The heavy rainstorms for several consecutive days caused the Cangjiang River to soar. The originally clear river water became dim and turbid. It changed its gentle image and poured down from the upstream with a rumbling roar, violently slamming the river embankment. The originally dense flood control forests under the river embankment are now only some of the treetops left on the water surface, swaying in dismay.

The rain is still falling, not as fierce as the previous few days, floating in the breeze in fine lines. It looks small but not heavy, but it makes people feel sticky and very uncomfortable.

Yueguo capital Yuejing is located on the bank of Cangjiang River. This is an ancient city. Thousands of years ago, Emperor Li Qing unified the world and set up the Yuejing Governor's Office to control the vast mountainous areas in the northeast. Among these mountainous areas, dozens of ethnic groups are distributed, with strong people and brave fighting. If they disagree, they will draw their swords to face each other. The fighting among the tribes is as common as a daily routine. Before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the mountain people here recruited peace and rebelled as if they were playing houses. Give them some sweetness and they announced that they would surrender to the court. Once they could not satisfy their opinions, they would immediately turn against each other.

Even with the ability of Emperor Li Qing back then, there was no way to fight them? It was too unworthy. The vast mountainous areas were their natural invisibility. When more people went, they packed up and hid deeper into the mountains. You had no choice but to do anything. If fewer people went, these mountain tribes would join forces and set up one trap after another in the mountains, so that the army that entered the mountains to wipe out them would never return.

From ancient times to the present, they seem to be a place beyond the law.

Of course, Emperor Li Qing was obviously different from everyone before. He adopted an unusual strategy. After establishing the Yuejing Governor's Office, the Tang Dynasty at that time made a strategy of governing this land that lasted for a hundred years. First, he showed his goodness and established a good relationship with the mountain tribe. The second step was to lure them down the mountain and start with the children of the tribe leader. The flower world at the foot of the mountain was naturally not comparable to the boring life in the mountain, but in order to make Yuejing better attractive, the Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money on Yuejing. The third step was to educate. A large number of scholars were sent to Yuejing to open schools for free, and teach the children of the mountain people to read and read for free.

This national policy that cost countless times and lasted nearly a hundred years was finally achieved when Emperor Li Qing left this world. Most of the mountain tribes went down the mountain and left the place where their ancestors lived for generations, because outside the mountain could give them a better life, and their children were unwilling to return to the mountains after receiving the education of the Tang Dynasty.

The world outside the mountain is more colorful.

Most of the mountain tribes went down the mountain, but the rest were still stubborn. The mountain tribes that adhered to the tribe's characteristics were no longer ambition. Moreover, with the guidance of those mountain tribes who went down the mountain, more mountain tribes who were familiar with the situation of the mountain entered the army, which also led to these tribes that were defending the mountain repeatedly defeated and almost exterminated their clans.

Although Yuejing is located in the northeast and far away from the prosperous areas of the Central Plains, its urban scale and cultural, educational and martial arts are not inferior to any central city in the Central Plains.

More than a hundred years ago, the Cao family usurped the throne. Wu Xiushan, the then governor of the Yuejing Governor's Office, took advantage of the situation and proclaimed himself emperor. In the subsequent battle with Qi, relying on joining forces with Qin and Chu, he forced the Qi family to retreat. In the following decades, the three kingdoms of Yue, Qin and Chu always formed an alliance to fight against Qi together, and ultimately forced Qi to recognize their status. The four countries divided the world pattern of the Tang Dynasty, which was formed.

Among the four countries, Yue Kingdom has nearly half of its territory in mountainous areas, and the richest plain area borders Qi. After decades, wars have continued to stop and cannot be restored. The national strength has always steadily ranked last among the four countries. However, as one of the iron triangles to fight against Qi, Yue Kingdom has an extremely important position. For nearly a hundred years, it seems to be in danger, but it has always stood firm.

Today, a hundred years later, Yue finally felt the crisis of destruction for the first time.

Qin State suffered the biggest drought in a century, and the old emperor of Chu State died of illness. Both countries were in a panic and the situation was extremely tense. Emperor Cao Tiancheng of Qi keenly seized this rare opportunity in a century and brazenly launched the war against Vietnam again.

Qi does not need to be prepared, because since the founding of the century, every emperor of this country has always been working on unifying the world and repeating the former beautiful dream of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Qi has always been preparing to go to the battlefield at any time to defeat three, but it has forced the three countries to take a defensive momentum, which shows the strength of Qi.

With the order of Emperor Cao Tiancheng of Qi, the Qi army, commanded by Prince Cao Yun, crossed the border and raided Yue Kingdom. Yue Kingdom lacked the estimate of the crisis of form and was about to collapse. The rich plains near Qi have now almost been lost. Losing this area is a fatal blow to Yue Kingdom's national strength.

Just when the government and the country were in a state of grief, the rapidly advancing Qi team suddenly slowed down, and the conditions for the truce also spread to Yuejing.

