Chapter 768: Angelica (I)
PS: Chapter 2, ask for recommendation votes!
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
The loud chorus shook the yellow rammed earth walls of Yuncheng, making people listen to the color change.
Every moment, more people from all over Yuncheng rushed to hear the news and came over to cheer together. At this moment, they all ran towards the city where Zhao Wuxian was located, pushing and shoving, stumbling, wanting to get closer to him, wanting to hear his voice and touch his toes.
The black-clothed guards arranged by Zhao Wuxian downstairs couldn't keep the crazy crowd out at all, and the crowd surged and Xiaolou seemed to start trembling, and even the generals and staff around him became nervous, only Ji Ran touched his beard with a smile and a sigh of relief.
"Kill a man and the whole country rejoices, and after this day the people of Xilu will admonish each other, and I can already foresee that the father will encourage his son, and the brother will encourage his brother, and the woman will encourage her husband, and they will all say in unison: If there is such a lord who loves his people, why should he die for him? When the general left the Lu State, he was afraid that there would be at least more than 10,000 new troops in the army. ”
Zhao Wuxian was deeply impressed by Ji Ran's foresight, and he smiled: "In Chaoge and Handan, I can't enjoy this kind of treatment. ”
He told himself in his heart that the three or four hundred thousand people in Xilushu County were still the most resolute pillar for him to win this war. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, this huge wave will not overturn him, but will send him straight to the clouds and sail to the sea!
His gaze crossed the people, looked at the half of Yang Sheng's still twitching corpse on the execution ground, sighed and said: "It's a pity that the new clothes are all made of the best Lu Min, let people collect the body for him, peel off the clothes, and send the upper half to the Qi country to leave a memory for the Qi Hou, as for the lower half ......"
Zhao Wuxian stopped talking, touched his short beard and thought about it, should this half of the blood dress be sent to Zheng Guo? Or should you send it to Wei?
……
Unlike the clouds and fog in Yuncheng, the sky in Dong'e is overcast, and more than ten days have passed since the defeat on the south bank of Wenshui, and the news that should be known has almost come back.
However, the initial information that the Marquis of Qi got was not that Guoxia led his troops to surrender, but that "the secretary of state and the prince of the Gao family both died in battle", and a military official who escaped from the battlefield also told the martyrdom of Guoxia to the Marquis of Qi in a colorful way, and the Marquis of Qi wept when he heard it, so he wrote a memorial to Guoxia on the spot.
"Woohoo, inside and outside, rely on the ministers. Haotian doesn't hang, fold my humerus"...... This sacrificial text, full of pestle and sorrow, was torn up by him himself and burned to ashes after a while!
Qi Hou was put on a big oolong, because the news was finally confirmed, Guoxia, he did not die at all, but surrendered to Zhao Wuxian! Or surrender with an army of 30,000!
"Guoxia has failed the widow and mistaken the Qi country!"
Pestle was stabbed heavily in his heart, and suddenly jumped like thunder, and his senses for Guoxia and Gao Wupi plummeted, scolding them for being incompetent and the three armies were affected. He was already dying, and now he was even more angry that he couldn't stay in bed, and the military and political affairs were handed over to Dr. Zhuqing, and he himself took Bao Mu to drive back to Linzi with a strong and airless force.
Chen Qi was appointed as the guard of the southern capital, and he organized nearly 10,000 people to garrison Dong'e and Pingyin, while Yan Yu took 5,000 men to stay at Muling Pass, barely able to block the offensive of Liu Xia's plantar division and Xu Chengshui's army.
However, Chen Qi's mind was not on defending the Lu army, from before the war to after the war, he was single-minded, thinking about how to completely bury the country and Gao Erqing, so that the Chen family would dominate the Qi country!
The Qi army attacked the state of Lu and collided with Zhao Wuxian, a situation that Chen Qi had worked hard to create.
Guoxia and Gao Wupi's request for Dong'e to send troops to answer was also pressed by him, and Chen Qi hoped that the two could fight with Zhao Wuxian.
In the end, the result of the matter was different from what he imagined, Guogao was defeated, but the Zhao family won too easily, which made Chen Qi a little worried, but it was only a hidden worry.
