Chapter 223: Pacification (Part 2)

On the third day, the situation in the city stabilized.

It was dark and the sun had not risen completely, so Wang Hongyi had washed up.

He hurriedly used the meal and rushed to the square in the city.

Perhaps he was sighing at Wei Yue's death. Wang Hongyi, who was riding in a carriage and traveling in a low-key manner, did not get out of the carriage after arriving at the destination. But under heavy protection, he sat in the carriage for a while, from a long distance.

Many people gathered in this square, most of them were invited or came to Dayan on the past. Although Wei Yue massacred many old ministers that day, they could not kill them in Wu alone. At this time, these people rushed to see the scene of the soldiers whipping Wei Yue's body with their own eyes.

At this time, some people couldn't help crying, and one of them shouted: "Wei Thief deserves to die!"

Someone else cried out: "Dayan Zhongxian, open your eyes and see what happened to this thief!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Hongyi in the carriage also sighed faintly.

What he sighed was not the Great Yan Dynasty, but actually he sighed at the body of Wei Yue who was whipped and cursed at this time.

If Wei Yue one day pacified the world, what would the history books say in a hundred years later?

This corpse is not true or false, but even if it is false, as long as everyone thinks it is true, it is enough. To whip the corpse of Wei Yue to avenge the Da Yan, it will win the hearts of the people. The cauldron roars and flow of luck continuously in.

Wang Hongyi couldn't help but be stunned. Suddenly he remembered something on earth. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Kangxi later visited Taizu's ancestral tomb, which calmed people's hearts. I didn't think it would be the same today.

"Go back!" After looking at it for a while, seeing the farce in front of him getting bigger and bigger, Wang Hongyi said lightly, he was no longer interested in this matter.

"No." Someone agreed. Under the protection of the imperial guards, the carriage turned around and quickly left here.

Chang'an, Qin Palace, and the main hall of the meeting.

Guo Wentong and all the civil officials and generals were discussing military affairs.

Some time ago, Wang Hongyi's 200,000 troops set out from Chu to attack Wu Yue. Hanzhong and Shangyong had a very strong defense, but Guo Wentong still did not give up when he took advantage of the chaos to invade a fire in the rear.

When Wang Hongyi was not the King of Chu, he mobilized a large army and threatened Qin under the scrutiny of the world, making him feel embarrassed and lost all his face. Although it was just a false alarm in the end, for Guo Wentong, this incident was an unforgettable and lingering humiliation.

With the increasing strength of Chu and the situation that Qin had just pacified, it was undoubtedly causing trouble to send troops to attack Chu and avenge the revenge of that day.

This does not mean that Guo Wentong has no choice but to Wang Hongyi. He is a prince, and although his strength is strong and weak, the gap is not so big that he cannot fight against it.

As long as Wang Hongyi's Chu army was held back by the Wu army in Wu, the morale of the army would be in chaos over time.

Even the defense like an iron barrel in the rear will inevitably have flaws, and it will be time to take advantage of the situation with the elite Qin army.

However, the development of the matter caught Guo Wentong off guard.

Wei Yue was destroyed like this, which made Guo Wentong quite depressed.

Continuously sending back information from Wu, all of which showed that the Chu army was unstoppable and the Wu army was defeated. How could he take advantage of the chaos?

However, two days ago, Guo Wentong received the military newspaper of Wu's retreating step by step, and he still held a wait-and-see attitude.

In Guo Wentong's view, the Wu army was not good, and with Wei Yue's foundation in Wu for many years, it would be no problem to stick to Jinling City for several months.

At this moment, Guo Wentong was waiting, and it was the situation where the Chu army was firmly dragged down!

"Why did any inquiries be sent back in Jinling City?" Guo Wentong swept over the officials in the hall expressionlessly, and fell on an official and asked.

This person is responsible for sorting out the scout's investigation.

"Your Majesty, there is no news from the direction of Jinling yet!" The officials hurriedly stepped out and reported to Guo Wentong.

"Is there no news yet?" Hearing this, Guo Wentong's eyebrows frowned slightly. He felt a little uneasy and anxious.

Logically speaking, the Wu and Chu army fought in Jinling, and the period when Wu was entangled was the most chaotic time, so the investigation was sent earlier. Why hasn't the news been sent back yet?

Now, it has been a whole few days since the previous investigation report was sent to him. Wang Hongyi's army should have trapped Jinling City at this time, but the scout investigation report was not at all informed!

"Is there a big change in Jinling City? There was news from the Wu army or the Chu army?" Guo Wentong thought to himself.

Just as Guo Wentong was thinking, an imperial guard came in outside the hall and fell to the ground: "The king, an emergency army has arrived."

"Let him come in." Guo Wentong said.

A moment later, an officer in charge of the scouts reported came in from outside. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his lord Guo Wentong sitting in the seat and looking at him. He knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"King, I just heard the news ahead that Jinling was captured by the Chu army eight days ago, and Wei Yue was dead. At this time, many of the prefectures and counties in Wu had surrendered to the King of Chu." The man said quickly.

