Chapter 606: Uh, you brothers fight with bayonets?
Xiao Meiniang raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Xiao Mian, what exactly do you want to say?"
Xiao Mian knelt down with a thud, got up from the ground, and begged: "Nephew I urge my aunt to comply with the public opinion of Bashu, Huguang and Lingnan, follow the example of Emperor Wa in governing the world, benefiting all things and benefiting the people."
Wow...
If what I said just now is a frying pan, Now it's a thunderstorm.
Xiao Mian wants Xiao Meiniang to imitate Emperor Wa?
Being an emperor?
A female generation becomes the emperor?
Has this happened since the reign of the Three Emperors? This is simply outrageous and challenges cognition.
But from another perspective, we can also understand his appeal. What was Xiao Mian's reason for rebelling? As an emperor, how can such a person have a favorable impression of the Sui Dynasty established by the Yang family? How is that possible!
What's more, when Emperor Wen destroyed the Western Liang Dynasty, the Xiao family fell into ruin. Xiao Yan's grandfather Xiao Yan was even killed by Yang Jian. Now that the Sui Dynasty was ruined and the Yang family was in disrepute, considering that he was the emperor of the Liang Kingdom not long ago, Yang Jian It's strange that someone with the surname Chaoting can feel a sense of belonging.
If Xiao Meiniang ascends the throne and becomes the queen, everything will be different. Regardless of what others think, from his point of view, this is the country founded by the Xiao family.
Crack.
Xiao Meiniang patted the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up.
"It's nonsense. How can I be as virtuous and capable as Emperor Wa? And since the pre-Qin Dynasty, there has been no precedent for a woman to be in power. If I ascend the throne as emperor as you wish, who can convince me? Xiao Xiao? Now, I think you are bent on rebuilding the Xiao Dynasty and have gone crazy.”
Xiao Mian said in a trembling voice: "My aunt has ascended the throne, my son is here to serve me, and the great tycoons of Bashu and other tribes are here to serve me."
At this time, Lin Shihong, the king of Jiangnan, came out and said: "My minister, Lin Shihong, sincerely invites the Empress Dowager to ascend the throne."
Ha Xin, the tiger king, Ji Sina the snake, Chuan Mou the wolf king, and the three great commanders of Lingnan who were controlled by Chu Pingsheng's life and death talisman all agreed: "The tribes in Lingnan are willing to advance and retreat together with Her Majesty the Queen."
From Xiao Xian of Huguang, Lin Shihong of Jiangnan, Anlong, the great tycoon of Bashu, and the leader of the Liao tribe in Lingnan, these people almost represent the entire Jiangnan region.
Wuliangjian raised his robe and bowed to Siren: "I agree with what King Jing said."
Next, Dong Cheng, who took advantage of the Chai family and his son, was promoted all the way to General Zuo Xiaowei and was granted the title of Kuaiji.
Many people looked at Dugu Feng, the representative of the old officials of the Sui Dynasty.
At this moment, Chu Pingsheng, who had never spoken but had the focus attribute like Xiao Meiniang, said: "In this Northern Expedition, the Chinese army is stationed in Jiangling. If the generals suddenly receive Emperor Tai How should we deal with the decree? The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is a possibility of defeat if there is a slight delay. I think King Jing's advice can be considered."
Dugu Feng looked at the old ministers who had fled south. He opened his eyes and coughed slightly and said: "The Empress Dowager does not need to be troubled by this matter. When she was in the Eastern Capital before, it was the Empress Dowager who listened behind the curtain to listen to politics and make decisions on all matters. At this time, it is only expedient to conduct military operations. From now on, the world will be settled and the world will return to its heart. When Emperor Huangtai matures and is able to recognize and employ people, he will then choose the opportunity to take the throne."
This is basically a compromise between adopting Xiao Mian's suggestion and continuing the old system.
"What Lord Dugu said is true."
"I second my opinion."
"Old minister second my opinion."
"..."
Dear Sui court officials The old minister hurriedly expressed his position aloud, fearing that if he was too slow, Her Majesty the Queen would write down his name in the notebook.
To unify the world in the future, wait until Yang Tong grows up and then return the throne to Yang Tong? After more than ten years, who knows what will happen in the future.
The statements of Xiao Mian, An Long and others might be a scene co-acted with Xiao Meiniang. In fact, they, the old officials of the Sui Dynasty, did not compromise just for this soothing word to maintain a basic It's decent.
So Xiao Meiniang took a step back and took care of their face, and that was how things ended.
"This..."
