Amid the rumbling artillery fire, the city of Shouzhou was covered in flames and smoke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As Ye Qingyun said, Lu Fei sent Luo Hong to take on the task of attacking Shouzhou City this time.

In this war, the Luo family brothers worked hard and complained, and Lu Fei saw all this, so in the final battle of Shouzhou, he was ready to give part of the credit to Luo Hong.

In addition to partly out of respect for the Luo family in the battle of Jizhou, but also to not be greedy for merit, he knew that after going back this time, he would inevitably be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and it would be good for him to swallow all the credit alone.

And he also knows Xiao Ming very well, and he believes that Xiao Ming will also want him to do the same.

Shouzhou City is the last remaining city in Weidi, and it is also the closest city to Yandi, and the strategic location is important, as long as Shouzhou City is taken, Yandi can be taken directly.

It is for this reason that the two will launch an attack on Shouzhou City after their division, for no other reason than because they are worried that King Yan will take the opportunity to seize Shouzhou City.

However, what relieved them was that King Yan did not launch an attack on Shouzhou City.

Under the combined attack of the two armies, the defenders of Shouzhou City quickly chose to surrender, and on April 21, Shouzhou City was broken, and the thirteen prefectures of Wei were all overcome.

In the blood-like sunset, Ye Qingyun and Lu Fei led the soldiers into Shouzhou City, and blood and glory shone with them.

Subsequently, the news was transmitted to Qingzhou City.

After waiting for more than a month, Xiao Ming showed a heartfelt smile after getting the news, and now Wei Di has also been included in his feudal state, and the war against Wei Di is finally over.

After getting the news, he immediately called Fiji over, discussed, and on the third day, the two went to Jinling City, which is known as the same prosperous city of Dayu and Chang'an, accompanied by a group of officials who were about to serve in Jinling City.

Because Wei was completely occupied, Xiao Ming did not take a detour by sea, but directly arrived at Jinling City through the canal, and at the same time, Ye Qingyun was also ordered to rush to Jinling City.

Six days later, the ship carrying Xiao Ming and a group of officials docked at the Jinling City wharf.

went ashore and looked at the city wall that was being repaired at the south gate Xiao Ming smiled bitterly, needless to say that this was the city wall that was directly bombarded by Ye Qingyun with artillery.

Fiji and officials followed closely behind Xiao Ming, and they also pointed at the city wall, looking distressed.

After watching from a distance outside, Xiao Ming and the others entered Jinling City.

In fact, Xiao Ming has always longed for Jinling City, after all, in contemporary Jinling City, it is also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the style on the banks of the Qinhuai River is spread in poetry and songs, which is fascinating.

Now that the land under his feet belongs to Jinling City, he can't help but be a little excited.

"Your Highness."

Ye Qingyun was already waiting for them halfway, and when he saw Xiao Ming and the others coming, he immediately became a guide and led Xiao Ming towards Jinling City.

"I heard that the treasury of Jinling City is amazing." Xiao Ming asked with a smile.

Ye Qingyun's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he said: "Yes, Your Highness, I was really shocked when the last general opened the treasury this time, I didn't expect the King of Wei to be so rich, this Wei land is not a legend." ”

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth, it was only when he heard about this huge treasury that he decided to come to Jinling City in person, and the King of Wei was also imprisoned here, he had to deal with this imperial uncle.

Entering Jinling City, Xiao Ming looked around, now Jinling City seems to have resumed its daily life, the people are coming and going on the streets, if it weren't for the broken city wall behind him, he really wondered if there was a war here.

Fiji was even more surprised than Xiao Ming, he said: "After the war, the city will inevitably wither, why is Jinling City still so prosperous?" ”

"Fei Ge Lao, this is not surprising, this attack on Jinling City is a surprise attack, the people in Jinling City have not had time to escape, secondly, we have a very fast siege speed, the treasury in the city, the houses Wei army has not had time to destroy, secondly, we did not attack the people after entering the city, these days the people are no longer afraid of us, and gradually return to the old scene." Ye Qingyun explained to Fiji.

Fiji and a group of officials once again looked at Dengzhou's military discipline, if this was the army of the Great Yu State, it would inevitably be a plunder after entering the city, and how could it be that there was no crime in the autumn.

"With such a strong lion force, why can't you stabilize the country and drive out the barbarians." An official exclaimed.

When other officials heard this, they chimed in, they thought that the battle of Wei would have to be fought for three years, but they didn't expect that everything would be over in less than a year.

Talking all the way, Ye Qingyun took Xiao Ming to the Wei Palace.

"Your Highness, the plaque of this palace has been removed, replaced with the words "royal line", and the rooms in it have also been cleaned, Your Highness can rest here tonight." Ye Qingyun pointed to the Wei Wangfu and said to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming looked at the Wei Palace, in front of the palace were two two-meter-high unicorn beasts, and the two golden beast rings on the vermilion lacquer gate revealed a trace of hideous and solemn color.

Looking inward from the main entrance, a white jade road is also the main hall of the palace, the white jade road forks next to the main hall, and it seems that there are huge buildings behind the main hall.

"This Wei Wangfu is really magnificent!" Xiao Ming smiled.

Fiji said: "No, compared to here, His Royal Highness's palace is much more stingy, Your Highness, now that Wei Di has been decided, should you also consider the affairs of the capital and the palace." ”

Xiao Ming frowned when he heard this, a few months ago, an official had played a game, asking Xiao Ming to build a new capital and build a palace.

Xiao Ming refused this matter in person, and also criticized the official, he knew that this official was trying to make a fool of himself, but he didn't want to die by himself and waste money and food.

Now that Fiji brought up the matter again, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and said, "Elder Feige, why are you making a fool of yourself. ”

Fiji smiled, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, you look at the prosperity of this Jinling City, and then look at the grandeur of this Wei Palace, in the eyes of the lower officials, this Jinling City is suitable as a new capital." ”

"Really?" Xiao Ming's eyes rolled, he looked at Fiji and said, "This king thinks it's inappropriate. ”

"Why?" Fiji is puzzled.

Xiao Ming said: "Jinling City is indeed prosperous, but it is a rich and gentle township, I am afraid that it will bury Haoyun's ambition, in the eyes of this king, it is better to choose Jinling City than to choose Youzhou." ”

"Youzhou!" Fiji was taken aback, "Your Highness is joking, Youzhou is now a barren land, how can it be suitable to become a new capital." ”

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, and outside the city of Youzhou is the land of the barbarians, where you will always remember that the threat of the barbarians is in front of you, and you in the province are intoxicated by the land of fireworks in the Qinhuai River." Xiao Ming sneered.

He said this just to scare Fiji and others, now is not the time to move the capital, at least he will not consider it until Youzhou recovers its prosperity.
