Chapter 370: Grinding the Wheel

A few days ago, he said that he would enter Chang'an in three days, but after waiting for three days and three days, the Chen army surrounded Liyang, and Chang'an was still deadlocked, no wonder the emperor was in a hurry. Old Murong also has no choice, now he can still pat his chest and say that he will capture Chang'an, but it will take time, right?

On the one hand, this Wang Rail is indeed a bit tricky, he burned the three bridges in Weishui, and sent people to dig ice every day to warn Qi people to cross the river. On the side of the Qi army, because the army turned into the hinterland of the Zhou State by land, it brought light small boats, but there was no large warship, but this winter was particularly cold, the ice on the river surface was frozen a foot thick, and a good section of the river still needed to go down to break the ice first, and it had to sink when it touched a slightly larger piece of ice floe.

Moreover, the carrying efficiency of such a small boat is too low to play a role.

Yang Su didn't think about finding a remote place to quietly cross the river, but Wang Liang had various small battalions within a radius of five miles from Chang'an, and when he found that a small group of Qi people was approaching, there were scouts who formed a team to intercept and kill without his order...... Fighting in the open plains, the scattered foot soldiers will never be the opponents of the cavalry, and Yang Su can only watch the soldiers who crossed the river being intercepted and killed by the Zhou army, but he has no way at all, he can only stare dryly!

On the other hand, Liyang and the nearby Gaoling have not yet been leveled, and Wang Qian, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is still leading the remnants of the army to resist stubbornly...... In the heavy snowy weather, it was difficult for men and horses to travel, and the Qi army did not dare to fight lightly because the successor baggage had not yet arrived. And Wang Qian cleared the wilderness, burned the surrounding villages, and didn't care whether the people lived or died, only letting the Qi army get a grain of grain.

Wang Qian has his own intentions in this hand, he is the master of the westward expedition, flaunting himself as a righteous teacher, in order to win the hearts of the people, doesn't he say "freeze to death without demolishing the house, starve to death without plundering"?

Whether it is a righteous division is still up for debate, but Qi Jun really did not commit any crimes wherever he went, presumably Qi Lord Gao Wei really had a little love for the people...... However, this kind of practice of treating the people of Zhou as his own people is really unpleasant.

Since this is the case, Wang Qian is no longer polite. Don't you love the people like a son? Then you don't care about the food, clothing, and lives of the hundreds of thousands of chaotic people north of Weishui?

Wang Qian only cares about burning, killing and looting, as for the life and death of the people, he will not care, he is about to use these people as a bargaining chip to contain Gao Wei, not only robbed them of their food, but also used troops to drive these people to the direction of the Qi army camp like pigs...... When the Qi army heard the news, they were dizzy by the impact of this group of chaotic people, and the soldiers were hindered by the emperor's strict order not to cruelly abuse the people, and they were trapped by the overwhelming refugees for a while, and they couldn't move.

Wang Qian waited for the opportunity to come out, caught the Qi army by surprise, and rode away after cutting more than 100 ranks. Murong Yan and the emperor were furious when they heard the news, and asked Yang Su and Murong Sanzang to work together to kill this fang!

Wang Qian thought that he had a plan, and let the Qi army attack, and he cooperated with the Gaoling garrison to hold the city.

But Wang Qian made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that he didn't die under the attack of the Qi people, but died in the hands of his own people...... Here's the thing:

Wang Qian is a respectful person, but he is actually stubborn and self-serving, and his temperament is quite vicious. If you talk about talent, he doesn't have much talent, all by virtue of his father Wang Xiong's military exploits to get promoted to a high position, his father is in the battle, especially favored, is awarded as the general of the pillar country, the prince of Yongguo.

This is the typical second generation.

When Yuwen Yong was just defeated, Wang Qian was guarding Jingyang, and when he heard that the Qi soldiers were coming, he simply abandoned the city and fled, who knew that Wang Rail actually burned the bridges of the Wei River first, and he turned to Liyang, and wanted to cross the river from Liyang, at this time Yuwen Yong just had a whereabouts, and Wang Rail forced him to stay in Weibei by the will of the East Palace. Wang Qian hesitated at first, and some wanted to simply surrender to the Qi people, but later received a letter from Yuwenyong, saying that the imperial court was going to move the capital, and asked Wang Qian to hold on a little more......

The letter was full of threats and persecution, reassurance, and vows, Wang Qian was really tempted, and stayed in Liyang to prepare to prevent Qi people. Wang Qian fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness, expelled the refugees to the side of the Qi people, and received a certain effect in a short period of time, Wang Qian was also very beautiful in his heart, thinking that after a period of time, he would be able to calmly return to Chang'an, and withdraw with the large army.

But this dream shattered as he did it.

No, it's never to wake up again.

On the night when Yang Su stormed Gaoling and forced Liyang, Wang Qian was killed by his subordinates in his own tent, and the soldiers cut off his head, and ran to the Qi army to surrender the city overnight...... It turned out that Wang Qian was in charge of affairs, and he often whipped and scolded his subordinates, and his subordinates were already dissatisfied with him.

Wang Qian has no talent, no virtue, no prestige, and a typical three-no, but he still wants to kill the people, which makes the generals and soldiers in the camp extremely dissatisfied. So a few bold people discussed, and while Wang Qian was asleep at night, they sneaked into the tent and beheaded Wang Qian......

This is simply a story in a book!

Although the whole process of the mutiny was not unwitnessed, no one reported it in advance, let alone stopped it. Obviously, this Wang Qian is really chilling, and the patrolling people see it as if they don't see it, and they are blind!

