Chapter 544: Murong Sanzang
Chapter 544 Murong Sanzang's Yecheng Palace tonight was brightly lit, this palace group built with the power of the Northern Qi Kingdom was as brilliant as ever, but at this time there was a depressing and unusual atmosphere. Unlike the guests of the Gao Wei banquet in the past, who were wanton and happy, tonight he was pacing back and forth in the Jinluan Palace, his face anxious and irritable.
"Gao Xiaoheng, a cheap species, dare to rebel against me?" Gao Wei kicked on the simple-looking and exquisitely made incense burner in front of him, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, his pale face distorted and hideous, his eyes were bloodshot, flashing with crazy killing intent.
"Bump!"
The incense burner shook slightly, but it still stood firmly on the ground, and white smoke wafted from the top of the stove, slowly drifting towards the dome, unaffected, as if it was a mockery of Gao Wei's weakness and weakness.
Gao Xiaoheng suddenly sent troops from south to north in Yecheng, which caught Gao Wei, who originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, surprised, shocked and angry, and the handwritten letter of persuasion sent by Gao Xiaoheng at noon directly made him angry.
Gao Yanzong once spread the word to the world, counted his top ten crimes of Gao Wei, and gave him the title of Emperor Yang, and now Gao Xiaoheng has done the same thing, but it makes Gao Wei even more angry and resentful. You must know that if it weren't for his Gao Wei's authorization, Gao Xiaoheng would just be an empty shell prince, where would he have the right to soldier, but he didn't want Gao Xiaoheng to show his wolf ambition if he got the military power. It is not so much anger and hatred as regret and remorse.
"Even you want to fight against me?" Gao Wei's eyes widened angrily, the corners of his neck and eyes jumped violently, he looked at the incense burner in front of him viciously, and shouted angrily: "Come on, knock this eye-catching thing into powder for me, I don't want to see it again!" ”
The warriors in the hall did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly swarmed up, and with the chaotic sound of "clanging", the incense burner that looked at its shape and knew that it was expensive was smashed to pieces.
Looking at the smashed incense burner, Gao Wei had a cruel smile on his face, condescendingly glanced at the civil and military officials standing under His Highness, and said coldly: "All those who dare to oppose me will tear him apart!" Gao Yanzong, Gao Changgong, Gao Xiaoheng, they all have to die, they all have to die! ”
His Royal Highness, everyone was suddenly silent, stood with their heads down, and didn't even dare to look at Gao Wei.
"The Emperor Shengming!" Han Changluan hurriedly said loudly: "The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, blessed by heaven and earth, why should a mere rebel worry about it?" We are all willing to fight for the traitors for Your Majesty, and we will do our best to die! ”
"Han Aiqing's patriotic heart is very gratifying." Gao Wei looked at Han Changluan, his face was a little pale, "But I don't know if Han Aiqing has a good way to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Han Changluan raised his eyebrows, was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, then Han Changluan committed a crime, morality does not exist, heaven does not allow it, the people in the city must have a grudge against him, as long as Your Majesty orders conscription, you can collect 100,000 troops in an instant, relying on the thick walls of Yecheng City, don't say that Gao Xiaoheng only has 50,000 troops, even if there are more than 100,000, he can only return in vain!" ”
"That's very good, Han Aiqing, I will order you to recruit troops overnight, and within three days, I will see 100,000 troops!" After a pause, Gao Wei said murderously: "Three days later, I will personally lead an army of 100,000 out of the city to defeat Gao Xiaoheng, and I will personally take his dog's head!" ”
"Your Majesty, wait!" Han Changluan was about to agree, but a deep voice sounded, but it was dressed in military uniform, and the burly Murong Sanzang came out of the crowd, looked at Gao Wei with a serious and solemn face, and said: "Your Majesty, although what Lord Han said is reasonable, there is something inappropriate. ”
"What's wrong?" Gao Wei's brows suddenly stood up, like two sharp swords, and his blood-colored eyes stared at Murong Sanzang deadly, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was undisguised.
Murong Sanzang took a deep breath, and then said heavily: "Your Majesty, after months of conquest and several conscriptions, Yecheng Qingzhuang is now ten to five or six, if you recruit 100,000 soldiers at a time, I am afraid that you can't, and if you are not careful, it will cause a civil uprising in the city, if the enemy comes to attack, the consequences are unpredictable!" ”
"Alarmist!" Before Han Changluan could refute, Gao Anaqiu, who was in the same position as him, sneered and refuted with disdain: "How can the people of the mountains and villages be so reasonable, how dare they disobey His Majesty's will?" Besides, unarmed, even if they are dissatisfied, what can they do?! ”
Gao Anaqi's voice fell, and Han Changluan sneered and said, "General Murong is worried about the people's upheaval, but Weichen has a slap to tell them to obey their orders. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the hall immediately turned their eyes on Han Changluan. Han Changluan smiled confidently, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he said eloquently: "The common people are timid and cowardly, so they don't have to be afraid, but the rich merchants in the city have to guard against it.
