Businessmen chase profits, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Since the Yellow River burst its banks and Luozhou was affected, not only the price of grain in Luoyang has risen all the way, and it has remained high, but even the good families of the entire Northern Qi Dynasty have also begun to rise. There were already many officials in the court who opposed the practice of directly allocating relief money and silver, and at this time they were even more worried, and the opposition became more and more intense.

It is true that he is happy to have made great achievements in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and few people can match him, but after all, he is young, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions in administrative handling, and compared with Gao Changgong, some of his policies are obviously a bit fierce at this time, and they have invisibly violated the interests of many people. What's more, once a son of heaven and a courtier, even though Happy and Gao Changgong are father and son, they are naturally different from each other, which also makes some people dissatisfied.

However, no matter how opposed in the court, the joy was always smiling lightly, and there was no slightest wave in his deep eyes. At this moment, all explanations can only be pale and powerless, and only letting the facts speak is his most powerful counterattack.

Happy naturally knows that the reason why the prices in Luoyang City are chaotic is that the merchants are bound to pursue profits, and the other is the potential enemy's fueling, but he is not worried, after all, the people affected by the disaster are limited, and the daily consumption of food is also limited.

After the midwinter, sent away the warm spring, and finally ushered in the most gorgeous summer of the year, on the first day of the fourth month of 578 A.D., the Zhou State, the Chen State and the Turkic three parties that had been preparing for several months finally set out together, and the three parties gathered millions of soldiers and horses, and came to the Northern Qi Dynasty with the momentum of the wind and clouds.

Under the persuasion of Yang Jian, the Turks temporarily stopped fighting and unanimously went to the outside world, but Ashina Da Luo, Ashina Anluo, and Ashina Setu competed for the position of the Turkic Great Khan, and the three parties were all under their command, of which the three parties were all under their command, of which the army was 150,000, and the troops were directed at Beiyanzhou, while Da Luo led 100,000 troops to Hengzhou, and Shuozhou was attacked by Anluo, and the troops were also 100,000.

Northern Yanzhou is the farthest away from Jinyang, but it was under the rule of Gao Shaoyi, happy to recover the short day, because its defense is far less solid than Shuozhou, the gateway to the northwest of Northern Qi, Hengzhou is not close to Jinyang, but compared to Shuozhou, which is guarded by Dugu Yongye himself, whether it is the guard of Shirong or the stability of the city is inferior.

Faced with a long-cherished enemy who threatened his throne, Yuwen Yun was also ruthless this time, waving 300,000 troops, led by Yuwen Xiaobo, Yang Jian, Yuwen Shenju, and Yang Su, respectively, and the troops were divided into two routes, all the way from Xunzhou Yubi City, approaching Dongyongzhou, and one from Zhongzhou to Luozhou to attack.

Nan Chen is also not to be outdone, although the past few years have been continuous, in fact, there is not much loss, especially after Sima Fu took power, the rebels have now been incorporated by Nan Chen, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, this expedition, Sima Fu is also ambitious, 350,000 cavalry, led by Wu Mingche 200,000 troops to attack Hezhou, the other led by Huang Faqu, straight to West Chuzhou.

One million troops, this is an extremely terrifying number, the four major armies of Qi now have a total of 800,000 troops, and they are fighting on multiple fronts, the pressure they are facing is huge. The officers and men in the army did not have the slightest fear, but were eager to try, but some of the civil servants in the court were panicked.

After all, no matter how strong Happy is it, it only has one head and two arms, how to confront the Three Kingdoms, and the most worrying thing is that the enemy fights a war of attrition, which will be even more difficult for Northern Qi.

However, as the king of a country, he did not show the slightest fear, not even a trace of worry, and always had a confident smile on his face, and his deep and calm eyes gave people a sense of reassurance.

Few people know that Happy has actually been looking forward to this war for a long, long time, and he has been waiting for this day since the day he came to this world, and his efforts for many years are all for this war, so he will be so calm and calm.

The enemy is menacing and may seem terrifying, but it is not without flaws. The tripartite coalition forces belong to different countries, and their interests must be in their own minds, which gives happiness a lot of possibilities to operate. Although the multi-front offensive brought endless pressure to the Northern Qi, Xing Xing can also break through the surface and take the initiative against passivity.

……

Khitan, the king's tent.

"King Dahe, Ashina has left his tent, there are still three days away from Beiyanzhou, and it should be time to go!" Qin Qiong looked at Dahe Chucai, who was seated, and said with a serious face: "I don't know if the king's soldiers and horses have been completely prepared?" ”

A gleam flashed in Dahe Chucai's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "General Qin, my Khitan clan has been oppressing the Turks for decades, and now it's finally time to take revenge!" The scimitars in our hands have long been impatient, ready to drink the blood of the Turks, as long as the emperor gives an order, 80,000 Khitan warriors will go to the soup and fire, and they will not hesitate! ”

Qin Qiong's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "With the words of King Dahe, this time the Turks will definitely be defeated!" ”

"General Qin, please drink this bowl of wine, Chu Cai congratulates the general on his triumphant return!" Da He Chucai stood up suddenly, picked up the wine bowl on the table in front of him, looked at Qin Qiong with burning eyes, and said loudly.

