It seemed that the Beiye Army's offensive against Xiantang City was still continuing, but Lin Ye was keenly aware that Tuoba Lie wanted to do the golden cicada escape again.
Outside Yangzi City in Guzhu, Tuoba Lie had a premonition of danger and immediately left, leaving behind a group of Guzhu people who were being used by him without even a moment's hesitation.
In that battle, the Lone Bamboo rebels were beaten between Ning Shehai and Ning Haitang. Everyone knew that the Lone Bamboo rebels were not the culprits, but no one showed any mercy during the fight.
A rebellion resulted in millions of casualties on Guzhu's side. The rebels suffered nearly a million casualties, and the civilians suffered even greater casualties.
The Dongbo Rebellion, coupled with the Loufan people moving south, probably caused more than 7 to 8 million casualties in just over a year.
For a country like Dongbo, the population has dropped by one-third, and half of them are still young men. Such a huge loss of vitality is painful to the bones.
Lone Bamboo may not be able to retaliate for such a blow in ten years, and Dongbo may not be able to recover in twenty years.
Lin Ye, who had been watching the movements of the Beiye Army, saw the changes.
The main army began to move to the north of Xiantang City. Most of those who stayed in the south of Xiantang City were Dongbo rebels.
Lin Ye saw it, but there was no way to stop it.
In fact, Tuoba Lie's Beiye Army did not suffer much losses, and those who attacked the city were all Dongbo people.
He lost some troops in Guzhu and 20,000 men in Liyang City.
At this time, there are at least 60,000 Beiye warriors under his command who are good at fighting.
Even if Lin Ye is crazy, he can't rely on the Dongbo people to defeat the 60,000 Beiye army who are armed to the teeth.
But Lin Ye could keep an eye on it.
No matter where Tuoba Lie retreats, he can't let people go.
At this time, Lin Ye didn't know that Liyang City had been captured, and neither did Tuoba Lie.
So Lin Ye understood that Tuoba Lie should either go west, all the way to the more wild Western Region, and go there to carve out a piece of the country.
Or go to Liyang City. There is a granary in Liyang and he can defend it, but that is not the best choice.
He dispatched scouts and stared at the main force of the Beiye Army, unable to relax for a moment.
Four days later, the Dongbo rebels in the south of the city were the first to be unable to withstand the pressure.
What puts pressure on them is not the enemies they cannot defeat, but the relatives they dare not defeat.
Under this kind of offensive, what disintegrated was their fighting spirit and what was eliminated was their courage.
But even so, it was not very possible to expect the Dongbo rebels to surrender to Lin Ye.
Give them two choices, escape or surrender, how could they choose the latter?
One after another, rebel soldiers continued to abandon their weapons and leave the camp.
At first, there were still people restraining them and others blocking them. After two days, even the people restraining them ran away.
Who would have thought that such a vigorous siege battle would end so hastily.
It was almost exactly the same as when he was in Guzhuyangzicheng. Sensing danger, Tuoba Lie left immediately.
Compared with his character of never shrinking from more than ten years ago, this seems to be a completely different decision made by one person.
Back then on the Dongbo battlefield, people in Loufan would tremble with fear whenever Tuoba Lie's name was mentioned.
What the Loufan people fear most is the attack of the Beiye Army, because once the horn sounds, the Beiye Army will never look back.
For the Kitano Army, offense is their only tactic.
After another four or five days, not only the rebels in the south of the city disintegrated, but the rebels in several other directions also began to collapse.
Lin Ye did not enter the city, of course he knew that Yu Yu Chengchang must be looking forward to him entering the city.
He also knew that as long as he entered the city, Yuyu Chenghao would welcome him in the most solemn and warmest way.
However, Lin Ye was not interested.
The only thing he has to do now is to stare at Tuoba Lie personally.
Two days later, Lin Ye determined that the rebels had no fighting spirit, so he asked the Dongbo people to press forward tentatively.
The people linked arms and encouraged each other to move forward.
They walked all the way to the foot of Xiantang City, and no rebels stopped them.
At this moment, the people burst into earth-shaking cheers, and the Dongbo defenders on the city wall also shouted hoarsely.
People who have not experienced it cannot imagine what kind of scene this is.
Crying, shouting, and laughing.
Yu Yucheng hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened, and the soldiers moved all the blocking things away like crazy.
The king, who had not left the city wall for who knows how many days, strode out of the city. He really wanted to thank Lin Ye and greet his subjects.
The cowardly army did not appear outside the city gate. After Yu Yucheng looked around hastily, he knew that he might not see Lin Ye.
On the fourth day after Lin Ye left with the cavalry, Tuoba Yunxi arrived.
After learning that Lin Ye was chasing the Beiye Army and leaving, Tuoba Yunxi did not even enter Xiantang City and ordered the chase.
Five days later, the infantry of the Cowardly Army led by Feng Xiu himself hurried over. He did not expect that the battle of Xiantang would end in this way, but it seemed familiar.
Chen Weiwei didn't expect it either.
But this does not prevent him from entering the city. He does not care if others do not enter. He wants to enter.
Because he still has to see Yuyu Chengchang, he needs Yuyu Chengchang to fulfill his promise.
Although Liyang City was not defeated with his help, although the rescue of Xiantang City seemed to have nothing to do with him.
But Chen Weiwei must get status from Dongbo, which is a step for him to return to Dayu in the future.
At the gate of the city, Chen Weiwei looked back and saw Tuoba Yunxi and a few people getting off the carriage, then abandoning the supposedly important carriage, and all got on their horses and left.
