The sound of people and cars was mixed together, and the long queue was coming out of the three gates, and in order to avoid the disaster of war, many people went to other places along the official road.

Yanzhou, Yanjing.

Under the early summer sun, under the majestic and simple city wall, a large number of people and wealthy families in the city gather here, or say goodbye to each other, take their families, or pull up their belongings, and walk in the long crowd with maids, servants, and guardians.

Longyang was broken, the western barrier had been lost, and the next thing was Yanjing City.

Almost everyone saw this. The imperial court has been defeated repeatedly, no one dares to continue to stay, once the war is tight, many people will be called up by the army to assist in the defense of the city, these days, many people have heard about the Yantang Guan Qi family, for the emperor in the court, they have no reason to die for him.

Horse-drawn carts and ox-carts loaded with rich families scolding the courtyard and servants to disperse the crowd in front; A man with a child in his arms, leading his wife to avoid the brutal convoy; The ignorant child sat on his father's shoulder, pointing to the crowd and laughing.

This has been going on for two days.

Yanjing ordered Xu You to receive the order of the imperial court, sighed, and sent messengers to start counting the population of each household, prohibiting the people in the city from leaving.

Yanjing has become only allowed to enter but not to leave.

Under the order, the people in the city were even more panicked.

In the Taishi Mansion, there are not as many people in the Jianghu as before, and many people heard yesterday that dozens of masters in the sect were killed, and all of them hung up in the city to show the public, and secretly fled Yanjing at night.

Xiao Wenbi walked to the window of the study and looked at the maid who hurriedly ran through the rain curtain in the courtyard.

More than 60 good hands in the sect were sent over, and they didn't even kill a single general on the other side, so they all hung up on the city tower.

He knew that there was a huge difference between the battle in the rivers and lakes and the battle array, but this was too exaggerated, where did his little nephew recruit such a group of powerful generals.

Judging from the previous information, the general of Ding'an City is just a fat old pawn, and now there are more than a dozen generals, who are not only strong in martial arts, but also lead troops to fight.

For a moment, Xiao Wenbi believed that the little nephew had already secretly communicated with Wei Guo and received a large amount of funding from the other party.

In the past few days, the information from various states, the uprising of the people in the northwest and northeast, the rebellion of the slaves, and the advance of the rebels on the three routes made him shiver and chill that the building was about to fall.

He conscientiously planned the crown prince's accession to the throne, he was a very popular minister, and before his ass was hot, Yan Guo was about to be overthrown by his nephew, and all kinds of abilities were so crazy that the old man felt that what he had done in his life was a little unattainable.

It seems that at that moment, the story of the founding of the Yan Kingdom Taizu that he heard when he was a child and swept everything is about to reappear.

Xiao Wenbi felt a little sympathetic to Beigongye sitting on the dragon chair at this time.

As long as the Rongzhou rebel army in the west makes a slight move, the entire Yanzhou will inevitably be frightened, and the civil and military forces in the court and the son of heaven on the dragon chair will be unable to sleep at night, calculating the other party's next move.

Forced to this, even a fool knows to take action, and the last way left is to fight a real battle with the rebels in Yanzhou.

……

"Taishi!"

A voice outside interrupted the old man's thoughts, and outside the door was an old servant in the house, "There is news from the palace, Your Majesty has lost his temper today, smashed a lot of things, and killed a few little eunuchs." ”

"Why did Your Majesty lose your temper?" Xiao Wenbi went over and opened the door, "But is it because Longyang is lost?" ”

"The old slave doesn't know, the news from the palace didn't say."

"Well, go get the car back."

After sending away the old servant, Xiao Wenbi sighed, sorted out his robes, passed the intersection that led to the hidden courtyard, he took a look, and walked straight out of the Taishi Mansion, got into the carriage, walked through the street, and went to Suzaku Avenue.

The car body shook slightly, he lifted the corner of the curtain, and the outside was still lively, and the passers-by had a panicked look on their faces, or they were in groups of three or five in a small circle muttering and talking.

Pedestrians on the street have also sensed that war is looming.

A year ago, Kyushu Antai, Gyeonggi had 200,000 soldiers and horses, and it is hard to imagine that in just one year, it has become like this.

The panicked street passed, the carriage turned into Suzaku Avenue, and then drove into the imperial city, Xiao Wenbi saw the imperial city commander Che Jin, said a few words casually, and let the carriage enter the palace, which was the special treatment of the old man.

The emperor was in a palace in front of the back garden, and the carriage then stopped in front of the palace, and on the way over, the surrounding guards and eunuchs showed trembling, obviously the Son of Heaven vented his anger today and took the people around him.

Bang!

Before Xiao Wenbi went in, he heard the sound of porcelain smashing, he stepped over the threshold and walked in, and in the innermost tent, several palace maids came out with messy dresses and ran away from the old man with their arms around their chests.

