Chapter 109 Quick Sword and Thin Floating Clouds

After so many things, the generals who choose to stay in the capital are naturally loyal, loyal and brave men who have been selected thousands of times.

They followed Qi Hui wholeheartedly, but in Qi Hui's heart, there was no assurance of victory at all.

The Xiqiang people were indeed brave and ferocious, and the enemy attacked back and forth, as if they could kill him endlessly. The long sword in his hand was already curled up, and it was accidentally broken into two pieces. The enemy took the opportunity to slash his arm.

Without changing his face, Qi Hui slapped the man to death, grabbed the knife from his hand and fought again.

But he knew that he was already tired, and maybe he couldn't hold on for too long.

A thought flooded in uncontrollably, and Qi Hui couldn't help asking himself, if it really came to the last moment of his life, what would he want to do most?

He had already died once, and before he died, his heart was full of regrets. He thought that if he could live again, he would never doubt others casually, and he would keep Qu Changcheng by his side, and never let him have any accidents again. .

But this time, still did not keep people, Qi Hui suddenly felt that this is actually quite good.

The reason is just like what he said to Jing Qianjiang, Qu Changlu is by his side, it really won't do any good.

It's enough to know that Qu Zhang has done well, although he still misses him a little, but it's dangerous now, and it's fine if he's not here.

Qi Hui suddenly realized that he always thought that he wanted to get the throne, but in fact, he had never thought about the throne until the end of his life for two consecutive lives.

It is difficult to see through the hearts of others in one's life, and sometimes it is also not easy to see oneself clearly.

At this time, at the entrance of the city gate, there was another sound of horseshoes, and a bright red flag could be seen faintly waving in the wind.

Surviving a desperate situation is probably a very gratifying thing, but when Qi Hui saw clearly the word "Jing" on the banner, he might still feel disappointed.

The one who came to support was Jing Qianjiang who came from Pingzhou City.

This should also be the last battle, and Qu Changlu originally wanted to come together to witness the defeat of Xiqiang.

But he was prone to old illnesses every spring, and he didn't take good care of himself recently. In the end, he gave up because of his health. He chose to go with other ministers in Pingzhou City, and then returned to the capital for the second batch.

The experience of these ministers can be described as bumpy. They were first taken away by Emperor Longyu, and then imprisoned by Qi Zhan.

Some people had no choice but to write, while others refused to follow.

Although it looks miserable, they are lucky.

Because Qi Zhan and Li Shang, who threatened their lives, died in Huangquan after failing to achieve hegemony, these ministers were forgotten before they could be used.

They didn't have to fight, and they didn't have to endure the test of coercion and temptation every day. At most, they were hungry and full to clear their stomachs for a period of time, and then they were released by Qu Changlu.

One pass and one release, the current situation is already turbulent and changing.

When they saw the sun again, it was Qu Changcheng who stood calmly in front of them, his face was still bright, as if he hadn't been stained by the mortal world.

When he left the capital to go to Nanrong, it was a long time before he left, which made many people feel sorry for him.

In the minds of most people, Qu Changsheng is a young man who is talented and ambitious, but lacks a lot of luck.

Originally, he was still young and had a long way to go. As long as he practiced over time, he would definitely become a master. It is a pity that he suddenly encountered such difficulties. I am afraid that his life can only end here.

But now, everyone realizes that they have been mistaken.

Not only did Qu Changsheng come back alive, but the feats he made are enough to shine in the annals of history.

A person with a heart like a rock can stand out in a desperate situation even if it is broken by wind and rain and troubled by right and wrong.

At this moment, Jing Qianjiang had already left in secret, and quietly returned to the capital, ready to catch Xiqiang and the rebel party by surprise, but among the people who stayed in Pingzhou, no matter the official age, the most qualified to speak was Qu Changlu.

When he was a lowly official, he was never polite to others. Now that he is in this role, he naturally refuses to show modesty. He said directly: "I invite adults to come here today, and I hope that you can pack your bags and bring a Let my family members return to the capital with me."

