Chapter 317 Northern Expedition

Morning of September 15th.

With the help of Xiao Lizi, the young emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty finally gained a firm foothold, expelled the An family from the capital, and declared himself in power.

Representatives from more than 50 tribes became members of the new central government of the Northern Han Dynasty. However, the situation of self-respect among tribes was still serious. Tribes loyal to Anjia still occupied one-third of the territory and two-thirds of the territory. With a population of one, their loyalty to the royal family was not high to begin with, and now they are even more on the sidelines.

At the court meeting, the newly appointed officials were talking a lot. The little emperor held the dragon chair in his hand and showed unprecedented interest.

In the past, he was just a nodding puppet. Now, he can not only make comments, but also decide things. Although everyone will look at the eunuch in charge behind him from time to time - the former Xiao Lizi, now Lan Li.

But the most common thing the eunuch does is to look at his crotch with sentimental and melancholy eyes, but it does not influence the empire's decision-making. All he asked was to prepare the army for war and then send more

Of course, Comrade Lan Li paid his dues. Not to mention the weapons he spent a huge amount of money on, the loss of human organs alone made his heart always filled with anger. In the cruel ancient times, one of the cruelties was that Developed medical technology. The expensive black household medical treatment has caused Lan Li to lose all his happiness. The only thing he is better than other eunuchs now is that he doesn't wet the bed.

Some tribes have tasted the wrath of Comrade Lan Li, and the cruelty after its burning has forced some star warlocks to intervene in the fight. Most of the tribe members who are now willing to serve in the royal family have seen Lan Li's abilities.

It's a pity that they don't know that the cost for Lan Li to express his anger is much higher than that of a star warlock. In fact, not only the tribal chiefs saw the power of Lan Li, but Lan Li also saw the power of the Star Warlock, and became much more humble. He did not want to waste all the poor possessions he had saved with great effort. Er Jing.

It took a month for the Northern Han Dynasty to gradually calm down. At this moment, news of its civil strife had just reached Daxia.

After two or three days of confirmation, the whole of Daxia was in a state of excitement.

As the tribes of the Northern Han Dynasty conquered each other, their strength would definitely weaken. Counting the coincidence of timing, many people believed that Daxia was blessed by the Star God.

There are some spontaneous marches and rallies organized in cities in the southwest, some to support the war, and some simply like to hang out in the streets. The form of a rally speech is like a disposable magic box. No matter whether it is good or bad inside, once it is opened, it can never be closed again.

As a result, Cheng Wenzheng's army preparations for war became justified. The first batch of troops to set off totaled 30,000 people, all of whom were cavalry, including all the established cavalry units on the southwest front. Master Cheng was very ambitious and felt that his decades-long ambitions had been fulfilled. He even recruited people from the Qingyue Yuanlong Four Branches. A total of more than 300 tribesmen joined this army.

Father and son soldiers go into battle. Whenever a fierce battle occurs, close relatives often play a huge role.

The scenes on the battlefield are more bloody than Category III movies and more terrifying than horror movies. If you are a soldier purely for food, it is not unusual for 300 people to be chased by three people. Soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles, facing off against recruits full of beautiful illusions, is equivalent to a killer chasing civilians - you can always hear similar stories every time there is a war.

In order for the lambs to become like wolves, they must be led by wolves. To resist bows and arrows, to withstand slashing and impact, there is not much difference between a sheep and a wolf.

With a family team of hundreds of people and a loyal enough officer corps, Cheng Wenzheng was sure to complete a war outside Xia Jing's control. Of course, it cannot last too long.

In addition to the members of the Cheng family, many aristocratic families sent their children to follow Cheng Wenzheng, but they did not organize standard noble cavalry battalions.

The noble cavalry has always been famous for its lazy speed of assembly. Calculated based on the situation in the northern battlefield, it would take at least three months to gather about 1,000 cavalry, plus about 5,000 knight retinues.

In addition, their logistical supplies are also a problem that the Cheng family cannot solve for the time being. Daxia had never prepared for a full-scale attack on the Northern Han Dynasty, and its strategy in the southwest was also based on strategic defense. Therefore, how to maintain the effective combat effectiveness of a noble cavalry battalion really needs to be re-examined by the Zhennan Governor's Office.

Cheng Jinzhou had not returned from giving a speech, but the Cheng family's army had already set off in a mighty manner. With the participation of hundreds of nobles and nobles, the war turned into a merit competition - anyone could see the rise of the Cheng family. Any noble family that wants to join the family sees this as an excellent opportunity.

Because of this, although the Nanling County Prince clan was once the most prominent clan in the southwest, almost no one participated in the Northern Expedition.

It was not until the 25th, the 10th day after the army set off, that Cheng Jinzhou returned to Shaonan.

At this time, the Cheng family's old house was less noisy and more hopeful.

Cheng's mother took Liu Qingshuang back to the Zheng family, while Cheng's father stayed at his post in Nanling. In his view, no matter the scale of the war, war is the time when an official needs a person in charge most - as to whether the Cheng family needs him more, Cheng Yun'an, who has been influenced by ethics, will not consider it.