"Your Majesty seems to know that the assassination failed." Xiao Wenbi walked to the seat on the side and sat down, took a sip of the warm tea, "I told you before that the teacher must not be merciful to the emperor, but I have not taught you that the emperor must not lose his mind." ”

"What does Master want to say? Say I'm going to be angry?! ”

The tent was opened, Beigong Ye walked out with a bare and strong upper body, he sat opposite the old man in sweat, his hands pressed his knees, and his eyes were fierce: "I take every step, what's wrong?" Eliminate those marquis and retract local power, this is what an emperor should do, and you have also taught those who are emperors to do whatever it takes! ”

The old man held the teacup and his eyes sank.

"Then Your Majesty has done whatever it takes, but what has he done? The feudal domain was cut, but there were rebels again. The Great Army Crusade! But the rebels are getting stronger and stronger, how can they cut the domain...... You are personally giving away Dayan! ”

Bang!

The emperor slapped the small table next to him with the tea on it, "I can say whatever you want, Master, then you tell me, Longyang has been lost, and the rebels are next to Yanjing, how should I deal with it?" ”

Xiao Wenbi looked at him, opened his mouth slightly, his voice was monotonous, and he confided.

"Hit!"

"Who's going to fight? Master, are you going to fight?! Beigong Ye was like a crazy wolf at this time, staring at the old man viciously, he stood up and walked back and forth.

"Hit ...... It's really going to be ...... If they don't fight again, the slaves will soon go south. ”

His tone paused, and his voice lowered slightly: "I'm angry today...... It was because of the envoys sent to the snow field, only one head was sent back, and the gold and silver I promised did not work, and now several large tribes of the slaves have jointly sent 12,000 troops...... In normal times, I don't let my eyes go, but they rebelled at this time, this is to rub salt on my wounds, they want to take advantage of Dayan's weakness, come over and take a bite! ”

Xiao Wenbi listened quietly for a while, and probably understood what he meant.

"Your Majesty wants to concentrate your forces first, first solve the rebels in Rongzhou, then go north to Pingsheng slaves, and finally solve a few rebellious Hou Ye on the East Road and South Road!"

"Those marquis, the soldiers are not strong, stay at the end!"

Beigongye closed his eyes, raised his face and breathed a few times, "There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, and the training is almost complete, and there is no need for an expedition, Yanjing's grain is enough to support more than two months!" ”

The old man nodded wordlessly, knowing that something would come after all, he didn't open his mouth to dissuade him, and accompanied the emperor to talk for a while, explained a few words, and then got up to leave.

Watching the old man walk out of the main hall, Beigongye suddenly snorted coldly, returned to the tent and sat down, under the pillar of the long case, he picked up a note and looked at it, his eyes were gloomy.

There were only four words on the note: Su Yong is not dead.

"Old thing!"

He cursed softly.

Soon after, the frightened and panicked Yanjing had shocking information that the emperor had ordered troops to quell the rebellion. All the armies in Gyeonggi began to mobilize, and the equipment and equipment could be inspected and repaired before the war.

The soldiers of the counties near Gyeonggi were also frantically transferred to Gyeonggi, and the three counties and seventeen counties around Yanzhou, except for the soldiers defending the city, the other soldiers gathered on the side of Yanjing after receiving the order.

Late May.

The entire Gyeonggi army was gathered, and standing on the city wall, there were boundless tents, including the Huben, Longxiang, Shengnu, Shibuya, Yanshan Iron Cavalry and other armies.

150,000 people gathered, and the daily consumption of grain and straw was already a huge astronomical amount, and countless people could be seen pulling carts and pushing flatbed carts in and out of the camp every day

On the 30th day of May, the emperor inspected the armies, and swore to sacrifice the flag, with Guo Xin, a veteran of the two dynasties, as the main commander, and the three armies were drawn out, and the mighty and mighty Longyang County in the west was crushed and killed.

……

On this day in early June, Su Chen looked at the news that the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses were pressing over, and there was a slave wearing a leather jacket and leather boots beside him. He arrived in Longyang County at noon yesterday, on behalf of the Snow Yuan tribe, he wanted to unite with Su Chen to discuss the matter of conquering Yanjing together, and he was only received today, and at the same time heard the news that the 150,000 troops of the imperial court had been killed.

"The general has won consecutive battles, we have also heard about it on the snow field, and now the imperial court has killed 150,000 troops for the sake of face, has the general ever thought of retreating?"

"If you don't withdraw, you can't withdraw." Su Chen looked at the map and didn't raise his head, "It's not easy to beat the majesty of the imperial court to a low point, if you withdraw, wouldn't it give him the possibility of resurrection!" ”

“…… The general was willing to join us in that proposal?! The messenger of the snow field did not hesitate, but was glad to hear the young commander say this, "The warriors of the snow field are brave and good at fighting, and when the general and the imperial soldiers and horses fight, we can insert the battle ...... from the north."

"Who said I was going to join forces with you?"

At this time, Su Chen raised his face and looked at the burly and tall snow messenger in front of him wearing a leather jacket and leather boots, "This is our own business within the Yan Kingdom, you better not get involved." ”

The brush that sketched the map was dropped, and Su Chen waved his hand.

"Dian Wei, send off!"
