However, General Xiao He couldn't figure it out. Regardless of the overt sentry or secret sentry he arranged, all he got was late false news.

On the other side, a team of 20,000 men led by Gong Yun'ao had an early insight into Xiao He's intentions. While he was still complacent about his great decision, dull shouts of death and short roars spread throughout Dang.

Bushan.

These are two of the most powerful armies, both with glorious records. The two armies faced each other and immediately fell into a melee.

Because the Qing army had been poisoned by the enemy, when they faced the Northern Zhou army, they were filled with indignation and showed their ferocious faces.

Gong Yun, who was on the war horse, took the lead and commanded the vanguard. The marching formation was in an orderly manner. He waved his sword at the soldiers and shouted: "Soldiers, listen to the order, kill them without leaving a trace, charge!"

After speaking, he waved his long sword, and thousands of soldiers rushed out like a flood that burst a dike.

Qing Guo swung bloody swords and spears at the enemy, but the strong man hit them hard and was unable to turn around.

"Kill." Qing Jun shouted angrily, waving his spear, vowing to avenge them for poisoning them.

The morale of Qing's army soared. Gong Yun'ao saw Xiao He rushing to the front from a distance. He curled up his lips, sneered, and rode to fight. His momentum swept thousands of troops for tens of thousands of miles.

Diffuse smoke and low howling, the entire Dangbu Mountain was enveloped and annihilated by the brutal atmosphere of this primitive fighting.

Gradually, the Northern Zhou army fell into a disadvantage, and its offensive became weaker and weaker, while the Qing army became more and more fierce.

Gong Yun'ao narrowed his cold eyes, picked up the bow and arrow next to him, drew the bow to its full capacity, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot towards Xiao He like a stream of light.

Xiao He looked horrified, the arrow was as fast as lightning, and he couldn't dodge it. With a "Puff" sound, the arrow hit his chest heavily, and bright red blood spurted out.

Xiao He was still gasping for breath and said: "Call the gold and withdraw the troops."

The few remaining Beizhou soldiers fled downstream. They only had 100,000 troops in their country, while Beizhou Zhou had 100,000 people, which was twice as many as them, but it ended in such a dismal way.

In this battle, the 100,000-strong army caused heavy losses to the Northern Zhou army. Many died, some fled, and some surrendered. The famous God of War, Xiao He, lost seven cities in a row and had to escape overnight.

After this battle, Gong Yunao became famous overnight.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty will no longer be invincible, but there will be a God of War in Qing State who can sweep thousands of armies, be invincible and dominate the world.

The meeting hall of Qingguo Military Camp

The candlelight flickered, reflecting his handsome profile. Looking at the secret letter in his hand, his eyes were sharp. Immediately, the force in his palm shattered the secret letter.

If not for a sudden change, he would have destroyed the Northern Zhou Dynasty tonight. However, time did not wait for us, and now, he had to make a decision.

When General Fei Jiang saw this, he couldn't help but frown. It seemed that there was going to be a bloody war in Daqing's palace.

Daqing Kyoto

That night, Gong Zhaochang entered the palace overnight. He looked at the languid Emperor Qing on the bed, with regret in his eyes, "Father, I don't want to go to the fiefdom. Please accept the decree."

When Emperor Qing heard this, he was suddenly startled, "Zhaochang, the imperial edict has been issued, do you want to resist it?" After a pause, he softened his tone and said, "Go to the fiefdom tomorrow!"

When Gong Zhaochang heard this, he became extremely cold and indifferent, unlike the gentle and kind person he usually was.

He stared at Qing Huang with a confused look on his face and said: "Father, why do you force my son to go to the fiefdom? What are you worried about? Or are you deliberately testing my son? Are you worried that my son has evil intentions and will not change his ambition?

Or is it to test whether my son will find his way back after going astray?"

Qinghuang didn't expect that he would get straight to the point and look into his unwilling eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard him say again:

"My son understands that if he goes to the fiefdom in compliance with your order, he will know that he has returned from the wrong way, and it will be the last dignity given by the father to him. However, if he chooses to stay, he will be stubborn and unrepentant in his ambition. Then, father

Do you want to abandon your sons and ministers and help the third son to sit on the throne of the prince?"

"Father, what exactly makes you dissatisfied with me? Are you always on guard against me?" At the end of the sentence, Gong Zhaochang almost shouted angrily.

His voice was like a tiger's, resounding throughout the palace. Even Emperor Qing did not expect that he would be so angry and dare to be so angry.

Seeing that he had made his words clear, Emperor Qing coughed twice and admitted: "What are you dissatisfied about? Don't you know it in your heart? You have personal relationships with ministers and formed cliques for personal gain. I have done my best to tolerate you until now."

"It's not that I haven't given you a chance, it's that you don't cherish it. You have long coveted the throne. How can I allow you to be in the capital?"

Hearing this, Gong Zhaochang raised his head and laughed wildly, "Haha... It turns out that the father has long been unable to tolerate his son. You have long been suspicious of his son. You know that his power is getting stronger and stronger..."

"So, you can't wait to make the third son the King of Jin, just to balance the power and control your son? Haha! Is this what you call the most benevolent and righteous way to treat your son?"

