C972 Conquer the Great Dragon City(part I)
After Piao Wang was taken in by Lee Yang, he immediately turned his horse around and rushed towards Great Dragon City.
Both sides were scheming.
Piao Wang, who had escaped from the Great Dragon City, had made up his mind to meet Lee Yang in the Da Di City. He couldn't count on Yuwen Cangji anymore. He could only place all his hopes on Lee Yang.
Submitting to Lee Yang was a matter that had been decided from the beginning. Piao Wang had designed many excuses and escape routes for himself, but he didn't expect Lee Yang to be so generous. Lee Yang had given him an irresistible condition.
He would personally lead Great Dragon City.
Piao Wang wasn't a person who was greedy for power. He just wanted to make the people of Great Dragon City suffer less.
It had been three years. This battle had lasted for three years. The people of Great Dragon City had suffered a lot, but Yuwen Cangji, that idiot, was still unwilling to let go. Piao Wang could no longer hold on, and the people of Great Dragon City could no longer hold on. If this continued, the entire Great Dragon City would become a dead city.
This was not the result Piao Wang wanted. Great Dragon City was his hometown. It was the place where he had spent all his life's effort. He couldn't just watch the Great Dragon City turn into a ruined ghost city. Since Yuwen Cangji wasn't willing to admit defeat, he would make himself the final candidate to defeat him.
As long as he could save the people of Great Dragon City, what was the point of personal honor and humiliation?
This was the integrity of a famous commander, and the charm of a famous commander.
When he saw Zhao Gao asking the three armies to welcome him, Piao Wang's eyes were filled with tears.
He was worried that the other general would not give up all his military power. As the saying went, a general would not receive an order from an outside army. Furthermore, Great Dragon City was about to be attacked. This was a huge contribution. However, judging from the current situation, Zhao Gao did not care about this contribution at all. His stance was enough to express his attitude.
Piao Wang walked over and held Zhao Gao's hand tightly.
"On behalf of the people of Great Dragon City, I thank General Zhao for his benevolence." Piao Wang said from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Gao said, "Don't thank me, you have to thank the Emperor."
Piao Wang nodded his head repeatedly, "Yes, thank the Emperor."
"General Piao has worked hard on this journey, let's take a break and eat something first. Great Dragon City is already the fat meat in the mouth, we can eat it anytime, there's no need to rush." Zhao Gao said with a smile.
Piao Wang said, "No, no, no. We can wait, but the people of Great Dragon City can't wait anymore. There was no food in the city. If this continued, people would eat people. General Zhao, I have a presumptuous request."
Zhao Gao laughed loudly and handed the general seal to Piao Wang.
"General Pu, from now on, you are the highest general in the expedition army, and I am your deputy. You have the final say in everything you want to do. Even if you ask me to withdraw now, I will follow your orders without hesitation."
Piao Wang's eyes were moist. He could not express the excitement in his heart. He could only clench Zhao Gao's hand even harder.
After the two of them exchanged some work, Piao Wang came to the front of the army and began to make his declaration of appointment.
Ever since he received the Imperial Emperor's Imperial Decree, Zhao Gao had already started to work on political thinking. Although Piao Wang was a famous marshal, he was still fighting with them previously. He did not know how many comrades had died under Piao Wang's hands. Now that they had to listen to his orders, the soldiers more or less had some objections.
Fortunately, the soldiers of Da Di City had very high military attainment. Although there were some unhappiness and anger in their hearts, they still chose to obey. Piao Wang looked at the soldiers and sighed with emotion.
With such an army, Da Di City could really sweep away Liu He.
The Great Dragon City did not lose unjustly, but he did not lose unjustly.
His speech didn't last long, and ended very quickly. The content of the entire speech was actually very simple, and that was, the war was about to end, and everyone could go back.
As a famous commander, Piao Wang naturally had his own technique to control his subordinates. Especially conquering these unruly soldiers, he was quite good at it. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had established his tall and mighty image. This kind of skill even amazed Zhao Gao.
"I wonder if I should take him as my master." Zhao Gao stroked his chin and said.
"Take him as my master? Don't tell me you want to be Piao Wang's last disciple." Zhao Yanxia said, "But he is more than enough to be your teacher. Just tell the Emperor later."
" That won't do. One must have sincerity to acknowledge a master. The political meaning of the Emperor's appointment is too strong. Piao Wang might even think that I am the spy that the Emperor has planted by his side. That's why I want to do this myself. I want to use my sincerity to move Park Shuai. " Zhao Gao said with certainty.
Zhao Yanxia made a vomiting gesture. "You are really sincere? Why did you say that you are so high and mighty?"
Zhao Gao glared at his sister. "You are getting more and more lawless. You dare to talk to your brother like this even before becoming a concubine. Today, I must teach you a lesson."
