Chapter 407: The Princes of the Beacon Theater

Chapter 407 Outside Pingyang City, King Ande, in the marching tent of King Gao Yanzong.

"Bang!"

Gao Yanzong punched the book case hard, and his right fist pressed against a piece of paper. His fat face was completely distorted together, and a pair of small eyes suddenly became a narrow slit, but from that slit, the gaze projected was so sinister and angry.

"Idiot! Rubbish! Gao Yanzong suppressed his voice and cursed angrily, raised his foot and kicked the bookcase in front of him to the ground, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it were suddenly scattered on the ground, and there was a chaotic sound.

"What's wrong with you, King?"

"Protect the prince!"

The guards on duty outside the house suddenly panicked, and rushed towards the tent with their swords without thinking about it. Who would have thought that as soon as they entered the handsome tent with their front feet, they were greeted by Gao Yanzong's roar like an angry lion: "Get out, get out, get out!" ”

Everyone was suddenly smart, but the hanging heart was finally better, after all, Gao Yanzong was still very safe. Everyone hurriedly withdrew from the tent and deliberately walked away, so as not to let Gao Yanzong's anger fall on them for no reason.

Gao Yanzong smashed the things in the tent in a mess, and did not stop his movements until his strength was exhausted, and sat down on the ground, panting, and the anger in his eyes finally dissipated after this catharsis.

After several days of hard work, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, and at such a great cost, seeing that Pingyang City was about to be broken, Gao Wei suddenly gave an order to stop the attack, the most ridiculous and unreasonable thing is that the reason was to let Feng Xiaolian witness the spectacular scene of breaking the city with his own eyes.

Gao Yanzong doesn't care about Gao Wei's absurdity and the life and death of the people, all he cares about is his own rights and interests.

Although he was a little resentful about the cowardly and incompetent guy inheriting orthodoxy, Gao Yanzong could only hide the dissatisfaction in his heart, the so-called well water does not interfere with the river water, and he just needs to be a soil emperor.

However, it backfired, and a trumped-up rumor of "peace in the world" completely put an end to Gao Yanzong's plan to protect his life. On the road of power, either you die or I die, if you don't kill people, people will kill you. Gao Wei forced him to send troops to merge states, ascended and surrendered secretly, and installed henchmen, all of which showed that Gao Wei was suspicious of him and wanted to kill him.

He Gao Yanzong, the prince with the orthodox bloodline of the Gao royal family, is just a subordinate in Gao Wei's eyes, like a dog, who comes and goes when he calls. The rivers and mountains of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the glory of the ancestors are not as good as a woman's laughter in Gao Wei's eyes.

"Cushman & Wakefield, you faint king!" Gao Yanzong clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth. If he was only resentful of Cushman & Wakefield's attitude towards him and a trace of ambition before, now he has really made up his mind.

In ancient times, King Zhou You smiled for Bo Gong, the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, and now there is Gao Wei, the lord of Qi, in order to win Feng Xiaolian's favor, he actually ordered the army that was about to break the city to stop attacking, is there such a ridiculous thing in the world?

……

"The Qi army has retreated, the Qi army has retreated!"

In Pingyang City, watching the Qi troops swarming along the collapse of the city wall suddenly retreat like a tide, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians suddenly shouted in unison. Everyone's faces were full of excited smiles, and although their faces were covered in dirt, the smiles were extremely pure.

Liang Shiyan was also stunned, puzzled by Qi Jun's approach. He originally thought that the Qi army was about to enter the city, and he was ready to kill himself, but he didn't expect the Qi army to suddenly retreat.

"General, the Qi army has retreated, did our emperor send reinforcements?" A Zhou general asked with some excitement.

Although Liang Shiyan knew that Yuwen Yong's reinforcements were still far away, looking at the general's scarred body, his face full of tiredness, and his eyes full of hope, Liang Shiyan showed a smile on his face: "It should be that my emperor is here, otherwise the Qi army will not retreat!" ”

"Great, I know that my emperor will not give up on us!" The general's spirit was shocked, and he looked at Liang Shiyan with burning eyes and said: "General, give the order, the last general is willing to lead the army out of the city and flank the enemy with my emperor!" ”

"No!" Liang Shiyan hurriedly stopped: "Although the Qi army is a rabble and vulnerable, Pingyang is the only stronghold of our army at present, and it must not be lost." Send the order down, mobilize all the personnel in the city, quickly repair the city wall, build fortifications, and fight back with the army! ”

"Yes!" A hint of disappointment slipped into the general's eyes, but he still dragged his slightly lame left leg around to convey the order, but his tired spirit was much more excited.

"Soldiers, the war is not over yet, don't sleep, hold on a little longer, as long as we hold on a little longer, we will be victorious!"

"Young man, good job, kill fourteen enemies, you are the hero of my Great Zhou, I am proud of you!"

"Brother, thank you for donating food, I, Liang Shiyan, will not forget your kindness, and will do my best to protect the integrity of Pingyang City."

……

Although the Qi army does not seem to be attacking for the time being, Liang Shiyan has not slackened at all. While directing the soldiers and civilians in the city to fill the gaps and build simple fortifications, he gently comforted the soldiers at the head of the city and the people who helped.

