Chapter 40: Unification of the South

This fight lasted all day.

The combat effectiveness of the Huaxia New Army was also fully demonstrated, and at the cost of sacrificing more than 100,000 yuan, more than 200,000 enemy troops were beheaded and tens of thousands were captured.

Southern Heavenly Kingdom.

In the main hall, King Nan sat on the throne with a bang.

"The king, the Chinese army is now driving straight in, and has successively broken through several cities in our country, and the generals will come to the city in a few days, and please ask the king to quickly deploy troops to fortify the defense. A civil servant bowed in a panic.

Troop transfer!

King Nan showed a smile that was even more ugly than crying, where are the soldiers and horses available in the current Southern Heavenly Kingdom, and besides, how can the only remaining soldiers and horses resist the menacing Chinese army!

As if dying, King Nan stared at the generals in the hall and said loudly: "Who can lead the troops to retreat from the enemy, this king will make him the general of the country." ”

None of the generals dared to squeak.

Faced with this scene, King Nan roared in despair: "Who?"

The general's head was buried even lower in an instant.

"Is it over! Is the Southern Heavenly Kingdom completely finished?" Nanwang muttered and fainted.

The temple was in chaos.

Licheng, the capital of the kings of the southern heavens.

The soldiers defending the city stared nervously at the boundless Chinese army outside the city, the defenders of the city were only tens of thousands, and the rest were ordinary people.

Ye Gucheng stepped up from the dragon, stared coldly at the defenders opposite, and said in a loud voice: "The southern border, originally the land of China, now, the territory is unified, you put down your weapons, that is, you are the subjects of China, and the officials will not move their original positions, otherwise, they will be punished for treason, and on the day of the city, they will be raided and exterminated." ”

For Ye Gucheng, the defenders have also heard of it, it is true that they are cruel and unkind, and it is true that they will do what they say, they stick to the city in order to protect their families in the city, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that Licheng can't hold it!

"My lord, surrender!" the deputy general began to advise: "Ye Gucheng marched all the way, and he did not commit any crimes with the people, not like tyrannical people, besides, we have no choice!"

"Shut up!" the general defending the city was furious and scolded: "How can there be soldiers in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom who surrender without a fight, and someone will come to push down this traitor who has troubled the army's heart and behead him." ”

The strange thing is that the soldiers around him seem to be unmoved.

"You ... The guard's face changed suddenly.

"My lord, I'm sorry!" the lieutenant general finished speaking, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the opponent's heart.

"You... The guard pointed angrily at the lieutenant general, and immediately fell to the ground without being able to do so.

Ye Gucheng watched this scene coldly, and slowly lowered the golden dragon.

"Open the gates, abandon your weapons and surrender!"

As the adjutant general shouted, the soldiers opened the city gates, discarded their weapons one after another, and knelt in a ball.

Ye Gucheng waved his hand and led the army towards the city, and when he passed by the deputy general, he said indifferently: "From now on, you are the defender of Licheng." ”

The deputy general was overjoyed and knelt down to bow down.

If it was in the past, Ye Gucheng would definitely kill the deputy general, and if he could sell the lord for glory, his loyalty would not be high, but now he needs to stabilize the morale of the army, and kill the meritorious generals, which is not conducive to the rule, and he is even more afraid of causing a mutiny.

Licheng fell, officials fled in panic, and the king of the south disguised himself as a civilian and wanted to escape from Licheng, but he didn't want to be recognized by the soldiers defending the city and arrested.

"King Nan!" Ye Gucheng looked at the gray-faced man in front of him, smiled toothily, and said slowly: "How can you be so rude to the king, and invite the king back to the palace quickly." ”

The guards received the order and immediately escorted the king of the south to the main hall of the palace.

Only then did King Nan discover that there were hundreds of officials and generals in the main hall.

All the exits in the palace were quickly sealed, and King Nan felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't know what Ye Gucheng wanted to do with them.

On the high platform, Ye Gucheng coldly glanced at the people of Licheng, and said slowly: "Licheng, from now on, it will be a city of Huaxia State, you and others must take Huaxia Law as the only law, and those who break the law are like this palace behind me." ”

The people stared blankly at the tall palace standing in the distance, as if they didn't understand Ye Gucheng's intentions.

"Lightning strike!"

The golden dragon understood, and the dragon groaned and flew towards the center of the palace.

The dark clouds quickly condensed, and darkness enveloped the entire city in an instant.

Panic erupted in the crowd, and the onlookers retreated in fright.

Click-boom!

Thunder fell from the sky, and the entire palace and even the surrounding houses disappeared from view in the blink of an eye.

When the light returned to Licheng, it was in the eyes of everyone, and the majestic palace had become a piece of loess.

At this moment, the eyes of the people looking at Ye Gucheng were full of fear.

And what Ye Gucheng wanted was also this effect, of course, the people around the palace had already been dismissed by him, and the blow of the golden dragon, in addition to destroying the palace, only annihilated the generals and officials in the palace who would rather die than surrender.

In this battle, Ye Gucheng spent several months, and at the cost of more than 200,000 Chinese troops killed and wounded, he unified the southern border, and the national strength of Huaxia was expanded again.

North, North Hades.

On the main hall.

The man on the throne looked horrified and said, "You mean that the Huaxia Kingdom destroyed the Southern Heavenly Kingdom in one battle?

