It is indeed Pei Cuiyun, surrounded by a large group of Zheng soldiers with thick waists and round shoulders, Pei Cuiyun, who has already lost a lot of weight, looks even thinner, the thin prison clothes under the hemp rope are old and a little dirty, the hair is messy, and the silk is scattered on the thin cheeks, which sets off Pei Cuiyun's distracted face more and more pitiful.

Or when Chen Fuliang's familiar figure appeared in the distance outside the city, Pei Cuiyun's blank and empty eyes swelled with a hint of brilliance, but Wang Shichong and Wang Shiyun's father and son on the other side were smiling together, and Wang Ren, who hated Chen Fuliang the most in the old Wang family, couldn't wait to shout: "His Royal Highness King Tang, do you see it?" Your woman is also your savior, Pei Cuiyun! Yes, there is! ”

Seeing Pei Cuiyun who had sworn an alliance with him from a distance, Chen Fuliang wanted to rush forward desperately and carefully see his lover's current situation, but no one stopped him, Chen Fuliang was already very calm and stood outside the range of the bow and arrow at the head of the city, and shouted: "Cuiyun!" ”

Pei Cuiyun's eyes flashed again, his lips moved slightly, but the luster in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he hung his head lower, on the other side, Wang Shichong smiled and shouted loudly: "Virtuous son-in-law, come and take a closer look at her, father-in-law, I won't let people release arrows, come and see her current appearance, she is your lover Pei Cuiyun!" The old man knows that eight years ago, she almost became your wife, but because of all kinds of mistakes, you have never been able to get together! But you have always been devoted to each other, she not only saved your life, but also volunteered to be a concubine for you regardless of her identity, and she has a deep affection for you! It's been a long time since you've seen each other, so come and see her! ”

Chen Fuliang was not fooled, and he also knew that once he stepped forward, with Wang Shichong's insidious cunning, he would definitely order the hidden marksman to snipe him with arrows, and let himself lie down at the last moment before victory! Chen Yingliang just pointed at Wang Shichong with a horsewhip, and asked loudly: "Old horseman, don't talk nonsense!" What the hell do you want to do when you bring her up? ”

"It's very simple, the old man wants to make a deal with you!" Wang Shichong smiled very happily and said loudly: "You just need to let your people stop opening the road, lift the siege, and let the old man lead the army away!" Then the old man not only gave Luoyang to you, but after leaving Henan County, the old man will also return Pei Cuiyun to you intact with both hands, so that you can do good things in pairs, and lovers will eventually become dependents! ”

"Dreaming!" Chen Fuliang categorically refused, and shouted: "Hand over Cuiyun, lay down your arms and surrender to Kaicheng, this king will pardon you from death!" This is the king's biggest concession to you! ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, don't be so stubborn!" Wang Shichong smiled and said loudly: "The old man's conditions are already very sincere, aren't you most afraid of fighting a tough battle?" The old man will hand over the Luoyang Imperial City and the palace city to you together! Don't you like this Pei Cuiyun very much? The old man returned her to you in good condition, what else are you going to do? If you still want the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk in the imperial city, our son-in-law can also discuss, why do you have to be stubborn? Think about it, old man's good son-in-law! ”

"If you're stubborn to the end, then ......!"

Wang Ren suddenly grabbed Pei Cuiyun's hair, dragged Pei Cuiyun to his side, and said with a hideous laugh: "Then cousin-in-law, I'm sorry!" I've wanted to taste her, I'm going to taste her in front of you, and then I'm going to let all my warriors taste her! Cousin-in-law, think about it! ”

The soldiers of the Sui army under the city roared angrily, Wang Ren and many Zheng soldiers laughed lewdly at the top of the city, but Chen Fuliang was silent and expressionless. After another moment, Wang Shichong shouted loudly again: "Virtuous son-in-law, have you thought about it carefully?" When the old man left Luoyang, he left you half of the treasure cloth in the palace city, such generous conditions, is it enough? ”

The scene was quiet again, everyone was waiting for Chen Fuliang's answer, Chen Fuliang finally spoke, and said loudly: "Cuiyun, our first meeting was on the tenth day of October in the ninth year of the Great Cause, and it has been almost eight years now, in these eight years, a lot of things have happened among us, and a lot of things have happened in the world, a group of thieves have risen together, the flames of war have been smoked, countless lives have been poisoned by the war, and millions of men, women, and children have died innocently!" In the past eight years, I have also taken my soldiers to run around, south to the Huai River, north to the desert, east to the coast of the sea, west to the Tianshan Mountains and Yumen, tens of thousands of miles, thousands of battles! Countless soldiers threw their heads, spilled blood, died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shrouded ......"

