Chapter five hundred and forty-five soldiers forced Jinyang City
Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin led the Zhou generals to march northward. Wherever they went, the states south of Jinyang in the Northern Han Dynasty faced the wind. The Zhou army quickly arrived at Jinyang City with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The front of the Zhou army appeared in the northern capital city. A majestic city appeared in front of the Zhou army. At this time, Jinyang City was like an isolated city, and it was a turtle in the urn of the Zhou army.
Looking at this ancient city from the stable chariot, although it is not as majestic as Bianliang, it still exudes a simple and majestic momentum. Chai Rong finally let out a long sigh of relief.
The Zhou army finally arrived at Jinyang City. He ordered the army to rest and set up camp south of Jinyang. At this time, the Zhou army had gathered hundreds of thousands of people and camped dozens of miles south of Jinyang.
They are all camps of the Zhou army.
No one knew Chai Rong's high mood at this time. After the Great Zhou Army reached the Battle of Gaoping, they had been invincible all the way. They all the states in the Northern Han Dynasty heard the news and surrendered, so that the Great Zhou Army easily defeated them.
They captured several major cities in the Northern Han Dynasty. And the Zhou army reached the gates of Jinyang City with ferocious force. The faces of every Da Zhou officer were filled with excitement. They looked at this famous northern city of the Northern Han Dynasty.
The capital of the country, their eyes shone with blazing light, and Jinyang City had already become theirs.
Chai Rong was in the same high mood as the generals of the Zhou Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were shining brightly. He was standing behind Chai Rong, and beside him were Shi Shouxin, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde and other Zhou dynasties.
The famous generals stood on the modified chariot one after another. The chariot was pulled by four strong horses. The chariot was modified by Zhao Kuangyin in order to keep Chai Rong safe.
From the chariot, watch how the Zhou army captured Jinyang City.
"It's strange. There has been no news from Jinyang City in the past few days. The general always has a bad premonition." Zhao Kuangyin said to Chai Rong with a hint of worry in his eyes. He had not received any news from there.
News came out of Jinyang City, and he was vaguely worried that the spies of the Zhou Dynasty who had sneaked into Jinyang City might be eliminated by the Northern Han Dynasty.
"Is there any news about the third brother?" Chai Ronghu's eyes flashed and he asked Zhao Kuangyin. The lack of news about the spies from Feiqiao Camp also made him a little worried. There were many crises in Jinyang City, and Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng
Sneaking into the city alone, even with the help of Hook, they would be in danger.
"Not yet, there is no news about the third brother and Mr. Ye." Zhao Kuangyin looked serious and replied to Chai Rong. "It is said that Wang Dezhong went to the Khitan again and asked for troops to support him, but he didn't know when the Khitan army would arrive.
If the Khitan army arrives, it will definitely pose a threat to our Zhou army." Zhao Kuangyin went on to say that he had already received the news that Wang Dezhong, the Prime Minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, was on an envoy to the Khitan, but there has been no movement of the Khitan army, not even a little news.
It didn't come out.
"It seems that someone has taken control of Jinyang City, and there is no one else except the Zhong family. The Zhong family coerced the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty to command the princes of the Northern Han Dynasty. It can be seen that the Zhong family has ulterior motives and has a big plan." Shi Shouxin's resolute expression
There was also a hint of worry on his face. He was originally opposed to the Zhou army continuing to march north to Jinyang. However, Emperor Chai Rong was ambitious and determined to capture the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty. As a minister, he could only
I can swear to follow you to death.
"The people of the Zhong family are not worried. I am afraid that someone will add fuel to this matter and make the battle between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty more tragic and weird." Li Chongjin, who had always been taciturn, said suddenly. He had always felt that this matter was not serious.
It's not simple. Zhang Yongde, who was attached to the Zhou Dynasty, looked at the Northern Han garrison soldiers on the towering city wall with interest, as if in his eyes, killing was more enjoyable than those plots.