The reason why Pingyang City was able to hold on to these days was not only because Liang Shiyan took the lead and commanded well, and the Zhou army was brave and good at fighting, but also because the people in the city actively supported it. Without the selfless help of tens of thousands of people in the city, it would be difficult for Liang Shiyan to defend against the enemy with the already dilapidated Pingyang City.

……

Ten miles outside Pingyang City, the Chinese army commander's tent.

"Your Majesty, according to your order, King Ande has ordered the attack to be stopped, just waiting for you to go and command the destruction of the city!" Gao Ana reported to Gao Weiyu, sitting on the main seat, calmly sipping fine wine.

"Okay, when my concubine dresses up, I will go together to witness the destruction of Pingyang City, I want Liang Shiyan's head to live the best!" Gao Wei's face was full of satisfied smiles, and his right hand gently played with a delicate white jade cup.

Gao Ana glanced to the side of the tent, where there was a thin and beautiful screen, and in the middle was a slender and moving figure. An imperceptible sneer flashed at the corner of Gao Ana's mouth, and then said with a flattering face: "Your Majesty is the supreme of the Ninth Five, and his majesty is imposed on the four seas. That Liang Shiyan dared to resist stubbornly, it was really a grasshopper shaking the tree, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead! ”

"Hahahaha, what Gao Aiqing said is very true! Come, have a drink with me! Cushman & Wakefield beckoned with a smile.

"Come, give me a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Ana bowed deeply, and then took small steps to the position of Gao Wei's head and sat down gently.

After the palace maid was filled with wine, Gao Ana Qiu got up and went to Gao Wei, and said respectfully and sincerely: "Your Majesty, Weichen respects you. I wish Pingyang City to be broken, and Liang Shiyan is ambushed; Second, I wish you a victory, defeat Yuwen Yong, and dominate the world; 3. I wish you happiness such as the East China Sea, longevity and Tianqi! ”

"Good, good, good!" Cushman high-fived and laughed, said three "good" words in a row, and then drank the wine in the glass.

Gao Ana is a guy who is good at speculative drilling, following Gao Wei's wishes, the horses like a tide are presented, and Gao Wei is held like sitting on the clouds, and he is comfortable.

After about an hour, Feng Xiaolian, who was dressed up, came out after a long time. The moment Feng Xiaolian bypassed the screen, the heaven and earth seemed to be eclipsed in an instant, whether it was Gao Wei, Gao Anaqi, or the others in the handsome tent, they all looked at Feng Xiaolian blankly.

Feng Xiaolian's beauty, everyone has seen it a lot on weekdays, although it is amazing, but it is not so out of shape. The reason why everyone is like this is that Guy Feng Xiaolian is actually wearing the dress of the queen of the world. The noble and exquisite golden phoenix crown shimmered in the flickering candlelight, and the silky and silky dress represented the proud and noble phoenix lifelike, all of which showed the identity of the owner.

Feng Xiaolian came to Gao Wei's side with graceful steps, frowned slightly, and asked softly with some trepidation: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the concubine, why do you look at the concubine so much?" ”

"Beautiful, really beautiful!" Gao Wei woke up in shock, grasped Feng Xiaolian's softness, and said with a look of amazement: "Sinking fish and geese, it's nothing more than that!" ”

"Your Majesty has praised it!" Feng Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, a little shy, and a little happy to say, a touching flush appeared on her fair face.

"How can it be a false praise? Who else in the world could be more beautiful than my queen? Gao Wei raised his eyebrows and raised his voice: "Gao Aiqing, what do you say?" ”

Gao Anaqiu hurriedly got up and left his seat, and bowed to the ground: "Weichen Gao Anaqiu to meet the queen mother, may the queen mother stay young forever and shine with the moon!" The queen is really a goddess of heaven, and who can reach mortals? Weichen is fortunate to see the queen's mother today, and he is really fortunate to have three lives! ”

Since the abolition of Empress Mu Huanghua Mu, the position of Empress of Northern Qi has been vacant. Gao Wei had already liked Feng Xiaolian, and he also revealed his intention to stand up in front of the courtiers several times. Now that Feng Xiaolian is wearing the queen's dress, she has naturally been instructed by Gao Wei, how can Gao Ana have disobedient words.

"Hahahaha! Gao Aiqing, let's be flat! Gao Wei's brows suddenly relaxed, and he laughed loudly: "Queen, go, go to Pingyang with me to witness the heroic moment of Pingyang's city breaking!" ”

"The concubine obeys!" Feng Xiaolian smiled, gently grabbed one of Gao Wei's arms, slightly lagged behind a point, and slowly walked towards the outside of the tent.

……

When Cushman and Feng Xiaolian arrived at the front, new simple fortifications had been built in Pingyang City. Gao Yanzong ordered the siege of the city, but half an hour passed, and the city was still in the hands of the Zhou army.

The so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. The Qi army did not seize the fleeting opportunity to break into the city, giving the Zhou army a chance to breathe, and lost the city in their hands. In the face of this result, although Gao Wei and Gao Yanzong tried their best to supervise the battle, the morale of the generals was exhausted, and it was difficult to succeed.

At this moment, a battle report suddenly came from afar, and Yuwen Yong once again led troops to attack, and at the same time sent troops to merge Xifenzhou on the west side of the state and Nanfenzhou adjacent to Jinzhou, this day was the fifth day of October.
