History of Yongwu

In August of the third year of Jianping, Susu Qiufeng and the Jin army arrived at Shanguan. The king of Jin led 20 elite troops and went south to attack the bright moon.

Shanguan

General Wang Meng waited for orders, and Zhao Zhiping stood on the left, with his head half down and his expression solemn.

"Everyone" Qin Yu glanced at the crowd, and stood up slowly, "Mingyue invades the border, we have to attack, Jintian is empty, our army can't defend ourselves at this point, we should take the initiative to attack and defeat Mingyue, only then can Jintian's emergency be solved, and Jintian can also be used. Mingyue retreats despite difficulties"

"The minister waits to obey"

Slightly nodding his head, Qin Yu continued, "Luo Ping led an army of [-] to garrison the West Guard City, Yue Hong led an army of [-] to garrison Shanguan, Chu Zhang and Zhao Zhiping led an army to take Funing City from the west, and An Ziqi and the king took Bancheng."

Wang Meng stood at the door, looked at King Jin, and said hesitantly, "My lord, what about the general?"

"Which general are you in the Qianfeng Battalion?" Qin Yu asked with a smile after glancing at him.

King Jin's smiling face made Wang Meng feel guilty for a while, he hesitated and didn't say anything, Wang Meng's identity could not accept him in any account, before he was directly commanded by King Jin, or fought with the guard battalion.

"Dumb?"

"The last general has no affiliation for the time being," Wang Meng squeezed out a sentence.

Ha ha... Qin Yu smiled, looked at the crowd and said, "Which general is willing to take Wang Meng under his tent?"

Everyone didn't answer for a moment, they glanced at Wang Meng from the corner of their eyes, General Wang didn't seem to realize his embarrassment, instead he said excitedly, "My lord, I can follow General An, or Mr. Zhao."

He didn't want to defend the city. Since he was committing crimes and meritorious service, of course he had to win the battle.

"You're pretty picky." Qin Yu gave him a sideways glance, pointed at Zhao Zhiping, and said, "You follow Zhiping and study hard."

"The Last General Takes Order"

"Weak minister leads the decree"

Zhao Zhiping looked at Wang Meng with an excited face, and knew in his heart that King Jin was afraid that Chu Zhangsheng would have a second heart, so he sent Wang Meng over to help. Who would make King Jin's favorite general a pawn in charge.

"Three days later, we will resolutely mobilize our troops and conquer the bright moon in one fell swoop."

"Yes" everyone under the tent fell to their knees, and the answer was loud and powerful like a rainbow.

Sakajo

When the Jin army came to the city, Qin Yu casually looked at the guards on the city wall. An ordinary city has ordinary guards, which is what a war should look like.

He had seen this kind of city a lot, and he was a little bored, so he turned his head to look at An Ziqi beside him.

"Prince Yu is stationed here. This king has met him a few times. This man has some intelligence, but it's nothing to worry about. Just play by ear."

"Ziqi knows." An Ziqi nodded.

Qin Yu nodded and didn't supervise the battle here, and returned to the military tent. He was the only one in the tent. Hearing the shouts of killing outside, Qin Yu's eyes fell on the official documents on the table.

Lu Cong secretly reported that Yan Shijun really wanted to eradicate the family while he was not around. He wanted to be disturbed by Mingyue, and he was self-defeating. Instead, he was caught by Lord Wen and took the opportunity to win over many nobles.

Fortunately, the Chu family was on his side, thanks to Zhao Zhiping, if it wasn't for the marriage with the Chu family, many aristocratic families in Wu would have already turned to Wenhou at this moment.

There was a sudden shout outside the tent, Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, and just about to ask, An Ziqi broke in all of a sudden.

"Ziqi?" Qin Yu frowned slightly, "But what's changed?"

"Prince" An Ziqi cupped his hands with a look of shock and excitement, "The city is broken!"

ah?Qin Yu was stunned, and unconsciously muttered, "Broken?"

An Ziqi nodded earnestly at him, Qin Yu paused, stood up with a sense of composure, pushed An Ziqi away and ran out.

Outside the camp, the gate of Bancheng could be seen wide open, and the Mingyue soldiers on the city wall were running away, and the Jin army rushed into the gate without any effort.

"how come?"

Qin Yu looked at him, suddenly his feet went limp, An Ziqi was beside him and quickly supported him.

"My lord?"

King Jin didn't answer him, his face was a little pale, and he looked ahead without any joy of victory.

In the third year of Jianping, the king of Jin led his army out of the mountain pass to attack Mingyue in the south. The army of the king of Jin was brave. In the first battle, he defeated Funing and Bancheng, the important border towns of Mingyue. .The Mingyue Army retreated all the way to the last defense of the capital, and barely stopped before Yanning Pass.

