After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The black cloud overwhelms the city and wants to destroy it.

The battle report ahead was sent to the capital by express horse, and then directly handed over to the emperor and the military plane.Zhou Xun and many military ministers circulated the information in their hands, and Xia Yu kept falling outside the window.

This time the Northern Wei Dynasty came in a menacing manner.

The fertile water and grass in the north fed the war horses and also fed the ambitions of the Northern Wei people.Since Gaozong's defeat in that battle, the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty have been quietly dormant for decades. During this period, they constantly used small intrusions to test the bottom line of the people of Jingguo.In his last ten years, Emperor Gaozong actually became kind to them, not only "befriending" them, but also blindly forbearance.The first emperor had the intention to govern when he came to power, but his position was not glorious enough, and it took a lot of time to deal with internal affairs, and even died within ten years.Therefore, after several decades, the Northern Wei Dynasty recharged its batteries and thought that...

"I thought the Dragon King was coming back." The emperor commented.

Years ago, the epidemic in Xizhou finally came to an end. At the beginning of the year, the floods in Qingzhou burst again. In the middle of the year, the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty suddenly went south again, counting several cities...

It happened to be in time to be stationed at the border for many years, and the time when King Duan and General Wan had not yet returned to Liangzhou.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, God bless the great scene!" Gu Dashi hurriedly flattered and comforted, "Originally, at the beginning of the year, there would be at least another epidemic in Xizhou. , Liangzhou is also affected by floods today. And Yunzhou, Yunzhou... ahem, Yunzhou has been captured, but... these three fortresses adjacent to the Northern Wei Dynasty, now only lost Yunzhou, and Xizhou and Liangzhou, and..."

"Where did it come from? That's all Lao Tzu! The people who cured the epidemic were sent by Lao Tzu, and Qingzhou was also managed and repaired by Lao Tzu! This is almost the same, the three border cities are gone, and the Northern Wei Dynasty will drive straight in." Alright..." The emperor clapped his hands and roared angrily, "Forget all this, what about Yunzhou?! I asked Ma Yi to use the money to repair the city wall and garrison troops and food 800 years ago. Where did I spend all the money? ?!"

Everyone stopped talking.

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Officials in such border city-states are like the local emperors.The emperor had just been here for a year, and it was beyond his reach to control such a frontier city.

Ma Yi was not a traitor who surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty.It's just that he listened to the emperor's words to set up a caravan, and was fascinated by the white money.He wholeheartedly wanted to rely on this achievement to get promoted. In order to strengthen trade, he simply made his own claim, lowered the review of merchants from the Western Regions, and directly opened the entire Yunzhou to the outside world, allowing people from all countries to do business freely in it.In order to get more commission money, he turned a blind eye to foreigners building houses in Yunzhou and bringing mercenaries.

Therefore, when the iron cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty came down to Yunzhou, the whole Yunzhou was caught off guard and undefended.In just a dozen days, the entire Yunzhou fell.Flames ignited in the streets that used to be full of merchants and jewels. The cavalrymen of the Northern Wei Dynasty laughed and stepped over the corpses of Yunzhou guards, spitting wine on the faces of their families.Ma Yi, on the other hand, had a backbone, and committed suicide on the last day.

The Northern Wei Dynasty captured Yunzhou, and the blood of the men, the screams of the women, and the looted jewels aroused their animal instincts, so they went to Xizhou non-stop.Here in Xizhou, they fought hard.Most of the people living in Xizhou are of the Yi nationality. Over the past few years, due to language and belief issues, the relationship with the state capitals sent by the imperial court has been very cold, and there is even a vague split led by a big witch.

However, because the epidemic has been confirmed, the local people are now very grateful to the imperial court and the local state capital.Compared with the great witch's talisman paper, they all saw the dedication of the imperial physicians and state officials.Moreover, under the appointment of the emperor, the local state government selected many capable and reliable Yi people from the bottom to enter the state capital, and treated them equally with Han officials.Therefore, when the iron hooves of the Northern Wei Dynasty passed through Xizhou, the local people spontaneously formed a militia to resist it.

