Chapter 460 Destruction of the Country in Ten Days 3

"Report, the commander is not good, the imperial capital has been breached, and His Majesty the Emperor hastily fled westward!" A soldier dressed as an ordinary person rushed in front of Qian Guangyao, the young commander of the Qi State. It was the soldier who delivered the letter at the beginning.

"What!" Qian Guangyao's complexion changed drastically!

Qian Guangyao led an army of 1.3 million in a hurry, but he still didn't have time to rescue the imperial capital.

After listening to all the situation reported by the soldiers, Qian Guangyao roared, "Where is the strategic idea I sent up!"

The soldiers were very helpless: "I've been detained by Taiwei Li Hui! I won't see Your Majesty at all!"

"Damn the country!" Qian Guangyao roared angrily.

It turned out that military information from other places had to be sent to Taiwei Li Hui for review before being presented to the emperor. However, the status of the personal soldiers who sent the letter was too low, and it was not an emergency information at the border, so it was impossible to send it to the emperor immediately.

According to the general procedure, if Li Hui could not review it, or if Li Hui was not around, the information should be sent to the emperor as soon as possible; but Qian Guangyao understood the problems inside—rules are rules, reality is reality, Qi has no crisis for many years, Everyone has already relaxed.

Li Hui was not there, and almost all of Li Hui's cronies left with Li Hui. The remaining military officials must have vacillated between Qian Guangyao's and Yue Hanchao's proposals.

There are three more commanders of Qi State:

Marshal: Qiu Wenming;

Commander in Chief: Yue Hanchao;

Young Marshal: Qian Guangyao.

When there was a conflict of opinions, everyone would naturally trust Yue Hanchao more than Qian Guangyao. What's more, Qian Guangyao was out of town, Yue Hanchao was a close minister, the situation in the imperial capital was critical at that time, and there was no time to think carefully...

In the end, Qi State is the result now.

Moreover, when Qian Guangyao's suggestion was sent out, Yue Hanchao had already led his troops to attack.

Ma Zheng, the southern guard, waited for a while before saying, "Marshal, are we looking for His Majesty's whereabouts?"

Qian Guangyao hesitated for a while, then sighed, "Is there any other choice?"

The soldiers beside Qian Guangyao whispered: "Marshal, your family members, and many of the general's family members are all in the imperial capital!"

Qian Guangyao sighed again, "So what? If we rush back to the imperial capital now, can we rescue them? How much chance do we have in rushing forward like this?

In fact, the best way to protect our family is not to let Shang Kingdom catch us. As long as we are still fighting, as long as we have strong fighting power, the Kingdom of Shang will not harm our family members. At least, don't insult them. "

All the generals, big and small, looked at each other and nodded helplessly—in fact, this is the only choice now, even if there are many, many helplessness, they still have to choose this way.

Qian Guangyao finally ordered: "March to the west, let's meet with the commander-in-chief Qiu Wenming to support His Majesty together. As long as our two sides can join forces, Qi will have hope.

Remember, don't delay along the way, don't have any conflicts with the Shang Kingdom, just hurry. We must meet with His Majesty to control the west and northwest of Qi before the Shang Kingdom's war advantages unfold and before the Shang Kingdom's late support arrives. Only in this way can we have a chance to restore the country! "

What if you can't meet? Well, no one dares to make that assumption.

However, although Qian Guangyao is excellent, Yan Zhengqing and Nan Gongzhi are fighting side by side. The army actually completely abandoned the imperial capital of Qi, leaving only a small number of soldiers to evacuate the wealth of the imperial capital. The rest of the main force followed the escape route of the emperor of Qi and started... a game!

As long as the emperor of Qi stopped and began to gather soldiers and horses, the army would press up and crush all resistance.

"I can't escape like this anymore!" He Zhiguo finally discovered Yan Zhengqing's conspiracy, "They deliberately let us go, and they used them as bait to dispatch troops one by one, and then defeated them one by one.

Your Majesty, please send envoys to inform all local governors, generals, etc., to concentrate their forces in the west of Ashan County; the terrain of Ashan County is dangerous, and it is the best base to guard the west of Qi State.

We are here to compete with Shang Kingdom!

And Ashan County is the place where Qi State first started, there should be some backers! "

"Then what should His Majesty do?" Some palace guards were dissatisfied. The emperor is a trouble, especially in the current situation, the emperor cannot be left behind! This is exactly what makes Yan Zhengqing so ruthless.

It seems that the emperor and his party were let go, but it put a heavy burden on Qi Guo.

He Zhiguo gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, please allow me to sit in the emperor's car (driver) temporarily to serve as Your Majesty. Your Majesty will lead the guards to Ashan County and arrange them in advance."

Swipe... Everyone looks at He Zhiguo, you want to pretend to be the emperor? While this seems like a good suggestion, is the Emperor so easy to impersonate? What if the fake show is real and you really take the opportunity to become the emperor?