Later generations talked about Mingyue's downfall, some said that Emperor Wu was stupid, some said that Mingyue seized the heir to the chaos, some said that Mingyue was dominated by the eight great families, and the people were in dire straits, etc., and so on, all with reasons and evidence.

But back to the autumn of the third year of Jianping, in fact, at that time, no one, including Mingyue herself, thought that they would lose so quickly. Many people only recovered when Jin Wang's army arrived at Yanning Pass.

Whether it is trying to use the bright moon to contain the court and the queen mother of King Jin, or wantonly win over the honorable Wenhou in Wudi, everyone is stuck in this inexplicable, just so dazed.

In September, in just over a month, King Jin's army reached Mingyue's last defense of Yanning Pass. Never before has a war of destroying a country been so fast, and it quickly brought both sides to their senses.

The Jin army had already divided into two groups. Zhao Zhiping and Wang Meng led their troops to continue to attack the city and land to the west, while Jin Wang and Andinghou generals attacked Yanning Pass.

Yanning Guanqian

An Ziqi looked at the pass, and in all fairness, Yanning Pass was not inferior to Tianshun Pass, but this month's battle made An Ziqi very disdainful, and even felt that Yanning Pass was much weaker.

He is not an arrogant person, but he can see that Mingyue is already in danger. The Jin army fell down quickly with a light push, and the defeat was getting bigger and bigger. No one can undo it.

"This is the general trend," An Ziqi muttered with a sneer.

"How about it?"

King Jin suddenly appeared beside him, An Ziqi hurriedly restrained his expression and saluted, "My lord, the city wall of Yanning Pass is solid, but the Mingyue Army still looks like that. It will definitely be able to overcome this pass in five days at most."

"Um"

Different from the joy of the entire Jin army, the more victorious, the more serious and serious the King Jin's expression was. Many generals felt that King Jin was cautious, not proud and complacent, and secretly admired him, but An Ziqi always felt something was different.

"My lord, do you have any orders?" An Ziqi asked tentatively.

"Tomorrow's attack must be cautious"

"Yes"

An Ziqi saluted, Qin Yu nodded and glanced at Yanning Pass again, then turned and left.

Inside the military tent, Qin Yu shook his head and smiled wryly. To this day, he still cannot believe all this. Originally, he just wanted to repel Mingyue, but now even King Jin can't stop the iron hooves of King Jin's army.

Back then, when Yan Yi fought to conquer Mingyue, he didn't expect it to come true!

Inside Yanning Pass, Sima Shaojun had a dream. It wasn't long. He dreamed that he was back to the year when he was 20 years old, followed behind Qin Zheng, and saw the figure under the city wall at a glance. arrow.

He remembered that at that time, he suddenly forgot about Mingyue and his identity. He only felt that the people in the city were extremely dazzling, and he was ashamed of being so dazzling, so he fled there in a hurry.

When he opened his eyes, it was already night. He got up and put on his cloak. Sima Shaojun led his guards and climbed to the top of the city alone.

The dome covers the surrounding fields, and from here you can see continuous campfires, which are the camps of the Jin army.After crossing Yanning Pass, one can ride lightly to the Mingyue City in one day, and the Jin army will soon enter the Mingyue Capital, break through the palace walls, and destroy everything.

He stared at the sky, looked over the campfire, and landed on the central army, where stood a city, containing the young man in his heart, with a warm and gentle smile, which he remembered for many years!

"Prince" Liu Yanshen came behind him at some point.

"What did the imperial court say?" Sima Shaojun didn't turn around, still looking at the Jin army's campfire.

"His Majesty encourages the prince, and hopes that the prince will lead the generals to retreat from the enemy"

"Retreat the enemy?" Sima Shaojun sneered and said, "Could it be that they have been at ease for a long time, and even their brains are broken?"

Liu Yanshen stood behind him and didn't answer, Emperor Wu was old and still living in the gold and iron horses of that year, he couldn't believe the situation of Mingyue Army at this time.

King Cheng proposed to seek peace, but the major families including the Liu family and the Chang family were unwilling to be criminals of subjugation. In their eyes, no matter who eventually became the master of Mingyue, it would not affect them, but this crime charged them Can't bear it.

It was only today that Liu Yanshen realized that Mingyue's accumulated evils were not only caused by Emperor Wu, but that the Jin army became the last straw that broke the camel's back, exposing its ugliness and fragility to everyone.

"Still no one is willing to remind His Majesty?"

"no"

Sima Shaojun sighed, bowed his head and refused to speak again, Liu Yanshen looked at him, and comforted him somewhat, "My lord, is this not your fault?"

"Yan Shen, there is no innocent person in a subjugated country," Sima Shaojun said to him.

"You have already turned the tide," Liu Yanshen persuaded again.

King Yu was defeated quickly, if King Cheng hadn't made a decisive decision and immediately chose to retreat, the Mingyue Army had lost even Yanning Pass, so there was no point in defending it.

