Five hundred and seventeenth chapter destroy the country
"it's all over."
At the dam upstream of Qinshui, the Minister of Works of Xu State, He Chou, heard about the news of Yu Wenhua and the great defeat, and couldn't help but sigh.
On the side of He Chou, Ouyang Xun smiled, obviously very happy, and said immediately: "Brother He, thanks to your plan, King Zhao is a kind person and will not treat you badly."
He Chou glanced at Ouyang Xun and said, "I hope, I rebel Yu Culture and I will avenge my brother. If King Zhao can reuse me, a traitor, I prefer to be able to play my own strengths under King Zhao's command, rather than being regarded as a strange trick."
“There will be a chance.”
Not long after, a team of horse soldiers arrived and said, "The King of Zhao has his orders. Please, Ouyang and others will go and see you."
He Chou and Ouyang Xun looked at each other, Ouyang Xun looked happy, but He Chou looked worried.
There were already thousands of Zhao army cavalry monitoring the dam upstream of Qinshui. The two of them also rode horses to the downstream battlefield. They happened to see Yu Wen Zhiji, and Yu Wen Zhiji was tied up and taken to Li Chongji.
But seeing flags piled up like mountains on the side, Yu Wenji, the former overlord, was taken to Li Chongjiu and his brother to kneel down.
Yu Wenhua and other generals of Xu Jun stood on one side, and immediately said furiously: "I treat you very well, why are you the opposite?"
Ouyang Xun took a step forward and said, "You have been angry and resentful, so where can you start from?"
Li Chongjiu looked at Yu Wenhua and asked, "Since the day you kill the lord in Jiangdu, you have thought of today."
Yu Wenji was silent for a while and said, "The success and the king will succeed and the defeat will be the enemy. What can I say now? If I really want to say something, I will still say the same thing. If a person dies, wouldn't he be the emperor for a day?"
"Arrogant!" Zhao army generals scolded one after another.
Yuwen Zhiji suddenly knelt down and said, "The incident of Jiangdu killing the king has nothing to do with me. I beg King Zhao to spare my life. I only want to be a commoner and spend the rest of my life in peace."
Yu Wenji said angrily: "Zhiji, if you die, you will die. What can you ask for?"
Li Chongjiu said, "These two have their own laws to judge them. Before that, we will take them down."
At this moment, the soldiers of Zhao took the Yuwen brothers.
At this time, He Chou and Ouyang Xun stepped forward together. Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "This time, the great defeat of Xu Jun is a big deal, and I have been hearing that He Aiqing is proficient in construction. I entrust you to be the Minister of Works and the affairs of Youjing to work on craftsmen, so that you can use it as the best way."
He Chou was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed and said hesitantly: "Thank you... Thank you... King Zhao."
Ouyang Xun also gave me a reward, but Ouyang Xun said, "The king is now Yu Wenzhi, Yu Wenzhi has been destroyed. When he returns to the Yongnian City to destroy Xia, Liu Heita heard that the reinforcements have been destroyed, he will surrender."
Li Chongjiu said in a statement: "Although Yu Culture and Culture are broken, Wei County has not yet come down. Who can guard Anyang City?"
Ouyang Xun smiled and said, "It's Yu Wen Chengji and his second son Yu Wen Chengji. Why bother with the king? As long as you kill Yu Wenji, Wei County can make an edict."
Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Wei County is important. I must take advantage of the situation to avoid long nights and dreams."
After saying that, Li Chongjiu personally escorted Yu Wen Zhiji and Xu Guo’s surrendered army and led the army straight to Wei County.
The army traveled starry night and arrived at the city of Anyang at dawn the next day.
But I saw drums pounding, horns roaring, and the fiery red flag of Zhao, rushing under the city of Anyang City.
Li Chongjiu's army surrounded Anyang City and set up a formation under the city, but saw lights connected, and torches were burning the sky. Under the city, there were golden swords and iron horses. The Zhao army heavy army was in full force, and the foreign army was eyeing it. Under the lights, even the stars and moon in the sky were dimmed.
Seeing a scene, the Xia soldiers on the top of the city were as if they were frost.
When Li Chongjiu King Banner arrived at the city, the three Zhao army burst into shouts and cheers, and the shouts seemed to be whipping at the top of the city. The Zhao army arrived with the victory, and the three armies were in high morale.
Yu Wen Zhiji, Yu Wen Zhiji and others were tied up on the saddle and were taken to the city. After the city, Zhao army archers, sword and shield soldiers, and cavalry Xu Ci advanced.
"Yu Wenji has been captured, quickly open the city and surrender to avoid re-inciting killing!"
"drop!"
"drop!"
The Zhao soldiers slapped the shield with their swords and slapped the ground and shouted at the top of the city. Yu Wenzhi and Yu Wenzhi and the two were even bloodless.
As soon as Li Chongjiu stopped, the Zhao army and the three armies stopped neatly and shouted.
Li Chongjiu stepped forward and said loudly: "I am Li Chongjiu. If I surrender to the city, I will have nothing to do in Hehe City, otherwise I will attack the city after sunrise!"
The sound came into the city, and there was a commotion on the top of the city, and the two armies fell into silence.
There was only the whistling autumn wind blowing under the city, which made hundreds of torches roar, and from time to time, sporadic fire chips were sent to the night sky, and then they disappeared.
The soldiers of the Zhao army were ready to fight. If Anyang City really did not surrender, the Zhao army would attack the city with all its might. Without Yu Culture and the lonely city, how could it last for a few days?
Just as the east was white, the gate of Anyang City slowly opened.
A man in white clothes came out with a seal hanging in front of his neck at the city gate, and dozens of people in white clothes followed him to the front of the three armies.
