Hou Mowu took advantage of the chaos in the market, and had his own set of skills to wipe his eyes and look, leave three points for words, and climb along the pole, and said when he asked: "Weichen originally thought that the serpentine black cloud was born by the pseudo-Han lord Liu Jiyuan. After His Majesty ordered Liu Jiyuan to set off for Bianliang, the black clouds did not disperse, but became clearer. There is also this Liu Jiye's refusal to surrender to the city and invite people to buy people's hearts, it is obvious that the king's spirit should be on this Liu Jiye. ”

Zhao Jiong is not a person who is easy to fool, although Hou Mowu uses clever tongues, he still has a puzzled look on his face, and said suspiciously: "I heard that Liu Jiyuan almost slaughtered the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in order to keep the throne, if Liu Jiye really has a royal spirit, how can Liu Jiyuan tolerate him." ”

At this time, Hou Mowu took advantage of the cold sweat that had already appeared on his back, the crime of bullying the king was not fun, he bit the tip of his tongue, turned his heart sideways, and said in a deep voice: "I thought that what the minister saw, this may be caused by the dragon veins under Taiyuan City." ”

"Dragon vein?" Zhao Jiong stared at Hou Mowu and repeated.

"Exactly," Hou Mowu bowed his head and said, not daring to look at Zhao Jiong, "Bianliang should be a business star and get fire virtue, and Taiyuan should be a star and get water virtue, since ancient times, they have not seen each other, water and fire are incompatible, so Taiyuan thieves have repeatedly opposed the imperial court." What's even more terrifying is that this Taiyuan is a thousand-year-old capital, there is a black dragon dragon vein under the city, how strong the Sui Dynasty was, Cai Yuan Taiyuan raised troops, and finally covered the world, it is for this reason. Since the previous dynasty, most of the people who opened the town of Taiyuan were called kings and emperors. It wasn't until God blessed my dynasty that His Majesty was wise and martial, but it was the true dragon of the Mandate of Heaven, that the Taiyuan Black Dragon was suppressed, and Liu Jiyuan was captured. ”

"Oh, I have also heard of the saying of the five virtues and restraint, what does this have to do with the royal spirit on Liu Jiye's head?" Zhao Jiong was puzzled.

"Your Majesty doesn't know," Hou Mowu took advantage of seeing that Zhao Jiong seemed to have entered the alley, his heart was slightly fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is a dragon vein underground, then the royal qi will be attached to the human body. Since Liu Jiyuan left, this dragon vein and royal qi have all fallen on Liu Jiye's body. And because this person is a hero, after the dragon vein is attached to his body, the black dragon king's qi is even more refined, and if His Majesty does not deal with it as soon as possible, it will become a big disaster in the future. ”

"How can this be?" Zhao Jiong gasped, "So, because of this dragon vein, the traitors in Hedong will be eradicated forever, Hou Qing, is there a good plan?"

Hou Mowu took advantage of this time to appear calm and relaxed, he smiled quite profoundly, bowed down and said: "This method of breaking the dragon vein originally hurt yin virtue, but Wei Chen can also smear the ground for His Majesty's liver and brain, how can he care about Shouyuan." This was quite generous, and even Zhao Jiong was a little moved, and he said: "For today's plan, only to stabilize Liu Jiye first, but not to get rid of it immediately, otherwise, the dragon vein will definitely be attached to others." Then, first burned Taiyuan City with fire, and a year later, it was irrigated with Fen water, staggering the power of yin and yang, and completely destroyed the dragon veins here. The people in the city should lead another place to build a new city, and after Weichen goes back here, he will study a formation to nail the dragon vein, and build the streets of the new city according to this, and the dragon vein of Taiyuan will be completely sealed. At that time, the dragon vein of Taiyuan will be completely nailed, and then Liu Jiye will be removed, and the dragon vein and royal qi will not be able to be attached to others, and there will be no emperor here. ”

Hou Mowu said that later, even he had a little bit of faith, not to mention Zhao Jiong, who had always believed in Taoist immortal arts, couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "If it weren't for Hou Qing's nailed dragon vein, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops would have worked hard for months and would have been almost in vain." "Immediately decided to recruit Liu Jiye and destroy Taiyuan City.

