Chapter 184 The torrents of Southern Qi are surging, and the court has made a decision to ask for Wei soldiers

When the news that Li Gui and Xiao Zekai's army was wiped out by Tiande reached Yuwen Junxun's ears, Yuwen Junxun's soldiers and horses were carrying grain and grass in the Hetao area.

Now that it is known that it is Tiande's conspiracy to borrow Xuzhou, it is not difficult to guess that after the Tiande army destroys the last Ye Chengfeng, they will rush to this place to grab supplies.

The Hetao area is the land of grain production in Southern Qi, and the grain and grass are abundant, so Yuwen Junxun naturally can't let these grains fall into the hands of the Tiande people.

However, most of Yuwen Junxun's subordinates are infantry, and the chariots and horses temporarily requisitioned are also limited, if they bring too much grain and grass, it will inevitably affect the speed of the march, and they will be caught up by the Tiande people. So after hastily carrying about half of the grain, Yuwen Junxun ordered to mix quicklime into the remaining grain and pour water to destroy the grain.

This move caused the people in the Hetao area to fall into panic, and the officers and soldiers transported grain and destroyed the grain, which was to abandon the Hetao. Such a sudden change made the people unprepared and ran to the government to petition.

But now, Yuwen Junxun can't take care of these anymore, he came forward to appease him, but the effect was not good, so he could only use force to expel the gathered people, and then immediately set the army north, not daring to delay for a moment.

As soon as the officers and soldiers left, the people were completely desperate, and for a time, a large number of people fled one after another, and the Hetao area fell into chaos.

However, to Yuwen Junxun's surprise, Ye Chengfeng's main force was not attacked by the Tiande cavalry. Although Ye Chengfeng is known as the "Mad Tiger", he is extremely cautious. He divided the troops into three routes, detoured all the way to the north, followed the official road back to Yujing Province, and went straight to Xuzhou, while the main force went directly north like Yuwen Junxun.

In this way, although the soldiers and horses of the first and second roads were eaten by the Tiande army, the main force of the Yujing army was preserved. After receiving the news that the other two soldiers and horses were attacked, Ye Chengfeng immediately understood the plan and arrangement of the Tiande people, and the main force went north at full speed, and finally traveled through several provinces, and finally returned to Yujing Province safely.

The demise of Li Gui and Xiao Zekai marked the complete defeat of the Southern Qi Alliance, and from then on, the Southern Qi could no longer organize a military force sufficient to confront Tiande head-on, and fell into a situation of passive beating.

In the next ten days, the Tiande army divided into two routes, successively broke through Qingzhi City and Xuzhou, and then occupied Hetao and Ziqiu Province. So far, nearly one-third of the land of Southern Qi has all fallen into the hands of Tiande.

Hetao is rich, although the official warehouse was destroyed by Yuwen Junxun's order, but the people's grain and grass wealth Yuwen Junxun has no time to take care of it. Without the protection of the army, the people of Hetao who could escape smoothly were only a few after all, and in this way, Tiande burned and looted in Hetao, obtained precious supplies, and relieved the pressure on the supply of the army. At the same time, a large number of local armed forces in the Southern Qi Dynasty joined the Tiande people in order to survive, so that the soldiers lost in the Tiande battle were also replenished.

The situation in the Purple Hill area is the same, if not comparable, with the Hetao. Because Li Gui's main force had been completely annihilated by the Tiande cavalry in the area of Qingzhi City, the defensive forces in the various counties of Ziqiu were pitifully few, and the road led by Yelu Tailong occupied the entire territory of Ziqiu with almost no effort

。

Although Ziqiu is not richer than Hetao, the grain and grass materials have not been destroyed, except for some that Li Gui took away when he sent troops, and all the remaining materials fell into the hands of the Tiande people.

As we all know, the Southern Qi is rich and the armor is elite, and this batch of armor fell into the hands of the brave and warlike Tiande soldiers, which is simply like a tiger with wings, making the combat power of the Tiande army to a higher level.

