When the news reached King Duan, it was already verdant, King Duan was waving his troops to storm Huguan, and several rounds of attacks had been launched in less than half a month, and the defenders and siegers were all killed and wounded, and more than 100,000 people fell!

"Emperor Feng is really able to bend and stretch!"

Duan Wang opened the secret letter splashed with blood, and after reading it, he gritted his teeth in anger, obviously he had pinched Chu Ziyan's kid in his hand, and also said that he moved Huaibei to himself, as long as he defeated the north, even if Huaibei knew that Chu Ziyan was caught by him in the future, he was helpless, but at this juncture where he needed Huaibei's material help the most, let Emperor Feng intervene.

"Keep rushing to this king! If you don't take the pot off, you will never retreat! ”

King Duan knew that he had to be fast now, and after ordering the generals to lead his troops to storm Huguan, King Duan looked for his henchmen again and instructed: Quickly bring people back to Jizhou, you personally lead 200,000 troops from Jizhou over, and this king must have taken Huguan at that time. You pay attention to Huainan's moves! ”

It can be said that in order to capture the pot pass, Duanwang completely spared no cost.

Cui Yu understood that King Duan's outpouring of the nest must be a fierce attack, and his own forces were completely weaker than the other party, so he could only hold on, and sent someone to report to Kyoto quickly, asking for support. After all, the previous conscription in Kyoto was not a secret, Cui Yu thought that although it was difficult to recruit 300,000 soldiers and his elite to defend Huguan, it was not impossible.

But there was no news of the reinforcements for a long time, but they waited for the ridiculous joke that Emperor Feng married Princess Beixin as the queen.

"It's ridiculous!"

Although Cui Yu is a military general, he was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, and he still retains the shackles of etiquette and religion in his bones, otherwise he would not still be loyal to Emperor Feng under the persuasion of King Jin Jiyang for many years, and he really has expectations for Emperor Feng. This time, when he heard the news that Emperor Feng was marrying Princess Beixin, he was so angry that he tore up the letter on the spot, and he never imagined that Emperor Feng could make such a shameful decision.

frowned and said: "If this matter is really done, it must not be laughed at and generous." ”

"Huh!"

Ji Yang, who was dressed in purple brocade, hooked the corners of his mouth, glamorous as a fragrant peach and plum, but when he opened his mouth, it was a frost and cold arrow, and he bluntly said sarcastically, "It is not normal for the old thief of Emperor Feng to have such a move, if he cherishes his reputation, why would he make the Dongfeng Kingdom into the situation of today's fragmentation, it is not all his selfishness and selfishness, and he will harm the whole country for his own selfishness." ”

"Cui Yu, let me ask you again today, do you still want to be a weapon that can only fight under the old thief's hands?"

Ji Yang's sparkling eyes were full of solemnity, and he stared sharply at Cui Yu, who was frowning.

"Emperor Feng's fall is not good for you Ji Yang, why do you have to overthrow the Dongfeng Kingdom?"

Cui Yu Junyi's face was full of puzzlement, and then said: "I also know that Emperor Feng has all kinds of mistakes, but this world really can't easily change the dynasty, Ji Yang, you look forward, that change of dynasty is not a decades of war, or even longer!" Moreover, this Feng Emperor has no years to live, as long as the court can be stable, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, and then there is the support of the prince and others, it is not that the people can no longer recuperate. It's just up to Ji Yang if you are willing to sit in that position! ”

"Huh! Naive! ”

Ji Yang directly flicked his sleeves, looking at Cui Yu's serious eyes, he only felt that his heart, liver and lungs were painful and angry.

Raising his hand and pointing at Cui Yu's nose, Ji Yang opened his mouth and wanted to mock with cold eyes, but he extinguished the fire under the clear and serious eyes of the other party, and sighed helplessly, "Cui Yu, Cui Yu, why don't you have a snack!" The prince is my teacher, get along for more than ten years, I know him better than you, Feng Xun and I are the chess pieces in his hands to clamp the world, six years ago Feng Xun suddenly woke up and took advantage of the serious illness to return to Huainan and then Taoguang to recuperate. In this way, the prince only has me as a chess piece in his hand, and his unruliness gives him a headache. ”

"The prince is for Ji Yang's hello, and also for the people of the world!"

Cui Yu shook his head disapprovingly.

Ji Yang sneered, "Yes, the prince treats me well. But for the sake of the people of the world, hehe, Ah Yu, look at this Dongfeng Kingdom, it's been six years, and the people have been living for six years, look at what the prince has done! Sitting on the top and looking down on the struggling common people, it is simply like a mustard. ”

"The prince also saved you from Emperor Feng before, how can you be a wicked person?" Cui Yu frowned.

"Ah Yu, I'm not saying that the prince is a wicked person, it's not. It's just that what the prince can see in his eyes is the family, and in the eyes of the prince, only these people are worthy of his attention. ”

Cui Yu wanted to refute, but he had nothing to say.

Ji Yang continued: "Ah Yu, this Dongfeng Kingdom is very bad from the roots! The family controls the resources, and it is difficult for the people at the bottom to survive, I, if I promise the prince to ascend to the throne as he wishes, yes, my blood feud can be avenged in an instant, but the essence of this Dongfeng country has not changed in the slightest. Just look at the previous imperial examinations, although it seems to give the people at the bottom a way out, but the requirements are extremely harsh, and ninety percent of the ministers in the court are elected from the nobles of the family. ”

"Ah Yu, this can't work!"

Ji Yang's eyes were red, and his voice was rarely choked, "And if I promise the prince, not to mention when the current situation of Dongfeng Kingdom will be unified, that problem will not be solved just now." The prince represents the family gatekeeper, and your Cui family is also a family, Cui Yu, you know. ”

Cui Yu was speechless.

But since he was born, he received such an education, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it before.

His lips moved, and Cui Yu muttered, "Didn't you come over like this hundreds of years ago?" Why, why can't you go here when you get to Ji Yang? We, when the time comes, we will ask the prince to reduce the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and our Cui family will give half of the land to the people, isn't it okay? ”

"Ah Yu, you are so innocent and cute!"

Ji Yang is really angry and helpless, but Cui Yu is such a person, he didn't know it today, got up and patted Cui Yu's shoulder, Ji Yang sighed, "At most, Ah Yu, you only have so much time." Think it through! ”

He went out without looking back.

Only Cui Yu was left standing there alone and tangled.

Ji Yang originally thought that Cui Yu would be able to hold for at least a few months without reinforcements, but he didn't expect that in less than twenty days, sixty or seventy thousand soldiers defending the city would die, and of course there were more people on Duanwang's side.

"If it goes on like this, the pot will definitely not be able to hold it."

Although Cui Yu prides himself on being good at using soldiers, it is difficult to hold on to the situation that Duanwang has three times more soldiers and horses than himself, and the most important thing is that it is only spring now, and some time ago, he selected some good seeds from the already small stock of grain to cultivate, and the rest of the grain cannot last for half a month.

With a dumb voice, Cui Yu frowned and said, "Isn't there any news from the imperial court yet?" ”
