The Great Scattered Pass.

Torrential rain poured down.

Just as 100,000 allied troops and 4500 Jianghu masters were chasing and killing Zhao Lanjiang in Kaifeng City, a surprise attack team of more than 10 people took advantage of the heavy rain and with the help of cloud claws to sneak up on the Dasanguan city wall.

The person who led the team was none other than Yejiro.

The patrolling sentry soon realized that something was wrong, "There is an enemy situation!"

Ye Jiro gave an order, and more than ten hidden arrows were shot, shooting the five patrol sentries into hedgehogs.

They disposed of the bodies, changed into the clothes of the patrolmen, and walked towards the city gates. Along the way, they encountered two more groups of patrol soldiers, who followed the agreed slogan and hid.

They had only one goal, and that was the city gates. As they approached the city gate, the general shouted, "Who is coming?"

Ye Erlang said, "We are the patrol of the fourth section of the first section, and there is a section of the city wall that has collapsed, and we want to borrow some tools to repair it overnight." ”

The guard said, "You should not come here for such things. ”

Ye Erlang scolded with a smile, "With such a heavy rain, you are hiding from the rain under the city tower, but we are drenched on it, and it is not fair." ”

The Guard laughed, "That's what you're here for." ”

Ye Erlang said, "Not really. ”

Hundreds of officers and soldiers were stationed at the city gate, all of whom took shelter from the rain in Neicao, and there were only a dozen or so people here. Seeing that the timing was just right, Ye Erlang waved his hand, and there were more than ten crossbow arrows.

Poof.

Seven or eight people were hit by arrows, and the guard was clever, turned over and escaped a catastrophe, and rushed towards Nei Cao with his legs, "The enemy is coming!"

The gong sounded loudly.

At this moment, a thunderclap drowned out the sound of gongs.

Yajiro ordered, "Cut the cable and open the city gate." ”

In the middle of Nei Cao, dozens of soldiers who got the news first rushed out with blades in their hands, and Ye Erlang drew his knife, "Big Bull, Tiger, you continue, and the rest follow me!"

With that, Yejiro led everyone to rush over.

The huge city gate slowly opened, revealing a crack.

Outside the city, horses' hooves sounded.

The officers and soldiers on the city wall noticed that something was wrong and immediately beat the war drums.

The Yinyang army and the Yuwang army were in a stalemate here for nearly two years, and the Yuwang army had 100,000 defenders, but 40,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched to Kaifeng a month ago, and they did not expect that the Yinyang army would launch an attack today.

Peng Shuai, the guard general of Dasan Pass, was a veteran of the battlefield, and the siege battle was chosen on a rainy night, which was not the best opportunity, so he made a decision and ordered a counterattack.

However, under the cover of night and heavy rain, the arrows lost their accuracy, and the tung oil could not be ignited quickly, and what was even worse was that the wolf smoke of the beacon could not be lit on time, and the rear was warned in time.

In an instant, the Hidden Sun army attacked the city.

Lost a long-range attack weapon, and was attacked by Yejiro to get an entrance, 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yinyang, and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Dasan guard at the city gate.

Fighting erupted.

Yu Wangjun, who was originally asleep, suddenly encountered this situation and was a little overwhelmed. What's even worse is that the spies who have been lurking in the Dasan Pass for a long time use forged documents to constantly give orders contrary to the guards.

In normal times, it is not difficult to discern with a little discernment. But at the moment, the situation was critical, and the orders received by the general of the Seunouchi were contradictory, and he was unable to effectively organize a counterattack. And the scouts who asked for help from Chang'an were also killed one by one by the masters of the rivers and lakes in the Muyang organization.

The gates were broken.

Fighting, turned into slaughter.

Under the Great Scattered Pass, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood was all over the ground, which was soon washed away by the rain and flowed into the pass.

The river is dyed red.

