As Xu Xiao said this, he led the people into the city simply without worrying about Xu Weixiong's obstruction.
Xu Weixiong originally wanted the other soldiers to go in first and wait until the chaos was settled before entering, but seeing that Xu Xiao had already gone in, she had no choice but to follow him.
After entering Lintong Pass, Xu Xiao said simply, "Weixiong, I will leave 10,000 cavalry here to accompany you. You will take care of these soldiers guarding the city. After our Beiliang infantry arrives, we will fight with you."
Together, they can capture all the major cities in Hezhou, are you sure?"
Xu Weixiong looked at Wang Yue and then understood what Wang Yue really meant when he asked her to come. She smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. Then leave it to me. You and His Majesty will go to Tai'an City as soon as possible."
Xu Xiao laughed out loud, and then said proudly, "I know that the Weixiong is very powerful. I leave this to you. Of course I can rest assured. Your Majesty and I can deal with the Imperial City without any worries."
Wang Yue also smiled and warned, "I will give you that jade pendant. You must wear it with you. If you are in danger, just crush the jade pendant. I will come back as soon as possible."
When Xu Xiao saw Wang Yue say this, he giggled. It seemed that his daughter was quite favored.
Xu Weixiong blushed at Xu Xiao's smile, and she quickly said, "Okay, you go quickly and reach outside the imperial city as soon as possible before the nearby prefectures and counties have reacted, so that Liyang's
Guangling's defense line collapsed earlier."
Xu Xiao knew that his daughter was shy, so he nodded, reorganized his army and set off.
Wang Yue warned Xu Weixiong a few more words, and then left with Xu Xiao.
The two men led the cavalry non-stop and arrived outside Tai'an City on the second night. It was only then that Zhao Wu and King Guangling in the imperial city reacted.
However, they did not dare to go out of the city to face the Beiliang cavalry, so they could only hide in the city and did not dare to come out.
But the news that Xu Xiao's Beiliang soldiers had appeared near the imperial city quickly spread to the Guangling defense line, as if they had wings.
The soldiers guarding the pass were originally a little envious of the people in the south who could get the land. But now they heard that Xu Xiao had already attacked the imperial city, and they lost the consciousness of resistance. Cao Changqing took the opportunity to tear them open.
And because of this opening, the entire Guangling defense line collapsed in one fell swoop.
Except for some of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the Guangling defense line who fled towards Tai'an City, most of them surrendered to the Xia Kingdom.
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Yue and Xu Xiao to lead the cavalry to attack the city. They intercepted and cruised around Xiongzhou and Ningzhou, and only occasionally visited the Gyeonggi area.
Relying on the Northern Liang cavalry brought by Xu Xiao, the county soldiers in various states and counties did not dare to leave the city, let alone open the city gates. When the soldiers and horses fleeing from the south faced the Northern Liang cavalry, they were afraid of Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao finally surrendered due to his reputation as a massacrer.
Cao Changqing was also very fast. He didn't even let Wang Yue and Xu Xiao's cavalry wait for a few days. He swept through all the states and counties and brought the army to join them.
The day after Cao Changqing arrived, Xu Hedgehog also came over with the Beiliang infantry.
At this point, Liyang only had the land of Liangliao and Gyeonggi.
At this time, Wang Yue finally showed his face. He was standing outside Tai'an City, with Xu Hedgehog on the left, Cao Changqing on the right, and Xu Xiao standing on the left of Xu Hedgehog, looking at the towering city wall together.
Wang Yue looked at the flash of bright yellow on the tower and said with a loud smile, "Zhao Wu, I'm here in person. If you don't surrender, how long will you wait?"
Zhao Wu did not expect that he would be discovered so soon, so he did not hide anymore, but looked at Wang Yue and said, "Emperor Xia, we still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the capital, and there are still 300,000 in the two Liaos."
, even if the two armies fight in a decisive battle, it is not something you can win with just a few hundred thousand people."
Wang Yue shook his head and said with a smile, "If you surrender yourself, I can treat you leniently, but after you let me capture you, I'm afraid I will have to sacrifice your head to the flag."
Zhao Wu thought of Wang Yue's elusive methods and the blood flowing in Tai'an City. He hesitated for a moment, and then said a little decadently, "Emperor Xia, you have powerful methods, why do you participate in mortal battles?"
Wang Yue looked at the sky with a smile and said something very irritating, "You are too low-cultivated, so you may not understand. My pursuit is to want this day. No matter how hard it is to hide my eyes, I want this land."
I can’t bury my heart, I want all the people in the world to have the chance to become immortals! I want the immortals in the sky to never be so high and mighty again!”
After Xu Xiao listened to Wang Yue's words, he suddenly thought of a legend, that is, the Human Emperor!
That is a legendary existence that can challenge the gods in the sky.
Xu Hedgehog looked at Wang Yue with more admiration in his eyes. Only such a man is worthy of his love.
Cao Changqing was also shocked, but he didn't think much about it. He just wanted to accompany Empress Chu after the world was settled. Apart from that, he had no other wish. As for gods and other things, he didn't care as long as they didn't mess with him.
.
The generals and soldiers behind Wang Yue looked at Wang Yue with eager eyes. It was worth dying for such an emperor!
