The strongest Marquis in history

"It's just that the identity of the old man is different. Once he acts rashly, he will be slaughtered."

"You are not particularly prominent in Chang'an. So if you stay, it won't affect you. You go to join Wang Qi, and show that my Li family is willing to drive me, and the old man is willing to serve as his internal support and provide him with information."

Li Hongzhong said: "This is your task, and it is also to leave a way out for my Li family."

"Yes!"

Li Yannian responded directly.

At this point, he couldn't refuse, because once he refused, it would be tantamount to cutting off the Li family's retreat.

Li Hongzhong waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can find a place to hide yourself. Today's Chang'an City has become a place of right and wrong. If you are not careful, you may be slaughtered."

"Grandson leave!"

Li Yannian turned around and withdrew.

The people in Li Hongzhong's house simply cleaned up, and he took the people to set off for the west city.As soon as they arrived in the west city, the emperor had brought everyone in the harem with him, besides a group of imperial guards.

One after another, officials also arrived.

After all, there were not many officials in the court, and the people who came gradually gathered.

After Zhao Gan and others arrived, and the soldiers collected all the officials' money, the army set off, escorting batches of food and money, and hurried away.

The remaining Chang'an City has become a region.

The weather in late June has gradually become quite hot. In this hot weather, although the corpses in the city have not decomposed for the time being, they are very easy to breed many diseases.

When Wang Qi led the army to arrive, he sent out to report the situation in the city. He ordered people to make simple masks to cover the mouth and nose, and then ordered the corpses in the city to be cleaned up and all cremated.

As for the streets in the city, they were all sprinkled with lime for disinfection.

It is true that there may not be an epidemic, after all, it will not be long.

But Wang Qi can't be careless. In this era, once a plague occurs, it will be irreversible and uncontrollable.Therefore, Wang Qi must be cautious.It took two full days before everything was cleaned up.

At this time, Yan Chixing came to Wang Qi's tent of the Chinese army outside the city, and reported: "Your Highness, the current situation in Chang'an City has been counted."

Wang Qi said: "Tell me, what is the situation."

Yan Chixing replied: "According to our statistics, more than 8000 people were massacred in Chang'an City, and countless families were destroyed. Chang'an is completely empty."

"Emperor Zhao Gan of the Great Zhou Dynasty took people to Xiliang. There used to be granaries for the grain in Chang'an City, but Zhao Gan moved some of it away and burned the rest."

"Speaking of the fire, it's even more annoying."

Yan Chixing gritted his teeth and said, "In Chang'an City, countless houses were burned down, making the situation of the people in the city even worse."

Wang Qi's eyes were sharp, and he said: "Zhao Gan's actions really cut him off from the world."

Yan Chixing said: "The emperor Zhao Qian is not very old, and his thoughts are really vicious."

Zhou Zishan was sitting at the bottom, and he said, "Those who have gained the Tao will be helped more than those who have lost the way. Today, we can use the Chang'an incident to publicize it to the outside world. Your Majesty, I suggest that you tell Zhu the news. Shangshu, ask him to arrange someone in charge of Qi Guo Daily to publicize Zhao Qian's evil deeds in Chang'an, so that the world will know what Zhao Gan has done."

Wang Qi said: "Send the news back immediately."

"Follow your orders!"

Zhou Zishan responded immediately.

Yan Chi said: "Your Highness, can we send troops to Xiliang now?"

Wang Qi shook his head and said: "Attacking Zhao Gan in Xiliang is a matter of time. But at the moment, the people in Chang'an should be rescued first. Although countless people were killed, countless people's homes were destroyed, and countless people lived in misery. It's okay, you have to stabilize people's hearts, first stabilize the situation in Chang'an, and then consider other things. It will be a matter of time to clean up the emperor."

Yan Chi said: "The general understands."

"Report!"

At this moment, Li Wuji's voice came again. Li Wuji stood still and said, "Your Highness, Li Yannian is asking to see you. This person claims to be the grandson of Li Hongzhong, Minister of the Great Zhou."

Wang Qi said: "Bring people in."

"Yes!"

Li Wuji immediately made arrangements.

Not long after, Li Yannian entered, he stood still and said: "Li Yannian, a grassroots man, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Qi."

Chapter 775 The Theory of the Imperial Capital

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Li Yannian, why are you here to see me?"

Li Yannian said: "Reporting to the King of Qi, the Caomin came to see the King of Qi on the orders of their ancestors."

Wang Qi raised his brows and said in surprise, "Oh, does Mr. Li have any other arrangements?"