"Ha! What a pity! Prince Jin doesn't appreciate your kindness. Do you think he will be grateful to you for doing this? He is as deep-minded as he is. Just like what the fourth child said, he is back for revenge..."

"Has my father forgotten the harm caused to him by the witchcraft disaster? It's because you don't trust him that such a tragedy happened. The queen died, the princess died, and his uncle also died...

…Who is the culprit? Don’t you know, Father?”

Qinghuang didn't expect that he would poke him at the painful spot, and he was so angry that he said, "You... you are a traitor!"

Gong Zhaochang's eyes were cold, "Nowadays, it is really a troubled time. My father is seriously ill in bed, and my third son is fighting against the enemy outside. I know that I can no longer suppress my son, so I want to call my third son back?"

"It's just that your wishful thinking has come true. Do you think the third child will come back when he becomes an emperor outside?"

At this time, Qinghuang's face turned red and his coughing became rapid. He glared at Gong Zhaochang and said through gritted teeth:

"Guizi, are you settling accounts with my queen? Okay! Okay! You must have been holding these words in your heart for a long time! You finally said them out."

Hearing this, Gong Zhaochang roared angrily: "You're right, I'm going crazy from holding myself back, I've been driven crazy by you... You can't see what I've done over the years, my achievements,

In addition to being suspicious of your efforts, you are also wary..."

"Either we divide the various forces of my son. I don't want to hate you. It's you. Everything is you. It's your suspicious nature that worsens the relationship between my son and my father."

At this time, he was extremely manic, as if being swept by a strong wind, and his red eyes no longer had any cover as before, but were completely naked.

"You are suspicious of your son, and you are also suspicious of your third son. Now you have driven your third son to fight at the border. Now, you have kicked your son far away. In your heart, we sons can't get you.

Trust me!"

"Ha! How ridiculous, oh! By the way, father, you are still waiting for the third child to come back to revive you! Do you think that as long as he comes back, you can control your son?"

After Gong Zhaochang finished expressing his grievances for a long time, he laughed and his tone returned to indifference, "Hahaha... That depends on whether he can come back."

"What did you say... cough, cough, cough..." The continuous coughs made Qingdi blush, and it became difficult to breathe. He covered his chest, his eyes widened, "Cough, cough, cough... Nizi...

What did you do to him...?"

Gong Zhaochang's tone of voice was filled with indifference and feigned innocence, "What else can be done? The person who delivered the oracle is dead. Will the third child you care about come back?"

When Emperor Qing heard this, his eyes were full of anger, and a sense of sadness and powerlessness came to his heart.

Before he could recover, he heard Gong Zhaochang say cruelly again: "Oh! By the way, father, I forgot to tell you that Gong Yun proudly established himself as emperor, which was also framed by me!"

This shocking thunder buzzed in Qinghuang's ears. He suddenly raised his red face to look at him, and his bloodshot eyes suddenly shrank.

Seeing Emperor Qing's shocked and disbelieving expression, Gong Zhaochang smiled evilly and said cruelly: "Father, do you know that I have thought of many strategies to prevent him from coming back..."

"Finally, Erchen thought that his father's counter-plan was to make him bear the crime of rebellion, which would make his father have murderous intentions. Erchen sent so many people to build momentum for him, and it only took one

Within a few months, there was an illusion that Gong Yun'ao was proclaiming himself emperor."

"However, I never expected that you would actually want to call him back. Why? Aren't you already suspicious of him? Why do you want the third child to come back? Ah?"

"Cough cough cough..." Bright red blood spurted out from Qing Huang's mouth, soaking the bed, and drops of bright red blood fell on the ground.

Qinghuang felt extremely sad in his heart. This was the good son he had raised, and they wanted him dead one by one! The veins on his forehead protruded, his eyes were red, and his bloodless lips were trembling violently as he gritted his teeth.

Concubine Xian stood behind the curtain, glanced at Emperor Qing coldly, and then looked away in disgust, as if she had never seen him before.

Gong Zhaochang came closer to him and smiled coldly, "Father, do you hate me very much at this moment? But why don't you, my son, do the same? My son has already gone to this point, why does my father still want to do this?

Bao Laosan?"

"Is this fair to my son? By the way, do you still feel sorry for him, so you don't want to kill him? Father, do you know that for a father who is so suspicious and ill like you, these sons have to live in fear every day, so

…”

"Today's disaster was all caused by my father, and I had no control over it at all."

"Pfft..." Emperor Qing was so angry that he vomited blood again. He lay on the edge of the bed and panted breathlessly. How could he still have any dignity as an emperor?

Gong Zhaochang looked at him indifferently, and his cold eyes gradually became gleaming. He slowly leaned forward and said: "Father, my son is unfilial and has made you angry and vomiting blood again!"

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. If I have to trace the root cause, I can only blame my father for believing in immortality, which allowed him to take advantage of the loophole..."

Qinghuang looked at him in disbelief, what did he mean???

Gong Zhaochang paused and smiled meaningfully, "The elixir of immortality that my father has been taking is essentially a chronic poison. Therefore, my father's illness waxes and wanes...