Although the battle in the capital is not yet completely over, according to Qu Changlu's estimation of the strength of both sides, it will be almost the same when Jing Qianjiang rushes over.

The biggest problem now is no longer the invasion of foreign races, but the panic everywhere, the forces of all parties are torn apart, and a ruler is urgently needed to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people.

No matter who the ruler is in the end, he must send a signal to the outside world, that is, this person has won the support of all forces in the DPRK.

At the same time, the return of these important ministers to the capital can also make up for the turmoil caused by the escape of the emperor at that time, and gradually bring the national order onto a normal track.

There is no need to introduce these considerations of Qu Changshou in detail, as soon as he brings them up, all the veterans present will understand what they mean. Looking at each other, no one disagrees.

After a while, a person said: "Master Qu is right. It is natural to go back to the capital. I just heard that the Xiqiang army has entered the city. I don't know if we need to make some preparations before we go back. "

Qu Chang said: "Don't worry, everyone, the war won't last long, and there will be troops escorting along the way."

He paused and said, "Time is running out. If you have no objections, we will leave in an hour. If you have any other ideas, please speak up."

Qu Chang's style was a bit overwhelming. Under his strong urging, the others had to keep up with the rhythm, stop pushing each other, and quickly weigh the pros and cons of this matter.

University scholar Wang Ming also stood up and said directly: "Master Qu, Li Shang threatened the lives of my family and forced me to forge the late emperor's edict, but I refused because Wang is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

He said: "Now I am concerned about the situation in the capital, not because I don't want to take risks, but because I want to know the plans of the Crown Prince, King Jing, and Master Qu regarding the matter of Xiqiang."

Qu Chang said: "My lord Wang has said too much. I have little knowledge, so how dare I speak with the two highnesses. Right now, it is not what we plan to do with Xiqiang, but the enemy's repeated attacks. If we want to defend our home and country , can only fight with war."

Another minister next to him said: "Xiqiang is used to hunting life, the territory is vast, and has little interest in occupying our land. They invaded, not to obtain supplies. As long as this requirement is met, the enemy will naturally will retreat."

Qu Zhang raised an eyebrow: "Oh, what does your lord mean, to discuss peace?"

Wang Ming and the minister from just now looked at each other, and said: "Exactly. Mainly based on the current situation, the country has just experienced turmoil and invasion, and the people are panicked. They should also recuperate and resume production. In this situation Under the circumstances, if a prolonged battle is unfavorable, it is better to satisfy Xiqiang's request and appease them for the time being."

Qu Chang negatively smiled and said, "Are there many people who hope to negotiate peace with Xiqiang?"

When someone started, others also expressed their opinions one after another, and the majority of the people who were in harmony actually accounted for the majority.

There were also some ministers who couldn't swallow this breath, and they were determined not to be accommodating, and they supported the war to the end. The two sides were about to quarrel, and instead put Qu Changlu on the sidelines.

Qu Chang negative looked at it for a moment, turned around and left without saying anything.

For the convenience of leaving, they were in the conference hall next to the military training ground. When they opened the door, they could see the troops gathering outside.

He walked up to the general platform and said to the soldiers below: "Because of the invasion of the Xiqiang people, you followed the late emperor to escape to Pingzhou. Now we will return to the capital to defend our homeland. Do you have the confidence to win? ?”

The people below answered him: "Yes!"

They have been trained, they answer quickly, and their voices are very uniform, but they seem very mechanical and have no fighting spirit from the heart.

Only then did Qu Chang negative realize what he had overlooked.

Since the beginning of the war, he basically never left the front line, and he didn't even know what the people in the rear looked like. Only now did he realize that due to Emperor Longyu's southward migration, these people had completely lost their passion and confidence in their subconscious. .

From ministers to soldiers, for them, escaping and calming down are also ways to solve problems.

How can a team like this win?

