Tong Guan, who concealed the emperor's edict, led the three-way army, marched all the way, killed Hehuang Tubo and abandoned his armor, and expanded his territory for more than 3,000 miles in a war.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Hehuang Tubo has been persecuting the local Han people, forcibly promoting the policy of Tubo to the Han people, forcing the Han people to change to Tubo costumes and wearing Tubo hairstyles, which caused the majority of Han people to resist, and Tubo went on a killing spree.

Nearly a million sons and daughters of the Han family became slaves of Tibet, and those who unfortunately became slaves of the country were forced to wear Hu clothes, learn to speak the Tibetan language, and get ochre tattoos.

The young entourage will beg for the river, and return to his hometown when his head is white. The 100,000 Han army was scattered, blowing alone and bending towards the remnant sun.

This is the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the pain left behind, and finally the shame in the Song Dynasty.

In Huangcheng, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and Tong Guan took a deep breath very enjoyably, he liked the fishy air.

Wang Hou and Gao Yongnian were both in armor, with blood on the muzzle of the gun, and came to the banner to hug their fists and said: "Congratulations to Tong Shuai, for this great achievement." ”

Tong Guan's face was straight, he stretched out his hand, and clasped his fists towards the two of them and said: "Tens of thousands of athletes came with a certain family, and no less than seven or eight thousand died in a battle. Today, I will not celebrate the merits, but I will make a count of the list of fallen soldiers, and I don't want a single reward from the imperial court, and everyone who died in battle has a share. If there are no relatives of brothers and grandmothers in the family, their orphans will be raised by someone! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the vicinity had tears in their eyes, and a wave of respect arose.

Under the banner, the burly Tong Guan stood tall, his face sinking like water, and a young general sighed: "Straight lady thief, follow such commanders, crisscross the field, what's the harm in dying?" ”

Although Tong Guan is deeply involved in the play, he has been secretly paying attention to everyone's performance, and he is not without complacency.

Sure enough, as he said, after the victory, the army did not have any celebrations, until the next day, Tong Guan gathered three armies, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and cleared the inventory of the Tubo people.

The generals at the banquet drank heavily, and the captives of the Tubo people in the northwest were escorted up in batches, and those who were beheaded were beheaded, those who were sent to Bianliang were sent to Bianliang, and the songs and dances in the army were especially heroic.

Tong Guan stood on the high platform and pressed his hand against the soldiers, and in an instant, the three armies were solemn, and they all looked at this burly eunuch.

Tong Guan took out an edict from his sleeve and said loudly: "This is my emperor's edict, do you know the contents?" ”

Gao Yongning said with a smile: "Didn't Tong Shuai say a few days ago, the official family encouraged us to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and now that the enemy has been broken, we are here to celebrate." ”

Tong Guan smiled and said: "At that time, the three armies were about to be issued, and a certain had to lie about it, but in fact, it was an official edict to a certain family, let us withdraw our troops and stop the war." But we have lost so many brothers, and victory is just around the corner, and the end of the war is not a waste of all the achievements we have made. ”

There was a commotion below, and the wine glass in Gao Yongning's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the splashed wine wet his military boots, and Mu Ran said: "So.. Is it not the sin of deceitful kings, and it is to destroy the people? ”

Tong Guan said in a deep voice: "If a certain person is the commander, how can he not take responsibility, if he is defeated in this battle and a certain person is exterminated, and the credit for the victory is shared with you, a certain person will be relieved." ”

As the news spread, the three armies all admired it, and on this day, Tong Guan went to the northwest for the first time, and he gathered the military heart of this group of proud soldiers.

The Western Army has not had enough to eat for decades, and since the beginning of the Zhezong period, the imperial court has been in arrears with the Western Army's military salaries. These most capable soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty fought with the Dangxiang people, the Qiang people, and the Tubo people in turn to fight hungry, guarding the northwest border pass where the wind and sand pierced the armor.

They needed a commander who was weighty and in charge of the Western Army, and Tong Guan came here at the most opportune time.

He could have kept the edict a secret and saved a trace of face for the emperor, but Zhao Ji wrote this edict among the ministers, and the paper could not contain the fire. Tong Guan did not choose to cover up the emperor's shame, but showed it generously and won the hearts of the Western Army, which was a great adventure.

What Yang Lin told him before deeply affected him, and winning the battle in the Great Song Dynasty was the biggest reliance. There are people in his court, and as long as he has a record, no one can move him.

When the news reached Bianliang, it was just the time when the list was released, and Zhao Ji was still very happy after a while of embarrassment.

No emperor of any dynasty has a greater desire for martial arts than the Great Song Dynasty, just because they founded the country on the tip of the sword. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have always been a barrier against the northern grassland peoples, but the Great Song Dynasty has never had it, which is the natural destiny of the Song Dynasty.

Since Tong Guan won the battle, and he made him in charge despite the public opinion, Zhao Ji was not without pride. Coupled with the praise of Cai Jing and others, and the skillful laying of steps for the emperor, Zhao Ji felt more face-saving, and the slightest unhappiness had long since disappeared.

Zhao Ji was promoted to Tongguan in the hall and promoted to Xihe Lanhuang and Qinfeng Road Jingluo pacification envoys, and became the highest military and political governor in the Northwest Border Region.

Bianliang City, under the list of Jinshi, countless people are crowded.

Some people laughed loudly, some people cried bitterly, some people mourned, some people cried with joy...

In Changle Building, Ning Er was bare-footed and combed her hair in front of the bronze mirror. It's just a pair of eyes, looking back from the mirror from time to time, looking at the shadow of Xiao Langjun.

Behind her, Yang Lin's demeanor was slightly frivolous, and he was holding a golden cup and looking into the distance by the railing, seeing the prosperity of Bianliang. The jade belt around his waist is half tied, the robe is loose, and there is a smooth and flawless white jade pendant under the waist, which looks like he has just woken up.

Downstairs in Changle, Yang San, who came panting, had a happy face, and shouted in a loud voice: "Young master, young master, hit!" ”

The surrounding pedestrians stopped to see which childe high school it was.

Yang San was even more proud, held his head high, patted his chest, and then shouted loudly with his thumb: "Congratulations to my young master Yang San, the first in this provincial examination in high school, my young master Yang San won two yuan in a row, and it was Yangzhou Xie Yuan." ”

The pedestrians next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded angrily: "That little guy, Tai is also arrogant, and after shouting for a long time, I know that your name is Yang San, but I want to talk about the name of our provincial Yuanlang." ”

"That's it, who rarely knows that your name is Yang San."

Yang San was scolded by passers-by for being disgraced, hiding his face and fleeing, causing a burst of laughter from the pedestrians around him. The two local people in Bianliang pointed at him and smiled: "Looking at the little guy, you can really pretend." ”

The other continued: "Who said it wasn't, it's a shame now, haha." ”

Ning Er was surprised, turned her head and clapped her hands happily, and then bent down and said, "Congratulations to Da Lang, congratulations to Da Lang!" ”

After a loud laugh, Yang Lin on the tall building successfully attracted everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "The branches and leaves of the article are five clouds, and the fame is like a cloud of smoke with me." He Zudao, Yang Lin is not uncommon. ”

The two old Bianliang downstairs were stunned in place, and after a while, they whispered: "I take back what I just said, or his young master is more capable of pretending." ”