Yang Su ordered people to reward these people, and sent troops over to receive Liyang.

As soon as Wang Qian died, Gaoling's Zhou army also surrendered, and Liyang, the thorn in the eye that had plagued the Qi army for a long time, was taken down overnight...... When the news reached the emperor, the emperor was also stunned for a moment, and along with the news of the great victory, Wang Qian's head also came.

Gao Wei ordered someone to open the box and take a look, and waved his hand in disgust to make people withdraw. He silently walked around the refugee camp silently, silently, and the ministers accompanying him did not know what the emperor was thinking at this time, and did not dare to congratulate him lightly for the time being...... These days, because of the concern about the Huainan war situation, Liyang and Chang'an have not been able to attack for a long time, the emperor's temperament is becoming more and more perverse and moody, and the ministers dare not speak indiscriminately, so as not to touch the emperor's brow.

However, the capture of Liyang is definitely a great joy, why does the emperor still look full of worries? The ministers quietly looked away, and saw the corners of the emperor's mouth quietly hooked, and said, "Okay, it's finally ...... I didn't live up to my trust. As soon as Liyang goes, Chang'an will be under my attack on three sides, and the day when I eradicate the Zhou State and unify the north and south is not far away. ”

The emperor was dressed in a black regular dress, not wearing a big hat, only dressed as an ordinary scribe, although he was a little thin, but he was lined with this grand style. When talking about the great cause of dominating the world, his eyes are even more scorching, as if he wants to burn everything in front of him to ashes, so that people dare not look at him.

"Here, I also have a box, guess whose head is this?"

As soon as Gao Wei's words fell, another attendant came up with a box, and everyone was puzzled, but no one stepped forward to open it. Gao Wei glanced back and said:

"This is the head of Xin Wei, he fled to Luonan and was chased and killed by the Lanling royal brother...... Not only that, but before that, because Yuwenshu's father Yuwensheng was killed by the Zhou lord, Xin Wei and Yu Wenshu had already secretly quarreled, so this time he was able to kill Xin Wei, most of which was due to Yuwenshu's credit. He has come to the table, and he has surrendered to me. ”

"That's why I have the confidence to say that the great cause can be expected, and the world is ...... Sooner or later, it will be unified in my hands! ”

Liang Rui, Dou Yi and others as ministers were actually among the close ministers, and when they heard the emperor say this, they immediately flattered him: "Your Majesty is a true dragon, cutting down the pseudo-Zhou, conquering the Turks, illuminating the ancestors and ancestors, just the Yuwen clan and the Southern Dynasty Chen Ji, but the defeated dog on the side of the road, it must not be Your Majesty's opponent......"

"You don't understand what I mean, you think I'm fighting for myself?" Gao Wei interrupted them, turned to the other side, put his hands behind his back, and said to himself: "It has been nearly three hundred years since the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south and the land of Shenzhou fell apart, and countless heroes and heroes since then are all looking forward to seizing the world and achieving a great unified dynasty with long-term peace and stability and a feast on the Haiqing River. ”

Gao Wei stood in the wind and snow, looking at the mountains and rivers in the south, the sky and the earth were white, and the cold wind was slaughtering.

His eyes seemed to be flickering with swords and swords, and countless blood and fire were interpreted in his gaze, "Mountains and rivers are broken, and soldiers are rising...... One hero often has not yet risen before he is trampled under the feet of another hero, and everyone ...... Whether it is a scholar or a common people, they are all pushed into the abyss by this era! The dreams and happiness of countless people have been crushed into powder by the mad war machine...... It is everyone who is forcibly inflicted by pain! ”

"Anyway, there has to be a person who comes out to clean up the mountains and rivers and complete the mission of unifying the world, so why can't this person be me? So...... I'm standing here, so ...... I'm here to get Chang'an! The emperor turned around and looked over, the killing intent in his eyes was undiminished, and the anger was monstrous, but the tone of his voice was flat.

There's a lot of anger suppressed in the blandness, like saying, 'This thing shouldn't be yours, so I'll take it'.

In the wind, in the snow, he said:

"Yuwen Yong dared to stand in front of me, I killed Yu Wenyong, Chen Wei dared to stop me, and I killed Chen Yong as well...... It's been 300 years...... That's enough! It's time to finish! ”

At this time, even the wind and snow were stagnant, and the ministers were awe-inspiring and subconsciously stood up.

The emperor stood under the snowy sky, at this time on the snowy ground, the war was still spreading, and the smoke was not extinguished at this time, but the man in front of him stood here, as if he had depicted a glorious future for the future world!

On the 24th, Duan Decao led the army from Weinan to Chang'an, Yuwen Yong and Wang Liang hurriedly confronted each other, and more than 100,000 troops crossed the Wei River and slowly pressed towards Chang'an!

The sky is silent, the earth is silent, for nearly three hundred years, this ancient land has sunk in the dark night of history, and the innocent people of one era after another have been swept up in it, trembling under the golden iron horse, wailing under the poison of war!

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and the foundation of the emperor's industry will be built on the accumulated white bones of the common people! Three hundred years later, this chaotic night has finally seen a glimmer of light, let it end!

Duan Decao narrowed his eyes, his gaze crossed the hazy snow curtain, countless figures formed an array, pressing up towards this side, Duan Decao snorted lightly, urging the war horse to move forward slowly...... At the end of the sixth year of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the flesh and blood mill of war was running again, and whoever stood in front of it would be crushed!
