Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The north wind is raging on the white mottled grassland, and the low tents seem to lie in the wilderness. The old palace on the hill of Shangjing is very stable, with a warm charcoal fire inside, brightly colored tiger skins, and hanging decorations of some ferocious beasts.

The teenage Yeluxian was wearing a mink warm hat. He looked a little thin and his face was a little pale. Ye Luxian's health has always been poor.

Winter was originally a leisure season, but these days the nobles who went to Beijing have been talking about the Pingxia War. Ye Luxian was also very concerned about the Emperor Xu who robbed Xiao Chuo and refused to make a huge profit deal. Then he asked Xiao Siwen: "What kind of person is Guo Tiejiang?"

Xiao Siwen looked back at the ministers standing on both sides, and said cautiously: "This man is a warrior. He is less than thirty years old. He is ambitious and militaristic. Since I heard his name, I have been fighting all the time."

Ye Luxian asked again: "In the battle of Pingxia, can Guo Tiejiang win the troops of Li Yiyin and Yang Gun?"

Xiao Siwen pondered and said: "From my point of view, it is logically difficult. Xu Guo's Forbidden Army is Zhou Guo's Forbidden Army with another name. From the generals to the soldiers, they are all the same group. They are powerful, but they don't need to be stronger than the Daliao Iron Cavalry. The main reason is that they are small this time.

With such a troop arrangement, there are too few cavalry, more than enough defense, and insufficient attack power.

However, the Central Plains has been in war for many years, and the three (plus Chai Rong’s Northern Expedition) battles in Youzhou cost a lot of money. Although the Central Plains has a large area and a large population, they also have many internal problems, and the imperial court does not really have much money and food. If Blacksmith Guo wanted to repeat the old tricks and overhaul the fortifications in the borderlands, it would be a waste of national power.

If this is the case, both Dangxiang and Han'er will lose in Pingxia. Even if Dangxiang loses in the end, it will be beneficial to Daliao. "

After hearing this, Ye Luxian nodded frequently, and the ministers on both sides also agreed. After a coup in Liao Kingdom, many people were purged, and most of them took refuge in a group of people around the new king. Xiao Siwen is undoubtedly an important figure in this group; everyone supports Xiao Siwen now, and they feel more and more that this person has a lot of knowledge. "

Xiao Siwen said sternly: "In today's world, various ethnic groups are rising one after another, and even the party members are faintly fighting for status. But the big trouble is the great country Xu Dynasty, which is in a trend of ebb and flow. As long as Xu country can be weakened, it will be beneficial to Daliao..."

Ye Luxian said: "For the current plan, we can only sit and wait for Yang Gun to report the victory."

...

At this time in Tokyo, the Laba Festival has begun to be festive, and the roofs of countless houses have been covered with snow. But it was still warm inside.

The red lanterns hung in the west hall of Jinxiang Hall add more brilliance to the gorgeous palace. This is the place for daily office work. There is a yellow curtain in front of the imperial collapse in the north. Fu Jinzhan felt that he was a woman, and all ministers were men, and men and women were different, so he hung a curtain to cover his throne.

From the inside, she could vaguely see who was standing outside, but she couldn't see clearly; below were Yasukuni Gong Han Tong, and some military inspectors and military officials. But she felt good about this smoky feeling.

Fu Jinzhan came out to govern, his face was finely powdered, because his skin was white and smooth, the carmine red lips made it very delicate. If it weren't for fair skin, the red would not be so glamorous.

Jinzhan, who is over 30 years old, usually cherishes her appearance very much. With a little makeup and a gorgeous phoenix crown decoration, she is now the most beautiful woman in the world.

Fu Jinzhan's red lips parted slightly, and he said, "It's freezing outside, and the officials and soldiers of the imperial army are still fighting hard in the barren land. You must put your heart and soul into doing what the officials ordered."

...The Queen is talking about equipping the Jianghe Navy with artillery.

The officials of the Ministry of War and the Military Weapons Supervision bowed together: "I will obey Yi's decree."

Han Tong can't control these things now, but as a meritorious nobleman of the Great Xu Dynasty, he has the qualifications to ask for advice at any time, so he immediately said: "My queen, as far as I know, the Jiaolong Army (Sea) wanted to load new cast copper cannons on the battleships, but there were many troubles in testing the cannons. The copper cannons weighed a thousand catties each, and the vibration of the cannons was very strong. At the slightest, the vibration caused the direction to be misaligned, and at worst, the ship's planks were cracked...Jianghe navy ships are made of thinner and poorer materials, so there may be problems."

After hearing this, the civil official immediately retorted: "If there is any difficulty, we must find a solution. If we don't think of a solution, why should the queen worry about it?"

Another civil official also said: "I heard that the empress goes to the Sanqing Hall to pray for the officials every day, and the weather is uninterrupted. After the people of the world are fortunate to have such a benevolent mother, I beg the empress to take care of the phoenix body!"

Han Tong didn't know what to say when he heard such nonsense, he just stared at those civil servants with contempt. Han Tong's eyes were round and big, known as Han Bingyan, and everyone looked at him sideways.

At this time, the queen sitting in the curtain said: "The official has been fighting for many years and knows weapons. He said that he can fire cannons on the ship, so he should be able to do it. You should think of a way. Of course, every day I hope that the official can return to the court with victory as soon as possible, without incident.

After the summoning and talking about the political affairs, Han Tong and all the officials Xie Enbai retreated.