It is said that Yelu Tailong once laughed when he opened the largest armory in Ziqiu, which is enough to see how happy he was to get this batch of armor and equipment.

When the people of Tiande were rejoicing, the Nanqi court was gloomy and gloomy, and there was a mourning. Even if Yuwen Junxun returned with more than 200,000 troops and countless grains and grasses, he still failed to make everyone feel a sense of security. Li Yu, the emperor of Southern Qi, was even more panicked.

After Yuwen Junxun returned, he did not go to meet the emperor or the courtiers, but urgently recruited his cronies and generals to the marshal's palace to discuss matters. After Hong Hui's death and funeral, Yuwen Junxun moved into the Shuai Mansion, but the room where Hong Hui lived was left by him, and no one was allowed to enter except himself, including Wang Zheng.

At this moment, Yuwen Junxun was in Hong Hui's room, looking at the portrait of Hong Hui hanging on the wall.

Three sandalwood sticks were burning in the incense burner on Table Mountain, and the faint green smoke was wafting up, blurring the face on the portrait of Hong Hui.

"Guozhu, Southern Qi is in danger. Yuwen Junxun muttered to himself: "But we have failed to live up to your expectations, without you, we can't hold Nanqi! Tianguan is gone, Taiyuan has fallen, and Hetao has also fallen! The calculation of the Southern Qi Kingdom has come to an end." ”

"Zhou Qiwu is dead, Song Xiaozhi is dead, Li Gui is dead, and Xiao Zekai is also dead! Now there is only me and Ye Chengfeng left......" Yuwen Junxun showed a desolate smile on his face, Zhi Yanhui sighed, and an inexplicable sentimentality rose in his heart: "It's not that I haven't worked hard, but as you said, we are only six lone wolves after all, and without the leadership of the wolf king, we can only part ways!"

"Generalissimo, all the lords and generals have arrived! Waiting in the front hall!" Wang Zheng's voice came from outside the door.

Yuwen Junxun looked at Hong Hui's portrait and said in a low voice: "Guozhu, now, Jun Xun has to do one thing, this matter Jun Xun has selfish intentions in it, but it is the only way to keep Nanqi now, I hope you are in the spirit of the sky, forgive Jun Xun's helpless move." ”

Yuwen Junxun picked up three new incense sticks and lit them, inserted them in the incense burner, bowed three times, turned around and strode out.

"What? how can this work?" said an old man with a white beard and a white beard, "Asking for a soldier is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, isn't this an invitation to the plague god?"

As the saying goes, it's easier to please God than to send God. If this Great Wei comes, will he leave easily?" the other elder echoed in a loud voice.

This is the second day after Yuwen Junxun's return, the early dynasty.

Li Yuduan sat on the high dragon chair, looking at the two groups of courtiers who were arguing below, and there was only deep helplessness in his heart. He set his eyes on the person standing at the front of the court, but the other party was looking at his nose and nose at the moment, and he didn't mean to express his position at all

Think.

But even if Yuwen Junxun didn't say anything, Li Yu knew what he meant, after all, he was not a fool.

Now the people who jumped out to ask him for help from Dawei were all Yuwen Junxun's people, without his instructions, Li Yu believed that these people would never jump out so neatly and speak to him.

"Lord Song, Lord Hu!" Zhou Yinbin, the head of the household, stood up.

Zhou Yinbin was originally the right attendant of the household department of Southern Qi, and in Cheng Younian's rebellion, he firmly stood on the side of Yuwen Junxun. In the end, Cheng Younian was defeated and killed, and Yuwen Junxun ascended to the position of generalissimo of the Southern Qi Dynasty, so he recommended Zhou Yinbin to Li Yu as the head of the household department.

