Chapter 235 The Great Victory of Beidi

The soldiers went out to hunt foreigners.

This is Dazhou's biggest feat in recent years.

From the powerful landlords to the noble ministers, many people are always paying attention to the war outside the customs.

It's not because these people care about national affairs, but because they know that this dispatch of troops outside the customs will affect the changes in the entire Zhou Dynasty in the next few years, even decades.

If the Great Zhou wins and really destroys Xirong and Beidi, then the revival of the Great Zhou will be unstoppable.

But if the Great Zhou Dynasty were defeated, then all the efforts made by the emperor would be lost in one fell swoop.

This is not just as simple as affecting the situation of the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Similarly, it also indirectly affects the powerful landowners and the subsequent strategic attitude of the noble ministers towards the court.

On this day, a group of messengers rushed into Luoyang City from the north.

"Eight hundred miles urgent."

"General Lu defeated Beidi, killed Beidi King and Luofengpo, and achieved a great victory in Beidi."

The messenger galloped forward with his horse and whip in full swing, shouting at the same time.

What?

General Lu defeated Beidi and killed the King of Beidi?

As the messenger shouted, many people heard the exciting news.

"So, I, Da Zhou, won?"

"General Lu is really a god. First he put down the rebellion in the four northern states, and now he has destroyed Beidi and killed the king of Beidi. With General Lu here, I, the Zhou Dynasty, will no longer be afraid of any disasters from foreign tribes."

"Yes! After the old master, General Lu is the pillar of our great Zhou Dynasty. I don't know how the war in Xirong is going."

"If General Huo can be like General Lu and defeat Xirong and kill the king of Xirong, then we in Xiliang and Northern Xinjiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty will no longer have to suffer from foreign tribes."

After hearing the news of the great victory in Beidi, many people talked excitedly.

…

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Cao Zhengchun walked into the Yangxin Palace holding the eight-hundred-mile expedited memorial of the great victory that was sent to the palace by messenger.

"Your Majesty, General Lu's victory memorial has been sent back."

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Cao Zhengchun presented the victory memorial in his hand to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged and he took the memorial from Cao Zhengchun that Lu Bu had sent back to the victory.

Opened it and looked at it.

Before that, Dongchang had sent back the news of Lu Bu's victory in advance.

Therefore, Zhou Chen's face did not change much when the messenger sent back the memorial of Lu Bu's 800-mile victory.

After reading the contents of the memorial, Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Cao Zhengchun, immediately summon all civil and military officials to the Jinluan Palace to discuss matters."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and left.

…

Jinluan Palace.

The summoned civil and military officials walked into the Golden Palace in order of their official positions.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty, long live the world."

After Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne, all the civil and military officials knelt down and saluted.

Zhou Chen was half leaning on the dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military officials below, and said calmly, "Everyone is exempt from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All civil and military officials stood up.

Zhou Chen glanced at the civil and military officials and said directly, "I think all of you dear friends already know the news about the great victory that has just been expedited for eight hundred miles!"

"General Lu defeated the Beidi army in a battle at Luofengpo and killed the King of Beidi."

"For the specific news, let Cao Zhengchun read it to all your dear friends!"

After speaking, Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was standing next to him.

Cao Zhengchun immediately took a step forward, opened the memorial of victory in his hand, and started reading.

When Cao Zhengchun finished reading the victory memorial sent back by Lu Bu, all the civil and military officials looked excited.

"That's great. General Lu defeated Beidi so quickly and killed the King of Beidi. It's really satisfying!"

"Yes! I sent troops outside the pass several times during the Great Zhou Dynasty, but all returned without success. This time I finally destroyed Beidi."

Some ministers said excitedly.

Especially some loyal and veteran generals cried with joy.

It has been long since the Great Sunday, and troops have been sent out several times outside the Pass, hoping to destroy the alien races outside the Pass.

It's a pity that every time, it's all in vain, with more defeats and fewer wins.

This time, Da Zhou finally got what he wanted by sending troops outside the Pass and destroyed Beidi.

How can these loyal veterans be unhappy?

Zhou Chen looked at the excitement of the civil and military officials below, and a hint of gentleness appeared on his face: "My dear friends, you have all heard what General Lu reported."

"We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, destroyed Beidi, but what should we do with the prisoners in Beidi?"

"After the war, how should we arrange the land outside the customs?"

"What suggestions do you have for me, dear sirs?"

Zhou Chen glanced at the civil and military officials below.

The victory memorial sent back by Lu Bu not only reported the victory, but also asked for instructions on the arrangements for the lands outside the pass and the treatment of the prisoners in Beidi.

