On the one hand, this war was still a great decline in the morale of the empire, and the overall combat effectiveness had more or less declined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Through the grapevine, it is said that after learning of the outcome of the war with His Majesty the Emperor, he was directly furious in the court, dismissed many court officials, and put forward the slogan of reform in a big way.

But until now, five full years later, although the slogan of reform has been loudly called, it has achieved very few results.

Maybe the emperor above, who is the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, doesn't know the reason, but those of them who are neither high nor low in society know the reason why the reform has been failing.

The reform tasks issued by the imperial court were disobeyed by the local officials below, and the local tyrants even bribed the supervision envoys sent by the imperial court to be responsible for supervision. And the supervision envoy even lied about the achievements of the reform in order to fool the emperor.

One side is so, one side is so. In this way, officials protect each other, and it is conceivable that the reform has not been effective at all in all parts of the country.

Not to mention those wealthy families with great economic influence, and the strong resistance to reform from the noble families with major political influence.

The reason for all this is due to the two words "profit!"

Yes, it's the interests.

State reform is a reform of the state system and system, and this kind of large-scale reform is bound to involve the interests of countless people, and in order to safeguard their own interests, there will inevitably be countless moths clinging to the body of the state to jump out and severely obstruct the reform.

In the eyes of these moths. The interests of the state are far inferior to their own.

It is conceivable that if there are huge interests that are difficult to refuse, these moths will not hesitate to abandon their own country or even nation.

However, these moths are actually very pitiful, they think they are the so-called human superiority, the existence of overriding everything, but in fact they are just slaves enslaved by financial interests.

Without further ado, his gaze turned back to the East City Tower.

I saw that Lao Sima continued to lightly say to everyone present: "At that time, I was still a general of the border troops in the northern frontier of the empire. (in charge of the military office of a hundred)"

"At that time, China's northern frontier was invaded by the Xiongnu Empire, and as the border troops in northern Xinjiang, we rose up to resist, but unfortunately we were still defeated by these dogs and fled by the Hun army. Speaking of this, Lao Sima's face couldn't help but show anger and helplessness.

But when the people present heard the inscribed word "escape", several soldiers asked suspiciously: "Why is it fleeing, could it be..."

"Huh. Old Sima smiled bitterly, and a look of memory couldn't help but appear on his face, as if he would be on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang five years ago.

"At that time, there were 100 officers and soldiers in my cantonment, and by the time the whole army was defeated and fled, and the troops were regrouped, only 16 people remained. A sad look appeared on Old Sima's face.

Hearing the number of battle losses reported by Lao Sima, everyone present was shocked. A glimpse of the whole leopard, from the number of old Sima's battle losses, you can also think of how cruel the war should have been at that time.

Could it be that the Hun army was already so strong?

Surprised to surprised, Lao Sima still has to continue to listen.

"Later, the imperial court sent the First Army of the Empire to the expedition, and we didn't know until we had collected our troops in the northern frontier..."

"What do you know?" all the military commanders present asked in unison.

The East City Gate official glanced at the military commanders present and frowned slightly, but did not say anything.

"Of the 100,000 troops on the border of Northern Xinjiang, there are only more than 10,000 troops after the final collection. And General Weibei, who served as the border troops in northern Xinjiang, died bravely on the battlefield. Speaking of this, Old Sima's face couldn't help but become even more gloomy.

Five years later, do I still feel so sad about this painful memory......

When everyone present heard Lao Sima's words, they were all silent, obviously expressing their due condolences to those soldiers who died bravely at that time.

Old Sima was very bitter in his heart, but he continued to say slowly: "Later, the First Army of the Empire and the Hun army that invaded my Qianyuan Empire had a final decisive battle, and everyone knows the final result of the decisive battle, so I won't say much here." Although I did not participate in the final battle, I also participated in this war. So, I can tell you very clearly......"

Finally, when it came to the most critical place, everyone present immediately cheered up and listened.

"So, this so-called black spot, according to my judgment, is eighty percent an army. Old Sima said with a solemn face.

Hearing Lao Sima's explanation, everyone present fully believed Lao Sima's previous judgment on this black spot.

But then, everyone present reacted, if this black spot thing is really an army, and it is still an enemy army......

Everyone present couldn't help but feel a little scared, and a look of horror appeared on everyone's face.

Immediately, the East City Gate official involuntarily wiped the unwarranted cold sweat on his forehead, and said to the military masters present: "Since this is the case, then I must go to the city lord cleanly, and I will leave first." ”

Seeing that the East City Gate official said this, all the military commanders present returned the salute one after another.

After speaking, the city gate official strode out of the city gate tower with two personal soldiers, went straight down the city wall, rode on a war horse, and galloped towards the inner city with three people and three horses.

The road is full of bustling, crowded, bustling, shoulder to shoulder. However, when the people on the street saw the three people and three horsemen rushing from the direction of the east city gate, they all avoided as fast as they could, lest they be hit by these three people and three horsemen.

These three people, riding horses in the downtown area, are so fast that they look like they are carrying important information or important people. Even if they are killed, no one will come to their mercy. And who would be so idiotic as to not take their lives seriously?

The trio of three horsemen soon galloped past, leaving behind a mess of the city and scolding vendors.

However, they did not dare to scold any more, because another patrol came from the direction of the east gate, and if they heard it, it would be indispensable to be imprisoned.

peacetime
