On the third day of the fourth month, Zhao Che announced that he would send troops to recruit the traitor Zhao Yang. 【Latest chapter reading. In the afternoon of the same day, Zhuge Yuejingcong, with more than 200,000 troops, went to Zhenhuang.

On the same day, Zhao Yang's personal army, the Southwest Army, also led by some senior generals under his subordinates, rushed to Zhenhuang from the Southwest Canal. The seventeenth prince Zhao Yi was overthrown, and 150,000 military power fell into the hands of Zhao Yang again.

In this way, the battle of Ssangyong, which has been brewing for many years, finally unfolded vigorously in this season of melting ice and snow.

The brutality of war was fully demonstrated from the outset. In order to prevent Chu Qiao from destroying the city wall again in that way, Zhao Yang abandoned the towering city wall and sent a large number of troops to set up an ambush thirty miles outside the city to intercept it, and started a field battle with Zhao Che and Zhuge Yue, who had more troops than his own troops. In fact, Chu Qiao has only privately developed a small amount of explosives over the years, and in order to prevent large-scale casualties caused by this weapon that is ahead of the times, Chu Qiao has never passed on the formula of gunpowder.

The dead are like artemisia grass after autumn, falling on the crisp green grassland one by one, and the mournful horn echoes in the summer sky all day long, the scene is as hideous as hell, and the soil is full of blood-soaked fishy smell. Every day after the war, the medical teams of various armies ran to the battlefield on stretchers, and the most they did was not to rescue, but to give those who were seriously injured and dying, so that they could be relieved happily.

Chu Qiao is also a person who has experienced war, and when he sees such a scene, he still can't help but feel cold.

She also asked Zhuge Yue in private, does it have to be like this? Do you have to let the soldiers of Great Xia kill each other?

Zhuge Yue looked at her, and there was a strange charm on her tough face. He said that civil war was inevitable, that Zhao Yang had been in power for too long, and that the DPRK and China were entrenched, especially in the army. It is impossible to make him willingly serve Zhao Che as the master, and Zhao Che and himself have only a short time to return to China, and it is even more difficult to set him up or split his forces, and this battle cannot be escaped. Now that the death of Emperor Xia is pinned on his head, and the princes of all walks of life wear down his power in advance, it is already the best time for a civil war to break out.

Chu Qiao actually wanted to ask Emperor Xia if he was really dead, and who did it? Is it Zhao Yang, Zhao Che, or is he Zhuge Yue?

But in the end, she still didn't ask, but Zhuge Yue took the initiative to tell her.

Speaking of God's will, a doctor in the imperial pharmacy is corrupt and fraudulent, and he has secretly bought a batch of mold medicine. However, in those days, Emperor Xia's condition recurred, and he secretly instructed the trusted imperial doctor to change the prescription, and he was afraid that the government and the opposition would know that his condition was worsening, so he did not publicize it to the public. Coincidentally, among the moldy drugs, there is a medicine that is necessary for Xia Huang's new medicine. Zhao Yang was the first to learn about this matter, he was the general in charge of the Gyeonggi army, and in the early years, he installed several cronies in the imperial pharmacy to get the news in time. But he didn't know that Zhao Che also planted cronies by his side, so the news he knew changed hands to Zhao Che.

In this way, Emperor Xia was taking new medicines every day, and his personal medical officer was only responsible for prescribing medicines, and the eunuchs who tested the medicines were also in good health and were not killed by mold. And the frail Emperor Xia finally passed away on the day of Zhuge Yue's wedding.

Emperor Xia has been cautious all his life, and he may not have thought that he would die at the hands of a corrupt and fraudulent little doctor. And his two sons, knowing about it, did not think of saving his life.

After Chu Qiao knew, he was silent for a long time, and he couldn't help but think of Yan Xun, and a little sadness arose in his heart.

