Chapter 65 Wu'an County King
Chen Qingzhi used practical actions to make the wise kings understand what it means to be an innate great master.
The city wall with a history of more than 200 years is covered with deep and shallow knife marks. The deepest part is estimated to be two to three feet deep. It is hard to believe that this is just the result of one person and one knife.
The nearly frightened kings left and right, under the protection of the guards around them, fled the tower that had made them feel uneasy.
Today, Baht Lou Quyi has no intention of bargaining. He just wants to open the city gate as soon as possible, for fear that if it is too late, the ruthless man outside the city will blow open the city wall.
When the time comes, let alone dedicating the city, you will be lucky if your head is not cut off and used as a drinking vessel.
Under the surprised gaze of the white-robed grandmaster, the closed gate of Beirong City suddenly opened, and a rough man in a gorgeous fur robe rolled out and ran out.
"I am Lou Quyi, Zuoxian King of the Rong Kingdom. On behalf of the Rong King, I am willing to surrender to the great emperor!"
Lest Chen Qingzhi misunderstand his meaning, from the very beginning, Lou Quyi raised his hands high to show that he did not carry any weapons.
"King Zuoxian of the Beirong people?"
Withdrawing the sharp sword that was ready to go, Chen Qingzhi was a little confused about the opponent's intentions.
How can anyone rush to surrender the city before attacking it?
There must be some fraud in it!
"Yes, what are your orders, sir?"
Baht Lou Quyi was very worried, fearing that the other party would be dissatisfied, so he chopped himself into pieces with one knife.
"How do I know whether your Excellency is deliberately pretending to surrender?"
Chen Qingzhi squinted his eyes slightly and slowly stretched his hand towards the handle of Beixuan Sword.
"Grand Master, have mercy on me, Grand Master, have mercy on me!"
"You can find any Beirong person to prove Xiao Wang's innocence!"
Chen Qingzhi showed just a little bit of momentum, but Lou Quyi was already kneeling on the ground in a hurry, trying hard to prove his innocence.
Seeing Lou Quyi shivering and showing fear on his face, Chen Qingzhi was already convinced.
However, out of caution, he still insisted on waiting until he met up with the large army and found a traitor to confirm the identity of King Zuo Xian.
Chen Qingzhi had just led 20,000 infantry to take over the defenses of the royal city.
An accident occurred during this period. The palace, which was under heavy guard and where the Queen and the young King Beirong were detained, suddenly burst into flames.
When the soldiers put out the fire, there were only a few burnt corpses left in the palace.
Only by vaguely relying on the fineness of the fabric and the size of the body, I could barely tell that they were two noble people and several guards.
However, the golden sword and royal seal that represent the identity of King Beirong are now kept in the hands of Zhuan Lou Quyi. Without these things that symbolize the identity, even if the little King of Beirong returns as king in the future, the court can refuse to recognize it.
You said you were the King of Beirong, show some evidence. I also said that I was also the King of Beirong!
…
Two months later, this royal city, which symbolized the glory of Beirong for two hundred years, finally turned into dust with a roar.
In addition to demolishing this century-old city that took more than 100,000 Nanshuo slaves to build, Chen Qingzhi also prepared three sacrifices on the way back and laid stones on Mangcang Mountain to commemorate Dashuo's heroic feat of conquering the enemy in the Northern Expedition.
Since then, the military disasters that plagued the northern region of Shuo Kingdom for hundreds of years have completely become history.
During this period, Chen Qingzhi also went out quietly once, taking only a guide and not telling anyone where he was going.
The personal guards only knew that their Lord Marquis was seriously injured when he returned, and even the accompanying guide was missing.
What else in this world can hurt a great master?
Although full of doubts, those who can become Chen Qingzhi's personal guards are naturally those who have been tested over the years and are worthy of trust.
These people are more like retainers of Yongyi Hou Mansion than personal guards.
They will not reveal Chen Qingzhi's secret until they die.
…
The summer of the 16th year of Changping.
The 600,000-strong army of Quanrong went to the north, but only about 400,000 were left when the army returned to the court.
In addition to some who died in battle, many died of acclimatization, and many did not survive the freezing temperatures of winter.
Chen Qingzhi accomplished the feat of destroying the country, but behind it, many families lost their pillars and many brides lost their husbands.
I'm afraid there is nothing better than this for one general's success and ten thousand bones withered.
Of course, such efforts were not without rewards, with more than 800,000 Beirong civilians captured, more than 300,000 cavalry, and countless cattle and sheep.
In addition to the queen who did not know whether she was alive or dead, there were also King Beirong, Taishi Benyashili, King Youxian and King Guli, as well as the nobles and nobles living in the royal city. They were all escorted back to Yanjing, the capital, in batches by Chen Qingzhi.
All adult men were sent to dig mountains and build roads, while their wives and daughters served as concubines and maidservants as the heroes of the war.
To those small tribes that had previously taken refuge in Shuo, Emperor Changping naturally followed his promise and granted them large areas of fertile pasture.
It’s just a little cautious!
Emperor Changping ennobled more than 20 grassland kings in one breath, each occupying several fertile pastures, and there was more or less overlap between them.
No one wants to have a hole in their fiefdom. As a result, the grasslands will continue to have large and small battles all year round, completely cutting off the possibility of invading the Central Plains.
As for the biggest contributor to this battle, Emperor Changping, who had always been at odds with Chen Qingzhi in the past, actually made a decision that went against his ancestors and made a decision against his ancestors - to be crowned king!
Confer Chen Qingzhi the title of Prince of Wu'an County!
The land of a province was granted to him as a state, and he was hereditary. He added nine tins, crowned him with nine feathers, and gave him a fake festival ax.
Although he is called a county prince, he actually has more power than most princes!
After all, the contribution of destroying a country was so great that if Chen Qingzhi did not make him king, the court would not know how to reward others.
Moreover, Chen Qingzhi's fiefdom is not just an ordinary province, but Yan Province, which is second only to Jiangnan in terms of wealth. Now it has been renamed Wu'an County.
Of course, there is one bad thing about this territory, that is, the west side is close to Qian Country.
Whenever any war breaks out, he will be the first to suffer the consequences.
Chen Qingzhi, the innate great master, was fine at the time, but once he passes away a hundred years later, this land will be in chaos, and it will depend on whether future generations can maintain the wealth and honor.
Seeing Emperor Changping's sinister intentions, Chen Qingzhi's solution to this problem was simple.
In the autumn of the 31st year of Changping, the king of Wu'an County led 900,000 troops to attack Qian. After another eight years, Qian was destroyed, and his clan was taken and returned to Yanjing.
As long as the Qian Kingdom is gone, Wu'an County will naturally no longer be an enclave sandwiched between the two countries.
Pretty simple question, isn't it?
…
[At the age of 138, you have a premonition that your end is approaching. As an innate master who enjoyed two years of life, your wife and children have left you one after another. There is no one or thing in this world worthy of your nostalgia, because you practice the magic of Changchun to live forever.
Because of this, you died without any illness.]
