Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 719 Who is to blame

"Good news! Good news..." A man outside the palace shouted excitedly and came in.

The brush in Guo Shao's hand froze on the paper, and he raised his head. Dozens of people in the signing room turned their heads to look at the door together, and their movements were almost uniform. Flickering lights, dozens of pairs of eyes sparkling in the bright light.

Not long after, a messenger with a triangular red flag on his back was put straight into the signing room because it was a good news.

The messenger knelt down on one knee, picked up the blood-stained report with both hands, and said loudly: "The Sibu cavalry in front of the temple won a complete victory on the southern line!"

Eunuch Wang Zhong hurried down to pick up the things. Guo Shao asked, "How's the result?"

The messenger said: "Siege and destroy 30,000 fine cavalry of the Liao army! Capture the Liao army coach Yeluxiu alive!"

"Wow..." Everyone in the signing room suddenly became excited, and even the messengers and guards lined up outside became noisy. Some people stared round their eyes and clenched their fists, while others raised their heads wantonly and laughed "haha".

Wei Renpu looked around and said loudly: "Your Majesty led his troops to sweep the world, is there any king in the world!"

All civil servants and generals shouted in unison, "Is it the king's land in the whole world... Could it be the king's land...", a group of people stood up and knelt down, prostrating and shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

Under the lights at night, Guo Shao's face was flushed. Although he didn't cheer like everyone else, he couldn't hide his excitement. It goes without saying what this battle means...

"Happiness" came so suddenly, Guo Shao only felt that the blood in his whole body was hotter than usual, but he felt a little dazed under the slightly dim light. It may be that the previous pressure was too great, but at this moment, I felt dizzy when I suddenly relaxed my mind.

Indeed, this battle was just an accident, not within the general expectation at all! Although the ending should be the same in the expected development trajectory of the gaffe, there is no doubt that this battle has greatly shortened the suffering process.

Guo Shao raised his head and let out a long breath. Stretching out his hand and rubbing it on his forehead a few times, he unfolded the report in his hand and read it carefully before handing it to the eunuch Wang Zhong after confirming it: "Let all the ministers read it... you all get up and talk."

There was a lot of discussion in the room, and people were still in a happy and excited mood while reading the newspaper.

Guo Shao turned his head and looked at the night sky outside the carved window. The weather is so good tonight, and the sky is filled with brilliant stars! In the beautiful night, he found a trail of bright light across the sky, which was a shooting star. It seems that a secret wish has come true, and it seems that the fall of an important figure in the legend is reflected in the celestial phenomena... Brother Yeluxiu is known as the number one tiger general in the Daliao, and he is also a character.

Guo Shao felt refreshed at the moment.

This signing room is very simple, and the ostentation is not big enough, so it can't reflect the great atmosphere at the moment, but everything that happens here will surely spread throughout the world! Because the stars in the sky are watching everything on the ground!

Someone worshiped: "Brother Yeluxiu and his subordinates have committed a heinous crime. We can chop off the heads of the Liao army and build a Beijing temple in Yizhou."

Immediately there were those in favor, "Repay grievances with straightness, blood for blood! Justice and revenge are the way of the sages!"

Wei Renpu was calmer than the other ministers, and said calmly: "I think it is best to throw the heads of the Liao army into Youzhou City to scare them, and continue to open gaps in the east of the city to take Youzhou as soon as possible. As for Yizhou, you can ask someone to build a kneeling statue in the city to humiliate Yeluxiu."

After hearing this, Guo Shao felt that the method was very good, and immediately said: "We will play according to Vice Envoy Wei. You go and arrange this matter."

"The minister waits to obey the order."

... The next morning was sunny again, but the battlefield was filled with smoke and a sense of death.

Many people were throwing headless corpses into the big pits. In the pits all around, firewood and tung oil burned the bones, and black smoke filled the air. There was an unpleasant smell in the air, the smell of burnt flesh, fishy smell, and all kinds of stench.

Zhou's soldiers, soldiers and civilians are mixed together, and they are driving a car on the battlefield, walking slowly and stopping. The sergeants took woodcutters to the ground and chopped off heads with knives, while the commoners and men were picking up weapons and arrows on the ground, and some were pulling the armor off the corpses and searching for the contents.

Carloads of heads were removed, covered with lime.

On the battlefield, Li Chuyun and other generals rode their horses to watch their achievements. This mess was a tragic scene, which was a tragic scene for the Liao people, but for the Zhou people, it was like a smug record.

The two countries have been hostile for many years, and there are too many blood feuds. At this time, the soldiers have no mercy, but feel happy about such a bloody scene!

But everyone was really tired from the battle yesterday, Zhou Jun also suffered a lot of casualties after the fight, everyone was tired, and few people spoke.

Yang Biao took out a piece of wheat cake from his bag, and while watching the battlefield, he took a bite and started chewing. Shi Yanchao suddenly turned his head and looked at Yang Biao with strange eyes, as if to say: This smell and this scene, you still eat deliciously!

...

The Zhou army outside Youzhou City was still besieging the city, but it did not attack the city early this morning. Youzhou City seemed to be dead silent.

Xiao Siwen sat on the leather chair in the South Courtyard, with a dull expression, and didn't say a word the whole morning.

