Chapter 223: Pacification (II)
On the third day, the situation in the city stabilized.
The sky was dark, the sun had not fully risen, and Wang Hongyi had washed up.
After a hurried meal, he hurried to the city in the middle of the city.
Perhaps he was embarrassed by Wei Yue's death, Wang Hongyi, who was riding in the carriage and going in a low-key manner, did not get off the carriage after arriving at the destination, but sat in the carriage and watched for a while from a long distance under heavy protection.
Although Wei Yue slaughtered a lot of old ministers that day, but Wu Di alone could not kill them, at this time, these people rushed to see the scene of the soldiers whipping Wei Yue's corpse.
At this time, some people couldn't help crying, and one shouted: "Wei thief should die!"
There are also people who cry out sadly: "Da Yan Zhongxian, open your eyes and see what happens to this thief!"
Seeing this scene, Wang Hongyi in the carriage also sighed faintly.
He was not sighing for the Great Yan Dynasty, but actually for Wei Yue's corpse, which was being whipped and cursing at this time.
If Wei Yue one day pacified the world, what will be said in the history books a hundred years later?
I don't know if this corpse is true or not, but even if it is fake, as long as everyone thinks it is true, it is enough, spurring Wei Yue's corpse to avenge the revenge of Dayan, and he won the hearts of the people.
Wang Hongyi couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly remembered something on the earth, saying that after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Kangxi later visited the ancestral tomb of Taizu, and he calmed people's hearts, and he didn't want to be the same today.
"Let's go back!" After watching it for a while, seeing that the farce in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, he put down the car curtain, Wang Hongyi said lightly, he was not interested in this matter.
"No. Someone agreed, and under the protection of the forbidden army, the carriage turned around and quickly left here.
Chang'an, Qin Palace, the Great Hall.
Guo Wentong and the generals were discussing military affairs.
Some time ago, Wang Hongyi's 200,000 troops set out from Chu to attack Wu Yue, and the defense of Hanzhong and Shangyong was very solid, but Guo Wentong still did not give up on taking advantage of the chaos to invade and catch fire in the rear.
I think that at the beginning, when Wang Hongyi was not the king of Chu, he mobilized a large army, and under the watchful eye of the world, he coerced Qindi, making him embarrassed and losing face, although it was only a false alarm in the end, but for Guo Wentong, this matter was a lingering shame.
With the increasingly strong strength of Chu Di and the fact that Qin Di had just been pacified, it was undoubtedly asking for trouble if he wanted to send troops to attack Chu Di and avenge the revenge of the day.
This does not mean that Guo Wentong does not have the slightest action against Wang Hongyi, they are both princes, although their strength is strong and weak, the gap is not so big that they cannot be opposed.
As long as Wang Hongyi's Chu army is dragged to death by the Wu army in Wu Land, after a long time, the army's morale will be chaotic.
And even if it is an iron bucket-like defense in the rear, there will inevitably be flaws, and then it will be time to take advantage of the elite Qin army to take advantage of it.
It's just that the development of things caught Guo Wentong off guard.
Wei Yue was killed in this way, which made Guo Wentong quite depressed.
The continuous transmission of information from Wu Di shows that the Chu army is like a bamboo, and the Wu army is defeated, this one-sided situation, how can he take advantage of the chaos?
However, two days ago, after receiving the military report of Wudi's defeat and retreat, Guo Wentong still held a wait-and-see attitude.
In Guo Wentong's view, no matter how poor the Wu army is, with the foundation of Wei Yue's many years of operation in Wudi, it should not be a problem for this Jinling City to hold on for a few months.
At this moment, Guo Wentong is waiting, that is, the situation where the Chu army is firmly dragged has happened!
"Is there any news from Jinling City?" Guo Wentong swept over the officials in the hall with an expressionless face, and asked one of them.
This person is in charge of sorting out the scout's report.
"Your Majesty, there is no news in the direction of Jinling for the time being!" the officials hurriedly lined up and reported to Guo Wentong.
"Isn't there any news yet?" Hearing this, Guo Wentong's eyebrows furrowed slightly. I was a little uneasy and a little anxious.
It stands to reason that the two armies of Wu and Chu fought, and during the period when they were entangled in Jinling, it was the most chaotic time in Wu, and the report was sent out earlier, why has there been no news back until now?
Now, it has been a few days since the previous spy report arrived at him, and Wang Hongyi's army should have trapped Jinling City a long time ago, but the scout detective report has not moved at all!
"Could it be that there has been a big change in Jinling City, and the Wu army or the Chu army have blocked the news?" Guo Wentong thought to himself.
And just as Guo Wentong was thinking in his heart, a forbidden army outside the main hall came in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report." ”
"Let him in. Guo Wentong said.
A moment later, an officer in charge of the scout's report came in from outside, and when he entered the main hall, he saw the lord Guo Wentong sitting in the upper seat looking at him, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty, I just heard the news from the front, Jinling has been captured by the Chu army eight days ago, Wei Yue has died, and at this time, many of the counties in Wu have surrendered to the king of Chu. The man said quickly.
After hearing this, Guo Wentong's face changed drastically: "What? The Chu army captured Jinling eight days ago?"
