Chapter 468: Although the country is destroyed, the war does not stop
Beiping City, Post House.
On weekdays, there are only thirty or fifty soldiers guarding the place. Since the arrival of the King of Tang and the envoys of Zhongshan Kingdom, the level of policemen has been rapidly raised to three or four levels. Now a total of five hundred armored elites have surrounded the eastern half of the post house.
Breathable.
"Haha, brother Yuehua, with rotten leaves on his head and stains on his clothes, could he be blocked by the unscrupulous people in the remote north?" The envoy of the Tang Dynasty laughed hahaly, and threw the book he was holding on the table. He stood up to welcome him, a set of
Wearing his moon-white uniform and wearing light boots, he felt as if he were at home.
But Yue Hua smiled bitterly at him. He was not as calm as the imperial envoy. He had suffered a lot these days while traveling back and forth in the capital!
The folk customs in northern Han Dynasty are rigid. Ever since the mission entered the post house, they have often been besieged by the people in the capital. Once the containment is successful, rotten eggs and rotten leaves will come one after another, dirtying people and dirty clothes. It is really an insult to gentlemen.
.After the people in the mission suffered a few times, they no longer went out casually without any serious business.
It's just that Yue Hua's duties were different from those of the imperial envoy. His task was to connect the courtiers and dignitaries who were old acquaintances of the Northern Han Dynasty, and stir up opposition within the Northern Han Dynasty. Ji Fa didn't believe that everyone in the Northern Han Dynasty would be united with him.
The majestic Zhou Dynasty prince who stayed in Beijing arrived at Du Niu, and he arrived at Du Niu with his millions of armored troops.
Now, the 60,000 Zhou troops leaving Yuzhou are his first test. They are also Yuehua's biggest reliance and capital when traveling between the various mansions in the capital. You know, Peking City learned that this former guest of the Nangong family was the Tang Dynasty King.
When he was a man, there were many old acquaintances who wanted to use him to strip out his heart and lungs to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Alas, Brother Chang was not lucky enough to have a son. After leaving the Anping Marquis' Mansion, he was chased for several streets by a group of thugs..." Yue Hua remembered the previous embarrassment and was really angry and angry.
"The skill of a Guizhou donkey only ends here!" The prince often pulled Yue Hua up and comforted him with a smile.
"Zhongshan thieves, get out..."
"The bastard inside, if you have the guts, come out..."
"He who is named Wang, come out and die!"
…………
The prince then wanted to ask Yue Hua if he had gained anything from the Anping Marquis Mansion today, and the yelling and cursing outside the post house started day after day.
"Haha, today we are half an hour ahead of schedule. I'm afraid Brother Yuehua may be unclean!"
As an envoy, Wang Zichang's self-cultivation, magnanimity, and demeanor are all impeccable. He is self-indulgent and insulting without any color. Yue Hua also admires this.
"Old Yun is still procrastinating. There is no conclusion to the battle in Weizhong, and he will not let go!"
"Phlegm confuses the mind, how unwise it is. I have 60,000 heavenly soldiers, several times as many as Zhu Biao's army. How could General Meng be defeated by soldiers from a small remote northern country who have less than 20% of his own army?"
Prince Chang pulled Yue Hua down and sat down, while he walked up and down the hall. He didn't let go for many days. It seems that the hope of the Northern Han Dynasty really rests on Zhu Biao. "In this case, we will wait. Yue
Brother Hua will no longer have to travel and work hard in the next ten days. Let’s see who will come to ask for help on that day when Zhu Biao is in embarrassment!”
Inside the palace.
After bidding farewell to Yue Hua, Yun Han once again entered the palace to 'visit' the new king and the queen mother. His grandson finally ascended the throne, and he has been firmly seated on the throne in a few months. Yun Han felt happy when he thought about it.
I am happy, but my worries over the past few months have never diminished even a little bit!
Even compared to Lao Wang's time, the current situation in the Northern Han Dynasty is more difficult and miserable!
We were completely at odds with the Zhongshan Kingdom, and we only had to break a window with the Tang Dynasty. The country was in dire straits!