The stubbornness, aggressiveness, irascibility and refusal of the Yi people had originally caused headaches for local officials. Even after the epidemic, they never got better.But now, they are targeting the Northern Wei people with their pungentness and irascibility.If you don't have a knife, you throw stones.If you don't have a sword, you will throw dung, or you will set up obstacles on the road and trip the war horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty.There are dense forests everywhere in Xizhou. After they finished these, they rushed into the dense forest like dexterous apes and disappeared.The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty couldn't catch them, but they hated them so much.

Although the new great witch tried countless times to stand on the sidelines and stop them with the power of the clan.But they did it anyway.And the more "low-level and inferior" Yi people, the more they want to do this.

Therefore, Xizhou managed to defend the city.The situation in Liangzhou is even worse - it is said that when the Northern Wei emperor was young, he once lived in Liangzhou and entered a bandit village, and had old grievances with General Wan. Wanjiazhai.When King Duan married General Wan in Liangzhou, he wanted to tie General Wan back to the Northern Wei Dynasty.But now, old and new grudges surged up together, he sent General Li to Liangzhou, as if vowing to wash this place with blood, to avenge the past, so that General Wan would regret it.

And the reaction of General Wan who boarded the ship a few days ago was——

"This cannon looks really powerful!" General Wan excitedly touched the cannon road that was about to go along the canal with him to Liangzhou, "Light the letter and fire the contents, will it explode? "

"Yes." The emperor introduced, "so after igniting it, be sure to remember to launch it quickly."

"It's easy to use! It's so damn easy to use! Your Majesty, next time there will be such a good thing, what is it called... Italian guns, remember to bring more to Liangzhou!" General Wan gave a thumbs up.

"Of course, what you want to fight is General Li, who is an elite!"

"I like to fight the elite!"

Unexpectedly, the emperor and General Wan still had a good chat, as if they were in full swing.Zhou Xun and Duan Wang stood beside them, looking at them both helplessly.But King Duan suddenly said: "Master Zhou."

Zhou Xun looked at him.

"The king is going back to Liangzhou with Chongming. I don't know when and what month it will be. Now the situation is grim. You are in the capital. You should help the emperor more." Duan Wang said, "Nowadays some people in Beijing are very dissatisfied with the emperor and think that the emperor Acting ostentatiously and aggressively."

Zhou Xun smiled: "I heard that a few days ago, Prime Minister Wang hosted a banquet with many Qingliu and others for King Duan."

Prime Minister Wang and Prime Minister Lu are the left and right prime ministers.Prime Minister Wang acted conservatively, and he was also the one who proposed the idea of ​​donating silk to the Northern Wei Dynasty in exchange for peace.

"Except for Prime Minister Wang, there are also King Su and other relatives of the emperor. You should know King Su. He is very famous in Qingliu. He is the son of my second brother. At the beginning, my second brother and eldest brother had a dispute over the establishment of the crown prince. There were many incidents. Until later, my second brother died in Yunzhou because he resisted the attack of the Northern Wei Dynasty, leaving only this posthumous son. My elder brother—that is, the first emperor, so after he ascended the throne, he was named king. At that time , Some people even say that my elder brother died less than ten years after becoming emperor, and he was also a great hero of the Tongjing Kingdom, and my second elder brother has something to do with his improper origin of the throne." Duan Wang smiled, "But he is a very ' Sensible children, these years have been very low-key. The emperor is a tyrant who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, but he is Su Wang, who makes friends with Qingliu, is weak and sick, and kindly gives porridge to the poor every year. Speaking of it, his wife comes from the queen mother's family, and the two are very close. Deep affection. You don't know him well, but it's normal."

Zhou Xun faintly heard some dark shadows, and he looked at Duan Wang firmly.King Duan continued: "The emperor has lowered the rent of the tenant farmers and encouraged them to open up wasteland with new fertilizers. His original intentions are good. Unfortunately, some people...they don't want to."

