Chapter 200: The Fall of the Patriotic Nation
The final result of the melee in Guze City was that the Fu brothers had the advantage and killed Liu Hao and opened the door to dedicate the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After Fang Taiyan, who had been waiting outside, took over the city and killed the Fu brothers.
However, the Great Qi State claimed that the two men had been seriously injured in the battle last night, and they both died soon after their surrender.
After Zhao Yuan heard the news, he glanced at Cui Qi who was standing next to him, Cui Qi understood, and immediately quietly withdrew from the tent.
Not long after, the medical officer in the camp came to report that Empress Dowager Fu and Wei Wen's condition had deteriorated last night and they had both passed away.
Zhao Yuan listened and nodded slightly.
Since then, Weiguo, one of the Seven Pillar Kingdoms, has disappeared from this world.
After the Qi army entered Guze City, they saw that the market was in a mess. Days of internal fighting have caused heavy damage in Guze City, and the corpses of soldiers and severed limbs can be seen everywhere in several streets where the fighting is fierce, and no one can clean it up.
Almost all the shops in the city are closed, and there is a depression, and no one dares to go out on the streets, even the originally lively church winery.
At this time, it was mid-spring in the south, and the continuous rain was dripping and dripping, and the air was filled with the smell of corruption and death. Zhao Yuan took his sword and rode his horse slowly in the ruins of Guze City, the rain fell down his golden armor and silver blade, and burrowed into his clothes along the gaps in the armor, wetting his shirt and hair, and the cold flowed against his skin, and the breeze blew, and the cold was cold to the bone.
Although he had seen such a bleak post-war scene in front of him, he had seen it countless times. But this time, he missed Luoyang so much for some reason, missing a warm body, fragrant taste, soft memories, like a tide beating his heart in waves......
Only at this time, he was facing the gray-black fog-shrouded street in front of the horse's head, a road that had to walk on the corpse, and every day he had to be careful of countless visible and invisible knives and hidden arrows, and always walked side by side with death.
This is a road that can only move forward and not turn back, only if he keeps moving forward and does not stay for a moment, can he protect her in Luoyang safely, not to mention the tension of the war ahead, that is, the hidden force in Luoyang City, is also waiting for his horse's hooves to stop, even if it is just a small mistake, it is enough to cause an unpredictable chain reaction.
Years of being in the power center of the empire let him know that there is never a time in the empire when it is peaceful, calm, and crises are always lurking, just like being in a small tent in a storm, he must be alert at any time which nail is loose, where it is about to be torn apart by the wind, and quickly repair, the storm will always continue, and he will never rest, until the moment of death.
Did he exhaust half of his life for such a life?
The answer is yes, his steps are always forward, and so is his lust for power.
When he was a child, he always looked at the mountain in the distance, and for some reason, he always felt that there was an infinite attraction on that side of the mountain, and he must go there to see it.
After joining the army, when he was quiet, he still loved to look at the mountains in the distance, although it was no longer a mountain outside the village, but it still had magic, and he told himself that he must go to the other side of the mountain to see.
Year after year, step after step, countless mountains attracted his footsteps and never stopped, there were mountains, and there were over there, he had to go and see.
Until now, the Lord of the Empire, because of habit or something, he is still advancing, not about power, not about her, just for the other side of the mountain.
He may be longing for nothing but not stopping......
When I arrived at the General's Mansion, it was already full of Qi officials and became a command center.
Zhao Yuan sat down in the main hall, the civil and military generals were separated on both sides, and he ordered Cui Qi to record the arrangements after entering the city: "First of all, we must strictly enforce military discipline, all Qi troops must not commit any offense against the people in the city, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." Next, open a position to help the poor. At the same time, it is necessary to remove harsh punishments, lenient punishments, reduce land rents, and give courtesy to the elderly, and release the noble slaves and maids in Guze City. ”
Next, Zhao Yuan arranged for Fang Taiyan to lead 3,000 soldiers to pack up the bodies of all the patriotic soldiers and find a place to bury them properly, so that there should be no insults to the corpses.
After the arrangement was completed, Zhao Yuan ordered the generals to go down to rest and recuperate.
When all the officials in the main hall dispersed, Zhao Yuan called the personal military attache to his side and said: "The queen's Qianqiu Festival is coming, you go to the city to buy some gifts in the next few days, and send them back to Luoyang quickly." ”
The military attache of the inner chamberlain ordered him to leave.
Zhao Yuangang wanted to go back to the back hall to rest for a while, and a sentry came to report that General Qi Ming had conquered the southern front of the Patriotic Empire, and was driving straight into the hinterland of the Patriotic State at this time. General Sun Chushan also received good news on the northern front, and the defenders of the northern line of the defense of the country could no longer support the offensive of the Qi army besieging the city, and opened the door to dedicate the city.
After listening to the report, Zhao Yuan continued to walk to the back hall, he thought, "Maybe I can sleep a little more this afternoon." ”
……
Yunyang saw the forest that covered the sky again.
One tree after another, some upright, some leaning, some lying horizontally to the ground, the trunks of the trees were covered with moss, green and green, like a bag of lake water inside, about to flow down.
The familiar black horse was running through the woods, and when it spotted Yoon, it stopped and stood in the distance, opposite her......
Yunyang opened his eyes suddenly, the sunlight had already penetrated through the hollow carved grille, Yunyang was lying on the gold-inlaid red agate pillow, and felt his heart beating hard.
She sat up from her bed. Yin Lu heard the voice and walked in from outside: "Concubine Niangniang, did you sleep well last night?" Is there a command? ”
"Hmm." Yun Yang answered, "Can the stone be in the temple?" ”
"I just saw him, does the concubine want to see him, the slave and maid will call him in to reply." Drink the greenway.
"Let him come in and see me after breakfast."
"Yes."
When the stone entered the inner hall, Yunyang was sitting on the Luohan bed flipping through a notebook, and when he saw him, he said: "These **** can go to the inner service province, but there is news from the emperor's front." ”
Shi knelt down and said: "The little slave knows that Niangniang's heart is always thinking about the emperor, and these days I ask the well-informed little eunuch every day, and there is really good news this morning." ”
"It is said that yesterday there was a chamberlain riding a fast horse from Guze City, and sent the emperor to the queen to prepare a gift for the Qianqiu Festival, I heard that a copy was also prepared for the harem concubines, at this time the gifts have been sent to the Longkang Palace, please take a look at the queen's mother, I think it will be delivered to you soon."
When Yunyang heard this, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he secretly thought: "The emperor is very the southern front, and I heard that the war is not all smooth sailing, even so, he still thinks about the people in the harem, he is really a rare considerate man in the world." ”
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Qu Jun, the eunuch beside the queen, walked in and said with a smile: "In the past few days, the province has sent Xingong's makeup and satin to the Longkang Palace. ”
"The queen said, the concubine is at a good age, so it's good to dress up beautifully."
Hearing this, Yunyang got up and thanked him: "There is Queen Lao's mother's concern." ”
Qu Jun said: "Today, the queen will feast on the relatives of the royal family and the harem concubines, and please move to the Longkang Hall when the sun is sinking." ”
Yun Yang listened to it and couldn't ask for it in his heart: "This palace will definitely participate on time." ”
