When Emperor Yang Ji came to the central gate of the Shang Capital, the Qianjin Gate in front of him was deformed due to excessive impact, and could not be opened from the inside, and there was no way for reinforcements to find the siege wood abandoned by the rebels to continue to impact, the moment the Qianjin Gate was opened, everyone was moved, and the Emperor Yang Ji, who has always been known for his iron and ruthlessness, couldn't help but shed tears.

Standing in front of him was Merlin and a group of ragged and gray-faced veterans led by him, these people supported each other, although they were crumbling but still trying to maintain a neat welcome formation, their eyes were already full of tears, this is a kind of joy for the rest of their lives, but also a kind of pride of the soldiers of the Great Shang Empire, some of them, when Yang Ji passed by them, still tried their best to hold their already hunched back, their faces flushed and took a deep breath, the purpose was just to make their shriveled chest muscles look stronger, although their eyes kept looking forward, but they were scanning the Emperor Yang Ji with their spare eyes to see if he was coming, and Yankee's simple action of patting the shoulder made them even more excited, and made the people standing behind jealous.

They were weak and weak, they had long since passed their youthful years, and their not very uniform queue looked like a group of beggars fleeing from the famine, but each of them saluted a very standard imperial military salute, and each of them had extremely serious expressions.

Yanki was followed by several high-ranking Imperial officers, including the Grand Commander of the Karen Fortress at the border of the Demar Empire.

The commander of the Northern Sichuan Dynasty observed these defenders lined up at the entrance of the cave in the city behind Yang Ji, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, like this team, if it was yesterday, the Northern Sichuan Ming would still think that he only needed a hundred cavalry, and he could easily defeat it, but it was such a team, such a lineup, stubbornly resisted the attack of Simon and the rebel army totaling 300,000 troops for more than ten days, and won enough time for the Battle of Xishang Luo, it can be said that without their persistence, once the Shang capital fell into Simon's Archon Aosong, there would be countless possibilities, and the direction of the war would become more confusing, and the Great Shang would also be forced by the defender to become the attacking side, thereby losing the initiative on the battlefield.

The remaining 2,000 defenders of the Shang capital and the 7,000 defenders who had died defended the dignity of the Great Shang with their own will and lives, and won the most precious time for the cavalry of the Karen Fortress led by Yang Ji, the new army of Li Xiangru, the Xuantie army of Yang Yi, and the friendly forces of the Robben Empire.

On November 15, 173, Yang Ji announced that in order to commemorate the soldiers who died in the Battle of Western Shang Luo, November 15 was set as the day of the founding of the Great Shang Kingdom, on which everyone should refrain from eating meat and drinking alcohol and cancel all entertainment activities on that day.

After the end of the Battle of Western Shangluo, the area affected by the Great Shang War gradually calmed down, and the people who fled from the Shang Capital gradually returned to their homes, and the Shang Capital is restoring its former prosperity at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Shang Capital is currently carrying out two most important things, the first thing is to maintain order to prevent the occurrence of robbers during this period, and the second is to reward all the soldiers in this battle for their military achievements.

The ministers below have been discussing this matter for a week, but there is still no result.

Some people believe that the first person to participate in the battle should be Li Xiangru of the new army, and it is precisely because they fought against the Simon cavalry in the middle and end of the battle that the result of the battle took a turn for the better, if it were not for the fact that they defeated 200,000 Simon cavalry in the middle of the battle, I am afraid that the big merchants would have been captured.

In the final stage of the Shang Metropolis, the number of Simon's cavalry killed exceeded a quarter of Simon's total number of casualties, completely disrupting Simon's cavalry, especially at the last moment, Rick Wolf ordered someone to shoot down the opponent's banner, which led to the discouragement of the opponent's army, and the final rout.

There are also people who believe that the first credit should be credited to the reinforcements of the Karen fortress led by the commander Kawakita Ming, because they are the main force that pursued Simon's rout for thousands of miles, and they are basically the legion that killed more enemies in this battle.

However, all the ministers who stayed in Shang and did not leave believed that the most tragic battle in the Battle of Western Shang Luo was the defensive battle of Shang that lasted for more than ten days, and the 9,000 old and weak soldiers led by Merlin not only killed more than ten times his own troops, but also won the most precious time for the battle.

And Li Xiangru and Merlin petitioned Yang Ji, hoping to be able to take the greatest credit to the fallen General Wotaihe, it is precisely because of General Wotaihe's southern expedition to the north and the south, the sound of the east and the west, not only alleviated the decline of the Great Shang Empire, but also consumed the living force of nearly 100,000 cavalry of the other side, so that Simon had to continue to transfer reinforcements from the country, so to speak, if there was no rebellion of the original Iron Shield Legion, without Lin Bing's betrayal of the country for glory, perhaps there was no need to fight the Shang Metropolitan War, and the war would have ended.

At the most critical moment of the battle, no one knows the reason why the Robben Empire, which had been an ally of the Simon Republic, suddenly turned against him.

"Bold Huang Fei, you little envoy of the Mission, who gave you so much power, gave you so much guts, and let you promise the Great Shang's Flame City Fortress to the Robben Empire. When he heard Landers asking him for the Flame City Fortress, Yankee had a gloomy face, and after Landers left, he immediately sent someone to call Huang Fei over and scold him.

