The imperial city has fallen, a palace tower has been set on fire, and smoke is billowing out. The other cities of Jinyang either surrendered or were captured. The defenders were attacked from inside the city, and it was difficult to put up any effective resistance, and the wide ramps of several carriages running side by side within the walls could not be prevented.

The aftermath of the battle around the city is still happening, but for Guo Shaozhong's army, this war is over!

Guo Shao walked down from the tower of Nancheng City, and when he passed by the ramp of the city wall, his face was a little heavy, but he didn't speak, just silent. The ground was full of corpses, and there was almost no place to put your feet, so you could only walk on them. The boots were soaked with blood, and the socks were very slippery between the toes; Most of the blood on the masonry and corpses has coagulated, but there is still a lot of blood, presumably tissue fluid flowing out of the human body.

He has participated in too many battles, and he actually doesn't feel very big about this kind of scene in his heart, and he is a little numb...... But it's still uncomfortable. Because he was not a man of hatred of human beings, he had compassion for people and many of the most intuitive emotions.

Walking down the city, there were still many post-war matters to be returned and arranged, and the surrounding generals and ministers saw that Guo Shao didn't pay much attention to them, so they arranged everything for him.

Guo Shao's previous nervous, efficient, and sharp performance was gone, and his firm and categorical words disappeared, and at this time, he was not even so decisive and powerful, and became silent and slow.

Even he himself was very strange, he thought that he would be pleasantly surprised and excited after the capture of Jinyang, but when this moment came, he only felt relieved. Perhaps the exuberance of self-aggrandizement will come slowly, but not in a certain moment; The fruits of victory are not intuitive, nor are they immediate, but they are far-reaching.

Lu Chengyong led the horse over, and after he got out of the city, he turned over and got on the horse, and led his elite soldiers along the main north-south road to the direction of the imperial city. Not long after, Wang Pu, who reported the former camp military government outside the city, also came into the city.

Guo Shao rode a horse in front of the imperial city of the Northern Han Kingdom and looked at it for a while, and it was the first time he saw the power center complex of this "Dragon City" with his own eyes. The inside and outside of the imperial city have been controlled by the Zhou army, and there are five steps and one sentry on the road to the city. Guo Shao rode his horse and pressed his sword straight into the imperial city.

Outside the main hall of the palace of the Northern Han Kingdom, Guo Shao waited for a while, and Wang Pu, Zuo You and others rushed up.

The surrounding Zhou soldiers found that the emperor riding on the tall black horse was shouting and cheering, but Guo Shao ignored it. He calmed down from his nervous and passionate emotions and considered the idea of dealing with the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Kingdom...... After ascending the throne, Guo Shao never went into battle in person; Winning victory after victory, he understood that success could be achieved not only by stirring up the emotions of the soldiers, precisely because he had taken the correct path in most practices, and was regulating the ideas of the army at all levels like a captain at the helm.

Wang Pu and the others dismounted and bowed down, Wang Pu's old face was very excited, and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Half Moon captured the capital of the Northern Han Kingdom!" The majesty of His Majesty, the world looks up. ”

"No courtesy." Guo Shao rolled over from his horse and threw the reins to Lu Chengyong, who was leading the horse in front.

Guo Shao pondered deeply and thought that he could not scold the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty like before the war...... At the very least, respect should be given to the master, because he himself is the ruler, and the position of the master should not be degraded too much; To instill in the soldiers and the people of the world the impression that the ruler is nothing if he loses is to find unhappiness in his own position.

He calmly said to Wang Pu: "The lord of the Northern Han Dynasty was bewitched by some traitorous courtiers in his own court, and those traitorous ministers led the Liao army to slaughter their own clan regardless of the righteousness for their own glory and wealth, so that the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty fell into injustice, and the people of Hedong and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered deeply, and the crime must be severely punished!" But the people of Hedong are always looking forward to the arrival of the king and saving the people from fire and water. ”

Wang Pu's face froze after hearing this, and he pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and you can see the shortcomings of the Northern Han Kingdom at a glance!" The officials of the former battalion military government will verify the evidence of the crime, and let those traitorous ministers be convicted justifiably, so as to comfort the world. ”

Guo Shao was very satisfied with Wang Pu's insight, and immediately pressed his sword and strode up the steps. The surrounding military generals and civil officials surrounded him, and a large group walked up to the palace of the Northern Han Kingdom.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he saw a young man in a yellow dragon robe, and two columns of civil and military generals kneeling in the hall. When people saw a group of people coming in, they looked up at Guo Shao and the others, and no one knew who the emperor was; Guo Shao was wearing a military uniform and armor, and he looked like a military general.

But suddenly, someone shouted: "The criminal ministers and others knock on the Great Zhou Emperor." ”

I don't know how you recognized Guo Shao...... It may be because you can see that the adults in purple official robes are surrounded by a man in armor.

Guo Shao strode up and walked straight to the person in the dragon robe, who should be Liu Jun, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu Jun held the jade seal with both hands at this time, holding it high above his head, and he couldn't say a word about the scene. Guo Shao noticed that his hands were trembling, and he was a little disappointed...... The Northern Han army is still very combative, but the family background left by Gaozu of the Northern Han Dynasty; The Northern Han lord in front of him was obviously inferior to Liu Chong, who wanted to find an opportunity to attack the Central Plains at any time.

Guo Shao also didn't say a word, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the jade seal back unceremoniously, looking back at the left and right angrily, and the monarchs and ministers in the palace were busy lowering their bodies.

At this moment, the resentment that had long accused the Guo family of the Great Zhou Dynasty of usurping the Liu family and thinking that they did not share the hatred of the sky was "resolved" at once.

Guo Shao turned around and left the main hall with little interest and walked out. He stepped back on the steps, turned his head to look at Wang Pu and Zuo You, and said in a deep voice: "Find a cup of poisonous wine and send it to Liu Jun, save some trouble." ”

Wang Pu didn't say anything, but he didn't object either.

Zuo You clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if you arrange this matter, you will declare that the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty died of a violent illness." ”

Guo Shao nodded, twisted his upper body, looked up at the main hall of the Northern Han Kingdom again, turned around and walked down.

If he did not convict the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty and let him die with dignity, Guo Shao felt that there was nothing wrong with it. What kind of hatred is that the Liu family killed Guo Wei's whole family, and the Guo family took the Liu family's country, Guo Shao didn't even feel it at all, it was none of his business...... However, in Guo Shao's heart, the culprit of this war is the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, although Guo Shao is unwilling to convict him, but so many people have died, it is really difficult to accept not to kill him; Moreover, the Northern Han Kingdom was forcibly destroyed by war, and the Great Zhou had the unconditional right to execute its country, and it was understandable to kill its lord.

In the world of the jungle, those who fail die, and that's it.

Other military orders, Guo Shao doesn't want to bother himself, the former battalion military government is mainly composed of civilian officials in the Privy Council, and there are complete sets of civilian organizations, and they will give advice on how to deal with the aftermath, how to reward and punish, and how to reassure the people as appropriate.

"Where is Yang Ye?" Guo Shao only asked one sentence at this time.
