History of Yongwu

As soon as the morning light came up, Jintian Pass was densely packed with black armored King Jin's army. Qin Yu, dressed in military uniform, stood on his horse and looked at the towering Jintian City.

An Ziqi stood next to him, seeing King Jin sighed slightly, and said "Siege the city" majestically

An Ziqi and Jiang Chengwen left one after another and galloped towards the headquarters. The herald quickly rushed out, and the black army began to move forward.

Li Han looked at King Jin's still sick look, and persuaded him, "My lord might as well go back to the camp to rest first."

"Nonsense, order the guard battalion to march, and I want to cheer for our army." Qin Yu looked at the order ahead with cold eyes.

"Yes"

Li Han left in a hurry, only King Jin rode his horse forward, swaying his body, trying to straighten his back so that everyone could see the red tassels on his bronze helmet.

Jiaozhou Lucheng

The governor of Guanzhong had just ordered the Pingyang defenders to go to Jintian, and Zhao Guo stationed a heavy army in Lucheng. Its purpose is self-evident.

Inside the military palace

"Sir" Zhao Wang asked carefully, "Is it really okay to send troops to Pingyang now?"

Bei Zhengqing put down the teacup slowly, Zhao Wang's prudence is sometimes an advantage, but sometimes he seems hesitant to move forward.

"My lord, today is different. Most of Jin Wang's army is at Jintian Pass, and the governor of Guanzhong is now confronting Jin at the border of Jintian. Once Pingyang County enters Zhao, Jin will never be an enemy of Wang Ye at this time, but It's too late for the governor of Guanzhong to rescue him."

Zhao Wang nodded, feeling more at ease, and said to him with a smile, "Mr. is very thoughtful, go back and rest earlier!"

"Wei Chen Retires"

Zhao Wang stood in front of the map on one side, Pingyang County has a vast land, if this battle is true as Bei Zhengqing said, then An County, which is sandwiched between Zhao State and Jiaozhou County, will soon become his own, so Zhao State It becomes a vassal state that does not fall under Jin and Wu, and no longer has to be intimidated.

"See Your Majesty"

A voice came from behind him, King Zhao didn't turn his head, but said to him, "Su Jia, once Pingyang enters, my country of Zhao will have no fear in the world."

"Since this is the case, I only hope that the prince will win the battle."

Zhao Wang frowned, heard the dissatisfaction in Su Jia's words, turned around and asked, "Ai Qing, do you think this plan is inappropriate?"

"What Mr. Bei said, I dare not agree with it"

"Hmm." Zhao Wang pondered for a while, sat back on the chair and asked, "It's okay to love Qing."

Su Jia saluted, then looked at King Zhao and said, "Pingyang is no better than Jiaozhou. The prince marched from Lucheng. After that, will he go south or north?"

"How about going north? How about going south?"

"Pingyang is adjacent to Dongyang County of the Jin State in the north, where the Jin State's army is stationed, and the veteran Wang Ru is guarding it. After that, the Jin King's army elite from Yan County is watching, and the south of Pingyang is the same as Liang'an County. The Nangong family and the Jin State are in collusion. There will be no action"

Su Jia paused while speaking, glanced at King Zhao, and saluted deeply, "I'm afraid that if the prince marches into Pingyang, the country of Zhao will be drawn into the battle, and the country of Jin will benefit instead."

King Zhao's eyebrows twitched, but he still didn't make a sound. Su Jia noticed that King Zhao was hesitating.

"Your Majesty, this is a foreign aggression, Zhao Guo still has internal troubles, my lord, don't forget Jiaozhou"

"Jiaozhou?" Zhao Wang looked at him, frowned and said, "Isn't it already stable?"

"Your Majesty, it has only been four months since Jiaozhou entered Zhao. The people in Jiaozhou are loyal to you now because Zhao Guo has a heavy army here. But if Zhao Guo loses in Pingyang, Jiaozhou will not be saved." Su Jia looked at Zhao Wang , seems to be earnest.

"Then what should I do according to Aiqing's opinion?" King Zhao asked after hesitation.

"Stabilize Jiaozhou, fix the imperial court"

Fix the court?King Zhao looked at him puzzled, "The battle in Jintian is imminent, so why doesn't Zhao Guo do anything?"

"My lord, the matter of the Jintian has not yet come to fruition. If the Jin State wins the Jintian, the prestige will be even greater. How can the lord be tolerated in Pingyang? The lord needs to make peace with the court to fight against the Jin State. If the Jin State is defeated, how can the governor of Guanzhong sit on the sidelines?" Pingyang fell, the prince also wants to make peace with the imperial court, and appease the governor of Guanzhong."

Su Jia took a step forward and said earnestly, "My minister is telling the truth, if Jin is defeated, Zhao will take Pingyang, but not Anjun, then Jin will not dare to send troops, and the court will not rashly go to war with the prince."