The State of Yue must tear up the alliance treaty with Qin and Chu, and instead declare an alliance with Qi, cede land and pay compensation, and send a hostage to Chang'an, the capital of Qi.

Under the conditions of being unable to reach the military front of Qi, Qin and Chu were unable to take care of themselves and unable to rescue them, the peace faction of Yue State gained the upper hand and decided to sign a treaty with Qi.

The most core part of the signing of the treaty was that the country of Yue would not be allowed to station large troops on the border of Qi and Yue, and all troops must be transferred to the border of Qin and Chu. In return, the country of Qi would return half of the land occupied by Yue to the country of Yue.

Once this treaty broke out, the government and the people immediately became furious, especially the pro-war faction responded strongly. If they agreed to Qi's conditions, it would be like washing their necks clean and stretching them under the butcher knife of Qi. Whenever Qi wanted to cut them, they would cut them. Yuejing was at the junction of the eastern plains and the northern mountainous areas. If there was no troops stationed in this area, the Qi army could advance straight in at any time.

Such harsh and inequality conditions also made the royal family of Yue hesitate. Just as the war faction was about to regain the upper hand, Cao Yun's army attacked again. Within ten days, he captured ten cities in a row, and his troops were less than a hundred miles away from Yuejing.

The military defeats finally became the last straw that broke the main war faction. Emperor Wu Jian of Yue decided to agree to Qi's conditions. At this time, the new conditions for Qi came unexpectedly.

The new conditions required the Yue State court to kill the main war faction, and Cao Yun even issued a detailed list.

The first one on the list is the Yue State general family and the Luo family. As the leader of the main war faction, Luo Kuan, the head of the Luo family, is in charge of the Ministry of War. Most of the children in the family are in the army. Luo Yishui is the chief general of Zhaoguan, the largest pass on the Qi Yue border, and is in charge of tens of thousands of troops. Although he has lost consecutive battles, he is still opposite the Qi army, constantly gathering the defeated troops and organizing resistance. In order to create a good atmosphere for negotiations, Qi State gave Luo Yishui precious time. Under the eyes of the Qi people, he gathered the 50,000 Yue troops who were defeated one after another on the front line, becoming an extremely annoying stumbling block in front of the Qi people.

This time, Luo Yishui learned from the previous defeat. The current Vietnamese team could not face the Qi army head-on. With these 50,000 troops, Luo Yishui fought and retreated. Although he was still losing the city, he effectively preserved his strength, which made Qi State extremely angry, from the emperor to the commander Cao Yun.

The two countries of Qi and Yue have been fighting for a hundred years, and the two countries have had deep grudges. If Luo Yishui continues to do this, I am afraid that more and more people will gather together. This grand strategy of Qi will form a strong convergence, which will affect the next opportunity for Qi to go to war against Chu. Qi does not want to go to war with Chu, behind him, a tough Yue king-in-chief who will lead the army and threaten Qi at all times.

But Luo Yishui is also a veteran with rich experience on the battlefield. Now he has become a slippery guy. It is easy to defeat him on the front battlefield, but it is impossible to wipe out his army. Since that is the case, let the masters and soldiers of Yue come to deal with him.

Under the threat of the Qi ** team, with the continuous force of the domestic peace faction, the Emperor Wu Jian of Yue finally compromised, Yuejing City began a large-scale purge, and the main battle faction led by Luo Kuan was taken down in one go.

The palace guards had already taken the imperial edict to Luo Yishui's camp. They would directly seize power and behead Luo Yishui on the spot. In Yuejing, the final treatment of the Luo family had been issued. Under the pressure of Qi envoys, the Luo family would be killed by the whole family.

Today is the last day of the Luo family in this world.

Above the Cangjiang embankment, there is a wide stone platform, and the embankment is protruded from a distance from the edge of the platform, and below the platform is the Cangjiang River. This is not the viewing platform of Cangjiang, but the execution platform specially used by Yuejing to kill prisoners.

Under the embankment, there were already countless people from Yuejing. The Luo family was an ancient family, together with the royal Wu family, who settled here as early as the Tang Dynasty. For many years, it has been a famous general family in Yue. In the more than 100 years of history of the Yue Kingdom, there were countless people who died in the battle between the Luo family and were deeply loved by the people.

Loyal ministers have never had a good ending since ancient times. The Luo family's fate seems to be confirming this law again. Looking at the Luo family's sect kneeling on the ground by the executioner on the high platform, there was a faint crying sound among the prisoners.

The whole family was killed, from the white-haired old man to the infant in his infancy, today all the souls were cut off. Luo Kuan knelt in the front, and under him was the surging water of the Cangjiang River. He still raised his head stubbornly and stared at Zhang Ning, the left prime minister of Yue Kingdom who was in charge of the execution, and the leader of the master and sect of Yue Kingdom.