Speaking of this loudly, Chen Fuliang shed tears, choked up and said loudly: "Why do I work so hard, why do the soldiers under my command work so hard?" Why such sacrifices? I? They are here to end this troubled world, so that they and the innocent people of the world can live a peaceful and stable life again! After eight years of fighting, to this day, we have finally seen a ray of light in this troubled world! ”

"Cuiyun! I know that as long as I agree to Wang Shichong's conditions as an old horseman, you can come back! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Fuliang couldn't cry anymore, crying and shouting: "But if I agree to his conditions, the hard work and sacrifice of the soldiers in the past eight years will be in vain, sweat and blood in vain!" Sacrifice in vain, countless parents, wives and children will lose their relatives and pillars of their families in vain! I don't know how long it will take for this troubled world of life like pigs and dogs to end, and hundreds of thousands of millions of people will continue to suffer innocently from the disaster of war, and I don't know when we will be able to live a peaceful life again! So ......, so ....... ”

Crying to this, Chen Fuliang can no longer shout out, the Sui soldiers around Chen Fuliang are all crying, and Pei Cuiyun on the city wall is already in tears, tears are in a row, bit by bit hit the prison clothes. Wang Ren, who was pulling Pei Cuiyun's hair, laughed heartlessly and said loudly: "Touching! That's so touching! Cousin-in-law, in this case, I can taste your woman now! ”

Saying that, Wang Renze also pulled Pei Cuiyun in front of him, stretched out his mouth and kissed Pei Cuiyun's face, but at this time, Pei Cuiyun seized the opportunity to tilt his head slightly, and suddenly bit Wang Renze's throat hard, and still used all his strength to bite hard! Wang Ren was shocked and hurriedly pulled and pushed, trying to push Pei Cuiyun away, but Pei Cuiyun's teeth seemed to have taken root in his throat, and he couldn't break free no matter what, and blood quickly gushed out from the corners of Pei Cuiyun's mouth............

The Zheng soldiers next to him also hurriedly came over to help pull, but even if Pei Cuiyun pulled his feet off the ground, he still couldn't pull Pei Cuiyun's teeth on Wang Renze's throat, Wang Renze's eyes quickly turned white, and Wang Shiyun on the side saw that his son was about to die, so he had no choice but to pull out the knife in his hand, roared, and slashed down with a heavy knife, cutting Pei Cuiyun into two at the waist, and then Pei Cuiyun lost blood and lost his strength, and pulled Pei Cuiyun's teeth off Wang Renze's throat. However, after the teeth left his throat, Wang Ren still had blood gushing from his neck, and his eyes could no longer be closed, gradually losing his vitality.

"Cuiyun ————!"

Pei Cuiyun, who was broken in two at the waist, fell on the head of the city, and heard Chen Fuliang's terrible cry in the distance, Pei Cuiyun's pretty face showed a smile, and he muttered with his last strength: "Chen Lang, we will be husband and wife again in the next life......." ”

…………

Five days later, the main force of the Sui army officially launched an attack on the imperial city of Luoyang, shouting the slogan of ending the troubled times, the soldiers of the Sui army followed one after another, stormed the city for two days and one night, and finally succeeded in climbing the city, Wang Shichong led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to the palace to continue to resist stubbornly, and the soldiers of the Sui army continued to besiege the palace. Countless Luoyang people volunteered to come to help the war, and in just one day, they built a Tushan Fort in the Yuanbi City, the fort was higher than the palace wall, the Sui army's artillery was condescending, constantly bombarding the inside of the palace city, Zheng soldiers had no place to stay, and they slipped down the city wall to surrender to the Sui army.

After another three days, the main force of the Sui army officially launched an attack on the palace, and it took only half a day to attack the city, Zheng soldiers surrendered one after another, Wang Shichong saw that the general trend had gone, and because Chen Fuliang had openly announced that he would not accept the surrender of the members of the Wang family, he gathered the clan to set fire to the Jinluan Palace and died, and the short-lived Zheng State perished. Duan Da, Shan Xiongxin and others died in the chaos, Shan Yingying was rescued by Mulan, and finally understood that Chen Fuliang deceived her out of good intentions.