Zhao Wang nodded, leaned closer and said, "In your opinion, how to stabilize Jiaozhou and repair the court?"

Zhao Guoqiang occupied Jiaozhou County, so he lost peace with the imperial court. Now he wants to stabilize Jiaozhou and repair it with the imperial court. It seems...

Hehe... Su Jia smiled slightly, and said confidently, "If one person wins, Jiaozhou will be stable, and the imperial court will share weal and woe with Zhao Guo."

"who?"

"Nangong Yuliang!"

The son of Nangong Xun?King Zhao frowned, and asked in puzzlement, "Why can he repair the imperial court?"

Su Jia looked at him, "The minister got the secret report. Emperor Xuan wanted to use this person as his queen, and he still never forgets it. If the prince gets this person and presents it to the court, the court will definitely grant Jiaozhou to the prince as a thank you. So far, the name is justified. Why should the Jiaozhou family have any disagreements? The lord and the imperial court will naturally reconcile, and it can also break the alliance between Nangong Xun and King Jin."

"The Nangong brothers and sisters are too difficult to handle in Daliang"

"The minister has a secret report that Nangong Yuliang has returned to Liang'an County and is now at the Nangong Mansion in Huaicheng."

Zhao Wang was silent, what Bei Zhengqing and Su Jia said was quite reasonable, but in the past year, Bei Zhengqing's words and schemes have indeed made Zhao Guo strong and prosperous, but Su Jia is also a veteran of Zhao Guo, and the Su family is also Zhao Guo's reliance There are quite a few aristocratic families, and Zhao Guo's government has been handled by him, which made him hesitate for a while.

"Mr. Bei is young and talented, so there will be times when he will be greedy for meritorious deeds." Su Jia said again, and said very respectfully, "The foundation of the Zhao Kingdom was built by the prince, so you must not lose it easily. The Zhao Kingdom should be decided by the prince!"

As Su Jia said, he knelt down and kowtowed to the ground. King Zhao looked at Su Jia who was kneeling, raised his eyebrows, and got up to help him up.

"This king has already taken care of this matter, Aiqing, please come back"

"Yes"

Su Jia settled down. King Zhao always liked to hide his thoughts from his subjects. Although he had made up his mind, he still kept it secret. However, Su Jia had followed King Zhao for many years, and King Zhao's concealment could not hide it from him.

outside the military mansion

Seeing the young man waiting in front, Su Jia stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness has already agreed, so you don't need to worry about Bei Zhengqing's words."

"Congratulations, my lord" Zhuo Qingfeng saluted.

"Hehe..." Su Jia smiled and got into the carriage with him, and asked again, "Brother Zhuo, Nangong Yuliang is definitely going to be in Huaicheng"

"Don't worry, my lord, Zhuo doesn't dare to speak nonsense about this matter."

Su Jia laughed, in order to overwhelm Bei Zhengqing, Zhuo Qingfeng also laughed, in order to finally taste the fruit of revenge.

King Jin, if someone you regard as a treasure enters the magnificent palace in the capital, what should you do?

jintianguan

The rumbling of war drums could not cover up the shouts of killing ahead, the siege vehicles kept advancing, and the soldiers climbed up the top of the city along the ladders, and then fell down heavily.

Qin Yu stood on the chariot, staring at everything in front of him coldly. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed in a direction and said, "Send Zhou Hong, the captain of the Zuojun, to bring reinforcements there."

The herald saluted and retreated quickly, Qin Yu still looked at the front without moving, and then said after a while, "An Ziqi is ordered to attack the west city and cooperate with Zhou Hong"

"Yes"

Li Han looked at King Jin who had never stopped, and hesitantly wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare to speak out. King Jin was seriously ill before, and almost passed out while riding a horse. However, I don't know whether it is the weather getting warmer or the fighting intensifying these days. , King Jin's health suddenly improved.

"Li Han!!"

Li Han snapped back to his senses, seeing King Jin staring at him, he cupped his hands and said, "The last general is here"

"Bring the guard battalion, Zhou Hong must open the east gate for reinforcements"

"The last general takes command" Li Han also left.

A gust of wind blew up, blowing the banners flying, Qin Yu stood there alone, holding on to the handrail, and stabilized his body that was a little shaken by the wind, it wasn't that he didn't want to rest, it was because Jin didn't have much time.

A few days ago, the Wu Kingdom had already retreated from Mingyue. According to his calculation, King Yu would surely arrive here in five days to reinforce him, and Sima Shaojun should have returned to Mingyue long ago. If Shaojun couldn't enter Jintian, he would have been defeated long ago, and he would never try to take back this Jintian pass.

Fortunately, the south side of Jintian Pass is more difficult to attack than the north side, otherwise, with Sima Shaojun's character, he might have already invaded with his army.

This kind of offensive lasted for a day. When the sky darkened, the defenders in the city were already exhausted, but the King Jin's army was also exhausted, so Qin Yu could only order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

In the big tent

Qin Yu was discussing with everyone about tomorrow's march, when suddenly someone at the door shouted back, "General Wuwei has something to report to the prince."

