Chapter 1069: Unification (I)
Xinfeng City
The smoke of the war has not dissipated, and the warm and humid air currents of the ocean have brought some warmth a few days ago, but last night the north wind swept and the sky fell snow and rain during the water-vapor conflict, and the sky and the earth were dark.
A woman in a white cloak suddenly appeared in the corner against the wall, looked around and saw no one around, and flashed into an alley...... The aura identification of this large array did not work for her.
The wind and snow in the early morning were still a little cold, the woman tightened her cloak and walked forward, and there were few pedestrians on the street, so she was besieged for seven days, and the market was withered, and most of the discussions were about war.
Half of the people who came to the East Wilderness to develop were drawn from the jurisdiction of the Cai Dynasty, and half of them were brought to Xiangzhou by the king of Qingjun, and she heard more than half of them speak Xiaoxiang softly in this city: "I heard that the sixteen cities of the imperial court have surrendered, and we are left with Xinfeng ......."
"The Han army issued an ultimatum...... Do you think you can hold it?"
"If it weren't for the king's flag that day, ...... would have retreated first"
"Shhh......h
Behind this was silence, the atmosphere was a little sluggish, and even a few words were a little strange: "I have three brothers in my family, and my two brothers have no news, so I will ...... again Who will provide for the family?"
The woman felt that something was wrong when she heard this, and this time no one stopped her on the street to check on her, and the soldiers on patrol Cai Jun were already a little passive and listless......
Far away from the border wilderness and guarding the lonely city, you must be very determined, the real elite is basically folded outside, and now most of the new recruits are young and strong, and they are the families of the Taoist soldiers, and the death of their father and brother has a great impact on them.
The Prince's Mansion
The street is not long, only a moment of time has arrived at the palace, the south wall is continuous, the red wall is yellow tile, a heavy building is hidden in the cypress cedar, it was originally solemn and awe-inspiring.
But today, the splendid courtyard and façade are covered with snow, because no one cares about cleaning in the early morning, you can see a few ruts, no longer past the grand scene of the city, it seems a little silent.
She looked at the door for a while, recognized the place, and then went in, but sighed in her heart: "Originally, the palace was red and yellow, but now there is only a little residual gas, and there is no more magic." ”
"This fortune overturned, but it was so fast. ”
"Leave me alone-" Before entering, he listened to the sound of smashing porcelain, the cups and plates were messy, the man was drinking inside, he was a little drunk early in the morning, or he couldn't sleep after the night discussion, and several beautiful concubines were trembling and waiting, and they were stunned when they saw her come in, and hurriedly saluted: "The princess is ......."
The woman waved them down, and she went over and removed the cups and plates, and sat down on the carved sandalwood chair opposite.
"Go away...... Uh, ma'am, you're ......."
King Qingjun burped, looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, when he was in high spirits and won the Northern Expedition, this lady avoided it, and when she was frustrated and despaired, she came back.
Looking at her beautiful and even more moist appearance, and comparing herself with her unkempt appearance, I couldn't say what I felt for a while: "...... Why are you back?"
"Back to ...... Come and see home. Ning Juan glanced at the rockery and flowing water in the courtyard, many of which she also arranged with her hands, but she followed the rain and hated the clouds, and it was no longer difficult to come back in the future: "How are you going now?"
King Qingjun muttered: "I only regret that I didn't listen to your words at the beginning, Madame, and changed the strategy to the offensive several times, and now the large sums of materials seized by the defeat of the alien city-states have been given to Ye Qing in vain, in front of the powerful 1,000 real people of the Han army, the current strong defense of the city may be able to support for several months, but it is difficult to last, I can only try to ask Yujing for help, stick to the opportunity to wait." ”
Are you still bragging......
Ning Juan remembered the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the streets and alleys outside just now, and felt that half a month might not be able to support it, so she didn't poke it, and whispered: "I wrote to ask my father, and he gave me two ......."
King Qingjun's eyes sharpened and looked at her: "What did your father-in-law say?"
"A Jianyi, if you can manage to maintain the county character, and concentrate on the Tao in the future, it will also match my Muzhou Zhangshui Envoy...... There is also a Jianyì, if you can't maintain it, let me ...... with you and off. Ning Juan said honestly, the so-called reconciliation is not announced to the public, in fact, the dissolution of the marriage, so that both families can save some face.
The atmosphere in the room became a little deadly, Qingjun Wang stood up violently, suppressed his anger with a half-sound, weighed the two options, waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "That's it...... It's always a husband and wife, if you want to go with you, can I still tie you up?"
"Husband......
"Listen to me, there were some things in the past, I was wrong. King Qingjun interrupted her, his face turned to one side, and his eyes flashed: "Madam, no matter what you choose, I don't blame you, let's go...... The trees are falling and scattered, so let's go!"
Ning Juan thought that he was embarrassed because he had lost face, and thought: "I privately think that the first one is good, I will not betray my husband without permission, if you are to ...... to Han Guogong Keep your head down, it's not difficult to get a county, you will be able to live forever in a county, if you let me follow again, it's not good for the monarch's father to force me to leave you......"
"The difficulty is the same as controlling the water, it is useless to slack it and not block it, it is useless to drink stuffy wine, you can always survive by thinking of some way, the royal identity is also worth some money outside, and there is a territory resource to facilitate the cultivation of the Tao in the future, it is much better than going back to Yujing City to be an idle prince and be restrained. ”
"You want me to be a big man and mess with your woman?"