Walking briskly in the temple, his anger not only did not disperse, but gathered more and more, and finally he could not bear it anymore, drew his sword and struck the pillar, and shouted: "Ruin!"
Wei Yue, you are called a hero in vain, you have been operating in Wu for many years, you have been in Jinling, and you have been fighting horses for half your life, but in just a few days, you were wiped out by the Chu army in one go!
On that day, Wang Hongyi's army attacked Jingzhou, and it was not so fast!
After striking a few swords in a row, sawdust flew all over the place, and after a while, Guo Wentong calmed down.
No matter what the reason, the Chu army won the final victory, and the situation in Wu must not be able to stabilize in a short time, in this case, his thoughts during this period of time are not a joke?
"I only hope that Wudi Zhongfu County will consume Wang Hongyi's troops as much as possible......" Up to now, Guo Wentong could only sigh secretly in his heart.
Kawaguchi-gun
All 3,000 people moved forward without hurry.
Mostly infantry, spread out in marching arrays, with red armor and banners.
A big flag is flying, and under the flag, there are generals.
The army marched steadily, and the flags were carried one after the other, in an orderly manner.
According to the army, at this time, the march was fifty miles a day, and because the requirements were not high, the march was strict and solemn.
The general rode on the horse in high spirits, looked back approvingly, and now the overall situation has been decided, not so much a battle, but a show of the prestige of the king.
Now that's just right.
As he was moving forward, a horse suddenly came back in front of him.
"Report! The city gate of Kawaguchi County in front has been opened, and the officials guarding the city with a group of officials are waiting outside the city gate, and the flag on the head of the city has also been replaced with the Chu flag, depending on the situation, they are ready to surrender to our army!" After turning over and dismounting, and kneeling on the ground, the scout said quickly.
"Hehe, those who know the times are Junjie, and the guards here are not stupid. After hearing this, the general immediately smiled.
The adjutant general also nodded and said, "Yes, this person is very knowledgeable about current affairs, general, let's go, let's go and take over this city." ”
The two of them had encountered this many times, and they were not surprised.
The army multiplied and moved on.
When they arrived outside the city, sure enough, some people took the initiative to surrender the city.
In other counties, the situation is more or less the same.
Since Jinling was conquered by the Chu army, the counties and counties of Wu did not wait for the arrival of the army, they changed their banners and surrendered, and in just ten days, the south was already unified. Set sail update group provided by Tianhuo Longjun
Jinling, in the mansion where Wang Hongyi temporarily lived.
In the large study room of the back house, Wang Hongyi was sitting in front of the desk, looking at the good news that was constantly being sent.
"Your Majesty, most of the prefectures and counties of Wu have surrendered to the Chu army, but on the 10th, Wu Di is peaceful, and the ministers congratulate the king here, and the king has leveled half of the southern half of the country. Zhang Youzhi said.
Wang Hongyi said: "Alas, although the south is calm, the chaos in the north is still there, and the grassland is also getting stronger day by day, I am afraid that the day of the big war is not far away." ”
"The king doesn't have to worry, Guo Wentong of Qin will unify Qin, and his strength is not weak, even if the grassland barbarians invade, he must pass through Qin first, and the kings of the northern land are the same, when the northern war comes, the two sides will be consumed, so why be afraid?" Zhang Youzhi didn't care too much about the power of the grassland.
Wang Hongyi shook his head: "Zhang Qing, you don't know, the grassland is not trivial, that is, there are princes in the north who consume troops, but they are just buying some time. ”
In the previous life, he had seen the courage and good fighting of the steppe cavalry, good at riding and fighting, advancing and retreating properly, and not afraid of death.
Zhang Youzhi couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that the lord attached so much importance to the grassland cavalry.
"By the way, King Qin and King Wei, what are the moves?" asked Wang Hongyi.
"Your Majesty, there were some moves some time ago, but since the fall of Jinling, there has been no movement. Zhang Youzhi said.
"They are well-informed, and there will be no shortage of detailed work in various places in this Wu area, so let people pay close attention to this aspect and carry out some necessary cleanups. ”
"No. Zhang Youzhi responded, and said: "The six departments have reached Jinling, and the imperial ships of the queen mother and queen will also arrive tomorrow." ”
"The palace has been cleared, and the king can enter the palace. ”
Wang Hongyi responded and said, "Lone knows, you can step down, Lone will welcome the queen mother and queen tomorrow, and live in the palace." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Yuzhi responded and retreated.
Wang Hongyi leaned back, sighed, at this moment, it was too late to be surprised, I felt that the top of the tripod shook violently, "boom", the tripod changed violently, only to see it violently expanded several times, the tripod is even more dragon and tiger circling, full of mysterious symbols, full of sacred majesty.
In the expanded Wang Ding, the lilac qi quickly transformed into purple qi, and the natal qi on top also turned into purple qi.
Almost at the same time, the pillar of dragon qi, thick and large, violently expanded several times.
In an instant, the sun and moon appeared in the purple qi, and in just a moment, the original dragon became a red dragon.
The red dragon flew and roared in the sky, and the town weighed down the entire south.
