Chapter 1213: The Most Beautiful Man in the World's Road to Power (44)
This is actually the first time Xie Zhao has faced such a large-scale war.
With his ability, it was not difficult for one person to break through the encirclement, but he stayed by Huan Lin's side and refused to leave. He took a sip of wolfberry tea and continued to pick up his spear to fight the enemy.
Huan Lin felt very complicated.
Logically speaking, even if Xie Zhao was taken over from Gu Mo, he was still in Cao Ying but his heart was with Han, and he had no loyalty to him at all?
Now they are fighting to the death to protect each other, which really makes him unable to understand.
He couldn't help but ask Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao said with a wooden face: "When I went out with the army, the Taifu told me that Da Sima is the mountain of Jing Dynasty and the people of the world. The mountain cannot be fallen."
Huan Lin was stunned.
He realized that he had indeed underestimated Gu Mo's situation.
The two people became enemies due to conflicts of interest and political disputes, but after fighting, Gu Mo was indeed much better off than those aristocratic families.
People from those aristocratic families were afraid of trouble and did not dare to go to the battlefield, but they were also afraid that the people leading the troops would have heavy troops. Therefore, every time in the past years during the Northern Expedition, half of the expedition was destroyed at the hands of the aristocratic families.
Even though he held great power, he was worried about being stabbed by the noble family when he sent troops abroad, so he did not dare to go all out in every Northern Expedition.
Especially this time, he was even prepared to be plotted by Gu Mo.
He never thought that in the end, the person who could protect him on the battlefield would be the one given to him by Gu Mo.
Xie Zhao had no food, grass, or reinforcements, so he fought with the Hu people for three days, and finally completely annihilated the enemy army.
He himself was seriously injured, with almost no good flesh on his body.
He also used his last breath to carry the seriously injured Huan Lin back to the camp.
When the military doctor looked at his injuries, he was also shocked by the injuries all over his body.
After being cut down like this, you can still carry Da Sima back on your back. How much willpower does it take to do this?
The military doctor sighed:
"General Xie is a true hero."
Everyone in the army was convinced of Xie Zhao because of this incident.
Huan Lin's injury was not much better, and he began to discuss military strategies with his subordinates without even recovering.
At the same time, he was also worried.
After dealing with those aristocratic families for so many years, Huan Lin knew their character very well.
They are all good at fighting internally.
In the past, they did not dare to be too blatant when they had the power to dominate the government and the opposition. Now that there is Gu Ziji, those aristocratic families are only afraid that he will fight with Gu Ziji. In the government, they are afraid...
Just as I was thinking this, some of my subordinates came to report that a letter had arrived from the DPRK and that many new weapons had been sent to support the three armies.
Huan Lin first looked at the weapons. Those weapons all had the Gujiabao logo printed on them. It could be seen that they were funded by Gu Mo personally and had nothing to do with the imperial court.
Looking at the letters again, they were all written by members of the Huan clan, telling him the current situation in the court so that he would not have to worry about anything in the future.
Huan Lin felt complicated.
His biggest goal at this stage is actually to remove Gu Mo, the obstacle that prevents him from ascending to the throne.
But in the end, it was Gu Mo who fully supported his Northern Expedition, cleared all obstacles for him, and protected his Huan clan members at the rear.
He finally knew that the person in the world who could sympathize with him the most was Gu Ziji
The person in the world that Huan Da Sima admired the most was Gu Ziji.
Gu Ziji is his enemy, but he is also the only friend he can trust.
In the subsequent battles, the Jing Dynasty army and the Hu army were almost tied, unable to gain the upper hand.
The turning point came when the person Gu Mo gave to Huan Lin.
In every official entrance examination, there is a geography question.
This year's geography topic is drawing maps.
Only one person answered this question, and he answered it very beautifully.
This person is the person Gu Mo gave Huan Lin. Although he is a child of an aristocratic family, he is very talented in map drawing, and his memory and spatial thinking are very strong. As long as he has walked through or heard someone describe a place, he can
Ability to accurately draw local maps.
Forget it, he also figured out the drawing method of the scale by himself.
Gu Mo valued his talent in this area and sent him to Huan Lin.
Because he was a pampered son of an aristocratic family, he could not go to the battlefield at all. After arriving in the army, he spent every day doing nothing, wandering around, or bragging to others.
After wandering around and talking, I drew a complete map of the local area.
It was from this map that Huan Lin found a way to defeat the enemy. In the end, the enemy retreated hastily north.
This battle was won, and the descendant of the drawing family became famous all over the world, which even shocked his father.
He had given up all hope for his son, who had always been uneducated and incompetent. Unexpectedly, he finally achieved military success and became famous all over the world. His reputation directly surpassed that of his most valued sons.
The family, which had been gradually declining, rose again because of this son.
He suddenly remembered what Gu Ziji said that day - the ancestors' shelter will eventually be exhausted, but the descendants can regain the glory of their ancestors by relying on their own merits.
Yes, of those old aristocratic families that have always enjoyed glory thanks to the blessing of their ancestors, how many are left now?
As for the aristocratic families that later emerged, which one’s patriarch did not rely on his own merits to achieve success?
The biggest problem of these aristocratic families is that they believe that the achievements of one generation can be used for eternity, so they are content with the status quo, and in the end they are caught off guard by the rising poor families.
Therefore, what made their family unable to gain a foothold was never Gu Ziji or the poor family, but the family itself.
Huan Lin's Northern Expedition this time was more ferocious than any other.
Because he had no worries, he could fight this battle to his heart's content. In addition, Gu Jiabao's cooperation in the end made him even more powerful and full of confidence in this battle.
Four months later, two-thirds of the Central Plains had been conquered by Huan Lin.
This news is extremely exciting, as if people have already seen the day when the familiar land of the Central Plains returned to the hands of the Han people.
Many people who were forced to move south finally returned to their hometown.
Many poets full of heroic ambitions, facing the sea to the east and the Central Plains to the north, left countless poems praising Huan Lin's Northern Expedition.
What the ancestors could not accomplish was at least half accomplished by Huan Lin.
If winter had not come and the natural environment had not prevented the Northern Expedition, Huan Lin would have been able to regain the old mountains and rivers in one fell swoop this time.
When his class teacher returned to the court, when he saw Gu Mo, he rushed over and gave Gu Mo a big hug and a kiss.
Gu Mo was so frightened that he vomited a large mouthful of blood, which spread all over Huan Lin's face.
Huan Lin, “…??
No, you actually touch me too???
When Gu Mo really passed away, Huan Lin discovered that Gu Mo had really vomited blood this time.
