A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1496

[Chapter 1485]

At the beginning of the fourth round of the little prince and Yue Huanshan, it was already dusk, and there was a report outside the tent: “Report to the general, the Han army has an envoy to see me!”

Yue Huanshan’s face immediately showed a look of astonishment, and he couldn’t help but look up. Looking at Qi Ning on the opposite side, he saw that Qi Ning had put down the chess pieces in his hand, stood up, and said with a smile: “There is a guest coming, the general is going to go out to welcome the guest!”

Yue Huanshan was surprised: “My lord, are you? ……!”

“After seeing the messenger, it should be clear.” Qi Ning laughed.

Yue Huanshan and Qi Ning came out of the tent, and many generals in the Chu army had already come.

“General, the Han army has an envoy coming here.” A subordinate came forward: “It’s just that their attire is a little strange, I don’t know what happened.

”

The team of men and horses looked from afar, plain white, and their armor and helmets were all wrapped in white cloth.

Qi Ning frowned slightly when he saw the other party’s attire. Yue Huanshan was standing beside Qi Ning. Although he was the main general of the Qinhuai Army, Qi Ning was the king of the empire, so Yue Huanshan naturally did not dare to stand in front of Qi Ning. After hesitating for a while, he finally said solemnly: “Let them come here!”

There were about ten people in the Han army, but the leader was not Zhong Liao, but Zhai Zhi. At this time, they were outside the Yuanmen, and the Yuanmen opened, Zhai Zhi turned over and got off his horse, but only brought two subordinates into the gate, and immediately someone stepped forward to hand over the sabers of the three.

Entering the camp, there were soldiers of the Chu army on both sides, eyeing the three men who were approaching the central tent.

Qi Ning looked at Zhai Zhi from a distance, surrounded by more than a dozen generals. Seeing the three of Zhai Zhi in plain white, he faintly realized something, and his face suddenly became a little cold.

Zhai Zhi was a few steps away from Qi Ning and stopped.

“General Feng, sent a letter, please read it in person, General Yue of your army!” Zhai Zhi took out a letter from his arms, held it in both hands, bowed slightly, but did not kneel.

A general stepped forward, took the letter, turned around and walked to Qi Ning, hesitating for a while, not knowing whether the letter should be handed over to the little prince or directly to Yue Huanshan, but Qi Ning had already winked. , signaled to give it to Yue Huanshan, and that department would send it to Yue Huanshan.

Yue Huanshan stretched out his hand to take it, but did not open it immediately, and said to Zhai Zhi, “Is the commander Zhongli going to issue the final battle letter?” While speaking, he had already opened the letter, and after only two glances, his expression changed slightly. When the generals saw this, they were all surprised. They thought that the general was always happy and angry, and his psychological quality was very good. How could the color change when he saw a letter.

Qin Ning was calm and composed.

After Yue Huanshan read the letter, he presented it to Qi Ning with both hands, Qi Ning took it with his hand, glanced at it with a smile, and nodded, “We know what Commander Zhongli is thinking, but why didn’t Commander come in person?

Zhai Zhi looked sad and said, “The commander has passed away!”

Except

for Qi Ning, everyone present changed their colors, and Yue Huanshan was even more surprised: “Master Zhongli, he…?

” The commander said that he couldn’t keep the Han Empire, he was ashamed of the first emperor, he couldn’t be sorry to the Marquis of Changling, and he couldn’t be more sorry to the thousands of people of the Han Dynasty, so… he killed himself and apologized!” Zhai Zhi’s eyes were full of grief: “Da Before the commander passed away, let me hand over the surrender letter to General Yue Da, and the soldiers of the Han army are also ready to surrender to your country.”

Everyone was extremely surprised, and they never expected such an outcome.

In the past year, the

two armies of Chu and Han have fought bloody battles on the battlefield, each winning and losing. Although the Chu army now has the upper hand, everyone knows the reason. There were serious logistical problems, but even so, the Han army commanded by Zhong Liao was already an extremely difficult bone to crack.

The two armies fought each other for their masters, but the Chu army still had admiration for Zhong Liao.

The retreat of the Han army to Yaoshan is also the last barrier to defend Luoyang. The soldiers of the Chu army are also ready for a decisive battle with Zhong Liao’s troops, and everyone knows that even if this battle is won, there will be losses. Not small.

Unexpectedly, on the eve of the decisive battle, Zhong Liao actually committed suicide, and sent someone to hand over the surrender letter.

Yue Huanshan glanced at Qi Ning, the fifteenth day had not yet arrived, but what the little prince said actually came true.

Why did Zhong Liao kill himself before the decisive battle?

Zhai Zhi saw the surprise of the generals and said, “It’s not that my Han army dare not fight you, it’s just… we didn’t expect that Qu Yuangu’s traitor would murder the king and rebel, our army was cut off from food and grass, and the big Han The destiny has been exhausted, and the commander does not want to let tens of thousands of soldiers sacrifice in vain, so he will hand over the letter of surrender.”

“Qu Yuangu… betrayed?” Yue Huanshan said in surprise.

Seeing Yue Huanshan’s reaction, Zhai Zhi was a little strange: “Don’t you know that? After Qu Yuangu killed the king, he took control of Luoyang and sent the flag of your Chu character to your country of Chu.” What

Zhai Zhi said was true .

Unbelievable, all the generals in the Chu army wondered if they had heard it wrong.