Chen Weiwei suddenly felt very sad, and then he felt jealous, so cruel that even he couldn't accept it.
Those people were going after Lin Ye, especially those women...
When Chen Weiwei looked back, he exhaled heavily subconsciously.
He didn't admit that he was jealous, he just thought it was a disgusting thing.
He felt extremely disgusted by a man who relied on women to make his fortune.
At the same time, the Beiye Army had retreated, and the tens of thousands of troops were heading southwest instead of heading due south back to Liyang City.
Tuoba Lie knew very well that if he could not attack Xian Tang, then his people could not defend Li Yang.
With the character of Emperor Jade, he has probably laid out a dragnet in this winter.
Still because of Emperor Jade's character, he would not let Tuoba Lie leave Dongbo alive. Because Tuoba Lie gained the name of God of War in Dongbo, then let this God of War die in Dongbo.
In Tuoba Lie's opinion, the emperor is a pervert.
For Tuoba Lie to be defeated in Dongbo, it would be better to be defeated by the cowardly army and die by the cowardly army. In the eyes of the emperor, this is a reincarnation and an end.
Yunzhou.
The emperor wore casual clothes, and the only person following him was Concubine Wan Gui.
The two of them were like ordinary couples, walking around on this bustling street when they had free time.
Concubine Wan Gui would smile from time to time when she looked at the emperor dressed as an old rich man.
The emperor sighed: "I have already adapted in advance to the life I will spend with you in the future, but you still can't adapt?"
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "I laughed because I already felt how beautiful that day was."
Emperor: "Bah."
He said: "You are only laughing because you think the clothes I am wearing are funny."
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "I chose the clothes for Your Majesty, why should I laugh?"
The emperor said: "Because I must look like a rich man who just broke out. If you match it like this, I don't believe it if you say you didn't mean it."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "I dress His Majesty in a more rustic style to protect His Majesty."
Emperor: "Unexpectedly, you don't have a reasonable explanation, you are just talking nonsense."
Concubine Wan Gui: "Your Majesty is wearing rustic clothes, so there will naturally be fewer women who are attracted to His Majesty, and I will feel more at ease."
Tianzidao stopped.
He looked around and then nodded: "Then you succeeded. I saw at least three or four scammers, and they are already thinking about how to defraud me, a rich man, of his gold and silver."
Concubine Wan Gui: "It doesn't matter, they are all men."
The emperor glanced at her.
After walking for a while, Gu Xiujin trotted all the way to catch up from behind.
When he came closer, he lowered his voice and said: "Sage, Dongbo battle report, Princess Tuoba Yunxi persuaded the rebels in Liyang City to surrender."
The emperor hummed, not seeming to be surprised.
Concubine Wan Gui sighed softly.
The emperor looked at her: "You are thinking about Yunxi. She is going to meet Tuoba Lie after all."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "No matter what, it is a knot in her heart. If she doesn't go to see it in person, she will never let go in the future. She begged His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed, because His Majesty understands her heart."
The emperor nodded: "Yes."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Your Majesty, are you really not going to tell Yun Xi the truth?"
The Emperor said: "She is so smart that few others can match her. Even if I don't tell anyone and I don't allow others to tell me, she can think of something herself."
Concubine Wan Gui sighed softly again because of these words.
Who can truly understand the pain in Tuoba Yunxi's heart.
"It's okay not to say anything."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "If we don't say anything anyway, then she and Lin Ye should still have some drama."
The emperor was stunned.
He stopped and stood looking at Concubine Wan Gui, looking at this eighth-wife woman with complicated eyes.
He hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but ask: "Does the state of cultivation really have nothing to do with Babu Bapo?"
Concubine Wan Gui said: "No."
She said seriously: "Not only does it have nothing to do with the realm of cultivation, it has nothing to do with men and women."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile: "Zhenzhao Zhenren, who is not a bitch?"
The emperor thought for a while and nodded: "It's reasonable and well-founded."
Then he said: "That's not right. Ordinary men are probably not as good as the eight masters, so it has something to do with the level of cultivation. The higher the level, the better."
Concubine Wan Gui burst into laughter because of these words.
The Emperor turned back to look at Gu Xiujin and said, "I will go back right away. Send someone to deliver the message. Everyone of the fourth rank and above will come. I have something to say."
"yes."
Gu Xiujin responded quickly, turned around and went to order people to do things, coughing as he walked.
The injury sustained in Lone Bamboo probably won't be easy to heal since it has such a root cause.
The emperor looked back at him, obviously there was still some pain in his eyes, but suddenly, inexplicably, he smiled again.
He said: "Look at Xiao Gu, he is also adapting to the future life. His clothes are... more tacky."
Speaking of which, he added: "It's very earthy."
Concubine Wan Gui asked: "But, I guess, Your Majesty will not take Xiao Gu with him in the future."
The emperor hummed: "I owe him. I can't take away all the most caring and capable people."
Concubine Wan Gui smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty, and for bringing the most considerate person like me."
Emperor: "What a compliment, go back and change these clothes quickly."
Having said this, he looked back and saw the woman in white following from behind.
He slowed down for a moment, then waved towards the woman in white.
It doesn’t mean that you come over, but that...if you want to go, go ahead.
The woman in white stopped, and after a moment, she bowed deeply to the emperor, then turned and left.
The emperor said as if talking to himself: "I have even let myself go, so I can't let them go anymore."
