Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The hundreds of thousands of Dangxiang Khitan coalition forces were defeated by Xu Chao's 40,000 in the first battle, and they were completely destroyed!

The news spread quickly from Suizhou, because there were too many people who cared about it. This kind of news was delivered by fast horses traveling hundreds of miles a day, which was completely different from the general information diffusion.

The northwest was shaken, and the whole north was affected by it.

Hexi and the Tubo tribes in the south were very disturbed. They quickly sent people to Lingzhou to inquire about the attitude of Daxu's court and whether they would continue to march west... Lingzhou has various post houses.

At this time, the grasslands of the Northern Expedition are already faintly green in the distance, and spring has come. A fast horse wearing a felt hat gallops on the grassland, "Da da, da da..." The horse's hooves repeat the fast rhythm, the grassland stretches out, and the old city wall of Shangjing has appeared on the horizon.

Not long after, the messenger entered the Daliao Palace. He was holding a wooden tube, kneeling on the hall alone, and holding it up with both hands. An attendant came over and took the urgent report under the watchful eyes of the officials lined up on both sides. Some of the people present were wearing fur warm hats, and some were wearing long robes and head coverings. They were not Han Chinese, they were still Khitan officials, but many etiquette systems had the shadow of Han officials.

The attendant opened the wooden tube, pulled out a roll of paper, turned to look at the superior, Yeluxian nodded. The attendant scraped off the vermilion paint, unfolded the paper and handed it to Ye Luxian.

After seeing it, Ye Luxian handed it to Xiao Siwen who was standing beside him, and said, "Yang Gun and Li Yiyin were defeated. More than a hundred thousand people were chased and killed or injured. There are corpses within a hundred miles."

There was an uproar in the hall!

Immediately someone yelled: "Yang Dagon is a stupid pig!" "It wasn't a report last time, Xu Jun's elite was only 40,000 to 50,000, and he couldn't do that even with 20,000 horses and horses! There is also a 100,000 army of Dangxiang..." "Yes, all the envoys sent to Pingxia have reported.

At this moment, Xiao Siwen said coldly: "Yang Gun is a veteran general. If he can fight like this, you leaders will be much better. Brother Yeluxiu used to pat his chest and say how powerful he is, so what about in Youzhou?"

Yelu Xiezhen, who held a heavy soldier in his hand, immediately echoed, "Duke Xiao is right."

The ministers felt something, and the sound of cursing immediately became much quieter.

When the emperor Ye Luxian spoke again, the ministers stopped talking casually, Ye Luxian said: "When Yang Gun comes back, ask him what's going on."

Ye Luxian asked again: "What exactly is Guo Tiejiang going to do after sitting on the throne of the Central Plains? Ben Khan heard that before the Pingxia War, the Central Plains court colluded with Korea and wanted to take the land of the Bohai Sea in the northeast of me?"

A nobleman asked: "Isn't Smith Guo just bluffing?"

Not even his own tone was sure.

Xiao Siwen said: "It's only been a few years since Blacksmith Guo tried to seize the throne of the Zhou Dynasty, how much land has already been occupied by force..."

The people in the hall gradually felt great external pressure. Not only because of the news of the failure of the Pingxia Battle, but also because of the past events on the battlefield many times not long ago.

...

Along the Wuding River, Xu Jun successfully "taken over" cities such as Yinzhou, Xiazhou, and Youzhou, as well as various towns along the way. There was almost no resistance. After Li Yiyin was defeated, all the places had no intention of resisting, and there were no more soldiers.

The Jiedu envoy of Lingzhou, Zhe Dejian, relieved the guard of the army and civilians of the whole state, and rushed to Xiazhou to meet the emperor. He also wanted to ask the court's attitude so that he could properly deal with the envoys of the northwest.

Xiazhou, formerly known as "Tongwan City", although it is very old, but the thick city wall rammed with earth still shows the ambition of the ruler who occupies here. The ancient city, the shadow of the undulating mountains in the sky, and the desolate grassland in the north stretch as far as the eye can see, like an unknown and complex northwest region with a relatively sparse population.

Guo Shao's army didn't rush to capture Tu|Lun's palace, and the camp of the Chinese army was only set up in a yamen in Xiazhou.

When Zhe Dejian was led to the simple lobby, he deeply felt the excitement of the generals of the imperial army. In the lobby, there was a lot of shouting and killing towards the northwest! In the first battle, the enemy army three times as large as himself was cut off, which made the generals a little bit unable to control the frenzy of blood. In the words, I heard that the Qianying Army Mansion arrested|arrested Tubo and Uyghurs. Many people clamored to take advantage of the victory and go west, killing all the way to the Western Regions!

The civil servants greeted Zhe Dejian one after another, and their words were very polite. Most of the generals of the Forbidden Army were okay, only the big Shi Yanchao looked at Zhe Dejian with a squinting gaze. Zhe Dejian didn't want to lose his momentum either, he stood there straight with a serious face, and didn't take the initiative to greet him.

At this moment, they heard a "wow" sound of metal grinding outside the door, and the guards raised the cherry gun together, and then saw Guo Shao in military uniform walking in from the door.

All the generals clasped their fists to perform the military salute, and the civilian officials bowed to each other. Guo Shao walked up to the public seat, sat down and said, "Can you kill all the people in the Northwest?"

All the civil and military halls were suddenly silent.

Even Zhe Dejian was secretly excited. I can't tell you what specific feeling I feel, but I can't help being in awe of the emperor in my heart, not only because of the illustrious military exploits and imperial power behind him, but also because he is quite imposing today. But maybe that aura is something he has experienced after he has a high position and weight.

Guo Shao gave Zhe Dejian a very special feeling more than once. His mighty anger is not like Shi Yanchao's, who speaks with a sense of sting and violence, but his voice is not loud. But he speaks clearly and thinks clearly, and his piercing eyes make people absolutely believe that he knows what's in his heart, and no one dares to mess around.

The emperor has a tall and strong figure, a typical figure of a young warrior, but his posture is very straight, and his head never bows. Standing has a standing posture, sitting has a sitting posture, and powerful and correct movements make people feel orderly and orderly. Zhe Dejian felt more than once that the temperament of the emperor was different from that of all the people in the world.

You don't need to be angry to make people obey. Zhe Dejian has always been curious... Maybe it's the righteousness in his gestures, words and deeds? For some reason, even warriors don't respect trivial matters. But it's not exactly that kind of righteousness.

Moreover, Guo Shao's actions have "benevolence", that kind of benevolence in his bones, benevolence to the common people, and will also express brotherhood and grievances to his generals.

It's not weakness, it's humanness, reliability, security and trust. No one wants to be loyal to that kind of completely cold-blooded person, because no matter how good you are to him, he may repay you with revenge. What's the point of that?

Guo Shao's actions are not acting, every little detail has a distinct mentality of grievances and grievances. Including the fact that someone whispered in private that he married his cousin and sister-in-law, Zhe Deying knew some inside information, but he had a different view on this matter. He can do this to a woman, let alone his dead brother?

Zhe Dejian was full of expectations and wanted to see the emperor's attitude towards the Northwest after the great victory. ..
