Chapter 194 Those are the people of Yong Kingdom

When the shout to close the city gate came, Jiang Ben and Wei Zipei were dozens of feet away from the city gate.

And further away, the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground quickly approached.

Soldiers in armor, carrying the power of thunder, pressed towards Daliang City.

It is estimated that there are more than [-] people.

Wei Zipei barely controlled the restless horse and looked at Jiang Ben on the carriage.

"Come into town!" she shouted.

Because Jiang Ben was injured, the driver Wei Zipei brought was the coachman was sitting dumbfounded, and when he heard this, he immediately turned his horse's head.

But more people had already turned around and crowded towards the city gate.

No need to wait for someone to warn you.

The soldiers who rushed over at this time were enemies as long as they were not Wei troops.

But the Wei army had already withdrawn.

They threw away their belongings, picked up their children, supported their parents, and ran forward desperately.

There is no one to protect them, except the eternally strong city wall of Daliang City.

and also--

Colliding, fighting, crying and cursing, the people who crowded to the city gate saw the figure standing high on the city wall.

Dressed in white, holding a crossbow.

Young Master Wei Ji.

The young master hasn’t left yet! The young master hasn’t abandoned us yet! Thank God!

The first person to see Wei Ji was already crying, and the cry caused everyone to look towards the city the swaying wooden bridge, many people knelt down and kowtowed.

"Let women and children go first," Wei Ji sternly scolded on the city wall, pointing his bow and crossbow at the people under the wall, "If anyone takes advantage of the chaos to cause trouble——"

The young master's words are as good as his words, and the young master's shots are always on target.

The people who were originally in chaos and almost trampling on each other suddenly became orderly.

But at this time, the soldiers who suddenly appeared were already rushing towards one at the front raised his sword a few feet away from Wei Zipei and chopped down an old man from Wei State.

"Hand over the money!"

"Go to the royal family of Wei! Find their treasury silver! Go to the city to find it!"

They laughed loudly, each one like a wolf.

There are still many people outside the city gate, but the city gate can only be closed.

"It's from Chu!"

Long Yangjun on the city wall finally saw the opponent's battle uniform clearly, his eyes were about to burst and he shouted hissingly.

"Why are the Chu people here?" he murmured to himself.

There are still defenders on Wei's border, and those defenders have to wait for his order to retreat northward.

But Long Yangjun did not receive any information from the defenders.

How did the Chu army avoid the Wei defenders and cross the border? Perhaps the defenders had withdrawn because they were afraid of the Yong army? more likely...

A possibility that made Long Yangjun tremble appeared in his heart.

The gentleman in gorgeous red clothes stood on the city wall and drew the sword from his waist.

"I will ask in person."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Jiang Ben's coachman shouted when he saw the city gate closed, "We haven't entered yet!"

Jiang Ben didn't let him compete with others before, but now he couldn't even try to compete with others.

"We're not going in."

Jiang Ben stood up and pulled out his sword, barely standing up straight.

He looked at Wei Zipei, who also looked at him.

The breeze blew the broken hair on Wei Zipei's forehead, and they looked at each other in the noisy and chaotic battlefield, as if ten thousand years had passed.

Wei Zipei looked away first with tears in his eyes.

She galloped northward on horseback, shouting as she ran.

"If you haven't entered the city yet, come with me!"

Jiang Ben stood on the carriage and stabbed with his long sword, cutting down a cavalryman who was chasing Wei Zipei.

He endured the pain and mounted his horse, wrapping the hilt of the sword around his hand.

"Zipei," Jiang Ben only had time to shout at the moment of life and death, "be careful!"

I thought I could hide it, but I was still discovered.

"Where did the general just go?"

Meng Tian stood there awkwardly, facing Jiang He's question, and replied: "They, under orders..."

"What are you ordered to do? Whose orders?"

Jiang He asked.

Today is the time to fulfill their promise with the Wei State. At midnight, they retreated to a hundred miles away from Daliang.

According to the agreement, we will not be able to approach Daliang City until midnight tonight.

They would wait until daybreak to enter the city gates and take over the city.

Daliang will become the territory of Yong State, and the Wei State south of the Yellow River will be in the possession of Yong State.

But Jiang He found that a thousand cavalrymen had left.

The cavalry was very fast, so they must be executing some order.

"Wei Chen..." Meng Tian hesitated, but still reported, "Send them to meet Wang Ji."

Wang Ji was previously sent by Jiang He to dig canals on the south bank of the Yellow River.

In order to frighten the Wei State and show the possibility of flooding the beams, Wang Ji did not leave even if a peace agreement was later negotiated.

"What are we meeting for?" Jiang He clenched his fingers tightly in his sleeves and frowned.

"Capture and kill the royal family of the King of Wei." Meng Tian said.

He lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong behind the queen's back.

Then I remembered that I was acting under orders, and I regained my composure a little. "General Meng," Jiang He's voice sounded like broken green bamboo, filled with cold anxiety, "Whose order are you following...?"

