A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

"Shui Jing Zhu" records that the Fu water flows out of Xiyao Mountain in Luyang County, while the Zhan River flows out of the northwest of Beiyuchi Mountain in Ji County, flows southeast, and flows down Liyuchi.

At noon, the place where Yuwen Xiaobo raised his troops was in Yutou Mountain, also known as Yuling Mountain, less than a few miles away from Ji County. It is said that it was the former residence of the Chiyou clan.

In the afternoon, the sun is slightly westward, and because it has not been rained for a long time, the sky and the dense forest in the valley are still dry and everything is sluggish.

The two fast horses in front of the head carried a black and red pair of men and women across the green field. Before they reached the foot of Yuling Mountain, they saw broken vegetation and trampled footprints along the way.

Yuling Mountain is about five miles long from north to south, and about ten feet high. At this time, the sky is covered with the sun, and the top of the head is covered with smoke.

Yuan Wuyou's palms holding the reins were sweating, he was dizzy from the heat, and his ears were deafened by the buzzing of cicadas, but the messy footprints in front of him were too obvious to be ignored.

The ghost-faced general who followed closely behind him was also armed with alert right-hand men. At this moment, one of the generals couldn't help blocking the way——

"Brother, wait! The footsteps of people and horses here are messy. There must be heavy enemy troops passing by. If you go further, you may be ambushed!"

Someone started first, so Yuan Wuyou was not afraid of offending both parties and causing suspicion, so he tightened the reins and slowed down the horse, sat down firmly, twisted his upper body, and looked at the saber-like profile of the Xianbei man,
"Yuwen Huaibi! Do you have a trap?"

Doubtful words came and went, and uneasy emotions enveloped the surroundings.

The ghost-masked general at the back also cheered up immediately, reining in his horse and slowly following the two people in front, two fierce lights shot out from under the ghost's face to show vigilance,
"Zheng Xuannv! Are you still asking questions knowingly? Come back to this king quickly!"

A group of more than a dozen cavalrymen stopped slowly in an instant, and the female general in red didn't respond, her eyes were fixed on the dark blue phoenix eyes of the Xianbei man who was only an arm's length away.

——At this moment, a group of Qi soldiers came from behind, speaking the voice of the Central Plains, howling like a wolf, King Lanling, help!
When this group of people came close, it turned out to be a white-skinned Xianbei soldier wearing bright light armor, leading several Han soldiers wearing rotten copper and iron armor, and all of them were painted on their heads and body, describing them as embarrassed.

This group of people came to report the urgent military situation to King Lanling.Ye County, south of Ji County, was already captured by Zhou Guoyuwen Zhibu. The Zhou army took advantage of the momentum to pursue and is now storming Hongyang, the sister city of Ye County. The king gave orders and dispatched troops.

At the same time, the battle situation on the western front was equally tight. The Zhou army sent troops from Nanyang Bowangpo to point directly at Duyang City this morning, and it would arrive at about sunset to start the battle.

King Ande's prevarication and arguing are really due to various considerations.

You must know that the military system of the Qi State is different from the military system established by the Western Wei empress that the State of Qi inherited; the State of Qi inherited the Eastern Wei Dynasty and implemented the division of troops between Yi and Han. More than 20 are the core strength of the Qi army.Among them, the commander-in-chief of Qi's military system is the leading general, the guarding general, and the governor of Gyeonggi.The leading general has been the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army from the Eastern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Qi Dynasty, directly in charge of the emperor's guards and the Chinese army stationed around the capital.

As the leading general, Gao Changgong nominally governed the central army of Suwei in Gyeonggi, and was the marshal who commanded the main army of Daqi.

But no matter his personal soldiers or King Ande's, they all belong to the main force of Qi State, and it is extremely difficult to mobilize these Xianbei soldiers.Since the third year of Heqing in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the land equalization system was implemented. It was stipulated that all men should be [-] soldiers, and [-] should be exempted from forced labor. The people of the average land are mainly Han people. Therefore, Han men in Qi State must perform military service when they reach the age.

Although most of the Chinese army were barbarian soldiers, most of the state soldiers and town guards in the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi were composed of Han soldiers.The Northern Qi Dynasty stipulated that after the Han people served in the military, they generally also served in the state soldiers and guarded the border.Therefore, it is extremely difficult for them to ask for help from the Xianbei uncle soldiers of the Chinese army. They can only ask Lanling King for help. First of all, he is righteous, and secondly, he has Han soldiers under him.

What's more, the two counties of Ye and Hongyang came to ask for help, and King Lanling, as the leading general, would not sit idly by for the sake of the country and the people.If the Zhou army seized the three cities of Yexian, Hongyang, and Duyang, Luyang, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, would become a wild goose, isolated and difficult to support, and would be swallowed up by the aggressive Zhou army at any time.

After hearing this, Yuan Wuyou realized that the dog emperor next to her brought her to Gao Changgong to distract the tiger away from the mountain by himself.

Everyone who learned of this situation looked at each other in blank dismay, especially the three people facing each other in front of them.King Lanling's subordinates clasped their fists and asked him,
"Brother, shall we still send Lord Zhou?"

The ghost-faced general slapped his saddle angrily, raised his phoenix eyes,

"Give me what? Why don't you take him back as a hostage? Yu Wenzhi asked his brother to use bitter tricks to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so this king put his brother outside Hongyang City to see if he recognizes him."

Yuwen Huaibi had already reined in his horse and turned around when he heard the military situation just now, and now he was holding a jade-colored white hand that glistened directly under the sun, and said generously, "How do you know that adjusting the tiger away from the mountain is not catching a turtle in a urn?"

Then the phoenix eyes slanted slightly, glanced at the girl in red sitting beside her on the black horse, and said in a cold tone, "There is a grand feast ahead, do you dare to break in?"

He already said that there was a trap, Yuan Wuyou definitely didn't want to break into it!She didn't even say goodbye, she was about to throw the dog emperor back to Gao Changgong's side, but he suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder!

With his slender arms and legs, could he be Yuan Wuyou's opponent?Because the distance between the two was only an arm's length, she grabbed his thin wrist with her backhand, but because she couldn't use it immediately, she was limited to this.

Seeing this, Gao Changgong urged the horse to come forward, and shouted loudly, "Let her go! Shameless and stupid, you... can't wait to come back with her, right?!"

As soon as he finished his words, there was a loud cry—"Senior senior brat! Don't hurt our Majesty!"

Then there was a sudden commotion in the grass in front of them. The dozen or so cavalrymen from the Qi Kingdom watched helplessly as a group of white-faced bearded men appeared in the green grass. Yuwen Xiaobo and others who were ambushing here were all wearing armor and carrying knives, holding bows and arrows.

I don't know how long I have been squatting.
