785: The prologue to the unification of the world

Heavy rain has arrived.

The failure of the Northern Yan's slaughter plan announced that it was difficult to resist the attack of the Western Army, and most of the remaining ace iron cavalry of the Northern Yan were lost in this battle, and the heavy rain washed away the blood stains, and the wind spread the news of the defeat to Yandu.

Emperor Beiyan, who was anxiously waiting for the news of this battle in the palace, knew for the first time that only a few thousand remnants of the cavalry had returned to the imperial capital, and the rest were either chased to death, and most of them chose to flee.

Emperor Yan fell straight down, he roared in pain, and his expression was indescribably miserable: "Heaven is dead, my Beiyan!" ”

Murong Qi, the commander of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry who fled back, was covered in blood, kowtowed and cried: "Brother Huang, it's the incompetence of the younger brother, who has fallen into the trap of the Western Territory Army, please give death to the imperial brother!" ”

After a long time, Emperor Yan adjusted his emotions, and then Haosheng comforted his own brother who was a compatriot.

"If this plan fails, it is the destiny of heaven, pray brother, don't say death."

"I only have you as my own brother."

Murong Qi knelt on the ground and wailed.

Lie down at night and listen, the sound of wind and rain.

For the Northern Yan Imperial Capital, this storm came too unexpectedly.

It didn't take long for the news that the unsuccessful raid of the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Northern Yan led to the death of more than 20,000 people and the flight of thousands of people.

For a time, the people's hearts were panicked, and the national movement was unstable.

Everyone understands now, and now it has officially entered the countdown to the destruction of the imperial capital.

Northern Yan held a great court meeting every day, and the emperor convened his ministers to discuss how to deal with the army in the west.

But the ministers remembered what Lu Ze said before, and there were many courtiers who had already surrendered in their hearts, King Wuwei was a ruthless man who even Emperor Daliang dared to cut down in court, and in the face of what he said, the ministers of Beiyan had to take it to heart.

Emperor Yan naturally understood the thoughts of the ministers, and snorted coldly: "I am still the emperor of Northern Yan now, are you afraid that the one in the west will do what he says and take the lives of your whole family, aren't you afraid that I will connect your entire clan now?" ”

In order to maintain the stability of Kyoto, Emperor Yan chose to wield a butcher's knife in the past few days.

In the city of Yandu, blood and light are everywhere.

Among them even included the children of the Murong Sect, these people seemed to have correspondence with the Western Frontier Army, and Emperor Yan directly chose to kill the chickens and monkeys, without taking into account these descendants with the same surname as him.

But the killing did not completely kill the minds of the ministers, but only hid this mind to the depths.

Especially those powerful families in high positions don't want to be wiped out with the Northern Yan royal family.

The means by which these people contacted the Western Frontier Army became more secretive.

In the big tent of the Western Frontier Army, Lu Ze analyzed the information he received in the past few days with great interest.

Now Lin Yuyin is in charge of the secret intelligence processing of the Western Frontier Army, and the latter said directly: "Among these so-called surrendered people, there must be a bait deliberately thrown by the Emperor of Yan, and Emperor Yan's heart is ruthless enough, this is to want the prince to destroy all the magnates of Northern Yan." ”

Emperor Yan is also a ruthless existence.

He simply chose to go down in person and muddy the water directly, otherwise according to the strict control situation in Yandu today, it would be impossible for so many contact letters to be delivered.

To die, everyone to die together.

This is what Emperor Yan thinks now.

Lu Ze didn't care about lighting the many letters in his hand and threw them in the brazier of the big tent.

Seeing this, Lin Yuyin raised his eyebrows: "Lord Wang, don't you want to distinguish the truth from the fake?" If someone really wants to join us, wouldn't it..."

Lu Ze shook his head with a smile: "This plan was originally to make Beiyan mess up by himself, and now Emperor Yan himself has come down to smash the field, which is just right." ”

Lin Yuyin instantly understood what his lord meant.

The prince had no intention of trusting anyone in Yandu City at all.

"Beiyan is not Dayu, and the Emperor of Beiyan is not an old faint monarch, now that the army in the west is flourishing, just follow our own established rhythm, it is easy to take the imperial city of Northern Yan, so why borrow the hands of those Northern Yan magnates?"

Emperor Yan's actions were just drinking doves to quench his thirst.

Many of those people in Yandu may not really want to take refuge in Lu Ze, but they just want to be false and wronged, but Emperor Yan directly chose to block this road, if those powerful people faced Lu Ze, they would not dare to say much at all, but in the face of Emperor Yan, they would definitely have resentment.

