The early morning light shines through clusters of emerald green bamboo leaves, and the pale bamboo leaves cover the white walls. Behind the moon gate, a winding path leads to a shrine. Moss crawls on the bluestone in front of the steps. The whole garden is quiet, with the sound of armor leaves and swords clashing.
The door appeared, injecting a chill into the silence.
Across the hall door, Han Ziwei is in front. He has been the leader of the society for twenty years. He is not old. He is middle-aged and looks cold and majestic. Behind him is a group of real people who come to worship in front of the shrine: "I have something urgent to ask to see Emperor Wa.
."
The old wooden door creaked open, and a woman in light-colored palace clothes came out. Her face was dignified and beautiful, but her body was a little transparent, but she was a clone formed by long exposure to incense and a little bit of spirituality. She glanced at them and said, "Is the enemy coming?
"
"Yes, I and others failed to contain the news due to poor intelligence. The Hunan Dynasty has raided more than a dozen strongholds near Gyeonggi, half of which failed to be evacuated in time. Under the massive arrests and torture, someone may have leaked the secret, or the first generation of Han people in the core can hold on.
However, the untouched second generation of the Han Dynasty may not be able to withstand the torture, and the hired natives will leak a lot of relevant information... According to the mole rumors in the court, the emperor was furious and ordered people to draft an expedition plan - according to rumors and military
Judging from the news, an army of 400,000 might be mobilized for a conquest.
"It's hard for a dragon to hide in shallow water. The second generation has multiplied and the good and bad are mixed. There will always be times when you can't hide it. It's not your fault..." Nuwa pondered, with some doubts, and frowned slightly: "With the army of 400,000, could it be that the emperor personally conquered it?"
Han Ziwei shook his head: "There is a lot of controversy, and the specific plan is not yet clear, but there is intelligence that the emperor has summoned several senior generals, but there is no news of preparations for personal expedition, nor preparations of going on stage to pay homage to the generals and grant military power——
This is different from the rising period of our history when Qin conquered Chu. In the declining period, the dynasty did not dare to delegate military power to others. The details are still being explored..."
"But looking at the Qi, I see that the dragon Qi of the Xiang Dynasty has regained its vitality. It can be said that it is a centipede insect, dead but not stiff. Binzhou is not very far from the imperial capital. We cannot wait for the imperial army to come over. We need to make plans early."
"That is about Wang Mang's conquest..." Nuwa made an estimate and roughly understood what they meant by early planning. She only said: "Whether it is an uprising or a transfer, I can't make the decision alone. Wait a moment, I will go and talk to you.
Ye Jun communicates..."
A delicate fragrance enters the palace, and a stream of dragon energy rises into the sky, like smoke like a pillar. When the dragon energy of the Xiang Dynasty is revitalized and strengthened, no matter it is a return to light or a resurgence, it means the strengthening of the blockade force. At this time, only this empress
He can borrow a little dragon energy from the Han people to communicate with the dragon energy of the Han nation on the ground.
"The Lord Ye you are talking about...is your Majesty, right?"
The ministers thought in their hearts, seeing this kind of communication between yin and yang, they felt a strong backing invisibly supporting them, so they all calmed down and waited quietly.
Han Ziwei sent a message to the beautiful woman in green shirt behind him: "Don't worry, junior sister, the Xiang Dynasty occupies the dark side and the dragon's energy is not exhausted. However, we Han people occupy the yang side and the dragon's energy is prosperous. This battle will detect the trend of the Hunan Dynasty in advance.
You have already grasped the strategic initiative. If things go wrong, you can ask the Empress Wa to transfer her. The strength of the Hunan Dynasty will become weaker with each subsequent move...
Not long after, Nuwa smiled and lowered her hands to give them a decree. She did not read out: "Your Majesty and I have discussed it. At this time, we cannot give in. We will organize an uprising immediately."
"But it cannot be as scattered as the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Han Dynasty. Pay attention to a unified plan to coordinate the strength of various states."
"The general policy is that General Sun Ce and 3,000 armored soldiers in the ship will land immediately, organize your forces in the lower areas, concentrate on attacking remote states and counties, occupy the states and establish a government system."
"As for the imperial court's frontal crusade, the second ship landing will be loaded with more than ten thousand Taoist soldiers, sorcerers, and even real-person regiments to destroy the enemy's front, giving you the space and opportunity to sweep in from the rear, and then gather troops to attack... We will leave the details
It’s no longer necessary to get involved, General Bo Fu and all of you are experts, and we will come up with a plan after discussion.”
