Chapter 1229 Farewell, Yuru!
Although there was a difference of tens of thousands of troops between the two sides, under the large-scale use of Susu Qingfeng, the coalition army quickly collapsed.
Many soldiers of the coalition army chose to surrender directly after seeing the generals fall. After all, these fighting soldiers were also children of poor families, and they knew the goodness of Qi State. It was only because of their fear of the aristocratic family that they obeyed the aristocratic family's arrangements and participated in the siege of Wang Yue.
Well now, the generals have all fallen. King Qi will probably win this war, and then there will be no aristocratic family anymore. So what else are they talking about?
Seeing someone surrendering, more people soon laid down their weapons and surrendered, and surrender was like a plague, easily spreading to the entire team.
Although the other side also had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, as a large number of soldiers surrendered, before Liu Xingzhi could figure out what to do, Qi soldiers and horses had already begun to gather their surrendered troops.
At this time, it was too late for Liu Xingzhi to think about any action. He knew that through this battle, the entire world had been decided.
He had just seen Fan Xuan fall among the rebels with his own eyes. Daxia, which had just been established, would definitely be destroyed. Then they, Yizhou, would not be able to deal with Qi State.
Thinking of the families that were holding him back, he gritted his teeth, then rode out from the team, came to Wang Yue and asked, "King Qi, if I surrender, what are you going to do?" Wang Yue looked at Liu Xingzhi
. It seemed that he was still unwilling to accept it, so he said very coldly, "If you surrender voluntarily and will not be tainted by military power in the future, I guarantee that you can become a rich man in peace." Liu Xingzhi saw that Wang Yue seemed to have no room for negotiation, so he hesitated
. After a while, he continued to ask, "King Qi, is there no other way out?"
Wang Yue shook his head and said indifferently, "I don't have any more, you can try not to surrender!"
Liu Xingzhi thought of Fan Xuan and The army of the Family Alliance suffered a bizarre defeat right under his nose, and he was not sure whether he could escape Wang Yue's pursuit.
He thought about it, but still didn't dare to gamble, so he reluctantly put down the long knife in his hand, and then said depressedly, "In that case, I surrender!" Wang Yue was a little surprised, he didn't expect
Liu Xingzhi to surrender so easily. , but without asking any more questions, he asked Liu Xingzhi's Yizhou troops to put down their weapons and wait where they were.
Originally he was a little wary, but after cleaning the battlefield, Liu Xingzhi didn't make any move, which surprised Wang Yue.
When Wang Yue returned to the temporary camp, he invited Liu Xingzhi. As the two of them walked towards the camp, he asked curiously, "Liu Governor, you don't seem to be afraid at all that I will regret it and harm you?" Liu Xingzhi was there
. Looking at the soldiers in Wang Yue's army, he found that they were all in high spirits, like unsheathed knives. They were not like the soldiers there who were dawdling around. He felt that he had made the right decision to surrender. Such a team, even without the use of demons, Technique is simply not something he can handle.
While he was sighing, he heard some doubts from Wang Yue, so he said helplessly, "Prince Liang is living so happily at your place. I'll go fishing with this old neighbor. It seems to be a good idea." Wang Yue didn't think so
. Believing this, after he walked into the tent and asked Liu Xingzhi to sit down under him, he asked doubtfully, "Is it that simple?" Liu Xingzhi sat down rudely, and then
said with a smile, "Actually, , during our operation, I wrote to my daughter Liu Shishi, asking her to use the female guards in her hands to create chaos in Langya. However, she disagreed and said that even if she agreed, it would be useless because her soldiers would not She will listen to her and tell me not to fight with you, I will definitely not win. I didn’t believe it at first, but after seeing the fighting power of your Qi soldiers today, I suddenly felt that my daughter was not lying."
Although Wang Yue had already guessed Liu Shishi's identity, he did not expect that she was Liu Xingzhi's daughter. He did not ask further, but asked seriously, "Whose handiwork this time can actually persuade people to move?" Are most of the world's aristocratic families involved in this operation?"
