Chapter Twenty-Six: The Destruction of the Eastern Ascension Kingdom
"The so-called siege of the city and the attack on the heart is also the same for the attack on the country! Do you know why I deliberately pretended to spread the rumors and claimed to the outside world that the strength of our army was as high as 300,000?" Huang Puhua asked and replied to himself: "Exert pressure! The people's hearts are the most wonderful! Among them, those who are not strong in mind and are fickle are the most! Dongsheng is not a Chinese country, the people have no sense of belonging, and the ministers are even more vegetarian meals for the corpses of the common people, and most of them think about how to profit from this struggle, how to keep everything they have, and sacrifice themselves for the country.
Xuanyuan Junhou seemed to have figured out something, and his eyes lit up.
"Dongsheng Kingdom once united with the temple to plot to disrupt our Huaxia, and now, it's time for them to taste this taste!" Huang Puhua's eyes flashed with coldness.
If we can succeed and recover the eastern border, it will be a good thing for the country and the people!" Cheng Ying was overjoyed.
"However, if this plan is to succeed, our army needs a few soldiers to infiltrate the royal city and secretly communicate with the courtiers to cause trouble. β
Cheng Ying quickly got up and saluted: "Sir, Cheng Ying is willing to lead several soldiers into the royal city." β
"Cheng Dujun, you have thought clearly! If you fail this time, your life will definitely not be guaranteed!" Huang Puhua kindly reminded.
If Cheng hadn't been promoted by the commander in general, how could he be today! If he could have been able to exchange for the peaceful people of the kingdom to live and work in peace and contentment, what would it matter if he died! Mr. rest assured! Cheng had grown up in the royal city since he was a child, and he knew a little about the temperament of the ministers in the city, and he even had some close friends appointed important positions in the city, so he was the most suitable person for this trip. β
"That's right. Xuanyuan Junhou quickly got up and saluted Cheng Ying: "There is Lao Cheng Overseer!"
Cheng Ying hurriedly returned the salute: "The general doesn't have to be like this, this is Cheng Ying's duty." β
"Okay! Hua wishes Cheng Governor a successful victory!" Huangpu Hua drew an end to the meeting.
Huaxia, the royal capital.
Li Yueli silently helped Ye Gucheng take off his coat and gently put on the medicine.
Ye Gucheng hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "The lady doesn't have anything to ask her husband?"
"The husband acts, he has his own husband's reason, Yueli is inconvenient to say more, Yueli just hopes that the husband can put the kingdom first and think more about Hongchen!"
Ye Gucheng looked at the woman who was buried in her chest to change the dressing, and said slowly: "Does the lady think that her husband wants to attack Nansheng Kingdom for personal revenge?"
Li Yueli's hand wiping the medicine stiffened slightly, and then, she continued to wipe it as if nothing happened, and whispered: "Husband is too worried!"
"Once, I thought of raising the power of China and waving my army to the north to level the Nansheng Kingdom, because, my beloved woman, my subordinates, the women I owe, they all died at the hands of thieves, and that thief is the current ruler of the Nansheng Kingdom!" Ye Gucheng remembered the past, and gradually said with tears in his eyes: "The lady should not have seen me before! At that time, I was naΓ―ve and stupid! I always felt that people should not kill people! That is the barbarism that destroys conscience, until I gradually see the truth and see the world clearly!" I don't like this kind of world, and I want to destroy it countless times!"
Li Yueli suddenly felt so distressed, she couldn't help but press her chest lightly, and said softly: "Yueli believes that her husband is not that kind of person!
Ye Gucheng suddenly felt moved, hugged Li Yueli tightly and said: "Thank you, lady! Because of you, I have slowly turned back into myself, although I have long been unrecognizable! But please believe me, this time I decided to attack Nansheng Kingdom because of personal enmity, on the contrary, I am for the kingdom, why Hongchen." β
Li Yueli was stunned, slowly broke away from her embrace, and looked at Ye Gucheng deeply.
"Tuoba Jing is the most scheming and fierce person I have ever met! For the sake of the goal, he will do whatever it takes, and his ruthlessness is no worse than mine. Ye Gucheng took a breath and continued to say in a deep voice: "If there is a chance, he will definitely not miss any opportunity to destroy Huaxia, because in his heart, I, Ye Gucheng will always be a threat, the stronger Huaxia is, the more afraid he is, even if one day I die of old age, as long as Huaxia is strong, he will definitely destroy it." β
"What will happen to Hongchen in the future, I don't know! However, as long as I, Ye Gucheng, am still alive, I will not allow anyone to harm you, even if the strength of the whole country is exhausted, I will not hesitate to do it. β
"Kefujun, have you ever thought about it! It is not appropriate to start a war at this time! The so-called external must first settle the interior, now the kingdom is in external troubles and internal troubles, the war between the East Ascension Kingdom and the Northern Underworld Kingdom has not yet been settled, the kingdom has not yet been unified, and the soldiers have long been exhausted. Although Li Yueli was moved by Ye Gucheng's affection, she still chose to speak when it was time to speak.
"Why don't you know for your husband!" Ye Gucheng sighed lightly, and then muttered: "However, now is the best time to plan an attack on Nansheng Kingdom, the whole country is united in hatred of the enemy, and the fighting spirit is high, besides, I also have Ying Long and Yue'er to help." β
"Yue'er?" Li Yueli was taken aback, and said hurriedly: "Husband wants Yue'er to go with the army?"
"Lady!" Ye Gucheng looked at Li Yueli deeply and said: "I used to naively think that locking Yue'er in the deep palace was to protect her! Actually, we were all wrong! Yue'er must grow up after all, and she must know right from wrong and know right and wrong, otherwise, she can only live in the fantasy world! Once she finds out that all this is different from what she imagined, she will resist rejection! Just like how she did not long ago! This is very dangerous, if one day even I can't control her, with her power to destroy the world, how can the kingdom withstand it?"