He said coldly: "If you are a soldier and you don't have blood in your bones, then you don't need to wear armor. If you don't want to leave here as soon as possible, you can go home and farm!"

When they were answering Qu Changnegative's question just now, many people lazily ignored them, and only then did they raise their heads in astonishment.

Qu Chang negative said in a loud voice: "Do you think it's safe to hide in Pingzhou and wait for the Xiqiang army to withdraw? Since the first emperor moved south, Xiqiang has repeatedly invaded the border of Ying State and captured Pufeng and Luanyang. After the two cities moved to the south, they even crossed Yunling from Tongguan, drove straight in, and even broke through the gate of the capital! They picked the heads of our compatriots on the tip of their spears and laughed loudly at the weakness of the Central Plains people, because it is true!"

"The jackal's ambition is endless. If you don't let them know the taste of failure and pain, one day, Pingzhou, Lingzhou, and Liguang will also be trampled. At that time, where else can you hide?" ?”

In the conference hall behind him, the voices of disputes stopped at some point, and the ministers who were in dispute also came out and looked at Qu Chang.

Qu Chang said mercilessly: "No matter where you hide, that land will no longer be your hometown, and you will become people without the protection of your family and country, and your family will be bullied and ridiculed forever! Even you His wives and children will lament over the weakness of soldiers!"

Some people's faces below were already flushed, and someone looked at Qu Chang negative angrily, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say, so they could only hold the spear in their hands tightly.

Qu Changlu turned back again, and said coldly to the ministers who advocated for peace just now: "Since the Western Qiang invaded, tens of thousands of soldiers have been sacrificed on the front line, and no one has regrets. The reason why they are willing to die is for their own sake. Your relatives will no longer be humiliated and oppressed, so that you compatriots in the rear can have a safe place!"

"But everyone moved south first, and then proposed peace. In the final analysis, it is because you don't believe that our soldiers can defend our home and country, or because you think that I am not as good as Xiqiang! If you don't even have this confidence, let the soldiers rely on us What sacrifice, and why fight?"

His voice was getting higher and higher, and he asked the officers and soldiers who were angry in the audience: "What about you? Can you trust yourself? We will surrender our lives and go back to the capital to face the Xiqiang people together, and let them know that they The mistakes I made are unforgivable, and those who offend me will be killed no matter how strong they are!"

Qu Chang said: "You guys, can you do it?"

"can!"

This time, the answer resounded throughout the school grounds, revealing anger and determination.

None of the ministers behind them spoke. At this moment, they felt the long-lost shock.

Qu Changcheng stood on the high platform, the sun was smearing his white clothes, and his expression was solemn and solemn.

In this world, before doing many things, you have to measure the gains and losses, consider whether it is worthwhile, and what the odds are, but there are certain guardian beliefs that cannot be shaken.

Qu Chang said: "My lords, trust our soldiers too."

Xiqiang is not terrible, because justice has never been on their side.What everyone guards behind is their own homeland. Facing a strong enemy, they will definitely fight to the end and swear to the death!

Someone stood up, and it was the British Duke Zhang Zhao who had been fighting just now.

He gave a solemn salute to Master Qu, and said: "Zhao is willing to advance and retreat with you."

More and more people are on Qu Chang's side.

In fact, they were all the ones who did not choose to compromise with Qi Zhan and Li Shang during that rebellion. They still had basic integrity. It was only because of the previous behavior of Emperor Longyu and the results of the Western Qiang war that they vented their enthusiasm. Some people sprouted The idea of ​​peace.

But the attitude of the soldiers was like a blow to the head, which woke up these courtiers who were used to retreating and evading.

Wang Ming also came out, and said solemnly to Qu Zhang: "Master Qu, I apologize to you and all the soldiers and common people for what I just said."

After speaking, he left, mobilized his family as quickly as possible, asked them to pack up and return to the capital.

He knew that from this moment on, he would no longer be confused and shaken.