Liu Xingzhi saw that Wang Yue still didn't know who his opponent was, so he said frankly, "It's the Crown Prince Luo Zishang. He convinced the Queen Mother of the dynasty to issue an imperial edict, and then took this imperial edict to talk to the wealthy family. "."
Wang Yue immediately understood. These aristocratic families actually still hold great righteousness. No wonder so many people would follow him. He said with confusion, "Dongdu is too close to Qi State. Even if I die in Bingzhou , Qi State was able to capture Dongdu in anger to take revenge, shouldn't Fan Xuan agree so easily, right? No, the order seems to be reversed. If he didn't agree, then the Queen Mother wouldn't be so easily persuaded, right?" Liu Xingzhi
sighed He took a breath and said sarcastically, "It's Luo Zishang who first convinced Fan Yu, and then together they convinced Fan Xuan to make Fan Xuan promise to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother made this decree, Fan Yu would marry the Queen Mother's daughter. As a queen, the queen mother couldn't bear the temptation, so she had no choice but to agree."
Wang Yue was a little surprised, he didn't expect this, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "Why did Luo Zishang become the crown prince?"
When Liu Xingzhi saw Wang Yue pretending to be confused, he said helplessly, "According to my guess, Luo Zishang has taken refuge with Fan Xuan a long time ago. He originally wanted to create chaos in Yangzhou so that Yangzhou would not be able to participate in the competition. But he didn't expect that you Qingzhou would be killed in the middle, making him fall short."
Wang Yue actually thought the same way, otherwise, Luo Zishang would not have used such a vicious strategy against him. After all, the two people had no hatred.
...
What Wang Yue didn't expect was that Luo Zishang had no grudge against Wang Yue, but he had grudge against Gu Jiusi. In this joint operation, Luo Zishang also persuaded the wealthy families in Guandong and Guanzhong to form another coalition force to bypass Hulao Pass, preparing to sneak attack Langya and capture Gu Jiusi while everyone's attention was on Bingzhou. .
However, Luo Zishang missed one person, Jiang He, who was deep in the prison. He had an organization called Bai Yujing. After hearing the news, he quickly sent someone to deliver the news to Langya.
Although Qi State is empty internally and does not seem to have many soldiers and horses, it does have a royal guard. Therefore, when the coalition of powerful families in Guandong and Guanzhong entered the territory of Qi State, it was discovered and the surrounding counties were quickly notified to defend the city. , waiting for rescue.
When the people of Qi heard that the coalition forces from wealthy families were coming, they felt that they were going to steal their land, so everyone actively participated in defending the city.
The main target of the family coalition forces was Langya. After discovering that these cities were well defended, they decisively detoured and continued to advance towards Langya, hoping to capture Langya before Langya could react.
But what they didn't expect was that they were ambushed just after they passed Pei County. The ones who came were the Langya female guards led by Lin Yun'er. She had the sad breeze left by Wang Yue in her hand, and she only relied on the favorable wind to blow it. They left the coalition forces alone. The other soldiers thought it was a divine punishment. They were so frightened that they abandoned their armor and knelt down to beg for mercy. Only one out of ten could escape.
...
Wang Yue didn't know that Ye Yun'er had secretly gone on an expedition on his own. After he gathered the surrender troops, his subordinates reported that Fan Xuan's body was found, and he quickly asked General Qin to go to Yanmen Pass to kill his trusted soldiers. The horses were mobilized back to temporarily guard the surrendered troops, and then quickly sent their troops southward, heading straight to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
When Wang Yue arrived at the foot of Luoyang City, Hulao Pass had already been captured, and he happened to meet up with him at the foot of Luoyang City. At this time, he also knew that Ye Yun'er had led troops to defeat the coalition's east-route army.
He didn't have time to blame Ye Yun'er for his misbehavior, when he found that the gate of Luoyang City had been opened from the inside.
Zhou Gaolang, who was covered in blood, walked in the front, followed by his two sons. No one followed them. The three of them came to the front of the formation and knelt down to Wang Yue.
When Wang Yue saw this scene, he was a little curious about which song was being sung. If it was a surrender, he should bring his troops out and put their weapons together to surrender, but now there are three people coming out, and it looks more like they are going to negotiate.
