The heavens are kings, starting with Qing Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 172 The Sigu Sword Strikes

In Nanjing City, Qin Ye led 18 Qing troops into the city and implemented military control, while the remaining nearly 20 Qing troops camped outside the city to guard the left and right.

In fact, he had considered massacring the city. After all, Nanjing City, a city with a population of one million, would take a lot of effort to control, and it also needed to guard against the Northern Qi's internal and external cooperation. If one was not careful, it would not be impossible for the Northern Qi to recapture Nanjing City.

As the commander-in-chief of the Qing Army, he naturally also received the news that Dongyi City had come to help him.

It is necessary to clean up the city of Nanjing as soon as possible.

However, Zhao Yun bluntly disagreed with the massacre of the city. He believed that some high-ranking officials and nobles could be killed, but ordinary people should not act rashly.

Qin Ye was naturally a little angry, but at this moment he didn't know how to communicate with Zhao Yun.

As a veteran ninth-rank master, he felt Zhao Yun's frightening guru aura the day he broke the city.

A real grand master is so terrifying, if he were to be killed with a single shot, it would be very difficult to hold him accountable, and even Emperor Qing would not even say good words to appease him.

In particular, what surprised him was that there have always been countless great masters in the world.

Why have such strange and young grand masters appeared frequently recently?

It's nothing more than a Li Gaoming in the capital, and another Zhao Yun in the North Camp.

When did grand masters become so cheap?

Moreover, he was not sure what Zhao Yun's intentions were when he pretended to be a seventh-rank soldier and who was standing behind him?

He naturally didn't believe that Zhao Yun was really rank seven when he joined the army, because no one could step from rank seven to grand master in just a few months.

It's just that such a person is willing to go from the bottom to the promotion through military merit step by step.

Picture what?
After all, as long as he reveals the cultivation of a great master, he will immediately be a guest of honor from all countries, with a transcendent status.

One must know that even he, the great general of the Qing Kingdom, is not as good as a great master in terms of status.

This made him a little apprehensive.

No matter how you look at it, this person seems to have been deliberately sent to replace him.

Qin Ye has a lot of experience, but he is really not sure about Zhao Yun's background and details.

Moreover, looking at Zhao Yun's resume now, the mediocre resume information seems rather meaningful.

To be able to disguise a person's resume so authentically, and even hide it from the household department and the military department, must be a big shot in the court.

After thinking for a long time, he finally gave up his plan to massacre the city, but he definitely couldn't keep the remaining high-ranking officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Nanjing.

Zhao Yun has no objection to this either.

He prevented Qin Ye from massacring the city so that when Li Chengqian unified the world in the future, there would be less resistance from the common people.

Moreover, he was a general of the Shu Han in the last life, and Liu Bei, the lord of the Shu Han, is famous for his benevolence. Although his lord is no longer Liu Bei, he does not want his lord to be stained with too much blood in the future.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun did not participate too much in the affairs of the Qing army.

He naturally saw Qin Ye's complicated thoughts, and he didn't intend to pay attention to it. Now he just needs to train his troops well, defend Nanjing City well, and wait for the imperial court's order.

The Battle of Lishan and the Battle of Nanjing, the great military achievements of the two battles are enough to win him enough awards.

He believed that Li Chengqian, who was far away in the capital, must have arranged everything.

……

Outside Jianmen Pass, on a secluded slope, two figures stood quietly here.

One of them was Ku He, the national teacher of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Another middle-aged man who was not tall and dressed in sackcloth had a cold face, and a sharpness in his gaze could almost pierce the sky.

"The city was destroyed in one day, it really is a bunch of waste."

He said coldly, without paying attention to Bei Qi in his words.

Ku He's complexion sank, and he said slowly: "Si Gu Jian, you don't have to use your tongue, besides Si Gu Jian, there is also a great master who wields spears in the Qing Army, who is not under you or me, and no one is under guard. , it was this person who directly broke the city gate and led people into Nanjing City."

In fact, although the grand master is strong, he is also made of flesh and blood.

If the Northern Qi Dynasty had been prepared, with all kinds of defensive weapons and tens of thousands of crossbow arrows to block the city, even if the city of Nanjing would be destroyed in the end, it would not be powerless to recover in such a short period of time.

Si Gu Jian smiled sarcastically, but his heart was also somewhat solemn.

Qingguo had too many great masters.

He had sneaked into the capital three times, intending to attack and kill Emperor Qing, but each time he was frightened away by a strange aura of a great master.

Not long ago, in the capital, a great master Li Gaoming who could cut half a lake with one sword was born, and now there is another great master of marksmanship in the Qing army.

With the addition of Ye Liuyun, a veteran grandmaster, there are four grandmasters in one Qing Kingdom.

At the level of the Grand Master, they are all dragons and phoenixes. If it is not for three against one, almost no one can be sure of victory.

Now even if he joins forces with Bei Qi, how can he be an opponent in a two-on-four situation?
Four great masters, how God blesses Nanqing!
Unconsciously, there was a bit of violence in his eyes. As a grand master, he actually felt a little too unfair.

Especially when Ye Qingmei abandoned Dongyi and chose Nanqing, he still can't let go of it.

"For so many years, the old man's bones have rusted. Now that he has come out, he can exercise his muscles and bones."

His voice was cold and stern, and before he finished speaking, he set off directly and galloped towards the direction of Nanjing City.

Ku He pondered for a moment, then set off directly to follow.

He had already realized that even if Si Gu Jian came here, it would be very difficult for Northern Qi to recapture the city of Nanjing.

After all, there are now two great masters in the Qing Army.

But showing strength is necessary.

Even, if possible, killing the grand master of the Qing army might not be impossible to recapture the city of Nanjing.

Then take advantage of this momentum to re-establish the covenant, which will definitely win great benefits for Northern Qi in the negotiations.

Two-on-four is no good, two-on-three, he is full of confidence.

Thinking of this, the usually peaceful Ku He also had a frightening murderous intent in his eyes.

……

"It's not good, General, Si, Si Gu Jian and Ku He are here!"

A messenger rushed into Qin Ye's tent in a hurry.

Qin Ye's complexion changed drastically, but he calmed down immediately, and said, "Have you notified General Zhao Yun?"

The dispatcher shook his head and said: "Not yet, the humble officer came to see you immediately."

Qin Ye immediately said: "Go and inform General Zhao Yun." After speaking, he hesitated for a while, and said: "No need, I will invite you in person."

Facing the two great masters, although he had hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, the huge city of Nanjing was spread out, and there were only a few thousand people at most who could guard him.

If the two great masters wanted to join forces to kill him, these people probably wouldn't be able to stop him at all.

However, when he hurried to Zhao Yun's camp, there was no one there.

He hurriedly asked, "Where is General Zhao?"

"General Zhao has left the city!"
