I am the sword fairy

Chapter 263 The Angry Emperor Qi!

"Our family used to rent here with my parents. Tokyo is not as good as Lin'an. It's so cold in the winter. It's impossible to go out to collect some firewood. The streets are so damn clean compared to Dou'er. , I had to go dozens of miles out of the city and go up the mountain to collect firewood. I was only eight or nine years old at that time, thin and small, and had no strength. Everyone had a wheelbarrow, and rich people... Rich people didn't have to go up the mountain to collect firewood. Our family can only carry bundles home."

Li Chaoen, who was wearing a big cloak, pointed at a low and dilapidated house and talked and laughed.

She didn't comb it carefully, and some of her gray hair hanging down was gently blown by the wind. Although her face was smiling, her eyes were full of longing and emotion.

"Did you grow up here when you were a child?" Song Yu asked, supporting the old man.

"Yes, Tokyo City is great! The place where all nations come to visit, the center of the world, is much better than your hometown Hanjiang City!"

"..."

The old man said softly: "Although we were very wealthy at that time, we could only make a living at most in our hometown. If we come here to work and save money, we can still have some surplus. Of course, it is not easy to live in the capital. Money is also saved through the teeth.”

"Then why did you enter the palace later?"

Li Chaoen was silent for a while: "At that time, something happened. As a poor family, although they had saved some money, they could not withstand the storm."

"At that time, my mother was seriously ill, and my father broke his leg while working for others. After he was cured, he became disabled and could no longer do hard work. At that time, we still had a younger brother who wanted to study, so we just gritted our teeth and secretly went to study. name."

"What a fucking impulse!"

"Just selected?" Song Yu really didn't understand the recruitment of eunuchs in this feudal era and was very curious.

"I didn't choose. I think our parents are not good-looking, too thin, and a bit too old. They only want children who are five or six years old, and they have been raised since childhood." The old man said lightly: "Our family is better than us with sweet words. I beg the old man to say If I don't have money, I will die of illness, and my father won't be able to work, and I have a younger brother... maybe he felt compassion and left us here at that time."

"How did things get better after that?"

"Well, I'm getting better. My mother has recovered from her illness, and my brother has money to study, but he was ruined by Qi Gou!"

After saying this, both of them fell into a long silence.

The old capital of Kaifeng has been recovered for several days.

The old man suddenly had a whim and asked Song Yu to accompany him here for a visit.

In other words, it would have been in the hands of the enemy for decades, otherwise the former residence of a powerful eunuch like Li Chaoen... would have been renovated and protected by someone long ago.

"Let's go, I never thought before that I would have the opportunity to come back and see it in this life." The old man took one last look at the house where he once lived, and the scene from that time seemed to be reflected in his eyes.

He turned around silently and got into the carriage with Song Yu's help.

a few days later.

The army is on!
The number of people has also increased from the original [-] to [-]!

Every time Zhao Jun recaptures a city, the young Han people in that city will enthusiastically sign up to join the army.

The extra 2 people are still the result of choosing the best among the best.

Those who were screened out were used as "reserves" to guard those cities.

Song Yu led 2 troops to Luzhou in the northwest.

Li Chaoen led [-] troops to attack Dongping Prefecture, intending to attack Jinan Prefecture, Yidu Prefecture and other places after taking it.

The two armies of Zhao Dan and Lu Tong have now captured Pingyang Prefecture, Fenzhou, and Jiazhou. When Li Chaoen entered Kaifeng, he received news from there that the two armies of Zhao Dan had begun to attack. Prepare to attack in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Hejian Mansion.

Daming Mansion, Xingzhou and other places were left to Song Yu.

If all these places were captured, almost all the land lost by Zhao State would have been recovered.

When the four armies merge together, they can point their sword at Zhongdu, the capital of Qi State!
This speed of advancement is simply jaw-dropping!
By May or June next year at most, it is estimated that not only will all the occupied territory be recovered, but we will even be able to "open up new territories"!
Not to mention Song Yu, even Li Chaoen couldn't believe the speed and extent of Qi's decline.

