Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The owner of the mansion must be a wealthy family. The house is well-built and well-equipped, but it still lacks momentum after all. The living room was a bit small, and soon it was filled with twenty or thirty civil and military people. People of Zuo You's level could only stand and let it go. When Wei Renpu explained the terrain to everyone in front of the picture, he found that he could only stand...

There are two tables on the left and right below, with two chairs on each, and four buttocks are already sitting on the chairs. Li Chuyun, Han Tong, Shi Yanchao, Yang Biao.

Wei Renpu walked over gracefully, his face was a little embarrassed, because he couldn't stand in the middle of the room after he finished speaking, and he could only stand near the door with a bunch of middle-level civil and military personnel to watch the scene.

At this time Li Chuyun stood up and said, "Vice Envoy Wei, come and sit here."

Li Chuyun was the highest ranking military commander, and he made a lot of contributions to the Northern Expedition, but he had always been very modest and never acted arrogantly... But the status was there, and everyone knew it well, as long as a courtier had a place to sit, it would be bad for him to stand.

Guo Shao was immediately attracted by this brief embarrassing scene, and he sat silently.

Everyone looked sideways, Da Zhou is still called the state of etiquette, such things are still very important.

Wei Renpu walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Li, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Li Chuyun's face turned blue and white, and he couldn't bear to sit there. The world is a lesson, even Guo Shao knows that Li Chuyun is just a temporary polite sentence, I am afraid he really didn't think about giving up his seat!

The atmosphere became very tense.

At this moment, Shi Yanchao sneered and said, "Going forward to fight and regain the lost ground, we are the ones who go up there with knives and guns to fight for our lives. The civil servants sit in the back all day long talking and chattering, and they even fight over the chairs, hah!"

Wei Renpu smiled, and looked directly at Shi Yanchao: "General Shi's words, I don't think it makes sense. Your Majesty's country and people can't just be killed by warriors with swords and guns; if only warriors are needed, how can the world be in order from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the (later) Han?"

Shi Yanchao was furious.

At this time Guo Shao said: "Although General Yang is the general in front of the palace, his rank is slightly lower than those present. Get up and let Deputy Envoy Wei sit."

Only then did Yang Biao get up and said, "The final general will obey the order. Deputy envoy Wei please."

Because Guo Shao opened his mouth, Shi Yanchao swallowed what he was going to scold Wei Renpu just now, and hummed, "Isn't General Yang inconvenient?"

Yang Biao pulled a horse face, glared at Shi Yanchao and said, "Whoever goes into the battle will not be injured, get well soon, don't worry about General Shi."

Guo Shao ignored them and deployed troops immediately.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Liao Dynasty, the Northern Expeditionary Army dispatched two routes to attack Pingzhou and Wuzhou respectively; ordered the Hedong Army (Northern Han surrendered troops) commander Yang Ye to go north from Yanmen to attack Yunzhou (Datong).

The goal of this campaign is to seize all the territory south of the Great Wall, all the land in Youyun Sixteen States except Yingzhou!

After discussing the matter, all the ministers left the palace and separated civil and military affairs when they went out.

Zuo You saw that Wei Renpu's face was not good-looking, so he persuaded him: "That Shi Yanchao is not polite, it is really insulting to the gentlemen, Wei Fushi does not need to be as knowledgeable as him."

Wei Renpu said coldly: "I don't want to quarrel with him over trivial matters, but I am the highest-ranking civil servant in the Qianying military mansion, so I can't lose face at this time! Otherwise, several generals will sit, and I, as the highest-ranking civil servant, will have to stand. Where will the status of the world's scholar-officials be? In the future, what will others think of Wei in Shilin?"

Zuo You nodded and said: "Deputy Envoy Wei is right. What we are fighting for is not a seat, but face."

Wei Renpu was still a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "Warriors will not be arrogant for a few days! In the past, wars broke out in all directions, the world was divided, and only strong soldiers and horses could survive; but now the sixteen states of Youyun are just around the corner, and the world is irreversible. Why does your majesty let so many warriors hold heavy troops?"

After hearing this, Zuo You was thoughtful.

Wei Renpu said: "Once this battle is over, the imperial court should focus on recuperating and recuperating. A peaceful and prosperous age is not far away."

Zuo You couldn't help whispering: "Da Zhou stands firmly in front of the mountain, I wonder if he will turn from defense to offense and continue to attack Liao?"

Wei Renpu shook his head and said: "Rushing out of the fortress to fight the Liao Kingdom is a waste of national power. The northern grasslands and Liaodong are both inhabited by barbarians. If our population cannot stand firmly and take root, even if the Great Zhou can destroy the Liao Kingdom for a while, it is inevitable that other tribes will grow. In the past, the Huns and Turks were chased by the Central Plains.

Governing the barbarians in the Northern Expedition was not achieved overnight, let alone the benefit of defeat in a single battle, it must be a long-term strategy. "

... A few days later, with the support of Wei Renpu and other officials, Guo Shao issued an edict. I rule the country with benevolence. The Youyun prefectures have experienced wars for the first time, and I sympathize with the sufferings of the people. This autumn and next year's summer and autumn (Youyun) prefectures will be exempted from grain and corvee. The lost land in Hebei is restored, officials are forbidden to oppress and oppress the people, officers and soldiers are harassing the people, officials will commit the same crime as the people, and the people are all innocent...

In the counties and townships of Zhuzhou, Hebei, the people beat gongs and drums to sing praises, and they were happier than New Year. Guo Shao's prestige and influence in Zhuzhou far surpassed that of Zhou Taizu, and his reputation was surprisingly good for a while.

