After Sun Zhihua met Wu Zhong, the deputy general of the governor's standard battalion, it didn't take much to persuade the deputy general Wu, who had already given birth to other thoughts, and the two hit it off and decided to follow the example of the blue jade back then, and open the city gate to offer the city to welcome the king.

If the two sides are equal, Wu Zhong is still willing to defend himself because of Zhang Huadi's many years of affection, but now that it is clear that he is sent to death, Wu Zhong, who has passed the age of blood, naturally has to think about his life and the wife and children behind him.

Wu Zhong raised the account overnight, but he didn't want to jump out of a few loyal ministers and good generals at this last moment, and the people on both sides directly began to fight in the camp.

An hour later, Wu Zhong and Sun Zhihua walked out of the camp under the escort of their own soldiers and climbed the city tower, Wu Zhong ordered: "The Northwest Wangshi entered the customs, with the Qing Jun's side, Zhang Huadi was obsessed and stubbornly resisted the Wangshi, and we naturally couldn't follow it, so I decided to conform to the times, conform to the people's will, and submit to the Northwest King.

"No!" After a school officer loudly agreed, with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen armor soldiers pushed out several generals who were tied up by five flowers.

Most of these people were wounded and disheveled, and they were grabbed by the hair by the armor soldiers in charge of execution, and their heads were separated before the knife fell from their hands. Then some soldiers hung the heads of these dead men on the gate of the camp.

After doing this, Wu Zhong said to the generals around him: "Brothers, from today on, we are the people of the Northwest Army, General Sun said, as long as we open the city gate, Wen Shuai will naturally have a wealth after entering the city, if you are still obsessed, the following people are a lesson from the past!"

Where did the people who had just walked around the ghost gate dare to object, they naturally said yes.

Wu Zhong looked around and saw that there was no one who didn't open his eyes, so he ordered: "Open the city gate!"

By this time the sky had turned bright, and the night had faded into a deep blue, so that you could see even without a torch.

Wei Ban, who had already received the news, sent 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers into the city.

There was no battle during the whole process of entering the city, and even except for the roaring footsteps of the Northwest Army, the entire Jeju city was silent as if it were dead. Even if the people in the city found out about the abnormality in the city at this time, and were in the instinctive fear of war, they still hid in their homes, waiting was the only thing they could do, maybe waiting for peace, or waiting for slaughter.

If the commander of the Northwest Army at this time is not Wei Ban, but Lin Han, then the fate of Jeju Mansion is likely to be the latter, fortunately, Xiao Yu expected this situation, and left Lin Han by his side, led by Wei Ban alone, then the fate of Jeju Mansion will probably be the former.

Wu Zhong was neatly dressed and led all the generals to stand outside the East City Gate, with Shen Xiu and other gentlemen beside him, waiting for Wei to enter the city.

It wasn't until the hour of the hour that Wei Ban came to the east gate of Jeju Mansion under the heavy iron armor guard, and Wu Zhong and his cadres knelt on the ground and saluted, "The last general will wait for Jeju civil and military people to descend to see Wen Shuai." ”

Wei Ban turned over and dismounted, strode forward, made a false gesture, and said: "Fortunately, thanks to your help, Wei can take Jeju Mansion lightly, and it is hard work." ”

Everyone got up, and Shen Xiu said: "Don't dare to call it hard, the city has been properly settled, and Wen Shuai is invited to enter the city." ”

Wei Ban did not excuse himself too much, and entered the governor's yamen surrounded by a group of people.

With the Wei ban entering the Yamen, the former governor of Qizhou, and changing it into his temporary line, Jeju Mansion, which represented the last and capital of Qizhou, completely fell, and the Northwest Army completely controlled the entire territory of Qizhou.

In terms of the overall battle situation, first of all, the northern front line was completely lost, and Xiao Yu's Chinese army was already approaching Zhili Prefecture. Then the Wei forbidden left army took Qizhou, and Xiao Yuzhong's army was connected to form a two-sided encirclement of Zhili Prefecture, only waiting for the right army of Minxing to take Yuzhou, then the entire Zhili Prefecture was surrounded by the Northwest Army on three sides.

After Wei Ban captured Qizhou, he did not rush to the north to join Xiao Yu, but first rectified the military affairs of Qizhou, banned the original garrison establishment of Qizhou, and after reorganizing and reorganized, set up a command envoy and appointed Sun Zhihua as the temporary commander of the capital. Wu Zhong's department was incorporated into the Wei forbidden army, Wu Zhong was originally a third-rank deputy general, according to the northwest military system, the border army was one level higher than the local army, and was reassigned to the four-rank commander.

