Chapter 107: The Fall of the City
Qi Yuan frowned at her, as if he felt that she was no longer the carefree little girl she was a few years ago.
"Do you really want to ruin the Chu country?"
"Qi Yuan, the Tao is not the same, you do things for Meng Yao, and now you are my enemy, what kind of family is ruined and destroyed by the enemy talking to me, why should I do what you wish?"
Qi Yuan snorted lightly when he heard this.
"Yes, you and I are enemies now......"
It's just that the world is impermanent, Meng Qing is gone, and Meng Qing is also reversed.
Her eyes lit up slightly and said: "Master Hou is at his own convenience, His Royal Highness will not be far away." ”
Seeing her resolute attitude, Qi Yuan didn't continue, he closed his eyes and showed a relieved smile, but it was bitter.
"The minister will retire."
Qi Yuan got up, saluted and left.
Within half a month of his departure, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou began to counterattack, and Meng Qing simply led 20,000 horses and retreated to the mouth of the gorge.
After the Jingzhou soldiers recaptured Bazhong, Meng Qing raised troops to attack at night and set a fire to burn Jingzhou's grain and grass.
Unexpectedly, there was not much grain and grass left, and Meng Qing marched into Bazhong again.
Back and forth, January has passed.
It was expected that now Meng Zhiyan should slowly approach the sneak attack from the Meridian Road, and Xiao Yan's main force also took three counties to continue the attack.
The men and horses sent by Yujing to help Jingzhou learned overnight that the Meridian Road and the Xiegu Road were all sneak attackers, and Meng Yao could only sit in the palace and be overwhelmed.
As soon as Meng Zhiyan attacked him, he retreated back and went to support Meng Tingchuan, who delayed for Xiao Yan to attract Yujing's attention.
Xiao Yan went all the way east, passed the test, and went all the way forward.
Meng Yao, who learned about the plan, knew that after Meng Qing withdrew his troops from Bazhong, he transferred troops from Jingzhou to block Xiao Yan, and he knew that he fell for Meng Qing's plan again.
Meng Qing, the enemy came and I retreated, and the enemy retreated and I made a move to beat the Jingzhou soldiers tired enough, so they simply carried out a sneak attack in the dead of night, directly burned down the enemy's camp, and smoothly marched north.
Xiao Yan and Meng Tingchuan's side was also very smooth, blocking the enemy army for a while with 20,000 or 30,000 men, Xiao Yan's extremely high command ability successfully led the main force to Meixian County, and annihilated the enemy army in one fell swoop.
When Meng Yao first ascended the throne, he did not have the prestige of the princes, and naturally no one was willing to send troops to help, and there were 200,000 frontier troops stationed on the border of Chu and Jin, and they could not be transferred at will, so they could only mobilize the garrisons of Jingzhou and Yujing.
……
Two months later.
Beacon fire, Meng Qingshun and Xiao Yan Meng Tingchuan will meet and Yu Yujing outside the capital.
On the January days, the city was covered with snow, and the snow on the soil melted and penetrated into it, and the 80,000 soldiers and horses gathered outside the city, and the bell rang inside the city wall.
After half a year, she finally returned to this city, the throne she had been thinking about for a long time.
Meng Qing wore a dark colored cardigan robe, wrapped in a white fox ferret scarf, an ink cloak hanging down to her ankles, a hosta carved from black ore on her head, and her sideburns fluttered in the wind, cold and elegant.
Because of the long journey, the cold wind was cold, and the tip of the girl's nose and chin floated a faint layer of snow pink, like a young white rabbit.
On such a cold day, Xiao Yan didn't ride a horse, but hid in a long-eaves car with a stove and a big hat, which was much more comfortable than Meng Qing.
She silently rolled her eyes in her heart.
This makes Xiao Yan the master, she is like a former military pioneer.
Seeing that Yujing was dead and silent, the generals in the city were reluctant to open the city gate, and they were also ready to die together, so Meng Qing immediately ordered.