A group of people embarked on the road back to the capital from Pingzhou, and the battle situation in the capital was reversed again because of Jing Qianjiang's timely arrival.

The most difficult part of fighting at this time is that the battlefield is scattered and it is difficult to concentrate the troops.

However, Jing Qianjiang's team has been fighting against the nomads for a long time, has strong mobility, and basically does not rely on luggage to fight, so it played a big role.

The people in the city had already been moved to the outskirts under Qi Hui's advance arrangement, and everyone had no scruples about fighting. After Jing Qianjiang arrived, he didn't say hello to Qi Hui, and went directly to block the door and beat him fiercely.

He didn't want to drive the Xiqiang people out of the capital at all, he planned to beat them to death here.

——If you dare to come, you will have to pay the price.

Not only Gemo sensed the danger, but also the two traitor generals in Ying State panicked.

They chose to follow Li Shang at the beginning, but now they went all the way to the black to help Xiqiang, and they were destined to be tied together with Xiqiang.

Maybe if Gemo is defeated, there are still people who will swear to win a way out for him and escort him back to Xiqiang, but if traitors like them fail, it will be a dead end.

Regardless of other matters, the two rushed forward in person, one wielding a broadsword and the other holding a spear, and together they charged towards Jing Qianjiang—as long as King Jing was removed, his army would surely be in chaos.

Jing Qianjiang had already seen their intentions, and sneered, holding the top of the spear on the left with one hand, and holding the blade with the long sword in his right hand, shaking his wrist, forcing the opponent's attack back , cut off directly with the horizontal sword.

Blood gushed out, and the head of the traitor holding the knife had been cut off abruptly and flew up from his neck.

At the same time, Jing Qianjiang yelled, snatched the spear from the other man's hand, and at the same time put his hand on the saddle, kicked him in the chest, kicked him to vomit blood, and fell off the horse.

In a blink of an eye, the two were already dead and the other injured in his hands. Jing Qianjiang leaned over and picked up the heads on the ground with his long sword, and lifted them up high.

He said loudly: "Listen up, the soldiers following Xu Shan and Hu Ying, the two traitors, the general situation is over, if you rein in the precipice, there is still hope. If you resist to the end, there will be such a thief!"

Jing Qianjiang's loud shout not only made the soldiers who were originally from the Kingdom of Ying flustered, but even the Xiqiang side couldn't help being restless.

After all, Qi Hui had been planning for a long time and was well prepared. He succeeded in injuring Gemo Khan as soon as he came. Xiqiang was able to gain the upper hand because of the help of the rebels from the Kingdom of Ying.

Now seeing that Jing Qianjiang is so brave, the morale of the troops on both sides was shaken for a while, and there was timidity in their hearts, and they were immediately defeated.

There were several wounds on Qi Hui's body that were too late to be bandaged. At this time, the blood was congealed, and it was already stained with the clothes and armor. Even a slight movement was a heart-rending pain.

It wasn't until this time that he was free to wipe the sweat off his face.

Qi Hui took a breath, and looked around again, but he still didn't see Qu Changying, and he was a little worried.

"Your Highness."

At this moment, a low voice came from behind him. Qi Hui turned his head and saw Yang Yu, his lieutenant general, rubbed behind him in the chaos.

He asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Yu said in a low voice: "Your Highness, news just came that Xu Yi and the others found a servant who knew the whereabouts of Yuxi, and now he has escorted him into the palace. But the servant insisted that he hid Yuxi elsewhere, and only you In the past, he was willing to say that he was sincere.”

When Emperor Longyu was directly strangled to death by Li Chang, Yuxi's whereabouts remained unknown.

Qu Changlu deceived Li Chang with fake ones, but no one knew where the real jade seal was placed.

At present, the new emperor has not been established, and the situation is chaotic. Although Qi Hui is the emperor, Jing Qianjiang also has pure and noble blood, not to mention his illustrious military exploits, which should not be underestimated.

In the end, of course, whoever can get the jade seal will have the upper hand.

