The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

Standing there, Yang Heng didn't ask the ministers to stand up, but instead asked with a gloomy face.

"When did Liu Yue leave?"

"Going back to Long Live, it was yesterday evening."

"Did he have any last words?"

After Wang Hua finished listening, he quickly took out a document from his sleeve, and dragged it in front of Yang Heng with both hands.

A little eunuch next to Yang Heng hurried forward, took the document, and held it in front of Yang Heng's eyes.

Yang Heng took it and opened it to see that the circles of his eyes were a little red.

It turned out that this was a will, an arrangement to explain to Yang Heng what happened after his death.

Although this Liu Yue said he was able to compete for the championship, he seemed to be very shrewd, but his back house was in a mess.

Because he was very favored by Yang Heng, he was also somewhat arrogant and domineering. Besides his regular wife, he also had three concubines.

Among them, the one he loves the most is the third child who just gave birth to a son for him.

When he was dying, Liu Yue was still worried that the third wife would be bullied by the big family after his death, so in the will, he hoped that Yang Heng would give him a title as a child, and then separate the family under Yang Heng's auspices. Let them move out and live on their own.

Yang Heng sighed. Although doing so violated the etiquette, Yang Heng still could not refuse this loyal minister's dying request.

"According to my will, Liu Yue's title of Marquis of An Ding, especially the eldest son, will be inherited. According to Liu Yue's will, I will extrajudicially grant him the title of General Jing'an."

After Yang Heng finished speaking, the little eunuch who was following him quickly waved his hand, and immediately a few people came over and put down a small table. .

After writing the imperial edict, the little eunuch came to Yang Heng with his hands in his hands, knelt down on the ground, and unfolded the imperial edict for Yang Heng to have a look.

Yang Heng took a look and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded, another eunuch hurried forward, brought Yang Heng's seal, and stamped it on the imperial decree.

After finishing all this, Yang Heng entered the big tent under the leadership of Wang Hua, and looked at Liu Yue's remains.

Finally, Yang Heng ordered again to find a good coffin nearby, and then ordered Liu Yue to be carefully settled in it, and then sent down the river back to Nanjing.

After finishing the general's funeral, Yang Heng had the time to start rectifying the army.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the culture was sitting in the barracks, and the army did not make any mistakes, but its morale was a little bit frustrated.

After all, halfway through the journey, the commander of the army died. It was a big setback to the morale of the army camp at any time.

Fortunately, Yang Heng came in person, which made the soldiers regain their courage.

Next, Yang Heng commanded the army to go up the river and came to the docks of the Yangtze River and Chongqing.

Here, the King of Shu has already deployed his army, waiting for Yang Heng to come.

Yang Heng thought that there would be a big water battle here, but when he arrived at the opposite side of the pier, he found that there was no water army stationed here at all.

In fact, the king of Shu also wanted to arrange a navy to fight Yang Heng on the Yangtze River.

However, due to financial and manpower reasons, despite his efforts, his navy still did not take shape.

Therefore, the king of Shu didn't call in the water army, and showed his eyes in front of Yang Heng.

But even so, the King of Shu also deployed [-] elite troops on the shore, trying to prevent Yang Heng's army from approaching the shore.

These [-] elites are already the last belongings of the King of Shu.

Others are some newly recruited soldiers, but they are all camped ten miles away.

The reason why they were not transferred here was that the king of Shu was afraid that they would rebel against Yang Heng during the battle. In the end, not only would they not be able to help, but they would mess up their own army.

On the huge warship, Yang Heng set up an awning to watch the shore, and found that many barriers and fences had been set up there.

But after that, there were not many trebuchets prepared, only a few dozens of giant crossbows.

Seeing this, Yang Heng felt relieved.

Although these giant crossbows are also somewhat dangerous to one's own warships, in water warfare, the most important thing in this era is to rely on the boulders thrown by trebuchets to destroy warships.

So Yang Heng just smiled slightly, and then whispered a few words to Wang Hua who was beside him. Wang Hua took the order and hurried back. After a while, Yang Heng started waving colorful flags on the warship.