According to time calculation, today's senior generals of Qi State should be the same group of Qi State soldiers who were victorious in all battles back then.

As a result, in just over 30 years, the military strength has dropped to this level... It is simply incredible!
Even if the real elites of the Qi State are currently gathering in the northwest and fighting fiercely with the Liao State, they are not so empty, right?
The old dog of the Supreme Emperor Qi Kun is still alive!
What is he doing?
I just can't figure it out. Lao Li, Zhao Dan, Lu Tong and Song Yu are not people who spoil children.

Lead a large army and destroy everything with overwhelming force!

……

……

Jianyuan 25 years.

The eighth day of March.

22-year-old Song Yu stood on the city wall of Damingfu, looking at the snow-capped north.

Dozens of miles away, flags were fluttering and tents stretched, with no end in sight.

Two 10,000+ troops from the Qi State are stationed there. The general... is the Qi State Emperor Qi Bing!

It was indeed a shock.

No one had thought before that the situation had developed to this point in just a few months.

If we don't resist, we may be like Zhao Guo, who was attacked by others and trampled on the central capital.

at the same time.

Emperor Qi also sat in front of his Chinese army tent and looked towards Daming Mansion.

It's like a cycle.

He could not forget the scenery when he first came here.

Playing with the Emperor Zhao's concubine in front of the Supreme Emperor Zhao and the Emperor...

That feeling was still fresh in his memory to this day.

After that time, I never came here again.

Unexpectedly, many years later, the banner on the city wall of Daming Mansion... has been replaced by the word "Zhao".

Looking at the big flag, Emperor Qi's eyes were full of complexity.

He even couldn't believe that Zhao could become so ferocious just because of the appearance of Song Yu?
It feels like one person can change a country!
The more than 20 Qi troops he brought out this time were already the last elite troops in the entire Qi country.

For this battle, he also recruited more than 80 civilians to serve as logistical support for this war.

This battle is about the destiny of the country and there is no room for failure!
At this moment, two fast horses galloped from the direction of Damingfu.

Entering the military camp along the camp gate, running for more than ten miles at a stretch, finally arrived in front of Emperor Qi.

A knight knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the letter has been sent!"

Someone next to Emperor Qi asked: "What are the reactions of Song Yu and Li Chaoen?"

"Sir, we have not seen Song Yu, nor have we seen Li Chaoen..." another knight replied.

"What? Didn't you see it? How is it possible? Didn't you say it was a letter written by His Majesty himself?"

"We said it, but the person who received us was a tall young man, probably... General Huang Tenghuang. He took the letter and asked us to come back, and said..."

"say what?"

"If we don't get out quickly, we'll be beaten to death with a stick!"

"..."

Huang Teng now has a very prominent reputation in Qi State.

Not because he is Song Yu's younger brother, but because he was shot with a real sword and a real gun!
In the process of Zhao Jun's continuous conquering of those cities, not all places were completely unresisting. There were also many Qi soldiers who wanted to "defend their homes and country" deep in their hearts.

The further north you go, the more so.

But almost no one is Huang Teng's enemy.

The big stick of pure copper in his hand could split the brain if he hit it, or make a hole if he poked it.

Now it is a nightmare for countless Qi soldiers.

Emperor Qi stopped those around him who wanted to get angry and said calmly: "It doesn't matter who receives the letter. What's important is that I want to see how Zhao Guoguo, a filial piety heirloom, will respond? Does Li Chaoen have the guts to let those behind him? The official family bears this name of unfilial piety!"

……

……

The government office of Daming Mansion.

Li Chaoen looked at the letter in his hand, which was covered with the imperial seal of the Qi State. He changed from his usual gentleness, and his eyes were full of anger: "What a beast! You want us to withdraw our troops with two dying old men. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" matter?"

Song Yu said: "What did he say?"

Li Chaoen angrily threw the letter to Song Yu: "Read it yourself."