On the contrary, the soldiers in Tai'an City felt a little afraid in their hearts.
When Zhao Wu saw the reaction of the soldiers behind him, just like the captain at Lintong Pass, he knew that the situation was over, so he asked helplessly, "Emperor Xia, if I am willing to surrender, how do you want to arrange for us?"
When he said this, he also pointed at Liyang Manchao Civil and Military behind him. His meaning was very obvious. He wanted to sell the ministers a favor.
Wang Yue glanced at the people around Zhao Wu, and then said very calmly, "If you surrender, I can make you a loyal king, and you will have no worries about food and drink in your life. As for the ministers around you, I always have to screen them.
OK."
Seeing what Wang Yue said, Zhao Wu nodded and said, "In that case, I surrender."
Hearing that Zhao Wu was about to surrender, the ministers behind him looked at Zhao Wu with complicated expressions, but did not say anything more. They were all thinking about joining the Xia Dynasty in the future.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The soldiers guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the city gate. For them, it was certainly the most cost-effective way to seek refuge with Xia Kingdom.
…
When Wang Yue came to take charge of Tai'an City, he did not embarrass Zhao Wu, and even most of the ministers did not embarrass him. He just asked Cao Changqing to sort out the big and small cases in Dali City and deal with all the corrupt and bribery officials.
Everything remains as usual, which also makes most officials breathe a sigh of relief.
Because, from beginning to end, Wang Yue, except for the heinous people, basically did not kill anyone, and most of them just confiscated family property.
Among them is Zhang Julu.
Wang Yue did not stay longer in Tai'an City. He asked Xu Hedgehog and Cao Changqing to handle government affairs here, and then prepared to go to Liangliao with Xu Xiao. He also wanted to meet Gu Jiantang.
However, before Wang Yue went to Liangliao, he met Zhang Julu first.
When Zhang Julu saw Wang Yue, he asked with some doubts, "He is dead, and His Majesty came to see him off in person. Zhang feels guilty."
Wang Yue shook his head and said with a smile, "The old man went to such an extent for the sake of the poor family. It's really too much. Could it be that he has forgotten that the poor family is just a down-and-out family?"
Zhang Julu helplessly shook his head and said, "At the beginning, I didn't know that I was wrong. However, when Your Majesty opened a school in Xia Kingdom, I realized that I was wrong. Unfortunately, I can't go back. Please ask Your Majesty
, let my son go."
Seeing that Zhang Julu wanted to die, Wang Yue said helplessly, "Your son Zhang Bianguan is doing very well in Shuzhou, and your daughter is Li Chungang's good apprentice. I will definitely not embarrass you.
However, Zhang Julu must die, after all, he has done too much in these years, but you don’t have to die.”
Zhang Julu was stunned for a moment, then asked with some confusion, "Your Majesty, do you want me to remain anonymous?"
Wang Yue looked at Zhang Julu and said with a smile, "Yes, to be honest, Uncle Cao doesn't have that much time. Stay here longer. I want you to assist Wei Xiong in handling government affairs for me and stabilize the overall situation in the government. Wait for me
After you come back, I'd like to trouble you to take up a position at Taiyuan University."
Zhang Julu knew what the Imperial College was for. It was established by the Xia State to select officials. He did not expect that Wang Yue would place him here. He was trembling all over and said excitedly, "I will live up to your majesty's trust in selecting talents."
Able to select talents for Xia Kingdom."
Wang Yue saw Zhang Julu burst into tears of gratitude. It didn't look like he was faking it, and he was very happy in his heart. He smiled and said to Zhang Julu, "In that case, please excuse me for now. I will have someone take you into the palace to meet Concubine Xu."
He specifically mentioned Concubine Xu, just to remind Zhang Julu that the old man had been so targeted at the Xu family in the past, and now he had to keep a low profile, but it also reassured the old man that as long as he was around, the old man would not die.
Zhang Julu was old and cunning, so of course he understood. He smiled bitterly, but still said sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
…
Wang Yue and Xu Xiao brought the soldiers who had surrendered from Liyang, a total of 350,000 troops, to the territory of the two Liaos. He set up a battle array outside Liaozhou, and then asked Xu Xiao to notify Gu Jiantang to surrender.
Xu Xiao was very happy at the moment. Wang Yue asked Zhang Julu to serve as Xu Hedgehog's staff, which was a relief for him. He was holding back his anger at the moment. When Wang Yue asked him to persuade him to surrender, he rode out of the battle and came to
At the foot of Liao City, he shouted, "Gu Jiantang, you see I have brought an army of 350,000 people here, why don't you invite me to sit down?"
Gu Jiantang had just called the officials from both Liao and Liao to Liao City under the banner of Emperor Zhao Wu. He originally wanted to eradicate the disobedient people in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that Wang Yue's soldiers were so quick that he captured Tai'an City so quickly.
Suppress the two Liao Dynasties.
He didn't expect Wang Yue to act so quickly. He called the officials from the two Liaos, which was equivalent to solving a big trouble for Wang Yue. This made him want to scold his mother.
However, what made him even more depressed was that Xu Xiao actually came to persuade him to surrender. This was simply too bullying.
