After Chang Dexuan died, King Zhao's army took advantage of the chaos to occupy the entire territory of Lingzhou, plus Yanzhou, Guizhou, and Sizhou that Wei Wuqing had conquered before, as well as the four provinces in the Northwest and Central that Ji Yuanfei and Ye Huixue conquered along the way. , Half of the people in the Eastern Qi Dynasty became Prince Zhaomin.

At Tao Jiusi's request, Zhao Wang's army fought steadily, reduced taxes everywhere, resumed production, punished corrupt officials, and maintained the normal operation of the local government.

Therefore, in the five provinces that have been designated as King Zhao's territory, everyone does not feel sad, but happy, and feels that life is only better than before, not worse than before.

How could Qi Xiandu not be worried in this situation?So this time the royal conquest was extremely powerful, one was to regain prestige, and the other was to cheer up the soldiers and civilians of the Eastern Qi Dynasty by the way.

However, at that time Qi Xiandu didn't know that this would be the last glory of his life.

Further to the east of Lingzhou is Heli, which belongs to the boundary of Hezhou in the Eastern Qi Dynasty. Once Hezhou passes through, the capital of the Eastern Qi Dynasty will be at your fingertips.

He Li Nai is a plain, and as far as the eye can see, there is no danger to defend.Qi Xiandu originally wanted to give up this place and try his best to strangle the Helao Pass in the east of Heli, but now the people's hearts are not stable, if the emperor retreats without fighting, it may arouse great resentment from the people of Eastern Qi.

Qi Xiandu thought so far and had no choice but to bite the bullet and station a hundred thousand troops on the Heli Plain.

At the same time, Wei Lingxue and his party were gradually approaching He Li.

"Xiao Tao, Qi Xiandu is in He Li, I think the outcome between us and Dong Qi is about to be decided." Wei Lxue smiled sideways, and looked at Tao Jiusi, who was walking beside him.

The two walk at the end of the line, and the corner is very unobtrusive, but this is the most ideal place for lovers to talk about love.

Tao Jiusi stood on the horse and nodded thoughtfully, "Qi Xiandu has only one son, who is not yet five years old. If Qi Xiandu dies in battle, the little prince will be ordered in danger."

Wei Lingxue didn't know what to think of, and suddenly leaned close to Tao Jiusi's ear, and whispered, "Little Tao, believe me, if I rule the four kingdoms, I will abolish the Six Palaces for you, and I won't marry anyone as a queen or concubine."

Tao Jiusi was a little terrified. To be honest, he also thought about whether Wei Chengxue would marry a wife and have children after he became emperor. After all, it is human nature to hope to have his own blood to inherit the world.

It's just that Tao Jiusi wants to be with Wei Chengxue now, and Wei Chengxue also loves him wholeheartedly, so he doesn't intend to think too far. After all, he is a person who has died once, and there is still some clarity in this realm. of.

So Tao Jiusi was both looking forward to and afraid of the day when Wei Chengxue came to the world.

Tao Jiusi stared at Wei Chengxue obsessively, and the speed of the horse under him also slowed down.

"Little Tao, what are you doing for your husband?" Wei Lingxue deliberately elongated his tone, and said slowly, "I see, Xiao Tao thinks my oath is not good enough?"

Tao Jiusi said with emotion: "After a hundred years, who will inherit the throne?"

"There are too many people with the surname Wei, so don't they all look at this position eagerly?" Wei Lingxue secretly took Tao Jiusi's hand, "My husband will solve these problems, Xiao Tao don't need to worry."

An amazing person will inevitably have shocking acts, but Tao Jiusi never imagined that Wei Lingxue's willfulness would be used in this place.

Wei Lingxue looked at Tao Jiusi, and said again: "Little Tao, now I want to solemnly tell you that I, Wei Lingxue, belong to you from the inside to the outside, from the heart to the toes."

Wei Lingxue's heart beat fast, he held Tao Jiusi's hand tightly, and said emotionally: "This is my oath to you, does Xiao Tao believe me?"

Tao Jiusi looked at Wei Lingxue, nodded heavily, and held back Wei Lingxue's hand, holding back his tears and smiling, "Lengxue, I believe in you."

Wei Lingxue suddenly smiled, and said hoarsely: "For your words, I am willing to repeat the hardships I suffered in the past 16 years."

Tao Jiusi stared at Wei Chengxue, and said with a smile: "You are willing to suffer, but I don't want you to suffer any more. When I first went to teach you how to read, I was thinking, how could there be such a poor prince."

Wei Lingxue smiled brightly, "Then I have enough to eat now, and I'm not as thin as before. Will you still pity me?"

Tao Jiusi wiped Wei Lingxue's face, and said seriously: "Leng Xuesheng is so beautiful, Xiaosheng naturally feels pity."

"Master! Master!" A hurried shout suddenly came from afar.

I saw Hua Yuntai coming up and down from a distance to the two of them, and said anxiously: "Our vanguard and Qi Xiandu's vanguard have met!"

Wei Lingxue's expression remained unchanged, he stroked Tao Jiusi's hand, and wrote lightly: "I heard that Kaiyan has recently improved the cannon, why not take this opportunity to test it out." Take the initiative to attack!"