"Come in"

The soldiers came in and knelt down, put their hands on the letter and said, "The garrisons of Shuining County and Liang'an County have crossed the border and marched towards Jintian Pass."

Qin Yu took the letter, opened it, glanced around, and scanned the generals under the tent. An Ziqi and Jiang Chengwen were not worried at all, which made him feel a little relieved.

"The main road of Zhangshan Mountain is guarded according to the danger, so Wang Meng must block the Guanzhong army for more than three days."

"Yes" the sentry cavalry responded.

Before the sound of horseshoes outside the tent went away, Qin Yu looked at the generals in the tent and suddenly stood up.

"You have heard my king's order. If the Guanzhong army crosses Zhangshan Mountain, they will arrive in this day. If the Jin Kingdom still cannot attack Jintian Pass by then, then this king and all the generals can only withdraw from Jintian and hide in Fengjiang. county gone"

"The final general will live up to the prince's high hopes." All the generals knelt down together.

"The state of Jin has been stable for decades, relying on this battle, this king will never forget your contributions." Qin Yu bowed and saluted.

Jiang Chengwen and the others kowtowed to express their thanks, and withdrew one after another. An Ziqi walked in the last, looking at Jin Wang vaguely, who happened to be waving to him.

"Prince" An Ziqi immediately turned back and stood in front of King Jin.

Qin Yu glanced at him, sat down and said, "Let Tong Lin take his 2 people into your army and attack the city with the army."

"My lord, Tong Lin has always harbored evil intentions..."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Yu interrupted him, with a trace of fatigue on his face, "It's also because he has evil intentions, so he decided to attack fiercely. Now the situation is imminent, and Jin has no troops to send here, so it can only be like this."

"Yes" An Ziqi agreed, his voice was very low, he glanced at King Jin and said, "The ministers are incompetent and make the prince tired"

"It's impossible to do anything." Qin Yu suddenly smiled, waved his hands and said, "Even if this happened, it has nothing to do with you."

If there is a mistake, it is also the fault of King Jin, and it is not enough for the ministers to suffer for themselves. Aren't Fu Yusi and King Cheng let go by the king's decision!

"The wind and cold have just recovered, my lord must take care of your health." An Ziqi looked at King Jin with concern.

"Heh... I'm fine, Ziqi doesn't need to make a fuss all the time." Qin Yu looked at him with a smile and ordered, "Don't spread the news about my king's serious illness. It will disturb the morale of the army."

An Ziqi nodded, seeing that King Jin was a little tired, he handed his hand and said goodbye.

"Ziqi..." An Ziqi paused, and the King of Jin said to him again, "This king is tired. You can patrol the camp on my behalf and pass on the night password."

"Yes" he bowed his hands and accepted the order. When An Ziqi looked up again, King Jin had already closed his eyes and lay down. He sighed and exited the big tent.

The Nanluo County Ferry is also the last river crossing in Shuining County. Because of the Jintian War, Fu Yusi was injured again. Du Xuetang sent the boat down the river and returned to Wu Kingdom as quickly as possible.

Before the ferry, Du Xuetang received the secret letter, and after reading it, he waved to the sender. After the sender saluted and left, Du Xuetang raised his eyebrows, hesitated, and boarded the boat holding the letter paper.

In the room on the second deck, Du Xuetang had just entered, and when he saw the doctor was changing Fu Yusi's medicine, he respectfully stood aside and waited.

After a while the doctor left, Fu Yusi looked at him and smiled and said, "Thanks to Zhao Zhiping being a scholar, his arrow skills are terrible, otherwise I would have died on the spot."

Du Xuetang was slightly startled, but did not answer in a daze, Fu Yusi looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter with Xuetang?"

"Ah... this officer is here to inquire about the military commander's condition, you need to stop and rest." Du Xuetang came back to his senses, clenched the letter in his hand and hid it in his sleeve.

"No need, the lord should be in a hurry." Fu Yusi waved his hands, thinking of King Wu, he rushed out of the window and smiled.

"Yes" Du Xuetang withdrew.

in the room

Du Xuetang turned out the letter paper hidden in his sleeve, Nangong Yuliang was in Huaicheng, Zhao Guo turned his troops to point directly at Huaicheng, if the relationship between Nangong Yuliang and King Jin was revealed to King Zhao, it would be enough to make King Jin's army lose Jin Tian, ​​let Zhao and Jin meet each other in arms!

But···

Zhao Zhiping's arrow wasn't aimed at Fu Yusi, nor was King Jin's frightened look because of Fu Yusi's arrow.

'To repay your kindness of not killing'

King Jin stood at the mouth of the valley, and did not chase after him any more. Du Xuetang sighed inwardly, took out the fire pocket, lit the letter, and threw it into the brazier.

Repay your kindness, my lord, and take care of you too!