"Your Majesty, please stop refusing and please comply with public opinion."
"Forget it, at this time when rebels are everywhere, it's better to act cheaply."
Xiao Meiniang sighed and sat down on the dragon chair. Fei Xun took the twelve crowns from the palace maid's hands and put them on her. He stepped aside respectfully and shouted long live to the officials below.
......
Xiao Meiniang was crowned emperor in Jiangling and made Jiangling the capital. Feeling the strong support of the Chu soldiers even though everyone was not optimistic about the Southern Expedition, she founded the country and named it Chu. No. Zhao De.
The news quickly spread throughout the world. Soon after, Anlong, who took over the affairs of Duzunbao, led more than a dozen tribal leaders in the Bashu region to Jiangling to meet him in person.
A few days later, Xiangyang Qian Duguan accepted the recruitment and was appointed as the prefect of Xiangyang. Jingling was also incorporated into the territory soon after. By the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Wang Shihua, who had always been adhering to benevolent government and protecting the country and the people as his strategic policy, was persuaded by Dugu Feng to surrender, and led the six states under his rule to surrender. So far, south of the Yangtze River, except for Shen Faxing, who still occupied the counties of Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu, the remaining areas All fell into the hands of Xiao Chu.
Li Mi, Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Liang Shidu and others thought that Xiao Meiniang would cause trouble and cause civil strife by subverting the ancestral etiquette and ascending the throne as a woman, but it did not happen.
Jingchu was originally the territory of the Xiao family in Xiliang. Xiao Mian’s ability was not outstanding among the Baling Gang. The main reason why he was pushed to the throne was that his surname was Xiao and he was from Xiliang. The descendant of the emperor, Xiao Meiniang, as his aunt, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. It was said that he had the right time, place and people. The tribes in Lingnan had long been afraid of the Sui army. Knowing that resisting Xiao Meiniang would offend Chai Daguan, the city dared to Who dares to dissatisfy the character who kills Song Que for fun?
With the large territory of Jingchu and Lingnan as the foundation, and the support of Bashu controlled by An Long, and Jiangxi controlled by Lin Shihong, these two people are both members of the Demon Sect, and they rule with the iron fist of the Demon Sect, which one Dare to make trouble and object?
What's more, Xiao Meiniang was the Empress Dowager of the Sui Dynasty. She stayed in Luoyang, the eastern capital, to oversee politics for more than a year. She stabilized the morale of the military and the people, smashed Wang Shichong's palace coup, and conquered the Song Dynasty in the south to break the invincibility of the Heavenly Sword. The myth of the legend has achieved something that even the Wen Emperor Yang Jian has not accomplished. Wenzhi must have civility, and martial arts must have martial arts. Now from behind the curtain to the front of the stage, it can be said that it is quite smooth and does not give people a sense of abruptness.
In this world, as long as you control the big families and the common people? At most, you can complain a few times and get nothing done.
……
In June, the sun shines across the sky and the vegetation is lush. Li Jiancheng, who refused to put on his armor because he was too hot and stuffy, urged his horse forward and fanned himself with the straw hat he snatched from the old farmer's hand.
On his right was Li Yuanji, who was also sweating profusely but extremely tolerant, looking around with a carbine in his hand.
Behind the two men was a small troop of more than thirty cavalrymen. The horses were fat and the knights were strong. At first glance, they were carefully selected from Changlin's army.
"Third brother, how far is it?"
Li Jiancheng picked up the water bag, took off the cap and drank some water, but he didn't feel much better.
He really wanted to curse, and he chose such a hot weather over and over again.
Yu Wenhuaji was also worried about being seen by people from Li Mi and Liang Shidu, so he chose the meeting place in the mountains more than thirty miles away from Luoyang. Isn't it okay to get a boat in the river? Not to mention the Luo River in the north, the Yi River in the south is also good.
Li Yuanji looked at the map, flew up and took a few glances around and said: "We have arrived at Wan'an Mountain, and we will go around to Daguguan. It will be almost half an hour's walk away."
"Half an hour." "
Li Jiancheng looked at the bare rocks in the north, and then at the dense woods in the south, muttering in his heart, thinking that this place... gave him a feeling that something was wrong.
"Third brother, Yu Wenhuaji won't be up to any conspiracy, right?"
"Brother, how is this possible? Ever since Li Mi kidnapped Yang Tong, their relationship has become worse day by day. Today, Yu Wenhuaji is eager to establish friendship with us and fight against Xiao Meiniang together.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of arrows in the dense forest, wheeze, a strange color flashed, and a cavalryman was pierced by an arrow in the throat and fell off his horse.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Another continuous stream of sharp arrows flew out of the dense forest.