"But you don't have to take Yue'er on the expedition!"
"I need her!" Ye Gucheng smiled bitterly and said slowly: "I admit that I am very selfish, but if there is no Yue'er, I have no chance of winning the attack on Nansheng Kingdom!"
Li Yueli was silent!
Dongsheng country.
The moonlight shone on the high wall and flowed slowly.
The dull pace broke through the silence, and a group of more than 100 guards appeared on the city wall.
"Overseer Huang, what is this?" The Overseer's eyes flashed with confusion.
Huang Peihuan responded with a smile: "Inspector Chen, General Li ordered us to take over the defense. β
"Why did General Li let Overseer Huang take over the defense at this time? Why didn't I receive the order?"
"Presumably General Li was entangled in military affairs and did not issue it in time, don't worry! Brother will not harm you!"
The overseer guarding the city thought for a while, and said to the guards on the side: "Go, confirm with General Li." β
Hearing this, Huang Peihuan flashed coldly, and roared: "Take it." β
More than 100 guards quickly brought the surrounding defenders under control, and of course, the Overseers were the first to be stabbed by the neck.
The sudden change caused the guards in the distance to quickly turn around.
"Huang Peihuan, do you dare to rebel?" The city defender's face was flushed, of course, he was not worried that the other party would be able to escape, after all, in terms of numbers, the defenders were far more than this group of rebels.
"Chen Dujun, I have no choice but to do it, please forgive me. Huang Peihuan bowed deeply, and immediately, looked around and said: "Soldiers, the kingdom has no way, the people are not living, now the Chinese army has arrived, the fall of the royal city is a matter of time, now put down the sword in your hands, that is, the Chinese soldiers, the country of China is the country of benevolence and righteousness today, regardless of the noble and lowly, everyone is promoted by military merits, every family is well fed, clothed and warm, and there is land to cultivate, soldiers, think about your wives and children at home, think about the family members who are separated from China, it's time to end this senseless war!"
Hundreds of soldiers looked at each other, but none of them dropped their blades.
Huang Peihuan naturally knew what the soldiers were worried about, and he didn't continue to persuade him, in fact, as long as these soldiers didn't blow the alarm to cause the city to be alerted, it was enough!
According to the agreement, Huang Peihuan threw the torch into the city.
The gates slowly opened.
Xuanyuan Junhou looked at the torches shaking at the city gate from a distance, his expression perked up, and he said loudly: "Enter the city." β
In the darkness, the army quickly marched towards the city gates.
The hesitant defenders saw the Chinese army rushing to the city wall, and finally discarded their weapons with interest.
The sound of fighting finally sounded in the city, but it soon died out in the torrent.
Palace.
The king of the Dongsheng Kingdom was lying on the dragon couch with angry eyes, a distinct knife mark on his neck, blood spilling down the wound, and a minister holding a knife and a full palace guard on the side.
When the morning light shone on the earth, the battle in the royal city also came to an end.
On the street, a group of ragged city dwellers slowly walked to the square under the drive of soldiers, most of whom lived at the lowest level, perhaps numb, but did not cause much panic.
The Marquis of Xuanyuan stepped on the high platform covered with blood, looked around, and said in a loud voice: "People of China! You are safe! After that, there will be no more wars in the kingdom, and from now on, every family will have one land for labor. β
Panic was quickly replaced by ecstasy, and the people bowed down in excitement.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Junhou took a deep breath and shouted again: "Open the warehouse and release the grain." β
Huaxia, the royal capital.
Ye Gucheng looked at the good news from Dongsheng Kingdom with joy, and said loudly: "Okay! Xuanyuan Junhou really lived up to the trust of his commander, and 10,000 troops took the eastern border. β
"Congratulations to the commander, congratulations to the commander, the unification of the east!"
"Lishangshu, this difference should be celebrated by the whole country!"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes!
"This is the good fortune of the commander, the good fortune of the kingdom!"
The courtiers were rarely in harmony and happy, and they were all excited, and the officials of the Xuanyuan clan were even more honored, and after that, who dared to say that their Xuanyuan clan was all reckless.
"Order, Eastern affairs, Xuanyuan military marquis has full authority to dispose of no need to ask for a decree, on the day the army returns to the capital, the generals will be rewarded in turn. "Ye Gucheng is indeed very happy, the kingdom needs this big victory more than ever.
However, in the ears of many courtiers, they frowned, the Xuanyuan clan was already powerful, and now there is another Xuanyuan military marquis, I am afraid that no one will shake its status.
"The commander thinks twice!" A civil official came out of the ranks, and said loudly: "There is a precept in ancient times, the etiquette of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, and the recovery and return of the eastern border is a state affair, how can you not ask the king to be in charge of a martial artist, you must know that the way of governing the country is different from leading troops to fight, and the minister thinks that it is γγγγγγ β
Ben Shuai thought. Ye Gucheng's expression was cold, and he stared at the civil official tightly and said: "Taiwei Li is reasonable, it's better to do this, Ben Shuai will give you 20,000 troops, how about you capture a country for Ben Shuai?"
The civil official was speechless.
"If you can't do it, just stay there. Ye Gucheng's good mood was ruined all of a sudden, and he said angrily: "The soldiers shed blood for the country, is it possible to make them cry? Ben Shuai tells you that Ben Shuai trusts Xuanyuan Junhou, Ben Shuai not only wants to give him an official and a knight, but also gives him privileges, and if he is not satisfied, he will stand up and tell Ben Shuai that you can also take a country with 10,000 troops." β
The courtiers were silent in the face of the angry eyes.
"Retreat. Ye Gucheng waved his hand and left angrily.
