Murong Ke retreated, and Li Yue waited for the prince's order from Yecheng.
If the name is not right, the words will not go smoothly. Li Yue hopes to annex the remaining forces of Ran Wei in a legitimate way. If they know better, it will be a happy ending for everyone.
After all, Ran Wei has run out of gas, and Yecheng is feeding on people, so there is no need to hold on any longer.
What was waiting for him was an inexplicable order: The General of the Fu Army, Yue Weiwu Mingju, generously went to the national disaster, drove out Murong, stabilized the country, restored the country, and made great contributions to the reconstruction of the Wei Dynasty. He will take the throne of Qi State today, and grant Yu Bao, Promote and defend the land...
At the end of the order, five hundred thousand stones of grain were offered to alleviate the famine in Ye.
Li Yue looked over and over again, wondering if Prince Ran Zhi was not thinking clearly.
Can't you even tell the current situation clearly?
But if you think about it carefully, it's natural. If you don't shed tears until you see the coffin, and if you don't have the knife on your neck, you will always have a trace of fantasy.
Zhang Shengye cupped his hands and said, "The prince is eleven years old. This order was issued by General Wei Jiang Qian, General Long Xiang Liu Chong, Attendant Miao Song, and Zhan Shi Liu Yi."
Li Yue originally wanted everyone to be more decent and restrained, but now it seems that this is wishful thinking.
"How are Liu Qun and Dong Run doing?"
"The two fled back to Yecheng and were both controlled by Jiang Gan."
"It seems like this group of people want to make a final struggle?" Li Yue took a deep breath.
Murong Ke retreated, but Yecheng still had a population of nearly one million. After Ran Min issued the order to kill the Hu people, he suddenly had a whim and appointed King Ran Yin of Taiyuan as the Great Chanyu in an attempt to ease the relationship with the Hu people.
Therefore, there are still a considerable number of Hu people in Yecheng.
These people naturally have no favorable impressions of Yanzhou, Heiyun Army, and Li Yue.
"Send the order, all armies must assemble and follow someone into Ye." Li Yue made a prompt decision and could not give this group of people time to breathe, otherwise there would be another split in Yecheng.
The Black Cloud Army quickly gathered together, with Cui Jin and Jia Jian leading their troops behind them, and marched toward Yecheng with great momentum.
Along the way, all the villages around Yecheng were reduced to ruins. As far as the eye could see, the sky was filled with grass. The south wind blew and the grass was disturbed, startling the wild beasts among them, and revealing the blackened bones under the grass.
The weather in early summer only makes people feel chilly.
The closer we get to Yecheng, the more putrid the smell becomes.
Even the Black Cloud soldiers who fought out of the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses often felt uncomfortable.
Liyang is not far from Yecheng, and it only takes two days' march.
Looking at the solemn Heiyun Army, the gate of Yecheng opened obediently.
Gao Yun came forward with a group of Heiyun Lang, followed by a group of Ran Wei generals. In the middle was a young man, slightly thin, with frightened eyes and a confused face. Without thinking, he knew that it was Ran Min's prince Ran Zhi.
"Greetings to the Governor!" Gao Yun and a group of black cloud warriors half knelt on the ground.
Li Yue held his hands up, "It's all thanks to you to defeat Murong Ke this time!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Everyone said "swish", stood up very ably, and stood behind Li Yue as usual, making General Ran Wei behind him look at him.
"Your Majesty, Li Yue, pays homage to His Highness!" Li Yue stepped forward and raised his hand to Ran Zhi.
As if frightened by the evil aura carried by Li Yue, Ran Zhi hurriedly hid behind someone.
Li Yue was stunned by this move. Ran Min was a hero, he met gods and killed gods, met Buddhas and killed Buddhas. He didn't expect that his son would be so timid.
"Your Highness, you have been exposed to the cold recently. I hope Mr. Qi will not take it personally." The person in front of Ran Zhi had a loyal smile on his face.
Li Yue looked at this man. He was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, thin and thin, with a short beard under his lips. His temperament was more like that of a scribe, but he wore a double tail on his head, a crimson robe, a belt around his waist, and a long sword on his left hand. , looking like a military attache.
Before Li Yue could ask, the man took the initiative and said, "Jiang Qian, I would like to pay my respects to Duke Qi."
He is quite humble in his words and deeds.
"Greetings to Duke Qi!" A group of generals and officials around him followed suit.
"Everyone is very polite." Li Yue returned the courtesy with his hands raised, but still wanted to make some superficial remarks, "Now that your majesty is hunting in the north, good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable. How dare Yue'an accept the position of Qi Gong? This matter cannot be mentioned again."
Taking over Qi Gong would be equivalent to acknowledging the control of Jiang Qian and others over Yecheng.
This is according to their rules.
A strange color flashed in Jiang Gan's eyes.
"Where are Liu Lingjun and General Dong?" Li Yue glanced at everyone. Ran Wei only had one piece of skin left. These people were still thinking carefully, which made people feel pitiful and ridiculous.
"The two of them are unwell...recuperating in the mansion..." Jiang Gan looked calm, but there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
Li Yue's words actually hit his vital point directly.
Ran Min was captured alive, and Yedu's military and political affairs could not get their turn no matter what.
"Not feeling well?" Li Yue stared at him, "Gao Yun and Zhang Shengye each command 500 soldiers. Go and invite the two of them. Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed immediately!"
"Take orders!"
The two of them led the Black Cloud Army and went out in high spirits.
The scene suddenly became a little deserted. Li Yue was too lazy to talk to them anymore and waved his hand, "Enter the city!"
Without waiting for Jiang Gan, he walked at the front, escorted by his personal guards, and walked into Ye City step by step.
"Long live! Long live the Governor!"
Violent shouts suddenly broke out inside and outside the city wall.
The people and soldiers of Yecheng shouted one after another, and the sound shook the sky, as if the torrent that had been suppressed for a long time was completely released.
The loudness of the voice surprised Li Yue.
The eyes of the people are sharp, and they know who can save them.
They are waiting for a real hero!
Looking at the people in ragged clothes, with sallow faces and unkempt hair, Li Yue felt bitterness in his heart. In the long history of darkness, they had been enslaved like cattle and horses, and slaughtered like cattle and horses. They were hungry and cold, the water was hot, and fresh. There are days when there is plenty of food and clothing.
But it is this group of people who have sustained China's heritage and preserved a glimmer of hope for the ethnic group.
So many alien races that were once tyrannical either fell at their feet or blended in and disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly, Li Yue clearly felt his mission.
Jiang Gan and others behind him had earth-colored faces.
Li Yue walked silently through the crowd, accepting the cheers of the people, and walked towards the palace.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done.
The stronger you are, the more support you will get from them. If you are timid, you will not only harm yourself, but also those who follow you.
The palace gate was originally closed, but as Li Yue got closer and closer, the defenders cheered along with the crowd, opened the city gate, and welcomed Li Yue.
Li Yue stepped into the palace without hesitation.
In the palace, there were no flowers as imagined, but a ruin. The palace maids kneeling on the floor in front of them were so dense that they could not be seen to the end.
Like the people outside the palace, who were sallow, thin, and disheveled, instead of being frightened when they saw the Black Cloud Army, they were relieved.
In the corner, there are still more than a dozen female corpses piled up, and there are traces of gouging on the corpses...
Among the palace ladies, more than a dozen female officials walked out with a girl in their arms. She was wearing a royal robe and a beaded crown on her head, looking graceful and luxurious.
"I pay my respects to the queen." Li Yue cupped his hands.
