Huyan Wuhen was busy dealing with the rebels, and all the officers above centurion were executed without special reasons.
The rebel soldiers were also screaming one by one. It would be strange not to scream when the red-hot iron was burned on their faces, and the word "rebellion" was prominently displayed.
If it weren't for the lack of labor, Hu Yanwuhen would not have spared these rebels who were acting recklessly in the capital.
The unblocking of the blocked city gates, the tidying up of the capital, and the backfilling of the mountains of dirt outside the city all required a lot of labor.
The people really could no longer withstand the torture and could no longer be used as forced labor.
Master Wang returned to clean up the mess. He had to endure the pain. The living must continue to live. Qi Jing gradually regained some vitality...
The Qi army won a victory, but the Qin army fell into grief and anger.
The Qin Kingdom was over, and Yan and Han jointly attacked, with overwhelming momentum and no resistance. The troops of Yan and Han were almost racing to encircle the territory.
Qin was occupied faster than expected.
In the 536th year of Wuli, the Qin State fell and was completely divided and occupied by Yan and Han.
Emperor Xia Lingpei of Qin and Queen Mother Zhuang Hong also fled to Qi for refuge.
At this point, the seven kingdoms in the world, Wei Kingdom and Qin Kingdom, were destroyed one after another, leaving only five kingdoms.
The soldiers of Yan and Han arrived at Xiping Pass but failed to capture it. The defender Yin Chu also did not send troops. He was vigilant and held fast to strengthen the defense.
At this time, the Jin State was unable to fight on two fronts, and it was impossible to send troops before the Qi State was pacified, otherwise it would give the Qi State and the Qin Army an opportunity to counterattack.
Yan and Han had no intention of attacking the Xipingguan Fortress. The newly occupied Qin territory was not stable and needed management.
At this point, the three countries were confronting each other around Xipingguan and guarding against each other.
The people of Qin State have a weak sense of belonging to the Qin State regime, and they miss Zhao State even more. They have almost no feeling about the occupation of Qin State, but they long for stability.
Yan and Han began to mobilize resources to manage the occupied areas, both hoping to gain a stable and strong rear before Jin annexed Qi.
Both countries knew that once the Jin State annexed the Qi State, the Jin State, which occupied Xipingguan, could advance and attack, retreat and defend, and it also had the source of war horses and granaries. Sooner or later, the Jin State would have to go to war with Yan and Han, and they had to make adequate preparations.
The Song State seemed a little anxious, watching helplessly as the Jin State annexed the Wei State and wanted to annex the Qi State, while Yan and Han joined forces to carve up the Qin State, but the Song State gained nothing and was suppressed in a corner, which inevitably affected the future.
Worried. But facing Yan and Han together, they dare not fight one against two.
Especially since the two countries have annexed the Qin State, now they are somewhat worried that in order to eliminate future troubles, the two countries will join forces to attack the Song Dynasty?
In fact, Wu Gongling was quite decisive. When Yan and Han attacked Qin, he planned to send troops to interfere.
Can the battle be won? Prime Minister Zi Pingxiu asked this question. He also said that the elites of the Song Dynasty were exhausted in the first battle, and the well-trained combat power has not been fully restored. I think it was not the opponent of the Yan army at its peak.
How can we defeat the two countries when they join forces? He also talked about the current domestic shortcomings.
Niu Youdao was behind the scenes, and Zi Pingxiu used his strength to interfere, suppressing the idea of sending troops to Wu Gongling.
If there is no war, it can only be diplomacy. At present, the envoys of the Song Dynasty are the busiest.
The forces of Nanzhou Shang Dynasty are not willing to be left alone. It is time to divide the results of the war wantonly, how can they sit back and watch!
Not to mention that Shang Chaozong was not willing to give in, neither was Zijin Cave. He had the most powerful soldiers and horses, so why not eat some? He would not just sit back and watch Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain take advantage while he remained indifferent. What's more, behind the scenes of Shang Chaozong
There is Niu Youdao, and Niu Youdao and Gong Lince are wearing the same pair of pants. Naturally, Zijindong fully supports Shang Chaozong's appetite.