Zhao Yanxia kept begging for mercy, then said, "I heard something happened in the Imperial City. The Soong Family started a rebellion, and Soong Qiuyi was one of them."
This news surprised Zhao Gao. "Soong Qiuyi? It wasn't him, but he actually started a rebellion? What kind of joke was this? Would the Emperor allow Soong Qiuyi to do this? "
"Previously, I was almost fooled by that set of theories of yours. Only later on did I understand. In the end, the people of the Soong Family are still people of the Soong Family. The pride in their bones couldn't be erased. Soong Qiuyi was very likely to be hypocritical with the Emperor, but the current situation in the Imperial City was also unstable. The Empress takes charge of the middle troops and prepares to fight a tough battle with the Soong Family. "
" That is even more impossible. I must go back. The Empress has a dragon seed " Zhao Gao said loudly.
"Brother, this matter is very strange, you have to deal with it properly" Zhao Yanxia said, "We can't all go back. We have to leave someone here to watch."
"I understand what you mean." Zhao Gao's expression was very serious. "Park Shuai just submitted to us, and the Soong Family in the city started to rebel. And the one leading was the Soong Qiuyi that the Emperor was very reliant on. The actions of the Soong Family would cause the Emperor to doubt. The most direct influence would be that the Emperor might not completely trust Park Shuai anymore."
Zhao Yanxia nodded," That's right, that's what I meant. The person who played this trick had a deep mind and the motive was also very big. He didn't want to help Soong Family at all, but wanted to completely destroy our Cang Liu Empire."
"There is no such person in the Great Dragon City, and neither does the Da Xiu City and the Da Yu City. Could it be those people from the Central Plains? " Zhao Gao said in surprise, "Has Cang Liu Empire successfully attracted their attention? If that's the case, it will be tricky. "
Zhao Yanxia said, "The urgent matter now is to stabilize the Emperor's mind and suppress the Soong Family."
Zhao Gao expressed that he understood," Then I will leave. You pacify Park Shuai and I will not bid farewell to him. "
Zhao Yanxia sent her brother away and her heart was also incomparably anxious.
Compared to Great Dragon City, the situation in Da Di City was truly pressing on his heart.
That man was so proud, yet he had encountered such a betrayal. She didn't know what kind of blow he would suffer. It was really sad.
...
Soong Qiuyi paced back and forth in the tent. In the middle was a huge sand table. The sand table was invented by the Emperor and it greatly increased the efficiency of the battle. Furthermore, the battle simulated on the sand table was not much different from the actual battle. Just as it was launched, it received unanimous praise from all the generals. Now, the Da Di City generals had to bring the sand table no matter where they went to battle.
Soong Family had been in hiding for three years and had been bullied for three years. Now, it was finally time to take revenge.
Soong Qiuyi's eyes sparkled. No one knew what he was thinking about.
The curtain of the tent was lifted and a few armored Soong Family juniors walked in.
The rebellion this time was a family rebellion. All the men of the Song Family who could fight on the battlefield were wearing armor. Although they might not go to the front line to fight the enemy, all the disciples of the Soong Family were wearing armor to fight the enemy. It was at least a psychological comfort to those forces that depended on the Soong Family.
"Patriarch." One of the men called Song Shichun said. He was Soong Shiyu's younger brother, and he was twenty-six years old this year.
Three years ago, he had watched his elder brother being killed by Lee Yang. That kind of grief and indignation couldn't be described with words.
"How are your preparations going?" Soong Qiuyi's eyes were still fixed on the sand table, pondering about the next step.
"We can attack at any time." Song Shichun's eyes became more fanatical. He had waited for three years for this opportunity. It wasn't to prove how great he was, but to tell Lee Yang. Whatever the Soong Family had lost, it had to be taken back from him.
"Alright. Pass on my order. The entire army will attack at dawn. We must take down the Zuo family stronghold and the small guest house. The geographical location of these two places was extremely important. Take down these two places. It was the same as strangling the connection between the Da Di City and the Da Yu City. Even if the army of the Da Yu City attacks us, we can still use the advantageous terrain to deal with them. " Soong Qiuyi said loudly.
"Yes!" A few men answered loudly and then walked out with loud clanks.
"Report!" A shout came from outside the tent. Soong Qiuyi said to come in. A messenger with a sorry figure stumbled in from outside.
"Commander, this is just picked up." The messenger took out a letter. "It's from a horse."
When Soong Qiuyi saw the inconspicuous totem in the corner of the envelope, his expression suddenly changed. "Without my order, no one is allowed to get within three feet of the main tent. Anyone who trespass will be killed without mercy. Get out."
After the messenger left, Soong Qiuyi opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. Finally, he gently placed the letter into the basin. Words gradually appeared on it.
Soong Qiuyi's expression was uncertain. He only let out a long sigh after the letter was completely melted.