"The criminal minister Chengji bowed to King Zhao!"
Dozens of ministers in white-clothed state Xu, behind this man, also knelt down.
Yuwen Chengji held the seal in both hands and said, "This is my jade seal, presented to King Zhao. My Yuwen family has committed a heinous evil. I beg King Zhao to kill us father and son and spare the people of the whole city."
Li Chongjiu said to Yuwen Chengji: "I will be convinced of my faith, but if you can treat the people's soldiers well on weekdays, how could you be the next day when your troops are at the city? It is too late to repent now. However, the crime of the fall of Xu's country lies with your father, not with you. Let's take the blame first and wait for the defeat."
Yuwen Chengji received the order to retreat, and Li Chong drove his horse nine times to a white-haired minister and said, "Is that Pei Ju?"
The other party rested and said, "I don't want King Zhao to have heard of Pei's name, so I feel honored."
Li Chongjiu said, "When Ouyang Aiqing entered the city and advised you to surrender to Zhao, you refused, but why did you come to the city now?"
Pei Ju bowed and said, "The city is short and unwilling to occupy it, and the soldiers are too few to resist. How dare you not come?"
Li Chongjiu heard this and said, "I'm just here now, don't you think it's too late? You are useless to the country and are old. What's the use of your orphans?"
Pei Ju said: "In the old age, he is ignorant and stupid, and is very useful. However, he still knows some of the stories from various countries and regions, so he can ask for consultation."
Li Chongjiu smiled, dismounted and helped Pei Ju up, saying, "The world is in danger, and I still need an old minister like Gong Pei to assist you."
Pei Ju said: "The old minister is stupid, but he must do his best to do his best when he can serve him."
At that moment, Li Chongjiu led his army into the city. The Xu flag on the top of the city was replaced, and a white flag was replaced above the top of the city.
After entering the city, Xue Wanshu made a suggestion to Li Chongjiu: "Pei Ju is a sleek man and has served for several years. It is difficult for him to have a good end. Such people cannot use it."
Li Chongjiu said, "Pei Ju comes from the famous Pei family in Hedong, so he should not be ignored. Not only Pei Ju, but also the old ministers of Xu Country have never had any major mistakes. They have participated in the monarchy that year, and can use it as much as possible."
After hearing this, the ministers agreed.
In November of the third year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the State of Xu was destroyed by Li Chongjiu, and Li Chongjiu captured all the lands of Wei County. Now east of Taihang and north of the Yellow River, except for Yongnian, all the lands in Hebei have been included in Li Chongjiu's palms.
After conquering Wei County, Li Chongjiu ordered Wang Ma Han to lead 10,000 troops to settle Wei County, and he led the rest of his troops back to Mingzhou.
Before leaving, Li Chongjiu ordered Ouyang Xun to write a document for him, saying that if Li Tang did not withdraw his troops from Luoyang, he would lead the Zhao army to cross the Yellow River to the south and attack Zheng. Five hundred words were copied and distributed to various prefectures and counties, such as Menghai Gong in Shandong and Xu Yuanlang, who received them one after another.
For a moment, the news that the Zhao army wanted to go south to fight against Li Tang was circulating in Shandong, Henan and the country was full of controversy.
According to the two princes of Shandong, Bo, the king of Shandong, he was the first to respond, saying that if the Zhao army advanced to Hebei, he would lead his army to respond.
In November of the third year of Wude, Li Chongjiu's manifesto of aiding Zheng and attacking Tang was spread on both sides of the Yellow River like a belated heavy snow.
At this moment, Li Shimin was on the military camp of Cijian, an important town near Luoyang.
The first heavy snow since the beginning of winter also fell in the Tang army camp. Fifty thousand Tang army infantry and cavalry were stationed on the ground, and the barracks were continuous.
The Tang soldiers were wearing snow-colored cloaks and knocking on the snow, and the strong wind and snow were blowing.
At present, Li Shimin had just been patrolling the military camp, and Yu Kuifeng camp was grilling hands with the generals in front of the brazier.
"Wang Shichong's elite Huai Si soldiers are really not easy to deal with. If the Qin King had not fought to the death and our soldiers tried their best, they would not have forced Wang Shichong to retreat from Cijian to Luoyang." General Manager Liu Hongji said with a smile.
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "This is thanks to Shi Wanbao and Liu Dewei, the two general managers, attacked Longmen and Hanoi respectively. If Wang Shichong had not been worried about being attacked by the enemy, he would not have withdrawn his troops."
Li Shimin used a bamboo stick to charcoal and said, "Wang Shichong obviously wants to stockpile heavy troops under Luoyang City, so we will isolate Luoyang."
Liu Hongji looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Mr. Fang, I am not afraid of Wang Shichong now. I am just worried about whether the Zhao army will cross the Yellow River south. With the strength of my Li Tang, it may not be easy to fight the elites of Zheng and Zhao."
Changsun Wuji said, "I am worried about attacking Zhao State and crossing the Yellow River to Hebei thousands of miles away. If Li Chongjiu dares to cross the south, he is about to ask him to give him the title of Henan to avoid running back and forth."
Changsun Wuji showed hatred in his words, and he was obviously worried about the murder of Li Chongjiu when his uncle Changsun Shunde was shot.
Liu Hongji said, "When I was lifting the siege of Yanmen, I killed the Turks side by side with Li Chongjiu. I didn't expect that the time would change, but I would become an enemy. However, Changsun, this man was a hero at that time, and he has been in a commoner today. How can I ignore it?"
Changsun Wuji said, "Master Liu, don't be more ambitious than others."