Song Yu took it and read it carefully, feeling a little headache: "Is this a case of jumping over the wall?"

Li Chaoen said: "If we continue fighting like this, after passing Hejian Mansion, we will go straight to Zhongdu. Can he not be in a hurry?"

Song Yu looked at Li Chaoen: "What are you going to do?"

"What a stupid thing! Our family has been worried about this, but we didn't expect them to actually do it!" Li Chaoen said angrily: "It is undoubtedly a fool's errand to ask us to withdraw our troops and hand over the lost territory based on this! Don't say that. These lost lands, our family still wants to wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Song Yu knew that the old man was not lying, because he thought so too.

Not long ago, the Liao Emperor sent someone to deliver a letter to him, making an agreement that the Liao Kingdom only wanted the vast pasture in the northwest region of the Qi Kingdom, and the territory conquered by the Zhao Kingdom would belong to the Zhao Kingdom!
He also told Song Yu that after destroying Qi, he planned to go west.

After crossing the huge mountain range to the west, there is a large area of ​​fertile farmland. There is no need to fight with Zhao Guo, who is also in high morale at this time.

Song Yu readily agreed and wrote a reply in his own handwriting and gave it to the Liao envoy, agreeing with the Liao Emperor that when there would be only these two great powers left in the world, he would not consider the matter of competing.

……

……

March tenth.

General Tong Tieyin under Emperor Qi came to call for formation.

This innate-level general rode a big horse and carried a long spear made of stainless steel.

The horse's handsomeness is not inferior to Song Yu's little white horse and Qi Jue's dark horse.

Tong Tieyin named him and wanted to challenge Song Yu.

Huang Teng, who was rushed out on horseback, was knocked off his horse with a stick and hit with another stick until his brains exploded.

This scene made countless Zhao troops cheer in the city of Damingfu!
The Qi army was in a state of mourning, and its morale was extremely low.

Immediately afterwards, two old men in ragged clothes were pushed out by Qi Jun.

Kneeling on the snow more than a mile outside Daming Mansion.

Two master-level warriors stood on either side of them, holding brightly shining broadswords in their arms.

An envoy from the Qi State shouted loudly: "Look clearly, these are your father and brother from the official family of the Zhao State! Your Majesty only gives you a stick of incense to go out of the city to negotiate! Otherwise...don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Song Yu and Li Chaoen stood side by side at the top of the city, while Zhao Fengqing, Matsumoto Zhi, Su Chaoyun, and Yan Yunxia stood behind.

At the same time, there was a group of Zhao army generals.At this moment, their faces were all extremely ugly.

Zhao State indeed has filial piety passed down to the family, and they also believe that the two miserable old men should be the father and brother of the official family...the former king of the country!

But if you want to rely on these two people to exert pressure, no one will be willing!

Now the whole Zhao country is united, and with most of the lost land recovered, the whole country is completely boiling, and morale is extremely strong.

In this atmosphere, almost no one mentioned the official father and brother.

It feels like it’s too bad to say it out loud.

More than 30 years have passed, and in the minds of countless people, those two people should have died long ago!
He should be dead!
It would be the greatest mercy for the people of Zhao not to hate the king who ruined his country and ruined his great mountains and rivers.

Who the hell cares whether they live or die?
Not to mention that the great situation is here now. The state of Qi is as corrupt and empty as the state of Zhao more than 30 years ago!
If we don't take the opportunity to destroy them, do we have to wait until they come up with a resurgence master and become powerful again?
Not to mention two ignorant kings who should have died silently and subjugated their country a long time ago. To put it bluntly, even if it were a current official, a group of arrogant and powerful generals would dare to ask the court to replace him!
At this time, the two old men kneeling in the snow were both in tears.

The old eyes that were already dim could hardly see clearly the people on the top of the city.

Everything was blurry, except for the big flag fluttering in the wind with the word "Zhao" written on it. They could see it clearly and carefully!

Two old men with an age difference of less than 20 years, one in his 60s and the other in his 80s, knelt there tremblingly. First they burst into tears, and then they couldn't help but burst into tears.