Instead, Abudi yelled from below: "Trash! Brother Yeluxiu is just a trash, death is not a pity, but it's a pity to reinforce our Daliao elite soldiers..."

Another general said dejectedly: "How did Brother Yeluxiu fight the battle like this...it's unbelievable!"

At this moment, Han official Fan Zhongyi asked carefully: "Will Shangjing send reinforcements?"

Xiao Siwen's motionless head immediately turned to look at Fan Zhongyi, this sentence was the key.

Youzhou is very important, but is Daliao willing to spend all its national power here? Even if the emperor is willing, can the army be mobilized in such a situation? What's more, if you really want to stalk this place, it's still hard to say how it will end.

The Zhou army ceased fighting today, and for a while Xiao Siwen felt that Youzhou was already a dead city in this deadly atmosphere!

Fan Zhongyi carefully reminded: "If there is no reinforcements, Youzhou may not be able to defend, sooner or later."

...Daliao went to Beijing, and the news of Yeluxiu's defeat and annihilation came like a bolt from the blue!

A rare rainstorm just happened to happen on the grassland, and the wind and rain ravaged the whole of Shangjing. Yelvjing felt that Miyagi was in a precarious state and was about to be overthrown...

This is not timidity, Yelvjing really felt the danger, but it was not wind and rain that overthrew the imperial power, but people.

"Brother Yeluxiu..." The scepter in Yelujing's hand was trembling, "I have let down Ben Khan's high hopes!"

The attendants around and the ministers and nobles below all bent down and stood there in fear.

Although Daliao claims to control millions of strings, it is not easy to bear the loss of 30,000 elites at once. If it was a strong and stable period, this kind of loss could barely be borne, but the situation is different now. This is a heavy blow to Yelujing's throne!

Yelvjing's emotions towards Brother Hugh are indescribable...there is extreme anger, gnashing of teeth and hatred! There is also a kind of pity, no matter what, Brother Yeluxiu is a trusted and capable general around him, and now that he is damaged, Yelujing feels that his strength has been greatly weakened.

"Youzhou..." Yang Dagon took half a step forward, then stopped suddenly. Everyone fell into the mood of frustration and failure, but Yang Gun recovered quickly, and immediately thought of the most critical place at this time, or Youzhou!

Yelujing glanced at Yang Gun calmly, then looked away, pretending not to hear.

At this moment, Yeluxian said coldly: "Brother Yeluxiu's rash advances, frivolity and dereliction of duty have caused our Daliao army to suffer heavy losses and fall into a disadvantageous situation! Ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for his crime. The blame rests solely on Brother Yeluxiu. The minister came forward and ordered the execution of Brother Yeluxiu's family to cover his serious crime!"

Yelvjing still remained silent, no matter how hateful Brother Xiu was, he still thought of his loyalty in his heart, and he was unwilling to do so in private... But Yeluxian's intention was very clever, it was to put all the blame on Brother Xiu, and it would be good for everyone now.

But what about Youzhou?

Brother Yeluxiu is defeated, if Youzhou loses again... Youzhou not only loses a large piece of rich land, but also has more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry in the city, leaving behind 20,000 to 30,000 infantry; plus the families of Khitan people in Youzhou and Khitan people in various cities, there are also tens of thousands! Throw it all away? Yelujing deserved to be a big sweat. He kept losing the fortune of Daliao's family, and how could he still command the ministries?

And Youzhou seems to be unable to solve the situation, Yelujing is in a dilemma, and feels that the road seems to have come to an end!

Yelvjing didn't dare to say directly that she wanted to give up Youzhou; none of the people in Shangjing dared to say that. However, it became impossible to reinforce Xiao Siwen and continue to go south to Youzhou to launch a national war.

The only way to push Xiao Siwen out is to put all the blame for losing Youzhou on Xiao Siwen!

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, I am afraid this is the only way to go at this time!

Sure enough, someone carefully said: "Brother Yeluxiu was defeated in Youzhou, and Xiao Siwen has no reinforcements for the time being. Seeing this situation, can he still defend the city?"

A minister said: "Send reinforcements to the south to rescue Xiao Siwen?"

There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone fell silent.

Yang Gun bowed calmly: "Khan, the Daliao army was originally scheduled to go south after autumn; Brother Yeluxiu and Xiao Siwen first stabilized Youzhou City. Now that Brother Yeluxiu was defeated, Xiao Siwen was ordered to take on the heavy responsibility alone and defend Youzhou until autumn..."

This plan immediately won the support of many people. Anyway, no one wants to go south to waste money. If it can be delayed until autumn, let's delay it. Because there is no solution!

Yelujing also understood in her heart that she doubted Xiao Siwen's ability to support herself for several months...

He opened his mouth, and a sigh was sighed, and it was swallowed into his stomach.

"Huhu..." The strong wind howled outside the palace, pouring in through the cracks of the nailed planks, creaking. Yelujing seemed to have thousands of horses galloping in his heart. What he had been worried about was the turmoil of the various tribes on the grassland. He really didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of the southerners!

Haner from the south is actually the deadliest threat! Who can imagine that?

"Tiejiang Guo is a crazy beast, he wants not only the life of Youzhou, but also the life of Daliao!"\u003c
