South of the Feiyan Pass of Qi State.

Daihara-gun.

The dusk sun falls on the foothills, the golden mountains and forests are mixed with a little tender green, and birds come from the south and cross the official road below.

This is near a road to the south of Feiyan Pass, from time to time you will see a few or two tea shops for passing pedestrians and caravans to rest and eat, once people gather, except for the occasional outbreak of conflicts, some people cause trouble, most of them still get together to exchange business opportunities in the east, west, north and south, including what happens in various places, such an era, the communication lag is basically spread by this way of communication.

Several caravans returned from the north and stopped at a tea shop beside the road, greeting the other caravans who were preparing to head north to the steppes, and advising them to return the way they came.

“…… Just returned from the Feiyan Pass, the city pass has been closed, at least half a month can not pass people. ”

The shopkeeper with the teapot came over with a white breath and poured hot tea for the guests at this table, and couldn't help asking: "Half a moon?" What the hell is going on over there? ”

The business travelers who were preparing to go north to Feiyan Pass also pricked up their ears.

"The Xijon people went south again......"

In the caravan that came back from Feiyan Pass, the leading man took a sip of tea and took out the tea leaves in his mouth, "There are a lot of cavalry...... The soldiers and horses in the city pass did not dare to move, and I heard that there were at least hundreds of thousands...... It's all cavalry. ”

Hiss!

The business travelers at several tables in the tea shop widened their eyes, opened their mouths slightly and gasped.

There are also those who do not believe.

"Brother, what you said is a bit exaggerated, all the Xirong people on the grassland have come to Feiyan Pass? The Zombie Department and the corpse have become a family? Who will believe it! ”

"Believe it or not, that's what happened to Feiyan Pass anyway, and I'll tell you again, these Xijon people...... Under the banner of the Xia King of Yan Kingdom! ”

King Xia of the Yan Kingdom?

In the tea shop, everyone looked at each other, and there was a dead silence

At this time, the man who had just returned from the north was quite satisfied with the atmosphere, and immediately wanted to continue, but there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside, and several dukes carried their burdens, passed outside the tea shop, and galloped on the official road.

A group of merchants in the tea shop rushed to the side of the road, looking at the three fast horses that were drifting away.

"Looks like something happened."

"It's a hundred miles in a hurry, or I've seen Xirong in the late autumn of the previous year."

At this time, the three fast horses in the mouth of the crowd carried the confirmed message and the letter that shot up the city tower, and hurried through Jiuding Prefecture and Yangping County, all the way to the capital of Qi State.

On the nineteenth day of the first month, the fast horses from the Feiyan Pass in the north rushed into the north city gate in the middle of the night, and the sound of chanting came to the city in the dark night.

"Hurry up for a hundred miles, open the city gate quickly-"

The night light was dim, and the castle tower guard shot down the rocket, saw the three dukes below, and put down the hanging basket, and asked the other party to put the documents issued by the post stations along the way, as well as the tokens, into the basket.

After checking the paperwork and tokens, the guards asked the soldiers below to open the city gate.

On the other side, in the quiet palace back garden of the imperial city, the Qingci Palace was noisy, and the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards stood outside the palace together, hanging their heads and not daring to come out.

Bang!

There was a sound of broken porcelain in the dormitory, Queen Zhao Zhuangyi's eyes were wet red, standing in the middle of a fragment, don't look at her fifties, she was more short-tempered, and when she was still the crown princess, she took the opposite Qi monarch Qi Qingbao to death.

"Before, His Majesty said that there is no need for soldiers in the winter moon, okay, the concubines will rely on you, but now that the New Year has passed, Your Majesty will send troops!"