Yang Ji originally thought that the reason why Robben sent troops was out of submission to Dashang, but he didn't expect that because of the promise of Huang Fei in front of him, he gave away hundreds of square kilometers of land and fortresses from Dashang in a few words.

When Huang Fei entered the door, he just caught up with Yang Ji smashing the antiques on the table, and those antiques seemed to like Huang Fei, and they flew towards him one after another, so he had to step on the steps recorded in the imperial scripture and carefully dodge, neither too far to be attacked by more vases, nor too close to be really hit by the antiques.

"Your Majesty, this is a measure of rights and interests that I use, I am only a small envoy of the mission, and I have no right to give the territory of the Great Shang to others, so the promise under me is invalid, and you can completely ignore the requirements of the Robben Empire. Huang Fei hurriedly explained while jumping and dodging.

As soon as the words ended, the stormy antique attack ended, and I saw Yang Ji struggling to hold a bronze tripod for incense and trying to lift it.

The copper tripod Huang Fei visually weighed at least five hundred catties.

"So you can make random promises based on your identity, right? You say, that Randers of Robben is waiting outside the hall, can you let me tell him that in fact we are just joking with him?"

"Your Majesty, can you put down your things first, if you do this, can we still have a pleasant conversation? Huang Fei flashed the flying copper tripod, and with a sweep of his afterglow, he found that Yang Ji had turned around to pull out the sword hanging on the wall again.

"I know that the Flame Fortress was taken by His Majesty's hard work, and more than 100,000 soldiers were killed and wounded at that time, but I think that the Flame Fortress is too far away from the Great Shang Army, and the supply remains unchanged, just like chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, and there are other ways to bypass the Flame Fortress, so it is not only not a barrier for the Great Merchants, but also a piece of the heart of the Great Merchants, so I make my own decisions and return this burden to the Robben Empire, which can not only strengthen the relationship with the Robben Empire, but also reduce the defense line of our Great Merchants。 Seeing Yang Ji rushing over with his sword, Huang Fei hurriedly said his reason for doing this without stopping, and after finishing speaking, he immediately closed his mouth, because Yang Ji's sword had already fallen on Huang Fei's neck.

At this time, Huang Fei was sweating like rain, and the slightest coolness of the sword on his neck made him both frightened and itchy, and he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

Although Yang Ji glared at Huang Fei fiercely, there was no murderous aura in his eyes, "Do you really think so?"

Huang Fei's eyes rolled up and down, and it seemed that there was a turning point when he heard this?" "Yes, Your Majesty, I know that my actions will damage the power of Long Wei, but I must do this for the sake of the great businessman's country, even if I leave a stench for ten thousand years, I will never regret it, because there is only one word in my dictionary, loyalty." ”

Yang Ji pondered for a moment and patted Huang Fei on the shoulder, "What a loyal word, Huang Fei, Lord Huang, you are really a righteous man of my big business." ”

"Your Majesty has a good reputation, and I am willing to throw my head and blood for the big businessmen, and keep Dan to take care of the sweat. ”

"That's right, Lord Huang, I was too impulsive just now, don't be surprised. ”

"There, I can see His Majesty's Long Wei is a blessing that he has cultivated in the next eight lifetimes. ”

"Didn't I throw so many antiques at you just now, I'm really sorry. ”

"It's okay Your Majesty, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we are still good brothers. ”

"Ahem, I mean, I heard that you Huang Ji are very rich, ahem, no, you see that there has just been a war in the Great Shang Empire, and the treasury is empty, Lord Huang, do you think that the loss of those antiques was paid by you?" Yang Ji threw Huang Fei a list of items.

"Wow, Your Majesty, you have made a list of items so quickly?" Huang Feileng paused.

"Yes"

"But Your Majesty, I don't seem to have seen this white crane in the sky in the list!"

"Oh, it was smashed in the last few days, why do you have any opinions?"

β€œ......”

"Guards, drag Huang out of the ......"

"Don't, Your Majesty, just now I was thinking that the white cranes in the sky were originally a pair, and now there is only one on the list, please allow me to add a stroke on my own initiative. ”

"Lord Huang is really the first loyal minister of the Great Shang, a peerless pillar."

β€œ......”

"Your Majesty, if you still need anything, just say it directly. ”

Yang Ji smiled, "Lord Huang, I really have one thing that you need to do, it is very important to me, and it is also very important to the Great Shang Empire. ”

Huang Fei: "Your Majesty, can you change your line, as soon as I hear your words, I feel so nervous and stressed." ”

Yang Ji: "Okay, Lord Huang, I have decided to give you a mission, this mission is very simple and easy, if you perform it ten times, you should theoretically be able to survive once." ”

Huang Fei: "No, Your Majesty, there is no foundation in the next and no real power, there are so many elites in the empire, why did you choose me alone, do I look so easy to bully?"

Yankee: "No foundation and no real power is your innate advantage in carrying out this mission. ”

Huang Fei: "...... Your Majesty, if I don't go. ”

Yang Ji patted him on the shoulder kindly: "Then you won't be able to get out of here alive, in order for my plan not to be leaked, the dead are the safest." ”

"Your Majesty, what exactly is the plan......

Yang Ji pulled Huang Fei to his side and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Huang Fei's face changed suddenly when he heard this, "Your Majesty, what if you hang up below." ”

"You are a rebel and thief under the banner of me......"
