After Yu Wenyong married Tianyan, I rarely saw him again. Every day with the heavenly gift in the imperial garden frolic, although the palace people have a little whisper, but to me is respectful, life is quite leisurely.

Looking at the lovely face of God, I often fall into endless thoughts about Su'er. I always believe that one day I can see him again, maybe this day will be a long time away, but I have God's company, and no matter how long the wait is, it will not be difficult.

After nearly two months, Yu Wenxian, who had sent an envoy to the Turks, returned to the Zhou State, bringing with him 2,000 fine war horses. After the Turkic Khan received a large amount of compensation, he heard that Tianyan had become the queen of the Great Zhou, and he naturally did not want to make a big move when he still had three sons, so he took the most scarce war horse in the Central Plains as a dowry and ended the matter.

At this time, there was good news from the Imperial Medical Department, Tianyan was pregnant, and I was relieved to hear the news, and one thing that shocked Zhou Guo even more was the war in Northern Qi. The army of the Zhou State finally broke through the Northern Qi defense line on the north bank of the Yellow River twenty days ago, attacked Shangdang from Hanoi, and won seven battles and seven victories, and went straight to the state of Bingzhou, and the army was under the city of Jinyang.

Upon hearing this news, the ministers of the DPRK and China all could not believe it, why did the war that had not advanced an inch in the past three years win a big victory in a short period of time? It was only at this moment that Yu Wenyong revealed the answer, and it was none other than Wei Xiaokuan, who had been demoted before, that the person presiding over the war was none other than Wei Xiaokuan, who had been demoted before.

It turned out that being expelled from the court that day was just a bitter ploy of Yuwenyong and Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Xiaokuan had already obtained a secret order, and after leaving the palace, he rushed to the Yellow River in the starry night, secretly took over the army, and spent half a month collecting grain and grass to recuperate. The Northern Qi side did not know about it, and even held a feast for Wei Xiaokuan's loss of power, and the guards along the river also relaxed their vigilance, until the Zhou army broke through the defense line and suffered defeats one after another, and heard that it was Wei Xiaokuan who presided over the war, and then he woke up.

In just over ten days, 21 cities were taken, forcing Gao Wei to retreat to Yecheng, the capital of the country, and Gao Yanzong's Jinyang was used as horns to block the Zhou army.

Just as the whole country was celebrating, Wei Xiaokuan sent someone to send a secret report, and the army led by him was defeated by Gao Yanzong's Tiefutu outside Jinyang City, and Jinyang could not be attacked for a long time.

Yuwen Yong knew that if he didn't take Jinyang, Yecheng would be difficult to conquer, so he ordered the royal driver to march in person and led an army of 50,000 to support Wei Xiaokuan. And my good days are obviously over, Yuwen Yong knew that I was familiar with the geography of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and ordered me and him to go out with the army.

After the army arrived in Jinyang, Yuwen Yong made an appointment to fight Gao Yanzong, and the two sides fought outside Jinyang for several days, and the Zhou army was defeated under the Tiefu Tu one after another. By the fifth day, Yuwen Yong dug countless pits in his own phalanx, and as soon as the two sides fought, they ordered the soldiers to retreat in a hurry.

Tiefutu, whether it is a war horse or a knight, is all heavily armored, connected to each other by iron chains, and a horse falling into a pit often makes the whole team of people and horses be strangled, so far the most powerful killing move of the Northern Qi Dynasty has also been lost.

Yuwen Yong took advantage of the defeat of Tiefutu, waved his army to cover the killing, and broke straight into Jinyang City.

Seeing that the victory was coming, Gao Yanzong distributed all his property to the people, and gathered the strength of the army and the people of the city to fight back desperately, and the soldiers led by Yu Wenyong were caught off guard, where could they withstand such a fierce attack, and they were defeated in a short time. Gao Yanzong looked at Yuwen Yong's appearance, issued a huge reward order, and the whole city soldiers and civilians killed Yu Wen Yong together, forcing Yu Wen Yong to escape from the city as a small soldier and return in defeat.

"Withdraw your troops!"