In addition, in terms of civil officials, Zhang Huadi died violently, Wei Ban was grateful for his loyalty, so that people could collect the body and bury it, and appointed Shen Xiu to temporarily act as the chief official of Qizhou Chengxuan Political Secretary, and Sun Zhihua, just wait for Wei Ban to communicate to the king of the northwest, he can remove the word temporary and become the civil and military chief of a state.

Qizhou Daomen played an important role in the Northwest Army's capture of Qizhou, and Wei Ban authorized Qizhou Daomen to take a square of land in Jeju Prefecture and build a Taoist temple after receiving Xiao Yu's secret order.

When everything is handled properly, the battle in Qizhou has officially come to an end, and the time has entered the early winter season of October.

Xiao Yu officially raised troops to enter the customs on the eighth day of September, and the eighth day of October was the beginning of winter, which happened to be a month in the past. The reason for such a result is that the strong combat strength of the Northwest Army is only one aspect, and there are constantly officials, generals, and gentry who have surrendered to the Northwest, as well as the strong support of various Taoist sects, which is the fundamental reason.

Before you know it, the northwest has become the most powerful prince among all the princes.

――

In the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, Zhao Qing threw away the fold in his hand, and then sat down dejectedly.

Zhao Qing was the only one in the whole room, although the door was closed and the window was closed, there was still sunlight shining into the house through the window paper, shining the dust to the slightest.

Zhao Qing looked at these fine dust particles and muttered: "There are two states in January, there are already eight states in the northwest, and there are only a few states in the whole world?"

"Master, in the last war between the Northeast and the Northwest, as long as we took advantage of the victory and pursued, we could completely overturn the Northwest, and there would be no day to turn over, why do you want to watch from the wall? As a result, the Northeast Army was defeated, and the Northwest Army had a chance to breathe, and now that the Northwest Army is making a comeback, and the Northeast Army is shrinking into a corner, how can we resist?"

"Why is Xiao Yu's action so fast, as long as I am given another three years, I will be able to reorganize and train 200,000 Heavenly Son pro-army, and I will be able to attack the northeast in the east, the northwest in the west, and the south in the south, giving this world a great peace. ”

"Is it really the situation dictating the times? After Xiao Yu, there were 200,000 troops in the grassland, and after the end of the alliance, Murong Yan was built, everyone was saying that the general trend was the trend, and no one was willing to fight to the death, how long did it take Xiao Yu to go from a traitor who everyone shouted at to fight to the king of the northwest who everyone vied to serve? Two years or three years?"

"Could it be that when heaven and earth work together, the heroes are not free?"

Zhao Qing's face suddenly turned hideous, and he slapped the table in front of him with one palm, as if he was still angry, and slapped five palms in a row to the surroundings.

There was a sudden silence all around, and then with a rustling sound like cannibalizing mulberry leaves, the whole house turned into a little bit of fly ash, and the objects in the house also dispersed, leaving only the ironwood chair where Zhao Qing was sitting.

Zhao Qing held on to the handrail, gasped lowly, and said hatefully: "Xiao Yu, you have been against me since I was a child, what am I? I am just a helpless orphan, I have nothing, everything can only be fought by myself! What about you? You have a master to pave the way for you, a master to spoil you, and a grandfather to teach you personally, what are you not satisfied with? Later, the master died, and you turned against the master for this, I think my opportunity has finally come, but why? Why did the master let you marry Lin Yinping, why not me? What am I worse than you?!"

There was silence.

After a long time, Zhao Qing laughed nervously, "Yes, I am a little worse than you, you are the son of Xiao Lie, the descendant of the Xiao family, and I, Zhao Qing, am just a wild seed who doesn't know wherewhere, how can I compare to you, a noble of the Xiao family? So you can marry Lin Yuan's baby daughter, you can use your father-in-law's power to achieve a career, and I can only sit here and wait for death." ”

Zhao Qing slowly got up from the chair, and the ironwood chair that was comparable to fine iron also turned into ashes.

The young governor looked at the sky, suddenly felt a huge sense of powerlessness, sat on the ground, and just muttered, "Master, do you want me to be Xiao Yu's last whetstone?"
