Chapter 1220 The Way of the Most Beautiful Man in the World (51)
The assassins came one after another, but Gu Mo was not harmed at all.
And five years later, when Gu Mo was forty-two years old, the south was well rested and its troops were in full swing, ready to go north.
Moreover, Gu Mo personally led the troops.
On the day of the expedition, the bells and drums were ringing, and the troops were in great numbers. The young emperor and the ministers of the court personally escorted Gu Mo out of the city.
The little emperor also pretended to shed a few crocodile tears.
"Father, you must come back safely, we can't live without you in this world!"
Gu Mo touched his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Yafu will definitely come back alive."
Little emperor, "..."
In fact, you don’t have to be so serious about coming back alive...
Seeing his twitching expression, Gu Mo laughed loudly, got on his horse and left.
Nowadays, two-thirds of the people in the imperial court are from poor families.
They do not have the foundation of aristocratic families, nor do they cling to aristocratic families, so naturally they have less thoughts about fighting for power and gain.
At least at this time, they all fully supported Gu Mo's Northern Expedition.
Therefore, Gu Mo didn't have to worry about the imperial court's rear.
And in this expedition, Yun Niang was also in the team, which was naturally approved by Gu Mo.
Over the years, although Yun Niang and Gu Mo were just a couple on the surface, they had a deeper relationship than a couple.
To her, Gu Mo was an elder and a mentor, the one who allowed her to see a different world in this world.
Her feelings for Gu Mo have long gone beyond the world.
This Northern Expedition was the first time that Gu Mo led troops to the battlefield in person. She was worried after all. The only way she could think of to stop worrying was to advance and retreat together with Gu Mo.
She lives when Gu Mo is dead, and she dies when Gu Mo dies.
She originally thought that Gu Mo would not agree, and was worried for a long time, but she did not expect that Gu Mo agreed.
"The battlefield is dangerous, but if you insist on going, I won't stop you."
The war has begun, with thousands of troops marching in front, and thousands of people standing on the wall.
At first, the Hu people were clamoring to capture the regent of the Southern Dynasties alive and unify the Central Plains.
As a result, the Jing Dynasty's army took the north to conquer the Central Plains and swallowed up Jinzhou. It was overwhelming all the way and wiped out more than ten political powers in the north within half a month.
The Hu people chased them to the north, their bodies were buried, and the smoke and blood filled the entire Central Plains.
However, unifying the north cannot be accomplished in an instant.
Why did the southern court fail to successfully unify the north after so many years of the Northern Expedition?
In addition to the internal conflicts in the Southern Dynasties, it was also related to objective conditions.
There are too many political powers in the north. As soon as one is killed, another one will appear immediately.
Gu Mo's way of dealing with it was to continue to use iron-blooded methods to suppress them forcefully, dragging the ones who stood up to the street and beheading them all.
You take a chance and give it a try? If you take a chance, I will kill you, no matter what tribe you are.
People are greedy for life and afraid of death. In the face of absolute power, if you know how much you are worth, you will naturally not dream of becoming an emperor by just gathering a team and raising an army.
This Northern Expedition lasted for two years.
As a scholar, Gu Ziji conquered the Huns, conquered the vast sea, and became famous throughout the world.
In the past two years, people around her have died one after another.
Song Daobo blocked her arrow and died. Before he died, he held her hand and said:
"The world cannot be without me, but it cannot be without impartiality."
Over the years, many people and many things have changed, but Gu Mo’s original intention remains unchanged and his radiance remains the same.
This is the reason why Song Daobo always follows him and is willing to go through life and death for him.
Although he could not see the day when the rivers and mountains would be unified and the world would be at peace, he believed that after this battle, his descendants would enjoy the hard-won prosperity for him.
When Song Daobo died, Gu Mo felt a little uncomfortable.
In the future, when she shouted, "Uncle Dao, hurry up, make me a pot of big tonic soup", no one would bring a steaming pot of big tonic soup.
The sacrifices continued, but the pace of the Northern Expedition did not stop.
Among them, Mrs. Cui, who was exiled back then, helped Gu Mo a lot.
When she was exiled, Gu Mo left her a letter. It was that letter that inspired Mrs. Cui's fighting spirit that had been dormant for many years.
She organized several people to attack the barbarians who came to harass her in the place of exile, and finally raised an army of her own.
Finally, this army, together with Mrs. Cui, was incorporated into the Northern Expedition and made great contributions to the Northern Expedition.
Cui Rong, who was famous in Jiankang City back then, was already dying.
When she was exiled, she still thought that she would make a comeback sooner or later.
But when she really left Jiankang City and became a lower class person, she realized how terrible the beautiful era she once praised was.
Her beauty did not do her any good when she was almost boiled.
Although Mrs. Cui rescued her in time, more sufferings followed. While she was suffering, she discovered that she had abscesses on her body.
Only then did she realize that she actually had that disease.
Medical conditions in ancient times were poor to begin with, not to mention it was a place of exile. Her condition became more and more serious, and it was already a miracle that she could survive until now.
When she died, Cui Rong couldn't believe that as a time-traveling woman, she could contract such a disease and die a coward in ancient times.
And when she died, Gu Mo's Northern Expedition just ended the war in the three counties around the exile, and she died just before the end of the troubled times. After her death, she would not have anything to do with the man who was about to shine in the annals of history.
implicated.
Because he is already the moon in the sky, and she is the earth below, no one will compare them together.
…
In the large-scale war that Gu Mo completely unified the north and south, Xie Zhao also died.
Over the years, he has suppressed countless powerful enemies with a single spear, fought with iron and steel, and devoured thousands of miles like a tiger.
Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, it can still pull out pear blossoms.
Gu Mo thought that this time should be like every time in the past. Although he would be injured, he would definitely return safely.
However, this time, the general with a silver spear and a white horse left in a heroic manner, and finally returned wrapped in horse leather.
When he was carried back, his eyes had not been closed, and he had been waiting to take a last look at his old friend.
When he saw Gu Mo's figure striding towards him, he finally smiled.
It's great. If the north and the south are unified, the world may not be at peace.
But if Gu Ziji is still alive, the world will always be at peace.
Xie Zhao finally closed his eyes
Gu Mo, who had not vomited blood for two years, after the last battle, looked at the body of Xie Tunan, the best general in the world, vomited blood and fell in front of the battle.
…
Since Gu Mo's Northern Expedition, the first thing the little emperor did when he woke up in Jiankang every day was to ask about the news coming back from the front line.
As time passed, he became more and more hopeful that Gu Mo would come back alive.
This is probably a dark to deep natural pink.
When Gu Mo finally returned to the court with his army, the young emperor found that his Yafu seemed to have gray hair on his head and he was haggard and old.
And the people who used to stand next to her were replaced by some unfamiliar faces.
"Father, where are General Xie and others?"
"Outside the palace, would your Majesty want to take a look?"