Meng Tian took out the secret letter from his sleeve and presented it to Jiang He.

"Wei ministers dare not disobey the king's orders."

Yes, it’s the king’s order.

She recognized Zhao Zheng's handwriting, stroke by stroke.

She was familiar with the decisiveness of his writing, the strength of his strokes, and the tendency of his closing strokes.

Those seven words were strong and dazzling, hitting her heart like a drumstick.

——Kill all the male members of the Wei royal family.

why? He made it clear that Daliang was thousands of miles away and it was up to her to decide everything.

The Wei royal family fled among the people. Such a killing spree would inevitably hurt innocent people.

He still wanted to pull out Wei Ji's thorn and couldn't wait for even a moment.

He even bypassed himself and sent the letter directly to Meng Tian.

Doesn't he believe in himself? Jiang He stood at the camp in the forest where the autumn leaves had fallen, and suddenly felt the biting cold though he was wearing a big cloak, he was still very cold.

"Your Highness..." Meng Tian was about to speak again, but suddenly he heard a secret message from the military guard.

"Eight hundred miles urgent, please submit to General Meng."

The guard jumped off his horse, his horse fell to the ground from exhaustion, and he was breathing heavily.

Meng Tian stepped forward to receive the letter, but Jiang He had already raised his hand.

"Bring it to the Palace."

she said coldly.

The Weiwei Army messenger came forward, looked at Meng Tian, ​​then at Jiang He, his face turned pale.

The letter was sent to the wrong person and he was going to be beheaded.

Meng Tian had no choice but to take the letter and send it to Jiang He without reading it.

The light cyan letter bag was tied up with a drawstring. Jiang He opened the drawstring with a surprised look on his face.

The envelope is empty.

The urgent letter was eight hundred miles away, but there was nothing in it.

Realizing that something was wrong, the courier looked at the letter bag carefully. The guard's knees suddenly became weak and he fell to his knees.

"I don't know what happened to me. I will die if I am humble!"

"Pull it down!" Meng Tian waved his hand and said, "Send someone to investigate. Anyone who has seen this letter on the road will be bundled back to Xianyang for investigation!"

"Send someone to ask again," Jiang He said, "to ask for His Majesty's orders."

This is your Majesty's letter.

If you lose the secret message, you won't know what His Majesty's order is.

Meng Tian was pacing back and forth, but Jiang He interrupted him and said, "General Meng, I would like to lend you three thousand soldiers and horses."

"Borrow troops and horses?"

"Yes," Jiang He said, "I want to see how the cavalry you sent to kill the Wei royal family is doing."

Should we see how well we are doing, or should we stop it?

It is not unreasonable for His Majesty to give him the order directly.

Meng Tian hesitated and was about to refuse when he suddenly heard the whistle of a scout.

Military information has arrived! "Your Royal Highness, General Meng," the scout spoke before he could kneel down on one knee, "The Chu army took advantage of our army's temporary retreat to attack Daliang City!"

"What? How many people?"

Jiang He didn't move, Meng Tian asked first.

"About [-]. The Chu army mainly engaged in plundering and did not bring siege engines. However, I saw that they were carrying light rope ladders and were probably going to enter the city."

The rope ladder can be nailed into the city wall with a powerful crossbow and climbed up.

In the past, Daliang City was guarded by thousands of Wei that the Wei army has withdrawn, the Chu army can easily scale the city wall, open the city gates, and loot all the people in Daliang City.

Jiang He's heart tightened.

"Your Highness," Meng Tian asked, "according to the agreement, we can't enter the city yet, what will the people of Wei do?"

What should the people of Wei do? Since the Chu army is a robber, they will not be satisfied with plundering gold and silver.

Jiang He took a step forward.

Her eyes burned with rage and were as red as blood.

"Those are not people from Wei State," Jiang He said, "those are from Yong State."

It's from the Yong Kingdom.

Jiang He thought so on the way to Daliang.

She has learned so much from her father, not just to be invincible through scheming and strategy, and to show that the Sun family's military skills are the best in the world.

Zhao Zheng suffered the infamy of becoming the enemy of the Six Kingdoms, not for the purpose of achieving great achievements and becoming an eternal king.

Her and Zhao Zheng's long-cherished wish since childhood was not to seize the city, plunder the people, and build a bigger and stronger Yong Kingdom, but to unify these countries where the Huaxia clan was divided.

For people who say the same thing, are from the same family.

The people of Wei, the people of Chu, and the people from all over the world are all the people of Yong.

The people of Yong State should be under the protection of Yong Army.

"Meng Tian!"

Jiang He said sternly: "Follow me!"

"As ordered!"

"Go and summon Wang Ji back!" Queen Yong, who was on horseback, continued to order, "And your thousand cavalry! The enemy now is Chu!"

It's the state of Chu.

Let us meet with swords, and the brave will win!