Hundreds of zhang away, Zhao Lanjiang was wearing golden armor and holding a long knife, looking at the city wall of Dasanguan, and behind him were the general Su Zhengyuan and the stone city lord Chu Xiang.

These 200,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to the expanded Yinyang Yicong, of which 100,000 are the old troops of Su Zhengyuan's expedition to the west, and the 30,000 old troops of Western Chu have now become the main combat force of the eastern front of Yinyang City.

For this night, Zhao Lanjiang has been preparing for a long time.

He walked the rivers and lakes all the way from Shanhaiguan in a high-profile manner, fought a bloody road, and used the ten-year battle with Li Chengcheng as bait, which led to the misjudgment of the king of Yu and the king of Shu, and blocked the city with heavy troops, wanting to leave Zhao Lanjiang behind.

The fact is that at the moment when Zhao Lanjiang and Yang Xiling broke up, he changed identities with Li Bufan and rushed to Dasanguan non-stop.

Li Bufan has learned the traverse knife technique, and his martial arts are close to the Xiangxiang realm, and there is a vivid mask of Lei Jiazhuang as a cover, no one will doubt that the person who set off the monstrous waves in Kaifeng Mansion is actually not Zhao Lanjiang.

For the sake of truth, to make the other party think that there was a chance to kill him, he even bought off the Yellow River Gang Fan Boss and released the fake news that Zhao Lanjiang was poisoned, and all this was for this moment.

And the only people who can detect the problem are Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng, but Zhao Lanjiang firmly believes that

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

They don't debunk that.

The only thing that disturbed him was that he had broken his promise, the promise of a swordsman, and took advantage of Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng.

But Zhao Lanjiang understands that he is no longer the swordsman he was ten years ago, he is the lord of Yinyang City, the most orthodox prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the master of the future tomorrow!

Swordsmen are a thing of the past.

Ten years ago, when he was determined to compete for the world, he gave up his identity as a Jianghu person, promised a thousand gold, and did what he said, which seemed heroic, but in fact he was extremely stupid.

Now, what he wants is this world!

......

Zhao Lanjiang said sharply, "Bring the flag!"

A white horse righteous servant sent the battle flag, and Zhao Lanjiang said, "Let's see me planting the battle flag on the head of the Dasanguan City!"

Standing horses galloping.

Zhao Lanjiang held the battle flag and rushed towards the city gate.

When the Yinyang army saw Zhao Lanjiang, they all gave way to it, and the Yu Wang army that was blocking him raised their stabs one after another.

Zhao Lanjiang swung out with a volley, and there were corpses all over the place.

Yu Wangjun had long heard that Zhao was famous for a long time, and this knife went down, I don't know how many people were scared, and they fled in all directions, and were all killed by the Hidden Yang Army on both sides.

Thirty zhang, ten zhang.

Zhao Lanjiang came to the front of the city, pulled the reins, and the whole person jumped up by taking advantage of the momentum, rolled in the air, and landed at the head of the Dasan Pass, and planted the Yinyang battle flag heavily on the city wall.

The heavy rain gradually stopped.

The sky is getting white.

The Dasan Pass, which had been in a stalemate with the Hidden Yang Army for several years, was broken, and this battle only took one night.

Of the 50,000 Yu Wang army, 30,000 were killed in battle, and the remaining 20,000, including the guard general Peng Shuai, were all taken prisoner, and the losses of the Yinyang army were only 4,000 people.

Zhao Lanjiang captured the Great Scattered Pass, and the next moment, he gave the order to slaughter the city. 200,000 Yinyang troops, invaded Baoji Mansion, killed people when they saw them, and in one day, 20,000 prisoners of war and 100,000 people became the souls of the Yinyang army.

King Yu, who was originally immersed in the killing of Zhao Lanjiang and the golden knife offering treasure, was watching fish by the water's edge when he learned the news that Dasanguan was lost and Zhao Lanjiang was not dead, and was so frightened that he fell into the water, and hurriedly ordered Chang'an to guard Fang Yu'an to resist the enemy and ask for help from the king of Shu.