When Yu Wenyong returned to the barracks, it was nearly four watches, and he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

The generals did not dare to disobey the military order, but Yu Wenxian refused to retreat, knelt down and said: "Holy Lord, today our army has defeated Tiefutu, and the defenders in Jinyang City have no power to resist. If the army is withdrawn now, Gao Wei will inevitably send reinforcements to help, and it will not be easy to capture Jinyang again. ”

"Now the people in Jinyang City are wanting, the morale is high, and if you don't retreat, you can't attack it!" Yu Wenyong's voice was steady.

Wei Xiaokuan glanced at me and knelt on the spot: "The ancients: The king humiliated the ministers to death, and now Gao Yanzong has picked up the emperor's clothes and armor at the head of Jinyang City, claiming that the emperor has died in the chaos, and the emperor has been humiliated by him, the old minister really can't stand it, and he is willing to lead an army to break through Jinyang, and be ashamed of the emperor!"

I didn't expect him to ask me suddenly at this time, and I didn't avoid it, and replied generously: "I don't understand the matter of the military formation. But I know the road, but I still have to wait for the emperor's detailed work to find out the situation in Jinyang City before deciding. ”

Wei Xiaokuan didn't expect me to answer like this, and the eyes that looked at me were full of hatred.

"Now I can only make a decision after carefully investigating the enemy's situation!" Yu Wenyong catered to my words.

Half an hour later, news came from Xizuo: Gao Yanzong found Yu Wenyong's armor and thought that he had been killed by the rebellious soldiers, and the soldiers also thought that the catastrophe had been eliminated and the Zhou army would retreat, so they went to the market wine shop to drink!

Yu Wenyong immediately gathered his troops and returned again to attack the east gate of Jinyang, but the defenders could not resist it, and it only took a moment to lose the city gate.

Knowing that Gao Yanzong was guarding the south gate, Yu Wenyong took me to the south gate non-stop.

"Gao Yanzong, Jinyang also fell into my hands, if you surrender, I will spare you from dying!"

Gao Yanzong's eyes made contact with me, and then he laughed: "If you become a king and lose a king, why are you afraid of death? This king has already fought vigorously, and today he will die without regrets! Yu Wenyong, if you want to kill this king, let the horse come, don't hide behind the woman!"

Yu Wenyong sneered and brought me to the front of the formation: "Gao Yanzong, you still recognize her! It's a pity that Gao Changgong doesn't have this opportunity!"

"Yu Wenyong, my fourth brother won't let you go! you wait for him to come back and get your head!"

"Hahaha! He can't come back!" Yu Wenyong's eyes were red, and his right hand clasped my neck tightly: "Gao Changgong should have died a long time ago, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have loved so bitterly!"

Gao Yanzong just looked at me, trying to find the answer on my face.

"Don't believe him, King Lanling is still there, Gao Changgong is not dead!"

Gao Yanzong's eyes slowly showed a smile: "If we meet in the future, I would like to ask my sister-in-law to tell the fourth brother that Gao Yanzong will not surrender to the death and will not insult the reputation of my Gao family!"

I nodded blankly, with tears in my eyes, and Yu Wenyong's cold voice in my ears: "Shoot!"

As soon as the words fell, more than 100 archers who followed him bent their bows and arrows at the same time, and countless long arrows rained down on the place where Gao Yanzong was standing. Gao Yanzong waved his spear to block, but the rain of arrows was like a note, after all, no human power could resist it, and there were countless arrows all over his body, none of which were intact.

"Boom!"

Gao Yanzong used all his strength to pierce the spear in his hand into the city wall, he was always a man......

"Don't!"

A terrible shout came, and a pale cyan figure flew up to the city and hugged Gao Yanzong's body.

"Xiao Xin'er!"

I looked at the petite body in front of me, as if I was in a different world, and I met on the battlefield today, but it was life and death, and there was no trace of hatred in my smart eyes, only the unstoppable sadness.

"Your Majesty, you don't need my Xiao Xin'er anymore!" she said in a low voice, as if talking to herself.

Yuwen Yong saw that it was her, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers who wanted to step forward to snatch the corpse retreated according to the order, leaving her alone on the city wall.

Xiao Xin'er raised her head, her face was full of tears, and she smiled slightly: "There is no joy in life, and there is no fear in death? The fate of blood drops is like this! I never regret it, it is Xin'er's blessing to be able to serve the emperor, the emperor! Xin'er is alive and is the blood drop of Da Zhou, and she will never betray Da Zhou when she dies!" After that, she picked up Gao Yanzong's body with all her strength, and disappeared from my sight.