"Otherwise, where did the rumor that the emperor dug the canal to transport lychees for me come from?" Zhou Xun said.

The two looked at each other and smiled.Zhou Xun looked at the emperor in the distance, and said softly: "After a long time, the people will naturally know what is right and what is wrong."

"They don't know right and wrong, they only know who is there, and their life is better." Duan Wang also said softly, "Now that the Northern Wei Dynasty has come, all kinds of monsters and ghosts have come out, accusing the emperor one by one... ..."

"I'm old now. When I was young, I always wanted to be my eldest brother's virtuous king. I went to suppress the bandits for this, and finally realized who I was living for." He looked at the emperor in the distance. Wan Chongming, who is wielding a new-style broadsword, neither of them are young anymore, but there is tenderness in his eyes, as if they are still the pair of teenagers more than ten years ago, "Now I don't want to be some kind of virtuous king who 'corrects the way', I just want to live a good life with the same person.”

"Yeah." Zhou Xun nodded slightly.

The two people in the distance were still chatting and arguing.General Wan said in a loud voice: "This knife is much harder, but also much more powerful!"

"This knife has been strengthened by fine grains, and I ordered people to strictly control its annealing temperature. The metallographic structure inside should be... all bainite!"

"Gold? Strengthen? Is there gold in this knife?"

There was a sudden sinking on the shoulder, it turned out that it was Duan Wang who patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder.King Duan said: "The boat is about to leave. I am going back to Liangzhou with General Wan. Be careful."

The boat finally sailed away.The emperor and Zhou Xun bid farewell on the shore.Zhou Xun said: "You and General Wan hit it off very well."

"As soon as he opened his mouth, he gave me a special sense of intimacy. I feel that he must be very good at fighting." The emperor said, "By the way, if I met him when I woke up..."

Zhou Xun:?

"I might have to recognize him as Li Yunlong. By the way, what did you say to King Duan just now?"

Zhou Xun talked about King Su, but the emperor didn't care at all.He said: "A group of literati, take care of their mouths."

……

Now that the meeting is over, the ministers finally walked out of the military aircraft department one by one.In the huge military aircraft department, only the emperor and Zhou Xun were left.

The emperor put his hand on his forehead, let out a long sigh, and sighed: "It's a good thing they left..."

Zhou Xun came up and held his head for him.

"Otherwise, I will show the anger of the head of state. I will come to Hebei Province..." The emperor muttered, "Damn, the Northern Wei Dynasty is really capable of fighting, so can't we come two years later? It's just this time... and that Regarding Yunzhou's pincer offensive, isn't this a blitzkrieg?! Could it be that the German BOY crossed over to the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Zhou Xun stopped his fingers and said, "The emperor really thinks this is a coincidence?"

"What coincidence?"

"If the emperor hadn't come here, this summer would be Xizhou's epidemic. Liangzhou was trapped by floods, and a large number of Qingzhou refugees flooded in. Yunzhou...was originally weak. The three big cities on the border fell at the same time. The emperor felt that this was a coincidence. ?”

"Fuck!" The emperor sat up straight in an instant, "You mean, someone is messing with me?!"

Zhou Xun nodded.

"Although Yunzhou is weak, it's not so vulnerable. Someone must have leaked the city defense map——Zhou Cai couldn't do it, he doesn't have that authority yet," Zhou Xun said.

The emperor frowned tightly, as if thinking about his words.After a long time, he said: "You mean, there is a traitor in Jing Dynasty? Or many?"

Zhou Xun nodded.

"I have to find out where the information leaked from." The emperor muttered, and opened the book, "I thought I was here to play the emperor's growth plan, and now I want to come to the lurking red path?"

The two searched for a whole day, and gradually narrowed down many areas.At night, when Zhou Xun went out from the palace, he suddenly thought of Old Man Shen.

"I don't know if old man Shen has returned to Beijing? He should have returned to Beijing." He thought, "I have to go and see."