Although they have caught him now, no one knows if anyone else knows Yuxi's whereabouts besides the servant.

The opportunity is fleeting, and if you hesitate a little bit and let others take it, it will be too wronged.

The best way is to withdraw and return to the palace at this time, obtain the jade seal, and then send someone to meet the group of ministers who came back from Pingzhou, and quickly complete the enthronement and succession.

When the war on Jing Qianjiang's side is completely quelled, the overall situation is settled. If he is dissatisfied, it will become a rebellion, and it will be untenable first.

Yang Yu's eagerness and excitement were beyond words, but to his surprise, Qi Hui was not so happy.

He said without thinking: "Do you know how the late emperor got there?"

Yang Yu was taken aback.

"I heard that he was strangled to death by Li Chang himself." Qi Hui said calmly.

Power is really insane.Those who can't get it want to get it, but those who sit in that position gradually become selfish, suspicious, and cruel, without flesh and blood, and can't trust everyone around them, so they use severe means to suppress it.

But this not only did not make the power in his hands more stable, on the contrary, it finally brought Emperor Longyu to a desolate end of betrayal.

The king governs the world with benevolence and virtue, and only then can the benevolent be promoted.

And he has never been an open-minded person. He once tried his best to gain power, but found that this thing did not make him happy. The throne was full of fear and loneliness, and finally turned people into a hideous face.

He was already tired, and he didn't want to end up with Emperor Longyu one day.

What he wanted...wasn't this.

Yang Yu didn't know the inside story of Emperor Longyu's death. He was startled by Qi Hui's words, and he heard the other party say: "The former emperor was mean and ungrateful, and he didn't care about the overall situation, which led to the country falling into such a situation. If today alone How is it different from the late emperor to disregard other soldiers and companions in order to seize power?"

"What's more..." He paused and said, "King Jing and the Song family can't have anything to do. The most important thing now is to annihilate Gemo Khan and other people in one fell swoop, and cooperate with them so that Xiqiang has no way to fight back." force."

Since they are the ones you value and care about, let me work together to protect them.

I hope you will have a good life with them in your future life.

And I don't want to take this road anymore, I don't want to bow my head in shame under your contemptuous and distant gaze.

Yang Yu was stunned, Qi Hui patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Tell them, if people look at it well", he suddenly lifted the reins, turned the horse back, raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill the horse!" !"

"kill!"

Under such an offensive, the rebels of the Kingdom of Ying basically abandoned their armor and surrendered, Gemo was seriously injured, and Xiqiang retreated steadily.

Qi Hui didn't intend to leave, but Jing Qianjiang couldn't take it anymore, urged his horse to approach Qi Hui, and said in a low voice: "How many cards have you prepared? The next thing should be fine, right?"

Qi Hui nodded slightly and asked directly, "What about him?"

Jing Qianjiang said: "I was in Pingzhou when I left, but if all goes well now, he should have brought others to the capital. If you are all right here, I want to go back to meet him."

Not long ago, Yang Yu was still telling Qi Hui that he should send people to Pingzhou first, contact the ministers, and buy people's hearts to determine his status. Jing Qianjiang then mentioned this matter.

If it was left in the past, I am afraid that Qi Hui would suspect that he used Qu Changsheng as an excuse to compete with him for something, and he would find a way to detain Jing Qianjiang no matter what he said, but at this moment he immediately said: "There is no problem here, then go quickly stop."

He was not as happy as Qi Hui, and Jing Qianjiang was stunned.

Qi Hui paused for a moment, and then added another sentence in a strange way: "But you didn't see the result of victory, so you left after doing your best. Don't be afraid that I will swallow your credit. When you come back, will the capital have changed?"

This question is like him again, Jing Qianjiang came back to his senses, and laughed: "Want to be the emperor?"

He turned his head and clamped the horse's belly with his legs: "Do as you please!"

Qi Hui was stunned behind him, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

The vanity is gone, only the faith remains forever.
