After many days of melee, the four armies had only 630,000 left. Combined with Zhao Changqing's original troops, there were as many as 850,000.

It is no wonder that nearly a million troops besieged a mere Yuanzhou County.

It took about three full days to capture Yuanzhou County.

There were almost no storms.

After reaching the top of Yuanzhou County, Zhao Changqing smiled at everyone and said: "I just got the news that Shanbei County, Jiaonan County, Yaozhou County, the generals, prefects, officials and soldiers of the three counties have all abandoned the city and fled. At present, this

The three cities and counties are already an empty city."

This also means that when the Wei army captured Yuanzhou County, they also took control of these three cities and counties. As a result, there were only four cities and counties away from the capital.

Among them, Funing County is the most difficult to attack.

The governor of Funing County is Fang Xin, one of the Kowloon generals.

This man's attack on the city may not be as good as the other Nine Dragons generals.

But among the Jiulong generals who defended the city, almost no one came to their side.

He was originally in the capital and had just been ordered to lead an army of 200,000 to guard Funing County.

This Funing County is the last hurdle before the capital city.

Once this city is captured, the entire capital city will directly face the iron hooves of the Wei army and will be undefendable.

Zhao Changlin boasted: "Your Majesty's prosperity has spread to the sky, and the enemy's troops are frightened after hearing the news. This is really a blessing for our great Wei Dynasty."

Zhao Changqing laughed and said: "Our prince's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

Zhao Changlin started laughing.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers laughed together.

The atmosphere was very harmonious at this moment.

Zhao Changqing was wearing armor, facing the south, and said worriedly: "It is said that there are nearly a million troops in the capital of the Tang Dynasty now?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "The scouts ahead have sent news that the number is indeed close to one million."

Zhao Yundao said: "The real elite divisions of the Tang army have almost been lost. The remaining one million troops are all garrison troops in various places. No matter the equipment or armor, they are not as good as those elite divisions before the Tang Dynasty. What's more?"

Even the previous Tang army had to throw down its armor when facing our Wei army, let alone the millions of garrison troops in this area?"

Chen Qingzhi clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what General Zilong said makes sense. Nowadays, our military strength is at its peak. We should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory. Maybe we can hit the capital of the Tang Dynasty in one go? By the time Yu Ming and the others have not reacted, we have already defeated the Tang Dynasty."

The capital city was taken."

Zhao Changqing looked at them with a smile and said: "You two brothers? You deserve to crawl out of the dead together. This matter? It's not as simple as we imagined. Looking at the posture of the Emperor of Tang, he wants to be with us."

It’s a fight to the death in the capital.”

Chen Qingzhi said: "Are you afraid of them?"

Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty, the top priority right now is still Funing County. As long as this county is captured, nothing can hinder our existence."

Jia Xu said: "General Cao's words are reasonable. After we capture Funing County, we can wait for all armies to gather in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and adopt a posture of surrounding the capital of the Tang Dynasty without attacking, so as to let their morale rise first.

It falls apart, and then slowly it is figured out."

Zhao Changqing said: "What you said makes sense. In three days, the troops will be sent to Funing. Meng De, you will take the lead. In this battle, we must have the same invincible momentum as your father did back then."

Cao Cao solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will definitely live up to his command."

Zhao Changqing nodded.

That night.

He and Zhao Hongji were chatting in the tent.

Zhao Changqing smiled at him and said: "I heard from Qingzhi that when you attacked several counties, you achieved great results and did well. After the war is over, I plan to let you become the king of Chu and take charge of the troops of Chu.

"

Zhao Hongji said in surprise: "Thank you very much, my dear father."

At this time, Zhao Changqing suddenly remembered something, looked deeply at his son, and said tentatively: "Do you know about your sixth uncle and your seventh uncle's rebellion in Chu?"

Zhao Hongji clasped his fists and said, "My child just heard that the seventh uncle died in the war and the sixth uncle committed suicide in prison. This way of death is just right for the two of them."

Zhao Changqing's eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions for a moment, and then he pretended to laugh and said: "You are the only one who dares to say such things to my father. Yes, they have saved me a lot of trouble.

When Jiulong seized the throne, do you know why your father was able to seize the throne?"

Zhao Hongji thought for a moment and guessed: "Is it because my father resisted the national calamity and has won the hearts of the people?"

He spoke very conservatively, and did not dare to say some things openly.

Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "That's not the case. In fact, in terms of winning the hearts of the people, no one could compare to the prince at that time. The prince did serve as emperor for a period of time. The reason why my father was able to win was because my father

The emperor holds heavy troops.

The entire army of Qingzhou was firmly in the hands of my father. When the Wei State had just experienced a national crisis, my father mobilized an army of 300,000 troops. The troops from all over the country were gathered together, and even more so.

It has reached an astonishing 600,000 troops. It is precisely because of such a huge army that my father can ascend to the throne of emperor."

Zhao Hongji was shocked and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple for my father to ascend to the great throne. If my uncles are allowed to govern the Wei State, I'm afraid that today's Wei State will only be able to survive as a couple.

, could not grow up to what it is today. My father has great talents and strategies, which coincides with destiny, so he should also ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

Zhao Changqing laughed and said: "You, you, okay, let's get down to business. I ask you, if one day you are allowed to take charge of the Chu land, will you march into Luoyang a hundred years after your father's death?"

This sentence completely shocked Zhao Hongji.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground, and before he could speak, he heard his father say: "You need to be careful in your answer. If you have this idea, my father can help you. Even if it doesn't work, I can let you and Qing'er

Divide the world equally. Now answer my father, do you want this world?"

Zhao Hongji could not believe what his father said. He knocked his head heavily on the ground and said: "Father, I have never thought that one day I will be the emperor, never! I will only be the emperor for my father."

, For Your Highness the Crown Prince, guard the gate of our great Wei Kingdom. If you are half-hearted, let the child be pierced through the heart by random arrows and die!"

Zhao Changqing pulled him up, looked at each other and said: "Jier, remember what you said today, never try to taint the throne. That is not what you should covet. I owe you, so I will definitely let you live in this life."

, live and work in peace and contentment, but if you have evil intentions, my father, you can only think about the country and the country."

Zhao Hongji clasped his fists and said: "Father, please rest assured, I know how powerful I am and will never do anything detrimental to the prince or do anything treasonous to you, father."

Zhao Changqing nodded approvingly, "You haven't had a mother to love you since you were a child. It's really hard on you. Born in the royal family, sometimes you have no control over your fate. I will definitely honor what I promised you. After the war is over, I will let you organize

A legion with a strength of about 300,000 will keep pace with your uncle Chang Lin. We will stay in the Chu land and be your King of Chu."