Li Yannian said: "Grandfather has been working in Dazhou all his life. He said that he was born as a Zhou man and died as a Zhou minister. Because when the emperor left, it was very unwise to order the people to rob the people of food, money, and slaughter them. Grandfather is willing to submit to Qi. King, at the same time grandfather stayed by Zhao Qian’s side, willing to deliver news for King Qi. My Li family is willing to serve King Qi, and I beg King Qi to accept it.”

In these remarks, Li Yannian changed some words.

Li Hongzhong was indeed willing to pass on news for Wang Qi, but he didn't say anything more about surrendering and surrendering. He only considered the safety of the Li family and went to Xiliang with the emperor.

Now Li Yannian has changed a bit, telling the truth and falsehood.Anyway, it is best to take this step and surrender.

Wang Qi said: "Li Yannian, you know exactly what the consequences of deceiving this king are."

"Know!"

Li Yannian replied immediately.

Wang Qi's eyes were sharp, and he continued: "This king trusts you. Since the Li family has surrendered, you will stay by my side and do things."

"Follow your orders!"

Li Yannian answered directly.

It was Li Hongzhong's arrangement that he served under Wang Qi's command.With this arrangement now, the Li family has a breakthrough under Wang Qi's command.

Wang Qi waved his hand, Li Yannian stepped back, Wang Qi looked at Zhou Zishan, and asked, "Military Master, do you think this is a real submission, or a fake submission?"

Zhou Zishan said: "My humble opinion is that it should be a sincere surrender. After all, the current Dazhou is already in danger. An old fox like Li Hongzhong clearly wants to keep a hand and wants to pave the way for Li Yannian, so Li Yannian is in charge of the Li family's surrender. Things. As for other remarks, just listen to them."

Wang Qi said: "This king also thinks so."

After a pause, Wang Qi continued: "Military Master, if we want to help Chang'an, when do you think it is suitable for us to attack Zhao Gan and wipe out Zhao Gan?"

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness, the sooner the better to attack Zhao Gan. But at the moment, I think we can wait for the news from Zhenbeihou. When Zhenbeihou arrives, Zhenbeihou will sit in Chang'an, and we will go to Liang The state mopped up troops from all over the country. In fact, what we are going to do now, I think His Highness, can prepare to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

One word from him was like thunder on the ground.

Advise directly.

Wang Qi said, "What's the reason?"

Zhou Zishan's eyes were sharp, and he said: "For example, Zhao Gan and others who fled to Liangzhou, are they powerful? Not too strong. After His Highness proclaims himself emperor, he only needs a piece of imperial edict, which will be sent directly to Liangzhou to make everyone panic. Kill Zhao Gan."

"In this way, someone will come with Zhao Gan's head. After all, at the moment, no one can resist. These people have no choice but to kill Zhao Gan and surrender in order to curry favor with His Highness."

"That's the advantage we have right now."

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, enthronement and proclaiming emperor is the most important thing."

Wang Qi nodded and said, "That's the truth."

Zhou Zishan continued: "In addition, let's talk about the land of Bashu. Although Zhang Tianyi proclaimed himself emperor and established the Shu Kingdom in Bashu, for us, a person like Zhang Tianyi living in a corner is a battle between trapped beasts. "

"He has nowhere to escape. Under the general situation of the Qi State, he can only surrender. As long as His Highness proclaims himself emperor, the entire Shu Kingdom will be afraid. Even if Zhang Tianyi resists, he will be in trouble."

"So it's justifiable to use His Highness to proclaim himself emperor. Besides, His Highness is now in charge of all parts of the world, so he should be proclaimed emperor, so as to calm people's hearts."

Wang Qi pondered over it carefully, and Zhou Zishan's suggestion was indeed the most appropriate under the current circumstances.

The general trend of Qi has been established.

Wang Qi thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "When it comes to the establishment of a country, it is not a trivial matter to discuss it carefully."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zishan nodded and answered.

He became happy in his heart, because Wang Qi no longer resisted after probing it just now, and it was a matter of course for Wang Qi to proclaim himself emperor next.

"Report!"

At this moment, another soldier entered and reported: "Your Highness, the army led by Marquis Zhenbei has arrived in Chang'an, less than ten miles away from Chang'an City, and will join us soon."

Wang Qi said: "Understood!"

Counting the time, Wang Qi took all the generals under his command to wait in the front camp of the army.It didn't take long, and outside the camp, there was already a mighty army rushing over.

The people who came were Wang Zongxi, Xiao Qingzhi and Yang Shanjun.

Wang Qi was waiting at the gate of the camp. When Wang Zongxi approached, he stepped forward and saluted, "Father!"

