On the banks of the Sanggan River, Zhuo County, Huairong.

A middle-aged bald man was sitting in the prefect's mansion in Huairong City. In his arms, a young woman with the same bald head was also hugging.

"Have you not arrived yet?"

The bald man frowned. This was the time he didn't know how many times he had asked King Qi Gao Kaidao.

"Go back to Your Majesty, the King of Qi should arrive soon."

"It's coming soon, it's coming soon. You've said this many times, but I haven't seen anyone yet. However, Zhao Gui's troops are coming soon. If you continue to fight, you will be coming to Huairong City."

Zhao Gui led a large army out of Duguan, and the situation was unstoppable along the way.

The cities under the rule of Mahayana Buddha Kingdom were all lost one after another.

Just as we saw, there were only a few cities left.

It is said that there is no hair on your mouth and no matter how hard you do things, but there is no hair on your head, and it will not be a big deal. This young bald monk Gao Tansheng became a monk in Mount Wutai when he was young, but later, because he could not stand the rules and precepts, he was expelled from the mountain gate for breaking the precepts. After going down the mountain, he cheated everywhere and was free and easy.

From then on, I became a wine monk and even hooked up with a beautiful young nun.

Seeing the world turmoil and those ambitious people, regardless of their origin or background, could be called king and emperor as long as they had the courage, they became turbulent.

Gao Tansheng chose his own way. He started to start the Maitreya religion under the name of spreading the Dharma. This Maitreya religion was a cult that was often used by ambitious people in troubled times. When he came to his hands, he even carried it forward, secretly robbing and trying to attract and lure believers everywhere.

He even colluded with the Turks and won over scholars and powerful officials. In the end, the incident happened and it turned out to be true.

In a short period of time, he had tens of thousands of people, occupying the Zhuo County outside the military gate.

In fact, it was just because Zhuo County was not the previous Zhuo County, and the previous Zhuo County was centered on Fanyang. Later, Zhuo County was changed to Fanyang, and the original army was newly established as Zhuo County, which was then placed under the jurisdiction of Dingxiang Road.

The place outside the pass is sparsely populated, and Dingxiang Road is hard to reach here. Although Fan Yang is close, he has no jurisdiction, which makes Gao Tansheng take advantage of a loophole.

But after all, the population of Xinzhuo County is small and the terrain is biased, so although the uprising is easy, its population and geography also restrict its development after the uprising.

Gao Tansheng relied on his bold call to Gao Kaidao and surrendered to the Turks, which made him temporarily glorious for several days.

But as soon as the Qin Dynasty counterattacked, Fan Yang's Zhao Gui's troops came out of the army and he realized his true form.

Now he only hopes that his sworn brother, King Qi, Gao Kaidao, can return to the rescue as soon as possible, otherwise his capital would be destroyed and he and the queen might become prisoners.

At this time, his Maitreya clans could not resist the attacks of the Qin army at all. Many of them even fled when they encountered the Qin army and even surrendered directly.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the King of Qi led 20,000 troops and 5,000 Turkic cavalry have arrived ten miles outside the city."

When Gao Tansheng heard this, he immediately looked happy and was finally saved.

"Where is the Qin army, where is Zhao Gui's Qin army?"

Previously, Zhao Guijun went out of the army to Duguan, and even broke into seven or eight cities. His vanguards also arrived at the east of Huairong City.

"When Zhao Guijun saw the army of King Qi return to the rescue, he was so scared that he fled eastward."

"Hahaha, the King of Qi is mighty and powerful, please follow me to welcome the King of Qi into the city."

Outside the city.

Gao Kaidao rode on the horse and watched the Qin army slowly retreat eastward.

He didn't pursue him, but just watched them evacuate quietly.

An officer reported military information to Gao Wudao that there is only one Zhuojun city left in the Mahayana Buddha Kingdom, and there are about less than 10,000 people left in the city.

Many soldiers and generals either fled or surrendered to the Qin army.

"If it weren't for the fact that the army was out of control, the mountain roads were difficult to move and the transportation of military food was inconvenient, Zhao Gui had already conquered Huairong."

"Go into the city!"

Gao Kaidao said with a cold face.

Tens of thousands of troops set up camp outside the city, and Gao Kaidao brought his general Zhang Jinshu and more than a hundred adopted sons into the city.

At the city gate, the bald emperor Gao Tansheng had already brought his bald queen to welcome him in a golden cart.

"Fortunately, King Qi serves the king and rescue the emperor in time, otherwise I will almost be unable to protect him." Gao Tansheng took Gao Kaidao's hand and said happily, and issued an order in public to grant Gao Kaidao the title of Taiwei and Shangshu Ling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gao Kai said thank you.

Gao Tansheng got on the Jinlu car with Gao Kaidao's hand in hand and returned together.

At the reception banquet, Gao Kaidao didn't drink much.

When the banquet was about to end, Gao Kaidao came to the emperor with a glass of wine, "Your Majesty, I will give you another glass of wine."

"I am drunk and can't drink any more."

Gao Tansheng's tongue was a little numb and he didn't want to drink it anymore.

But Gao Kaidao raised the wine glass and had no intention of taking it back.

"Your Majesty, please have this glass of wine."

“Is there anything special about this wine?”

Gao Kaidao smiled and said, "This is a glass of poisonous wine, colorless and tasteless. It will die immediately after drinking it, but there will be no pain."

Gao Tansheng's face changed drastically, "The joke of King Qi is not funny at all."

But Gao Kaidao sneered, "This is not a joke, I think you can get on the road."

"Come, protect us!"

Gao Tansheng shouted.

But no one on the left and right came forward.

On the contrary, Gao Kaidao's adopted sons came up, each holding weapons.

"Gao Kaidao, I treat you well, why are you treason?"

"No, I just want to be the emperor too." After saying that, Gao Kaidao asked his adopted sons to hold Gao Tansheng down, and then poured the glass of poisonous wine into Gao Tansheng's mouth.

Gao Tansheng struggled and swallowed in a short while.

Looking at Gao Tansheng who was still glaring, Gao Kaidao sneered, "If you don't have that strength, you want to be an emperor, and you are overestimating your ability."

After poisoning Gao Tansheng, Gao Kaidao claimed to the outside world that Gao Tansheng died suddenly. So he took over the throne as the emperor's brother, changed the country's name to Yan, changed the year name to Shixing, and added all officials and generals.

The Turkic general received a lot of gold, silver, money and silk sent by Gao Kaidao, and also obtained Gao Tansheng's queen nun Jingxuan. So he was indifferent to Huairong's palace change. Anyway, as long as Huairong's troops were loyal to the Turkic Jie Li Khan, no matter who was the leader.

The army is under lockdown.

The Qin general Zhao Gui was still urging the rear to transport grain and grass. After Fan Yang's troops left the pass, they broke into seven or eight cities in a row, but the food and grass were very small. Zhao Gui had to summon civilians to transport grain from the rear. However, the mountain roads were difficult to move, and the rainy summer caused the supply of grain and grass to be too late, which also made it difficult for Zhao Gui's troops to move.

"Report, the enemy general Xie Ling of Huairong came to deliver a letter and asked to surrender."

"Xie Leng?"

"He is Gao Tansheng's adopted son, and was previously awarded the title of General of the Left Wu Guard and Prince of Yan."

"Then why did he send someone to surrender?"

With some doubts, Zhao Gui asked someone to bring in. After he finished reading the letter, he was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Gao Kaidao suddenly mutiny, killing Gao Tansheng, and then proclaiming himself Emperor Yan? Now Xie Len wants to surrender to my Qin, and is willing to be an internal support?"
