There are no coalition troops stationed in the palace of King Zhen, but there are many scattered soldiers coming in and out. Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang took people around the palace. The place can only be described as miserable.
When they walked to Cuicheng Palace, they happened to encounter two Huan soldiers coming out of it. The two men were talking and laughing while wearing their belts.
"How is this woman?" "She is so beautiful. I have never played with such a beautiful woman in my life!" "I heard she is the princess of Zhenguo." "I thought she was the princess." "Haha"
Xiao Xuan only listened for a while and then couldn't listen anymore. He frowned, shook his head to the people behind him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go! Leave the city and return to camp!"
Xitang, including the royal palace of Zhenguo, had been ruined to a state of disgrace. Xiao Xuan could only feel that it was dirty. He did not want to stay in this kind of place for a moment longer.
While urging his horse to go out, he said to Shao Fang: "Send an order to the whole army to set fire to the city. No one in the city can be left behind!"
If the outside world knows what the Allied Forces did in Xitang, not only the evil-doing Anhuan Army will be discredited, but even the Sichuan Kingdom will be implicated. The best way now is to completely destroy Xitang and destroy it.
Erase it from this world so that no one knows what the coalition forces did here.
Shao Fang nodded in understanding, shook his head and said, "What Brother Wang said is absolutely true. Xitang cannot be kept any longer."
The allied forces of Feng, Yu, An, and Huan had already swept away the wealth of Xitang. Now Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang proposed to massacre the city and set fire to Xitang, Tang Yin, Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin. Naturally, the four kings also did not
will object.
At noon that day, the coalition forces hanged Li Hong in front of the palace gate of the Zheng Kingdom. Then, the coalition forces blocked the city gate and launched a bloody massacre of the Zheng Kingdom people in the city.
The coalition forces carried out a killing spree in the city, while the Feng army was outside the city transporting the people of the Zhen Kingdom in the outer city to the Feng Kingdom on a large scale.
Now the coalition forces have ordered that all the Zhen people inside and outside Xitang be executed. If they stay here, they will die. Those Zhen people who originally did not want to move to Feng Country have to compromise.
While Feng Jun was trying to win over Zhenren to go to Feng Country, Pang Li quietly came to the teahouse run by Di You.
At this time, the teahouse was in a mess, with broken tea cups, tea bowls and tables everywhere, and dark black dried blood stains were clearly visible on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Pang Li's eye circles turned red again. She bit her lips and carefully walked through the teahouse and came to the backyard. It was not much better here, it was messy and there were patches of dried blood.
The teahouse had been raided several times by the Feng Army, leaving nothing behind. Pang Li walked around but found no valuable clues. Finally, she walked back to the courtyard, looked around helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh.
cried loudly.
Will Brother Di's death become a mystery forever? Will he never be able to find the person who destroyed his message? When Pang Li was feeling desperate, he accidentally saw the old tree not far from her.
Her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered that Di You had told her before that if there was important information to be reported and he happened to be away, the information could be placed in a bird's nest on the old tree in the courtyard.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously raised her head. The bird's nest on the tree was still there. Feng Jun had searched everything but ignored this place.
Pang Li wanted to give it a try, so she came to the tree and climbed up the tree using her hands and feet. She hugged the branch with one hand and reached into the bird's nest with the other hand. She touched it twice, and her fingertips suddenly
She was shocked when she encountered a hard object. She quickly took out the hard object and took a closer look. It turned out to be a bamboo tube.
With a look of surprise on her face, she slid to the ground along the tree trunk, quickly pulled off the cover of the bamboo tube, and poured a roll of letter paper from the inside. She unfolded the letter paper with trembling hands. It was Di You's personal letter, and the letter was also
It was written precisely to her.
De You mentioned in the letter that if Pang Li could find this letter, it meant that he was dead. He believed that with Pang Li's intelligence, he would also find this letter.
He had received a letter from Pang Li, and he had indeed thought about escaping for refuge, but then he thought again, even if he could escape successfully, he would not be able to avenge his country and his family throughout his life, and would instead implicate Pang Li.
Since you can't take revenge, you might as well create someone who can take revenge at the expense of yourself, and that person is Pang Li.
Tang Yin was suspicious by nature, and Pang Li was his subordinate, so he would not be trusted by Tang Yin. Moreover, Tang Yin was able to tell Pang Li the news of his death, which was also a test for her, so he thought of using the trick to kill himself.
In exchange for Tang Yin's trust in Pang Li. Pang Li was already close to Tang Yin. If she gained Tang Yin's trust again, revenge would become easy.
It can be said that the six countries that united to attack Zhenguo are all enemies. He hopes that Pang Li can act according to the opportunity in the future. At the very least, he must get rid of this despicable villain Tang Yin.
This was the entire content of Di You's letter. After reading it, Pang Li suddenly realized that no one had destroyed his flying pigeon letter. The reason why Brother Di died was entirely of his own free will. He wanted to use his own death to
In exchange for her chance to take revenge.
Tick tock, tick tock!
Drops of tears fell on the letter paper. Pang Li read the letter and unknowingly burst into tears. How sad and angry it must be for such a tough person to die willingly.