Your Majesty can order the close relatives of wealthy merchants to be imprisoned on the Tongque Terrace, if they do not do their best to recruit samurai for Your Majesty and fight against the enemy, or if they have two hearts, Your Majesty can kill them and eradicate dissidents, so as not to cause endless disasters in the future! ”
"That's a brilliant plan! Tongque Terrace is tall and solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as there is a tiger general guarding it will be able to guarantee that it is safe, who else in the city dares to disobey his fate?! ”
Gao Anaqiu immediately smiled and echoed when he heard this. All the people in the temple also bowed their heads one after another, and their faces were full of joy. They rely on Gao Wei to be rich and glorious, if Yecheng is broken, their own fate is unknown, because in the matter of protecting the safety of Yecheng, everyone is unprecedentedly unanimous, and Hu Lu Xiaoqing, who is a little jealous of Han Changluan and other three noble favorites, is no exception. However, there is one exception among them, and that is Murong Sanzang.
Murong Sanzang has the lofty status he has today by virtue of his meritorious deeds, but Sangui is completely Gao Wei's favor, not to mention that he has no half benefit to the country and the people, and it is the source of the country's troubles. is to Han Changluan and other three nobles, Murong Sanzang is very angry in his heart, and even thinks that the reason why Gao Wei has been defeated again and again, and is so stupid, is largely because he listened to the villain's words.
Now, in such a crisis situation, Han Changluan actually came up with another poisonous plan, and Murong Sanzang was both angry and disappointed in his heart.
Yecheng seems to be prosperous, but in fact, it has long been a strong outsider. Gao Wei's wanton profligacy and repeated battles have already made Yecheng an empty shell. Now Cushman & Wakefield does not want to appease the people, but instead acts violently, which can only provoke the people to resist fiercely, and in the end it will suffer its own bitter consequences.
Originally, Murong Sanzang still had a glimmer of hope for Gao Wei, hoping that he could cheer up from now on, sweep away the decline, and make great efforts, but unexpectedly, in the past few months, Gao Wei has intensified, profligate, tyrannical and arrogant, and the crimes are outrageous, and Murong Sanzang's fiery heart has gradually cooled down, and he is sad.
Just when Murong Sanzang wanted to persuade again, he heard Gao Wei say loudly: "My intention has been decided, just according to what Han Aiqing said." Murong Sanzang, I will hand over the duty of guarding the Tongque Terrace to you, if something goes wrong, come and see you! ”
"Yes!" Murong Sanzang was stunned, and then replied respectfully, as that word fell, the fire in his heart was instantly extinguished, and even the full battle intent on his body disappeared in an instant.
He originally wanted to lead the army out of the city to fight with Gao Xiaoheng vigorously, even if he died on the battlefield, he had no regrets, and lived up to his ambition to serve the country loyally in this life, but he didn't want Gao Wei to give him the shameful task of taking hostages.
"Maybe I'm really wrong, this emperor, the existence of this country is wrong!" Leaving the Jinluan Palace, Murong Sanzang looked at the dark night sky and sighed.
Leaving the palace, Murong Sanzang was about to walk towards the barracks, when his ears suddenly moved, and he suddenly stopped, and his face instantly became serious. Just as Murong Sanzang was about to listen carefully, he suddenly heard a loud sound of landslides cracking from the south of Yecheng, and then he felt the earth shake violently.
……
Under the happy order, 50,000 elite soldiers dressed in red clothes and holding white belts on their arms marched towards Yecheng in a neat procession. There were no heart-rending, earth-shattering cries, no long dragons of torches that could illuminate the night, as many as stars, stretching for miles, but only dull and hurried but uniform footsteps.
Happy is still the spotless white clothes, his face is sinking like water, taking the lead, walking at the forefront of the team. As if sensing the surging killing intent and anger in his heart, the sweaty BMW draped under his crotch looked extremely excited, and his four hooves were flying, as fast as the wind, and the speed was one point faster than usual.
In half a day, he traveled more than 1,000 miles between Qingzhou City and Yecheng, and ran a full twenty healthy horses, but there was no trace of fatigue on his face, and the blood in his eyes became more and more intense.
In the blink of an eye, the happy figure disappeared into the night, leaving the 50,000-strong army far behind. Looking at his back as he was gone, Lu Zhishen sighed in his heart, and felt a little chill in his heart. Although he didn't know what was happening, he could feel the awe-inspiring killing intent in his body. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, a night of killing.
When he came to the south gate of Yecheng for hundreds of meters, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the night, like a ghost, fluttering without making a sound.
"Childe!"
"Zero One, are you ready?" Xing Yaoyao looked at the flickering torches on the head of Yecheng City, his eyes became more and more hot, and the killing intent emanating from his body became more intense, and he could hardly suppress it anymore.
"Just wait for Childe's order!" The Dragon Soul Leader replied respectfully. This time, the first time he used the Dragon Soul Squad, he wanted to rush into Yecheng as quickly as possible and wipe out all the forces that dared to resist.
"Okay." Happy took a deep breath, suddenly pulled out the steel knife on the saddle, and said in a deep voice: "The action begins!" ”
Zero One got the order, his feet staggered, his body shot out like a sharp arrow, and he ran towards Yecheng tightly on the ground, his agile and swift figure was no less than that of a tanuki.
After about ten breaths, there was a sudden "hissing" sound under the south gate of Yecheng, and dazzling sparks flashed in the shadows.
"Boom-"
