Chapter 425: Imperative

Gao Yanzong's white and fat face was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds, his brows were tightly twisted into the word "Chuan", and his chest was constantly rising and falling violently, obviously his mind was not calm, and anyone who was wantonly insulted would not be indifferent, except for those who saw through the red dust.

If Gao Yanzong was not the emperor now, he was still the King Ande who ate and drank and had fun before, according to his violent temper, I am afraid that he would have scolded him a long time ago. However, now that his identity is different, his words and deeds have many restrictions, so he can only suppress the anger in his heart.

Looking at the angry appearance of the generals below, Gao Yanzong was relieved and hated Yu Wenyong at the same time. Taking a deep breath and calming down the anger in his heart a little, Gao Yanzong looked at Prime Minister Tang Yong and asked, "Tang Aiqing, what is your opinion?" ”

It stands to reason that with Gao Yanzong's reuse, Tang Yong's heart is no longer depressed, and the whole person should no longer be so melancholy and old, but now he doesn't look very good. His eyes were red and swollen, bloodshot, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Now Jinyang is under siege by the Zhou army, and because of the abolition of the old and the establishment of the new, he has completely torn his face with Gao Wei, who not only will not send troops to the rescue, but may even fall into the ground. is the so-called embattled, such a crisis situation, how can Tang Yong, the prime minister, be happy.

Although Gao Yanzong had issued an edict in the name of the emperor and ordered the garrisons to send troops to rescue Jinyang, no one dared to guarantee whether anyone would be willing to send troops. After all, in recent years, the Gao royal family has been perverse, desolate, and defeated year after year, and has long lost the hearts of the people, and the majesty of the royal family does not exist. Now that the old is being scrapped and the new is being established, the Zhou army is attacking on a large scale, and the result is still unknown, and it is reasonable for everyone to take a wait-and-see attitude.

If there are reinforcements, then Gao Yanzong must hold Jinyang until the reinforcements arrive, and if there are no reinforcements, he must try to break the deadlock. Only by defeating Yuwen Yong, only in this way can he establish his prestige, integrate the strength of the whole country with Yuwen Yong, and compete with Gao Wei.

It's just easier said than done, if you want to defeat the army of Zhou Jun's tiger and wolf, it's not easy to say. The Zhou army is well-trained, has experienced the war, and has more than 100,000 people, but the Qi army is uneven, although the number is not inferior to the Zhou army, but half of them are newly recruited new soldiers, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Seeing Gao Yanzong ask himself, Tang Yong couldn't help but sigh and muttered for a moment before he said: "Your Majesty, now that the Zhou people are aggressive, if we don't fight, I'm afraid that it will damage the morale of the whole army, and it will shake the morale of the army and reduce your prestige." Yes, Weichen thinks we should go out of the city to fight! ”

Gao Yanzong's eyes froze, and his hands caged in his sleeves couldn't help but clench tightly. He is not stupid, and naturally knows that this battle is inevitable and unavoidable, but he also has some understanding of the combat effectiveness of his own army.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to take the head of the Yisheng dog to sacrifice the flag for His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, give the order!"

Helan Leopard, Moduo, Jingxian and the others suddenly burst into bright light in their eyes when they heard this, and the fighting intent on their bodies was even stronger.

The people's will is what the people want, the people are looking forward to it, Gao Yanzong is about to issue an order, but Tang Yong said again: "Your Majesty is slow, Weichen has something to say!" ”

"Tang Aiqing, please speak!" Gao Yanzong looked at Tang Yong suspiciously and asked.

Tang Yong took a step forward, looked at Gao Yanzong with a solemn face, and said: "Your Majesty, now that Yuwen Yong's 100,000 army is besieging Jinyang, we have no reinforcements outside, and there is no food and grass inside, so we must fight with the Zhou people, and we must win!" Only in this way can Your Majesty shock the hearts of the people and deter the whole country! In this case, we need to discuss the countermeasures! ”

Gao Yanzong raised his eyebrows, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded and said in agreement: "What Tang Aiqing said is extremely true, the enemy is outnumbered, and we really have to be careful. ”

……

In the northwest, in the mountains, there is a long red dragon that stretches for miles. This red long dragon is a man in hardcover for 10,000 people, everyone wears a red tight-fitting suit, which looks like the military uniform of the Qi army, but it is more close-fitting and more suitable for sports.

Although the weather was bitterly cold at this time, the top of everyone's heads was steaming, and their hair was covered with a layer of fine ice chips, but they still walked forward with determination. They don't move fast, but they are extremely steady. In the valley, except for the sound of footsteps, there was not a single murmur.

This is a well-trained and tried and tested army, which can be seen from the cold blades in their hands, the cold and serious eyes, and the thick evil aura on their bodies.

At the head of the team was a general in silver armor. Under the winter morning light, his waist was as straight as a pine and cypress, as if it was about to plunge into the clouds, and there was a compelling sharp aura all over his body.

"Stop!"