"Kill!"
After speaking, the soldiers charged forward, and the soldiers approached the city, and for a time the smoke of war was filled, the long ladder was full of people, and there were corpses lying under the city tower.
Under the push and collision of the soldiers, the wooden stake desperately slammed into the city gate, the sword and sword shadows were lightning and flint, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening.
Meng Qing lowered his eyes and shouted, "The guards in the city listen!" If you are willing to take the initiative to surrender and open the city gate now, your Royal Highness can spare your life and give the third class from the dragon's work, if you are desperately guarding, wait for the city gate to fall, no one will be left! ”
When the guards in the city heard this, they all discussed whether to open the city gates.
After all, this is 80,000 people, and there are only 10,000 people in the city, how can they fight?
The guard Chen Muzhi watched the brothers die in the battle one by one, he gritted his teeth, "Open the city gate!" Surrender! ”
"Commander!"
The lieutenant general defending the city was full of astonishment.
Immediately afterwards, the order to surrender spread instantly, and the white flag was waved in the city.
The attacking Shu army stopped attacking, only waiting for the city gate to open and enter the king of Neiqin.
Suddenly there was light again in the gray sky, and the scarlet gates slowly opened under the gaze of 80,000 people, and the dawn of victory beckoned to them at this moment.
After the city gate was opened, Meng Qing led the army forward, and after entering the door, he saw Chen Muzhi leading the rest of the soldiers to kneel down in front of Meng Qing.
"The last general, Chen Muzhi, led his troops to welcome His Highness into the city!"
Immediately afterwards, thousands of soldiers defending the city followed: "Welcome Your Highness to the city!" ”
Meng Qing looked up at the sky.
All of this is coming to an end......
She stepped forward to help Chen Muzhi up, "Hurry up, General Chen's willingness to surrender is a great achievement, and General Chen will definitely be rewarded after His Highness ascends the throne." ”
"Soldiers, please get up!"
After that, more than 1,000 soldiers of Wuyang stood up one after another and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
"Now that the southern city has fallen, there are still three cities in the east, west, and north that have not been notified, and General Chen is invited to go to the simultaneous interpretation."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Meng Qing retracted with a smile, and his eyes turned to the palace not far away, unswerving.
"All the soldiers, follow me into the palace!"
"Enter the palace! Enter the palace! ”
She turned over and jumped on her horse, and led 80,000 soldiers to the palace on horseback.
Throne room.
When the soldiers approached the palace, the sound of horses' hooves and the harsh sound of weapons rubbing came and went.
Meng Yao was already in a hurry in the palace, and hundreds of officials gathered to think about countermeasures.
Seeing that the army was overwhelmed, she could only sit here empty, thinking of useless things......
The emperor who has been sitting for these months......
She suddenly went crazy, "What is there to cling to now......"
There were many discussions among the hundreds of officials in the Jinluan Palace, and some persuaded Meng Yao to surrender and ask for abolition; Some persuaded Meng Yao to flee quickly and make a comeback......
Suggestions are endless.
Even the most outrageous one was to persuade her to flee to Jizhou, abandon Yujing, and build the capital in Jizhou.
Not long ago, the news came that Chen Muzhi had rebelled and opened the city gate and knelt down to meet the enemy, and Meng Yao knew that he was out of play......
Outside the hall, the sound of military boots was bursting, dark clouds pressed the realm, and a strong oppressive atmosphere came silently, and soon the outside was surrounded like a hornet's nest.
Seeing this, the officials trembled and approached Meng Yao's dragon chair.
The door of the Jinluan Palace was wide open, and the generals moved forward with swords and took down the hundred officials and palace maids and eunuchs.
Xiao Yan led Meng Qing into the palace gate, followed by King Yong's father and son and He Xu's father and son.
In the main hall, there is still a sense of resplendor in the past, only a few imperial thrones and messes are left.
Meng Qing looked at the woman on the dragon chair.
She smiled: "Second sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”