If Zhao Wuxian attacks on a large scale after the Battle of Wenshui, he may also unite with the Secretary of the Interior to jointly defend against the enemy, so as to ensure that the big ship of Qi will not sink, and it will not be too late to drive the invaders away before fighting. Now that he saw that Zhao Wuxian had no desire to attack Qi, but turned his head to rush to the western front, where the army was in full swing, Chen Qi relieved himself and began to concentrate on internal fighting.
The fake news that Guoxia and Gao Wupi died in battle was released by him, and that military official was also his person, in order to make Qi Hou feel that he was deceived and hated Guoxia, and at the same time he no longer believed in Gao Zhang, who was still in the country!
This is just one of his many conspiracies, Chen Qi wants to move down the country, Gao Erqing, make himself the ruler, and hold the authority of the Qi State, so that the unpredictable Ji Shi can seize the opportunity.
Compared with this, although Liu Xia and Xu Cheng are menacing, as long as they ensure that the north of the defense gate is not lost, the territory south of Mount Tai was originally the territory of the Lu State, and now it is harmless to be taken away, anyway, his Chen clan's territory is far north of Jishui, and Zhao Wuxian can't hurt him at all.
Therefore, Chen Qi shrank his troops, almost sitting back and watching the Lu people drive straight in, and at the same time asked his subordinates to pay close attention to Qi Hou's physical condition, and he had to send people back and forth to report three times a day!
He still had some fears about Qi Hou, who was originally a puppet but later regained power through Yan Ying's clever strategy. He has been playing balance in the country, reactivating the second secretary of the national high school to suppress his father Chen Wuyu, and creating Yan Ying and Sima Sui Tho factions to help each other, and after the balance failed, he abandoned Sima Sui Tho and beat the Chen family. When Chen Wuzi died violently, and the young Chen Qi trembled and accepted the not very strong Chen family, Qi Hou pulled them again.
However, this approach, in the eyes of Chen Qi, who has become strong now, is tantamount to digging his own grave.
Qi Hou didn't trust anyone, he just used and weighed, including Chen Qi, if he could stay in Linzi, he would definitely have a better chance to replace Gao Zhang as Zhengqing, but Qi Hou left him in Pingyin. This time, the country and Gao have collapsed, does Pestle and Mortar have to rely on Bao Mu?
But this is useless, Chen Qi knows Bao Mu too well, this person only needs to be instigated a little by himself, he will be led by the nose, and he is by no means a good candidate who can take care of the orphan on his deathbed.
"I heard that the Han clan's upper party has fallen, and the eldest son of the Zhao clan is also in danger. Zhao Wuxian is in a hurry to return west, and should gladly accept the peace agreement I support. But as long as the monarch does not die for a day, the peace talks will not start smoothly, the monarch is already old and confused, and he has fallen into the obsession of fighting for hegemony, for the sake of his own face, he does not hesitate to drag the entire Qi country to accompany the funeral! ”
Fortunately, the death of Qi Hou is not far away, and it can be seen that this septuagenarian has run out of oil, and this long-lived monarch who has reigned for fifty years and curbed the division of power by the secretary of Qi and the doctor is dead, and a partition of the Qi country is also imminent.
Chen Qi had been waiting for this day for decades, and he asked the seaside warlock to eat one or two red pills that would make people feel refreshed, but day after day, they could cut bones and strip the marrow. Qi Hou was on the verge of death, and now, there was only one thing left that could deeply stimulate him.
It was simply a pillow sent by drowsiness, and at this moment, the news of Gongzi Yangsheng's execution in Yuncheng came, along with the blood-stained half-section of the clothes......
"This is a big gift from Zhao Wuxian."
Touching the clothes of the deceased who were still stained with blood, the conspirator Chen Qi showed a smile, he had planned to support Yangsheng, and let his son contact Yangsheng to win his favor, but now it seems that this son can't be supported, whether he dies, his humiliating death, which makes Qi Guo lose face, can just give his father a fatal blow!
At the same time that people quickly sent this thing to Linzi for the monarch's purpose, Chen Qi wrote a letter to his son Chen Heng, who was still in Handan and Hejian.
There are only two words in the letter:
"Angelica!"
