Chapter 782: The Wind Rises in the North

More than 100,000 people of the Dangxiang Khitan coalition army were defeated by the 40,000 battles of the Xu Dynasty and were completely lost!

The news was quickly transmitted from Suizhou, because there were too many people who cared, and this kind of news was transmitted through a fast horse traveling hundreds of miles a day, which was completely different from the general information diffusion.

The northwest was shaken, and the whole north was affected.

The Tibetan tribes in Hexi and south were very uneasy, and they soon sent people to Lingzhou to inquire about the attitude of the Daxu Imperial Court and whether they would continue the westward expedition...... Lingzhou has a post house, which was originally a place for trading in the mutual market, and now it is also a stronghold for convenient exchanges between things and things.

At this time, the Northern Expedition grassland has faint greenery from a distance, and spring has come. A fast horse wearing a felt hat galloped on the grassland, "da-da, da-da......" horses' hooves repeated the fast rhythm, the grassland stretched out, and the old city walls of Shangjing had appeared on the horizon.

Not long after, the messenger entered the palace of the Great Liao, and he held a wooden tube, knelt alone on the hall, and held it with both hands. An attendant approached and received the urgent report under the watchful eyes of the ministers on both sides of the column. There were people wearing fur warm hats, and there were also people wearing robes and hats, they were not Han Chinese, they were still Khitan officials, but many rituals had the shadow of Han officials.

The attendant opened the wooden tube, pulled out a roll of paper from it, and turned to look at the upper position, Ye Luxian nodded. The attendant scraped off the vermilion lacquer, unfolded the paper and handed it to Yeluxian.

After Ye Luxian saw it, he immediately handed it to Xiao Siwen, who was standing on the side, and said: "Yang Gon and Li Yiyin were defeated, more than 100,000 people were killed and wounded in the pursuit, and there were corpses within a hundred miles. ”

There was an uproar in the main hall!

Someone immediately scolded: "Yang Gon is a stupid pig!" "Last time, it wasn't a report, Xu Jun's elite was only forty or fifty thousand, and he wouldn't be like this even if he rode only 20,000 steps!" There is also a 100,000 army of the party ......""Yes, the envoys sent to Pingxia are not all returned, the party is quite powerful, and the infantry and cavalry are not inferior to the tribal army......"

At this moment, Xiao Siwen opened his mouth and said coldly: "Yang Gon is a general, if he can fight like this, you must be much better with the troops." Brother Yelu Xiu patted his chest before and said how powerful, what about Youzhou? ”

Yelu Xian, who was holding a heavy army, immediately echoed: "Xiao Gong is reasonable. ”

The ministers felt something, and the insult immediately became much quieter.

When Emperor Yeluxian spoke again, the ministers stopped speaking casually, and Yeluxian said: "Wait for Yang Gon to come back and ask him what is going on." ”

Ye Luxian asked again: "What is Blacksmith Guo going to do after he sits on the throne of the Central Plains?" Ben Khan heard that before the Battle of Pingxia, the Central Plains court colluded with Goryeo and wanted to take the land of the Bohai Sea in the northeast of me? ”

A nobleman bowed and said, "Blacksmith Guo is just bluffing?" ”

Not even his own tone.

Xiao Siwen said: "Blacksmith Guo is plotting to seize the throne of the Zhou Dynasty, it has only been a few years, how much territory has been occupied by force......"

The people in the main hall gradually felt great external pressure. Not only because of the news of the defeat in the Battle of Pingxia, but also many times on the battlefield not so long ago.

……

Along the Wuding River, Xu Jun successfully "took over" Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Youzhou and other cities, as well as various towns along the way. There was almost no resistance, and after Li Yiyin's defeat, the lands had no intention of resisting, and there were no more soldiers.

Lingzhou Jiedu made Zhe Delan lift the vigilance of the military and civilians in Quanzhou, and rushed to Xiazhou to meet the emperor, and he also wanted to ask the attitude of the imperial court, so that he could deal with it properly when facing the envoys of the northwest provinces.

Xiazhou, formerly known as the "Tongwan City", although very old, but the thick city walls of the earth still show the ambition of the rulers who occupy this place. The ancient city, the shadows of the undulating mountains on the horizon are faintly in sight, and the desolate grasslands in the north are endless, as if the unknown complex is the relatively sparsely populated northwest region.

Guo Shao's army did not rashly capture the palace of the slaughtering king, and the Chinese army camp was only set up in a yamen in Xiazhou.

When he was led to the humble lobby, he deeply felt the excitement of the generals of the forbidden army. The lobby is full of shouting and shouting for the northwest strategy! The first battle cut off three times the enemy army of their own, which made the generals a little uncontrollable blood fanaticism. In the words, I heard that the former camp military government had arrested the Tibetans and Uighurs, and many people shouted that they would take advantage of the victory to advance westward and kill all the way to the Western Regions!

The civil officials saluted him one after another, and their words were very polite. Most of the generals of the forbidden army were fine, only the big man Shi Yanchao looked at Zhe Deyan with a squinting gaze. Zhi Deyan didn't want to lose his momentum, and stood there with a serious face, standing there with a straight waist, not taking the initiative to greet him.

At this moment, hearing a metal grinding sound outside the door, the guards picked up the cherry gun together, and then saw Guo Shao, dressed in military uniform, walk in from outside the door.

The generals clasped their fists and saluted, and the civilian officials made a move. Guo Shao walked up to the public seat and sat down before saying, "Can you kill all the people in the northwest?" ”

The full hall of civil and military affairs was suddenly silent.

Even Fold De is secretly a spirit. I can't say what I feel specifically, but in my heart, I can't help but be in awe of the emperor, except because of the great military exploits and imperial power behind him, and he is quite imposing today. But perhaps that momentum was cultivated by him after his high position.

Guo Shao gave Zhi Deyan a very special feeling more than once, his anger was not like Shi Yanchao's, he spoke with a sense of thorn and violence, but he didn't speak loudly. But his articulate thinking is clear, he is straightforward, and his blazing eyes make people absolutely believe that he knows what he knows, and no one dares to mess around.

The emperor was tall and strong, with the body of a typical young martial artist, but his posture was very straight, and his head was never lowered. Standing posture, sitting posture, powerful and upright movements, so that you feel orderly, organized. On more than one occasion, he felt that the temperament of the emperor was different from that of all the people of the world.

You don't need to be angry to get people to obey, and he has always been curious...... Maybe it's the uprightness revealed in gestures, words and deeds? There is a certain reason, even the martial artists will not respect the flies and dogs, and the obscene things. But it's not exactly that kind of righteousness.

Moreover, Guo Shao's actions are "benevolent", the kind of benevolence in his bones, benevolence to the people, and he will also talk about brotherhood and grievances towards his generals.

This is not weakness, but human affection, reliability, safety and trust. No one wants to be loyal to someone who is completely cold-blooded, because no matter how good you are to him, he may take revenge, so what's the point?

Guo Shao's actions are not acting, and every little detail has a clear psychology of grievances. Including the fact that someone whispered in private about his marrying his brother and sister-in-law, Zhe Deyan knew some inside information, and his views on this matter were different. He can do this to a woman, let alone a brother who has died.

Zhe Deyan was full of anticipation and wanted to see the emperor's attitude towards the northwest after the great victory.