"Why do they care so much? You can fight as Your Majesty says. When the Khitan army comes, I, Shi Yanchao, will be the first to rush forward and kill the Khitan barbarians all by themselves, so that the Khitan barbarians will know the majesty of our Zhou army."
The burly man standing in the last row next to Chai Rong had a tough look on his face, and he murmured nonchalantly.
"Okay, the troops are coming to block it, and the water is coming and the soil is flooding. Let all the soldiers rest and recuperate, and launch an siege battle tomorrow morning. No matter when the Khitan army arrives, our Great Zhou Army is not afraid. This time our Great Zhou Army is united and will definitely attack this city.
Take Jinyang City." Chai Rong listened to the discussion of the generals, and he was unknowingly ambitious. Even if Jinyang was a dangerous pass, he vowed to win it. The Zhou army traveled thousands of miles, riding the wind and clouds.
When he arrived at Jinyang City, the weather, location, and people were so good that the Zhou army had everything. He didn't believe that the Zhou army could not even capture Jinyang in the Northern Han Dynasty, where even the emperor was a fake.
"Report", Chai Rong was about to give the order to return to his camp, but the voice of a soldier came to report that the whole army had just arrived at Jinyang City and everything had not started yet. Now something happened to the army.
Chai Rong looked at Zhao Kuangyin, his intention to inquire was obvious. The latter gave him a blank look. In fact, Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what happened.
"If you have anything, please report it immediately." Zhao Kuangyin's tone was serious, with supreme majesty.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers patrolling outside have caught a spy from the Northern Han Dynasty. I am here to ask how to deal with it." It was a Zhou soldier dressed as a deputy general. He knelt down and worshiped the Emperor of Zhou hurriedly. But everyone
Everyone saw a hint of strange excitement in the eyes of the deputy general. Catching a spy from the Northern Han Dynasty made the deputy general as excited as if he had won a battle, and everyone was immediately excited.
"At this time, we actually captured a spy from the Northern Han Dynasty. Tell us how we caught him." Chai Rong also became curious. The Zhou army arrived at Jinyang City with a rainbow-like momentum. People from the Northern Han army
It was too late to hide. How could he catch the Northern Han spy at this time? So he wanted to know how those patrolling Zhou soldiers caught the Northern Han spy.
"Back to Your Majesty, Beizhi was leading the guards to patrol around. Suddenly a long arrow shot out and landed at Beizhi's feet. At first, Beizhi thought it was an assassin sent by the Northern Han Dynasty and wanted to assassinate my Zhou generals, but the long arrow shot
There was also a piece of paper tied to the arrow. It said that the Prime Minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, Wang Dezhong, was mingling among ordinary people in the city, so Beizhi sent someone to arrest him. But Beizhi did not know that the Prime Minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, Wang Dezhong, was there.
, so I came to report." The deputy general couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and he told what happened in an orderly manner.
"You actually caught Wang Dezhong?" Chai Rong had a trace of doubt in his eyes, and he asked the deputy general in disbelief. What a coincidence, as soon as the Zhou army arrived at Jinyang City, the Zhou army
Wang Dezhong, the prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, was captured. Could it be that someone was secretly helping him? Chai Rong was not only filled with doubts, but even the Zhou generals around him could not conceal their doubts.
"Bring that man over quickly and let me have a look." Even though he couldn't believe it in his heart, Chai Rong's tone also became excited. This Wang Dezhong had the highest status in the Northern Han Dynasty and could be said to be highly respected.
Among the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty that Chai Rong wanted to get rid of, Wang Dezhong must be ranked first. But among the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty that Chai Rong wanted to win over, Wang Dezhong was ranked first.
The generals of Zhou Dynasty gathered in Chai Rong's camp. Several Dazhou sergeants escorted a thin old man who was full of scholarly air. Everyone in the camp looked at him in surprise. Especially,
Chai Rong's eyes flashed with excitement, his face flushed with excitement, and his bright eyes kept falling on the old man.
