Seeing this scene, some ghost soldiers immediately started shouting in surprise: "He's dead! He's dead!"
"Yan Zheng is dead——"
Excited shouts came and went.
It can be seen from this that what Yan Zhengyi means to the Ghost Army.
Not long after, the Ghost King also rode over on a war horse and walked over slowly.
"Your Majesty the King!" Seeing him, all the soldiers gave way.
The Ghost King lightly smashed the horse's belly, walked to Yan Zheng's body, glanced at it first, and then sneered: "Hmph! This man is hateful! Cut off his head! Hang it on the Zhenyang Tower!"
Hearing this, the general of the Ghost Army who had fought with Yan Zheng many times could not help but move his lips and said cautiously: "This, Your Majesty the King, although Yan Zheng is an enemy general, his backbone is something that all the generals of the Huan Army do not possess. Yes, it deserves our respect."
On the battlefield, although they are enemies, this does not affect the views of both parties on each other. It is normal for ghosts to say so.
But the Ghost King glared at him: "That's why! That's why we have to hang his head! Isn't he a national hero in the Central Plains! Then let the people of the Central Plains see the fate of the hero!"
After shouting fiercely, Gui lowered his body and responded quickly: "Yes, yes..."
"Hmph!" The Ghost King snorted again, and then waved his hand: "Garrison in Zhenyang!"
Under his order, the army began to advance and directly crossed the South Pass. Some ghost troops also stepped forward and cut off Yan Zheng's head with a machete.
There was no conversation all the way. This place is very close to Zhenyang, and the ghost army did not bring any baggage. It was almost noon and the army had already entered the city.
According to the peace treaty, the entire Zhenyang County, including all counties, townships, and even villages, was transferred to the Gui tribe by Huan Guo.
This is not a small place. The population near the county seat alone is hundreds of thousands. Including the seven counties under its jurisdiction, the total number of people is about 1.3 million.
But because of Yan Zheng's desperate defense, the ghost army has been unable to occupy Zhenyang. To this day, there is no common people left in the city, not to mention the shadow of a ghost, not even a shadow of a ghost can be seen.
The ghost army occupied the city and kept arresting men as slaves and women as prostitutes. You can imagine who would dare to stay here.
Looking at the empty streets, the Ghost King was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He roared angrily: "Damn Yan Zheng! He blocked my army for more than ten days! It caused the people to flee! What's the point of having such an empty city now!"
You must know that when there are people, there is labor force and materials, wealth can be created.
But this huge empty city can only be used as a military camp for the Ghost King.
At this point, the battle at Nanguankou ended. All five thousand soldiers under Yan Zheng's command were killed in the battle, and no one was spared.
This may be the most fierce and tough battle the Huan army has fought since the war.
But in the end they were outnumbered.
But Yan Zheng and his men actually saved 1.3 million people with their own lives.
To put it simply, without his disobedience, Huan Guo signed an agreement with the Ghost King and the Huan Army retreated. The Ghost Army would quickly occupy Zhenyang with lightning speed, and it would be impossible for the people to escape at that time.
For such a feat, one can imagine how the Chinese people could not praise him.
When the news came out that he and his five thousand subordinates were all killed in battle, it shocked the entire Huan Dynasty!
Especially the more than one million people in Zhenyang County who fled to the rear screamed out in grief.
Huayang.
The largest number of people gathered here, all of whom had escaped earlier.
At this time, countless people gathered on the main street, like a demonstration.
"Although the general dies, his heroic spirit will never die!"
"Although the general dies, his heroic spirit will never die——"
"Give me back Zhenyang!"
"Give me back Zhenyang——"
Countless people shouted in unison. The whole city was overcrowded and there were crowds of people everywhere.
And the more they gather, the more they gather.
Inside the Huayang official residence.
An officer was sitting behind the case, his eyes slightly closed.
Not long after, an officer came quickly, clasped his fists and shouted urgently: "Sir! Things are getting bigger and bigger!"
"I heard it." The official still closed his eyes, and the shouts of the people could be faintly heard here.
"Then...then we don't care? This is a gathering of people to make trouble." The officer said tentatively.
"Care? How to care!?" The official finally opened his eyes and glared at the officer: "Now the people in the city are complaining for Yan Zheng! Do you want me to arouse the anger of the world!"
"This..." The officer swallowed and did not dare to speak.
With such people's support, how can officials come forward? If he really dares to let the officers and soldiers arrest him, under the instigation of thoughtful people, the people will probably smash his official office!
This matter was causing commotion everywhere in Huandi, and it naturally spread to the court.
In the court meeting hall, King Huan's face looked a little gloomy.
Guo Kai then went out and said: "Your Majesty, these unruly people are just gathering people to cause trouble! In a big way, they are committing rebellion! In the opinion of humble ministers, we should order the local governments to take forceful measures, especially against China. Yang Yi Di can be used as the main strike! As long as this place is calmed down, the chaotic noise will naturally stop."
King Huan had actually considered this issue, but he did not dare to make a decision lightly.
Huan Xiang Qiu Rong sneered: "Huh! The people are just mourning the death of General Yan Zheng. Why are they committing rebellion? Do they have organized armed forces to resist the imperial court? Lord Guo said the matter like this. What is it? What’s the intention! Do you want the foreign enemies to retreat and civil strife to rekindle!?”
He asked questions one after another, and Guo Kai suddenly became a little anxious: "What does the Prime Minister mean by this? I'm a low-ranking official. I'm just sharing the worries of the king."
Qiu Rong wanted to say something more, but King Huan interrupted him impatiently: "Okay! Now that the ghost clan has not retreated, it is not suitable for chaos in the country. When the people gather, let them make trouble first. If they have made enough trouble, forget it. ”
The weakness and incompetence of the Huan Kingdom's court had already caused King Huan to lose the popular support of his country without even realizing it.
On the other side, outside Wuxia Pass, is the Allied camp.
Due to the strong military intelligence of the Qin Army, it can be said that Xiao Yuan will quickly receive secret messages for any major events that occur in Huan State.
At this time, the three kings gathered together to discuss whether the Allies should continue to attack Wuxia Pass.
King Ling said: "We have made an alliance and defeated the enemy along the way. We are here to help the Huan Kingdom to expel foreign enemies together. But King Huan is better off. He is in the country and has made peace with the ghost tribe first!"
"What does he mean? It means that the allies help him fight, while he drinks and chats with the Ghost King and just sits back and watches the success or failure, right?"
"Hmph! King Huan is an old man! What a beautiful thought! In this case, I propose that the allies withdraw their troops and let King Huan play with the Ghost King himself!"
His tone was somewhat angry.
When King Xuan heard the words, he did not speak immediately. Instead, his beautiful eyes moved slightly and he began to think secretly.
Xiao Yuan also sighed and shook his head slightly.
