The strongest Marquis in history

When Zheng Shanqi heard this, he immediately became nervous.

Zheng Shanqi is very filial, he is extremely filial to his mother, so when he heard that his mother was sick, he got up and went out.He never forgot to tell the guarding generals to keep a close eye on the city gate, prohibit entry and exit, and then hurried back.

When Zheng Shanqi returned to the house, he went straight to the backyard, but he was a little surprised when he got to the backyard and saw his mother.

Mother is fine, nothing happened.

Zheng Shanqi said: "Mother, aren't you sick? Why are you like this now? It seems that there is nothing wrong."

Zheng Shanqi's mother, Liu Shi, looked very old in her sixties. She smiled slightly and said, "Boss, I asked you to come back because of a letter from your second brother. Please take a look."

When Zheng Shanqi heard this, he immediately became nervous.

Of course he knew about Zheng Shanyue.

This is his second brother.

Zheng Shanqi knew that Yongding City had fallen, and now that Zheng Shanyue sent someone to send back the letter, it was a bit tricky.

Zheng Shanqi took the letter and quickly browsed it. After he finished reading the letter, his complexion changed drastically, and he was even a little nervous. He said, "Mother, how many people know about this letter?"

"Nobody knows."

Liu Shi shook her head.

She smiled and said: "As soon as the person who sent the letter came back, I got to know him and asked about his whereabouts. Now, he is placed in the house and will not be arranged to go out. So don't worry about this letter."

Zheng Shanqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, with Liu's words, nothing will go wrong.

Mrs. Liu said: "Boss, although I said that I don't participate in Russian government affairs, I know about the outside affairs. I heard that Yongding City has been captured by the Qi State. Your second brother is the guard of Yongding City. He sent someone to How could the old man be unguarded when he came back to deliver the news. What did he say in his letter?"

Zheng Shanqi smiled bitterly, and said: "Mother's eyes are like torches, and the letter sent back by my second brother is to ask my Zheng family to submit to the Qi State. Now, he has already submitted to the Qi State. The second brother said that the Qi State is the general trend. Goguryeo, stop Can't live."

Liu said: "What do you think?"

Zheng Shanqi said in a deep voice, "This matter is also difficult for my son."

Liu Shi said, "What's the embarrassment?"

Zheng Shanqi said: "At the beginning, my son's heart was higher than the sky, but he was defeated many times. Thanks to the teacher, he didn't care about it. He even recommended his son to be the general guarding the south city together with the prime minister. The teacher asked me to guard the south city, but now I have to follow the two rules. For my younger brother, if you submit to the Qi State, it is tantamount to betraying the teacher."

"However, the son also knows that what the second brother said makes sense."

"The state of Qi that Goguryeo is facing is extremely powerful, and the disparity in strength between the two sides is so disproportionate at all. Under this premise, even if it is resisting, it is still hitting a stone with an egg."

"Once the death fight resists, the family may also be affected, or even affected."

Zheng Shanqi's heart was very tangled.

He is one left and one right, both are in a dilemma, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, and he doesn't know which side to choose to abandon.

After Liu Shi finished listening, she seemed very calm.

She is very attentive.

You must know that in the past, the Liu family lost her husband in middle age, and she brought two sons, not only to make the Zheng family docile, but also to make the Zheng family flourish, without any vision and ability, it would not work.

Liu's face was full of wrinkles, his expression was calm, and there was a light of wisdom in his deep eyes, and he said slowly: "Boss, you are loyal to the king, and even grateful to the general and the prime minister for taking care of you. These are all things that my mother is proud of. .”

"My son, it's not a white-eyed wolf. This is a good thing."

"Just have you ever thought about one thing?"

"Once you follow Ulji Munung, Li Changha and others, fight to the death together. The final result should be that everyone dies for the country, and there should be no other ending."

Mrs. Liu said: "Instead, you listened to the second child and served Qi. Then, you will be able to take care of the general and the prime minister. Because you surrendered, the Zheng family can speak."

"It is true that this statement is a bit sophistry."

"It also adds a reason to your own betrayal, but in fact, this is the fact of existence."

"If the prime minister and the general resisted to the death and did not cause huge losses to Qi, then that's fine. However, once a huge loss is caused, will Qi finally let the prime minister and the general go?"

"it's out of the question."

"This is what I want to mention."

