Kunling Pass was once the core point of the defense line of the eastern border army of Chu against the Qi army, and it was with Kunling Pass as the fulcrum that Cheng Wuben built the defense line of the Chu army, known as the iron wall in the east. However, now, it has become the base camp of the Qi army to attack the hinterland of the Chu State. Zhou Jiyun's core aide Yue Kaishan is the county guard of Kunling County.

After serving as the county guard of Kunling County, he tried his best to manage this Kunling County into the rear of the Qi army's invasion of the hinterland of Chu State.

Of course, there are still many differences between their Qi army and the Qi army in the eyes of the emperor. Because Zhou Jiyun is the banner man of the wealthy clan of Qi in the military of Qi State, and now the Qi army entrenched in the six eastern counties, its main force is the army controlled by the wealthy gentry clan.

Cao Tiancheng, the emperor of Qi State, has become more and more powerful in weakening the gentry clan in China, and the means are becoming more and more ruthless. But rebellion is not their choice now, it is a last resort when there is no way out.

It's like everyone lives in a big house, and now although there are many contradictions, no one wants to tear their faces and fight, because it will break the foundation of this building. The emperor of Qi didn't want to, and neither did these wealthy families. Because they all see this home as their own.

Now the emperor of Qi has the advantage, he first gave up the land of the three counties of Qianyue in exchange for a tacit understanding with the Ming army, thus annihilating the 200,000 army of the Chu army in one fell swoop, and directly broke the backbone of the most threatening country in the past to the Qi country, and successfully seized the six eastern counties, opened the door of the Chu state, and won a huge prestige in the Qi country, which is a great cause that the previous emperors have not completed.

But in this process, he quietly connived at the general An Ruhai of the Chu State, Jiang Tao and others raged wildly in the country, where these two people passed, the power of the wealthy family disappeared, until Cao Tiancheng felt that he had achieved his goal, so he took action to exterminate An Ruhai and Jiang Tao's army.

The wealthy families knew the emperor's thoughts, but they had nothing to say. Because at that time, the main army of the Qi State was exterminating the army led by the Emperor of the Chu State!

At the last moment, Cao Tiancheng once again ordered Cao Yun to launch an encirclement and suppression of the emperor of Chu in advance, on the surface, he had to give this order because of the huge pressure from the wealthy families in the country, in fact, Cao Tiancheng was really harboring evil intentions when he issued this order.

Because there were still loopholes in the encirclement, Min Ruoying escaped with more than 50,000 of the most elite Fire Phoenix Army. Min Ruoying retreated to Wanzhou, and at this time, who was the person stationed in Wanzhou? It's Zhou Jiyun.

Zhou Jiyun led the most powerful army that the wealthy clans in the Qi country could control.

When Min Ruoying arrives in Wanzhou, she will inevitably launch an onslaught against Zhou Jiyun, and Cheng Wuben, who is in Wanzhou, will naturally launch an offensive against Zhou Jiyun in order to relieve their emperor.

Zhou Jiyun will face a situation of being attacked on both sides.

This planning, if it can really succeed, then there will inevitably be a battle to the death between the army of Chu and Zhou Jiyun's army, whether Min Ruoying can escape or not, Cao Tiancheng doesn't care, because even if he can break through, it will hurt his muscles and bones, and the 50,000 Fire Phoenix Army doesn't know how much he can go back? Of course, I am afraid that there are not many troops left under the command of Zhou Jiyun.

And those big families of the Qi State realized that the emperor had a great evil intention this time, but it was only after this battle that they really reacted.

Because after Min Ruoying turned around, she didn't have much effort and fled back. In those directions, where are the elites of the Qi State who should have been arranged?

They were mobilized to the rear of Wanzhou by secret order from the emperor.

This is to wait for Zhou Jiyun and Emperor Chu to fight for both defeats, and then jump out to get the benefit of the fisherman. If Min Ruoying really went to Wanzhou, then Emperor Cao Tiancheng of Qi would really kill two birds with one stone.

As for whether Min Ruoying can really escape, will he care?

And in this calculation that was almost flawless, in the end it went wrong. And the most unexpected thing about Emperor Cao Tiancheng is probably Cheng Wuben.

Cheng Wuben was regarded by Qi Tiancheng as a loyal dog of the Min family, but it was this loyal Min courtier, and at the last moment, he actually left Min Ruoying behind. It doesn't matter if he throws it, Min Ruoying can only change direction. I'm afraid that Min Ruoying herself didn't expect it, and she was forced to change her direction, and she actually escaped back smoothly along the way, but she only encountered a few small fish and shrimp on the way.

This sudden incident broke Emperor Qi's wishful thinking, and the State of Chu retained a certain amount of strength, especially Cheng Wuben established a complete defense line in Jinghu, and Zhou Jiyun's main force was finally retained.