I don't know if they are happy or regretful.

The two master warriors holding swords with flashing cold light beside them scolded at the same time——

"What the hell are you crying for, a weakling?"

"If you cry again, I'll chop off your heads with a knife!"

The two waning old men stopped crying immediately.

terrified.

If they really weren't afraid of death, they wouldn't be alive today.

In fact, they had a pretty good life originally, but Emperor Qi still wanted to use them to put pressure on Zhao, and always ordered the people below to take good care of them.

The reason why it is so miserable now, like two beggars, is mainly to arouse some discussion.

Although there are no ordinary people standing at the gate of Daming Mansion, there are many soldiers from Zhao State.

This scene must not be hidden, and it will be spread later.

I don’t believe that the official family of Zhao State can bear such a reputation for being unfilial!
Now the Zhao State is like the Qi State back then, sweeping the country and unstoppably taking back the territory it lost back then.

If it were spread at this time that the army ignored the officials' father and brother, it would inevitably make people think that this was the official's instructions. Not everyone can afford such a reputation for being cold and indifferent.

After all, not everyone has the mentality of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

Qi Huang was clearly putting pressure on Li Chaoen and Song Yu.

Even those arrogant soldiers who don't care about anything dare to die just thinking about it in their hearts. What does it have to do with me?

But he didn't dare to say a word.

Everyone was now staring at Li Chaoen, who was standing at the top of the city wearing a big cloak.

The old man glanced at Song Yu, with a bit of struggle in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's our family's order to let the army push across!"

Song Yu was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Don't you want to talk to them?"

Li Chaoen lowered his eyebrows and said, "What's there to talk about? What to talk about? What if there's a scam?"

After all, the old man was still worried about Song Yu.

If he hadn't been worried about the big demon hiding around Emperor Qi, he would have suggested Song Yu implement a beheading plan.

First chop off the head of Qi Huang's dog, and then ride to Zhongdu to find Qi Kun's old dog to settle the score.

At this moment, Emperor Qi set up such a formation. Who knows if it was a trap he deliberately set up to trap Song Yu?

Song Yu understood the old man's thoughts and sighed: "You still have to worry about your official reputation."

No matter how unbearable these two old men are, they are still the father and brother of the official family. They have failed everyone in Zhao State, but they have nothing to do with the current official family.

At this time, the other side shouted again: "It's already half time!"

Perhaps because of nervousness, his voice was a little distorted.

The air is also filled with tension.

The "Second Emperor" who was kneeling there couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, and started to cry again.

At this time, a master-level warrior pointed a knife at one of them and shouted angrily: "Shut up for me..."

Before the word "mouth" could be uttered, a ray of light suddenly shot out of the void.

It was a flying sword only the size of a finger!

The grandmaster couldn't even see its existence, let alone make any reaction.

He had already been pierced between his eyebrows by this flying sword.

Death on the spot!

boom!
Countless Qi troops suddenly let out a cry of terror.

After Feijian killed one person, he quickly killed another grandmaster too!
Then, Song Yu's cold voice came from the top of the city: "You can talk if you want, but don't use this method. You Emperor Qi also has parents and brothers. If you use such despicable methods, be careful of retribution!"

"Also, if you randomly find two old people who don't know what they are called, and say they are our official father and brother, then should I just randomly find someone and say they are your mother? If you don't surrender, are you being an unfilial son?"

On top of the city, General Zhao Guobing, who was originally extremely nervous, suddenly burst into loud laughter.

A calm voice came from the depths of Qi's military camp: "As the leader of a country, I won't lie to others. You can also ask Manager Li next to you. He served the second emperor back then, so he will naturally recognize it. And Song Yu, you are too arrogant, do you really think that no one in this world can cure you?"

Song Yu said: "You want to negotiate, right?"

The Qi Emperor's voice came again from the depths of Qi's military camp: "It's not about negotiation, it's about you now, right away... withdrawing from Daming Mansion, handing back the territory of Qi that was occupied without reason, and then..."