"Queen, although the New Year has passed, you still have to prepare, right? Mobilizing troops and raising grain and grass, which one is not cumbersome? ”

"It's cumbersome, but Your Majesty doesn't move at all, you forgot who helped you sit on the throne! It is the younger brother of the concubine and the emperor of Wei! ”

Zhao Zhuangyi patted his chest and burst into tears, "Now that the concubine's family is gone, and my brother is dead, Your Majesty feels that you don't owe this love, you can not pay it back, right?!" ”

As the saying goes, if you don't hit someone, you don't slap your face, and if you scold someone, you don't expose your shortcomings.

Qi Qingbao pursed his lips tightly, his fingers clasped the cuffs tightly, and he fell into it hard, he has been an emperor for so many years, even if he is a little afraid of guilt, but he is the emperor after all, sitting in the main hall, worshiped by the courtiers and palace people every day, and now he is scolded by his wife to the sore spot, and his face gradually changes.

But he still stood in place and did not move, as soon as he came, the queen married and followed him, even if the prince's position was unstable during that period, it was the queen who gave advice, and borrowed the hand of her brother Zhao Chuanting, the emperor of Wei, to help thread the needle in the middle, consolidate the crown prince's position, and then ascend the throne.

Second, after decades of husband and wife, his temperament has gradually been suppressed by the other party, and fear of guilt has become a habit, and it is difficult to give birth to the mind of resistance.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Zhuangyi was even more impatient in his heart, chattering endlessly.

At this moment, outside the dormitory, a eunuch led a post horse to come quickly, and then took the letter from the other party's hand and hurried to the outside of the palace, handed the letter to the eunuch waiting outside the palace, and said a word in the other party's ear, and the latter immediately knocked on the door of the palace.

Empress Zhao Zhuangyi tilted her head and scolded: "Your Majesty doesn't see anyone today!" ”

"Queen, what are you doing, in case something big is presented!" Qi Qingbao was at a loss for a few words of comfort, and the voice of the eunuch outside was also anxious.

"Your Majesty, it's an eight-hundred-mile expedited and sent from Feiyan Pass."

Hearing this, Qi Qingbao hurriedly asked the eunuch to send the letter in, he took it in his hand and unfolded it, his face changed instantly, and his hand shook unconsciously.

The empress on the side didn't notice it, and raised her hand to slap the letter from the emperor's hand to the ground.

"The concubine is telling you ......"

Syllable!

Qi Qingbao suddenly waved his hand and slapped Zhao Zhuangyi's face, almost wanting to split his eyes: "Long-winded, I have endured you long enough, do you think you still have Zhao Chuanting's support, your status as a queen, I said that you are, you can be-"

After saying this, he felt a lot more comfortable, but when he picked up the letter on the ground, fear was enveloped in his heart again, and he didn't pay attention to the queen who was sitting on the ground crying, and sat down at the table staggeringly.

The light shone on his face, and he squirmed in distraction, "Fuck it...... 300,000 soldiers and horses...... Among them, the 200,000 cavalry, plus the few soldiers and horses in the Central Plains, are almost all warriors of a hundred battles...... He wants to set foot on the Qi country...... What to do......"

"Send the news to Liang Guo." When he lifted his face, his eyes were full of anxiety and horror.

Three years after the opening of the Qian, the news from Feiyan Pass finally broke out at this moment and spread at an extremely fast speed.

At the end of January, the news has been transmitted to the western capital of Daliang through various channels, and the Tuoba Kui who was originally ready to do a big job after the beginning of the year to reform the country sat on the throne in a daze, and the ministers in the court, the leaders of the tribes listened to the news silently.

It took him a long time before he struggled to squeeze out a few words.

"The Sijon people...... Did the Xijon people surrender to Yan? ”

He became the emperor at the age of twenty-five, and in the face of the barren land, he had the confidence to govern it well, and the tribe under his command was brave, but he was also a strong soldier in the world, and he could fight with the soldiers of the Xia King of Yan State.

As long as the reform is successful in the country, it is bound to make Daliang strong, so that he can really use the world as a chess game and play a vertical and horizontal game with the heroes of the world.

However, this feeling came to an abrupt end at this moment.

