Some partings are for goodbye, while others are goodbyes.

"Zizheng, this time I will stay with the Pengzhou army to advance and retreat, I may not have the opportunity to go back in the future, please pay more attention to the matter of supporting your parents, my brother has thanked you here!"

At the south gate of Yuyang City, Jing Ziyi was bending down to salute Jing Zizheng.

His tone was low but firm.

"Brother, don't worry, since you are willing to go to the soup for loyalty, brother, I will put filial piety first, and you don't think about it!"

Jing Zizheng knelt down in front of Jing Ziyi with tears in his eyes and kowtowed.

From childhood to adulthood, his eldest brother Jing Ziyi was a role model for him to learn, and even as an adult, he always thought that his eldest brother Jing Ziyi was a real man.

Now he has to give everything for his loyalty, and he may not even be able to save his life, but Jing Ziyi did not hesitate at all.

Jing Zizheng didn't persuade him, because he knew that his brother must have thought it through, and he also wanted not to shame the Jing family.

Just when the Jing brothers said goodbye to each other, Song Shilong also called Qi Ning and Qi Chao to his side.

"Qi Ning, although you have been willful since you were a child, your uncle still likes you the most, because you are very much like your uncle when he was young!"

Song Shilong rubbed Qi Ning's head, and Qi Ning was already bitter like a tearful man at this time.

"Uncle, it was Xiao Ning who hurt you, if I agreed to Wu Chengwen's marriage, my uncle and the generals might not have ended up in such a field."

"Silly boy, this actually has nothing to do with you, Wu Chengwen and your matter is just a cover for them to cover up their true purpose!"

Song Shilong comforted Qi Ning softly.

"Qi Dynasty, you are also a man now, and you also keep the blood of our Song family, I hope you can inherit the blood of our Song family and be a good man, protect your sister and protect your family!"

Song Shilong looked at his nephew, who was still immature but already a little heroic, and said.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my sister and family!"

Qi Chao's eyes are also red, he has admired his uncle since he was a child, and he has always hoped that one day he can become an iron-blooded man who guards the border like his uncle.

But today he realized that he estimated that it would be difficult for him to catch up with his uncle in this life.

Being able to sacrifice his life for his loyalty and ideals is something that only a hero can do.

His uncle is a real hero.

"I have some letters here that I ask you to bring back to your mother, including your grandfather's surname, so that she can pass them on to you sometime!"

Song Shilong said and took out some letters from his arms.

Some of them were for his sister, some were for his father, and a few were for his wife and children.

"Uncle, don't worry, we will bring the letter, and at the same time, we will take care of my grandfather and aunt!"

Qi Chao knelt down to take the letter, and then kowtowed three times seriously.

"Good boy, uncle, don't worry, it's not too early, you should hurry up and leave, otherwise you won't have a chance to leave when the army of the grassland tribe surrounds you."

After speaking, Song Shilong got up, and there were many people around him who were separated from relatives and friends.

After explaining what had happened, all of them got up silently, and then turned around with red eyes.

"If that kid can come back, it will be a good choice to entrust for life, and my uncle hopes that you can seize the opportunity."

Just when Qi Ning was being helped by Qi Chao and was about to leave, Song Shilong, who was facing away from them, suddenly said something.

Qi Ning's mind at this time also appeared Li Yi's vigorous figure.

When everyone left, Song Shilong and everyone in Pengzhoujun all showed a relieved expression.

Then it's time for them to act.

As the southern gate of Yuyang County was slowly closed, all the feudal town armies and vassal king armies in all places except for the Pengzhou army were excluded from the city of Yuyang County.

These people were the troops they had followed Song Shilong to pursue the grassland cavalry before, so they had a rough idea of what the Pengzhou army would do next.

They admired Peng Zhoujun and Song Shilong himself very much.

At the same time, at this time, everyone inevitably felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, but even if they were a little reluctant, they couldn't intervene.

The eighth day of October in the seventh year of Emperor Shengheng

This is a day that deserves to be remembered by the entire Dayu Dynasty.

Because on this day, a major event occurred at the border pass of Beisai that shocked the whole country: the Pengzhou Army Incident.

At that time, the military report submitted to Emperor Shengheng by the Ministry of War was written like this:

On the eighth day of October in the seventh year of Emperor Heng, the Pengzhou army guarded by Yuyang in Beisai, rebellious and unreasonable, contempt for heaven's grace, its lord will be a dragon to let Beidi enter the pass, resulting in the loss of Lincheng Shanggu, the people were slaughtered, thousands of miles of red land, and then his deputy general Song Shilong and Pengzhou army killed the envoy of the imperial court without permission, and saved the rebel thief dragon in prison, which is really appalling, lawless, and does not respect the grace of the saint.