After walking like this for half an hour, the silver-armored general suddenly raised his right hand and shouted loudly. His voice didn't sound loud, but it was loud enough for the soldiers at the back of the line to hear it clearly.

"Huh!"

Everyone immediately stopped, and the world seemed to be silent for an instant, and there was no more sound.

The silver-armored general turned around, and in the faint sunlight, an extremely handsome face was a little more heroic against the background of the exquisite silver armor, but it made him look even more majestic. This is happy, the king of Sui Gao Changgong Shizi, the prince of Beiping County, the history of Shuozhou Thorn, and the general of Che Cai are happy.

Happy glanced at everyone lightly, and then ordered: "Rest in place, and continue on your way in a quarter of an hour!" With that, he turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly up the hill beside him.

The figure flickered a few times, and a happy figure appeared on a hillside of dozens of meters. He took a deep breath of cold air, then unhooked a telescope from his waist and peered out toward the southeast.

After a short time, the footsteps behind him sounded, but it was a man who looked like an iron tower following him, his face was resolute, his eyes were shining, and the fierce aura on his body made people fearful, but it was not Qin Qiong, the commander of the cavalry division, who else came.

"General, according to the way we walk and stop now, I'm afraid that we will be able to reach Jinyang at dusk tomorrow!" Qin Qiong looked happy, and said with some doubts: "Now that Jinyang is under siege and the situation is in crisis, since the general has decided to send troops to rescue, why should he slow down the march?" ”

"Yuwen Yong is not easy to match, there is no shortage of capable people around him, he besieged Jinyang this time, in addition to trapping Gao Yanzong, he also surrounded the point to send reinforcements, wanting to annihilate all the living forces of my Daqi and win in one battle." Happy changed direction, and while continuing to observe carefully, he said: "Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, since you have followed me, I will naturally do my best to ensure your safety!" ”

"Moreover, although Gao Yanzong is my uncle, he is not at odds with my father. He is now on the throne and called the emperor, I am afraid that he is even more jealous of his father, the siege of Jinyang has been lifted, and after removing Gao Wei, I am afraid that my father and son will be his biggest enemy! Speaking of this, there was no ridicule in his happy tone.

Qin Qiong frowned, and then said, "Then general, why do you still send troops to the south, and let King Ande fight with the Zhou army, wouldn't it be better for us to reap the benefits?" ”

He chuckled happily, put down the binoculars, turned his head to look at Qin Qiong, and then looked at the 10,000 soldiers resting at the bottom of the mountain, his eyes couldn't help but become a little ethereal and profound: "We are soldiers, and our duty is to protect our family and defend the country." I am your commander-in-chief, and I desire victory, but I also hope that each of you can live in peace and happiness. ”

Qin Qiong was shocked, looking at Xingxing's slightly thin but majestic back in a daze, and his heart kept echoing with what he had just said, and suddenly he suddenly understood something.

As courtiers, generals, and soldiers of the empire, they should go to the front line to fight the enemy and defend the common people. As a commander, he must be responsible for his subordinates, and as a son, he must protect his father and destroy all enemies.

It's complicated, but there is only one sentence to sum up: Gao Yanzong can die, but Jinyang can't be broken.

One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. But in this world, how many generals have been able to value the lives of soldiers more than meritorious deeds since ancient times? Gao Xing may not be the best commander, but Qin Qiong finally fully understands why the army he trained has such a strong combat effectiveness, and why he worships, trusts, and loyals him so much.

"It is inevitable that there will be a fierce battle this time, and I hope everyone can live." sighed happily, a touch of sadness slipped through his eyes, and then he cleaned up his mood and said, "It's not too early, let's continue to hurry." With that, he turned around and went down the mountain, stretched out his arms, and glided down like an eagle, only occasionally tapping the ground with his toes.

……

"Uhhh

Suddenly there was a long horn sound in his ears, and Yu Wenyong, who was in the handsome tent, suddenly put down the bamboo slip in his hand and listened attentively.

Jinyang City?

After realizing that the voice was coming from Jinyang City, Yu Wenyong's eyes froze, and Huo Ran got up. At this moment, the curtain of the handsome tent was opened, and Wei Xiaokuan, who was dressed in military uniform, strode in and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the east gate of Jinyang is opened, and Gao Yanzong has appeared, thinking that he has decided to fight." ”

"Finally showing up? I'm afraid he won't come out! Okay, let's go, let's go and have a look! The corners of Yu Wenyong's mouth pulled out a happy smile, and as he spoke, he left the bookcase, quickly draped it under the service of the guards, and then walked out with Wei Xiaokuan.

At the head of Jinyang City, because of the arrival of Emperor Gao Yanzong, all the soldiers immediately cheered and shouted, shouting like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth. The morale of the Qi army was high, and everyone was full of fighting spirit. Being insulted by the Zhou people for two days has already made them angry in their chests, and now that Gao Yanzong has appeared, it means that they will start a war with the Zhou people, and their anger finally has a channel to vent.

Under the imperial flag, Gao Yanzong's face was grim, and the golden armor on his body shone in the sunlight, making his fat body look a little more majestic.