These colorful flags were not fluttering, it was Yang Heng issuing orders to the surrounding warships.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen large ships passed Yang Heng's battleship and lined up in front of it, and then dozens of trebuchets were on top of the battleship, throwing huge stones towards the shore.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the shore also started to fight back.

However, the only ones who could attack Yang Heng on their side were those dozens of giant crossbows.

These giant crossbows were only gathered together by the King of Shu after collecting the entire Xichuan.

But then again, due to the age and humidity in Xichuan, these giant crossbows are not well preserved.

Therefore, in terms of range, it is much worse than when it was good.

In the end, when these huge crossbows were shot at the edge of the big ship blocking in front, they were already at the end of their strength and could not be worn out.

But the trebuchet on Yang Heng's side didn't have this kind of trouble. After more than a dozen rounds, the giant crossbows on the King of Shu's side were completely lost, and the horses and fences in front were almost destroyed.

Seeing this scene, Yang Heng waved from the warship again, and countless small warships flew behind him, and each of these small ships carried dozens or hundreds of soldiers.

Under the cover of catapults and crossbows, the soldiers on these small boats quickly occupied a territory on the shore.

At this time, there was a high platform in the phalanx of Shuying, on which stood a middle-aged general in black robe.

This person is either someone else, or the famous King of Shu, Liu He.

This person was originally the chief soldier guarding Shu during the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Later, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was in chaos, it separated the land of Shu to stand on its own.

However, although this person occupies the land of Shu, his ability to govern the region is indeed inferior. Although he occupies the land of abundance, the place is in chaos.

This is not true, he has no capable people under his command, but the king of Shu has just returned to his own use, and he trusts the old people around him, so this makes the land of Shu not develop much, but the people's livelihood is withered.

Some time ago, in order to support King Wu, he allocated more than 3 of his remaining veterans.

As a result, on the banks of the Yangtze River, due to Li Qi's betrayal, almost all of these troops fell under Yang Heng's command.

Now among Yang Heng's 15 troops, several thousand are from Shu. These people have made a lot of contributions to Yang Heng by pointing out the route and checking the hydrology along the way.

Liu He frowned, looking at Yang Heng's troops that kept attacking forward, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.

He turned his head and said to a young man in golden armor next to him: "Second brother, now it's time for you, you lead the team and drive these bastards back into the water for me. "

The young man trembled after hearing this, and then looked at Liu He standing there with a pale face.

But now Liu He was full of determination. It seemed that if he didn't go, Liu He would get angry on the spot. In the end, the young man had no choice but to move down the high platform step by step.

When he got to the bottom, he reluctantly ordered the three thousand cavalry under his command.

Due to the lack of horses in Shu, these three thousand cavalry were already the result of Liu He's desperate search, and it could also be said to be Liu He's last trump card.

The young man led the cavalry around from the left side of the army. Originally, he wanted to charge Yang Heng's army that had already occupied a place from this side, hoping to break Yang Heng's formation.

But just as he approached Yang Heng's formation, suddenly there was a burst of black light in the formation, and countless yin energy rose from the black light.

These things are nothing else, they are the ghosts summoned by Yang Heng with the ghost stick.

Yang Heng hadn't used this treasure for a long time, but this time he was going to land on the beach. If he didn't use some backup, his soldiers might suffer heavy casualties.

That's why Yang Heng made an exception and summoned thousands of ghosts and stored them in a big black box.

General Pioneer has been keeping this black box. Originally, he didn't want to use it, but he saw countless cavalry suddenly appearing on his left side.

He didn't expect that there were so many cavalry in the Shu area, and they couldn't stop them for a while, so he had to use this treasure.

Although the ability of these ghosts is limited under the sun, they are different from ordinary ghosts after all. They have been trained with the ghost stick, and each of them has some skills.

So now, although each of them was in pain from the sun, they still gritted their teeth and floated towards the galloping cavalry.

The young man in golden armor who was rushing towards this side suddenly saw countless ghosts and ghosts flying in front of him. They all bared their teeth and claws, creating a gust of wind in the sky.

How can humans resist this?

Without even thinking about it, the young man immediately turned his horse's head, led his own soldiers, and left the brigade.

