"There are 300,000 people in the capital, but I'm afraid there won't be enough of them by then." The crow muttered.
"Shut your crow mouth! If this money can buy back the hearts and minds of the people of Zhou Dynasty, I, Guo Wen, can give it to you for free!"
"I don't have to!" Young Tan Shuo is also one of the few people who can stay calm in front of gold and silver.
"I heard that people from Hanjian Villa confiscated the more valuable pearls and jade treasures in the inner treasury. We can't let them laugh. Hurry up and count the money!" Li Zeping's face turned red and he began to count the gold coins one by one in a decent manner.
Ingots.
Gong Ji, who had a big abacus, said anxiously: "Li Laosan, are you counting to the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? Packing and weighing! More than two hundred of us will do it together, and we will have a result soon!"
"Okay! Even if you can't get the gold, I will be happy to ask you to move the gold!" the crow cried. Most of the horse bandits who followed He Qizhou and fought all the way had the same idea. In fact, everyone had already figured out He Qizhou's nature.
I will not treat my brothers badly, and I will definitely treat the people well.
…
"We don't have much time left. Why don't we pack all the gold, silver and jewels back to Baicheng? If the people can keep up, we can't do anything." Yu Wen Lingyun stood on the south gate tower and looked out into the distance.
The mountains in the south said with some sadness. Just after receiving the news of the reconnaissance cavalry, Helian Qingfeng's 80,000 cavalry suddenly appeared dozens of miles north of Yehu Ridge. The 20,000 vanguards were only two meters away from Qingcheng at most.
Day’s journey!
"Only those young men who can ride horses can keep up. Brother Yuwen, if these people leave with us, what will happen to their families? What will happen to the wounded who helped us attack the city? We can't just leave like this!" He Qizhou gritted his teeth and said.
"How about we mobilize the surrendered enemy troops to defend the city together. Anyway, there is no shortage of food in the capital." Helian Qingqing came up with an idea.
He Qizhou immediately retorted:
"No, Helian Qingfeng has been in charge of Qingcheng for twenty years, and there are far more people who regard him as the legitimate emperor than in other parts of the Zhou Dynasty;
Among the more than 20,000 enemy troops who surrendered, we have no idea how many of them surrendered sincerely and how many of them were just trying to save their lives? I estimate that there must be many people from Qinglong Temple and Tianlong Sect among them. If we are surrounded, some of them will
There will definitely be many people who will fight back, and I don’t want to take the risk. Alas, it’s a pity that I don’t have time to identify them now;
Another point is that we have too few people to defend such a large city. We are trapped in the city and cannot even take advantage of the cavalry. Defending the city is definitely the next best option!"
Yuwen Lingyun nodded and said: "I have thought about these, so I can only take away the spearmen who have helped us and the dead soldiers called by Yan Wuji. At most, we can take some civilians with us and set off now! As for the others
, we can only save it later when we are really strong."
"Brother Yuwen, you are right. The people who should be saved will be saved, and the money that should be robbed will be robbed. With the money from Qingcheng's treasury, Baicheng will soon grow stronger. But if we escape with people and property, we will not leave.
When we reach the Bohai Sea, we will be overtaken by pursuers. I was thinking..." He Qizhou pondered.
"You want to fight again? Seven thousand versus eighty thousand?" Helian Qingqing said in shock.
"Well! I want to reenact the victory of Cullen City!" He Qizhou said.
"It's a bit difficult." Yuwen Lingyun sighed.
He Qizhou said: "Our current goal has only been half accomplished. Helian Qingfeng still has more than 100,000 troops trapped in Shanhaiguan. If we can break through the 80,000 people who came to help, we can threaten Yanjing City. If Helian Qingfeng loses
Once he reaches Yanjing City, there will really be nothing to eat. As long as he returns to defend Yanjing, the siege of Shanhaiguan will be in vain. I think Shanhaiguan will be able to relax. Helian Qingfeng will organize a campaign of this scale again.
I don’t know how many more years it will take to launch a strong attack, and there will never even be a chance to launch an attack again!”
"But we will be surrounded by his army of more than 100,000 people, and it is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated! I'm worried..." Yuwen Lingyun frowned.
"I'm also worried that brothers won't dare to go, but this battle is really important!" He Qizhou seemed to have made up his mind and continued: "I want to organize another army to escort Qingcheng's property and the people we must save.
Go to Baicheng; as long as the blizzard kills these reinforcements, they will not be able to quickly organize people and horses to chase the people who fled to Baicheng. After winning, we will directly cross the Taihang and Yanshan lines, threatening Helian Qingfeng's foundation in northern Hebei - Yan
Capital City!”
"I don't agree. There's no chance of victory! We can't let our brothers die!" Yuwen Lingyun, as the deputy commander, raised objections for the first time.
He Qizhou said: "Brother Yuwen, I haven't finished yet. The threat to Yanjing is false. The purpose is just to make Helian Qingfeng withdraw from the siege of Shanhaiguan and confuse the Qi State. My next plan is even bolder! I still need to explain
I'm out of trouble with Tuyuhun! I'm going to march to Luoyang!"
"What?!" Yuwen Lingyun and Helian Qingqing screamed at the same time, thinking that they heard what He Qizhou said wrongly.