Although Liu Shi is getting older, she speaks in a leisurely manner, without impatience or panic.She talked eloquently, and after she finished speaking, she said: "Of course, these words are just my old woman's words. After all, they are women's opinions. They may not be very popular or credible. What do you want?" The choice depends on your own arrangements."

Zheng Shanqi's cheeks twitched.

His mother has always been like this when talking, first explaining the truth to you and presenting the facts, and then letting you choose after talking.

Actually, is there a choice?

Everything is very clear.

There is no choice at all.

Zheng Shanqi took a deep breath and said, "Mother, my son understands, and he also knows what to do."

Mrs. Liu nodded and said: "It's good that you know, that's all, go about your own business. After all, you are the general of one party, and the situation is delicate now, so you can't leave Nancheng forever."

"Son leave!"

Zheng Shanqi got up and left. After leaving the mansion, he went straight to Nancheng.

Zheng Shanqi has already made a decision in his heart.

He already knows what to do.

Chapter 894

At the beginning of October, the army led by Wang Qi had already moved south to Yongding City.

The weather has gradually become more chilly.

It's just that the soldiers of the Qi State are all very excited, because until now, the soldiers of the Qi State have been invincible all the way. They arrived at Yongding City, and soon they will arrive at Pyongyang City.

Wang Qi and Nie Feng's armies joined together, and the troops of Yongding City were gathered together. At the same time, a few people were arranged to guard Yongding City, and they replenished food, grass and supplies in Yongding City.

From Datong to the south of the Yangtze River, and then to Caoshankou, Yiying's grain and so on are all supplied by Qi State itself.

Yongding City is different.

Here in Yongding City, it is the guarantee of logistics supplies. With Yongding City, it is not difficult for Wang Qi to go south to attack Pyongyang this time. After all, there is no shortage of food.

After a day of rest in Yongding City, Wang Qi was about to leave for the south.At this time, it was Nie Feng who hurried to Wang Qi's side, and he reported: "Your Majesty, I have important information to report to you."

Wang Qi said: "What information?"

Nie Feng said: "When I captured Yongding City, Zheng Shanyue, the guard of Yongding City at that time, surrendered to our Qi State, and His Majesty also accepted him and allowed him to be a general in Qi State."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "I have the impression that this person is a bit greedy for pleasure."

Nie Feng said: "Your Majesty, from time to time, when he was in Goguryeo in the past, Zheng Shanyue was indeed greedy for pleasure, but after he returned to Qi State, he served Qi State, and the many strategies he proposed were all on the basis of ideas and could hit the key points. Such a person is extremely capable, not an incompetent person."

"As the saying goes, your majesty is a sage, and the people below are naturally influenced by your majesty, so they are extremely talented. And Zheng Shanyue is such a person."

"He no longer enjoys himself, he can fight with soldiers everywhere, and he is both civil and military."

"That's a rare talent."

"Of course, the minister is not here to mention Zheng Shanyue's ability. He is from the Zheng family in Goguryeo, and his family is quite influential in Pyongyang. His elder brother Zheng Shanqi is the general who is in charge of the southern city of Goguryeo."

"Before, Zheng Shanyue arranged for someone to send a letter to Zheng Shanqi, asking Zheng Shanqi to surrender and submit to His Majesty."

"Just now, Zheng Shanyue received the news."

"The Zheng family and even Zheng Shanqi are willing to serve His Majesty. As long as His Majesty's army arrives in Pyongyang, Zheng Shanqi will open the city gate to welcome His Majesty's army into the city."

Nie Feng seemed very happy, and he said: "Your Majesty, if we can directly enter Pyongyang without any effort, then once we capture Pyongyang City, the whole of Pyongyang will be included in the territory of Qi State, and Goguryeo will be destroyed since then."

Wang Qi nodded.

If things are really as Zheng Shanyue said, it is naturally the best, and it can save a lot of fighting.

However, if this is a trap, it will be different.

Even because of Zheng Shanyue's loss of Yongding City, he has already surrendered to the Qi State, which cannot be changed, so Zheng Shanyue's surrender is a real surrender.

However, Zheng Shanqi's surrender is not necessarily, maybe it is a trick.

After careful calculation, Wang Qi said, "I know about Zheng Shanqi's situation. Once Zheng Shanqi opens the city gate and welcomes Master Wang into the city, then I will not hesitate to reward him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nie Feng responded with a smile.