His run immediately made the already sparse team even more chaotic.

When the soldiers saw that the leaders had all run away, we were fighting, so they turned their horses one by one, and did not meet these ghosts face to face, just hoping to escape here as soon as possible.

Chapter 683 Please come down

Liu He, the King of Shu, was on the high platform, and he gritted his teeth angrily when he saw that his cavalry had fled before meeting the enemy face to face.

For that young man in golden armor, he now wished he could be hacked into pieces.

This young man really has some kinship with him.

This is the elder brother of one of his favored concubines.

In normal times, this person is boastful in front of him, telling himself that there are few in the sky and nothing in the earth.

But this time when it really came to the truth, he ran away without even meeting each other.

It doesn't matter if you escaped, you arranged a successor for me, what happened now that I was defeated by three thousand cavalry and fled.

With the rout of the last new force, the army on Shu Wang Liu He's side couldn't resist anymore. In just ten minutes, the army in front of him began to rout.

This time Liu He himself couldn't sit still anymore. If he continued to watch the excitement on the high platform, he would be tied up and sent to Yang Heng in a short time.

So he hurriedly got off the high platform, got on his horse, and then fled back with his own soldiers.

This guy is still a little witty. On the way to escape, he ordered his own soldiers to throw away his big flag, and then changed his clothes into the appearance of ordinary soldiers.

In such a mess among the fleeing crowd, Yang Heng really couldn't find that the man on horseback was the King of Shu Liu He he was looking for.

Therefore, this guy successfully escaped the pursuit of Yang Heng's army. When he escaped for more than 100 miles and the sky began to brighten again, he had no choice but to stop and gather the remnants.

As a result, after such an investigation, he almost cried.

Of his 8000 elite, there are only more than [-] people he can gather now.

As for the nearly 2000 recruits after the [-] elite, there are only [-] people who can be gathered.

With such a small force, he might not even have a chance to make a comeback.

Liu He thought for a while with a bitter face. Now there are only two roads in front of him. One is to go back to Chengdu. At that time, by using space for time, maybe another group of people can be pulled out to fight Yang Heng in Chengdu. .

The other is to rush to Chongqing now. With the difficult terrain of Chongqing City, it may be able to withstand Yang Heng's attack.

But after thinking about it, these two methods may not be able to stop Yang Heng in the end.

Who is Yang Heng?Along the way, he fought south and north, and was invincible and invincible.

Just relying on his small territory, he is completely like a car with a mantis arm.

Liu He thought about it for a while, since he couldn't beat him, he might as well surrender.

Then Yang Heng is still a bit tolerant, he surrendered with all the strength of Shu, Yang Heng would not kill himself for the sake of his own face, and if he got into trouble, he would give himself a marquis or other famous title.

After thinking of this, Liu He's mind became active again. If he could save his life and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, there would be nothing wrong with being aggrieved.

The more Liu He thought about it, the more correct his thinking became, and in the end he had made up his mind.

After that, Liu He rushed straight to Chongqing.

When he arrived in Chongqing City, the prime minister he had arranged, Kuang Ran, had already brought three classes of yamen servants to welcome him at the door.

Liu He didn't get off his horse, but nodded, passed through the city gate and entered Chongqing City, and immediately came to the Yamen.

Kuang Ran was inexplicably troubled by Liu He.

In the past, Liu He respected him very much, why is he so rude this time.

In fact, he didn't know that Liu He had long been dissatisfied with Kuang Ran.

This Kuangran was chosen by a wealthy family in Shu.

In the past, there were many constraints on Liu He. If it weren't for Liu He's violent temper for the sake of local stability, he would have chopped this Kuangran into ten petals.

Now that Liu He has decided to surrender to Yang Heng, naturally he won't give this Kuang Ran a good face, because there is no need for it.

Although Liu He didn't give Kuang Ran a good face, Kuang Ran had to follow him to the Yamen.

At this time, Liu He was sitting on the top of the lobby, and seven or eight generals were already standing below.

These generals are not as high-spirited as they were when they went.

Now these people are all downcast, their armor crooked.

Kuang Ran knew they had lost the battle without even asking.