Cao Yun's retirement after the war is already the consensus reached by all the big names in the Qi country, Cao Yun's credit is too great, the emperor is afraid of him, and Cao Yun's prestige is too high, and the wealthy families don't like him. In the calculation of the wealthy clan of the Qi State, in this war, as long as Zhou Jiyun has made great contributions, there is no doubt that he will take over the position of marshal. It's a pity that Min Ruoying ran away, and Cheng Wuben also ran away, and this big black cauldron was finally detained by the emperor on Zhou Jiyun's head.

Originally, the emperor wanted Zhou Jiyun to have a hard fight with Min Ruoying, and in the end, Min Ruoying escaped, he could find trouble with Zhou Jiyun and wipe him directly from the beginning to the end, not to mention the position of the handsome, whether his life can be saved or not has to be said separately. But in the end, there was an accident, Min Ruoying did run away, but Zhou Jiyun's strength was not damaged at all.

That's not where to start.

Naturally, this is not the end of the matter. Since this purpose has not been achieved, then it is natural to continue, so Guo Xiancheng succeeded to the position of marshal, a puppet marshal that the emperor likes, the emperor took the opportunity to begin to gather domestic military power, and Zhou Jiyun was pressed in Kunling Pass, continued to attack Chu State, and Cheng Wuben's Jinghu defense line was hard to confront.

Does Emperor Qi care who wins and who loses? Of course I don't care. What he wants is that the strength of both sides is constantly being consumed, and he is very happy that he has suffered a big defeat on that side.

As for the wealthy families in the Qi country, even though they knew that the Emperor of Qi was once again harboring evil intentions to harm them, they had to jump into this pit with hesitation.

Emperor Qi wanted to consume their strength, but he still gave them the six eastern counties of the Chu State, this is a huge territory, how can it not be an opportunity? What's more, if they can break the Jinghu defense line, then the hinterland of Chu will be exposed in front of their eyes, the hinterland of Chu is rich, there are many people, and the wealth of Chu is really not over.

Risk always comes with great opportunity.

If they can win, then the wealthy families of the Qi State will not only be able to get the huge benefits of the Chu State, but they will no longer be afraid of the Qi Emperor after making great contributions, and at that time, the Qi Emperor will not be able to attack them unscrupulously. They can continue to survive above board and take on the Emperor.

This generation of emperors is wise and martial, they feel that they are not opponents, but they can be restrained and self-preservation, but what about the next generation? Is Emperor Qi still as powerful as Cao Tiancheng now? That's not likely, if there is a weak and mediocre emperor, then they will have a lot to offer.

These inheritance families are like this, generation after generation has consumed many wise emperors, and one dynasty after another has fallen, but they still exist. When their strength is small, they will hide their claws, and when their power is strong, they will enter the house in a grand manner.

Now the Cao family of Qi State, many years ago, wasn't it also a wealthy family of the Tang Dynasty?

He knew that this was very powerful, so he wanted to get rid of the Qi family, which was attached to the country's body, and the family was unwilling to be killed, and the two sides began to fight openly and secretly on the basis of this kind of foundation that did not break the foundation of the family.

Cao Tiancheng is a chess player, and he has eliminated a lot of big clans with insufficient strength, but the big clans with real profound roots are not so simple. The royal family has the upper hand, but the strength of the family remains.

In order to achieve this purpose, these inheritance families tilted too many resources to the six eastern counties, and a large amount of silver money and materials were sent to Kunling County, and Yue Kaishan relied on these to make Kunling County recover in the fastest way after the war in a short period of time.

But no one thought that Zhou Jiyun in a good form, actually lost the advantages accumulated before in a battle, Bian Wushuang took Wanzhou City, cut off the back road to attack the Jinghu army, under the first battle, tens of thousands of Qi troops were wiped out, and the six eastern counties were suddenly in danger.

The loss of Wanzhou City is equivalent to a big hole between the six eastern counties.

Can those wealthy families in Qi afford to lose? Naturally, they can't afford to lose, because if they lose this war in the six eastern counties, then they will also lose the last bargaining chip in the secret battle with Emperor Qi in the country. They will be reduced to fish and meat on the board of the Qi Emperor, and they will be allowed to take what the Qi Emperor wants, and they will no longer be able to resist.

So, they have to keep this piece of territory in the east.

"It's no longer possible to completely hold the six eastern counties! But at least half of it must be saved." An old man in an ordinary robe was standing in front of Zhou Jiyun and Yue Kaishan at the moment, staring at the two of them angrily and shouting. I don't care at all about these two people, one is the general of the Qi State, and the other is the county guard of the town guarding one side." What you wanted, you were given to you, but you still failed, you must know that what you lost was your own future, the future of your family. Zhou Jiyun, General Zhou, we are all very disappointed in you. Now Cao Tiancheng is probably laughing in his splendid palace! He has seen that our end is near. Zhou Jiyun, now we only have one breath. I can tell you very clearly that everyone no longer trusts you, and it was me and your Zhou family who gave up great interests to keep your current position, and if you fail again, then no one will be able to save you." nt
