Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 923
"Wind! Wind! Wind, wind!"

In the wilderness outside Jinyang City, tens of thousands of sharp soldiers from the Wu army shouted loudly, formed several tight square formations, and advanced step by step towards the city wall.

The huge wave rushed into the sky.

This is the second time that Qingji led his army to Jinyang.

The last time was the Central Plains War more than ten years ago. At that time, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed and divided into six.

Unwilling to lose his position as king, Zhao Yang gave up the position of Lord Zhao to Handanji of the "Xiaozong" Handan Clan. He also didn't want to be killed by Qingji's plot, so he fled back to Jinyang City, but was besieged by the coalition forces led by Qingji.

At that time, Jinyang City was breached by the coalition forces after several twists and turns, and Zhao Yang "feigned death" to escape the catastrophe.

Now, Qingji came here again.

Jinyang is really not an ordinary place.

Historically, Jinyang has been the capital of the three regimes of Zhao State, Former Qin Dynasty, and Northern Han Dynasty since its establishment, and the accompanying capital of the six regimes of Eastern Wei Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Later Tang Dynasty, Later Jin Dynasty and Later Han Dynasty.

Li Yuan and his son established the Tang Dynasty from Jinyang. The ancient city of Jinyang once became "Beijing", which is as famous as the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang.

The Later Tang, Later Han, Later Jin, Northern Han, Eastern Wei, and Northern Qi during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period all used Jinyang as their capital or accompanying capital, so Jinyang City is known as the "Dragon City"!

This city looks like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying, so people call Jinyang City "Phoenix City".

Grand Sima Wu Zixu, who was following Qingji, frowned and said to Qingji, "Your Majesty, from a minister's point of view, Jinyang has the aura of a king. This place controls mountains and rivers, stands on the shoulders of the world, and is the root of Hedong. It is a place that must be contested in ancient and modern times."

"Jinyang City, Jinshui, Xuanweng Mountain and other places have formed a dragon vein."

"In the future, there will be kings! To prevent this, the king should destroy the dragon veins of Jinyang and change its layout."

"..."

really?
Qingji believed it for now.

Although this kind of thing is too metaphysical, it can be seen that so many separatist regimes have been born in Jinyang in history.

Jinyang has a royal air, this sentence is not false at all.

Wu Zixu has studied physiognomy and is quite accurate in fortune-telling.

"We'll talk about this later."

Qingji waved his hands.

The top priority now, Qingji still wants to get rid of Zhao State first and capture Jinyang City.

If Zhao Yang can take the initiative to surrender at this time, that would be the best thing.

Of course, Qingji didn't think that with Zhao Yang's character, he would surrender.

"This... the gate of the city is actually open?"

All the generals of the Wu army were a little surprised and uncertain.

Looking around, I saw that the gate of Jinyang City was wide open.

Not a single soldier guarded.

On the top of the city, on the parapets, crenels, turrets and other places, Zhao Jun's banners were flying, but there were no people at all.

Became a dead city?
Wu Zixu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, things are strange. Even if the Zhao people got the news in advance and wanted to escape, it is impossible not to leave one of them behind."

"Moreover, there is no movement at all in the city, there may be fraud."

"..."

Qingji fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a figure appeared on the top of the city.

Wearing a flat sky crown, wearing a simple and luxurious Mianfu, holding a guqin, sitting on the ground, playing melodious and intoxicating music there.

The person who can wear this kind of clothing is undoubtedly Zhao Yang.

"Your Majesty, have you ordered the troops to enter?"

Wu Zixu asked.

"hold on."

Qing Ji narrowed his eyes, and said in confusion, "Second and third sons, do you think this Zhao Yang is playing tricks, or is he arranging an ambush inside the city?"

"The king was joking."

Wu Zixu shook his head and said: "At this point, where can Jinyang City have any soldiers that can fight? Even counting the old and the weak, women and children, they are not to be feared, and they are not as powerful as my Wu army."

"uncertain."

Qing Ji said earnestly: "Perhaps the Zhongshan people left and returned, and sent reinforcements to Jinyang to help the Zhao people defend the city."

"This……"

It's not impossible!
Qingji seriously suspected that Zhao Yang used his suspicious personality to pretend to be a suspicious soldier and set up an "empty city plan" for himself.

