Chapter 172: Sigu Sword Attack
In the city of Nanjing, Qin Ye brought 180,000 Qing troops into the city and implemented military management, while the remaining nearly 200,000 Qing troops camped outside the city to protect the left and right.
He actually considered slaughtering the city, after all, Nanjing City, a big city with a population of one million, it takes a lot of effort to control it, and it is also necessary to guard against the Northern Qi Dynasty and the outside world, and it is not impossible for the Northern Qi to recapture Nanjing City by the Northern Qi if he is not careful.
As the commander of the Qing army, he naturally received the news of Dongyi City's reinforcements.
It is inevitable that the enemy will be attacked on the back, and it is necessary to clean up the city of Nanjing as soon as possible.
However, Zhao Yun bluntly disagreed with the slaughter of the city, he believed that some high-ranking officials and nobles could be killed, but the common people should not act arbitrarily.
Qin Ye was naturally a little angry, but at this moment, he didn't know what attitude to communicate with Zhao Yun.
As a veteran nine-rank master, the day he broke the city, he felt Zhao Yun's terrifying grandmaster aura.
How terrible a genuine great master is, if he really wants to kill him with one shot, it will be difficult to investigate, and it is not even possible to say that Emperor Qing will be appeased with good words.
What especially puzzled him was that there had always been a number of great masters in the world.
Why has such a strange and young great master frequently appeared in recent times?
It is enough that there is a Li Gaoming in Kyoto, and there is another Zhao Yun in the northern camp.
When did the Grand Master become so cheap?
Moreover, he couldn't be sure, Zhao Yun disguised himself as Qipin to join the army, what was he thinking, and who was standing behind him?
He naturally didn't believe that Zhao Yun was really a seven-rank when he joined the army, because no one could step from a seven-rank to a great grandmaster in just a few months.
It's just that such a character is actually willing to be promoted step by step through military merit from the bottom.
Figure what?
After all, as long as he shows the cultivation of the great master, he will immediately be a guest of honor in various countries, and his status is transcendent.
You must know that even he, the general of Qingguo, is inferior to a great master in terms of status.
This made him feel a little uneasy.
No matter how you look at it, this person seems to have been deliberately sent to replace his existence.
Qin Ye has a lot of experience, but he really can't tell Zhao Yun's origin and details.
Moreover, looking at Zhao Yun's resume now, the mediocre resume information seems to be a little meaningful.
If you can disguise a person's resume so truthfully, and even hide it from the household department and the military department, he must be a big man in the court.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally gave up his plan to slaughter the city, but he would not be able to keep some of the remaining dignitaries of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Nanjing.
Zhao Yun has no opinion on this.
He stopped Qin Ye from slaughtering the city so that when Li Chengqian would dominate the world in the future, there would be less resistance from the people.
Moreover, in the previous life, he was the general of Shu Han, and Liu Bei, the lord of Shu Han, was known for his benevolence, although now his lord is no longer Liu Bei, he does not want his lord to be stained with too much blood on his hands in the future.
After that, Zhao Yun did not participate too much in the affairs of the Qingjun.
He naturally saw Qin Ye's complicated thoughts, and he didn't intend to pay attention to this, now he just needs to train his troops, guard Nanjing City, and then wait for the will of the imperial court.
The Battle of Lishan and the Battle of Nanjing, the great exploits of the two battles, were enough to win him enough weight to commend.
He believed that Li Chengqian, who was far away in Kyoto, must have arranged everything.
Outside the Sword Gate, on a secluded slope, two figures stood quietly.
One of them is the Northern Qi National Teacher Kuhe.
Another middle-aged man in sackcloth, who was not tall and wore sackcloth, had a cold face, and in his eyes, a sharp intent could almost pierce the sky.
"The city was destroyed in one day, and it was really a bunch of waste."
He said coldly, without looking at Beiqi in his eyes at all.
Kuhe's face was slightly gloomy, and he said slowly: "Sigu Sword, you don't have to take advantage of this tongue, in addition to Sigu Sword, there is also a great master who makes a gun in Qing***, not under you and me, no one is guarded, cai."
This person directly broke through the city gate and led people into Nanjing City."
In fact, although the Great Grandmaster is strong, he is also flesh and blood.
If the Northern Qi Dynasty was prepared, with all kinds of sharp weapons to defend the city, coupled with tens of thousands of crossbow arrows to block, even if the city of Nanjing would eventually be broken, it would not be powerless to return to the sky in such a short period of time.
Si Gu Jian smiled sarcastically, but his heart was also a little more solemn.
The Grand Master of Qingguo is inevitably a little too much.
He had infiltrated Kyoto three times and wanted to attack Emperor Qing, but each time he was frightened by an unfamiliar aura of the Great Grandmaster.
Not long ago, in Kyoto, a great master Li Gaoming who could cut half a lake with a sword was born, and now there is another great master of marksmanship in the Qing army.
Coupled with Ye Liuyun, a veteran grandmaster, a Qingguo actually has four great grandmasters.
When it comes to the realm of the great grandmaster, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, if it is not three to one, almost no one can be sure of victory.
Now even if he joins forces with Northern Qi, how can he be an opponent in a two-on-four situation?
Four Great Grandmasters, how blessed Nanqing by God!
There was a bit of violence in his eyes, and as a great grandmaster, he also felt that it was a little too unfair.
Especially when Ye Qingmei abandoned Dongyi and chose Nanqing, he still can't let go.
"After so many years, the old man's bones have rusted, and now that he has come out, he has moved his muscles and bones."
His voice was cold, and when his words fell, he set off directly and galloped towards the direction of Nanjing City.
Kuhe groaned for a moment, and then went directly to follow.
He had actually realized that even if Sigu Jian came here, it would be difficult for Northern Qi to recapture Nanjing City.
After all, there are also two great masters in the Qing army now.
But it is necessary to show strength.
Even, if it is possible, killing the great master in the Qing army may not be impossible to recapture Nanjing City.
Subsequently, with the help of this momentum, the alliance was re-established, and it was sure that it would be able to obtain great advantages for the Northern Qi in the negotiations.
Two to four is not good, two to three, he is full of confidence.
As soon as he thought of this, a terrifying killing intent surged in the eyes of Kuhe, who had always been peaceful.
"Oh no, General, Four, Sigu Sword and Bitter Lotus are here!"
A herald rushed into Qin Ye's camp in a hurry.
Qin Ye's complexion changed greatly, but he immediately calmed down and said loudly, "Have you notified General Zhao Yun?"
The herald shook his head and said, "Not yet, I came to see you as soon as possible."
Qin Ye immediately said, "Go and inform General Zhao Yun." As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment and said, "No need, I'll go and ask for it myself."
In the face of the two great masters, although he had hundreds of thousands of troops available, the huge city of Nanjing, scattered, could guard his side with a maximum of thousands of people.
If the two great grandmasters want to join forces to kill him, these people are afraid that they will not be able to stop him at all.
However, when he hurried to Zhao Yun's camp, it was empty.
He hurriedly asked, "What about General Zhao?"
"General Zhao is already out of the city!"
