wealthy queen

The officials of Huaiyang City led the people to open the city gate to welcome Xia Jun, and the news that they received the courteous treatment promised by the empress and empress quickly spread to nearby cities, and then spread all the way to more and farther cities through nearby cities. The people of Qin who admired the empress Shen Liang were even more ecstatic. Everyone was looking forward to Xia Jun's quick appearance, especially the people in Qinhuang City. Even though Shen Liang had left for a year and a half, they still regarded him as their own son. Still firmly believe that only he will treat them kindly.

The Xia army divided into four groups, except for the one led by Mrs. Pei Yuanlie, the other three routes did not go so smoothly at the beginning. The city is another matter, but after the news of Huaiyang City spread, the people who originally resisted in the city became more and more agitated, and some even became agitated. The gates of the city were driven straight in by Commander Xia, while some soldiers who defended the city quietly opened the gates, because they were also ordinary people, and some of them knew that they were not their opponents after resisting. He quietly took his family and left the people behind and fled. In a word, most of the cities were destroyed by themselves.

The Xia army led by Pei Yuanlie and his wife did not disappoint the trust of the people. Every time they entered a city, they would order the soldiers to discipline themselves and not harass the people. If there were soldiers who were willing to join the city, they would accept them regardless of the past. After the stay, officials will be left behind to carry out follow-up work to organize and appease the capital, but none of the cities occupied by the Xia army rioted again.

Along with Xia Jun's benevolence, there are more and more rumors about the benevolence of Emperor Xia's husband, not only Pei Yuanlie and his wife, but also Jing Xiran, father and son and Tianshu who led the army. There were more cities to welcome them, and in less than four months, the Xia army divided into four groups was about to approach the downstairs of the Qinhuang City.

At the same time, after Fu Yunxi received the letter from Shen Liang, he disregarded the opposition of all the officials, forcibly increased the frontier fortress, and used the power of the whole country to cooperate with General Ling and his son and Han Botao to attack Chen Guo. He resisted tenaciously, but he still couldn't resist the invasion of Wei, Ling's and Han's troops. He lost nearly ten main cities in four months. Chen Zhiyuan was so angry that he jumped up and down. the object of being invaded.

Compared with Chen State, the Northern State is even worse. After the Huo Family Army and the Wei Family Army successively entered the Northeast battlefield, all the cities they occupied were taken back in less than half a month. After Wei and Huo's army recaptured the lost city, they did not stop fighting. The million-strong army pointed directly at the border town of the Northern Kingdom. Beichen was full of confidence at first. After all, all the troops of the Northern Kingdom were suppressed in the border town. When the Wei family army attacked the city, a whole row of cannons that they had never even seen before was placed in front of them. When the sound of the cannons sounded, and the picture of the Beiguo city tower collapsing appeared in front of his eyes, Beichen was terrified. He never dreamed that, except for that In addition to this powerful crossbow with super attack power and super long shooting distance, the Wei family army actually hides such a terrible weapon.

Chen Guo and Bei Guo couldn't resist the offensive of Wei Guo, Xia Guo and Wei Jiajun. Chen Zhiqi and Bei Chen had no time to collude. They all vaguely realized that Pei Yuanlie wanted to eat them directly and dominate the world. Today's offensive It's not the fiercest and most powerful one yet. Once Pei Yuanzheng fully occupies the Qin State and frees up his hands, the more than 100 million soldiers in his hands may also be thrown into the battlefield. At that time, they really have no chance of winning Well, their only hope is that Qin will be more competitive and not lose so quickly.

"Report, Xia Guo's army is less than two hundred miles away from the imperial city."

Qin Huangcheng, on the Golden Luan Hall, the crown prince in charge of supervising the country, Qin Yunshen, sat high on the dragon chair, and all the civil and military officials bowed their heads.

"Do you have any good strategies for retreating?"

Waving his hand to retreat the messenger, Qin Yunshen's brows were furrowed. He never dreamed that, seeing that he was about to get what he wished for, and when he was only one step away from ascending to the throne, Qin Yunlie and Shen Liang actually took such a short time. Hit the imperial city.

There are soldiers but no soldiers, money but no money, what good strategies can they have?

There was no sound in the Golden Luan Hall, and all the civil and military officials were silent. Because of Shen Liang, the hearts of the people were all the way to Xia Jun. Most of the cities were taken by them without much fighting. The people in the imperial city heard that Xia Jun was getting closer. Afterwards, they also became more restless. Regardless of their own safety, they collided head-on with the court several times. They even heard the soldiers of the Imperial City Army privately discussing whether they should simply surrender if the Xia army attacked. Under the circumstances, what else can they do to turn the tide?

"Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Xie Ge, who claims to be sick at home, can be of use to us."

After an unknown amount of time, Elder Qian Ge suddenly bowed and stood up. Qin Yun's deeply frowning brows relaxed a little: "Oh? How do you use it?"

As early as when Wei State united with Xia State to attack Chen State, he had already ordered people to pay attention to Xie's family secretly. The friendship between Shen Liang and Fu Yunxi and his wife was stronger than anyone expected. Guo Guo's initiative to ask for help to block Chen Guo is completely nonsense, their purpose is just to keep Xie's family.

"As we all know, the relationship between Empress Wei and Queen Xia Shen Liang is extraordinary. The best proof is that Wei Guo spared no efforts from the whole country to cooperate with Xia Guo to attack Chen Guo, and Mr. Xie Ge and everyone in Xie's family are The direct relatives of Empress Wei Xie Yan, Shen Liang must also attach great importance to them, and will not take their lives as a trifling matter, as long as we catch Mr. Xie Ge and Xie's family and stand in front, Xia Guo's army will not dare to cross the line again step."