Wang Yue immediately stepped forward and came to the front of the three people. He asked with some confusion, "General Zhou, which song are you singing?"
Zhou Gaolang looked up at Wang Yue and said loudly, neither humble nor arrogant, "Your Majesty, I, Zhou Gaolang, know that if I take advantage of your opportunity to propose marriage to Quanzi to ambush you, I will definitely have no chance of survival, and I ask you to let my family go."
Wang Yue would not let Zhou Gaolang go just because of these words. After all, this man was Fan Xuan's die-hard loyalist. He said very indifferently, "Why?" Zhou Gaolang saw that Wang Yue didn't seem to want to agree. He knew what Wang Yue was thinking
. He quickly explained, "Your Majesty, my father and son, the Zhou family, were originally fighting for the city of Liangzhou in Yongliang and Liu Yizhou. Suddenly, we received an order to go to Bingzhou. I originally thought that something happened in Bingzhou and Bingzhou was destroyed. I didn't think much about it, but later I found out that Liu Yizhou was also here, and I realized something was wrong. But at this time, I was already ready, even Brother Fan was here, and I couldn't persuade him at all." Wang Yue didn't know whether this answer was acceptable or not. After all, no matter
what It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. What's important is that Zhou Gaolang finally took action!
So, he looked at Zhou Gaolang and said indifferently, "You could have surrendered outside Taiyuan City, but now you are in Luoyang!" After hearing Wang Yue
's questioning, Zhou Gaolang quickly bowed to the ground. He was very He said sincerely, "I need to come back to do something that is not suitable for King Qi to do! You will know it when King Qi enters the city."
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows, and just as he asked more questions, he snorted, "Let the defenders first Surrender out of the city, and then lead the way!"
After hearing this, Zhou Gaolang bowed respectfully to Wang Yue, and then asked the defenders in the city to put down and withdraw from the city.
...
Wang Yue soon found out what Zhou Gaolang had done. He actually killed all the officials of the wealthy Dongdu family. The entire market was filled with blood, and Wang Yue couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, Zhou Gaolang suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, King Qi, these officials from wealthy families forced my son Zhou Ye away, and used my son's marriage to ambush His Highness. I made the decision without authorization to kill them." If you kill me, please ask King Qi to punish you!"
Wang Yue couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, even if he wanted to kill, wouldn't this be the way to kill him?
He waved his hand helplessly and asked him to get up, and then asked depressedly, "Where is Luo Zishang?"
Zhou Gaolang shook his head and said awkwardly, "I don't know, when I returned to Dongdu, he was gone. ”
After he finished speaking, he took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his arms and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, King Qi, this is the edict of Emperor Xia to abdicate. Please ascend the throne as soon as possible." Wang Yue helplessly held up his forehead, like
this How can he be the capital of the Eastern Capital?
...
Wang Yue did not proclaim himself emperor in Luoyang in the end. He changed places and came to Jinling, where he proclaimed himself emperor and the country was named Han. Then he established a cabinet, measured the land across the country, and fully implemented equal land tax.
Because the aristocratic families were afraid of being beaten in the battle in Taiyuan, and even more afraid of being killed by Zhou Gaolang. Now they dare to be angry and dare not speak out, so they can only exchange land for the Han's silver coins and start a businessman. Buy and sell.
Because Jinling is the new capital, everything needs to be rebuilt. Wang Yue is doing a lot of construction here, so it involves issues of demolition compensation and house sales.
Those aristocratic families had very sharp minds and immediately realized that this was a way to make money. They did not dare to engage in it in Kyoto, but they did have the opportunity to do so in other towns and cities, and the early real estate development took shape.
Because everyone has a field, and the Han dynasty levies very low taxes, everyone has rich money, so housing prices in cities and towns are slowly being speculated, and gradually it has become the main fiscal revenue for various places.
Wang Yue knew this situation, but he did not change it. After all, in this era, farming economy was the main source of income, and houses in the city were not yet a necessity, so there was no need to pay special attention to it.
Wang Yue asked the Jinyi Guards to track down Luo Zishang's whereabouts, but there was no news. It was not until one year after Wang Yue's promotion that he received a report from his subordinates and found traces of Luo Zishang near Hangzhou.
