"Emperor Century" says: Yao capital Pingyang, "Yu Gong" divided the world into Jiuzhou, Pingyang is the land of Jizhou, Jizhou is located in the center of Jiuzhou, so it is called China, the word China comes from this, and when the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han were divided into Jin and Han

The capital was established in Pingyang.

This is an ancient city that has accompanied the Chinese nation all the way. However, when everyone passes by, there is a deathly silence. Except for the occasional giant rat that is frightened out of the rubble and scurries away, it is not buried at all and is mixed with the rubble.

The bones lying together are all reminders of the tragedy that happened in Pingyang nine years ago.

At that time, Liu Yao plundered more than 10,000 Pingyang ladies and all the wealth in the city and returned to Chang'an. The ordinary people were left behind. Later, Shi Le sent his army into Pingyang, but the people in the city were never mentioned. However, with the tragic scene in front of him,

Look, I'm afraid they've all been slaughtered.

Everyone was in a heavy heart, and Xun Guanniang and Yu Wenjun were even more so angry that their pretty faces turned blue with hatred. Even if they were to take people to Hebei as slaves, why would they slaughter the whole city? Of course, despite Yunfeng's many speculations,

, but the racial mentality of the Jie people, the lowest class of people who were hybridized by various tribes, and suddenly became the superior people, is not something that normal people can understand.

Unknowingly, following Liu Yueru's guidance, the group arrived near the Princess's Mansion. To be honest, Yunfeng couldn't recognize it at all. The original magnificent buildings had become exactly the same as other places in the city.

They are all ruins, and all traces have been wiped clean.

Everyone stood in a daze, and all lost their mood to talk. The howling north wind was like a sky filled with innocent souls accusing the Jie army of its atrocities!

Yu Wenjun looked at Liu Yueru and said hesitantly: "Sister Yueru, don't be sad. Shi Le's retribution will be next year. I heard that the general designed a way to die for him. It is very novel and will definitely be worthy of him.

He just refused to talk about his evil deeds. Forget it, Wenjun stopped asking. The more he asked, the more proud he became. He just hoped that Shi Le would not commit suicide!

Although Pingyang was destroyed, another one can be built in the future. The land here is fertile, bordering Leihuo to the east, Hefen to the west, Qin and Shu to the south, and Youbin to the north. The geographical location is extremely important, and it is close to the Yellow River and Fenshui River.

Tang Yao's old capital, as long as the city is restored, the people should be willing to move here, and it won't be long before it will be a prosperous city again!"

Liu Yueru forced a smile: "Wenjun, don't worry, my sister is fine. Let's go, there are rubbles everywhere here. There is no need to go in, let's seize the time to take a look at the Ancestral Temple before it gets dark.

"

According to Liu Yao's account, the generals he sent to welcome back Jin Ming and the ladies of Pingyang took the bodies of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong back to the Ancestral Temple, and then followed Liu Yueru forward.

But when they arrived at the Ancestral Temple, they were all shocked. They had already been mentally prepared to be reduced to rubble. The key point was that there were corpses everywhere on the ground, and there were no signs of spiritual tablets, so there was no way to tell them apart.

Because it is unreliable, there is no way around it.

It is said that Liu Cong was beheaded after being exhumed, and there were dozens of headless corpses in this area. Liu Yueru was stunned for a while, shook her head and said: "I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Speaking of which, my brother ended up like this because of his own mistake, which only caused his father to suffer. Yun Lang, do you have any way to identify it?"

"This..." Yunfeng was speechless. I'm afraid even the immortals wouldn't be able to recognize him when they came to earth, so they were trying to show off to him as a mortal? In fact, in Yunfeng's eyes, Liu Yuan and Liu Cong, father and son, had bloody hands and died.

This is their retribution. After tens or hundreds of years, they will be decomposed into molecules and atoms by nature and re-integrated into the great cycle of matter in the universe. This is their best destination.

Seeing Yunfeng's embarrassed look, Liu Yueru smiled bitterly and said, "I'm so abrupt. It's getting late. Let's find a cleaner place to rest early."

Although the girls wanted to persuade him, they didn't know where to start, so they all nodded silently and walked towards the depths of the palace.

The night passed like this. Early the next morning, the entire army marched out from Pingyang. It only took three days, that is, at noon on December 11, the troops arrived at the foot of Lu County. Lu County is located at the western foot of Taihang Mountain and the northeastern side of Shangdang Basin.

, the terrain is high in the west, low in the middle, and slightly higher in the east. The city was built according to the mountains on the edge of the valley. It is located high and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

This cavalry numbering in the tens of thousands fell from the sky, and the city was immediately thrown into panic. Some people shouted and ran, and some poured water on the city. It looked like it was caught off guard.

Judging from the defenders who appeared on the top of the city, the total number of Jie troops in the army would not exceed 10,000.

Yunfeng ignored it for the time being and led the entire army around the city, reining in their horses twenty miles northwest of Lu County. Since Lu County was mostly mountainous and hilly, his kind of hills were not as bare as those in Qin and Liang Prefectures.

The grassy hills are different, they all have trees.

There are also strange-shaped rocks sandwiched between them, which are not suitable for large-scale movements of cavalry. Therefore, Yunfeng ordered the entire army to occupy the hilly highlands on both sides of the valley entrance, and to dig earth and pile rocks to build forts in the valley that was not too obvious to stop Jie.

The main force of the army.

As for the Lu County behind, there is no need to worry about it. Even if the defenders want to cooperate inside and outside, they have to weigh whether they have enough meat. If it is not the middle of winter and the city walls are slippery, Yunfeng even wants to build some simple attacks.

