Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The 557th chapter Dragon City (1)

It was raining lightly in Jinyang, and there was already a large army gathered outside the city.

Guo Shao stood on a small mound holding his sword for a long time, watching the troops marching on the main road. The soldiers' boots stepped on the wet dirt road, and the whole road was covered with mud. The drizzle from the wind hit his face completely cold, and the drizzle slowly gathered on his iron helmet, dripping down from time to time along the brim of the steel hat, dripping coldly on his cheeks, giving him bursts of wit.

The footsteps of the marching troops with strict military discipline were very orderly, especially when the emperor was watching from the sidelines. There was a unique smell of soil in the breeze, and the petals were quickly trampled into the mud in the mud.

Guo Shao looked sideways, and glanced at the two peach trees beside the road. In the wind and rain, the pink petals were falling from the trees. In the sight of rough mines everywhere, the peach blossom reminds Guo Shao of the spring in Tokyo and those women in China who care about their sons ahead.

At this moment, two men, one tall and one short, rode their horses to the foot of the hill from the crowd, got off their horses together, and walked up the hill.

Guo Shao took a closer look, and it turned out that they were Gao Yanchou and Hou Mao, the chief and deputy generals of the Jiannan Army marching on several avenues. Hou Mao was thin and short, but Gao Yanchou who was with him was a tall and strong man with a round face. They walked together very strangely, like an adult and a child. But Hou Mao was not a mediocre person. During the Battle of Shu, he had caused Xiang Gong a headache for several months in Qingniling.

The two walked up, regardless of the mud on the ground, and knelt down on one knee. Gao Yanchou saluted the army: "The ministers and others pay homage to His Majesty, and have ordered the Jiannan Army to arrive in Jinyang!"

Guo Shao took two steps forward, helped them up one by one with his own hands, and blurted out: "The soldiers have traveled thousands of miles to the battlefield. You have worked hard."

Gao Yanchou was stunned, and hurriedly bowed: "Don't dare, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, and I'm willing to go forward for His Majesty, and I won't return until I break Jinyang!"

Guo Shao looked at the marching men and horses on several roads, and said again: "The soldiers all have family members who are looking forward to returning. You must be cautious, and the casualties of the soldiers should be minimized as much as possible when going into battle."

After hearing this, Gao Yanchou's face was slightly moved, and he cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty treats the soldiers like sons, and you dare not obey orders!"

The three said a few words, Guo Shao looked up into the distance, and the two generals followed his gaze.

The rainy sky was misty, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, and the majestic Jinyang City Tower was looming in the depths of the clouds. This city is also known as "Dragon City" in the world. As for the source of its fame...just think back to where the Tang Empire started after the fall of the Tang Empire! The ministers including Guo Shao think that this city is the city of desire|desire, and the warlords entrenched here have ambitions; the geography hangs above the heart of the Central Plains! The complete recovery of Jinyang is a necessary step to ensure the safety of the dynasty and must be eliminated.

Not only the desires of the warlords are entrusted here, but also what Guo Shao wants.

A few years ago, Guo Shaochu came to this world. Except for the change of environment, his situation was no different from his previous life; it was nothing more than adapting to the society, trying to find a place to stand in the world! In his previous life, he worked hard to study in order to have a good job. In this life, he chose the job of martial arts because he discovered that he is proficient in archery, and also in order to have a job and a place in the world.

Just like his dream: a place of his own, a woman of his own, who usually has something to do, and someone to talk to after a busy day.

However, the so-called "sing which song to stand on which hill". Today's Guo Shao finds that everything has changed. What he needs is not only to adapt to society, but also to find that he has the power to control the operation of the world! The desire to dominate and excitement is by no means comparable to squeezing into a good position.

What he wants to change, he can change; what he wants to create, he can do it immediately; he can bestow favors on whomever he has mercy on, so that people can be grateful; He is the master of the world, no more fear, no more worry, no longer caring about anyone's wishes, everyone must care about his will. The world is objectively centered on oneself, and the feeling and experience are indescribable.