However, what they were waiting for was not the reinforcements of the King of Shu, but the news that Jianmen Pass was broken by Lu Liangce and Shuzhong was lost.

Lü Liangce was once the right-hand man of the King of Shu, but the King of Shu listened to the rumors and killed Lü Liangce's whole family.

Zhu Ligong, the king of Shu, was trapped in the palace, set fire to the palace, and was buried in the fire.

Lu Liangce did not let it go, but hung the charred body of the king of Shu at the city gate and exposed it to the sun for three days and three nights, and the thirteen sons and daughters of the king of Shu and more than twenty wives and concubines were all poisoned.

The Yinyang Army, which captured the Dasan Pass, did not stop and marched eastward, and at this time, the Chang'an guard Fang Yu'an surrendered and surrendered Chang'an City to Zhao Lanjiang. Ten days later, 200,000 troops came to Luoyang City.

King Yu surrenders!

After a stalemate of ten years, the world was chaotic, and within two months, the victory and defeat were instantly divided, and finally the two princes died and surrendered.

The general trend of the world has been decided!

The former King of the Golden Sword, the Lord of Hidden Yang City, officially won the world and dominated the country. After entering Luoyang, Zhao Lanjiang changed his name to Zhu Yi, and announced to the world that he would officially ascend the throne on the first day of the first month, with the year name Tianyou, and the capital was set in Luoyang.

At this time, the jade seal of the country, which had been missing for ten years, reappeared in the world, and several old eunuchs dedicated the jade seal engraved with "The Emperor's Mandate and Heavenly Gift" to Zhao Lanjiang.

The world's heroes have responded.

The people have been suffering from war for a long time.

Before the catastrophe of the Heavenly Dao, the population of the Ming Dynasty reached about 61 million in its heyday, and in the past ten years of war and food shortage, the population today is less than 30 million, which is half of what it was ten years ago.

No matter how bad a peace is, it is better than a good war.

The people don't expect a ruler, they just want to have a stable life, be able to fill their stomachs, feed their families, and that's it.

The hegemony of the world has begun to take shape.

After receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, the warlords and local separatist forces scattered in various places also responded one after another, and sent envoys to Luoyang one after another, firstly to surrender to Zhao Lanjiang, and secondly, to take the opportunity to win the greatest benefits for themselves when the world was initially decided, and to get a piece of the pie under the new order of reshuffling.

Originally, there were 320 prefectures in the world, and nearly 300 prefectures said that they had returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, not only that, but also set up state capitals in Fenghuangling, Hulukou and other border places.

This is busy with the staff group headed by Chai Gongwang. The original people of the Yinyang City Lord's Mansion also moved to Luoyang, and Zhao Lanjiang did not reject the bureaucrats who surrendered to Cheng, on the one hand, he rewarded the heroes who fought with him, and on the other hand, appeased the officials and gradually consolidated his power

。

However, when looking at the map of the mountains and rivers of Daming, there is a place that seems so unsightly, when all the cities and governments expressed their submission to the Ming Dynasty, the Dingzhou city far away from the border did not express its position.

This has become a piece of Zhao Lanjiang's heart.

Even the Li family in Jinling returned to the new imperial court, and offered tens of millions of silver to Luoyang as a bargaining chip to protect the family, but this city alone refused to surrender.

Dingzhou City, located in a remote area, with a population of 100,000, in the entire Ming Dynasty, inconspicuous, as long as Zhao Lanjiang is willing, he can mobilize the power of the whole country to erase this city from the territory of the world, just like Yuwen Tianlu did back then.

Moreover, the staff group of the DPRK and the Central Committee also suggested to him that if Dingzhou City was not pacified, it would become a country and China, and sooner or later it would become a hidden danger.

If it was before, the Dingzhou Great Array still had the theory of maintaining the true yuan of heaven and earth, but after an explosion in the Great Xiangguo Temple, this river and lake has long become history, and there is no need for the Dingzhou Great Array to exist.

