Iron Dynasty

The city of Shouzhou was covered in flames and smoke amid the rumble of artillery fire.

Just as Ye Qingyun said, Lu Fei dispatched Luo Hong to attack Shouzhou City this time.

In this battle, the Luo brothers worked hard and never complained, and Lu Fei saw all this, so in the final battle of Shouzhou, he was going to give some of the credit to Luo Hong.

He did this partly out of respect for the Luo family in the battle of Jizhou, but also in order not to be greedy for merit. He knew that after returning this time, he would definitely be rewarded for merit and deeds, and it would be good for him to take all the credit by himself. .

And he knew Xiao Ming very well, and he believed that Xiao Ming would also want him to do the same.

Shouzhou City was the last remaining city in Wei, and it was also the closest city to Yan.

It is for this reason that the two will attack Shouzhou City after meeting, and there is no other reason, but because they are worried that King Yan will take the opportunity to capture Shouzhou City.

However, they were relieved that King Yan did not launch an attack on Shouzhou City.

Under the joint attack of the two armies, the defenders of Shouzhou City quickly chose to surrender. On April 21, Shouzhou City was destroyed, and all thirteen states in Wei were conquered.

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

Subsequently, the news was passed on to Qingzhou City.

After waiting for more than a month, Xiao Ming showed a sincere smile after getting the news. Now that Wei Di has also been included in his feudal kingdom, the war against Wei Di has finally ended.

After getting the news, he immediately called Fiji and discussed it. On the third day, the two went to Jinling City, a city known as the Great Yu Kingdom and Chang'an. .

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

Six days later, the boat carrying Xiao Ming and a group of officials stopped at the Jinling City Wharf.

On the shore, Xiao Ming smiled bitterly at the city wall that was being repaired at the South City Gate. Needless to say, this was the city wall that Ye Qingyun used artillery to blast away directly.

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

Looking outside for a while, Xiao Ming and the others entered Jinling City.

In fact, Xiao Ming has always longed for Jinling City. After all, it is also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in contemporary Jinling City.

Now that the land under his feet belonged to Jinling City, he was a little excited.

Your Highness.

Ye Qingyun was already waiting for them on the way. Seeing Xiao Ming and others coming, he immediately became a guide, leading Xiao Ming to Jinling City.

I heard that the treasury in Jinling City is very impressive. Xiao Ming asked with a smile.

Ye Qingyun immediately blushed and said, Yes, Your Highness, I was really shocked when the last general opened the treasury this time. I didn't expect King Wei to be so rich. This wealth of Wei is not a legend.

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

Entering Jinling City, Xiao Ming looked around. Now Jinling City seems to have resumed daily life. The people are coming and going on the streets. If it wasn't for the broken city wall behind him, he really doubted whether there was a war here.

Fiji was even more surprised than Xiao Ming. He said, The city will inevitably wither after the war. Why does Jinling City still have such a prosperous image?

Elder Feige, this is not surprising. This attack on Jinling City was a surprise attack, and the people in Jinling City did not have time to escape. Second, we attacked the city very fast, and the treasury and houses in the city were not destroyed by the Wei army. Secondly, we did not harass the people after we entered the city, but these days the people are no longer afraid of us, and gradually returned to the previous scene. Ye Qingyun explained to Fiji.

Fiji and a group of officials were once again impressed by the military discipline of Dengzhou. If this was the army of the Great Yu Kingdom, it would definitely be a looting after entering the city, and how could there be no crime.

With such a strong force of lions, He Chou cannot stabilize the country and expel the barbarians. An official exclaimed.

When other officials heard the words, they echoed. They thought that the battle between Wei and Di would take three years, but they did not expect that everything would be over in less than a year.

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

His Royal Highness, the plaque of this palace has been removed and replaced with the words Royal Court. The rooms inside have also been cleaned. Your Highness can rest here tonight. Ye Qingyun pointed to the Wei palace and said to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming looked at the Wei Palace. In front of the palace gate were two unicorn auspicious beasts two meters high. The two golden beast rings on the red lacquer gate showed a ferocious and solemn color.

Looking inward from the main entrance, there is a white jade stone road that is also the splendid main hall of the palace. The white jade stone road forks next to the main hall.

This Wei Wangfu is really stylish! Xiao Ming smiled.

Fiji said: No, compared to here, His Royal Highness's palace is much stingy. Your Highness, now that Wei Di has decided, should we also consider the capital and the palace.

Xiao Ming frowned when he heard the words. A few months ago, an official made a speech, asking Xiao Ming to build a new capital and a palace.

Xiao Ming rejected this matter in person, and even criticized the official severely. He knew that the official was trying to flatter him, but he didn't want to kill himself and waste money and food.

Now that Fiji brought this up again, he couldn't help but feel a little sullen, and said, Elder Fei Ge, why are you fooling around.

Fiji smiled and said to Xiao Ming: Your Highness, look at the prosperity of this Jinling City, and then look at the style of the Wei Wangfu. In the view of the lower official, this Jinling City is suitable as a new capital.

Really? Xiao Ming rolled his eyes. He looked at Fiji and said, This king doesn't think it's right.

Why? Fiji wondered.

Xiao Ming said: Jinling City is indeed prosperous, but it is a rich and gentle town. I'm afraid it will bury the heroic ambitions. In this king's view, it is better to choose Jinling City than Youzhou.

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

The emperor guards the gate of the country, the king dies, and the land of the barbarians is outside the city of Youzhou. There you will always remember that the threat of the barbarians is right in front of you, and you are intoxicated in this land of fireworks on the Qinhuai River. Xiao Ming sneered. .

He just said this to scare Fiji and others. Now is not the time to move the capital. At least it will not be considered until the prosperity of Youzhou is restored.