What a lot of hatred and resentment.
I don't know how long it took before Pang Li came back to her senses from the grief. Only then did she realize that the letter in her hand was completely soaked with her tears.
She took out the fire folding paper and lit it several times without igniting the letter. Finally, she simply balled it up, stuffed it directly into her mouth, and swallowed it.
When Pang Li returned to Fengying, she seemed like a different person. She had returned to her former charming, charming and passionate appearance. She had a seemingly frivolous smile on her beautiful face, but her eyes revealed a repulsive look.
The cold feeling outside.
From then on, she held Tang Yin tighter and was by his side almost all the time.
Although Tang Yin feels that Pang Li is too clingy, he is not annoying. Mainly because of Di You's incident, he has developed a sense of trust in her. Tang Yin has always been tolerant and tolerant of people he trusts, even
Indulge.
Xitang was destroyed by the coalition forces. The Li family in the capital, as well as the civil servants and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, were all spared. They were all victims of the coalition forces. The monarch died, the court collapsed, and the Zhen Kingdom was leaderless. In fact, it existed in name only.
.
At this time, the emperor lost no time to come forward and issued an edict. First, he commended the achievements of the six-nation coalition. Later, he announced that the fiefdom of Zhenguo would be abolished and all its territory would be divided into four equal parts and handed over to the four kingdoms of Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan.
manage.
With the issuance of Yin Zhun's edict, Zhenguo no longer existed in name only.
At this point, within the Haotian Empire, the Zhenguo that dominated the southwest and was famous for its ferocity and toughness, which had frightened countless people, was completely eliminated. Under the strong attack of the six kingdoms' armies, the arrogant Zhenguo could only hold on for a few days. Just a month.
The demise of the Zhen Kingdom was certainly related to the national strength of the foreign power and the internal power, but Li Hong's arrogance was also an important factor.
He thought that the emperor was incompetent and the imperial court was in decline, so he could replace him. He had thought that if he shot the first bird, he would suddenly arouse the public anger of all countries. He also greatly lost the support of the people in Zhenguo, causing people to rebel against their relatives, causing the rapid disintegration of Zhenguo, and he himself was hanged alive.
In the battle to destroy Zhen, the four kingdoms of Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan were undoubtedly the most direct beneficiaries. After all, the huge Zhen Kingdom was equally divided among the four kingdoms, and the territory of the four kingdoms suddenly increased by several counties. However, the most direct victims were They are still the four countries.
The Zhendi occupied by the Four Kingdoms was actually a bottomless pit, which not only made it difficult for the Four Kingdoms to earn benefits, but also required a large investment of manpower and financial resources.
The rebellion of the Zhen people is one of the headaches, and the military invasion of the western powers is a lingering nightmare.
The harassment and invasion of the western fan states were originally just a problem faced by the Zhen Kingdom, and the Zhen Kingdom has always dealt with it very well. The Zhen people used fierce force and vicious style to beat many of the western fan states into submission.
But now the Zhen Kingdom has been destroyed, and the Zhen Kingdom has been divided into four parts, becoming the Sichuan Kingdom, the Mo Kingdom, the An Kingdom, the Huan Kingdom, and the western fan states are starting to make trouble again and continue to harass and invade.
In order to maintain the territorial integrity and face of the empire, the four countries that carved up the Zhen Kingdom had no choice but to constantly send troops and money to guard the Zhen District border. Among them, the Sichuan Kingdom, which dominated the overall situation in Zhen District, invested the most.
In the next few years, Zhendi became a black hole that devoured Sichuan's national power. Sichuan's decline began precisely with the victory of destroying Zhen. Of course, this was something Xiao Xuan had not expected.
Feng and Jade, who seemed to have gained nothing in the war to destroy Zhen, became the real beneficiaries. Feng and Jade not only plundered a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from Zhen, but also moved a large number of Zhen's people back from Zhen. people.
The number of Zhen people moved by the Jade Kingdom has exceeded 2 million, and the number of people moved by the Feng Kingdom is even greater. Although there is no clear record, it is estimated that it is at least three or four times as many as the Jade Kingdom. In the future, there will be a large number of people. Zhen people are constantly moving north to find relatives, seek refuge, and migrate to the two countries of Feng and Yu. This has greatly improved the population of the two countries in a short period of time, especially the Feng country, which has suddenly eliminated the disadvantage of a serious shortage of young people. After being wiped out, Feng Kingdom's huge army and strong military power were able to be maintained.
The Feng Kingdom annexed the eight counties of Ningbei, which brought about a qualitative change in its national power. The annexation of the five counties of Mobei did not strictly speaking make the Feng Kingdom stronger. On the contrary, it increased the consumption of the Feng Kingdom's national power. However, the battle to destroy Zhen contributed to the decline of the Feng Kingdom. Another qualitative change in the country’s national strength.
In the cold weapon era, population size was also an important criterion for measuring the strength or weakness of a country.
The war that lasted for several months finally ended. The Six-Nation Alliance was automatically dissolved, and the coalition forces were disbanded on the spot. They had to return to their respective countries. Before leaving, the kings of each country had to have one last dinner.