After hearing this, Guo Wentong's face changed drastically: "What? The Chu army captured Jinling eight days ago?"

Walking fast in the hall, not only did the anger not dissipate, but became stronger and stronger. Finally, I couldn't bear it, and drew out my sword to attack the pillar, drinking: "Waste!"

Wei Yue, you are a hero. You have been in Wu for many years and are in charge of Jinling. You have been in the army for half your life. In just a few days, you were wiped out by the Chu army in one go!

On that day, Wang Hongyi's army attacked Jingzhou, but it was never so fast!

After several combos, the wood chips flew away. After a while, Guo Wentong calmed down.

No matter what the reason, the Chu army won the final victory. The situation in Wu must be stable after not much time. Under this circumstance, wouldn’t his various thoughts during this period be a joke?

"I just hope that all the prefectures and counties in Wu will try their best to consume Wang Hongyi's troops..." At this point, Guo Wentong can only sigh in his heart.

Kawaguchi-gun

Three thousand people in one capital are moving forward without any rush or slow down.

Most of them were infantry, spread out in marching arrays, with a piece of red armor and flags.

A big flag is flying, and under the banner, there are generals.

The army was moving steadily, following the flags one by one, in an orderly manner.

According to military law, at this time, we marched fifty miles a day, and because the requirements were not high, the march was so strict.

The general was full of energy and rode on the horse. He looked back and praised. Now the overall situation is settled. It is better to say that it is to show the majesty of the king's army than to say that it is to show the king's majesty.

Now that's right.

As we were moving forward, suddenly a horse was approaching us.

"Report! The Kawaguchi County in front is already open to the city gate. The city guards are all waiting outside the city gate. The flags on the top of the city have also been replaced by Chu flags. Depending on the situation, they are ready to surrender to our army!" After turning over and dismounting, kneeling to the ground, the scout said quickly.

"Haha, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and the guards here are not stupid." After hearing this, the general smiled immediately.

The deputy general nodded and said, "Yes, this person is very cognitive about the current affairs. General, let's go, let's take over this city now."

The two have encountered this happening many times and are not surprised.

The army accelerated and continued to move forward.

When I arrived outside the city, someone took the initiative to offer the city and submit.

The same is true for other counties.

Since Jinling was conquered by the Chu army, the counties and counties in Wu have surrendered without waiting for the arrival of the army. In just ten days, the south has been unified.

Jinling, in the mansion where Wang Hongyi temporarily lives.

In the large study in the back house, Wang Hongyi was sitting in front of the desk, looking through the good news that was constantly being delivered.

"King, most prefectures and counties in Wu have surrendered to the Chu army. In just ten days, Wu has been pacified. I am here to congratulate the king. The king has pacified half of the south." Zhang Youzhi said.

Wang Hongyi said, "Alas, although the south is pacified, the chaos in the north is still there, and the grasslands are in great strength every day, I am afraid that it will not be far from the day of the war."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Guo Wentong, the Qin territory, unified Qin, and his strength is not weak. Even if the barbarians invade the grassland, they must first pass the Qin territory, and the kings in the north. The same is true. At that time, the north will fight and the two sides will consume it, so why should they be afraid?" Zhang Youzhi did not care too much about the power of the grassland.

Wang Hongyi shook his head: "Zhang Qing, you don't know that the grassland is a big deal. It's just that the princes in the north consume their troops, but they just buy some time."

In his previous life, he had seen the bravery and good at fighting, good at cavalry fighting, good at advancing and retreating properly, and not afraid of death. Such an army was indeed a powerful soldier at that time.

Zhang Youzhi was slightly surprised to see that his lord attached such importance to the grassland cavalry.

"By the way, what are the actions of King Qin and King Wei?" Wang Hongyi asked.

"Your Majesty, I have made some moves some time ago, but since the capture of Jinling, there has been no movement." Zhang Youzhi said.

"They are well-informed. There are many fine works in various places in Wu. Let's pay close attention to this aspect and carry out some necessary cleaning."

"No." Zhang Youzhi responded and said again: "The six tribes have reached Jinling, and the imperial ships of the Empress Dowager and the Queen will also arrive tomorrow."

"The palace has been cleared, and the king can enter the palace."

Wang Hongyi responded and said, "Gu knows, please step back. Gu will welcome the Queen Mother and Queen tomorrow and move into the palace."

"Yes!" Zhang Youzhi responded and retreated.

Wang Hongyi leaned back and sighed. At this moment, before he could be surprised, he felt the tripod shaking violently. With a "boom", the tripod ignited suddenly. He saw it expanding several times, and the tripod surface was even more circling with dragons and tigers, full of mysterious symbols and sacred majesty.

In the expanded king's tripod, the lilac fortune quickly transformed into purple qi, and the original vitality on the top also turned into purple qi.

Almost at the same time, the pillar of dragon energy was thick and large, and it expanded several times violently.

In an instant, the sun and the moon emerged in the purple air. In just a moment, the original dragon turned into a red dragon.
