Jinyang, the palace hall.

Gao Yanzong carried his hands behind his back and kept pacing on the ground. He was already extremely fat, but now he was anxious, his face was full of sadness, and his breathing became more and more heavy and disordered, as if he had just experienced a difficult battle.

Hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the hall, but they were all frowning, standing quietly with their heads bowed, and their faces were declining.

"Zhongqing's family, do you have any good strategies to deal with Yu Wenyong's treacherous plan?" After walking for a while, Gao Yanzong's heart became more and more irritable, his body also felt a little tired, and his forehead was soaked with fine beads of sweat. Gao Yanzong settled down, then sat back on the dragon chair, looked at the civil and military ministers below and asked.

Everyone looked at each other, but they were speechless.

The reason why Gao Yanzong did not encounter great resistance is not only because Gao Wei has gone against the grain and has already lost the support of the people, but also because the situation in Jinyang is urgent, and the people are eager to win the war and restore a peaceful life, which is the so-called popular desire. However, it is an indisputable fact that Gao Yanzong usurped the throne in a certain dynasty, and if his name is not right, it is not good, and only by repelling Yuwen Yong and winning the hearts of the people can he truly gain the support and support of the whole country.

Yu Wenyong saw that Gao Yanzong's foundation was not solid, and he took the people's will as the breakthrough point.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty broke through the land of the three states of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and countless people of the Northern Qi Dynasty were captured. It's winter, and it's not a small amount of supplies to settle these people. Now, Yu Wenyong drove many Qi captives who were hostile to Zhou to the outside of Jinyang City, which not only exerted great pressure on Gao Yanzong, but also reduced a lot of burden for his own supplies.

Three days ago, Gao Yanzong swore an oath that day and made bold statements, which not only earned a lot of fame, but also humiliated Yu Wenyong fiercely, making the latter almost crazy. Today, it is the opposite, it is Gao Yanzong's turn to frown and be anxious.

Tens of thousands of old and weak women and children starved outside Jinyang City, crying loudly, hoping that the new emperor Gao Yanzong could open the city to contain them, but this made Gao Yanzong fall into a dilemma.

For ordinary people, what they see and think of is just simply living and living, how can they think, or they won't think about it at all, if the city gate is opened and the Zhou army takes advantage of the situation to enter, Jinyang City will change hands in an instant.

However, the Zhou people will take advantage of the situation to enter the city, and the second is that Jinyang City is already short of materials, and suddenly accommodating these tens of thousands of refugees is undoubtedly worse for the lack of supplies and the lonely city. If the reinforcements do not arrive for a long time, Jinyang will definitely be trapped alive by Yuwen Yong.

Gao Yanzong is not a benevolent and benevolent person, those people are just grass mustard pigs and dogs in his eyes, not worth mentioning, but now that he has become a new treasure, there are many internal and external troubles, but there are many constraints, so he has to restrain himself.

He knew very well that if he watched the people in the city starve to death and freeze to death, it would deal a great blow to the morale of the soldiers in the city and cause the people to lose their hearts. But if you open the city gate rashly, the result will not be much better than the former.

Success is also the will of the people, and defeat is also the will of the people. It is precisely because of this that Gao Yanzong is so difficult.

Yu Wenyong's strategy kills two birds with one stone, which cannot be described as treacherous. War, the army that surrenders without a fight, and attacking the heart is the best policy.

Gao Yanzong saw that everyone was silent, and his heart was even more annoyed, then he looked at Tang Yong at the front, and asked gently: "Tang Aiqing, you have always been resourceful and insightful, what are the countermeasures this time?" ”

"Your Majesty praises falsely, and the micro-ministers dare not be ashamed!" Tang Yong was a little helpless, but he also knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he could only step out of the ranks, paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, Yuwen Yong is despicable and cunning, just because he saw that I was in short supply of grain and grass in Jinyang, and deliberately made some fools and fools to put pressure on you. Now that the morale of our army is booming, and the people are embracing it, it is a good time to fight to the death with the Zhou army.

"What do you have to say?" Gao Yanzong frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the others and said.

"The ministers seconded it!" Everyone looked at each other, and then replied in unison.

Gao Yanzong's face stiffened slightly, and he sighed helplessly in his heart, and then said: "Since you all agree with Lord Tang's opinion, then I will fight with Yuwen Yong, so that he knows that my big Qi man is not easy to match!" ”

……

"Yu Wenyong, as the king of a country, but you don't want to use such a despicable trick, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you?" At the head of Jinyang City, Gao Yanzong was dressed in a military uniform, looked at Yuwen Yong outside Xu with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"Gao Yanzong, war is child's play, either you die or I die, why do you need to talk nonsense!" Yu Wenyong chuckled and replied: "Gao Yanzong, now that Jinyang is short of soldiers and food, it is difficult to maintain, I advise you to surrender early, so as not to suffer more for the people in the city." I have always been magnanimous, as long as you are willing to lift the city and surrender, I am willing to make you the king of Lu, under one person, above ten thousand, the glory and wealth are endless, how about it? ”

Gao Yanzong sneered and said, "Yuwen Yong, put away your hypocritical set!" If you want Jinyang, then let the horse come over and see if the 100,000 soldiers and horses in my hands agree! ”

"Fight to the death, never retreat, never surrender!" Gao Yanzong's voice fell, and Tang Yong immediately raised his right fist and shouted loudly.

"Fight to the death, never retreat, never surrender!" The 100,000 soldiers in Jinyang City immediately echoed in unison, and the sound was rolling, rushing straight to Xiao Han, and the anger and murderous aura in it made Yu Wenyong's face gloomy.