Because Nanzhou's forces were close to the Qin State and were the fastest to send out troops, the Shang people occupied the most territory of the Qin State among the people of the Yan State.
In order to consolidate their power, Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming discussed and planned to block the strategic location.
Again, the Shang Chaozong's territory is on the edge of the Qin State. The Shang Chaozong intends to expand the territory it controls in Nanzhou, Jinzhou, and Guangzhou. It intends to cut it vertically and cut off the control between the Yan State and the Qin State's occupied areas.
channel. Nanzhou already has geographical advantages in this regard.
As long as the passages on both sides are blocked, Qin State has the most territory occupied by it. As long as it is under control, Qin State's occupied territory is basically his. From now on, Yan State's management of Qin State's occupied areas will be
You can't pass through his territory without looking at his face.
To a certain extent, it is a last resort. If you do not control and defend the Qin territory, if something happens, you will be surrounded by enemies from both sides. It is impossible to sit back and watch a passive situation arise.
Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong was furious when he learned about it. How could he sit idly by? Prince Yong already controlled the territory of several states, and then let him control more than ten states occupied by the Qin State. The territory was almost half the size of the Yan State.
Yes, once the momentum builds up, what’s the point?
Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain are no longer available.
But at this time, South Korea stepped in and even assumed an offensive posture, intending to help Shang Chaozong achieve its strategic goals.
This is what Jin Jue means. South Korea has just annexed a large amount of territory and needs time to manage it. However, Qi State cannot withstand it for long. Once Qi State is destroyed, the Jin army may send troops eastward at any time. In addition, with its strong strength, South Korea cannot be allowed to survive.
Even if you come to bear it, it is difficult to bear. You need someone to share it.
Therefore, the current Yan State cannot be in civil strife, otherwise the Song State may take advantage of the situation and rob it, and the Jin State will definitely take the opportunity to fan the flames and instigate chaos in the Eastern Three Kingdoms.
The most important thing is to plant internal troubles in the Yan State. The powerful Shang Dynasty will definitely not be willing to be controlled by the court. The Yan State court will also find opportunities to solve the problem from time to time, so that a state of China will appear within the Yan State and the Yan State will be constrained internally.
, it will be of great benefit to South Korea without any harm.
As soon as South Korea intervened, the Yan court was angry, Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain were also angry, but there was nothing they could do...
In the Imperial Palace of the State of Yan, Changde, the chief chamberlain, came to Nie Zhenting's ear who was reviewing the memorial and whispered: "Your Majesty, someone from the State of Yan has been sent here."
"Oh!" Nie Zhenting put down his pen and looked slightly surprised, "Did Shang Jianxiong really send someone here?"
Changde snickered, "Yes, I just arrived. The people have been placed in Juhua Palace."
Nie Zhenting suddenly became interested, stood up, and said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look. I want to see what kind of beauty she is that can make the two emperors never forget her."
Changde immediately led the way and accompanied Nie Zhenting all the way to Juhua Palace.
As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw a graceful figure in white clothes.
The beauty wears a gauze hat, and the white gauze hanging down her face makes it difficult to see her true face, but her slim figure is extraordinary and refined, extremely eye-catching, and can attract people's attention at a glance.
The maids in the palace saluted one after another, "See Your Majesty."
The beauty wearing the gauze also slowly squatted down and saluted, but remained silent.
After saying goodbye, Nie Zhenting walked up to the beauty, stretched out his hand, and slowly opened the beauty's veil. The moment his eyes touched the face in the veil that wanted to avoid but had nowhere to hide, Nie Zhenting's eyes froze.
This beauty was none other than the former Song Dynasty Emperor Mu Zhuozhen's favorite concubine A Qier. Later, forced by the national calamity, Mu Zhuozhen reluctantly parted her love and gave it to Shang Jianxiong, and she became Shang Jianxiong's favorite concubine.
Now South Korea has adopted an offensive posture to lend a helping hand to Shang Chaozong, which has forced Shang Jianxiong into a panic and ordered envoys to communicate with this side.
South Korea's strategy has been set, how can it be changed easily.