You, He Zhiguo, are the prime minister. If you really want to pretend to be the emperor, and then Li Daitao is stiff, and the fake show is real, you have the ability!

Now that you have this ability and made this suggestion, then... Prime Minister He Zhiguo, what is your true heart?

He Zhiguo just sighed when he saw everyone watching, there was really no other way. But seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, He Zhiguo still sighed and felt a little uncomfortable.

Pretending to be the emperor is an adventure in itself, even the danger of death; you still don't trust me so much, when is this!

The chief guard next to the emperor said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is the most important minister of the country. At this moment, your majesty cannot be without the prime minister's assistant. I think it is enough for ordinary guards to pretend to be your majesty temporarily."

He Zhiguo opened his mouth, and finally sighed, "Feng Chao is still thoughtful."

His Majesty the Emperor of Qi immediately ordered some of the guards to flee to the northwest in the 'Huang Yu'; while the emperor of Qi and his party fled to Ashan County in ordinary clothes, carrying seals and other important items.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers were sent out to deliver letters. And these scattered messengers can also confuse the public by the way.

At the same time, in the rear, Yan Zhengqing led the army to pursue, and soon learned that the Qi State had actually "divided its troops".

"Which direction should we pursue?" Yin Hairui and other generals were confused.

Yan Zhengqing chuckled, and took out something like a compass, "This is a magic weapon refined by Ling Zhifeng, and it has only one effect, which is 'hopefulness'. Let me see which direction the imperial energy is in!"

Saying that, Yan Zhengqing sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and the compass slowly floated up; a moment later, Yan Zhengqing suddenly opened his eyes, and the eyes were completely dark, while the compass rotated rapidly, and finally the pointer in the compass pointed to the west.

"Pursue to the west! For the rest, send Yuan Yingqi to kill them directly, and don't let one go!"

The two sides continued to pursue and flee, but Qi soon discovered the problem. The main force of the Shang Kingdom had not shifted at all, and they were completely behind the Qi emperor.

"What's going on here!" Everyone finally began to feel puzzled.

"Imperial aura!" He Zhiguo sighed, "Your Majesty has an imperial aura, and you can track it with certain means. Some warlocks can even see it directly!"

Everyone suddenly fell silent. It's not that they didn't think of this question just now, but they were worried about He Zhiguo! The most important thing is... You, He Zhiguo, have a way to fabricate imperial aura out of thin air?

If so, you, He Zhiguo, are the so-called "born emperor", and you should be killed now.

Everyone turned their attention to He Zhiguo again—Master Prime Minister, please give me a solution.

He Zhiguo sighed, "Continue with the previous plan. We will continue to dispatch soldiers along the way to stop us, and we will speed up to Ashan County. Now, it is no longer possible to divide the troops."

Grand Master Dong Jingrong suddenly said: "Prime Minister He, do you have a way...to imitate the imperial spirit?"

"No, it's just that there is a way to stimulate the emperor's aura, but it can only last for two hours. Now there is no way."

The monarchs and ministers of the Qi State continued to flee, constantly mobilizing soldiers from one city after another to stop the army behind; but such sporadic support could not cause any damage to the army of the Shang Kingdom at all, and could only deliver food.

Instead, the soldiers of the Shang Kingdom rushed to kill each other... This is all military merit!

Going all the way and killing all the way, Qi's military strength was smashed little by little under this kind of contest. Yan Zhengqing led the army, as if driving away rabbits, driving the emperor of Qi up and down, constantly pulling out his own strength to die.

A single city can send thousands to tens of thousands of "heads" to the army of the Shang Kingdom.

After more than a dozen cities, more than 100,000 soldiers in Qi State died. And with the deaths of these soldiers, more people's hearts began to be shaken. People's hearts are precious, but sometimes people's hearts are also very fragile.

Yan Zhengqing was a real commander. After killing the soldiers along the way, he opened warehouses to release grain and scattered a lot of wealth in the city for the people to fight for. As a result, the hearts of the people of Qi collapsed a little bit like this.

Killing can arouse people's resistance; but what if it is to give benefits? This is the fragility of the people's hearts! Most people don't care about the life and death of the country. What they care more about is their own interests right now. This is a very helpless reality.

Chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing...

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed, and the Qi State has already sacrificed more than 300,000 elite lives in this chasing game, and the hearts of the people have been completely shaken.

At this moment, the 1.3 million army led by Qian Guangyao had just arrived at the imperial capital of Qi. However, what they saw surprised everyone.

Here, of course, there has been war, but now it is chaos! The Kingdom of Shang moved away the palace and most of its wealth, but the remaining food, cloth, some copper coins, silver coins, weapons and armor, a small amount of gold, jewelry and other things that were not suitable for transportation were thrown directly on the street.

After breaking the city, the Kingdom of Shang did not massacre the common people, but expelled them. After the Shang Kingdom's army left, these people would naturally return. As a result, we saw wealth all over the place.