After the rebellion of Pengzhou thieves in fear of the grace of heaven, lamenting the absurdity of their behavior, so they knew that they were guilty, so they opened the south gate and fought with thousands of Beidi outside the city, and finally all the thieves died of exhaustion and did not survive.

In the first battle, 21,325 thieves died in Pengzhou, and 44,567 people died in Beidi.

Subsequently, the city of Yuyang was broken, and tens of thousands of troops from Beidi entered our pass.

It is said that when Emperor Shengheng saw this battle report, he was so angry that he almost didn't take his back on it.

As the emperor of Dayu, he is actually clear in his heart about these political tilts and mutual blame between officials.

Usually he turns a blind eye to this kind of thing, and he doesn't know about it.

After all, this kind of political struggle is also part of the ability to be an official, and Emperor Shengheng is still very happy to see this.

However, this time, what Beisi and the military department did was to exceed the bottom line of Emperor Shengheng.

At the beginning, the Beisi and the military department had some problems in intelligence analysis and the deployment of military forces in the border fortress, which led to the inability of Yuyang County to withstand the impact of the grassland cavalry, and the Pengzhou army had no choice but to open the city gate and plan to disperse the opponent's forces and then break them one by one.

Later, the town of Shanggu County was directly destroyed, and the general of Shanggu at that time directly abandoned the city without making any resistance, and the military department did not even mention a word.

What's even more excessive is that in order to find someone to carry the black pot, they counted the entire Pengzhou army, resulting in the annihilation of tens of thousands of Pengzhou troops, and even lost Yuyang County.

How could this make Emperor Shengheng not be annoyed.

The most unbearable thing for Emperor Shengheng was that the matter of the Pengzhou army having exhausted had been spread to all parts of Dayu by the feudal town army and the feudal king army from all over the country.

Now the common people are pointing to the emperor for being mediocre, saying that his persecution of Zhongliang led to the fall of the country's mountains and rivers, and the people were wantonly slaughtered by foreigners.

There were even many places where the common people began to organize and prepare to write a book of ten thousand words, wanting to gather the feudal towns and vassal kings in various places to clear the monarch and punish the traitorous ministers.

Yanran has someone who wants to take advantage of this incident to prepare for a military mutiny.

And those idiots in the North Division and the Ministry of War have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and they are still proud of finding the blame for themselves.

However, due to the fact that the grassland tribes in the northern border are now connected to three county towns, a large number of grassland tribes have entered the Guannei situation and are extremely urgent, so it is not good for Emperor Shengheng to make a big move against the military department and the North Division at this time, so only a small number of people in the North Division and the military department were pushed out by Emperor Shengheng as a tool to calm the anger of the people.

And this includes Wu Hongjun, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and his arrogant son Wu Chengwen.

The reason why he was chosen was entirely because both of them were involved in this matter, and at the same time, their father and son were also relatively famous and stinky.

Over the years, the father and son have relied on their clan identities to do evil everywhere in the imperial capital, which has made the people and officials extremely disgusted.

So this time, Emperor Shengheng pushed the boat down the river and directly pushed the father and son out.

However, even so, the benevolent and righteous people everywhere still think that the great evil has not been eliminated, and the heroic soul is uneasy, and they still want to warn Emperor Shengheng.

Compared with Emperor Shengheng's anxiety, the grassland tribe's side felt a little proud of the spring breeze at this time.

Although the battle of Yuyang County was a battle, they lost more than 40,000 people, which made Mu Huali Falcon's flesh hurt.

But the final result was still acceptable to him, after all, it didn't take much effort to break through Yuyang County.

Later, when they went to attack Yunzhong County again, the defenders of Yunzhong County would commit suicide directly, and the other defenders and the people in the city would all abandon the city and flee.

Therefore, the county town in the clouds can be regarded as a bloodless victory.

After all three cities were taken, they quickly became the base camp of the grassland tribes, and then they set their sights on the imperial city of Dayu.

At the same time, the entire Dayu Dynasty is now circulating rumors that the grassland tribe is about to attack the Dayu Imperial Capital.

This rumor made the court and the people of Dayu extremely panicked, once the imperial capital was attacked by foreign tribes, the majesty of the imperial dynasty would be completely lost.

Now the Dayu Dynasty is already in decline, and various uprisings have emerged one after another.