But when Jin Yiwei was searching in Hangzhou, they suddenly discovered an organization called Bai Yujing, who was helping Luo Zishang escape capture.
Just when Wang Yue was investigating Bai Yujing, one day suddenly, Gu Jiusi came to the palace to ask for an audience and brought Wang Yue a roster.
After the maid gave the roster to Wang Yue, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, my uncle gave this to you. He handed the Bai Yujing in his hand to Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to give my cousin a way to survive."
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion, "Don't tell me, then Luo Zishang is your cousin?"
Gu Jiusi nodded helplessly, and then said with shame, "Luo Zishang is indeed my cousin." Brother, at that time my uncle was with Luo Zishang's mother in the name of my father. His mother gave birth to him before we were married. However, the Luo family and the Jiang family had a feud and once killed my uncle, so my uncle He didn't marry his mother. Unexpectedly, Luo Zishang thought it was my father who harmed his mother, so he has been against the Gu family." Wang Yue was
speechless when he heard this. His judgment on feelings has always been wrong, Luo Zishang Zishang didn't belong to anyone at all, but followed whoever could help him get revenge. He opposed anyone who helped Gu Jiusi. In the end, he found the wrong person. The whole person was a tragedy.
Although Wang Yue sympathized with this tragic figure, he still didn't want to forgive him. After all, if he hadn't been surrounded by a lot of sorrow, he might have died at the foot of Taiyuan City. This hole cannot be opened, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
So, he took the note and knocked it in his hand, and then said calmly, "Third brother, you should know how harmful Luo Zishang is, and it is impossible for me to pardon him." Gu Jiusi shrugged when he heard what Wang Yue said
. He shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty can arrange it as he pleases. I'm just a messenger. Don't worry about my face. I also hate this person. If he hates my father, you can give him some hints. He can take revenge." Pleasure! But now, my family is almost destroyed for no reason. I don’t know why. This is simply crazy!"
Wang Yue saw that Gu Jiusi was not here to plead, and he was very happy. He smiled and said, "I am. I have to give you this face, let's do this, tell your uncle that I will give him three days to arrange for Luo Zishang to escape, and I will ask the Jin Yiwei to suspend the pursuit. Once the three days are up, he will be chased and killed on the spot." Gu
Jiusi After hearing what Wang Yue said, he quickly saluted Wang Yue and walked away without a trace.
After he left, Liu Yuru and Yin Hongye Yun'er Cui came out from behind the screen.
Ye Yun'er glanced at Gu Jiusi's retreating back and asked with some confusion, "Your Majesty, do you really give Luo Zishang three days? What if he runs away?"
Ye Yun'er still looked like a little girl to Lin Yun'er. Thinking that a year ago this woman actually led troops to ambush, it was really a bit of a contrast.
Wang Yue knew that several women wanted to know an answer. After all, Luo Zishang almost killed Wang Yue, and they were really unwilling to do so.
He did not hide anything and said very indifferently, "The Luozi Shang is near Hangzhou now. He has to escape within three days and can only escape overseas. But I have calculated that there will be a typhoon on the southeast coast in the future, and the ship will not be able to escape at all." You can't go to sea."
Ye Yun'er knew that Wang Yue was very accurate about the weather. He said it would rain several times, but it soon started raining heavily. This time, the typhoon was definitely true.
She suddenly became very interested in watching the weather, so she poured a glass of water for Wang Yue and said somewhat flatteringly, "Your Majesty is so wily and cunning. He can let everyone know that this is God's will and at the same time take revenge quietly. Your Majesty, can you teach me how to read the weather?"
Wang Yue took the tea and was about to take a sip when he heard a beep sound, "Beep, the host has learned the skill of being cunning and cunning, and has been recognized by the protagonist!" "Beep
! , the host has reached the return conditions of the Xianyu Film and Television System!"
"Beep, the time-travel system is starting up!"
"Beep, the startup is successful, ready to return to the original world!"
"Beep, the return is successful!"
"Beep, the time-travel system is cooling down!"
