Conquer the World

Chapter 496: Kill me, kill me!

There is no winter in Jiangnan, and the flowers bloom in all seasons. The imperial capital, Chang'an City, has also warmed up in February, and the willows are green in April and the flowers are red in April.But in the northwest part of the country, the wind didn't become so sad in March. In April, grass was drilled out of the ground, and in May, it was barely able to take off the thick cotton coat.

The grain in Jiangnan and Jiangbei is two seasons a year, and the land in the northwest is one season a year.The Central Plains were ripened in June, and the northwest had just arrived sowing season.

It was early June, when it was rainy in Jiangnan.

Northwest also rained for the first time this year. The rain was not very heavy but just barely wet the land, so it did not affect the fighting between the two sides.Although the court troops were slightly less in strength, they had maintained a high fighting spirit. Since Luoshui, they have only attacked and continued to attack.

Although Li Yuanshan ordered the strict sealing of the news that the Mongolian Yuanmen and Gao Kaitai jointly defeated the left forward, it is said that good things do not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. This news cannot be sealed at all. As a result, the rebel camp is even more panic-stricken. .The people of the law enforcement team killed two days in a row, and cut off hundreds of soldiers who spread the news privately but it was useless.The more he cuts like this, the more the soldiers believe that this is true.

In order to prevent the spread of this decadent trend, Li Yuanshan ordered the mobilization of nearly 40,000 soldiers from the three armies to attack the imperial army barracks. The imperial army did not even defend, but took the initiative to face the battle.The general Jin Shixiong personally commanded, and the brave and brave brave men pressed the rebels with low morale into their mind. Jin Shixiong took the opportunity to go straight and stuck behind the rebels and hunted down for more than ten miles in one breath. The soldiers were recruited until they were killed under Xiping City.

In this battle, the rebels actually lost 80% of their troops, 40% of them were killed and captured, and 40% fled on their own.

This was the beginning. From this day on, soldiers fled every day in the rebel camp. At first, there were a few people, then dozens, hundreds, and even two Zhuangchong battalions on patrol. The opportunity escaped.Immediately after another unfavorable news began to spread, it was said that the imperial naval division had landed on the shore and delivered at least half a million reinforcements. Luo Yaobing returned to the south of Mangdang Mountain and lost most of his troops.

As soon as the news came out, it covered the already fragile heart of the rebel soldiers like crazy wild grass. They began to count the days of their death.If the 500,000 reinforcements are true, it will take more than a month from crossing the river to Xiping City for a nonstop stop. Many rebel soldiers are thinking that if they do not escape, their lives will be only 30 to 40. It's day.

Li Yuanshan knew that the so-called imperial court's deployment of half a million troops must be false, because the imperial court could not mobilize so many soldiers and horses.The imperial navy has been patrolling back and forth from Luoshui to the Yangtze River. Now it seems that its purpose is to prevent Luo Yao from taking the opportunity to cross the river to the east. What can hide his eyes.

Li Yuanshan also knew that the fake news must have been spread by Emperor Yang Yi.This kind of news is sometimes more lethal than cutting it directly with a knife. A knife can kill at most one person, but a fake news can make hundreds of thousands of people panic.

At this moment, Li Yuanshan had to admit that he really underestimated Yang Yi.

An emperor who is so versatile as to be able to join forces with the Meng Yuan people has given up all emperors who are afraid of all the obstacles, which is undoubtedly terrible.He no longer cares about the name behind him, what are he afraid of?

It was at this time that Li Yuanshan realized that his situation had really reached Linyuan.The saddest thing is that not only is the abyss in front, but also in the back.

In just a few days, Li Yuanshan seemed to be ten years old.

Since the beginning, he has never doubted that he cannot turn his dream of turning his family into a country into reality.In the past three years, he feels that he is moving towards success every day.When he became king himself, how many men persuaded him to take advantage of the victory or go east or south, and the northwest is not a place to raise soldiers for a long time.But he firmly followed his own plan and never wavered. Now, he finally regrets it.

He knows that the Northwest is tired and the Central Plains is prosperous.

The reason why he did not enter the army was that he wanted to set the overall situation in the northwest.As long as the emperor is forced to conquer this desolate land, the splendid Jiangshan of the Central Plains will be destroyed by war as little as possible.What he wants is the entire empire, not a corner. The tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in his eyes are his things, and he is reluctant to destroy them.But this dream finally arrived when it was about to break up.

Li Yuanshan always believed that the Yang family owed them to the Li family and owed too much.In the Taizong period, Li Xiao led his soldiers to capture more than half of the current Sui territory. This kind of achievement has no predecessors and no comers. The Yang family with unlimited scenery was held by Li Xiao. Without Li Xiao, this empire would not be like this powerful.

But later, in order to prevent Li Xiaogong and Gao Zhen from holding the soldiers' own weight, the emperor sent him to the bitter cold and barren land in the northwest.Not only that, after depriving Li Xiao of most of his military power, two other guard soldiers were stationed to monitor the Li family, always guarding against Li Xiao's dissent.

Few people know that Li Xiao raised his head and sighed in his later years, regretting that he had made so much credit for the Great Sui, so that his descendants would be implicated.

Li Yuanshan hated, hated from beginning to end.

Why should Yang's family treat him like this?

Since half of the world of Da Sui was beaten by the Li family, why can't the Li family get it back?

Standing on the walls of Xiping City, Li Yuanshan watched the battlefield outside the city silently.

Or wind and sand into the eyes, it was actually tears.

...

...