Qingjun Wang Ben had some soft thoughts, and wanted Ning Juan to say a few words in front of Ye Qing, but when she took the initiative to confide in these words, it was clear that she thought that she was inferior to Ye Qing in her heart, and couldn't help but suspect her and Ye Qing again......
Offended the royal pride in his bones, and a nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart: "I haven't become a lost dog yet! It's your turn to take pity on me as a woman...... Oh, I see, are you a lobbyist for Ye Qing? You are the one who revealed the information to him in the past! You go and hug Ye Qing's thigh, and I will stay here to see if Ye Qing can break into Xinfeng City, or if he can treat me!"
"Bang!"
The carved door closed, the angry footsteps faded away, and the room became empty again.
I helped him along the way, and now I'm a spy...... Is this a human being a human being?
Ning Juan's face was angry, her face turned red, her chest rose and fell, and she held her breath: "I thought it had gotten better, but it turned out to be the same......
She did come here to persuade her, it was definitely not Ye Qing's instructions, she just felt that it was better to talk to Ye Qing while her husband's strength was still there, judging from the impression she had from the last exchange with Ye Qing, it was more important to benefit than to save face, just for the sake of the soldiers of the two families to die less, as long as the husband was willing to admit defeat, Ye Qing would most likely give some benefits, at least it could end decently.
But it's not her decision here, her husband is a person who cares about face very much, and when her temper comes up, she can't persuade her at all, and she doesn't know how it ended in the end......
I can't control it if I am constrained by neutrality, but what will happen if the Han army enters the city?
"Boom!"
A loud noise came outside, and the Han trebuchet attacked, and she stood alone in the hall, suddenly sighing.
............
On the first day, the siege battle was over, and the situation in Xinfeng City deteriorated that night, the Han army played Hunan songs outside, and there were songs in the wind and snow in all directions into the city, mourning and heartbreaking, and after singing a song, the Han soldiers from Xiangzhou shouted outside to surrender...... It was like that on the second night, and it was the same on the third night.
This is actually Guo Jia's strategists to get embattled, there is a long history on the ground and similar allusions, so the people outside the besieged city want to come in, the people in the besieged city want to go out, hit it off, every night there are Xiuxian families running out of the city overnight, just two days to catch and kill a batch, the tide expanded and even the soldiers from Xiangzhou in the Cai army were shaken and became deserters.
............
Xinfeng City looks like the city walls are very high and the materials are sufficient, although it has been attacked again and again and is scarred, but it is still far from collapsing.
"Xinfeng City is worthy of the big city of Tude, and it can become the capital of a state in the future......" Ye Qing looked at it, and sighed in his heart, originally more than a dozen cities were still there, and there was still dragon qi, but now all of them have surrendered, the source is cut off, the city is gray and white, and people's hearts have floated.
At this time, a Taoist came over, with fluttering sleeves, saw Ye Qing, stepped forward quickly, and immediately said: "I've seen Han Guogong!"
Ye Qing smiled: "Are you here to descend on me?"
Without hesitation, this Taoist said: "Yes, we cultivators, we should obey the will of heaven, and this time we are here to assist the Duke of Han Guo, take Xinfeng City, and avoid many killings!"
I was shocked in my heart, the original Qingjun King was yellow and yellow, and the blue and purple clouds were drooping, which was not trivial, but the person in front of him, his luck was simply connected into a river, and he felt that he had made the right choice: "The county king, you are just canonized by the court, and your ancestors are in the shade, how can you compare with the real king in front of you?"
Ye Qing didn't go in either, and asked: "I am happy that the Taoist people came to dedicate the city, but the real group is still there, what can you do with a few Taoists?"
This Taoist smiled indifferently: "Cultivating to become a real person, how can you not know the number of days, the Taoist came to be acquiesced, and he only asked the Han State public network to open up, and asked to let us and the king of the county be released, and calmly retreated into the sea." ”
Ye Qing pondered for a moment and smiled: "Good, I can agree to your condition!"
This person was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't need Ye Qing's written guarantee, so he looked at it again: "Han Guogong's words, of course I believe it, tonight, the city gate will be opened." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and left, seeing this person leaving, Ye Qing smiled and waved his hand: "Zilong, if you enter this battle at night, you will lead it." ”
"Yes!" Zhao Yun bowed down and responded, this kind of thing could not be the master of the people.
The night is vast, and since this plan is made, the generals and Ye Qing are not asleep, and when they look closely, they see that most of the city is gray and white, and there is a yellow appearance, and the inside is a light red dragon, which is indistinguishable.
This is naturally clearly witnessed, this is the remaining dragon qi, after some time, a red light in the city, red as blood, straight to the clouds, followed by a soldier, put the fireworks into the sky, the city gate opened.
"Killing", Zhao Yunbu immediately rushed forward, and in the evolution, it turned into a blue light and entered it, only to hear the "sonorous" sound, there was still a trace of dragon qi inside, which was immediately dispersed and turned into invisible.
The moment Cai Chao's dragon qi was cut off here, many courtiers who paid close attention immediately bowed down: "Congratulations to the king, unify the Eastern Wilderness!"
Ye Qing couldn't help laughing, only to see that in the golden clouds, a steady stream of green qi came out, and the green dragon stepped forward to swallow it, just for a moment, it was a big circle, and it had the meaning of looking down on the Eastern Wilderness.
The Eastern Wilderness is unified!