However, in terms of ability level, there is not much substantial difference between whether Nanling has Master Cheng Yun'an or not.

With his parents away from the house, Cheng Jinzhou felt a little lonely when he returned to the Cheng family.

Some of the third generation sons of his age went to the battlefield, and most of the remaining ones were preparing for the imperial examination. When they met Cheng Jinzhou, they were all imprisoned. Not to mention Xiao Cheng's classmate's status as a star warlock, even his title of Jieyuan could make him The younger members of the Cheng family walked sideways. A few of the concubines are also planning to go to the church to develop their careers, but their relationship with the legitimate son Cheng Jinzhou is even further away, and they cannot even enter the inner house.

Mrs. Cheng was so sophisticated that she probably guessed that Cheng Jinzhou would feel lonely, so she left a few maids behind and chose companions of similar age to accompany her. But she herself was practicing meditation in the Taoist temple in her house, praying for her family members who were going to war. Except for the maid who was with her, she saw no one - Daxia was one of the few countries that could retain its local religion, thanks to the stern resistance of ethics.

Cheng Jinzhou was a little funny and a little relaxed.

Compared to the struggle for power within the Cheng family, Cheng Jinzhou preferred to be quiet and reflect on his "lecture trip".

In recent days, he has met enough people. Watching people cheer because of your words, watching the world change because of your words, is indeed a very fulfilling thing.

What Cheng Jinzhou realized from giving more than 10 speeches a month was that he was very talented as a politician.

No matter how much people despise politicians, society does move forward slowly under the drag of politicians. There may be a few politicians who can act as the steering wheel and make the car of society run more smoothly, but politicians also evolve from politicians.

As for ordinary people, they are like gasoline, determining the power of the car of society, but at the expense of burning themselves.

"If I train in school for a longer period of time, maybe I can learn from some sage and conquer the world directly with words." Cheng Jinzhou sat in his room, his mood was still high, but he couldn't remember the person who occupied the world with words. Which sage is he?

The koala's front paws were tightly clasped on Cheng Jinzhou's pants, and its hind legs were kicking on his waist. He hummed and said, "You, if you are a child of the royal family, yes, yes. Otherwise, you might as well buy it for me." , buy some materials.”

After his vocal cords were repaired, his speech became a little smoother, but not much better.

The body of a koala is actually not suitable for speaking human language. Therefore, different species of creatures should speak different species of languages. When koalas speak human language, it is just like the media speaking for officials. There is always a bit of a weird tone.

Cheng Jinzhou listened hard and said, "Have you used up the materials from last time?"

"I made a suction cup on the tail." Yisu showed off his new tail. It had a small suction cup the size of a baby's hand, which was also attached to Cheng Jinzhou's waist to stabilize his body.

The former customer service comrade knew Cheng Jinzhou's concerns and could guess why he wanted to give himself such a weird body. But as far as he is concerned, having a body is the most important thing, and whether he has a good body is secondary. Therefore, like a smart child, he does not cry or make trouble, but requires continuous improvement.

Cheng Jinzhou took advantage of no one to shrug and said, "Let's wait until the war is over."

When it comes to war, it is inevitable to feel a little sad and even afraid. When it comes to the so-called temple calculation, there are naturally countless things to talk about, but when the fight actually breaks out, I feel uneasy - if the temple calculation is useful, all the rebel armies should fail, but the reality is that all the peasant rebel armies fail However, the landlord rebel army often replaced them.

If Cheng Wenzheng's attack on the Northern Han Dynasty failed and the losses were too great, Cheng Jinzhou would really doubt whether he had the ability to recruit people to cross the border again.

Now I just hope that the guy who comes into this world is a poor Covenant beggar or a Covenant gangster - there is not much difference in theory - rather than an elite who specializes in combat.

If you are not afraid of security guards learning to kill people, you are afraid of people who kill people becoming security guards.

Facing the unknown is not scary, but the scary thing is that the unknown will threaten your life. Scientists and graduate students all rely on the unknown. Cheng Jinzhou prides himself on being a person who has seen things before, but thinking about all the possibilities, he still felt a little weak and murmured: "If there is good news from the front, I will change it for you." Get rid of your body and go pile on that guy."

The koala shook its big head and said again: "Your speech is very good, but war is not necessarily a war."

Cheng Jinzhou glared at him fiercely, then plucked up the courage, stood up, and said loudly as if to cheer himself up: "Whether I win or lose, I will always capture Hanking. The only difference is that I capture the city. Or occupy the ruins..."

The sound of applause came from outside, and Warlock Jiang Huangxing laughed loudly: "Jinzhou, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard your vow and couldn't help but praise it."

As a fourth-level four-star warlock native to Daxia, Warlock Jiang Huangxing is actually the most ordinary high-level star warlock.

Other than the word count: I write super slowly, I’m really sorry.

Today is the first day of June, and Shitori is actually working hard and definitely not participating in the holiday celebrations.

Strong call for monthly tickets.