Although Lu Bu defeated Beidi's army and captured Beidi, he also captured many foreigners from Beidi.

We can't just kill all these captive Beidi aliens!

Therefore, the court must discuss how to deal with these prisoners of Beidi.

"Your Majesty, the Beidi aliens are wolves, tigers and leopards. Over the years, I don't know how many people have died at the hands of the Beidi aliens."

"The old minister suggested that none of these foreign captives from Beidi should be spared, and all of them should be killed."

A veteran stood up and said loudly.

People who have not experienced the cruelty of aliens outside the customs will not know the hatefulness of aliens.

This veteran general had sent troops outside the Pass, experienced battles with the Beidi aliens, and witnessed the ferocity of the Beidi aliens.

Any prisoner who falls into the hands of the Beidi aliens will be killed without mercy.

Therefore, this veteran general now stood up and suggested that these prisoners of the Beidi alien race should be killed.

Treat the person in his own way.

"inappropriate."

As soon as the veteran general finished speaking, a minister stood up and objected and said: "We, Zhou Dynasty, are a country of etiquette and the heaven is above us. How can we do such things as trap and kill prisoners?"

"Besides, killing prisoners in this way is harmful to Tianhe."

"I think that these Beidi prisoners can be used as prisoners and slaves to build roads and open canals for me during the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"This will not only relieve me of Da Zhou's labor, but also save me Da Zhou a lot of expenses."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen nodded; "I have received news from Dongchang. Huo Qubing, with three thousand white horse followers, raided the Xirong King's City like lightning and killed the Xirong King. The Xirong army was also defeated."

"It won't be long before the good news from Xirong will come."

"So, it's not feasible to kill all the prisoners."

"There are prisoners in Beidi, and there are also prisoners in Xirong."

"Next, the Nanman and Dongyi will also have prisoners."

"I, the Great Zhou, can't trap and kill all these prisoners!"

Zhou Chen said.

What?

General Huo raided the Xirong King's city and beheaded the Xirong King. The Xirong army was defeated?

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the expressions of the civil and military officials below became excited again.

They did not expect that Huo Qubing had also killed the King of Xirong and defeated the Xirong army.

So to put it this way, when Zhou Dynasty sent troops outside the pass and fought on two fronts, it was reported as a great victory.

Not only was Beidi captured, but Xirong was basically a foregone conclusion.

"His Majesty."

"Killing prisoners is unlucky and will harm the peace of the world."

"But the calamity of alien races has been with us for a long time. Whether it is the border people or the border officers, they all hate the alien races."

"If we don't kill the foreigners, I'm afraid it will cause resentment and dissatisfaction among the border people and border officers against the imperial court."

"I suggest that we can select a group of foreigners from the captives who have committed serious crimes against our Great Zhou, and kill these foreigners who have committed serious crimes against our Great Zhou."

"This can not only deter other foreign captives in Liwei, but also alleviate the hatred of foreigners among the border people and soldiers."

"As for the land outside the pass, you can build a government and a city."

Fang Xuanling stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I agree with Fang Shangshu's wishes."

"This alien race has been causing harm to me, Great Zhou, for a long time, and we cannot let it go easily."

"You can kill some of them and keep some."

Some ministers agreed with Fang Xuanling's suggestion.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen nodded; "The matter of foreign captives will be dealt with in this way first. As for building a city outside the pass..."

After saying this, Zhou Chen looked at Xiao He: "Prime Minister Zuo, Fang Shangshu suggested building a city outside the pass, what do you think?"

Establishing a government and building a city is no small matter.

The cost is not small.

Xiao He pondered for a moment and then stood up: "Your Majesty, the land outside the pass is the best place to herd horses and raise livestock, and it will be of great benefit to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"However, if you want to build a city on a grand scale, it will cost a lot of money."

"Aren't there several ready-made cities outside the pass?"

"We can build a government based on this first, and the construction of a city can be postponed later."

Xiao He said with cupped hands.

Hearing Xiao He's words, Zhou Chen nodded again; "Okay, let's arrange these things like this first."

"Prime Minister Zuo, you and the Sixth Department must discuss a specific plan as soon as possible to deal with the post-war affairs outside Guanwai as soon as possible."

Zhou Chen glanced at Xiao He and the Six Ministers and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao He and the six ministers bowed and said.

…

After retreating from the court.

Zhou Chen returned to the Yangxin Hall.

After sitting on the dragon throne, Zhou Chen looked thoughtful.

Beidi was destroyed, and news of Huo Qubing's victory came from Dongchang, Xirong.

It can be said that the goal of killing Beidi and Xirong by sending troops out of two passes has been achieved.