"Your Majesty, please take your orders." Han Ziwei respectfully took the decree. When he left, he glanced at it, put it in his sleeve, and then kowtowed and asked for instructions: "The Han family cannot be without a king. I also ask the empress to ask your majesty to ask a clan to descend."
"Your Majesty has already predicted that Liu Zhen, the fourteenth generation of the Han Dynasty, will descend. You just have to make him emperor."
"I obey the decree."
Han Ziwei didn't have any doubts at this time and passed it on to the people around him after he went out.
Everyone was circulating outside the courtyard. When they first saw the mud seal "Ordered by Heaven, May You Live Longevity" on it, they felt the dragon's aura on it and were overjoyed: "Your Majesty's will."
Yunying was a little confused: "Ziwei, you only have this blessing and no other reinforcements to support you?"
"I heard that there is a time gap. It takes twenty years to be in the soil, but only two months to be on the ground... His Majesty's fleet may not be able to arrive in a day or two for the transition of the expedition, so it will take a long time for us to be in the soil."
Han Ziwei said very strictly. Seeing that the Taoist couple was a little worried, he turned to comfort: "But don't underestimate this decree. The uprising was originally scattered in various states. The biggest disadvantage is that the national system has not been established, and the authority has not been established, so it is difficult to enforce orders and prohibitions."
"Every generation of uprisings was planted here. Even if one generation of reincarnated Han people is loyal, most of the second generation will be born to indigenous women. Although they have been influenced by Han culture and have a sense of identity with the Han people, they may not identify with the central core of Binzhou.
This is the tissue effect of excessive expansion.”
"But with your Majesty's decree, the first generation of Han people who held real power obeyed the order and immediately organized the scattered sand into a system. Your Majesty also knows this. You see, he lowered the army to resist at the front and trained and organized our troops in the rear.
Institutional space and time.”
Yunying blinked and realized: "With this time, the originally weak and scattered tribesmen gathered together and became stronger."
"In fact, no matter how we fight, we have to fight hard. No one stipulates that we have to fight to the death?"
Han Ziwei laughed and said cheerfully: "The Hunan Dynasty is the dragon of decline, and we are the dragon of rebirth. Time is on our side. Even if the Hunan Dynasty can actually raise 400,000, as long as we manage to survive or avoid the first wave
If it is sharp, the Hunan Dynasty will not be able to hold on if it is delayed."
"Not to mention the 400,000 army salary, this person must have food and grass even if he eats horse chews, right? The only difference is how to consume the power of the Hunan Dynasty as quickly as possible. We must know that we are racing against time. The evolution of the earth will end in only seventy-eight years.
, being able to fight for a few more years means that there will be tens of thousands more Yanghua in the end, and this is the overall benefit that your Majesty has considered for everyone."
When everyone met each other, their hearts felt warm.
Xiangyin·Imperial Capital
Troops have been appearing outside the city and setting up camps one after another since a month ago. The blacksmith shop in the city is the happiest, because they are needed to make weapons and repair armor. Due to their connections, the military officers from various areas at the foot of the imperial city dare not
If you don't give me any money, it's a good war fortune.
Since this morning, the Forbidden Army camp in the city has become even more crowded. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor is going to inspect the army in person, which has attracted many citizens to come and watch.
The enthusiasm of the people in the imperial capital for politics is unimaginable to outsiders. Many people on the road, in wine shops, and teahouses are talking about it: "Could the emperor want to conquer the country himself?"
"It doesn't seem to be the case. A few days ago, an earthen platform was built in the school grounds, and it looked like he was about to go on the stage to pay homage to the general..." A strong man rubbed his chin, very envious: "I wonder which general it will be, with an army of 400,000.
."
"How can I pay homage to a general at this time of year?" A scholar sneered, naturally feeling resentful. When others saw that his clothes were not decorated with honors, they understood the resentment very well and smiled without replying.
"I heard a rumor that my uncle's cousin's family was a court official. It was said that several generals were competing with each other, so His Majesty Yu Jian decided to divide and conquer." The man looked around proudly, showing off his news.
Well-informed, drinkers also gathered over to inquire about the news.
The scholar took a breath: "Hey, it's not a good sign to order a long position... Uh, I didn't say anything."
There was a large space beside him, like a snake and a scorpion, and no one dared to answer this guy.
The crowds on the street were still rushing towards the Forbidden Army camp. The review was on the campus of the camp. The place was very wide, and it was blocked by the crowds of soldiers and soldiers. It was not visible outside the camp. I only saw people on a high platform.
After saying something, it was spread through the amplification array, and many soldiers in the audience seemed to be listening attentively.