"There's nothing much to say now. We just have to see whether Zhu Biao can win!" Yunqin's face turned blue, with some gray in it. She was tired from worry and fear, and she was sick now.
Ji Yun was holding hot tea on the side. He felt pain in his heart when he saw his mother's sick appearance. The hardships of state affairs made him even more panicked. The majestic power of the King of Tang in Beijing often scared him awake when he slept!
"The rise and fall of a country depends on the battle of Weizhong!"
Yun Qin, who was ill, could still see clearly. Why did the 60,000 Zhou army not enter Quzhou to relieve the siege of Guangyang, but marched to Weizhong? Even the king of Tang knew it - now Zhu Biao is the entire Northern Han Dynasty
The spiritual pillar of the Northern Han Dynasty. If he is not defeated, the entire Northern Han Dynasty cannot bow its head.
Therefore, 100,000 Zhou troops pressed against the border between Zhongshan and Dazhou, unable to move. Another 60,000 Zhou troops were sent to attack Weizhong to crush the Han army.
As long as the Han army fails to attack Weizhou, Zhu Biao's myth of consecutive victories will come to an end. At this point, there is no need to talk about the number of troops. People in the world only look at the results.
If we look deeper into the battle of Dongjiang, Yuzhou, and Xiyang, isn’t Zhu Biao’s fame achieved through a series of victories with less and more? Without defeating more with less, there would be no Zhu Biao today.
status. Therefore, in the equation, Zhu Biao's battle is to 'win with less and win more'!
As long as the Battle of Weizhong is lost and Zhu Biao's defeat is reported back, the hearts of the people of the Northern Han Dynasty inspired by the previous series of incredible victories and quick victories will fall to the bottom. At that time, if Beiping does not bow to the king of Tang, hundreds of thousands of people will
The Zhou army will definitely cross the border and go north. They will pass through the entire north and south of Zhongshan Kingdom in only ten days...
"Ahem!" Yun Qin, who looked sick, stood up, "Your Majesty! The people of the Han Dynasty are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield. As kings, you and I, and the Queen Mother must also do our part.
Take a bath for three days and then go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for blessings!"
"Queen Mother!" Ji Yun was not willing to let his mother do any more work. "This matter is the responsibility of your own children. You must not overdo it!"
Three days of bathing are three days of fasting. During these three days, you should not touch meat, fish, onions, or garlic, do not drink alcohol, do not entertain, do not attend to criminal offenses, do not offer memorial services, and do not approach women to show that you are clean and pure, and to show your sincerity to God.
.
Ji Yun is young, so fasting for three days is nothing, and it will be easy for her to support the ritual of praying to heaven and praying for blessings. But Yunqin is different. Fasting for three days may help her become more pure, but the ritual of praying to heaven and praying for blessings is important to her.
There is no way it can be sustained.
When the time comes, you may have to use strong medicine to make you breathless, which will harm your body and your health, and may even take away your longevity.
Half an hour later, the news that the King and the Queen Mother had taken a bath for three days and went to the Temple of Heaven to pray for blessings spread throughout the entire royal capital, Beiping City.
Yue Hua was lucky to have arrived at the Anping Marquis Mansion first, otherwise he would have been chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs by Yun Han, who felt sorry for his daughter.
By the next day, some news was spread from above to below. The model contract, which had been kept secret by the nobles and ministers in the central court, and some of its particularly irritating clauses were vaguely spread to the people.
in their mouths.
Why was all the south of Guangyang County ceded to the Zhongshan Kingdom?
Why should Muzhou Baizhu Pass be given over to Zhongshan Kingdom?
General Zhu will be dismissed from his post and detained, and all captured Zhongshan soldiers and Zhou troops will be released...
The power of the alliance of the Six Kingdoms in the North was transferred to Zhongshan State, and the King of Han paid his respects to Zhongshan State...
News spread one by one that challenged the nerves of the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Han Dynasty. That afternoon, thousands of people in the city stormed the post house... without success!
"You bastard, you bastard! You ask for a high price, but you pay the money on the spot. Are all the officials in the Northern Han Dynasty mute and unable to say a word of counter-offer?