Next, there are the Nanman and Dongyi.

Zhou Chen's face pondered for a moment, and his mind was immersed in the sign-in system.

Today’s check-in started.

"Sign in."

Zhou Chen thought silently in his heart.

【bite……】

[Sign in successfully, congratulations to the host for gaining the allegiance of one hundred flying bear troops. 】

"Flying Bear Army", the elite cavalry under Dong Zhuo during the Three Kingdoms period.

It was also a major asset that allowed Dong Zhuo to control Luoyang in the early stage and gain momentum.

In the past few days, Zhou Chen signed in every day and the people who came out were all Fei Xiongjun.

However, the number of Flying Bears who signed in each time was not large, ranging from ten to fifty.

One hundred people signed in today, which is the largest number of people ever.

After the Flying Bear Army appeared, Zhou Chen had people take the Flying Bear Army to the military camp outside the city.

After all three thousand flying bear troops sign in, Zhou Chen will have another special unit under his command.

…

Beidi Royal City.

In the palace.

Lu Bu sat on the main seat.

Sitting below were Jia Xu, Gao Shun, Pan Feng and several other generals.

Since the Battle of Luofengpo, when Lu Bu led his army to defeat the Beidi army and killed the Queen of Beidi, Lu Bu divided his troops into four groups and began to sweep the entire Beidi.

Without the King of Beidi, Beidi's army collapsed thousands of miles away.

In just ten days, the entire Beidi was swept away one by one by Lu Bu and his four armies, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Anyone who dared to resist was slaughtered without mercy.

Even the royal city of Beidi was no exception and was directly attacked by Lu Bu.

It can be said that now the entire Beidi has been basically captured by Lu Bu, and all the alien races in Beidi who can still breathe have become prisoners of Lu Bu's subordinates.

Lu Bu raised his eyes and glanced at Jia Xu, Gao Shun and other generals and said, "Now that Beidi has been conquered by us, there are still some people who have escaped and escaped, so they will no longer be able to do anything."

"Cao Xing, Hao Meng, you two are responsible for tracking down those fleeing Beidi aliens."

Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing and Hao Meng and said.

"Yes, General."

Although both Cao Xing and Hao Meng were seriously injured, they still stood up and bowed to accept orders.

Lu Bu looked at Pan Feng again: "General Pan, the overall situation on Beidi has been decided. Beidi has been destroyed. The Xiliang army will guard and capture the prisoners."

"According to His Majesty's previous wishes, you should return to Luoyang immediately with the Shenwu Guards!"

Lu Bu said to Pan Feng.

"Follow orders."

Pan Feng also stood up and accepted the order.

Now that Beidi has been destroyed, the mission of the Shenwu Guards has indeed been completed, and they must return to Luoyang immediately.

Lu Bu's eyes left Pan Feng and rested on Jia Xu: "Jia joins the army, Your Majesty has sent word that some of the prisoners must be selected, some will be killed and some will be kept."

"Furthermore, if a government is to be established in Beidi Royal City, you will have to worry about these things."

Jia Xu was a counselor, so it was most appropriate to leave the preliminary preparations for selecting prisoners and setting up a government to Jia Xu.

"General Lu, did your Majesty tell me how to select this prisoner?" Jia Xu asked.

Lu Bu shook his head; "Your Majesty only said that those who have committed serious crimes against me, Zhou, should be singled out first. The specific situation can only be decided after the court discusses it."

Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded understandingly.

Then, Lu Bu glanced at everyone and said, "The Southern Barbarians are attacking Nanmen Pass. According to the court's previous layout, after Beidi is destroyed, I will immediately lead the Wolf Cavalry from outside the wall to attack the Southern Barbarians' rear."

"Next, Ben will be leaving."

"After I leave, Gao Shun is temporarily in charge of the Xiliang Army. You must help General Gao keep an eye on those Beidi prisoners."

"Anyone who dares to do anything strange will be killed."

"We must not let those prisoners in Beidi cause any trouble."

Lu Bu said cautiously.

Lu Bu knew that there were many prisoners in Beidi.

After Pan Feng left with the Shenwu Guards and Lu Bu also left, once the Beidi prisoners rioted, it would be difficult for the Xiliang Army to suppress them.

Therefore, Lu Bu had to carefully remind everyone.

"Yes, General."

Gao Shun and Cao Xing all accepted their orders.

"Okay then, let's all go down and do what the general says!"

Lu Bu said nothing more and waved his hand, telling Gao Shun and others to leave.

Then, Lu Bu and Jia Xu said a few words, and then left the Beidi Royal City with the Wolf Cavalry.