Five days later, the western army approached the city and launched a general attack on Yandu.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Western Frontier Army successfully took the capital of the Northern Yan Emperor without much effort.

When the Western Iron Cavalry officially stepped into the gate of Yandu, there were many people in this imperial city who did not slow down, and Dayan, who was majestic in the north, was one day broken through the gate of the imperial city by the enemy, and the situation changed suddenly in just one year.

The sound of fighting resounded in everyone's ears.

When Emperor Yan in the palace was sleepy-eyed, he was woken up by the chief administrator of the Great Interior, and Emperor Yan, who fell asleep late at night, got up very angry, and reprimanded angrily: "Dog slave, what time is it now, you dare to disturb me without permission?" ”

The old eunuch trembled and said, "Your Majesty! Yandu City... It's broken! ”

"What did you say?!"

Emperor Yan only felt that his brain was spinning in an instant, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How is it possible? Yandu City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the nine guards of Gyeonggi and tens of thousands of troops are guarding the city gate, how can it be lost so quickly? ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Emperor Yan didn't believe this was true.

But when the sound of fighting sounded in the palace, the cold and cruel reality gave the emperor the heaviest blow, and the commander of the Nine Guards of Gyeonggi entered the palace with his wounds all over, and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Threshold has rebelled, the east gate has been lost, and the army of the western border has broken through the imperial capital, and now it is killing towards the palace." ”

"What?!"

Emperor Yan's face was pale and bloodless, he thought that everyone in Yandu City would rebel, even those princes of the Murong family, but he didn't expect that his own brother would rebel!

Murong Qi was the commander of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, and even after the decapitation operation failed that day, he was still in front of him, begging for death in pain.

He actually defected?

Rewind the clock to that rainy night.

More than 10,000 Northern Yan iron cavalry escaped from the trap set by Lu Ze, this Northern Yan ace iron cavalry has now been killed without half of their spirit, and one-third of the cavalry chose to be deserters, and did not choose to return to Yandu.

During this time, the dark cloud atmosphere that shrouded the Yan capital affected these Northern Yan cavalry at the same time.

Lu Ze personally led people to chase and kill, and finally caught a big fish.

The younger brother of the Emperor of Yan and the Marquis of Northern Yan, Murong Qi.

The middle-aged man was extremely embarrassed when he was caught, but he still raised his head high and said coldly: "If you want to kill or chop, listen to it." ”

Lu Ze broke through Murong Qi's psychological defense line with just one sentence.

"The direction you are walking in is not Yandu."

This Threshold Marquis actually had the idea of escaping.

Such a character finally played a big role in his attack on Yandu.

No one could have imagined that the commander of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry and the younger brother of Emperor Yan would be such a person.

After the imperial city was breached, the people in Yandu scolded one after another, and the ministers finally understood at this time why the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, the first cavalry in the world, was like a wine bag and rice bag in front of the Western Army.

A soldier bears a nest of bears!

The commander is this kind of person, do you still want the cavalry below to be any better?

The courtiers even scolded Emperor Yan.

What do you say you have to reuse this kind of person for?

Emperor Yan slaughtered himself in front of the Zhaoyang Palace.

The news soon reached Lu Ze's ears.

Lu Ze bowed slightly: "Emperor Yan is a person who is still a little bloody. ”

After the Western Army broke the city, as Lu Ze said, they began to kill the powerful above the six grades, and the ministers shouted: "We have helped King Wuwei through letters with the Western Army before, and you can't kill us!" ”

But the butcher's knife remains.

Lu Ze rode into the Northern Yan Palace.

Murong Qi looked at the body of the imperial brother lying in front of him, he seemed to cry instead of crying, and seemed to laugh instead of laughing: "Imperial brother, you shouldn't blame me, right?" ”

On this day, the surname of the Murong royal family was removed from Beiyan.

Beiyan changed hands.

The news soon spread back to Jinling City.

Lu Ze's ruthless methods in Beiyan made many powerful people in the imperial capital of Jinling feel a little chilled, and all the powerful clans of Northern Yan who were worthy of the name were slaughtered, and the two biggest opponents of Daliang, Dayu and Beiyan, fell one after another, and they could not escape the fate of destroying the country.

Xiao Jingyan has been on the throne for more than a year, and his face is more majestic, and he is no longer His Royal Highness King Jing, who was so frizzy at the beginning.

"Ministers."

"What do you think of the war in Beiyan?"

In the Wuying Palace, the atmosphere was a little dull.

Compared with the destroyed Dayu and Beiyan, the combat power of the army of Daliang is the lowest of the three, and now the western army led by King Wuwei has developed the trend of devouring the Central Plains.

Xiao Jingyan's face was extremely gloomy.

