Chapter 229: The Five Years (Part II)
Although the reinforcement army did not meet with the leading young man from the capital, they could not delay the trip, so they set out on the road.
And when the news reached the capital, His Majesty the Emperor did not seem to have much doubt about this matter, and it was indeed ordered.
A few months later, the Qi army sent to Qi by He'an County successfully arrived on the battlefield, and the war between Qi and Chu officially began.
Qi Yunqing, the number one master of Qi State, and the first swordsman of Chu State, these two people who should have met a long time ago were really meeting for the first time, and they didn't know how many rounds they had fought openly, and there were no casualties on both sides.
The frontal battlefield was not tragic, it was just a slight collision, even smaller than the collision before the original national war.
It really didn't fit the scale and scene of the national war, and then just when everyone was wondering, two years later, an unprecedented war quietly broke out.
The Dachang army, which was responsible for encircling from the flank, was attacked, and all the 30,000 Dachang soldiers who were originally only auxiliary to the attack were killed on the battlefield.
In the aftermath of the war, the two countries began to fall apart for fear of the superpower's wrath or if they had reached an agreement.
The State of Qi sent 800 envoys to be martyred in front of Beiyang City to make amends, claiming that the State of Qi had damaged 200,000 troops in that battle and was no longer able to fight.
But the real reason is unclear to all countries.
Lin Pinggui, the commander of the Zhennan Army, got the news, and did not wait for the decision of the one in the palace, so he went directly from the south to the west out of Yangguan, and went to the palace of Qi with a spear in hand to ask for justice.
The purpose of his trip was not just to ask King Qi for justice, but to ask for a piece of evidence.
Before the war between the two countries, Lord Bi Siqian of the Imperial Spirit Division had come to the south to send a letter, just a simple greeting, he guessed that the letter was just a pretense, and Bi Siqian should really go to Qi or Chu.
The 30,000 defenders of He'an County were responsible for reinforcing Qi, which was supposed to assist the attack, but in the end the whole army was wiped out.
This kind of thing is too bizarre, even if the Qi State and the Chu State reach an agreement to jointly harm the Dachang Dynasty, it must have the emperor's non-accountability treaty of Beiyang City, otherwise no single country can withstand the oppressive force brought about by the wrath of a superpower.
When he went to the palace of the king of Qi, he had to return to the capital with the gun in his hand and confront His Majesty the emperor in front of the palace.
From north to west, armed with spears, along the way, the strong people from all walks of life were frightened and stayed away, easily crossing the border of Qi, but they were ambushed and fell off the cliff before the tiger fell off the cliff, and life and death were unpredictable.
There were not many details of that battle, because all those who participated in the assassination were completely damaged, and I heard that that night, the people who lived under the cliff actually heard the sound of water flowing on the cliff wall in their sleep, like a waterfall, which made people shudder.
No one knows how many people and how many countries are participating.
I only know that Yan Weichu, the first swordsman of the Chu State, seems to be old, and his eyes can't see anything too sharp, let alone a spear in his line of sight.
And Qi Yunqing, the strongest man in the Qi State, broke an arm, claiming to be injured in the previous battle with the Chu State.
According to the residents of the Tiger Fall Cliff, they lived under the cliff, and when they went to chop wood the next morning, they picked up some unnamed utensils, including cracked prayer beads, blood-red clay bowls, and some extremely sharp broken swords.
When this news came back, the 30,000 Zhennan army of Wanqiu City was furious, and Lin Ying reorganized his troops and horses, and wanted to lead 10,000 troops to enter the palace of Qi to take the head of King Qi and retrieve his father's body.
But at this time, the imperial court came to the decree, and the Zhennan Army was led by Zhang Ling, and the Zhennan Army did not move.
There is no such eldest lady in the Zhennan Army, in fact, she has always been a soldier.
Not only in the south, but the whole country was furious, but His Majesty the Emperor still did not move and did not start that national war.
The reason is that Commander Lin entered the Qi country with a gun, and there is no reason for his country to take the initiative to crusade.
This statement deserves to be recognized, but many more people disagree.
The 30,000 soldiers of He'an County were wiped out first, and the commander of the Zhennan Army was ambushed in the Qi State, and the reason given by the Qi State was that the former Qi State lost 200,000 soldiers, and the latter was invaded by a strong enemy, and it was a last resort.
Let's not talk about whether the loss of 200,000 soldiers by the Qi State is true or false, and you can only kill your strongest martial arts as a last resort, which is more than a mockery.
But this kind of ridicule, His Majesty the Emperor can endure.
His Majesty the Emperor can endure it, and perhaps it can be said that it is for the sake of the people of the whole country, and there must be no more war.
And the sergeants vented their anger on the current Prime Minister's Mansion, and the spearhead was the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince of Qi who came from him.
On this rainy day, Wang Zhaojun rode a horse from He'an County and led 300 soldiers into the city, which was already a taboo, and it was an unforgivable crime to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion with guns.
and asked the prime minister Cui Ren to hand over Jiang Ming, the pregnant prince of Qi, and give justice to the 30,000 soldiers who died, and a justice to the Zhennan Army, and then use it to pay tribute to the missing commander Lin.
His Majesty the Emperor sat in the palace to watch the riot, and ordered the guards of the four city gates to let it go, and the city should not be blocked, so as not to cause conflicts, and wanted to see how the Prime Minister's Mansion handled this matter, but also to see if someone would really sit idly by.
Cui Xiang, the son of the prime minister, went out in public, standing alone in front of the prime minister's mansion, facing Wang Zhaojun and the three hundred soldiers he brought.