Are you procrastinating?
"My lord, why don't you choose a team of old and weak to go to the city to find out?"

"good."

Qingji still decided to adopt this method.

After all, if there are too many soldiers entering the city, or if they are all elite troops, once the Zhao people close the city gate and choose to "close the gate and beat the dogs", the Wu army will definitely lose many soldiers.

After a while, the soldiers of the Wu army who had entered the city finally came back and informed that there was no ambush in the city and that Zhao Yang had been captured.

"Report-"

At this moment, a flying cavalry from a small school came to report and reported to Qingji: "Your Majesty, in the northeast direction, we found thousands of cavalry from Zhao Kingdom, heading towards Zhongshan Kingdom!"

"Not good, Zhao people want to escape."

Wu Zixu said urgently: "Your Majesty, please send a large army to hunt down immediately. If the Zhao people escape to Zhongshan, it will be too late to destroy them!"

"No need."

Qing Ji waved his hands and said, "If they escape, let them escape."

Such a result, on the contrary, made Qingji secretly heave a sigh of relief.

A mere few thousand Zhao cavalry will not accomplish great things.

As long as Zhao Yang dies, Zhao Guo basically has no hope.

Zhao Wuxie?
Boru?

Shuzi!

Qingji will not give Zhao Ren a chance to make a comeback.

Zhao Guo was able to linger on his last breath, which was considered a gift of celebration.

For now, Qingji doesn't plan to start a full-scale war with Zhongshan.

"Zhao Jun, don't come here unharmed."

Qingji saw Zhao Yang again.

It is true that Zhao Yang, who has already lost his country and family, does not have any look of loneliness on his face, but a comfortable expression of relief.

"You have won, King Wu."

Zhao Yang said with a faint smile: "It's just that I don't know if you can always be invincible and invincible?"

"In the world, there are only generals who are always victorious, but it is rare to have a general who has never been defeated."

Qing Ji slowly sat beside Zhao Yang, chatting with Zhao Yang like a best friend.

Seeing this, Wu Junrui soldiers around subconsciously stopped, waiting for Qingji's order to deal with Zhao Yang.

"A widow can fail once, twice, three times... countless times. But you, if you fail once, you will have no chance."

Zhao Yang, who heard this, nodded in conviction, and said, "You deserve it. King Wu, do you really have the ability to end this troubled world?"

"If Mr. Zhao doesn't believe it, you can wait and see. The widow will let you live to see that day."

Qingji waved his hand, and said confidently between words: "The widow will let you see that the world is unified and the prosperity is coming! If...you can live to that time."

"Life, this is something you and I can't control."

Zhao Yang said slowly, "King Wu, even you will die when you are about to die. With your ability and prestige, it is not difficult to wipe out all the nations and rule the world."

"However, after your death, will the successor king consistently implement the national policy you established?"

Hearing this, Qing Ji shook his head and said: "This is not something that I can control. If there is no holiday, the widow's way of life collapses, and I don't see the day when the world is united in my lifetime, what regrets?"

"The life of one life is the life of ten thousand generations!"

"The king of Wu is open-minded, and Yang admires him the most."

Zhao Yang sighed in admiration.

"Come here, please ask Mr. Zhao to go down and rest, so that he can take care of you."

"promise!"

Qingji did not intend to execute Zhao Yang.

Because he can't do this, he can't treat the king of subjugation cruelly, he must treat him kindly.

However, Zhao Yang wanted to die with all his heart.

"Wow."

Zhao Yang spat out a mouthful of old blood, his eyes were darkened, and he almost fainted.

"you……"

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

Have you taken poison?

There was a faint smile on the corner of Zhao Yang's mouth, and he said, "King Wu, you are the person I admire the most in my life. You and I have been friends for a long time, and we hit it off in the early years. If we were not rivals, we might become Boya and Zhong Ziqi. my confidant..."

After saying that, Zhao Yang tilted his head and closed his eyes forever.

This time, Zhao Yang really died.

If the old sheep is not dead, is it difficult for the lamb to live?

Qingji waved his hand and said, "By honoring the feudal lords, Zhao Yang will be buried generously."

"promise!"