"!" Qin Qiong raised the bowl and drank it, a slightly cold wine slid down his cheeks, his eyes became brighter and brighter, as bright as stars, with the pride of drinking, his body was even more powerful battle intent and murderous aura, which made Dahe Chucai's eyes condense slightly.

"King Ohga, Ben will leave!"

Throwing the wine bowl to the ground hard, the fragments scattered and splashed, Qin Qiong strode out, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder between his steps, and at the same time, the battle intent on his body was also rising rapidly, reaching an extremely terrifying point.

"Send General Qin, send warriors!"

With the chanting of Dahe Chucai, the horn sound that belonged to the Khitan suddenly sounded in the sky, and the rough and heroic voice shook the sky, and ignited the war spirit in people's hearts.

The soldiers of the 10,000 cavalry division were wearing tight-fitting Turkic uniforms, and no one was carrying a slender black cloth package behind them, and they didn't know what was hidden. At this time, they sat quietly on horseback, lined up in a neat line, and the thick evil aura on their bodies made people tremble. In the fierce and heroic sound of the horn, their eyes became brighter and brighter, but their faces became even colder, and the strong smell of blood emanating from their bodies made the ten thousand Khitan knights in formal suits not far away look sideways.

"Cavalry Division, let's go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Qiong jumped on the horse's back, took the reins of the horse, and the horse galloped towards the northwest, and with his movement, the 10,000 cavalry divisions and 10,000 Khitan knights behind him also rode their horses, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, the oath you didn't fulfill last year will be completed by me Qin Qiong and the brothers of the cavalry division for you today!"

Looking at the scorching sun gradually rising over the vast earth, Qin Qiong's eyes were murderous, and the cold aura on his body made the face of a young man beside him slightly unnatural. Different from the deliberate attire of the cavalry divisions around him, his face has clear characteristics of the steppe people.

"Qu Tutong, whether we can be wiped out in Dujin Mountain with lightning speed this time depends on you!"

Qin Qiong's indifferent voice came, Qu Tutong's heart froze, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The division commander can rest assured, the emperor is merciful, Qu Tutong can survive, this grace will never be forgotten, Qu Tutong will do his best to help the division commander complete the task!" ”

"That's it!" Qin Qiong nodded, and said with a faint smile: "The emperor once said that you are brave and strategic, and you are the material to be a general, but your identity, if you have no major merits, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, this time it will be regarded as your vote to join my Great Qi, if you succeed, this will ensure that you enter the Military Academy, and there will be a place for you among the generals of the Great Qi in the future, if you have a ghost in your heart, you will understand the consequences!" ”

As he spoke, Qin Qiong glanced at Qu Tutong again, and his eyes without the slightest color made Qu Tutong, a warlike prairie man, have a numb scalp.

……

"This thing is happy to call it gunpowder, and it is really powerful, but although we have found the ingredients in it, we have never been able to find the proportion. Without the exact recipe, we're either too potent or simply won't explode! ”

In Chang'an City, in a secret room under the downtown area, several high-ranking members of the Heavenly Evil Sect frowned, looked at the things on the table in front of them, and thought hard.

From Ding Hao's hands, they worked hard, but they still did not get the formula of gunpowder, which made it impossible for them to find a way to fight against Happy, and they could not use it to deal with Northern Qi.

Even during the flood season, the Yellow River was not easy to break, and in order to promote the Three Kingdoms to attack the Northern Qi, the Heavenly Evil Sect almost exhausted the gunpowder they took, but the consequences of this matter were not satisfactory.

"Sect Master, the Sixth Elder is dead!"

At this moment, a person suddenly walked in from outside the secret room, looked at an old man above him with a solemn and anxious face, and said.

"What?" The old man Huo Ran raised his head, revealing a rough face, and his eyes, which were originally a little cloudy, suddenly burst out with a cold and sharp gaze like a fierce beast, which was breathtaking, "One hundred and thirty-eighth, this is the one hundred and thirty-eighth disciple of my Heavenly Evil Sect who died innocently!" ”

Clenching his fists tightly, the aura on the old man's body fluctuated violently, just like his heart, full of anger and hatred. Even though he was the high-ranking Heavenly Evil Sect Master, the core disciples of the sect were assassinated one hundred and thirty-eight times in January, but they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, how could he not be angry.

"How did he die?"

"There is a blood hole in the center of the eyebrows, and he was assassinated by the enemy without the slightest reaction, which should be a secret weapon unique to Qi Guoxing!"

"Happy, damn happy, I'm going to kill you!"