It was not difficult to step past him, but at this moment, a young man in black arrived in the distance.
With a black umbrella on his head and a long sword behind his back, this person is Xu Changan.
Xu Chang'an has been in the Spiritual Academy for two years, and he rarely goes out in the past two years, and even if he does, he just hurriedly glances at the West Chamber singing on the stage in the Red Mansion, and then goes straight upstairs.
This year, he was thirteen years old.
In the thirteenth year of Qing'an, Xu Chang'an is no longer just Xu Chang'an, he is a student of Mr. Nine and the first apprentice of the dean.
His appearance naturally attracted much attention, and even the cultivators in the city who couldn't bear to watch this tragic farce all appeared one after another, wanting to see what kind of realm the dean's disciples had reached.
It's just that he hasn't made a move for two years, and it's already something that people have to pay attention to.
However, today's Xu Chang'an is just Xu Chang'an, if he is just the dean's disciple, he will not come, if he is only a student of Mr. Nine, he will still not come, but he will not come if he is a student of the Spirit Academy.
Because he is Xu Chang'an, he came.
He came for a woman, and he came for a man.
The woman is behind the man, and the man is in front of the prime minister's mansion.
And he chose to face Wang Zhaojun and the three hundred soldiers.
His Majesty the Emperor sat in the palace and narrowed his eyes, wanting to see the turmoil in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the distance through the palace.
In this autumn rain, Xu Changan looked at Cui Xianggong behind him, and then his eyes closed slightly, as if he remembered something from the past.
The black umbrella in his hand swirled slightly, the rain curtain obscured his vision, and the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was opened first and then closed.
Xu Changan was still standing there, but the umbrella was gone, and the two behind him were also gone.
There was no one behind him now, only a door and a sword.
Wang Zhaojun, many people say that it is the next Lin Pinggui, and there are three hundred soldiers behind the other party, Xu Chang'an has no chance of winning this battle.
But it's a rainy day, and he has a teacher.
In the Spirit Academy, Ju'an pinched the trick with one hand, and waved his right hand in the air.
In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the rain has turned into charms.
Mr. Ju'an, who had never been able to enter the Great Cultivator, made his first move in the true sense of the word in this city.
And a shot is not as stingy as a talisman, but tens of thousands of ways, in the world in front of the prime minister's mansion, there are as many drops of rain as there are runes.
Xu Changan took a deep breath and looked at Wang Zhaojun calmly, his original palm made Xu Changan deeply impressed and did not dare to forget.
And today, his own sword, presumably the other party can not forget.
Xu Changan only took out a sword, but Wang Zhaojun stopped it, but retreated.
The onlookers couldn't even see what was going on, and of course Xu Changan wouldn't explain.
Looking back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was actually more worried about another person than Jiang Ming who was inside.
Wang Zhaojun unloaded his armor and entered the North Palace to plead guilty, and His Majesty the Emperor was grief-stricken and gave amnesty, saying that he understood his feelings, and this account should be recovered, not now.
In the third year, Emperor Dachang sent troops to attack Qi on the grounds that the other party had failed to implement the treaty agreed upon by the two countries.
But Qi Guo shouted grievances, in fact, of course, everything that should be given was given, but Emperor Dachang waited for today, if you don't give it, you didn't give it.
The division is famous, and the leader of the war is Wang Zhaojun, and the deputy general is the commander of the Zhennan Army.
Later, after Xu Chang'an's insistent request, the dean couldn't resist the other party, so he let Ju An enter the palace and spread a word.
It was not that the main general was changed, but that Lin Ying was the main general, and Wang Zhaojun was the deputy general.
His Majesty the Emperor gladly agreed, and there were two young men, although they were not very old, but they had made many military exploits, one was surnamed Yu, and the other no one knew what his name was.
forced the capital of Qi to move to Qingyun County in the south, so that Qi was divided into north and south, and it was only a matter of time before the country was destroyed.
The eleven kingdoms under heaven evolved into twelve kingdoms.
Jiang Ming entered the Spiritual Academy several times late at night in succession, and Xu Changan was closed and not seen.
After the acquiescence of his teacher, he even moved out of the Spirit Academy and lived in the Red Building.
Next door to Huarong, I eat the food that Huarong cooks for him every day, and I go downstairs to listen to a play in my spare time, but I always feel that there is something wrong in my heart.
No, of course, it wasn't because he rejected Jiang Ming's request, he knew Lin Ying.
Not to mention the matter of Vaqi, the dean's own division spoke publicly, even if His Majesty the Emperor gave a death order, even if he knew that he would have to kill all of them when he came back, Lin Ying would not be able to stop.
Moreover, thinking of the stout man he saw at the beginning, Xu Changan always felt that he shouldn't have died so silently, and he was a little aggrieved.
The reason why he is not a taste is that why his teacher is not as good as himself?
He and Hua Rong have never met in the past few years, and it is impossible for him to be as bored as he is to talk to each other for a while, and when he is hungry, he eats a bowl of dumplings filled with osmanthus and fish filled by her.
Since entering the Spiritual Academy, Xu Changan has felt very happy, he can live openly and honestly, and he can be so happy.
So happy that he even forgot about the Lord Si Zheng of the Imperial Spirit Division, and why he couldn't find the whereabouts of his Lao Tzu in the past few years in the capital.
I forgot the doubts and incomprehension in my heart when I investigated the case with Wang Zhaojun at the beginning, and I also forgot why the 30,000 soldiers of He'an County were wiped out and none of them survived, which is not in line with the logic of the battlefield.
But what he still remembers is the girl in red who is only seen in a hurry every time, her name is Huaxia.