Yue Huanshan looked at Qi Ning, and suddenly understood why the little prince was so sure that the Han army would be defeated more than ten days ago.

Of course, Qu Yuangu could not surrender to Chu for no reason. Of course, all of this had a lot to do with the little prince.

It’s just that Qi Ning’s expression at the moment is unusually dignified.

The Han army surrendered. Although the generals of the Chu army were relieved, they did not feel much joy. The atmosphere was a

little dignified. Suddenly, Qi Ning said loudly: “Bring the wine!”

He took it, patted Kaifeng Ni, faced Yaoshan, and said solemnly, “Commander Zhongli is unparalleled in loyalty and courage, and the journey is easy.” But he spilled the wine on the ground and shouted loudly: “Master Zhongli!” Immediately, he took one knee. Kneeling on the ground, including Yue Huanshan, they all quickly fell to one knee in the direction of Yaoshan to show respect to Zhong Liao.

Seeing this, Zhai Zhi also turned around with his two men and knelt down in the direction of Yaoshan.

The first snow in Luoyang came earlier than in previous years. It started to snow at dusk, and it fell all night. By the next morning, the whole Luoyang had been covered with a layer of white gauze.

Outside the city of Luoyang, thousands of soldiers from the northwest lined up, and Qu Yuangu led Luoyang’s civil and military officials to wait ten miles outside the city of Luoyang.

At noon, a flag finally appeared in the distance, more and more flags, the sound of horses’ hoofs, and thousands of cavalry swept in like a gust of wind sweeping leaves. Behind the cavalry, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers were advancing towards Luoyang. .

Seeing the hunting flag fluttering in the sky and hearing the rumbling sound of horses’ hooves, Qu Yuangu felt a little fortunate. Can the

arrogant

enemy army really hold back?

The Northern Han civil and military officials behind him had different expressions.

Qu Yuangu’s father and son killed Beitangfeng, blocked Luoyang, and even played the flag of Chu, and declared that Beitangfeng was incompetent, the world should belong to Mingjun, and the emperor of Chu, Wentao Wulue, was the real generation of British. Lord, so the father and son of the Qu family are willing to abandon the darkness to the light and surrender to the state of Chu.

As soon as this order came out, the whole Luoyang was in an uproar.

Many literati princes rushed to the head of the city of Luoyang and scolded traitorous officials for treason. Luoyang was once plunged into riots.

But Qu Yuangu certainly didn’t think such a commotion was a big deal. The Northwest Army took to the streets, killed a group of people, and seized a group of people. In the blood, the noise soon disappeared, and all civil and military officials also understood. , Han Dynasty Lian Huang Dì Dū is gone, the general trend has passed, and if you raise objections at this time, it is just a gift, and you can only succumb to Qu Yuangu’s iron-blooded power.

Qu Yuangu learned that the Chu army would soon be stationed in Luoyang, and immediately led a hundred civil and military officials out of the city to meet him.

Chu State’s iron cavalry was like the wind, and it didn’t take long for it to be in front of us. The first to ride the iron armored cold light was Yue Huanshan, the commander of the Qinhuai Army.

Yue Huanshan originally wanted to invite Qi Ning to accept the surrender of Luoyang, but Qi Ning categorically refused. This Northern Expedition was brought over by Yue Huanshan. Let Yue Huanshan lead his people to Luoyang City to accept the surrender, and he followed with a large group of people.

Seeing Yue Huanshan, Qu Yuangu immediately led people to greet him, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: “Qu Yuangu, the criminal general, led Luoyang civil and military officials to visit General Yue. Here are Luoyang’s household register and money and grain documents. , dedicate it to the general!” Looking back, someone immediately sent Luoyang’s household register, money and grain records and other related documents.

Yue Huanshan made people accept it. He rode on the horse and glanced at it. Then he got off the horse, stepped forward to help Qu Yuangu, and said with a smile: “General Qu is the most important thing. The great Chu ruled the world, and General Qu was a minister of great merit. The general had already submitted a letter to the court, and rushed to Jian Ye, and stated to the emperor General Qu’s credit. The emperor will be delighted when he finds out, and he will also reward him heavily at that time. Generals and all civil and military officials.”

“Don’t dare!” Qu Yuangu said hurriedly: “The general will realize it later, and it will be too late, so he should be punished!” He raised his hand and said, “I have already served the generals and the peace. Everyone put down the unblocking banquet, General please!”

“No hurry!” Yue Huanshan said with a smile: “General Qu, now that you are a minister of my Great Chu, then the Northwest Army under the General’s command is naturally my chief. General of Chu. I thought that the Northwest Army should be quickly reorganized and become part of our great Chu Xiong soldiers, I wonder what General Qu will think?” The corner of

Qu Yuangu’s mouth twitched slightly.

Of course he understood what Yue Huanshan meant.

Although Luoyang City has been opened to welcome the Chu army into the city, and he has presented the household registration form, but he has 30,000 Northwest troops in his hands, which after all makes the other party uneasy, so Yue Huanshan is not in a hurry to enter the city, and immediately To reorganize the Northwest Army, to put it bluntly, it is natural to hand over the weapons of the Northwest Army.

In fact, this is also what Qu Yuangu expected.

But now, he has no choice but to show a cooperative look, and cupped his hands: “It should be like this, it should be like this!” But he felt bitter in his heart: “With the Han Empire gone, the Northwest Army will also cease to exist! “