In the few states that the Liao Kingdom still controls for the time being, those Han generals and the Han army have no intention of fighting. They just wait for the Wang Shi to arrive and look for an opportunity to surrender!

The congratulatory memorials from all states in the world poured into the Imperial City of Tokyo like snowflakes.

...Yang Ye gathered the army at Yanmen Pass, announced the emperor's imperial decree, and mobilized the generals to attack Yunzhou in the north. Without agitation at all, the soldiers were eager to fight, only to finally be able to get out of the fortress!

The Zhou army defeated the Liao army head-on and regained Youzhou by force. The prestige of the country has long been recognized by the soldiers of Hedong. Back then, the Northern Han Kingdom called the Liao Kingdom nephews and courtiers. At that time, many people refused to accept it, but they were forced by the situation. Today, almost everyone agrees with the reality of the unification, and the influence of the Northern Han Dynasty regime was quickly abandoned by people. When a country is strong, it is easy to unite the hearts of the people.

Yang Ye is also very fortunate at this time, fortunately, he has waited for the last chance to make meritorious service!

"Your Majesty has not forgotten the last general." Yang Ye said in a deep voice, and the generals below are fighting for the opportunity to be the forward. He thought to himself that as a surrendered general, if he doesn't make military achievements for the court that can be said on the scene, he will not even have a place to speak in the future!

The general said: "North of Yanmen Pass, the Han generals of Shuo, Ying, and Huan prefectures have heard that Youzhou has been occupied by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Shangjing is in chaos. He has already whispered to us that we will open the city gate as soon as the Hedong army leaves Yanmen, and kill all the defenders of the Liao army! Let's capture the three prefectures first, and then go north to besiege Yunzhou. Sooner or later, we will break through the city!"

Yang Yedao: "Hadong army is tens of thousands, and it is the closest to Yunzhou. Of course, we have to capture Yunzhou; not only that, but after quickly capturing Yunzhou, we can also ask for orders to send troops eastward to support the forbidden army to attack Wuzhou together!"

The generals talked a lot and found it more difficult. Shuo, Ying, and Huan prefectures are easy to capture quickly, but Yunzhou is an important town in the Liao Kingdom, and there are fertile grasslands in the south of Yinshan Mountain. Guihua (Hohhe|Hote) and other places can mobilize a large number of Liao army cavalry; Yunzhou Liao army may resist desperately when reinforcements are waiting.

Yang Ye said calmly: "After the Hedong army captured Shuozhou and other three states, they marched northward with great fanfare; then they used partial cavalry to go around between Yun and Wu (near Xuanhua and Zhangjiakou), the upper reaches of the Sanggan River, and marched westward along the river to confuse the Yunzhou Liao army... At the beginning of the year, the imperial military supervisor dispatched a batch of new armor to the Hedong army, and the cavalry put on new armor. A large group of siege, scare them."

The generals repeatedly called for clever ideas, and someone suggested to prepare Shi Yanchao's banner, because the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty often used Shi Yanchao as a striker in his own conquests, and that guy was also a relatively well-known figure.

Yang Ye remembered the very unpleasant experience with Shi Yanchao in Tokyo, and if he used his banner, would he be ridiculed by that guy in the future... It is very possible, maybe Shi Yanchao's false pretense can make Yang Ye angry!

Yang Ye said: "Don't use Shi Yanchao's banner, Dong Zunhui can do it, and he doesn't look so pretentious. Although Dong Zunhui is not that famous, but someone in the Liao army must know that he is also one of the Zhou army's forwards. After knowing it, they will believe it even more."

...

A month later, the Khitan nobles of Yunzhou heard that Zhou's army "hundreds of thousands of horses" was advancing in two directions. He urgently sent someone to Fengzhou, south of Yinshan Mountain, to ask for help, but he didn't get a reply after a long time, and he was already very anxious.

At that time, a staff member of the Han official in Yunzhou advised the Khitan nobles and suggested that he abandon the city and run away!

The Khitan nobles were afraid of being punished, but the aides said: "Now that the masters of Shangjing have been killed, and the new king is busy entering Shangjing to secure the throne, who cares about Yunzhou?

The new emperor of Daliao is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the person in power is Xiao Siwen and Yelu Xiezhen, who urgently need the support and support of various ministries from all over the country.

The general is a Khitan aristocrat. It is a minor matter to abandon Yunzhou at this time. He quickly sent someone to contact Xiao Siwen and Yelu Xiezhen. He said that the general hated the faint emperor for making things wrong in Daliao. "

The Khitan nobles were already very moved and hesitated.

The aides urged urgently: "Don't stop and suffer from the chaos! Hebei provinces are all lost, and Zhou's army is approaching the city, how can Yunzhou defend it for a long time? The most important thing for Xiao Siwen and others at this time is to deal with those who oppose them. The general supports the new emperor with both hands and feet. If he is still punished, how will Xiao Siwen win over the ministries?"

The Khitan nobles were finally persuaded, and hurriedly gathered people to pack up their belongings, and they abandoned the city and ran away.

When Yang Ye arrived in Yunzhou, the staff led a group of Han officials, officials and people in Yunzhou to welcome him. Yang Yebing took over this important city that divides the north and south without bloodshed or firing an arrow!

Yang Ye didn't care about congratulations, so he hurriedly wrote a memorial and sent an order six hundred li to rush to Youzhou to report the victory, claiming that he had collected all the important lands in the northeast of Hebei, including Keshuo, Ying, Huan, Wei, Yun and other prefectures. \u003c