In June, Li Yuanshan issued 16 consecutive orders to reunite Meng Meng and Yin Poshan to come to Xiping City, but these sixteen military orders were sent out as if there were no sound, let alone Meng Meng and Yin Poshan did not come. , Even the one who sent the military order did not come back.

Tens of thousands of people admire when they are proud, and push down the wall when they are frustrated.

After hesitating for a few days, Li Yuanshan finally made up his mind.

It can no longer be consumed in this way. The soldiers in the city are all his cronies. Although the people are uncertain, at least they still maintain military discipline.A large number of soldiers flee every day since these days. The generals began to plan their way back, and there was still the mind to restrain their subordinates.If this continues, there will be no need for the imperial army to continue the offensive. Those rumors will defeat Li Yuanshan, and there will be no end to it.

Day 28 of the 15th year of the Great Sui Tianyou. On this day, Li Yuanshan became king in Xiping City.

He announced the founding of the National Congress, the capital of Xiping, and the founding of Wanyuan.

In the county gate of Xiping City, Li Yuanshan, who was dressed in a dragon robe, was a group of ministers.Li Xiaoche is the prince, Song Qian will be the prime minister, and Zhou Dingguo Wan Yansong is the general of Zhu Guo.Rebel generals and civilians outside the city all have awards, and only a dozen senior officials have sealed a dozen, and hundreds of second- and third-rank officials.Suddenly, an emperor, dozens of princes, hundreds of marquises and countless generals were suddenly born in the city.

After Li Yuanshan ascended the throne, he began to designate a place for his people to eat.Some people were sealed in the Jiangnan water town, and some people were sealed in the northeast near the sea. In short, they are all rich and prosperous places.But everyone also knows that they probably do n’t have a chance to visit their own land in their lifetime.

Because he had no plans before, the emperor Xiping's enthronement ceremony was ridiculously simple.Li Yuanshan's dragon robe is still his black embroidered dragon king robe, and temporarily let people sew some yellow satin on the collar cuffs.It was Li Yuanshan's long-term idea to decide the country's big week, because Li Xiao's title was Zhou Guogong 100 years ago.Because the number of civil servants could not be matched, he had to arrange for the bodyguard to pretend to be in the costume of the above men.Because there is no jade seal, the seal affixed to the hundreds of wills promulgated by Emperor Li Yuanshan of the Great Zhou Dynasty was carved with a piece of city brick.

Imagine that the founding emperor of Dazhou held a city brick and covered it up and down seriously and soberly on the so-called decree, which is also very interesting.

As for the officials who were segregated, it did n’t matter if they did n’t have the right uniforms, and nobody cares anyway. Even the emperor ’s dragon robes are so good that they ca n’t make it?

That night, the Emperor Dazhou guarded the Yamen in the county ... No, it was a feast in the Dazhou Palace. Because the grain in the city was limited, there were only two meat dishes on each table. The main course.A group of old men from Guogong County sat on the table and smiled as they watched the food.

Of course, this is not the most blocking thing for them. During the meal, His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor made people read out dozens of wills, giving him the title of emperor from his father's back to Li Xiao, especially It was Li Xiao. The posthumous title had sixty-four characters. I did n’t know how much hair the man who thought of these words had lost his hair before putting it together.Then the purpose was for the descendants of the Li family. Li Yuanshan sealed over a dozen princes and more than 30 princes in one breath, and the princes of Guogong County in the county gate immediately eclipsed.

Everyone had their heads down, and there was no joy on their faces.

but

Li Yuanshan did not seem to be affected.

He sat on a high platform that was set up temporarily, held up his wine glasses for generous speeches, recalling the past and looking forward to the future.For a half hour, the pork and cabbage were already cold, he hadn't finished speaking. The hands holding the wine glasses in the following hundred officials were sore.

Li Yuanshan has been laughing, looking really happy.

The banquet didn't end until the end of the day, and the emperor Da Zhou, who was full of fun, was helped by the inner servant and returned to the "sleeping palace" to rest.Crown Prince Li Xiaoche followed, walking with his head hanging down, he didn't seem to want people to see the awkward look on his face.

Back at the residence, Li Xiaoche served Li Yuanshan to take off his clothes and put on a quilt.Looking at this drunk man with unconsciousness, this father who once regarded as a whole sky, Li Xiaoche's mouth was bitter in his heart.He knew how ridiculous his father ’s decision was, and how ridiculous this so-called enthronement ceremony was.But from beginning to end he tried to make himself look more solemn, just to comfort his father's broken heart.

emperor……

The father eventually became the emperor, which is enough, isn't it?

Li Xiaozong stood by the bed and stared at Li Yuanshan for a long, long time, and his heart felt like a knife was hurting.

I don't know how long it stood like this, Li Xiaoche sighed long before leaving.As he walked to the door, he suddenly heard a low sob from behind.He turned back sharply, but found that his father was lying on the bed, although his eyes were closed, but the tears could not stop flowing.

Li Xiaoche walked back quickly, opened his mouth but couldn't find language comfort.

"Cher ..."

"father"

"I owe you a crown prince for your father, and I will return it to you."

Li Yuanshan murmured, Li Xiaoche could not tell whether he was awake or drunk.

"The people of the Li family ... The people of the Li family will never admit defeat!"

Li Yuanshan suddenly stretched out his arms and waved, his fists clenched so tightly: "This is just the beginning ... just the beginning! Sooner or later I will sit on the Kowloon Golden Chair of the Taiji Temple in Chang'an City, see who ... who dares Sarcasm! Who dares to laugh at me, who dares to block me, I kill! I kill! I kill!
