Bata said: "Thank you for the appreciation of the saint, in fact, the last general has long wanted to attack Pingliangzhou, but the seniority of the last general is not as high as that of the other four generals. I don't dare to be this budding bird. It wasn't until the saint asked that the last general volunteered. ”

He smiled and said, "Haha, that's very good." Okay, I will promote you to the general of Zhaoyuan, and I am giving you 100,000 horses, plus the 180,000 horses left in Anzhou, which adds up to nearly 300,000 men and horses. You must take back Pingliang Prefecture for me. As long as Pingliang Prefecture is recaptured, even if Gyeongju is temporarily left to the Han army, it will not hurt. Because as long as the Han army can't enter Pingliangzhou, it means that they can't enter our vast Jiangbei land. Gyeongju is just a dead spot. There are high mountains on both sides, the Tianjiang River on the south, and the exit on the north is Pingliangzhou. Even if the Han army occupies it, it will not be able to march into our interior. ”

Bata nodded and said, "The last general has also studied the maps of Pyongyangju and Gyeongju. As the saint said, the loss of Gyeongju is not something to fear. As long as Pingliang Prefecture is in our hands, it will be safe. ”

"So, you have to take this Pingliang Prefecture back to me. I promise, as long as you can give me this Pingliang Prefecture back. Then the post of the protector general is yours Bata's. The stunned and arrogant said that he had not yet set out on the expedition, and had already said the reward of victory. It's also just to motivate Bata.

This is, of course, a great temptation. Doing this position of the protector of the country is equivalent to mastering the army of the entire Dayang Dynasty, and the status and prime minister are on an equal footing. is even half a position higher than the position of prime minister.

"The last general will not disappoint Your Majesty." Bata said with a bow.

"Well, I'll trust you. You start in the afternoon, and the army moves on the road. At noon, I will give you a drink of Zhuangxing wine. He said with a stunned smile. At this time, another great general was elected, and he was very happy.

And only Bata knew how important the task of attacking Pingliang Prefecture was, and it could be said that it was a matter of life and death. But he couldn't help it. Although he was not very reluctant, he could only bite the bullet.

"Thank you, Holy Lord." Bata thanked him.

……

Although there was no hostility in the past half a month, Gao Tang and Chen Cheng still didn't dare to be careless. The two of them inspected the defense deployment every day, and they had to personally watch the drills every day. Now the people of Pingliangzhou are already south of the Tianjiang River, let them take refuge for a while, wait for Pingliangzhou to be peaceful, and they will come back after they have a governor. After all, there is still their industry here.

When it comes to going to the south bank of the Yangtze River, I have to talk about the three Li brothers.

Since the eldest Li Hai and the third Li He and the large army came to Pingliang Prefecture and conquered Pingliang Prefecture and Gyeongju, the two brothers returned to the newly recognized Li Laohan. As soon as the three brothers discussed, they would take the second elder to the south of the Tianjiang River. After settling down the second elder, he returned to the court to resume his life.

The three brothers, plus two old men, made a total of five people, and they were the first Han people to cross the river from Gyeongju to the south bank of the Tianjiang River. As soon as they crossed the Tianjiang River, the two old men hugged their heads and cried.

Although their hometown is north of the Tianjiang River, since the Tatar slaves occupied the land north of the river, it is the dream of the two old men to escape to the south bank of the river. For this he also died one of his sons. He was killed while he was smuggling. The other two were both captured and strong. Died on the battlefield.

At this moment, crossing the Tianjiang River is the fulfillment of their old couple's dream. It's not surprising to hug your head and cry.

In fact, the old couple was reluctant to cross the river. They can move back to Lijiazhuang, where there are also blind dates. However, the three Li brothers were not at ease considering that this Li Jiazhuang would definitely become a battlefield in the future. In fact, Lijiazhuang was already controlled by the Han army.

In this case, as long as the Han army is undefeated. There is no problem with the safety of Lijia Village. The villagers of Lijiazhuang are now overjoyed. The Tatars of the village were killed by them. And they can go into town. In the past, access to the city was restricted.

The Li brothers took Li Lao and Han to cross the Tianjiang River, and went all the way south to Meizhou City, where they bought a house and settled down. found two mothers-in-law to serve the two old men. Since then, the two old men have lived a happy life for 10,000 years.

The three Li brothers returned to the imperial court and got some positions, two of them in Meizhou City. One became a governor, so he was naturally the boss. One is the county magistrate of Qingshen County, and that is naturally the second Li Hai. And the third Li He stayed in Tian'an Mansion as an official. Every year for the Chinese New Year, he goes home to reunite with his brother and parents. This family of five is happy.

Later, they all became relatives and had their own offspring. Among the three brothers, only the third Li Heguan is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, he sat down as a minister.

Of course, that's all decades away. What was the Han Dynasty like at that time? What is Liu Yong like? What is the whole world like? It is not yet known.

What can be known now is that the Hua Han Dynasty was developing in the direction of a great empire.

Besides, Gao Tang and Chen Cheng are not afraid to underestimate the enemy at all. The spies they sent out came back every day to report information about the Tatars.

This time, after suffering the loss of an ambush in the northern mountains, Gao Tang suddenly Chen Cheng didn't dare to be careless, and the spies who scattered naturally also went to the mountains to investigate. Check back every day to report on the situation.

The two of them still liked to sit and drink and talk about the next move of the Tarslavs.

Gao Tang said: "I guess in another twenty days, the Tatar army will make a comeback." ”

Chen Cheng said: "I guess, it won't take twenty days, as long as ten days, the Tatar army will have movement." ”

Listening to Chen Cheng's words, Gao Tang laughed. I only heard him say, "Then why don't we plug it?" ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "That's good? General Gao said that he would bet on something! ”

Gao Tang said: "Just bet on a pot of wine." ”

"Bet on a jug of wine?" Chen Cheng asked with a frown.

"Yes, you and I are both good drinkers. If anyone loses, they will be responsible for getting a bottle of good daughter red for the other party, how about it? Gao Tang said with a smile.

Chen Cheng thought about it with a smile, then nodded and said, "Okay, a word is a deal." ”

Hearing that Chen Cheng agreed, Gao Tang burst out laughing.

However, Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, if it is twelve days, or fifteen days, then who wins and who loses?" ”

"Well, that's a critical question. In this way, within thirteen days, you will be counted as Brother Chen, and if it is more than thirteen days, I will win. How is it? Gao Tang gave a solution.