Wang Zongxi got off his horse, patted Wang Qi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This time, you boy easily captured Guanzhong and the entire Guanlong area. Not bad, very good."

Wang Qi said: "Father praised you."

"Let's go, enter the camp."

After Wang Qi finished speaking, he took Wang Zongxi into the camp, and the rest of the soldiers also returned together.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, father and son sat facing each other.

Wang Zongxi said: "When I arrived in Chang'an, I already knew about the situation of the emperor. The emperor of Zhou had already withdrawn and slaughtered the people. This incident really made you even more troublesome. After all, the one who took over was the A mess."

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Father, the problem is actually not that big. If there are big families everywhere in this area, it will be difficult to deal with. Zhao Gan's murder is equivalent to clearing the place for me."

"For the Qi Kingdom, this is a good thing. The only disadvantage is that the massacre this time has caused great damage to the people. After all, after the massacre, many of the people's families were destroyed."

Although Wang Qi felt sorry for the common people, but rational analysis, the current situation is actually better.

Wang Zongxi sighed: "No matter what, the people are suffering!"

After a pause, Wang Zongxi said: "You have already won Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is predictable that many people will persuade you to come in and persuade you to become emperor. How do you think about it?"

Wang Qi said, "I'm considering becoming emperor."

Wang Zongxi said: "Father fully supports what you want to do. You turn to destroy the Great Zhou, and the next step is to govern the region. Leading troops to fight wars is completely different from governing the region."

"When leading troops to fight, you are a great master, and you have gathered a group of masters at the master level, and even more masters at the master level are driven by you. To put it bluntly, with this power, no one in the world can stop you of."

"It's very easy for you to lead troops to fight. In a short period of time, you can clear up the chaos and sweep up the situation in the world."

"The problem is that it is not easy to govern a place. The world is too big, and problems are prone to occur everywhere. There is no rush, and it requires enough patience and a little bit of arrangement."

Wang Zongxi said: "Therefore, don't rush to govern the region, you can only do it step by step. If you think of governing the region as the same thing as conquering various places, you will suffer a loss."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, the son understands this."

Wang Zongxi said: "If you have this preparation, I don't worry. In short, I will fully support it. If you need my help, you can arrange it. Now the war is about to end, the world is settled, the old man is fine, I am bored!"

When Wang Qi heard this, his heart moved, and he said, "Father, there are indeed some things here."

Wang Zongxi said: "What's the matter?"

At this time, Wang Zongxi suddenly became interested. After all, at the moment, the North of the Great Zhou does not need him to guard.Even before that, he assisted the Tuoba clan of Xianbei to destroy the tribes of Xianbei, making Xianbei unified.

Xianbei has been gutted now and dare not provoke Qi State, so it is meaningless for him to be in Yuyang County.

What's more, Wang Qi is now about to become the emperor of Qi, so it is impossible for him to continue to guard the place.

Wang Qi said: "It is extremely difficult to enter Bashu from Guanzhong. Now, the Shu Kingdom will not be attacked for the time being. But for the strategy of the Shu Kingdom, although there is news from the Intelligence Bureau, it is still seriously insufficient."

"In this regard, I have to plan. I want to ask my father to go to Shuzhong first. In the Hanzhong area, I will try to subdue a local sect gang and develop power step by step."

"When I attack Bashu, my father will naturally help me. The power of the Zongmen gang is not a weak force. When it is powerful, it is enough to overthrow the power in the officialdom."

Wang Qi said: "Father, you are my pathfinder."

After Wang Zongxi heard it, there was a smile on his face, and he said: "No problem, I will deal with this matter."

After a pause, Wang Zongxi said: "You mentioned the sect management just now. When the old man was with Qi Changsheng, he once said that you asked him to prepare to form a sect administration to be responsible for integrating the sect gangs in the world. All the power of the sect has been gathered into your hands, is there such a thing?"

"Have!"

Wang Qi nodded and answered.

Wang Zongxi frowned slightly, and said: "This matter is not easy! Warriors have always been rebellious. Although the warriors in Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places were all influenced by you, they may be easy to accept. The problem is that there are too many other places. These warriors may not be under your control!"

Wang Qi said: "Father, don't worry, this matter will not be difficult. Now Sanqing Temple and Zixia Mountain are on my side. Under the two major forces, no one can resist. Of course, in the process of advancing, there will naturally be Let’s solve the many problems slowly. After the establishment of a country, it is impossible to live in a complete way. It needs a little bit of improvement to ensure the safety of the people. And the control of warriors is the most important thing. "

Wang Zongxi said: "Your boy is always right, that's all, you can figure it out, you can figure it out."