Yan Xun's biggest wish in this life is to kill Emperor Xia to avenge his parents and relatives. And now, with great power and a strong army, his enemies have died of illness on his bed under the washes of time, and I wonder how he will feel when he hears the news. Do you laugh happily or cry bitterly? Maybe not, maybe he'll just sit quietly, keep all his emotions to the bottom of his heart, and then the next day, continue to do what he has to do.

The horn sounded, and Zhao Yang sent three more cavalry regiments to kill from the flank. Zhuge Yue ordered four auxiliary corps to meet and assault Zhao Yang's army from the side.

The war has lasted for two days and two nights, without a moment's pause, and various tactics have been put into battle in various ways. Zhao Yang and Zhuge Yue are both first-class handsome talents in the world, and their strength is comparable this time, and no one has taken advantage of them under the tough encounter.

Chu Qiao's Xiuli army also participated in the battle three times, cooperating with the Qinghai army to attack Zhao Yang's right flank, and He Xiao led people to tear open the gap of the enemy army twice, but they were quickly blocked by the enemy.

Everyone knows that this is a battle for imperial power. The victor will win the world, and the loser is doomed to die without a place to be buried. And these retinues of them will also face the same fate, so that no one will flinch, even if the last drop of blood is shed, they will die on the battlefield.

Early in the morning of the third day, Zhuge Yue sat on the platform in military uniform, did not give an exciting speech, just pulled out his war knife and said loudly to his subordinates: "This is the last day, after this battle, we will be recorded in history." ”

"Kill! Fight the enemy! ”

Thousands of thick voices chanted together, Chu Qiao stood behind the crowd, half-squinted, looked at the man surrounded by thousands of troops and horses in the backlight, smiled slightly, and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

With a muffled sound like thunder on the horizon, a faint black shadow appeared in the empty field. On the endless grassland, Zhuge Yue's army finally officially encountered Zhao Yang's main force. Two days of hard fighting caused heavy losses on both sides, but they still stood here with high morale at the moment, without a trace of retreat.

The shadows were rapidly expanding, like a black cloud, spreading across the sky so mighty that there was no end in sight. Under the illumination of the sun, a large amount of tumbling dust was brought up, and Zhuge Yue's army was stared at from afar in a dense charging formation.

200 zhang, 100 zhang, 50 zhang......

As they got closer, they could almost smell the warm breath coming from the noses of each other's horses.

The breath of death echoed across the battlefield, and scavenging crows hovered overhead, making strange and unpleasant cries from time to time.

The rumbling war drums sounded, the hooves of thousands of horses moved restlessly, the earth shook uncontrollably, and the sound rose from under the soles of people's feet, all the way into the bone marrow of the backbone, making people's hearts chill.

A fierce battle was imminent, and everyone held their breath, clutching the hilt of their knives, as if trying to pull the handle out of the water.

"Attack." Zhuge Yue raised his head and gave the order to attack lightly. And at the same time as he gave the order to attack, the same order was passed down in Zhao Yang's army.

The cavalry in the front row drew their swords, and the sound of drawing knives in unison spread all over the land for a while, as neat as if the gods had sneezed. The wind of slaughter blew on the plain, the heavens and the earth were vast, and there was heavy blood cutting across the blade, pointing at each other in the distance, waiting for a fierce battle of life and death.

However, at this moment, a series of heavy horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the ancient road far away, and they blew into this vast battlefield along the fierce north wind.

"Three thousand miles of urgent war report! General Southwest Zhu asks for help from the imperial capital! Three thousand miles of urgent war report! General Southwest Zhu asks for help from the imperial capital! ”

The young herald, covered in ashes, rushed into the battlefield at a gallop, and in the midst of everyone's horrified gaze, jumped off his horse, and fell to the ground and shouted, "General! Your Highness! Don't fight anymore! Southwest War Report! There is a war report in the southwest! ”

Hundreds of thousands of people were silent at the same time, and not a single person responded to this little soldier who was so bold as to rush to the battlefield.