The old man was tied up and escorted into the camp. His long robe could not conceal his nobility as if he had been in a high position for a long time. The old man's eyes looked calmly at the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Emperor Chai Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the tent.
, although there was a layer of deathly gray on his face, he did not have any fear.
At this time, Chai Rong was already sure that this person was Wang Dezhong, the Prime Minister of the Northern Han Dynasty. Although Wang Dezhong was a little embarrassed at this time, he did not see any panic on the other side, and there was only a hint of determination. Wang Dezhong since
Knowing that he had no way to survive, he did not show any signs of panic. Instead, he remained extremely calm and had an awe-inspiring aura that made Chai Rong and the Zhou generals in the camp admire him.
"Come here, please quickly untie Mr. Wang, and prepare a banquet to entertain Mr. Wang." Chai Ronghu's eyes flashed, and he gave the order with a wave of his hand.
Following Chai Rong's order, generals immediately came to loosen the ropes of Wang Dezhong, who was tied up with five flowers, and then set up a banquet in Chai Rong's tent. For a moment, the ashen face showed
Wang De was suspicious in his heart. He didn't know why Chai Rong treated him like this but didn't order him to be killed. It was beyond his expectation.
Everyone has a desire to survive, and so does Wang Dezhong. He was the prime minister in the Northern Han Dynasty, but now he became a prisoner of the Zhou Dynasty. This gap made him feel extremely bitter. Although in his heart
With a bit of surprise, but still without any fear, as the prime minister of a country, his courage makes people full of respect.
The generals of the Zhou Dynasty also sat down one after another. Chai Rong personally poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Wang Dezhong. With a smile in his eyes, he said to the frightened Prime Minister of the Northern Han Dynasty: "The two countries are at war. It is difficult to decide which is right and which is wrong."
, but unfortunately Mr. Wang was in danger, so let this wine help Mr. Wang calm down his shock."
"It is said that the king of the Zhou Dynasty is kind-hearted and ambitious. It seems that your majesty is still very considerate this time. I am honored to meet you." When Wang Dezhong saw Chai Rong pouring himself a glass of wine, he did not show any pretense and raised his hand.
He drank the wine in one gulp. Holding the empty wine glass, Wang Dezhong stroked the wine on his long beard and said elegantly.
"The two countries are at war, and I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. If your majesty wants me to betray my country, the Han Dynasty, I am afraid I will disappoint you. It is about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. Although I, the Han Dynasty, cannot be compared with your country, it is still the territory of the same country.
However, I am very pedantic, so I hope your Majesty will not force you on me."
After Wang Dezhong finished drinking the glass of wine, he stood up, his eyes shining with bright light. He looked around at the Zhou generals present, and then he said in a firm tone. There was a look of death on his face.
With such an awe-inspiring aura, he already knew everything he wanted to ask from Chai Rong's tone, but he refused before Chai Rong could ask. He had already put his own life and death aside and was not afraid of Chai Rong.
Will kill him in a rage.
"I have no intention of betraying your country, King Zhen. Let's get straight to the point. All you need to do is tell where the Khitan army will arrive." Chai Rong's face couldn't help but change a few times. He didn't think that this king's success was real.
He was so pedantic that the other party rejected him before he even opened his mouth. But he admired the commendable integrity of the other party. Although the other party was a frail scholar and an old man who knew his fate, his awe-inspiring and righteous integrity made him admire him endlessly.
Not inferior to anyone.
A wry smile appeared on Wang Dezhong's face. He did not make any answer, but lowered his head and ate the food in a low voice. Whether it was the wine poured by others or the wine poured by Chai Rong, he would not refuse anyone who came.
He drank it all in one gulp. But he remained silent. No matter it was the other generals of the Zhou Dynasty who threatened him or Chai Rong tried hard to persuade him, Wang Dezhong remained silent. This left everyone in the Zhou Dynasty with no choice but to
The prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty was allowed to eat and drink as much as he wanted.