No matter what the envoy said, Nie Zhenting would not agree, so he casually said that he should send A Qiao'er over first and then talk.
It was just a casual prevarication, thinking that Shang Jianxiong would not be humiliated by this, but who knew that Shang Jianxiong really sent the beauty to him.
Of course, being able to mention this woman is not without purpose. Nie Zhenting had some thoughts in his heart, otherwise he would not have mentioned A Qiaoer casually.
A woman who could be favored by Mu Zhuozhen came into the hands of Shang Jianxiong. According to the information obtained, Shang Jianxiong was the only one among countless beauties in the harem who favored this woman. The two emperors had very different personalities and preferences, but they both loved the same woman.
Beloved, what kind of woman has such great charm? How could Nie Zhenting not be curious?
Lifting the hand that lifted the veil, Nie Zhenting took off the gauze hat on A Qiao'er's head with his own hands and handed it over casually.
Changde quickly stepped forward and took it with both hands.
Nie Zhenting quietly stared at the woman in front of him. Her hair was as simple as a waterfall of black hair, no makeup, no makeup, her new and tender skin was as flawless as white jade, and her makeup was stunning. Her true appearance was like that of a fairy, and her beauty was breathtaking.
The clear eyes under the long eyelashes were gleaming with tears. She couldn't bear to face the man in front of her. She turned her head slightly to the side, revealing her soft and beautiful neck like a swan's neck. I felt pity for him.
No one knows the desolation in her heart.
Mu Zhuozhen said he loved her back then, and she took her seriously. Unexpectedly, when the national crisis came, she gave her to someone else. Mu Zhuozhen cried bitterly when they parted.
Later, Shang Jianxiong also said that he loved her, and she gradually took her seriously. Unexpectedly, the same thing happened after the incident, and he gave her away again. Shang Jianxiong also cried when they parted.
Now that he was facing another emperor, he felt extremely unbearable.
Nie Zhenting couldn't take his eyes away from her face, and finally let out a long breath that he had been holding back. He found that none of the beauties in his harem could match this woman's appearance, she was truly beautiful and fragrant.
Hearing a hundred times is worth seeing once. Now he finally understood why Mu Zhuozhen and Shang Jianxiong doted on this girl. Only after meeting for the first time, he really understood.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand, pinched A Qiao'er's pink chin, turned her face to face her, and after appreciating her from the front, he sincerely praised: "She is the most beautiful woman in the world!"
As soon as these words came out, the news disappeared and soon spread all over the world. The Korean emperor personally sealed him.
Seeing that the emperor liked him, Changde recognized the situation, stepped back, waved hello, and with the other maids, he retreated and closed the door.
There was no one around, so Nie Zhenting was ready to make a move and asked: "Why don't you speak when you see me? Speak, I want to hear your voice."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door, and it was Changde's voice, "Your Majesty, Grand Sima is here, saying there is something urgent."
Nie Zhenting had no choice but to give up and turn around and leave. After leaving, he told Changde, "The newcomers have just arrived and are not used to it. They must be taken care of properly."
"Yes!" Changde agreed.
When he saw Grand Sima Jin Jue in the pavilions, he found that Jin Jue's face didn't look good.
After he saluted, Nie Zhenting couldn't help but ask, "What's the emergency, Grand Sima?"
Jin Jue said with a sullen face: "I heard that Shang Jianxiong gave his beloved concubine to His Majesty?"
It turned out to be this. Nie Zhenting couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Da Sima, don't get me wrong. I just said it casually at the time, and my intention was to prevaricate. Who knew that Shang Jianxiong really sent the person here."
Jin Jue held up his hands vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this girl is an ominous person. What will happen if Mu Zhuo really gets this girl? When Shang Jianxiong gets this girl, he also creates a powerful figure for the Shang Dynasty. Sooner or later, there will be a backlash. Lessons from the past.
Don’t forget, it is not an exaggeration to say that this girl is a demon concubine who is causing harm to the country. The extent of her success is unknown. I beg your Majesty to put this girl to death immediately to set the record straight and avoid criticism from the courtiers and the people of the world!"
