A touch of morning light appeared on the horizon, and the warm colors dispelled the dark night, but the exhausted Yu Wenkang did not feel the slightest warmth, only the cold from the inside out. The cold wind ruffled his long hair and revealed his cheeks full of wind and frost, but now he was full of sadness and gloom when he used to be quite majestic.

"Yuwenkang, give up, you can't escape!" In the distance, Yuwen Shenju's clear voice came, and it was still so clear even in the scorching cold wind.

The hero is in the twilight of his life, and he is at the end of his rope.

Yu Wenkang trembled, and these eight words floated in his heart. He didn't look back, just quietly looked at the rolling Yellow River in front of him, feeling the coldness carried on the rushing water vapor, only in this way could his depressed mood due to failure be alleviated, or paralyzed.

Becoming a king and defeating a king has been a matter of course since ancient times. From the beginning of the cavalry rebellion, Yu Wenkang had guessed such a result, but he did not expect that he would be defeated so quickly and so miserably.

"Lord Wang, you take a boat and leave, the last general is willing to cut off the queen for you!" The cronies around him saw that Yuwen Shenju led this black suppression of the Zhou army to come up, and said anxiously.

Yu Wenkang smiled sadly: "What's the point of running away?" After speaking, he looked at Yuwen Shenju from a distance and raised his voice: "Yuwen Shenju, are you here?" Yu Wenkang's tone was very flat, plain and gentle, as if it was a greeting to an old friend.

Yuwen Shenju stopped and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I'm here, do you want to fight again?" ”

"Can I ask you for one thing?" Yuwen Kang smiled, his smile in the morning light was full of endless loneliness, and without waiting for Yuwen Shenju to answer, he shook his head with a gloomy face and said, "I hope that all the blame will be borne by me!" ”

As he spoke, Yu Wenkang turned his head and looked around, taking a deep look at the soldiers gathered around him. Yesterday there were 100,000 soldiers, but now there are only more than 2,000 people left, all of whom are tired, and their expressions are a little numb.

"Take care!" After a long time, a rich smile bloomed on Yu Wenkang's face again, like a withered flower, and his voice was very soft, but heavy, so that everyone could hear it clearly. As soon as the words fell, the blood-stained long sword in Yu Wenkang's hand suddenly rose horizontally and slashed hard at his neck.

"Don't"

The general beside Yu Wenkang exclaimed, but he could only watch a red blood arrow on Yu Wenkang's neck shoot out, and all that remained in his gradually dissipated eyes was relief and a trace of regret.

"Soldiers, let's fight for the prince for the last time, kill!" The general slowly lowered Yu Wenkang's body to the ground with a sad face, and then slowly stood up, raising his long sword at the morning light, and the cold blade of the sword flashed with repeated lights.

"Kill!"

All the rebels roared in a low voice and rushed towards Yuwen Shenju with their troops. Rather than kneeling and begging, it is better to die on the spot, although the outcome of this backwater battle is doomed to failure, but the hot blood of the soldiers should also be sprinkled on the battlefield.

"Kill!" Yuwen Shenju waved his arm gently, and the archers who had been eyeing him behind him immediately loosened their strings, and in the overwhelming rain of arrows, the rebels who rushed forward fell in pieces, and the blood quickly dyed the river embankment red, slowly blending into the Yellow River, the color became lighter and lighter, and finally disappeared.

On November 27, when the traitors Yuwenkang and Yuwenliang were beheaded, and Yuwenyong's edict was read out on the Jinluan Hall of the Chang'an Imperial Palace, the crown prince Yuwen finally got his wish and ascended to the throne he coveted and became the controller of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Feng Yuwen Xiaobo is the Tianguan Grandmaster (Director of Imperial Affairs), Siwei Shangfu (Commander-in-Chief of the Taigong Guard), in charge of all the Praetorian Guards inside and outside the palace, and is crowned as the Tai Lieutenant, and now this position falls on the head of Yuwen Shen, and Chen Wang Yuwenchun, who withdrew to Chang'an, was promoted to Taishi, and Zhao Wang Yuwen was recruited as Taifu.

Among the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, except for Yuwen Yong, the most prestigious and talented is Yu Wenxian, the king of Qi, but his whereabouts in the Eastern Expedition are unknown, and he has not returned, which is good news for Yuwen. Otherwise, Yu Wenxian is like a fish in his throat for him, and he is the biggest threat to the imperial power, and he will not be unhappy.

Yang Jian risked death to save him this time, and sent Yuwen Yong's edict in time, which won Yuwen's favor, and Zheng Yi said behind his back, and was finally crowned as the general of Shangzhu Guoda, which is the highest level of military generals, which shows the weight of the reward.

Yuwen Chao and others overstepped the ranks, Feng Zheng translated as Duke Wei, promoted to Kaifu Yitong General (Rank 6), Chunguan Neishi Zhongfu (Secretary of the Ministry of Education and Deputy Director), and presided over the work of the government with full authority.

On December 15, after the funeral of Yuwen Yong, who was called Emperor Wu and the temple name Gaozu, Yuwen issued an edict ordering the officials of the whole country, as well as himself and the men and women in the palace to take off their filial piety clothes and wear regular clothes instead. Yuwen Xiaobo advised him several times, but Yuwen ignored it.

When everything was over and Yuwen really took control of the Northern Zhou, his despicable nature erupted like a volcano, lavish and wanted, and as soon as Yuwen Yong was buried, he inspected Yuwen Yong's harem and ordered them to go to bed for his entertainment. Is there a difference between such behavior and neighbor Cushman & Wakefield?

