12. Concubine Wang Dajian
"I know you treat me as your wife."
"Then why?"
At this time, the locked cover of the cellar was shaking violently. Wu Chi gritted her teeth, her throat was hoarse, and she kept slapping the cover violently, but she couldn't get out...
"I, I will always be the children of Dafan..." In the end, Nu Qiong gave this reason openly.
The head coach who besieged Yanzhou City ten years ago was also Ma Chongying.
As for the geographical location of Yanzhou, Ma Chongying has always known how important it is. "If the Tang Dynasty loses Yanzhou, there will be no defense of the border in the north. Our Dafan can block Lingwu, cross Baiyu, go straight to Weibei, and capture the Tang family's capital."
Ma Chongying had been coveting Yanzhou City for a long time, and he was not satisfied with his merits twenty years ago. Although Xifan captured Chang'an, he failed to occupy and digest this great capital. Later, when he withdrew from Yanzhou ten years ago, Nuqiong was left behind as a "hidden stake".
Ten years, ten years is not too late. As long as Nuqiong can exert her value at the most critical and suitable time.
It is worth it if you can conquer Yanzhou, destroy the border defenses of the Tang people, and expand the territory for our great powers, even if you spend another ten years waiting!
So before the war, Ma Chongying learned through a spy that Nu Qiong had successfully married the Ximen Pavilion in Yanzhou City for ten years, so he was very happy. He set up the camp directly opposite the Ximen Gate and raised the Red Lotus Flame Army Flag Flag, with a string of red lanterns tied on it. The purpose of removing one every day was actually to "countdown" and remind Nu Qiong not to forget the mission he shouldered.
"Every Dafan people should sacrifice their lives for the glory of the god Zanpu."
Ma Chongying thought so, and Nu Qiong thought the same way.
Finally, on the night when there was only one lantern left, Nuqiong raised her butcher knife to her husband.
The kindness of being taken care of by herself by her husband, the lovely and sensible child under her knees, the kindness of being taken in by the local people before her death, and the feelings of being together for ten years are not as important as the promise of "I will always be the child of Dafan."
Nuqiong thought that it was enough that he had shed tears for the pavilion chief and his son. The following was the time to repay his parents' country.
Before his death, Wu You already knew Nuqiong’s intentions!
Because the woman's hand was pulling the key tied to his belt.
"You are not allowed to take the key from Ximen, and you are not allowed to trap the people of Yanzhou..." Wu You tried his best to grab Nu Qiong's hand, with only hatred and anger in his eyes, and then Chief Wu Ting shouted even louder.
Nu Qiong twisted the hilt of the knife, flipped the blade, tearing and stirring his internal organs, "Ah, ah!" Wu Ting's fingers were so painful that they could not close. "Don't harm the people of Yanzhou!" He finally roared out this sentence, and a mouthful of blood squirted on Nu Qiong's face.
"Father!" Wu Chi in the cellar shouted heart-wrenchingly.
Qing Yan, who was staying in the dark, could not see what was happening outside. He only knew that something desperate and terrible must have happened, so he squatted down and hugged his head and cried.
Next, Wu Chi saw that her mother pulled out a horizontal knife stained with her father's blood, snatched the key to the fallen father's city gate, and then turned around and seemed to look at her.
My mother's face was covered with blood, and her eyes were cold and decisive.
Soon Nuqiong ran out of the door.
The Ximen Tower is only more than ten meters away from the house where she lives.
"Father, Father..." Wu Chi gritted his teeth and saw his dying father crawling hard in a pool of blood through the gap in the cellar. While looking back at his side, he moved his body out of the door with all his strength.
"Come here, there are spies who want to make money from Ximen! Save, save Yanzhou City..."
In the dusk of Yanzhou City, Chief Wu Ting's last shout came from the yell of his life, and then he stopped abruptly.
However, everything was too late: at the west gate, Nuqiong easily avoided the patrol soldiers, climbed up, opened the viewing building with the key, and then blocked the road in and out with the door latch.
The reddish moon shone in the building. Nuqiong took off the sharp axe from the wall there, walked to the wheel, and then raised it with force and chopped it down!
No success, no success, and no success. Nu Qiong's face was covered with sweat and her hair was distracted, but she gasped, rubbed her neck and forehead, and then raised her axe and continued to slash.
Finally, the rope and the wheel shattered together.
The sleepy Tang soldiers on the Ximen City Tower suddenly heard a sound like a cow's chirping, "What's going on, what's going on?"
The sling at the west gate broke, and the heavy door panel fell down, crossing the moat, smashing up the dust into pieces, forming a short bridge.
The gate of Yanzhou City is open!
Ma Chongying was ambushed on both sides of the moat, and he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this scene.
The Grand Marshal said that Yanzhou City will open when the moon sets for half a day tonight, and it is indeed a magical idea.
The torch was raised, illuminating the hideous faces of the Western British soldiers...
"Fanzi has entered the city from the west gate!"
This shrill cry instantly spread throughout Yanzhou City.
These five hundred foreign soldiers rushed into the west gate, killed everyone, set fire everywhere, and fled everywhere on the streets in the city.
Immediately afterwards, the South Gate, where the fiercest resistance was, the military and civilians of Yanzhou completely collapsed after learning the news.
Du Xiquan shouted loudly and scolded what was going on.
The governor was also in tears.
At the critical moment when reinforcements are coming, why did Fanzi enter the city?
Then the tooth soldiers in the military mansion escorted Du Xiquan and quickly ran to the east gate.
Soon, a raging fire ignited everywhere in Yanzhou City. Ma Chongying, a veteran Western Fan general who was supervising the battle outside the city, looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh proudly: The strategy ten years ago was finally completed tonight!
Yanzhou has belonged to our Dafan.
The Emperor of the Tang family is ready to escape from the capital again! But this time I came, Dafan would never leave. After capturing the capital, I will join forces with the host Da Lun Shang Jiezan to sweep and annihilate all the Tang family soldiers in Jingyuan, Fengxiang, and the capital, and completely break the backbone of the Tang family.
"The commander is really a god!" The chiefs of Dangxiang Fanluo who came to follow him were all in awe and fell to Ma Chongying's boots.
"Yanzhou dared to resist our Dafan sword. After falling into the city, the Dazong will teach the Tang family a lesson for three days." Ma Chongying waved his hand and said this.
Chang'an, in the Daming Palace.
Li Shi stayed outside the screen in the bedroom. At this time, several palace doctors came out one after another, and then talked to the eunuchs in Xuanhuiyuan for a long time before kowtowing to the emperor, then shook his head and sighed, and said goodbye one after another.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's jade body has become a gradual progress..." Several eunuchs bowed their heads before Li Shi, and before they finished speaking, they all kowtowed and cried.
Li Shi's lips were trembling, and her chest seemed to be hit hard, and she was immediately dizzy and her steps were unstable.
No, I cannot lose the imperial concubine.
During the most difficult years when Shaoyang Court was the prince, and during the most dangerous days when she was relocated to Fengtian, she always stayed by my side, gave birth to children for me, managed the inner court for me, and encouraged me. She never complained...
Soon after, the sad cry of Tang An, Yiyang, Deyang and other princesses came from behind the screen, mixed with the faint voice of Concubine Wang: "Don't let Your Majesty come in."
Chapter completed!