The military order of all departments to reorganize the army and prepare for the Northern Expedition to Yanyun came out, and more than 200,000 forbidden troops were in an uproar, and there were complaints inside and outside Taiyuan. On behalf of the famous Jianxiong Army, Liu Jiye accepted the appeasement and surrendered to the imperial court, which seemed silent. Anxi Jiedu made Wu Yingying because he was fighting against Cao Han's department on the street without authorization, and was severely reprimanded by the officials. After Liu Jiye disarmed, there was no resistance in Taiyuan City, and most of the 30,000 Taiyuan soldiers were reorganized into the Xiang Army. In view of the fact that Taiyuan City was tall and easy to be divided into feudal towns, Zhao Jiong decided to move the people out of the city and resettle them, and then set fire to the whole city, and finally used the long embankment built during the siege to irrigate the city with Fen water, completely destroying Taiyuan City.

"Marquis Lin Yu, the imperial camp has been opened, and if you don't urge it, I'm afraid you will delay the march. Ma Xinpo, the head of the Xiaowu army, looked at the front impatiently.

Lin Zhong's brows furrowed slightly, and before he could answer, Murong Gang continued: "Defeat Youzhou City, I don't know if there is a reward, what's the hurry?" "Exactly," Wu Tie also said, "Poof" spit out a grass stalk in his mouth, "Youzhou City, the Khitans are so easy to fight, hurry up, die early and be reincarnated?" Listening to the complaints of the three capable subordinates, Xiaowu Duyu Hou Linzhong's brows furrowed even tighter, but it was not easy to say anything, there was a general resentment in the forbidden army, although the emperor forcibly urged the division to go on the expedition, and took the lead, almost personally led the imperial camp as the vanguard of the whole army, up to Pan Mei, Cao Han and other generals, down to ordinary soldiers, but they couldn't beat their spirits. Since the Imperial Banzhi is willing to be a pioneer, then let them be a pioneer.

Anxi Jiedu made Wu Yingying and Yang Ye, the newly awarded right leading general, stationed on a hill in Ma, and silently stared at Taiyuan City, which had become a ruined wall. This mountain bag was originally inconspicuous in front of the majestic Jinyang City, but now it looks abrupt. The smell of burnt beard filled the air.

On the day when the forbidden army set fire to the city, it was to pile up firewood and grass in various places in the city in advance, and sent cavalry to drive the people around half a day in advance, and as soon as noon came, tens of thousands of horsemen lit fires in various parts of the city at the same time, and tens of thousands of fires were set in the city at the same time, and the fire spread very quickly, and the original people in the city were attached to their homeland, refused to move, and hid in their respective houses. Whether it was the more than 100,000 Taiyuan people who were forcibly driven to set up shacks on the opposite side of the Fen River to prepare for the construction of a new city, or the more than 30,000 remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty who were ordered to be stationed in the camp outside the city to be inspected and reorganized, they all wept with fear. Yang Ye, who was like the Great Wall of Taiyuan soldiers and civilians, was silent for several days, and the whole person was even more silent than before.

"General Yang has always said that he is invincible, and sooner or later, he will be able to recover. After being silent for too long, Wu Yingying also felt a little embarrassed, and said with relief. Zhao Jiong gave Liu Jiye to restore his former name Yang Ye, which was regarded as a clear relationship with the Liu family of the Northern Han Dynasty for him, and awarded the right leader of the army General Wei, but the military power was almost nothing, and in the past, there were nearly 10,000 strong men under his command. The same is true of the more than 30,000 fierce and daring Hedong Army, most of which were reduced to the box army and dismantled and distributed to various departments.

Yang Ye looked back at Wu Yingying, although he was nearly fifty years old, his beard under his chin was dyed with a little star frost, but his body was quite tough and burly, and his eyes were even sharper like a blade at this moment, after a while, Fang Shen said: "Wu Jie is famous," he looked up at the countless vultures hovering in the sky of Taiyuan City, sighed, and said: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers do not matter the two masters, I can't protect the Liu family. It's just that Wu Jie is young and strong, and the future is unlimited, and the veteran relies on the old to sell the old, and there are a few words to tell him, but it is also redundant. Wu Yingying hurriedly arched his hand and said: "General Meng Yang raises his love, and my lord should treat me as if I am a son and nephew, and if I have any admonitions, I am grateful." ”