"Hehe... winning is the only way to turn the tide, but now, it's just a decent death."

The Mingyue Army has no fighting spirit, and the defeat and separation of hearts will be contagious. If Yanning was not in front of them today, these people would still be driven away by the Jin army like a flock of sheep.

King Cheng left the city wall, Liu Yanshen watched him go, and turned his head to look at the Jin army below the city, his eyes were full of unwillingness.He is talented and ambitious to become a king, but because of the fools of the dynasty, he was eventually reduced to a defeated general.

The blue sky is like washing, the sky is high and the clouds are light. If you don't look down the city, it is also a peaceful and prosperous world.Under the city, the Jin army gathered, and the hooves of the war horses were flying, and the sound of the horseshoes echoed rumblingly. Holding the top of the city with hands, it seemed that the earth was trembling.

"Preparing the Horses"

"Lord"

Before Liu Yanshen could stop him, Sima Shaojun put on his cloak and said solemnly, "This king is cheering for our army."

The soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the morale of the army was broken. This was the only way to force a fight. Liu Yanshen didn't persuade him any more, but only asked the only guard battalion still capable of fighting to protect them carefully.

The two armies collided quickly. An Ziqi stood on the horse and saw from a distance that one of the Mingyue Army's troops was obviously braver than the other Mingyue Army. It rushed forward and led the entire Mingyue Army to regain momentum.

"Who's that guy over there?" He pointed his horsewhip and asked the lieutenant next to him.

"It's King Cheng." Qin Yu didn't know when he stood beside him, and said, "He went to battle in person and wanted to boost morale."

Seeing the sudden appearance of King Jin, "Prince" An Ziqi hurriedly saluted, and then gave orders to say, "Lead the elite cavalry directly into the formation, and defeat the king's spirit."

"Yes" the lieutenant led the order.

The elite of the Jin army rushed out quickly and fought with King Cheng's guards, and King Cheng was pushed back into the formation.Qin Yu glanced twice, then turned around expressionlessly.

"Something to report"

"Yes"

An Ziqi turned around and looked at the battlefield solemnly, he caught a glimpse of the man in the golden armor in the Mingyue Army, his eyes froze and he said, "Decree, whoever takes the head of the king will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold."

When Qin Yu heard An Ziqi's words, he paused and left calmly.

An Ziqi rewarded him heavily, but he didn't think Cheng Wang's head would be so easy to get. Sima Shaojun's determination was absolutely incomparable.

He was able to survive in the court where the moon cannibalize people, and he was able to endure humiliation and hide in the capital for so many years. He was definitely not someone who would easily admit defeat and show off his courage.

He cherishes life more than anyone else, because Sima Shaojun believes that as long as he lives, he will be able to turn things around.

"The general has an order, take the king's head and reward him with a thousand pieces of gold...the general has an order..." The shouts of the soldiers who delivered the order echoed on the battlefield, and everyone who heard it had their eyes glowing.

The guard of "Prince" leaned to King Cheng's side, looking around vigilantly.

Sima Shaojun's handsome eyebrows were gathered together, his eyes moved to the stretch of tents behind the battlefield, his heart sank, and he said solemnly, "Don't retreat, this king can risk his life to protect the country, who would be afraid to fight?"

"Yes"

King Cheng's bravery has indeed made the battle more difficult, but there are only some difficulties. Both the Jin army and King Cheng himself understand that it is just a delay, and the result will not change.

Jin army camp

Qin Yu was reading the battle report that Zhao Zhiping wrote to him. The Jin army went down the Yanning River, and Chu Zhang was there, which made up for the lack of the Jin Wang army's lack of water skills.

The Mingyue army has no fighting spirit, especially the defenders in the cities. Zhao Zhiping and Wang Meng have basically not received any decent resistance. Seeing that the army has penetrated into the hinterland of the southwest.

He flipped through a few good news, his brows suddenly gathered together, why did the King Yu disappear, did he die in the chaos.

"Prince" An Ziqi enters the account and salutes "today's siege..."

"No need to go back." Qin Yu waved his hand, he knew the situation of the war in his mind, looked at An Ziqi and asked, "Do you have any news about King Yu?"

"No." An Ziqi shook his head, and then said, "However, the general found out that although the civil strife in Mingyue subsided before, King Duan did not die, and he is also missing."

"People from the Sima family are quite good at hiding." Qin Yu smiled, tapped his fingers on the table twice and said to him, "Look carefully for these two people, they will be coming to Mingyue City soon, don't make any mistakes "

"Ziqi knows." An Ziqi withdrew.

Qin Yu stood outside the tent, with the black shadow of Yan Ningguan standing in front of him. It looked majestic and tall, but in reality it was extremely fragile.

Sima Shaojun, in that case, why did you invade our border!