"Enlighten my king, now, the Southern Heavenly Kingdom has become a subordinate city in China, and our country should be vigilant. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Xiang came out of the queue and said in a deep voice, "My king, my Northern Underworld is inferior to Huaxia in terms of military and financial strength. ”

"Yes, Zuo Xiang's words are reasonable. The right minister immediately agreed, and at the same time continued: "In addition, our country is close to the Nansheng continent, so we can send envoys to win over with joint marriage, and if Huaxia Kingdom comes to invade in the future, it can also have an additional guarantee." ”

The king of the north was overjoyed and immediately allowed it.

Just when the whole country of the Northern Underworld was shocked, Ye Gucheng personally led the army to return to the dynasty.

People greeted each other one after another.

In Huaxia, after Ye Gucheng's bloody suppression and forcible promotion of the new law, the people's livelihood economy has risen rapidly, and the scene of the rich alone and the poor without food in the past has long ceased to exist.

It is also because of these factors that the people who were originally afraid and hated Ye Gucheng began to become loved, like soldiers who defended their families and the country, and they also defended their hard-won lives.

The main hall of the royal capital.

Ye Gucheng walked hurriedly, and rushed to the Taihe Hall with an excited expression.

Li Yueli sat on the dresser, and the maid on the side helped her make up, while happily telling something.

"See Commander-in-Chief. ”

Li Yueli listened to the movement coming from outside the hall, her expression perked, and joy flashed quickly in her eyes.

She knew that Ye Gucheng had returned triumphantly, but she didn't expect the other party to return to the inner hall so soon.

According to the convention, Ye Gucheng had to reward the three armies first, and then listen to the officials in the main hall to report on the national situation and deal with national affairs.

However, when he learned that Li Yueli was pregnant, he was overwhelmed with excitement for a while, not only handed over the reward to Xuanyuan Maniac with full authority, but also directly omitted the state affairs, and only ordered Zhang Yi to report uniformly on a certain day, and directly left the civil and military officials behind.

Li Yueli saw Ye Gucheng coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Ye Gucheng held it up, and immediately, he looked at the bulging belly excitedly, thought about it, stretched out his trembling five fingers and stroked it gently.

The strong and powerful beating sound made his heart flutter, this is his child! In this cold world, he finally has a family!

He's going to be a father!

"The doctor said it would take another four or five months for the baby to be born. Li Yueli's voice is rarely gentle, and her face exudes the brilliance of maternal love, which looks extremely beautiful.

Ye Gucheng remembered that Li Yueli was still standing, and hurriedly helped her sit down, picked up a comb, and gently helped her make up. "Yueli, thank you!"

Li Yueli smiled softly, and then said with some concern: "Lonely City, do you like boys or girls?"

Ye Gucheng smiled and said softly: "No matter boys and girls, they are all our children, and I like them all." ”

Hearing this, Li Yueli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little nervous in her heart, she knew that the boy was the only person to inherit the ancestral business of incense, Ye Gucheng was the king of Huaxia Kingdom, and the heir to the throne in the future must be a prince, if it was a princess, I was afraid that her daughter would fall out of favor in the future!

The dinner was held in the Taihe Palace, and after having each other's company, the two of them had a great appetite, and Ye Gucheng frequently sent some nutritious food to Li Yueli's mouth, for fear that it would not be nutritious enough, which made Li Yueli roll her eyes wildly, but of course, her heart was extremely sweet.

Ye Gucheng may not be a good monarch, let alone a good person, and the word brutality is vividly used in him.

But for Li Yueli, she is definitely a competent husband! She has never seen a man love a woman like this, and because of this, her hatred for Ye Gucheng was slowly melted and replaced by attachment.

In the following days, Ye Gucheng was like a spoiled wife and a madman, and after the end of the government, he plunged into the Taihe Palace, accompanying and serving every day.

In order to make Li Yueli happy, she tried her best to tell all kinds of jokes, and even played the role of a clown to make all kinds of funny actions at the expense of her identity.

This scene frightened the servants, but fortunately no officials saw it, otherwise, Li Yueli would have to be infamous again.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, another few months passed, and Li Yueli's smile gradually disappeared as her belly became more and more bulging.

The word prenatal depression seems to have begun to appear in her, and the source of her worry is the gender of the fetal child, she very much hopes to give birth to a boy to Ye Gucheng, but she is worried that it is a girl who is about to be born.

Ye Gucheng saw it in his eyes, and began to feel uneasy in his heart, thinking about it, he decided to take Li Yueli out to play, first, to relax, and second, he also wanted to see the development of various parts of Huaxia.

However, it is not a simple matter to travel with pregnant women, in order to deal with emergencies, doctors, stable women, and slaves have everything, and none of them will be left behind.

In their words, the ruler should sit in the royal city to deal with state affairs, and how can there be a king who abandons state affairs and accompanies a woman!

Besides, Ye Gucheng only brought a few thousand guards on this trip, so it was too hasty to act like this, in case he was assassinated along the way, how would it be good!

The officials did not think that after Ye Gucheng experienced a series of cold-blooded and cruel feats, people would be grateful to him, and they were afraid that more thugs would be eager to eat his flesh and eat his bones.

Ye Gucheng was also domineering, and ended directly with the sentence "This matter has been decided, there is no need to discuss it again".