The prince often pointed angrily in the direction of the palace and shouted loudly. But he did not dare to dress neatly and go out to the Northern Han Palace to ask questions, because he would be beaten to death by the soldiers and civilians in the city!
Several experts who were wearing casual clothes and going inside and outside the inn bowed their heads and remained silent. Their duty was to protect the safety of the envoys, and to wander around the market to find out information. The great master Fang Luo Ke could not speak at all. He was the leader who was a peerless expert.
so what?
There has never been a time when military ministers and warriors were in charge of the country! No matter how domineering a warrior is, he knows that conquering the world at once cannot rule the world on horseback. Ethical ethics are everywhere, but they still rely on the pen of the literati.
In a mature political system, those who control the direction of the sword are never simple warriors, but scholars and counselors.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was a mature political system, and the Tang Palace was also a mature political system.
If the King of Tang wants to conquer the world, he must rely on military generals, but civil servants and counselors are not as important as military generals at all. They are the brains and command center of the entire Tang King group.
In particular, the leader of the guard, who is capable of martial arts but cannot be a soldier, is enshrined in the martial arts hall. It sounds nice. But in fact, it is just to worship him as a bodyguard! In the heart of the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts hall is absolutely indispensable.
But the weight is definitely not as good as the martial arts hall where the unified army can fight.
The leader of the guard knew his identity very well. As long as he protected Wang Zichang and Yue Hua was safe, the rest of the matter was none of his business and he just stayed out of it.
Three days later, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings was held as scheduled.
Important ministers gathered, all the troops gathered, and all the people inside and outside the capital gathered.
This should be the first time in decades, at least three or two generations of Han kings, that the Northern Han Dynasty did not hold such a grand ceremony to worship the heaven on the winter solstice.
But it was also the one that had the most unified hearts and the largest audience among all the heaven-sacrifice ceremonies held in the Northern Han Dynasty in the past few decades.
Inspired and guided by the thought of "Everyone in the world is my fault", the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Han Dynasty, at least the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians inside and outside Peiping City, shared the same hatred of the enemy and the same heart and mind.
"Although the country is destroyed, the war will not end. The king will not fail the country Zuo, nor will he fail the Han people Li Zi!"
With a flushed face, Yunqin drank a dose of strong medicine to sustain the whole ceremony. After offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings, he returned to the palace. He faced Prince Chang, Yue Hua, and Zuo Gezong, the envoy of Zhongshan Kingdom. He spoke loudly,
No cowardice at all!
The prince was very disappointed. He met Yunqin because he knew that Yunqin had a huge influence on the king of Han, and he didn't want the Northern Han Dynasty to shed tears without seeing the coffin.
"Foreign minister, I just want to tell the Queen Mother that before I left a few days ago, I, the 100,000 athletes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, were invited by the King of Zhongshan to station in Xiyang. Go to Han and respect yourself!"
These are the three falcons with secret messages that Prince Chang released with his own hands that day after learning that the Han Dynasty was preparing to bathe and worship heaven.
In four days, the 2,000-mile journey was easily accomplished at the speed of a falcon. Although the prince often felt distressed that only one of the three falcons came back, and there was still confusion among the feathers, and the eagle pecked at the belt.
Blood.
"Well……"
A deathly silence filled the hall. Yun Qin felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his head. He subconsciously wanted to stand up and shout at Prince Chang, but his legs were too weak to stand up, and his hands were trembling. "You ,you……"
"What a good King of Tang, what a good King of Tang..." This means that he will never stop until the Northern Han Dynasty is subdued!
Yun Qin couldn't wait to drag Wang Zichang and all the others down and chop them down immediately.
Hey, why do people have so many extra shadows? Is it because they are dazzled?...Why is it dark again?
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..." Someone seemed to be calling me in my ears, but what were they talking about?
"Report..."
Who is shouting again? Yunqin feels like he is fluttering, fluttering...
"Report——, the great victory in Weizhong..."
"Report——, the great victory in Weizhong..." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