When he was full of confidence and started the country, others quietly solved the great disaster of Xirong that caused disaster to the north. He knew in his heart what was going on with the people of Sijon.

How can there be such a reason...... How can there be such a reason...... He's only twenty-one years old this year, where does he get the courage! ’

Tuoba Kui clenched his fists and pressed the armrest of the dragon chair, and while shouting in his heart, there was also a chill coming.

From this moment on, the two countries of Qi and Liang will have no northern barrier, and the other party can drive troops to the grassland from the northern Yan country at any time, and then go south to the Qi country, or flank the hinterland of Daliang.

This shocking news not only caused an uproar in Qiliang and Liang.

Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai in Meizhou also received the news afterwards, and the four of them rarely got together to have a good drink, only Ma Chao was quite sullen, and walked into the courtyard, and the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand was almost broken by him.

On the second day of the second month of February, the news had already entered the states of the Central Plains, and the whole city of Luyang, from the civil and military forces, the big families, to the peddlers and pawns, were shocked, shocked and frightened in the news.

After that, many people in almost all the big clans were running around to find out the truth of this news, and write more detailed information and send it to their homes in other states and counties.

The news that the Xirong people surrendered to the Yan State and the grassland was included in the territory was still spreading at a terrifying speed.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Cang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Niu Gai of Suizhou and Qingzhou heard the news, and they were all happy, and Zhang Liao was excited that night, leading Gao Shun and a thousand cavalry, and attacked Wu Guoguo's camp on the north bank of the Huai River to celebrate!

South.

Emperor Kang Chengqian of Wu sat solemnly on the Jinluan Palace, listening to the controversy in the hall because of the matter of Wu Min, and did not study it in detail after receiving this news, as time went by, more information followed, and the controversy in the original hall gradually stopped.

After reminiscing, Kang Chengqian squeezed the hand of the intelligence, and unconsciously trembled slightly, 300,000 elite people, who the hell can beat it?

Originally, because of the dispute between the border people of Wu and Yue, he was dragged down to Gyeongju, which made him distressed, and now that he knew that the north was unified, Kang Chengqian closed his eyes in pain, hundreds of thousands of troops, not unseen, but most of them were elite in a hundred battles, how to fight in the future, let him feel that his brain began to hurt.

Seeing the quarrel between the Chinese and the martial arts of the DPRK, he couldn't help but have the idea of breaking the jar and breaking it in his heart.

"I surrender too......"

In the Yue Kingdom to the west of the Wu Kingdom, the news was blocked as soon as the Huai River was crossed, and the entire Yue Kingdom court kept silent about the matter, but everyone knew that the unification of the north was real, as if a mountain was pressing on their hearts.

Soon, the Emperor of Yue sent a letter of repair to Luyang in the Central Plains to make peace with Yan for eternity.

Subsequently, he transferred several troops and horses on the south bank of the Huaijiang River to defend Suizhou, and stationed them all in the places where the border people of Wu and Yue disputed, and there was a great idea of completely resolving this matter.

The news of Xirong's surrender and the return of the two big tribes spread throughout the north and south of the river, such as the calm water in the north, there were also ripples, Fang Xuejun was dealing with the affairs of the palace, and when he was calculating the expenses in the palace, he heard the excited voice of his senior sister Li Wangqiu outside.

"Win, Xuejun, your man has taken the grassland."

Hearing this, Fang Xuejun put down his pen and ink, and finally had a smile on his face that had been tense for a long time.

The spring breeze squeezed into the curtains, stroking the hair hanging down her cheeks, she brushed her hair, looked at the closed curtains with her hands together, her voice choked with excitement, and said softly: "Thank you to the ancestors of the Su family!" ”

The atmosphere in the Northland is gradually becoming different.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, an old man named Wang Lang threw the official document in his hand on the ground, and the drunken Guo Jia and Li Bai around him looked at him, and the old man with white hair rolled up his sleeves excitedly.

"It's time for the old man to get out!"
