Steel Dynasty - Chapter 664
[Chapter 663: Meeting in Wind and Cloud]
gunfire gradually became sparse, and the battle in Gyeongju City was coming to an end.
The suspension bridge fell, and the remaining artillery and musketeers poured into the city along the suspension bridge. Seeing more and more soldiers of King Qi appearing, the morale of King Liang’s army in Gyeongju City became increasingly low.
“King Liang, surrender quickly!”
Lu Fei and Qi Guangyi surrounded King Liang and his 300 guards. Among these guards, King Liang was particularly eye-catching in his royal robes.
Qi Guangyi recognized him at a glance. After discovering King Liang, he immediately led his cavalry to surround King Liang and his tribe.
King Liang glanced at Lu Fei indifferently, but he did not return, but asked: “How is King Yan? How is the second prince?”
“King Yan is dead, and so is the second prince.” Lu Fei’s tone was like winter. of frost.
At this moment, Prince Liang seemed to be several years older. He had no children and always treated the second prince as his own son.
Now the person who can inherit his rule is dead, and the King of Yan who can conquer Qi with him is also dead. Now he seems to have nothing left.
“Being a king or losing a bandit, is this destiny? After all, this country still belongs to the Xiao family.” King Liang said dejectedly.
After a pause, he said to Lu Fei: “It is enough for me to die alone. I hope the general will not implicate innocent people.”
King Liang knew that he would definitely die. Xiao Ming ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. They were rebels and rebels.
With a slight snort, Lu Fei said: “Whether they are innocent or not, I have my own concerns in my mind, so I won’t bother King Liang.”
No matter how pitiful King Liang looks now, he would not sympathize with him. If it weren’t for this Liang The king and the king of Yan instigated the three kings to attack Qi. How could he lose so many soldiers in the battle of Yunzhou?
So when he thought of this, he wanted to kill King Liang. This hypocritical person was nothing more than a villain.
First collude with the barbarians, and then raise an army to rebel. Why should such a rebel be merciful?
A flash of anger flashed in King Liang’s eyes. If it were before, how could Lu Fei be worthy of shouting in front of him.
“Take them all.” Lu Fei ordered before Liang Wang and others could react.
The soldiers surrounding King Liang immediately closed the circle with bayonets in hand. Some of the guards of King Liang immediately protected King Liang in the middle, while other guards rushed towards Lu Fei, and the body broke out and escaped from here.
Lu Fei sneered. King Liang didn’t pity his guards at all just now, but he deliberately said this to make these guards fight him to get out of the city.
It’s just that King Liang obviously made the wrong idea. Now the Gyeongju soldiers in the city either died in battle or surrendered. Even if he broke out of the encirclement, he would not be able to get help from other soldiers.
What’s more, these three hundred people couldn’t protect him completely.
“Shoot!” Lu Fei said calmly while looking at King Liang hiding among the guards.
“Bang bang bang…”
The muskets emitted smoke and fire, and the guards of King Liang who rushed over fell one after another.
The soldiers in front of him fell one by one, and King Liang finally showed a look of fear, but Lu Fei seemed to have no intention of letting the soldiers stop.
When only King Liang was left in the encirclement, Lu Fei ordered shooting again.
“Bang bang bang…”
The musket fired, and the projectiles exploded into clouds of blood mist on King Liang’s body. Blood spit out from his mouth, and King Liang fell down in disbelief.
To the end of his life, he did not believe that Xiao Ming would connive at killing a general.
It’s just that he forgot that the second prince died in the hands of this army, not to mention he was the king of Liang.
“General, will the Emperor blame the King of Liang for his death?” Luo Hong was a little worried. After all, the King of Liang was the vassal king. He was afraid of being impeached by officials in the court if he executed the King of Liang so simply.
“The emperor is too lazy to deal with Prince Liang. I would have killed him for the emperor, and the emperor would only be happy.” Lu Fei knew Xiao Ming’s temper very well.
Xiao Ming has never had any good impression of these vassal kings with different surnames.
After killing King Liang, there are still many things left, the most important of which is to occupy Juyongguan.
This Juyong Pass is the gateway for the barbarians to pass through the Liang Kingdom. If it is not captured in time, the barbarians can march straight in. When he set out this time, Xiao Ming specifically explained this matter.
After thinking for a while, Lu Fei said to Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu: “The city of Qingzhou has been destroyed, and the Liang generals are leaderless. The generals at Juyong Pass are likely to surrender to the barbarians. You two will immediately lead the cavalry to Juyong Pass. Luo Xin and Luo Hong will lead a group to support them.” You capture Juyong Pass.”
“Yes, general.” Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu said at the same time, Lu Fei’s military rank was higher than theirs in this expedition.
After giving this order, Lu Fei said to Ye Qingyun: “Although King Liang is dead, there are still some wealthy families who support King Liang in the two countries. These wealthy families must be eliminated.”
Ye Qingyun nodded. A city must do this, because only by getting rid of these wealthy families who are loyal to Liang Wang and supporting those who are loyal to Xiao Ming can the place be settled.
After explaining these things, Lu Fei sent people to pass the news of the capture of Qingzhou City back to Qingzhou. Then he looked in the direction of Chang’an, which was now occupied by King Zhao.
Now that Wei, Yan, and Liang have all been pacified, there is only one King of Zhao left in the north.
If King Zhao is captured again, the North will be unified.
From then on, they could concentrate on dealing with the barbarians in the north. In the hearts of the Qingzhou generals, the real enemies of Dayu had always been the barbarians in the north.
This country is powerful, and the people in the country mount up their horses to serve as soldiers and dismount their horses to serve as the people. The nation is cruel by nature. If the barbarians are not wiped out, the country of Chongqing will be threatened by this nation.
Once the Great Yu Kingdom falls into decline, the barbarians will take the opportunity to take over the Central Plains, which is something that none of them want to see.
In fact, during this period, they had been worried that the barbarians would take the opportunity to go south and invade the north. However, according to Xiao Ming’s words, the barbarians now seemed to have their own troubles and had no time to go south.
But this is not a reason for them to relax their vigilance. They should take this opportunity to control the northern passes and keep the barbarians out of the country.
After all, the northern part of the Great Yu Kingdom has been in war for more than a year. People have been displaced and farming has suffered heavy losses.
They need a period of time to recuperate. After all, years of war have put Qingzhou under huge financial pressure, and it is difficult to deal with the barbarians with Qingzhou’s financial resources alone.
While he was thinking, a cavalryman wearing Liang Jun armor quickly headed north outside Qingzhou City.
The direction he went to was Juyongguan.
Now that Qingzhou has been lost, he must pass the news to Zheng Chengwen, the guard general of Juyong Pass, who is the third brother of King Liang.
Because of this, King Liang gave him jurisdiction over this important pass.
Qingzhou City was only two hundred miles away from Juyong Pass. Two days later, the cavalry arrived at Juyong Pass. He immediately told Zheng Chengwen the news.
“Qingzhou City has been lost!” Zheng Chengwen was shocked. He rolled his eyes and said, “I must go to see Wushu Gutaiji now. Only the Golden Horde can save our Liang Kingdom.”
