Chapter Eighty-Five: Dishonored Promises

Outside the city of Kyoto, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and a large number of forbidden troops and the banners of the Jizhou and Yuzhou armies flew one after another.

"General, their reinforcements are coming."

One of the soldiers who had climbed the tower raised his mouth in surprise and pointed in the direction of the crowd outside the city.

When Zhang Wei heard the prestige, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

The city of Kyoto has been unable to be attacked for a long time, and the Wanzhou army has been dragged down, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, they have become a turtle in the urn.

Wanting to know this, Zhang Wei could only grit his teeth fiercely and point at Qin Yu, who was besieged.

"Take down the Emperor."

As Zhang Wei's voice fell, all the officers and soldiers of the Wanzhou Army around him rushed forward with all their strength.

But the news of the arrival of reinforcements had spread in Kyoto, and many forbidden soldiers wept with joy and burst out with a strong desire to survive.

And Emperor Qin Yu also saw Wang Meng and a group of Jizhou and Yuzhou soldiers who came to support him at this time, and he was ecstatic.

"All the soldiers, follow me to kill and catch the thieves."

The Wanzhou army and the defenders in Kyoto City each broke out with a fierce force, and for a while, swords and swords flew on the city tower, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

With the passage of time, the Wanzhou army has not been able to eat the hard bone of the forbidden army, but the reinforcements outside the city have gradually hit the tower.

The balance of victory has quietly tilted, and many Anhui soldiers have fallen to the ground one after another, while the forbidden army defending the city on the opposite side has become more and more courageous.

"General, run away."

With the hoarse shouts of his subordinates, Zhang Wei was a little stunned.

Since the army in Wanzhou, he has no way to retreat, and with the arrival of reinforcements, Kyoto has been unable to take it for a while.

But if he escapes, where can he flee with the remnants of the defeated army in Wanzhou?

For the advice of his subordinates, Zhang Wei did not say a word, and walked step by step with a three-foot long sword to the front of the killing, and met the Kyoto forbidden army that resisted to the death.

The meat grinder-like battlefield was full of blood foam, and people on both sides continued to fall, but the siege of the Wanzhou army was already defeated on both sides.

Attacking and defending aliens, Zhang Wei smiled bitterly, the siege of Kyoto had failed, and then he would have to pay the price of raising troops.

Looking at the forbidden army and the soldiers of Jizhou and Yuzhou who were constantly attacking the city, the Wanzhou army was no longer able to return to the sky.

"Run, run."

"Raising troops into Beijing is my greed, and it has nothing to do with you."

"I am already a mortal man, and you must take care of your life."

Zhang Wei trembled and said slowly to the soldiers who followed him, and his sincere words revealed a different kind of desolation.

But the accompanying soldiers listened to Zhang Wei's words, and basically none of them were obedient and fled alone, and they still continued to protect their lords.

At the end of his rope, Zhang Wei looked at the subordinates around him who would never abandon him, and suddenly felt some remorse.

If he hadn't listened to the rumors and rebelled, none of these loyal soldiers would have died, and they could all live their peaceful lives in the remote Anhui Prefecture.

But there is no if for anything in the world, defeat is defeat, and they all have to pay the corresponding price.

Just when Zhang Wei was stunned, the voice of Emperor Qin Yu slowly came into his ears.

"Zhang Wei, it is your own crime to rebel."

"Now I can spare your Wanzhou soldiers."

Listening to Qin Yu's cold words, Zhang Wei suddenly felt an inexplicable relief.

"If self-determination can protect the soldiers of Wanzhou, what does it matter if you want my life?"

Immediately, Zhang Wei roared and brazenly drew his sword to kill himself.

"General."

Seeing this, all the officers and soldiers of the Wanzhou army hid their faces and wept bitterly, and even many of them committed suicide directly to follow their generals.

Qin Yu looked at the sad scene in front of him, and felt that Zhang Wei was a little tragic.

A scholar, in charge of power.

But as the world continues to strife, his inflated ambition gradually makes him swallowed by desire, but he pities his loyal subordinates who pay for his own selfishness.

The floating corpse floats on the oar, and the bones will be dry.

With the death of Zhang Wei, a generation of heroes, the farce-like Kyoto Rebellion came to an end.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the Wanzhou army besieging Kyoto was killed and disarmed, and the city defense of Kyoto also fell into the hands of the forbidden army led by Wang Meng.

The government soldiers from Jizhou and Yuzhou who came to support did not enter the city, but were stationed directly outside the city, and only the governors of the two states and some high-ranking generals were able to enter Beijing to face the saint.

The negligent palace looked quite dirty, Qin Yu was sitting on the dragon chair in the middle at this time, and below him were Wang Meng and a group of foreign generals who rushed to support.

"The rebellion in Wanzhou has been put down, and the generals of King Qin are all my ministers of the humerus."

"But there are still disputes in the world, and you Aiqing should be encouraged."

"In addition to Wanzhou, Qingzhou Governor Lu Yaoliang is also ready to move."

"From today onwards, Jizhou and Yuzhou should do their best to fight together with the soldiers and horses of the state, so as to order not to be subordinate."

As Qin Yu's voice fell, the generals from other states below began to talk in a whisper, but the forbidden army led by Wang Meng was unmoved.

Yuzhou Governor Meng Qinghao's eyes were rolling at this time, as if he was plotting in his heart The deep meaning of Qin Yu's words, while Jizhou Governor Xia Cheng was expressionless, as if everything was in his chest.

Looking at the two people with different colors in the audience, Qin Yu just supported his chin and continued to sit on the dragon chair, waiting for them to digest it by themselves.

Now it is the forbidden army of his confidants who is guarding Kyoto, and the situation is under his control, but he is not afraid that the two of them will have other ideas.

Now that Zhang Wei of Wanzhou is dead, Wanzhou south of Kyoto can no longer pose a threat, and in the face of the righteousness of the imperial court, it is only a matter of time before the six counties of Wanzhou are controlled.

But he didn't want King Qin's meritorious Jizhou and Yuzhou to get a piece of the pie, and embezzled the land of Anhui Prefecture with his merits.

At this time, when he let out his words, he gave them a reason to crusade against Qingzhou, which means that I gave you the right to conquer Qingzhou, and whether you can expand the territory depends on your own ability.

But now everyone knows that there are now civil uprisings in Jizhou and Yuzhou, and they are simply unable to organize troops to carry out conquests.

This is like a blank check, hanging Meng and Xia, who hold the military power in their hands, but they have no reason to refuse.

Yuzhou borders Wanzhou, so Yuzhou Governor Meng Qinghao also has the opportunity to see if he can fish in troubled waters and enter Wanzhou.

But now Qin Yu has withstood the siege of the Wanzhou army in Kyoto, and Wang Meng's forbidden army has arrived together, and he has lost the capital to resist the order.

But Xia Cheng of Jizhou has an indifferent attitude towards this, first of all, Jizhou and Wanzhou do not border, and King Qin is just to prevent Wanzhou from having the opportunity to hold the Son of Heaven hostage.

Now that I got a blank check from Qin Yu, it's better than nothing.

After announcing his retreat from the dynasty, all the generals in the hall led their troops away, only Qin Yu sat on the dragon chair and watched the departing people thoughtfully.

With the rebellion in Anhui, the whole of Bactria was already in turmoil, and the successive declarations of autonomy in the southern states had nominally torn the whole country apart.

No one can see what the future holds.