After this incident, Zhou Yinbin became more loyal to Yuwen Junxun and acted as the vanguard of Yuwen Junxun. This time was no exception, after his own side proposed to ask for help from Great Wei was denied by the old forces, Zhou Yinbin stood up again.

"Two adults!" Zhou Yinbin said: "The words of the two adults, forgive Zhou for not agreeing!"

Zhou Yinbin bowed to Li Yu and said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, now the country is unfortunate, the wolf is raging, who is not worried? But the emperor also saw that since the fall of Tianguan, just over a month, my Southern Qi has lost a large part of the country, Zhou Qiuwu, Li Gui, Xiao Zekai The three governors have died one after another, if it is not for the soldiers and horses of our Southern Qi not to resist, it is really too fierce wolf disaster, and it is difficult for our soldiers to resist. If this continues, Southern Qi will be in danger, Jingshi will be in danger, and Your Majesty will be in danger! We really have no choice before we put forward a plan to ask for help from Great Wei, Your Majesty will know it!"

"Your Majesty!" the previous white-haired old man, Lord Song, said in a loud voice: "Lord Zhou's words are a prevarication! Although the southern border, Hetao, and Ziqiu have all fallen, there are still two-thirds of the land in our Southern Qi, and there are still nearly a million people with armor, and as long as Your Majesty orders them to assemble, we will still have the strength to fight! On the contrary, if we turn to the Great Wei for help, there will be wolves in front and tigers in the back, Your Majesty try to imagine that the Great Wei will send troops into the Southern Qi to fight against Tiande independently? At that time, it will not be the main force of our Southern Qi to fight against Tiande? In this way, even if we defeat Tiande in the end, our army has already suffered a great loss in strength, if Great Wei is greedy, where will we still have the strength to fight with them in Nanqi, so wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others?"

Zhou Yinbin sneered: "Lord Song said this, it is alarmist, right? Let's not talk about whether the Great Wei will take the opportunity to invade our Southern Qi, just for the moment, does our Southern Qi really have any hope of independently confronting Tiande? To put it nicely, we still have an army of nearly one million, but you ask yourself, this million army may be united? Didn't Marshal Yuwen issue a marshal order before, asking all the soldiers and horses of Nanqi to raise the banner of righteousness to meet Tiande? But in the end, how many people from this million army responded? If we continue like this, how can we resist Tiande? How do you protect the territory, how do you protect the royal family?"

Zhou Yinbin turned to Li Yu and said solemnly: "Your Majesty! There is only one way to die if you resist independently, and there may still be a glimmer of life for the Great Wei to ask for help! Your Majesty should be able to distinguish between the two and which is wrong."

They are a scourge of extermination to us, and after all, Dawei and we are both naturalized people, the state of Shangli, the same ancestry, and the same origin, and we have joined hands before, so the danger is far less than that of Tiande! Therefore, even if Dawei has a ghost in his heart, but in the current situation, we still have to borrow their strength, at least drive Tiande out of the country first! At that time, even if there is a change in the Great Wei, but the hearts of the people of our Southern Qi are all for Your Majesty, and since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, so why worry about not being able to drive the Great Wei out? Lord Song and Lord Hu, you keep saying that my Southern Qi cannot compete with the Great Wei, don't you say that Your Majesty is fortunate and unpopular?

"Don't dare!"

"Don't dare!"

Song and Hu hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Although they are stupid, they are not stupid after all, and on the top of the main hall, in front of the Son of Heaven, how dare they accept this crime of deceiving the king.

Song and Hu were refuted by Zhou Yinbo, and naturally no one in their old forces dared to come forward anymore, and Yuwen Junxun's subordinates took the opportunity to attack again, and raised a group to admonish Li Yu and ask him to issue an order to ask for help from Great Wei.

Li Yu looked around, there was no other sound above the court, and Yuwen Junxun was raising his head at the moment, looking at him with blazing eyes.

Li Yu shivered inexplicably, and said in a trembling voice: "I, quasi-play!"