Once the majesty of the Damu royal family is gone, the careerists of the entire dynasty will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, they will definitely take advantage of the situation, and in the end, the Dayu Dynasty will definitely be stormy and finally swallowed by the flames of desire of the careerists.

When the time comes, the society will be subverted, and the people will also fall into the quagmire of war.

Therefore, people of insight began to lobby the local feudal towns, jiedu envoys and vassal kings in various places, and asked them to quickly prepare the army and hurry up to the capital to guard the king.

In this regard, the reactions of the feudal envoys and feudal kings in various places were very different.

Some of the envoys and vassal kings were very indifferent to this, and they announced to the outside world that their armies had gone to the border to defend them, and now there were no other armies to deploy.

However, some of the envoys and vassal kings were very active, and they wrote to the emperor asking for an edict allowing them to expand their private military regulations.

However, whether they are indifferent or actively preparing for war, their intentions do not really care about the emperor and Dayu Sheji, and they only care about their own interests.

All of a sudden, the entire Dayu Empire was in the dust, making the people extremely frightened.

Many of the rich and wealthy people in the imperial capital now plan to escape from the imperial capital with their families, and when the time comes, the grassland tribes in the province will attack and suffer from the disaster of pond fish.

In this regard, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites kept posting notices to the people, stating that the imminent attack on the imperial capital by the grassland tribes was a lie made up by people with intentions, and it was the grassland tribe in order to shake the foundation of Dayu.

For this reason, Emperor Yu has arrested many people who spread the news, and these people have finally been accused of treason.

The grassland tribe did this in order to hit a large number of Dayu's forces to the imperial capital, so that they could do whatever they wanted in the hinterland of Dayu.

Many people are still quite convinced of this statement.

After all, the imperial capital of Dayu has been the imperial capital for almost four hundred years, and in the past three or four hundred years, no army has ever entered the imperial capital in Gaochishen, the imperial capital.

No matter how stupid the commander of the grassland tribe is, he will know the difficulty of attacking the imperial capital of Dayu.

What's more critical is that before they acted, the news that they were going to attack the imperial capital had already spread all over the sky, didn't this deliberately give Dayu time to defend the imperial capital?

Such a thing that makes it difficult for oneself is something that no one with a little brain will do.

And what they did was really like deliberately setting off smoke bombs, and their purpose seemed to be really deliberately mobilizing Dayu's army to assemble in the imperial capital.

In the palace of Dayu

"Your Majesty, we are sure that this news is indeed coming from within the grassland tribe."

A eunuch knelt in front of the dragon bed, burying his head and not daring to raise his head.

"Humph! This time, the grassland tribe thought that they were lucky enough to break through the three border fortresses of my Dayu and they were really invincible in the world, and they still wanted to break through the imperial capital of me, which was simply a toad devouring the sky, and their breath was so big that it was boundless. ”

Emperor Shengheng was lying on the dragon bed with his chest exposed, hugging left and right very comfortably.

"Now many ministers have secretly contacted and want to write to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty tour the south."

The eunuch continued to whisper.

"Hmph, since ancient times, most of the literati have soft bones, and it's really good, and before anyone else can call them, these guys have already scared out all the urine."

The emperor's face was full of disdain.

"Tell me what your eunuch's attitude is!"

The emperor turned his head and swallowed a dragon's eye in the beauty's hand, and then asked the kneeling eunuch leisurely.

"Your Majesty, now both the Northern Division and the eunuchs think that it is impossible for the grassland tribes to attack our imperial capital this time, and their greatest possibility is to loot a big one, seeing that the white plague in the north is getting closer and closer, the time for them to stay in my Dayu will be shorter and shorter, so as long as we hold out until the white plague comes, the grassland army will definitely retreat."

The eunuch said as he buried his head lower.

"Hmph, waste, you guys were paying attention to this early in the morning, right? It's a pity that the Pengzhou army on my side was wiped out by the whole army you pitted! ”

Emperor Shengheng's tone was still full of dissatisfaction, but he was powerless to return to the sky after the matter had come to this point.

"What Qiao Fuguang did this time was very unkind, and I wrote down this account for him, but Song Shunming's intelligence work this time was quite qualified, so let him make persistent efforts."

"Thank you for your grace!"

The eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and prepared to withdraw.

"By the way, tell Chen Boze to let him check the grassland spies in the imperial capital, don't really capsize the boat in the gutter."

Just as the eunuch was about to leave the palace, the voice of Emperor Shengheng came into his ears again.