He turned around and left, he had to tell Zheng Shanyue the news and let Zheng Shanyue know the result.

Wang Qi looked at Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng beside him, and said with a smile: "Zishan, brother, do you think Zheng Shanqi's surrender this time is true or not?"

Zhou Zishan said: "According to the truth, Zheng Shanqi's surrender is not a fraud. First, if he cheats, Zheng Shanyue will be in trouble; second, if Zheng Shanqi cheats, once the city of Pyongyang is broken, Goguryeo can't afford to go around. Of course, it does not rule out that Zheng Shanqi is a main combat faction following the Goguryeo king, who insists on going to war and insists on using his name to count His Majesty."

Zhuge Feng's eyes rolled, he had a plan in mind, and he said, "Your Majesty, I think Minister Zhou's words are completely reasonable. Now, we will continue marching south for the time being."

"However, someone arranged to notify Ma Fu who was lurking in Pyongyang, so that he could investigate Zheng Shanqi's situation and learn about his intelligence. After we arrive, we will have news of Ma Fu, so we can make a clear judgment."

"Also, if Zheng Shanqi is willing to open the city gate when we arrive, let Zheng Shanyue lead the troops into the city first. I'd like to see if Zheng Shanqi dares to order an attack even if he has evil intentions."

"Wonderful!"

Zhou Zishan said with a smile: "Minister Zhuge's final arrangement is really the finishing touch. If Zheng Shanqi has no selfish intentions, everything will be easy and smooth. However, even if he has selfish intentions, he is not afraid."

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Brother, you can arrange it."

"As ordered!"

Zhuge Feng responded immediately.

Wang Qi said: "Time is running out, pass on the order and leave Yongding City."

"Yes!"

The orderly made arrangements immediately.

The army continued to march southward in a mighty manner, heading straight for Pyongyang.

Now Wang Qi's side has more troops than ever before, approaching 5 people. After all, Jin Zaishan and Zheng Shanyue have been surrendered, and more than [-] elite soldiers have been assembled.

In particular, there are many personnel from the Ministry of Political Affairs, who are all enriched among the Goguryeo soldiers and continue to do ideological work for these people. Everyone now recognizes Qi and is willing to serve Qi.

The mighty army went south, and when they had traveled less than [-] miles south, a sentry returned and reported that they encountered resistance on the way to Pyongyang City, and that Goguryeo's army was blocking it with the help of high ground halfway.

After Wang Qi heard this situation, he ordered the army to suspend the attack, and then ordered Nie Feng to lead the troops to solve it.

So far, the general trend has come.

A mere block will not make a difference at all.

After Zhou Zishan thought about it, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this situation."

Wang Qi said, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Zishan said solemnly: "It is reasonable to say that there is no possibility of resistance after the news of Jin Zaishan's surrender and Park Yuanqi's capture. As long as Goguryeo is completely in chaos, it will not resist halfway. But now, There is an army blocking the way, which means that Goguryeo is determined to resist, and Goguryeo king Pu Yisheng will also directly resist to the end."

Wang Qidao: "Zi Shan's analysis is indeed reasonable. Goguryeo should be determined to resist. Since Pu Yisheng decided to fight to the death, then can we conclude that Zheng Shanqi's side may be Park Yisheng's bait?"

Zhou Zishan said: "I'm not sure yet."

Zhuge Feng also echoed, "We still need more definite information about Zheng Shanqi's problem."

Wang Qi said: "Zheng Shanqi is here, just ignore him for the time being. Everything will proceed according to our rhythm. What's more, with Park Yuanqi here, we can also use this to deal with Pu Yisheng. Whether he really wants to resist or not, he can use Park. Yuan Qi's."

Zhou Zishan said: "That's the truth."

Wang Qi thought for a while and said, "Come here, tell Jin Zaishan to come."

"Yes!"

The soldier got the order, turned around and went down to inform.

Not long after, Jin Zaishan came to Wang Qi, bowed and saluted, "Jin Zaishan, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

Wang Qi said: "Jin Zaishan, do you know about Zheng Shanqi?"

"Know!"

Jin Zaishan said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to the relationship, Zheng Shanqi and I are brothers in the same school. I am a senior brother and he is a junior brother. Zheng Shanqi and I both studied under the great general Ulji Munxiong."

Wang Qidao: "Tell me, what are the characteristics of this person?"
