Chapter 68: Xiao Baoyin and Xiao Yan's blood feud
Xiao Yan wantonly arrested members of the Qi clan in the Liang Kingdom, and for a while, people were panicked.
The news soon reached the Wei state in the north.
Emperor Xuanwu of Wei was stunned when he heard that Xiao Yan had actually replaced Xiao Baorong and had established the Liang State.
He said to the military generals: "Xiao Yan is also a character." In such a short period of time, he replaced the Qi State and established the Liang State. In the future, our Wei country has a strong opponent. ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen is not afraid of Xiao Yan." Yuan Ying said.
"Xiao Yan should not be underestimated. In that year, his fierce general Chen Qingzhi defeated the 300,000 army of our Wei State with 10,000 people. The fiasco of the present. Our Wei State is unprecedented. Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke said angrily.
Yuan Cheng was on the side, not saying a word.
He thought to himself: Chen Qingzhi is indeed a rare military wizard. In the future, if Xiao Yan reuses this person, he will definitely be a huge threat to our Wei State.
Yuan Cheng recalled the scene of that day:
Yuan Cheng's army had reached the outside of Xiangyang City.
"Today, there are still 20,000 defenders in Xiangyang City. We're an army of 200,000. Yuan Cheng boasted.
Chen Qingzhi mobilized 2,000 sailors and killed Yuan Cheng's battleship.
Yuan Cheng saw a white-robed general, holding a sword, riding a battleship, and killed him.
There was already a splash on the water......
"Who are you?" Yuan Cheng roared.
"I'm Chen Qingzhi." Chen Qingzhi roared.
"Son of a poor family?" Yuan Cheng scoffed. Then the people on board began to throw darts. Dense darts hit the Wei soldiers.
The corpses of Wei soldiers fell into the Yangtze River.
The blood gradually spread in the river......
Yuan Cheng said helplessly: "Retreat ......"
As a result, the great army of Wei began to retreat.
Li Daoyuan, who joined the army, asked: "Lord Wang, why do you want to withdraw the army?" There are 200,000 of us. ”
"It's not that I'm withdrawing. It is Chen Qingzhi's water master, who is indeed very strong. Yuan Cheng said depressedly.
Chen Qing ordered: "Crossbowmen release arrows ......"
The crossbowmen on the ship then filled their bows and crossbows together, and the sharp arrows made a whirring sound, shooting the Wei soldiers into hedgehogs......
The Wei soldiers screamed, "Ah...... Forehead...... Let's get away with it. ”
Chen Qingzhi led the soldiers, boarded the Wei army's warship, and began to fight......
The Yongzhou soldiers each picked up their broadswords and slashed at the neck of the Wei army.
One by one, the heads of the Wei soldiers fell into the water, stirring up the waves.
The Wei soldiers were killed and fled, and many jumped into the water to flee for their lives......
Yuan Cheng still thinks about the events of that day now, and he still has palpitations.
He thought to himself: Chen Qingyi must not let him continue to live. If this person is on the Northern Expedition, our Wei State will be in danger.
At the same time, Xiao Baojuan's personal eunuch Xiao Fangzi finally met Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an, at the inn.
"Your Highness. The villain has finally seen you. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi said with a handful of snot and tears.
He thought to himself: Our country's Jiangshan Sheji is hopeful for rejuvenation.
"Aren't you the personal eunuch of the widow's brother? The widow heard that His Majesty was besieged by Xiao Yan and actually set himself on fire? Our Qi kingdom has perished. Xiao Yan actually usurped the throne and established the puppet Liang State. As Xiao Baoyin spoke, he began to cry with his head in his arms.
He thought to himself, "Your Majesty." Why can't you keep going?
The widow can find a way to borrow troops from Wei to save you.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has indeed set himself on fire. Moreover, Xiao Yan has already killed Xiao Baorong. There are also His Majesty's Crown Prince and Empress. Xiao Yan is now in Jiangnan, wantonly hunting and killing the Qi clan. The people of Qi began to endanger themselves. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi cried.
"Xiao Yan was originally also the clan of the Qi Kingdom. He was also the brother of Emperor Qi Ming. Why is it so vicious? Xiao Baorong had already given up to Xiao Yan. Why did he still kill the killer? Xiao Baojuan said angrily.
"Your Highness. Don't be angry. Xiao Yan is a rebellious minister and thief. He deceived Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, into rebelling with him. When he succeeded, he was asked to concede again, and then slaughtered him. Xiao Baorong is a prince who was used by Xiao Yan. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
He thought to himself: O God. Why did you bestow the Mandate of Heaven on a despicable villain like Xiao Yan? Xiao Baojuan, the emperor of the Qi State, was mediocre and unreasonable. But he's still young.
"It is not a pity that Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, died. He originally rebelled with Xiao Yan. He coveted the throne and was used by Xiao Yan. It's also a recipe for stealing chickens. It's well deserved. Xiao Baoyin scolded.
"Although the king of Nankang is dead, he is innocent. However, the crown prince and the queen mother are innocent. Xiao Yan actually killed them all. There will be retribution. Eunuch Xiao Fangzi said angrily.
He pounded his chest.
He thought to himself: The slave must help His Royal Highness King Jian'an Kuang Fu Sheji.
Xiao Baoyin continued to ask: "So, did the widow's royal brother leave any relics?" ”
"Your Highness, this is the edict given to you by the first emperor." The eunuch Xiao Fangzi brought an edict and handed it to Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an.
Xiao Baoyin opened the edict and looked at it, and it read: "Since I ascended the throne, I am ashamed to meet the people of the country." Now that Xiao Yan has besieged Jiankang City, the Jiangshan Sheji of Qi will inevitably be usurped by Xiao Yan. I decided to become Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an. It is hoped that King Jian'an can use the power of Wei to support Sheji. Chin this. ”
He looked at the jade seal on the edict and thought: This is indeed true. Xiao Baojuan is indeed mine.
"Xiao Yunzi, how can a widow be virtuous? He actually asked His Majesty to write such a testament. I hope that Xiao Yunzi can go to Wei with the widow to borrow troops. Xiao Baoyin cried.
The eunuch Xiao Yunzi thought to himself: The people of Wei may not be able to borrow soldiers. However, for now, he can only seek refuge in Wei first.
"Your Highness. Isn't Yuan Cheng of Wei connected to you? As long as we pass through him, we will definitely be able to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Wei. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"It's fine." Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an, said.
Xiao Baoyin remembered the last time he saw Xiao Baojuan:
Xiao Baojuan came to the palace in the suburbs, and when he saw the broken walls, he scolded: "My father is simply a miser." There is no need to be so economical. The roof can be replaced with glazed tiles. ”
"Your Majesty, now the treasury is insufficient." Taichang Chu Cheng (Guozhang) worried.
"You wine bags and rice bags! Anyway, I don't want to do things, there are so many reasons. Without money, don't you know how to collect taxes? Xiao Baojuan scolded.
"Your Majesty, now our Qi State has been at war with the Wei State many times, and Chen Xianda's rebellion has also greatly damaged the vitality of our Qi State. Where will the people have money for Your Majesty? Chu Cheng cried.
"You're all a bunch of shit. I am the Son of Heaven, what qualifications do you have to say no to me? Xiao Baojuan scolded.
Xiao Baoyin thought to himself: If Xiao Baojuan can save some money, it will not be the end of life and death!