The commanders of the two armies were either the emperor or the prince, and the soldiers were naturally high-spirited and full of energy. However, when a brave man met, there was a winner or loser. Zhao Wang's army quickly gained the upper hand by taking advantage of the newly-made bursting cannon.

Seeing that the opponent was in a mess, suddenly another gust of wind rose on the ground, blowing from west to east, making people almost unable to stand still.

Wei Lingxue was riding on a horse, his robes rattled, his black hair was flying forward, and the long sword on his waist hit the saddle, making crisp noises, but his eyes were firm, and he remained motionless in the strong wind. His posture is as tall and straight as ever.

Wei Lingxue slowly stretched out his left hand and raised his head slightly, like a roc ready to go, slowly spreading its huge wings.

The wind was strong, and Wei Lingxue's sleeves were also blown forward.

"It's West Wind, it's God helping us." Wei Lingxue murmured.

Tao Jiusi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood Wei Lingxue's intentions. He said joyfully, "Grandpa Hua, tell the vanguard to remove the cannons and use rockets instead. The wind is blowing eastward, and the rockets are fired at once. The Eastern Qi army will probably turn into a sea of ​​flames."

Tao Jiusi's prediction was right, thousands of rockets were like a wall of fire, burning more and more vigorously along the strong wind, hitting a man and a horse, and immediately spread to a large circle around them.

Qi Xiandu rode his horse in the middle of the army, heard the heart-piercing wailing from the vanguard, and saw the flames rising suddenly, knowing that something was wrong, he quickly ordered the whole army to retreat.

Although most of the Eastern Qi forwards were killed or injured, the main force retreated in time without major losses.It's just that King Zhao's army advanced another twenty miles to the east.

"Qi Xiandu still has two tools," Xia Kaiyan sat in the big tent, and praised casually, "Ordinary people must have panicked seeing today's battle, but Qi Xiandu can still withdraw in an orderly manner." Army, it can be seen that he has a bit of courage."

"Back then, Your Majesty...Qi Xiandu's competition with the other princes could be called a bloody storm. After this kind of tempering, he became more courageous." Li Hui said slowly. Can sit up, but still struggles to speak.

Thinking of Qi Xiandu's scar, Wei Lingxue couldn't help but said: "Qi Xiandu is ruthless to his brothers, and even more ruthless to himself. If such a person is not removed, he will cause future trouble."

Wei Chengxue is also a ruthless person, so he naturally understands the horror of people like Qi Xiandu.

In terms of Qi Xiandu's strength, he could compete with Wei Lingxue, but he lacked the patience and luck necessary for success, so he lost steadily.

Tao Jiusi pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's find a way to make Qi Xiandu flustered. This person, as long as his mood is disturbed, his flaws will naturally come out."

Zhu Shunli nodded and said: "We must let Qi Xiandu come and go, only in this way can we swallow Dong Qi faster."

Wei Wuqing frowned and said: "Yuanfei has come all the way from northeast to southeast. It was originally scheduled to meet us in five days. On that day, Eastern Qi will be in chaos. This is the best time to kill Qi Xiandu."

The confluence of Ji Yuanfei and Wei Lingxue means that Zhao Wang's army has completely opened up the northeast and northwest of the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

Tao Jiusi nodded, "Let's defeat Qi Xiandu's army first, and find a way to kill Qi Xiandu after five days."

Wei Lingxue nodded. He thought that Qi Xiandu had sneaked in at midnight just to take a look at Tao Jiusi. He was very unhappy and wanted to poach Qi Xiandu's eyes to relieve his hatred. Naturally, he agreed with the killing plan.

Tao Jiusi said: "I received a letter from General Duan a few days ago, saying that Zhao Wang's navy has also made preparations and will soon go south."

Wei Lingxue said: "Southern Zhou and Xihua raised their troops year after year, and their national strength has declined. Uncle may be able to win the two countries faster than us."

Xia Kaiyan raised her brows with joy: "His Royal Highness King Zhao should be the lord of half of the four kingdoms in less than a month. After that, he will destroy Dong Qi in one go, and then turn around and settle accounts with Wei Ronghe. The unification of the four kingdoms is just around the corner."

Wei Chengxue clangs: "When Qi Xiandu is killed, a new era will be established on our own, and the garrison of Ning Province will go south to Jingluo at the same time!"

As soon as Wei Lingxue finished speaking, everyone present was gearing up and eager to try.How many years of forbearance, how many years of hard work, finally waited until this day!

Wei Lingxue smiled, and looked at Tao Jiusi affectionately, "It's been five years, Mr. Tao, have I failed your teaching?"

Tao Jiusi was stunned. It had been five years. He had witnessed Wei Chengxue's journey from a young prince who couldn't get enough to eat in the deep palace to a powerful hero today. If he hadn't accompanied him to experience the blood and tears all the way, how would he understand?

Tao Jiusi felt lucky to be able to do it all over again and bravely choose Wei Chengxue.

Wei Lingxue did not let him down, never.