But first of all, what Guo Shao wants is that kind of power, to strengthen his own strength more!

Devour Jinyang! Although the Northern Han Dynasty was almost economically and materially unprofitable, there were people here, and it was a good source of soldiers; there was land, and no dynasty thought it was too big. Cultivated land meant food, and territory meant size and strategic depth... Most importantly, occupying the east of the river could greatly reduce one's own weaknesses.

A powerful force lies not only in strength, but also in its own flaws.

"Dragon City, Jinyang..." Guo Shao looked at the distant city tower a few more times with complicated eyes, and whispered a few words.

He held his old waistband with one hand, and the city in his sight seemed to be transformed into desires, dreams, and the deepest emotions in his heart; his other hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, and the force of the big, thick hand with bulging veins was like his determination!

Guo Shao has always been the most concerned person among the crowd, and his movements and expressions are watched by the generals. In the faint breath, the generals obviously felt the emperor's strong will.

...

In the imperial city of Shangjing on the grassland, the palace was built on a hill, and the tall and rough palace towered over the entire grassland. The voice of a Khitan nobleman in the hall shouted loudly: "Jinyang must be saved, and Hedong must not be lost from our hands!"

The aloof Emperor Yelujing of the Liao Dynasty had a gloomy face, holding an old bone scepter in his hand, but the ministers did not keep their mouths shut out of fear.

Although it was already spring, the northern grasslands were still chilly. The bronze utensils in the main hall were burning with flames, and the black smoke rose upwards. In addition to heating, it could also be used for lighting...Yelvjing ordered people to nail down all the windows, because the lighting in the palace was not very good. The firelight in the dark palace added a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere, and the people standing around were not kind.

Hedong is an important gap to enter the Central Plains. The nobles of the Liao Kingdom can directly see its role. Because of these places, they can maintain an active offensive and loot more things from the prosperous Central Plains in their imagination; it can better demonstrate the strength of Khitan and build their own self-confidence.

"Great Khitan is the leader of all ethnic groups!" A bearded man raised his head and chest and shouted, "Whether it is Tatar, Shiwei, Jurchen, or Han'er, they should fear Daliao and become our servants! No matter who wants to provoke Daliao, betray and hostile, Khitan iron cavalry will let them bleed like rivers until they look up and respect Daliao again!"

Yelvjing looked coldly at the nobles in the hall. In the heat of the fire, what he smelled was desire, the bloody smell of force! The Khitan people's desire for strength has never changed, because in this vast land, strength and force are the basis for maintaining everything. Why are the Shiwei Jurchen and other clans willing to offer things for the Khitan to enjoy every year? Because they can't resist... Shi Wei is weak because of the misjudgment of the civil strife in Daliao, and wants to betray!

Once the Liao Kingdom has no strength to threaten those tribes, the huge country will collapse. All nobles know how to survive in the grassland, so even if some people here have ulterior motives for the throne, they can reach an agreement on dealing with foreign enemies.

Yelujing can't sit idly by and ignore Beihan either! He already felt that his prestige and status were unstable, and if he lost a strategically important place under the rule and the situation declined, he would be even more disadvantaged.

At this time Yang Gun stood up and bowed and said: "To preserve the Northern Han Kingdom, you only need to defend Jinyang. The strong city of Jinyang is the foundation of the entire Hedong. The Great Khan only needs to let the Northern Han Kingdom know that the Daliao cavalry will rescue and actually respond, and Jinyang will not surrender."

Another nobleman also agreed, thinking that as long as the threat to Jinyang City is eliminated, the entire Hedong region can be protected. Yelujing and everyone else expressed their opinion, and then they ordered Yeluxiu and Yang Gun to gather an army again and reinforce the Northern Han from the north to defeat the attacking Zhou army.

"Jinyang City must not be lost." Yelujing only specifically instructed this sentence.