"Get the hell out of here!" Song Yu suddenly interrupted him with a sharp shout.

"You bitch, you threaten two old men who you don't know where to find. How the hell do you think you are the king of a country?"

"Your father Qi Kun was also a hero back then. Are you really his biological child? How come you look like a piece of shit! It's disgusting!"

Song Yu's voice overwhelmed everyone!

What decency, what rules?
Rules are for people to tell!
Emperor Qi was furious after being scolded so much that he almost had his head cut off the heads of the two old guys.

But reason told him that he couldn't do this.

Feeling the anger of the Qi soldiers around him, Emperor Qi looked coldly at Song Yu on top of the city in the distance and said: "You are too vulgar! This is a major matter between countries, and it also involves the reputation of your official family. You can Without education, do you want your Zhao family to be accused of being disloyal and unfilial?"

"Be honest and stop talking about these useless things. For example, after I destroy your Qi country, please restrain my subordinates from digging up the ancestral graves of your Qi royal family." Song Yu said lightly: "I think this is already the case. Quite a concession!”

Emperor Qi was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.

But it's not over yet.

Song Yu continued: "After all, you guys dug a lot of the tombs of our Zhao royal family back then."

"Repaying evil with kindness is not Zhao's style!"

"Qi Bing, think clearly for yourself and stop talking to me about vulgarity and vulgarity. This is a fucking war!"

"Who told you about civility and etiquette?"

"Did you Qigou talk about civilization with the people of Zhao who died tragically?"

"So stop talking nonsense, what can and cannot be mentioned, I hope you can take care of yourself!"

"Song Yu, you are too presumptuous!"

"You are so vulgar to the extreme!"

"How dare you call my Majesty by his first name, you are simply not a son of a man!"

"The dignified prince of a country is like a street gangster. It's too much!"

The Lord humiliates the minister to death.

The group of civil and military ministers around Emperor Qi are going crazy now!

It's not like they haven't heard of Song Yu's name. From literature to martial arts, it's like thunder.

Naturally, I have also heard that Song Yu is full of charlatanism.

But in their perception, Jiang Huqi should be the kind of bold and heroic man with a chivalrous spirit, full of blood, drinking a lot of wine and eating meat.

He is a hero who died generously for his promise!

He is a hero who can be rude but will never be vulgar!

What the hell is Song Yu?

What a ruthless bully!
How did such a person say so many classic quotes, and how did he create such a masterpiece that would be handed down from generation to generation?

Song Yu, who was standing at the top of the city, couldn't help but laugh. He did not use his spiritual power and said to Li Chaoen and other soldiers beside him: "Have the literati of Qi... only learned the worst of the sour and rotten atmosphere of our Zhao country? The real essence. ...They didn’t learn at all?”

"Ah? What are they talking about?" The old man looked at Song Yu blankly.

Song Yu: "..."

Then he realized that despite being so far away, the old man's state was basically in a state of ruin.

He is just an ordinary old eunuch, how can he hear what is being said over there?
Song Yu told him once, and the old man was silent for a while.

The wrinkled old face was full of emotion and ridicule, and he said: "Don't think too much of our Zhao State. Although these Qi State literati are very rotten, at least they know that their masters will humiliate their ministers to death, and they dare to choke you with a few words. The two old men kneeling outside and the ministers around them back then were not as good as others."

Li Chaoen did not continue, but the smile on Song Yu's face slowly disappeared.

Day by day, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?

The scene seemed to be at a stalemate.

One of the "killer trump cards" prepared by Emperor Qi not only failed to achieve miraculous results, but was also scolded bloody by Song Yu.

Everyone was almost so angry that they vomited blood on the spot.

Song Yu also had no good solution here. The two old men who looked disgusting were difficult to control, but he couldn't really ignore them.

He even thought about whether he should try to confuse the public with his lies?

This thought only flashed through his mind.

This kind of witchcraft should be avoided if possible.

The battle for national destiny is fought openly and openly!