But it was too far to reach the entrance of the camp. The people outside the camp looked at each other. They could hear a man's voice speaking. It was too far away and I didn't know what he meant. I could only hear people shouting "Long live" and "Long live" from below the high platform.
"Long live the victory", and then the sound spread, and the soldiers on the periphery shouted "Long live" and "Long live the victory".
When the people saw it, they thought: Come on, let's shout too.
"Long live--"
So the whole city and the mountains shouted "Long live", and the emperor stood on the stage and listened, watching the forest of swords and guns shining brightly in the sun. He finally understood why the heroes in history liked military parades. This kind of unity of all people.
Mastering the feeling gives people a sense of self-confidence that expands both physically and mentally. At this moment, he feels like he was doing a ritual to worship the heavens... No, it's even worse than that.
The emperor still had to wait for heaven to respond when he offered sacrifices to the sky, but what response would he get after fifteen years of ascending the throne? He still had to worry about this. After he came back from offering sacrifices to the sky every year, within half a month, the taste of his meals was no longer right.
But only then did he truly feel that he was an emperor, the first person in the world to bow to him.
The only pity was that he couldn't go on the expedition in person, and couldn't see with his own eyes those Han rebels, regardless of gender, old or young, kneeling at his feet. The emperor thought with some regret, looked back and said to the three generals: "I'll leave it to Pan to do this conquest."
, the three generals Shen and Fan."
The three of them looked at each other with sparks in their eyes, and they all bowed to the emperor: "I will return in triumph and present the thief's head to your majesty."
The civil servants flattered and congratulated several generals on their victory. Only a few old generals with gray beards pretended to be puppets with wooden faces. They did not dare to show discordant expressions and make the emperor suspicious. They were already cursing secretly in their hearts: "A large army is divided into three parts.
Each is coordinated by three generals. Whoever fool came up with this genius idea is really killable.
"The emperor has been on the throne for fifteen years. There are no problems in political affairs, and the military affairs are sound. How can he commit such a military taboo?"
But this cannot be said in any way.
With the city full of excitement and everyone's unpredictable thoughts, the imperial army marched out of the city in three waves, gradually joined forces with the soldiers outside, and rushed to Binzhou - the place where the thieves were based according to previous intelligence.
"I heard that the Fuhan Society is actually a religious group that enshrines a saint?" Pan Guanghong rode his horse on the official road, looked back at the general and said with a smile: "When I capture her alive and present it to His Majesty, I will make those two guys mad."
The general smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief is brave enough to conquer the three armies, how can anyone else compare with him?"
"This is over..." Pan Guanghong laughed heartily.
When the general of the team behind heard this, his face became a little ugly, but he was cold and said nothing. He said calmly: "After defeating the enemy, you are allowed to wash the city... Whoever breaks through first will be rewarded by me in front of His Majesty." "
"We are willing to fight for Marshal Shen." The generals expressed their war intentions in Jian, and they all had a clear conscience - who in the army didn't know that Pan and Shen had old grievances? They wanted to fight for it everywhere.
Fan Changxu, who was at the end of the battle, shook his head when he saw this. He was a stable man and did not have the power to suppress the superiors and subordinates. He could not intervene in the conflicts between his two colleagues. He could only encourage his subordinates: "Pay attention to military discipline in the local area. You are allowed to do whatever you want in the thieves' area." , just don’t go too far...if you seize it, you are not allowed to keep it for yourself, it must be handed over before being distributed."
The military orders of each branch of the army were different, but they had the same thing in common - the soldiers' eyes were all burning, as if they were seeing the gold and silver property, silk and satin, and beauties swaggering in front of them, waiting for them.
The sky was clear, the smoke and dust obscured the figures of the army, and there were a few shadows in the air. He sneered: "At first glance, I thought it was an outing. Does this count as a war?"
"Aboriginals... They are all like this. At first I almost thought the matter was exposed. It turned out to be an uprising from another religious group. It is strange to say that the Binzhou religious group is named after the Fuhan. Do you think this, fellow Taoist Zhang, will be the same as Ye Qing's Han natives? Is there some relationship?"
"Who knows, the reincarnations of Xiatu and Heishui may be connected with each other, but this is Xiatu in Xiangzhou, the territory of Zhangwei Village, and Ye Qing's hand can't reach this long..." Zhang Jiao laughed and said very He said calmly: "There is a saying in the Han Dynasty that the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Neither the imperial court nor the Han people have discovered that we are preaching underground. We just took the opportunity to deal with the imperial court and the Han people in one go..."
As he spoke, several black shadows disappeared into the air.