The cavalry squad suddenly became confused and drew out their swords to resist, trying to deflect the arrows shot from the dense forest.
Li Jiancheng was furious: "I know that Yu Wenhuaji has no good intentions. Third brother, leave quickly."
He turned his horse and prepared to run back for his life, when he suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from behind the dense forest and rocks. A group of masked men rushed out and intercepted their cavalry troops one by one.
There are constant arrows in the dense forest, specially calling the knights on horseback to either shoot them off their horses, or force them off their horses and fall into the circle of masked men.
Li Jiancheng galloped three feet away, and was hit by a stone flying from nowhere. The horse rolled over as soon as he fell. He swung his sword to hold the knife of the masked man who emerged from the grass. At this time, the palm wind came from behind, so I hurriedly dodged to avoid it. Unexpectedly, both the knife and the palm were avoided. Another person jumped from the trunk of the big tree in front, holding two short halberds and stabbed him in the chest.
Three against one, it shows how much the enemy wants to kill him.
“Big brother.”
Li Yuanji waved his gun, knocking the arrow into the air. He turned around and saw this scene, and hurriedly drove his horse forward to rescue him. When he passed by a cavalry, he didn't expect that the man suddenly turned the edge of his knife, shouted, and shouted with all his strength. He slashed at him from a tricky angle.
Li Yuanji hurriedly kicked his feet and jumped up. Unexpectedly, the cavalry slapped the horse's back and flew into the air. His body was spinning and he was struck with more than a dozen knives. Only then did he realize that he was not the fake Chang Linjun at all. The opponent of the cavalry missed two consecutive stabs with his carbine, and was wiped across his ankle by a knife that was getting faster and faster. Poof, blood gushes out, and his whole body is drained. At this time, another sharp arrow is shot out of the dense forest, and he can't avoid it. , the sword feather reached deep into his right chest and penetrated his body.
Cough!
The moment he landed, Li Yuanji coughed up a mouthful of blood. It was difficult for his body to gather his true energy. This arrow was not only sharp, but also extremely poisonous!
The cavalry who succeeded in the sneak attack pursued him, and before his feet touched the ground, he slashed into his neck with a knife. The splattered blood instantly dyed his vision red. In the blur, he saw a masked man with a golden arch hairstyle. A palm slapped Li Jiancheng on the forehead.
Then he fell limp, twitched a few times, exhaled his last breath, and died.
Soon, the battle on the country road came to an end, and only two of the cavalry troops brought by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji "luckily" escaped.
Poor Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng and third son Li Yuanji did not die in the battle, but died on the way to meet their alliance partners.
At the same time, on a trident-shaped peak in the northern mountains, Shen Luoyan, Chen Laomou and others who were taken under Li Mi's command witnessed the ambush on the country road.
"Commander Shen really knows what's going to happen." Wang Bodang, who was carrying a double-pointed soft spear and with a pair of bare dark arms, said respectfully.
Chen Laomou narrowed his mouse eyes, pinched his goatee and said: "Oh, there is a good show to watch next."
Shen Luoyan, who was disguised as a man, slapped the folding fan in his hand: "Oh, how pitiful In the Yuwen Dynasty, Xiao Meiniang in the south of the Yangtze River has become a leader, and the forces in the north of the Yangtze River are still fighting in their nests. I really can't bear it."
She said beautiful words, but look at her light eyebrows and smiling mouth. There is no trace of worry about the current situation in his expression.
Wang Bodang said: "In this way, our Wagang Village can replace the Li family and become the strongest force in Jiangbei."
"Don't be complacent yet."
< br>
Shen Luoyan took half a step forward and faced the abyss, with a very wise and scheming attitude: "You have to plan carefully after you go back and make reasonable use of the upcoming good and evil conference."
Wang Bodang was a little worried: "Military advisor, will those evil people...come?"
Shen Luoyan said: "Based on my understanding of Chai Shao, he killed Shi Zhixuan first and then Song Que. There is no reason why he shouldn't come. Luoyang meets Ning Daoqi."
"I'm worried..."
Chen Laomou said: "What are you worried about? Chai Shao faces Master Yijian, Cai Lin and Yi Xin. How dare a lineup like Master, Sanren Ning Daoqi, and the Four Holy Monks do anything wrong?”
"Master Yijian of Korea? He will come too?"
"Yes, I just got the news that Master Yijian has left the peninsula and is on his way to Luoyang."
