Chapter 874
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the states and counties thought that the war was suspended and they could take a breather, the cavalry generals under the command of Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao took advantage of the lights on the fifteenth night, took advantage of the chaos and led thousands of elite soldiers to rush across the Fushui River and raid Fucheng. Occupy Fucheng without the Fucheng prefect.

It was also on the same day that Xiao Jingyao's cavalry captain Wang Mian led his troops to capture Luocheng.

The generals stationed in Luocheng were defeated by a surprise attack and were defeated in Mianzhu. However, the generals of Mianzhu heard that the soldiers under Luoyang Wang Xiao Jingyao had surrounded it in three ways, and surrendered without a fight.

On the dark day of the first month, Yizhou declared its fall.

Xiao Jingyao ordered Wang Mian to appease the people of Yizhou, restore the people's livelihood, and reduce and exempt all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes collected for the construction of the official residence in Yizhou before. The people of Yizhou are all grateful to Luoyang Wang Xiao Jingyao.

On the fifth day of March, Wuling King Xiao Rong led an army of tens of thousands to capture Yongzhou.

On the ninth day of March, the prefect of Jiangling believed that there was a lot of floating ice on the river, the weather was cold and the river was fast-flowing, and the enemy dared not cross the river, so he sent only a few sailors to guard the river, and the infantry on both banks. Xiao Duo, the son of Changsha Prince, led his men to break the ice Cross the river and go straight to the city of Jiangling.

Hearing that Jiangling was lost, General Zuowei of Yingzhou guarded Yingzhou with elite troops from the counties along the river, and densely planted trees in the water to block the traffic of boats.

On the other hand, Yingzhou was built on the hillside, and the city was built with stones. Neither arrows nor stones can get close, and it is impossible to attack by force.

Xiao Duo, the eldest son of Changsha Prince, showed off his troops and surrounded them without attacking them; on the other hand, he secretly dispatched his soldiers to attack Huangjiawan Fort in the lower reaches of Yingzhou, and then sent troops to repair Pingjiang Weir, broke bamboo to pave the ground, dragged boats into the lake, and attacked in a roundabout way.

General Zuowei led his troops to fight fiercely with Xiao Duo's soldiers for five days and five nights, and finally lost to Xiao Duo.

As the major states and counties fell one after another, Xiao Heng, who was far away in the imperial palace of the imperial capital, could not calm down no matter what. An imperial decree was passed on. Send 20 soldiers and horses and order him to lead the army to quell the chaos of the kings!
When Wei Ziyi, who was far away in Weihan, received the imperial decree, he felt quite complicated for a while.

Previously, their Wei family had made countless military exploits for the emperor, but the emperor began to be jealous of the Wei family because of his sister Wei Zijin's marriage to the King of Luoyang. He not only demoted his official position, but also cut off part of their Wei family's military power!

Now the emperor suddenly issued an imperial decree, appointing him as General Xiaoqi again, and sending him additional troops to lead the troops to quell the chaos. It seems that he is being reused, but in fact, it is probably because there is no one else to choose!
"Military teacher, what do you think?" Wei Ziyi asked with a frown, only feeling that the emperor's imperial decree is like a hot potato.

"My lord, let's see in your heart, is it more important to be loyal to the emperor, or your family is more important!"

Wei Ziyi fell silent suddenly, this is exactly what made him hesitate!

"Military Master, if I am ordered to quell the chaos of the kings, what will happen to my sister Zijin?"

"She is the princess of Luoyang, I'm afraid she will be executed with the king of Luoyang!"

Hearing the word "Wen Zhan", Wei Ziyi's body was shocked suddenly, and the image of Wei Zijin playing with him in the general's mansion when he was young appeared in his mind involuntarily.