Now he has nothing serious to do, his military position is in the capital, but he doesn't have to worry about any specific matters, that is, he goes to the palace to have a look when he goes to court or is summoned. Immediately, he left the imperial city through the side door of Xuande Gate.

Outside the imperial city, there is a snow scene in the capital. The snow on the trees is like a bunch of flowers, but the scenery is more beautiful than autumn.

In the cold weather, the streets of Tokyo are still bustling. The land of the Four Wars that once competed for the title has become the center of peace in the world. The war of the dynasty is still going on, but it is getting farther and farther away from the hinterland. Even during the war, there is no need for martial law in Tokyo.

Han Tong drove south along Yujie Street, seeing the world and the world, and he agreed with the founding father Li Chuyun's point of view. That is a career that is more prosperous and more promising. Even a martial artist can have a status and be respected... because this world is inherently utilitarian, and the reason for being educated is that you can get a good future as an official.

The world is becoming more and more peaceful. If a warrior has no place to use his skills and reduces military expenditures, his status will definitely be lowered.

Han Tong didn't accompany him on the expedition this time, but he has been paying attention to the progress in the northwest. Han Tong had seen Guo Shao's rich experience in using troops in various ways. He was also a general of the Imperial Army, and he knew the combat power of the Imperial Army very well. But I still dare not judge the outcome of the Pingxia War, the battlefield is always changing rapidly!

Most of the Forbidden Army is also in Tokyo. As long as you approach the city and the barracks, you can find that all the soldiers are talking about the Pingxia War.

And now, I heard that the former battalion army built a city by the Yellow River.

...

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the Dangxiang ministries and the Khitan allied forces continued to march towards the position where Xu Jun attacked, and they had reached Yinzhou.

The brigade consisted mainly of Dangxiang people, Khitan people, Xi and Jurchen infantry, but there were also a small number of Tubo people and Uighurs. It is truly a joint army.

The Tubo people and the Uyghurs are soy saucers, but they will quickly send the situation on the front line back to Hexi to the nobles. At this time, the nobles of the Hexi tribes are also fidgeting, watching the progress of Pingxia at any time... This fight seems to be a war between party members, but it is bound to affect the entire Northwest.

The various ministries and religious aristocrats were actually very dissatisfied with the Dangxiang people, because the Dangxiang tribe near Hexi relied on Xiazhou for backup and did many bad things. However, in contrast, the huge national power of the Central Plains Dynasty made them even more worried about subversive|subversive changes. The nobles wanted to maintain the status quo, to keep their vested territories and profits.

So while they set up a post in Lingzhou, they exchanged friendly exchanges with officials of the Xu Dynasty and exchanged needs, and at the same time hoped that Xu Jun would be defeated!

The Uighur wizards even burned|burned the corpses in the army, and cursed the Xu army with magic to encounter disasters! This made the party members very dissatisfied, and they had to scold the Uyghurs as members of the "devil religion".

The coalition forces have stayed in Yinzhou for many days, and now the upper echelon seems to be rather confused. They are unwilling to attack the fortifications built by the Xu people... This is the most troublesome thing for the nomadic army, and even the half-herding and half-cultivating Daliao army is not good at attacking fortifications.

Li Yiyin was obviously also in a hurry. With the land of Pingxia's five states, it was difficult to sustain the food and grass burden of hundreds of thousands.

After celebrating the new year in Yinzhou, in the first month, a piece of good news broke the stiff atmosphere: Xu Jun's fortress had just repaired a rough fortification, and a large number of people had left the fortress and went up Wuding River along the river!

Li Yiyin's face almost died of laughter.

He immediately met with Yang Gun, a general of the Liao army, and decided to set off for Suizhou immediately.

"Xu Jun is not familiar with the terrain, even if he has a guide, he dare not run randomly between the valleys. They must be attacking Suizhou along the Wuding River." Li Yiyin said.

Yang Gun thought it was good, "Han'er likes to build camps along the river, and they attacked Youzhou three times. Seeing that the ice melts after spring, they can still rely on the river to transport grain!"

Li Yiyin was much older than Yang Gun, but he was more emotional, "If Xu Jun doesn't march along the Wuding River, I'll eat the horsewhip in my hand!"

The two immediately agreed that the army would rush to Suizhou to set up an army in advance, and when Xu Jun came to attack the city, they would back the city and form a decisive battle! Even for Dangxiang and Khitan people, it is a good thing to have a city certificate, and cavalry can get food, grass and various supplies in the city.

... But when Li Yiyin and others were about to arrive in Suizhou, they suddenly heard that Xu Jun was about to withdraw when he was about to arrive in Suizhou. The forward cavalry has retreated, and the 20,000 to 30,000 troops on the rear wing (should be the army of the township brave) are also retreating!

Li Yiyin cursed: "No, some people want to run away!"

Yang Gun also mused: "Could it be that Xu Jun's move at this time is a feint, trying to attract my army to come and delay the time?"

Li Yiyin frowned after hearing this: "A trick to lure the enemy? Want to lure us to attack the city?"

He rode on the horse and looked at the road ahead, and immediately said: "Let me ask where Xu Jun has gone. If it is close to Suizhou and the way back is far away, let's go first with cavalry, catch up with Xu Jun, and force them to form a defensive line. When the follow-up army follows up, we will be able to catch a large group of Xu Jun and horses!"