"What are you talking about?" A deep voice sounded slowly, Zhao Yang is the leader of the southwest president, and his subordinate soldiers are all from the southwest, hearing this, he stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, help! When the little soldier saw Zhao Yang, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Yan Xun led an army of 400,000 to break through the pass, enter our country, and swept through nineteen provinces in two days, and the southwest area has now become a scorched earth. ”

"Myths confuse the public!" Yue Qi held a war knife in his hand, sat on horseback in a military uniform, and said coldly when he heard this, "There will be as many as 300,000 guards in Yanming, how can Yan Xun quietly enter the southwest territory?" ”

When everyone heard this, Chu Qiao forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and he also felt that this matter was unreasonable. Even if there is a civil war in the country, everyone knows the importance of Yanming Pass and the threat of Yanbei, so neither Zhao Yang nor Zhao Che has drawn a single soldier from Yanming Pass. However, in a few days, how could Yan Xun break through the Yanming Pass and enter the hinterland of Great Xia?

"Lord Sima, it is not Yanming Pass that Yanbei has broken, but Baizhi Pass!" The messenger said sadly, "In the turmoil in Bian Tang, Princess Jing'an raised the flag and rebelled, contacted the old department of King Jing'an, and privately led troops to open the Tang Pass, and let the Yanbei Army enter Bian Tang. The defenders in the southeast of Bian Tang were all killed, and the national capital was in danger, Yanbei took Bian Tang, united with the Huai Song army, and attacked our army Baizhi Pass. The southwest defenders of Baizhi Pass were all transferred, and now there are less than 10,000 soldiers, and the beacon tower was destroyed by the spies of the fourth master of the wind in the city, and the news could not be transmitted, and in less than two days, the entire southwest land fell! ”

Suddenly, the needles fell on the battlefield, and the north wind blew silently across the petrified battlefield.

On the sixth day of the fourth month of the eighth year of the Bai Cang calendar, a joking news shocked everyone like a thunderbolt from the sky:

"On the third day of the fourth month, Yan Xun led 400,000 Yanbei troops to attack Bactria through Bian Tang, and all the southwestern territories fell, and about four million people became slaves."

Wei Shuye raised his head, the fiery red sun came into view, the rising red was like bright blood, the barren grass was bleak, and it shook and shook. The rumbling war drums roared in his ears, and thousands of soldiers swarmed towards him, and the iron-gray shadows covered the battlefield little by little.

He was covered in blood, his delicate face was already covered with blood, his hair was tangled, stained with foul-smelling blood, his sword had collapsed, and the war horse under his crotch was already trembling with his legs, overwhelmed.

A strong enemy invaded, the southwest land fell, and the sworn enemies of Great Xia pried open the country, and led the army of tigers and wolves to wreak havoc on the empire. However, except for a few defenders in the southwest, he was the only one who led his troops south to fight against the enemy army of all the clan lords in the entire Great Xia country.

Along the way, he saw too many families leading the family army to flee north, and the flow of people who couldn't see the edge was like a long dragon, constantly rushing to the north. They drove the carriages, dressed in fine clothes, with a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and personal guards, and even some local provincial officials fled to Zhenhuang with their local guards, and they waved their whips and spears to drive aside the civilians who stood in the way, and their faces were full of panic, and they did not show the noble posture of ordinary times.

Wei Shuye also tried to organize these armies, and he even ordered the roads to be blocked, drawing his sword against the aristocratic officials who fled. However, those people gave him good reasons: defending the imperial capital, retreating strategically, rushing to Beijing to prevent the civil war, preserving the elite strength of the empire in order to fight the enemy, etc., in short, they would rather fight with him Wei Shuye than go back to fight with the Yanbei army.

Some people scolded and shouted, saying that there was not a single regular defender left in the southwest, and they had all been transferred back to fight the civil war by the princes, and the royal family members didn't want this country anymore, so why should they go to war?

In the face of these noisy voices, Wei Shuye was speechless.

Just look at the refreshing one