If the Northern Qi Dynasty is in such a turbulent state today that it is because the Gao clan are all perverts, then Yuwen Yong added a throne and handed it over to Yuwen to make the prosperity of the Northern Zhou Dynasty gradually strange.

Yuwen Yong has a great talent in his life, but he is very similar to Sima Yan, the founding king of the Western Jin Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, the difference is that Sima Yan's successor Sima Zhen is an idiot, while Yuwen is a ruffian and a hooligan. Theoretically, an idiot can still become a wise monarch if he is properly assisted, but even God is helpless when a ruffian appears.

Sima Yan has a younger brother to pass on but not to pass on, maybe he doesn't dare to take risks, but Yuwen Yong clearly knows that the eldest son has no virtue and no talent, and the remaining son is also embarrassed to take on the big responsibility, so he should pass on the Yu clan brothers, such as the beginning of the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is generally the brother and the last brother, there is a precedent, why not use it, only the eight-character ear: the heavier the selfishness, the deeper the ignorance.

Throughout Yu Wenyong's life, he fought in the east and west, invincible, when he knew people, but when he was dying, he made such a mistake, and he was also fatal? It was he who single-handedly pushed the Northern Zhou Dynasty to glory, and it was he who brought the Northern Zhou into the quagmire. If he didn't discipline his son with corporal punishment, maybe it would be very different from the Northern Zhou in history and the Northern Zhou in today.

While the Northern Zhou was going all out to alternate, their neighbor Northern Qi was doing the same. When Gao Yanzong knew that his desire to save Rencheng King Gao was shattered, he completely gave up struggling.

Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Quartet was undecided, and the people's hearts were fluctuating, but Gao Changgong did not force Gao Yanzong to abdicate, but asked him to issue an edict to crown himself as the regent, as the great Sima, to supervise the Chinese and foreign military, and to lead the military and political power of the whole country.

Coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, although Gao Changgong still failed to really control the soldiers and horses of the country, but with nearly 300,000 elite soldiers in his hands, coupled with Wang Lin's support, it was easy to deal with Gao Yanzong and Gao Wei, who lacked major generals. Moreover, compared with Gao Yanzong and Gao Wei, Gao Changgong is generous and benevolent, and his reputation is recited all over the world, and he is in charge, and the people are naturally happy.

In the winter of 576 A.D., Xu Shi finally defeated the invading enemy army, and even God celebrated it, the first heavy snow turned into a square and the second snow fell again, painting the entire northern land with a layer of white color, as if to wash away the wounds of the war.

Ruixue Trillion Year. Although the weather is colder, the hearts of the people are warm. There is no war, no natural disasters, their lives can have the most basic security, on the vast snowfield, in the wind and snow, the two riders one after the other slowly walk, they are all wearing thin white clothes, but from their calm faces, there is no cold feeling.

The two of them, a man and a woman, are extremely handsome, but they look like they are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, but unlike the man who always has a gentle smile, the woman's face is cold, her brows are frowning from time to time, and a melancholy occasionally flashes in her beautiful eyes, and I don't know what to think about.

"Gao Gongzi, what tricks do you want to play, if you continue like this, when will you be able to go to Huaizhou?"

These two people are happy and Wu Zhao. After stabilizing Jinyang, Xing Xing left Jinyang with Wu Zhao and went south without a single soldier. Because of his sister, Wu Zhao has always behaved very well, and he has not been hostile to Happy anymore, and he didn't even pay much attention to Zhang Mingkang, who is a noble person in the Moon Worship Sect.

However, after leaving Jinyang, she was happy to believe in the reins along the way, and did not speed up the journey, which made Wu Zhao very strange, and she could hold it at first, but ten days later, Huaizhou was still far away, and she couldn't help but be irritable.

"After all this time, why hasn't the Lunatic Cult appeared yet, don't they care about the safety of you, the young sect leader?" Happy didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his deep eyes quietly looked at Wu Zhao's delicate pretty face. Whenever I see her, I will think of the gentle person at home, and my heart will be warm.

Wu Zhao's eyes froze, his whole body tightened, and then he relaxed, frowning, and said: "A mere sect leader is nothing, not to mention that I haven't really succeeded to the position of sect leader." However, according to Gao Gongzi's martial arts, are you still afraid of the Lunatic Cult? Perhaps because of the defeat at the hands of Happy, Wu Zhao's tone was always a little resentful.

"No matter how high your martial arts are, you are still a human after all." Happy shook his head and sighed.

Wu Zhao chuckled a rare chuckle when he heard this, as if he agreed or not. He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "In your opinion, the Lunatic Sect's hundreds of years of foundation may be better than me?" ”

"Force does not represent everything, and it is always easier to fight the world than to rule the world." Wu Zhao is plausible and authentic.

Nodding happily and approvingly, seeing that Wu Zhao was unwilling to continue, he also gave up the idea of asking her, shook the reins of his horse and sped forward, the direction was not Huaizhou in the southeast, but Luozhou in the southwest.

Although in several battles with the Lunatic Cult, Happy was in the upper hand, and he always thought that the Lunatic Cult was nothing more than that, but when he fought with Wu Zhao, Happy was gone. Zhang Rong has served as the leader of the Lunatic Cult for far more time than Wu Zhao, but when it comes to martial arts, she is far inferior to the latter, and her power seems to be too small, which makes Xing very strange, what is the strength of the Lunatic Cult?