"Since we can fight from Beihai to Qingcheng, why can't we take advantage of the empty defense in Qi's hinterland to fight from Qingcheng to Luoyang?" He Qizhou's eyes began to shine and he said:
"I know the true strength of the Qi army! After Jiang Shan takes away all the elites, no one can stop us from going south. As long as we defeat the 80,000 people outside Yehu Ridge, the road ahead will be smooth! Let Jiang Shan and
Just like Helian Qingfeng, he lost all his fighting opportunities while running exhausted!"
"We are better at speed. Now that the river ice has not melted, it is indeed a good time to go south, but how can you make everyone willingly leave their homeland to fight for Southern Qi?" Yuwen Lingyun said worriedly.
"Fooling!"
"What?"
"No, no, what I mean is to express emotions and reason. Now call everyone to gather in the imperial city to see how many people are willing to follow us!"
"Okay!" Yuwen Lingyun and Helian Qingqing responded in unison.
…
"Brothers, the property confiscated from the palace warehouse, corrupt officials in the capital, and those who fled into the capital is roughly estimated to be 60 million taels. I have discussed it with Princess Qingqing, and your salary can be doubled!
But now we will encounter a problem. In addition to emptying the warehouses, we also have to take away 30,000 people from Qingcheng. At this time, 80,000 enemy troops have crossed Yehuling and can reach Qingcheng in two days.
, it will take less than ten days to catch up with us, and by then it is very likely that we will end up trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket;
You may be asking, why are so many people taken away? I want to ask you here, you have joined Blizzard to resist Helian Qingfeng’s tyranny, who is willing to leave his family in an area controlled by the enemy?
Therefore, we cannot leave behind the surrendered soldiers and their families! Only in this way will our team grow stronger and stronger! Only then will we truly defeat Helian Qingfeng! Only then will our families be able to graze and farm under the blue sky with peace of mind!
In order to protect these properties and the people who helped us, I decided to take the initiative while the enemy's foothold was not stable! Then I immediately killed Yanshan and went straight to the more prosperous Luoyang! There is no one to defend there now. As long as I defeat the enemy in front of me,
The road ahead will be smooth! In addition: From now on, the monthly salary will be increased to three hundred taels!"
In the square in front of the south gate of the Imperial City, more than 6,000 people lined up neatly. Listening to He Qizhou's loud instructions, almost no one made a sound. A total of more than 600 people were lost in the attack on the Imperial City, but after a new round of reinforcements, at this time
The number of people is close to 8,000. Except for some people who are maintaining order in the city, most of them are standing here.
He Qizhou continued: "I don't deny that this will be the most difficult battle we have ever encountered! If someone is killed, the salary and pension will be sent to your family or a designated person. Now I can give you another chance to choose.
, First, follow me to kill the invading enemy troops and drink from the Yellow River! Second, exit the blizzard and follow Princess Qingqing to escort the people and treasures back to Baicheng via the Bohai Sea! You can have a stick of incense and think about it."
"I'll go to Luoyang with you!" Helian Qingqing, who was beside He Qizhou, was a little surprised and protested loudly!
"No, there may be people from Qinglong Temple among the people going to Baicheng. You are a majestic princess, and the people all regard the royal family as orthodox. With you here, the team will not be chaotic, and I will also let Yan Wuji and other veterans go with you!
"He Qizhou persuaded without any explanation.
Helian Qingqing knew that his burden was not light, so he stopped arguing. However, the Blizzard soldiers arrayed in the square were already discussing. One against ten, they were facing the main force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This made most people feel unconfident!
…
"The time is up. Those who are ready to go back to Baicheng, please go out of the queue to the west. Don't worry, I won't blame you at all. If everyone wants to go to Baicheng, I won't let a few people attack the Northern Zhou army. We will think of other countermeasures!
"He Qizhou said frankly.
A very small number of people began to slowly leave the queue, mostly newcomers, making the entire team look a little loose.
"The world is so big, I want to go to Luoyang!" Suddenly someone shouted!
"Master, it's Ling Su!" Luo Yu, who was helping He Qizhou carry the gun, immediately recognized who was calling.
"I really didn't arrange it." He Qizhou looked at Yuwen Lingfeng and Helian Qingqing beside him, his face was slightly hot, because they were looking at him in unison.
After a brief silence at the fingertips, all kinds of cries broke out: "I'm going too!" "Drinking horses from the Yellow River!" "Going to the Qi Palace to spend the night!" "Kill!"
…
"Originally, I refused to marry Helian Qingfeng even if I was dead, but the emperor's brother threatened me with my mother and concubine. If I didn't agree, he, he would send my mother and concubine to the prison..." In the palace, Jiang Xing looked hateful.
cried lustfully.
"Sure enough, he is an inhumane guy again, ugh——" The swelling on Yan Wuji's head had faded, and he started chatting with Jiang Xing wordlessly.
"Let's go to Luoyang to rescue Concubine Yun!" He Qizhou, who happened to arrive just in time, stepped into the dormitory and said to Yan Wuji: "Master Yan, I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter? But it doesn't matter." Yan Wuji sat up from the dragon bed. The high-spirited man in front of him looked very much like the all-powerful princess back then. This chapter has been completed!