A month later, Chen Yingliang's class returned to Daxing, and on the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials unanimously demanded that Chen Yingliang accept the Zen position of Emperor Yining Yang Xingji and ascend the throne as emperor. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and others also pointed out to Chen Yingliang that Chen Yingliang had made great contributions to the world, if he did not become the emperor, not only would Chen Yingliang not have any good results in the future, but the civil and military officials under Chen Yingliang would also die without a place to be buried.

In October of the same year, the Southern Liang Emperor Xiao Milling perversely slaughtered the meritorious soldiers, the Tang State took the opportunity to launch the Liang War, Liu Changgong and Pei Xingfang led the Tang Army Naval Division down the river, Chai Shao and the general Zhou Faming also attacked Xiangchu and other places, successively spent more than half a year, and finally conquered the Southern Liang capital Jiangling City, Liang Emperor Xiao Milling surrendered.

In May of the second year of Zhenguan, Du Fuwei, the king of Chu, in order to show his sincerity in returning, took the initiative to hand over the military power to Pei Hongce, the head of the march of the southeast road of the Tang Army, and led the family to Daxing to enter the court as an official. Unexpectedly, only one month later, Fu Gongqi took the opportunity to launch a mutiny, killed Pei Hongce in Danyang, and claimed that the emperor vainly tried to rule the Tang State by dividing the river.

In the same year, Ma Sanbao destroyed Li Rail, Li Keshi destroyed Shen Faxing, and Liang Shidu, who was isolated in Yan'an, refused Chen Yingliang's letter to summon him to enter the court, and secretly colluded with the Western Turks.

In the third year of Zhenguan, Fu Gongqi and Liang Shi were destroyed one after another, and the troubled times gradually ended, leaving only a few small warlords still dying in remote places.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, all the warlords in various places were wiped out, and the world was unified.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, after five years of recuperation and accumulation of strength, Li Jing was ordered to launch a westward expedition, which took more than half a year, successively conquered Gaochang, Qiuci and Tuyuhun and other countries, and pacified the Western Regions.

In the spring of the tenth year of Zhenguan, He Yanyu, the general of the Tang army, led an army of 30,000 to conquer Goguryeo, and Goguryeo raised an army to meet the battle, although it finally repelled the Tang army, but delayed the spring farming time, the grain production was greatly reduced, and there was a grain shortage that year. For five consecutive years, the Tang army launched an attack on Goguryeo in the spring every time, and only invested 20,000 or 30,000 troops each time.

In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Chen Yingliang personally led an army of 200,000 to conquer Goguryeo, played a banner to avenge the revenge of the atomic brothers, and vowed to destroy Goguryeo. The Goguryeo monarchs and ministers laughed when they heard the report, and they all said that there was no need to send troops to meet the battle, and only the cold wind of the eastern monsoon could freeze to death 200,000 Tang troops. However, what shocked the whole country of Goguryeo was that all the soldiers of the Tang army were wearing warm cotton clothes, and they could still fight normally in winter.

In the spring of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Chen Yingliang personally led the Tang army to Pyongyang City, in view of the inability to crack the Tang army's artillery and gunpowder siege tactics, the king of Goguryeo surrendered before the last hour of the third day, Chen Yingliang first disarmed the Goguryeo army, and claimed that Goguryeo killed the Central Plains soldiers and was heinous and unwilling to forgive the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers, and ordered the Goguryeo army to be slaughtered, and the Goguryeo king Gaozang was torn apart and the city was slaughtered! No chickens and dogs in the city!

In the same year, Emperor Chen Yingliang of the Tang Dynasty ordered to build the Lingyan Pavilion, and set up twenty-four portraits of heroes in the pavilion, Li Jing was the first, and Liu Changgong, Liu Heimin and Chai Shao were among them.

In the 20th year of Zhenguan, 80,000 Tang soldiers wearing cotton clothes first launched an attack on Tubo, which took three years and hundreds of battles to finally force Tubo to surrender, and the Tang army entered the plateau, formally exercised sovereignty, and vigorously advocated Taoism and Buddhism, spread the Chinese language, and completely controlled the plateau culturally.

After the news of the surrender of Tubo was sent to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which had been renamed Chang'an, all the officials congratulated the Tang Emperor Chen Yingliang and praised Chen Yingliang's great achievements, but Chen Yingliang smiled and said: "It's not enough, I'm not good enough, I have to do better." ”