City tools, before the main force of the Jie army arrives, attack this small city that is only two feet high in one go!

However, due to seasonal factors, this idea can only be thought about in peace of mind.

Under Yunfeng's order, the scouts had dispersed far away, and there were another 20,000 cavalry scattered around to serve as security guards. The rest of the sergeants all dismounted and dug out rocks, and piled up stone barriers according to the mountain topography. The scene was fiery.

.

It gets dark very early in winter. Judging from the sky, it has just arrived at Unity Time (five o'clock in the afternoon). The sky and the earth have already become dark. The sun's rapid retreat makes the little warmth dissipate in the blink of an eye, and the howling cold in the mountains disappears.

The wind goes straight into people's pores.

Since they did not bring a pot, the soldiers could only collect firewood to make a fire. While warming themselves, they skewered wheat cakes or dried meat on the fire with branches and roasted them carefully. Occasionally, they dug out hibernating animals such as rabbits and snakes.

It has also become their delicacy. Only the morning and evening meals can replenish warmth for their bodies. This is also the time when they are most comfortable.

"Look, it's coming!" Yu Wenjun, who was gnawing on the thigh of a rabbit, pointed forward fiercely. As the earth trembled slightly, a large, boundless black cloud swept over the ground with an extremely shocking momentum!

Murong Tuyan and his soldiers almost stood up from the ground and looked forward. Everyone's face was full of nervousness. This was very different from the capture of Puban Pass a few days ago, when the Qin army

There are kerosene bombs and crossbows, and the number of people is 120,000 to 30,000. But now, there is nothing except bows and crossbows. In terms of equipment, they do not have an advantage over the Jie army. What's more terrible is that the Jie army has 100,000 people.

People, but I only have less than 60,000!

Yunfeng noticed the earthy color on Murong Tuyan's face, waved his hand and said: "Marquis Guiyi, please tell the soldiers to go back to their original positions. The night is extremely cold and the vision is unclear. The Jie army will never dare to invade, and there is Tuoba behind them."

The pursuer had to worry about being cut off by our army, so he would have to run all the way. After these few days, he was already exhausted, and he also needed sufficient rest before he could attack with his army.

Our army has a favorable location. Even if it has a hundred thousand people, what can it do? Even if they jump over the wall in a hurry, they will only die if they rush up. If you look carefully, they have no baggage and vehicles, and the supply of food and grass is a big problem. If you are alone,

As expected, it can only last for three to five days at most. When the time comes, they will be anxious. They may not be able to make a strong attack several times, or their morale may be scattered, or they may even collapse without a fight!"

Murong Tuyan took a closer look, and sure enough, the Jie army looked disheveled, with tired faces. They looked over in disbelief. Some even looked at the blocking fortifications they were building, and showed signs of sluggishness, fear, despair, etc.

negative expression!

Murong Tuyan couldn't help but blush slightly, and said sarcastically: "What the King of Qin said is true, but I was frightened by the Jie people."

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Come on, we have to eat when we need to eat and drink when we need to drink. Let's hold him off for a few days until the follow-up troops and the Tuoba clan arrive. When they arrive, we will surround them and forgive him for interrupting."

Even if you lose your wings, you won’t be able to fly back to Dangsan Pass!”

Murong Tuyan nodded. Yunfeng's analysis greatly increased his confidence, and his appetite was completely restored. He grabbed the half-baked wheat cake and stuffed it into his mouth!

The late arrival of Shanshan from the Jie Army did not have much impact except causing a momentary commotion for the Qin Army. However, everyone in the Jie Army was greatly shocked and dumbfounded, and the horse speed was also unconscious.

Gradually slow down.

The leader of the Jie army is named Taobao. He was one of the eighteen cavalrymen who followed Shi Le in raising troops. He was loyal and trusted by Shi Le. He was also wise and brave. He fought against Zu Ti in Huaibei and Henan for a long time. Although there were victories and defeats at times,

But he was not at an overwhelming disadvantage. He came from Shiyan Pass and was appointed by Shi Le to command the entire army.

"Hey!" Seeing the fireworks and layers of stone barriers in the mountains and forests ahead, Taobao reined in his horse fiercely and waved his hand to stop the entire army. He couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "Where did the Qin army come from? How did the Qin army come from?

Will it strangle Lu County? Could it be that Pu Ban has been lost?"

The generals also had expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces. Although there were only 30,000 defenders in Puban, they expected that holding on for three to five days would not be a problem, and they would be able to secure enough for their retreat to Shangdang Pass.

time, but unexpectedly, the Qin army would miraculously appear. This also shows that the fall of Puban is a certainty and cannot be doubted!

Shi Cong, who was originally a general of the Jin Dynasty, was later adopted as a subordinate after surrendering to Shi Le, and was given the surname Shi. He quickly raised his hand and said: "General, our army is being pursued by the Tuoba tribe behind us, and the Qin army is blocking the way in front. The situation is not good.

Ji, according to the general's observation, the Qin army should have just arrived here. You see, he has many stone fortifications that have not been completed. The general thought that while the Qin army is not yet stable, he should attack immediately, otherwise, he will wait for his arrangements

Completely, I’m afraid it will take a lot of effort!”

Taobao showed an obvious sign of struggle. It’s not that he didn’t understand the principle of working hard. When he saw that he was about to go home safely, he found that his door was blocked. Anyone would feel depressed. As long as he was properly encouraged,

, will turn this depression into fighting spirit. However, when he turned around and saw the tired faces of all the soldiers in the army, and the increasingly dark sky, he understood that attacking by force would only lead to death in vain.
Chapter completed!