He didn't expect Beiyan to fall so quickly, and the country was wiped out in less than a year.

And Lu Ze showed more amazing things in this Eastern Crusade, no one knows what kind of hole cards King Wuwei still holds in his hand, Dayu and Beiyan have seen it personally, and these two countries are now destroyed.

"From now on, the girder will enter a state of readiness."

"The secretary of the household department, the secretary of the military department, and all the military marquis, after the end of today's court meeting, come to the Yangxin Palace to discuss the military situation and military resource scheduling."

In the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Li Lin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, reported on the current situation: "Back to Your Majesty, in addition to the garrisons that must be retained for security in various places, the number of troops that can be mobilized in Daliang has been counted, totaling 170,000. Among them, there are 100,000 marching troops and 70,000 garrison troops. ”

"Needless to say, how is the equipment of these 70,000 garrison troops?"

"It's okay, there are about 20,000 people with incomplete armor, but the military department still has stock, and it will be ready soon."

Xiao Jingyan sighed in his heart.

Compared with the Western Frontier Army, which is strong and strong, there are too few soldiers that can be used in Daliang now, and even the garrison is not well equipped, if it falls into a real battlefield battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the opponent.

Xiao Jingyan was originally born in the army, and he was able to clearly know the gap in military strength between the two sides from the battle report.

"What about money and food?

Shen Chai, the head of the household, immediately spoke, saying that there was no problem, and he had already come up with several proper fundraising methods.

Xiao Jingyan then looked at the military marquis, and said in a deep voice: "170,000 soldiers and horses... What do you think? ”

Several high-ranking military ministers who were summoned to discuss the meeting looked at each other, and it was difficult to speak for a while, these soldiers and horses were relatively not small, but the opponent was the Western Frontier Army led by King Wuwei, and everyone really had no confidence in their hearts, let alone thought of a coping strategy.

In the end, it was Chen Guogong who snorted and said: "Your Majesty, now that the war in the north has not started, at this time..."

Xiao Jingyan sneered a few times: "Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the next target of the Western Frontier Army is Jinling, why can't Chen Guogong and the military marquis see it?" Are you praying that your opponent won't attack? ”

"Your Majesty, it's not a cowardice of the ministers, but this only 170,000 soldiers and horses, how to deal with the elite generals and well-equipped army of the Western Frontier?"

The problem is not only presented in front of Xiao Jingyan.

At the same time, it was also presented in front of Su Zhaimei Changsu.

Nie Feng and his wife Xia Dong came to Su's house, and in the past few days, Nie Feng told the young marshal around him everything he saw and heard in Beiyan through his wife's mouth.

The behemoth-like army of the Western Frontier outlined the most realistic body shape in Mei Changsu's eyes.

This is an army that is even more fierce than the Red Flame Army back then.

Because the commander of this army is Lu Ze, the king of Wuwei.

The temperament of a commander will definitely be the temperament of an army to some extent.

Back then, under the leadership of Lin Xie, everyone was like brothers.

Meng Zhi, who had only been in it for a few months, was his biggest help after Mei Changsu entered Beijing, and Li Gang and Zhen Ping around Mei Changsu stayed by his side for many years.

Wei Zheng and Nie Feng regard the young marshal as more important than their own lives.

This is the temperament of the Red Flame Army.

And the temperament of the Western Frontier Army is brave and good at fighting.

This is the brilliance polished by the God of War in the Western Realm, casting iron blood and strength with a victorious attitude.

Girder is not an opponent.

This is the result of the unification after Mei Changsu has calculated thousands of times.

After Nie Feng and his wife left, Mei Changsu said to Lin Chen, who appeared in front of him: "Lin Chen, Wei Zheng brought two Ice Continuation Grass from the Medicine King Valley last time, this grass can't last long, you must have made it into Ice Continuation Pill, right?" ”

Lin Chen's face turned cold: "What are you going to do?" ”

The Young Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion turned his back and took two deep breaths and said, "No matter what you want to do, I won't give it to you." ”

"Daliang is different from Dayu and Beiyan, even if King Wuwei raises troops to the south, he will treat the people of Daliang well, because this is his root, Daliang may be shaky, but the people will not be displaced. Even Li Min Cangsheng can live a better life. ”

Lin Chen is very optimistic about Lu Ze.

Not only because he had the most powerful soldiers under him, but also because Lin Chen saw something in Lu Ze's hand that could change the world.

The fact that the Western Frontier Army has fought one after another has never had a problem with the supply of grain and grass can explain a lot of things.

"The common people will be fine."

Mei Changsu turned to mutter, "However, Jing Yan will die." ”