Feeling the strong fighting intent revealed by the soldiers around him, Gao Yanzong's face suddenly showed a smile, and there was some color in his eyes when he looked at Yu Wenyong: "Yu Wenyong, you arrogant and arrogant, an incomparable old horseman, dare to fight with this king?" ”

"Why don't you dare?" Yuwen Yong raised his eyebrows and shouted with his head held high. Neither his identity nor the pride in his heart allowed him to refuse a challenge from Gao Yanzong.

"Good!" Gao Yanzong laughed and said, "Yuwen Yong, an hour later, I will be waiting outside the city!" ”

"It's a deal!" Yu Wenyong's face was deep and he shouted angrily, turned around and returned to the camp to arrange.

The time of an hour is not long, but it is not short. Just when the soldiers on both sides became more and more nervous, and the aura above Jinyang City became more and more solemn, with the heavy drum sound on the city, the heavy east gate of Jinyang City finally opened slowly.

Under the intently gaze of Yu Wenyong and other Zhou troops, the 30,000 Qi army was majestic and high-spirited, and slowly walked out of the city gate with firm and powerful steps, and at the front was a golden armor general, from his very exaggerated body shape, it can be seen that if it is not the Qi lord Gao Yanzong, who else will there be.

"Yuwen Pifu, get ready to die!" Gao Yanzong sat on horseback, looked at Yu Wenyong outside the distance from afar, shouted loudly, and then waved his hand forward suddenly. As soon as the words fell, Gao Yanzong rode his horse and galloped, rushing towards the Zhou army in the lead.

"Kill!" Seeing that the monarch was so heroic, the soldiers of the Qi army suddenly turned into hungry wolves, and rushed towards the Zhou army with a loud shout, the fierce momentum and awe-inspiring murderous aura made people shudder.

"Capture the Lord alive, go straight to Jinyang, rush!" Yu Wenyong's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his sword, the 30,000 troops behind him immediately roared and rushed towards the Qi army, like a surging torrent, with terrifying momentum.

"Wills, the Zhou people are aggressive, deceive people too much, occupy my land, deceive my compatriots, today we will ask them to pay for their blood debts and blood, kill me!"

Although Gao Yanzong was wide and fat, he was galloping at this time, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was wielding a tiger and a tiger, murderous and horizontal, flying back and forth, and extremely fast. Under the arch guard of Helan Leopard, Mo Duo Lou Jingxian and other generals, they actually killed the Zhou army to the point of crying wolves and fleeing in embarrassment, which made Yuwen Yong in the distance stunned.

Gao Yanzong led by example, how the soldiers of the Qi army did not fight to the death. Although they lacked training and their combat effectiveness was low, their morale was full of sky, and the combat effectiveness that broke out under the unity of the city was also extremely amazing, and they actually suppressed the Zhou army in a short period of time.

"Old man Yuwen, your grandfather is here, suffer death!" King Shuyang and A Ganzi were so killed that they couldn't help laughing, and with a knife they split the Zhou army blocking the road in front of them, and rushed towards Yuwen Yong, who was a hundred and ten meters away, with a shake of the reins.

"What a thief, arrogant, blowing nonsense, and not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue!" At this moment, a middle-aged general suddenly appeared on Yu Wenyong's side, with a strange appearance, extremely bright eyes, and a flickering light, which made people dare not force their eyes.

"Who are you to make such a fuss here? It's not too late for this king to behead you first, and then capture Yuwen's old puppet! He Aganzi's face sank, and he shouted angrily. As he spoke, he urged the war horse, the iron lance in his hand trembled slightly, and he swept towards the middle-aged general like the wind, and all the soldiers and soldiers of Zhou along the way were chopped out.

"Yang Jian, the one who killed you, you have to remember clearly!" The middle-aged general laughed, knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and rushed towards He Aganzi without flinching.

"Look for death!" He Aganzi was furious, scolded sharply, and even tried his best to urge the war horse, with a strong killing intent in his eyes. The iron lance in his hand carried the cold light of the forest, from top to bottom, as if he wanted to split Yang Jian in half.

"Hey!"

Just when the two of them were two meters together, Yang Jian suddenly scolded, and his straight body suddenly fell straight back, while a spear in his hand poked out like a spiritual snake. A little cold star flashed, and then he heard a miserable scream from the war horse under Ah Ganzi's crotch, but Yang Jian pierced one eye with a shot.

The war horse under Ah Ganzi's crotch was killed by Yang Jian's move, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, and the former was caught off guard, and his body suddenly rose up in the air uncontrollably and rushed forward. Yang Jian shouted, his eyes were quick, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed He Ganzi's collar and threw it to the ground.

There was a muffled sound of "touching", and Ah Ganzi immediately screamed, and he was thrown into a lot of meat, dizzy and swollen, and couldn't get up for a long time. And Yang Jian stood on horseback, the spear in his hand was tightly attached to the neck of He Aganzi, and shouted: "To descend or not to descend? ”

"Zhou thief, take your life!" At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from Yang Jian's side, but it was Duan Chang, the general of the right guard of the Qi State, who rode his horse to kill, and a pair of long swords flashed with cold light, stabbing straight at Yang Jian's back spine.

"Phew!" Yang Jian suddenly looked angry, raised his voice and shouted, his body quickly twisted, and he didn't look back, but the spear in his hand stabbed backwards at lightning speed.

"Poof!"

Duan's arrogant screams suddenly stopped, turning into a groan of pain. Duan Chang looked at Yang Jian in disbelief, only to see that the spear in the latter's hand actually passed through his chest, and the gushing blood quickly soaked the clothes on his chest.