Raising his head, Mr. Qian Ge was full of smiles and talking eloquently. Mr. Zhao Ge, who was standing next to him with his head down, frowned almost imperceptibly. After all, he and Mr. Xie had known each other for decades, and he had already seen that Qin The royal family's defeat is an inevitable trend. If anyone can keep his Zhao family in the end, maybe only Xie Ge will be old.

"Your Highness, no, Mr. Xie Ge is the elder of the three dynasties. He has peaches and plums all over the world. He has been an official all his life and has never been criticized in the slightest. If we take them as a shield just to retreat, how will the students and people in the world treat us? Even if we If we have kept the Great Qin Dynasty, who will really obey us? Think twice, Your Highness!"

Looking up at Qin Yunshen, Mr. Zhao Ge, who had not expressed his opinions in the court hall for a long time, stood up desperately. He no longer cared about his personal life and death. He only hoped that if Lao Xie got out of trouble, he would be able to see his pleading for him today. Protect his Zhao family blood.

"My minister agrees."

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

With him taking the lead, those who are upright and trust the two elders all stood up, but unfortunately, their number is less than one-third of the civil and military figures in the Manchu Dynasty.

"Mr. Zhao Ge's words are wrong. Now that Great Qin is in danger, Xia's army is about to approach the city. If Mr. Xie Ge is really dedicated to serving the country and the people, he should not mind standing up to protect Great Qin. If not, he will fight with you Collaborating with the enemy is no different, why can't they be arrested?"

Qin Yunshen didn't speak, as if he was assessing, Qian Ge turned around sharply, and looked aggressively at Zhao Ge who was kneeling on the ground.

Raising his head, Elder Zhao Ge also said unceremoniously: "Old Xie Ge has been seriously ill for several months, and he has ignored the government for a long time, how can he cooperate with the enemy? Elder Qian Ge, let Benge say something bluntly, if today you and Elder Xie Ge If you change your position, will you take the whole family and take the initiative to stand up to protect Daqin?"

It's just nonsense. With Daqin's current appearance, why are you talking about collaborating with the enemy?He can guarantee that even if they really push Xie Ge's old family out, they will not be able to keep Daqin. At most, they will only delay their attack for a few days. Could it be that he still expects to use Xie Ge's family to force Xia Jun to withdraw from Daqin completely? Land, hand over the cities they have already occupied?

"The situation you mentioned is simply impossible, Mr. Zhao Ge, you protect Mr. Xie Ge so much, is it possible that you are with them?"

After choking for a short while, Elder Qian Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, meaning something, Elder Zhao Ge stood up with a whoosh: "You are so bloody, how about Elder Xie Ge's character, who doesn't know His Highness the Crown Prince and the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty? Is there a word that is nonsense? If the Golden Luan Palace has reached the point where it can’t even tell the truth, then this pavilion feels that Daqin’s strength should really be exhausted.”

After some fierce words, Elder Zhao Ge turned to face Qin Yun and bowed deeply: "Your Highness, please forgive me for your rude words. I am old. I hope that Your Highness will show mercy and allow this old minister to return home."

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the Golden Luan Hall looked up, and Mr. Qian Ge was so angry that his cheek muscles twitched. From their point of view, Mr. Zhao was undoubtedly threatening the crown prince. No one knew, he I am really tired, I have long wanted to emulate Mr. Xie Ge and put aside everything and not care about worldly affairs.

"Mr. Zhao Ge is the Minister of the Humerus of the Great Qin Dynasty. The Great Qin still needs you. Let's talk about the matter of telling the old man to return to his hometown later."

Qin Yunshen, who had been silent for a long time, had no choice but to pacify him. In other words, he turned to Elder Qian Ge after speaking: "I know that Elder Qian Ge is also doing his best for Da Qin, and he has dedicated himself to death. However, what Elder Zhao Ge said is reasonable, and we have no evidence to prove that Mr. Qian Ge The old collaborator, Xie Ge, who has been an official for many years, is indeed conscientious and dedicated to serving the country and the people. We can't let the veteran's heart be so cold. There is no need to mention this matter again. The Xia army is as powerful as a bamboo. Now we can only defend the imperial city as much as possible. , this palace will discuss this matter with the emperor, so let’s retire today.”

After all, without waiting for the reaction of all the officials, Qin Yunshen stood up and left. No one saw the place, his handsome face was gloomy and distorted, extremely terrifying.

"Pass down the order of my palace, quietly sneak into Ge Lao's mansion and arrest Xie Ge Lao and Xie's direct lineage, don't disturb the people outside."

After being transferred to the inner palace, Qin Yun gave a deep and ruthless order that he could not arrest Xie's family members, but his good father could, and from now on, all he had to say was that everything was according to his father's will.

"Yes."

The guards who followed behind him took the order, all the palace people bowed their heads, Qin Yunshen didn't care about them, and strode towards Qianyang Zhenggong, he had to ask his good father to hand over the dragon and tiger What about the military power of the battalion and the Royal Army of the Imperial City Army?

"Tell Elder Xie Ge that Xie's family is in danger, find a way to escape immediately!"

On the other hand, Mr. Zhao Ge who left the palace did not believe Qin Yunshen's nonsense. Who in the civil and military courts did not know that he was with Mr. Qian Ge?Now that Daqin has become like this, the four words "frightening" alone may not be able to stop them.

"Yes."

"Wait, be careful not to be followed."

"Yes."

The shadow guard bowed respectfully, and disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye. Zhao Ge closed his eyes and leaned back. Whether the Xie family can survive this disaster depends on whether Lao Xie is prepared. He can do it. There are only so many of them.