However, he was slow to make this decision.

He sent an invitation to Dingzhou more than once, inviting his good brother to attend his enthronement ceremony, but the other party never responded, and in the end, even the envoy sent could not enter the city.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the wax moon.

A heavy snowfall covered Luoyang City with a layer of white clothes.

Zhao Lanjiang stood on the wall of the palace, looking down on Luoyang City, who would have thought that a son of a hunter in Hengduan Mountain would now become a true dragon son who dominates the world?

Chai Gongwang came to his side.

Today's Chai Gongwang has vaguely become the head of the hundred officials, and it is said that after the enthronement ceremony, he will be appointed as the first cabinet assistant of the new imperial court. This scholar, who fled in despair, finally became a marquis and paid homage to the prime minister.

He reported to Zhao Lanjiang about the enthronement ceremony.

He had planned the city lord ceremony of Li Xiancheng and the lord of the ghost fan building, although the final outcome was not good, but he had accumulated rich experience in holding this kind of ceremony, not to mention that this time with the help of the Ministry of Rites, he decided to hold an unprecedented enthronement ceremony for this king, so in the past few months, he has spared no effort to handle these.

Zhao Lanjiang was not very interested in this matter, he firmly believed that the world was won with the knife in his hand, not by some song of merit and praise, Chai Gongwang when he reported, he listened a little absent-mindedly.

Inside the imperial city, there was a noise.

"It's snowing, it's snowing, white hats on rooftops, cotton jackets in the woods... Run one step, print flowers, and turn the snow into flower rice cakes. ”

Zhao Lanjiang frowned.

Chai Gongwang glanced at it, lowered his head and said, "It's the Night Princess." ”

Concubine Yeyu was dressed in a thin red dress, running around in the palace, and several palace maids followed closely behind, and said urgently, "Princess, it's cold, be careful of freezing!"

Concubine Yeyu laughed and sang again: "It's snowing, it's snowing, the house has grown taller, the path has become fatter, the big tree has turned white, and the baby's nose has turned red." ”

With a slip of her feet, Concubine Yeyu fell to the ground, and several palace maids went to help her, but she kicked a few people away with one kick and rolled in the snow by herself.

Zhao Lanjiang couldn't stand it and coughed.

Seeing this, several palace maids turned pale with fright, and even knelt on the ground.

Zhao Lanjiang jumped off the city wall and said coldly, "As a princess, what kind of system will you become?"

Concubine Yeyu sneered, "The world is ours, we can do whatever we want, don't we?"

Zhao Lanjiang ordered: "Send the princess back to the mansion!"

Concubine Yeyu said loudly, "Slow!" She stood up, looked coquettish, and said, "Lord Wang, you will be the emperor in the future, and I will be the queen, right?"

Zhao Lanjiang's face was bored.

Concubine Yeyu didn't give up, and asked Chai Gongwang, "Chai Gong, did you say it?"

Chai Gongwang's face turned pale with fright, how could he dare to answer this question? ”

Concubine Yeyu laughed and spat at Zhao Yanjiang.

"Wolf-hearted, ungrateful, despicable villain!"

Zhao Lanjiang was furious, "Drag this crazy woman back." ”

A few Jin Wuwei came up and took Concubine Yeyu away, and Concubine Yeyu laughed, and the laughter lasted for a long time in the palace.

Zhao Lanjiang asked Chai Gongwang, "Ye Erlang is going to be named the Marquis of the Northwest, right?"

Chai Gongwang replied, "Exactly." ”

"Change it and be named the Duke of Dingguo. Zhao Lanjiang said coldly, "I don't want the world to gossip, saying that I am cold by nature and have treated the heroes of the founding of the country badly." ”

Chai Gongwang knew that this was to block the mouth of the Ye family.

It's night, Zichen Palace.

Concubine Yeyu hanged herself with three feet of white silk.
