Chapter 292: The Imperial Expedition
Blood stained the Gaoliang River, such a scene once happened, but it was the Song army that failed, Zhao Er's first Northern Expedition, was defeated by the Liao army in the Gaoliang River, his ass was hit by an arrow, and he could only escape back to the capital in a donkey cart, 100,000 elite Song troops, almost lost.
That's called a desolate and desolate, how miserable it is!
Coincidentally, the battle of the Sorghum River was commanded by Yelu Huge, and he became famous in the battle and was made a king.
And this time, Yelu Hugo also participated in the war, but he was unlucky, the person who was hit by the arrow on the ass became him, and the one who made great achievements became Yang Ye...... It's different, it's different!
Ye Hua was finally in the mood to write a long letter of good news and send it to the rear, making everyone happy. Although he has not really taken Youzhou yet, the dominance on the battlefield has fallen into the hands of Da Zhou!
"Good news, good news!"
"The champion Hou broke the Khitan, and the emperor of the Liao Dynasty fled in embarrassment!"
"The sorghum river is blood-red, and the Great Zhou army is as powerful as a god!"
……
The knight ran wildly, with a red flag on his back, shouting at the top of his voice every time he passed through a village. All the people who heard the wind came out of their homes, and everyone could not hide their joy.
Won, really won!
The first to hear were the people who had just been given land.
More than anyone else, they hope that Da Zhou can win.
The big guy has been looking forward to it, and it's finally here!
How many people cried with joy, ran to burn incense and kowtow, thank God for blessing, God bless the court!
When the old farmer heard the news, his shriveled and shrunken face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he bared his yellow teeth and smiled, looking down at the ground beneath his feet.
"It's mine, it's really mine!"
The old man jumped up, picked up two wooden barrels from his house, and went straight to the river pond to dig up the silt and fertilize the fields, and he wanted to pour all his blood and sweat into this land that belonged to him!
The young lieutenant was running around, and he found things easier than ever.
The remnants of those gentry and wealthy families no longer dare to jump out and cause chaos, although they are still unwilling, but they can only obediently hand over the land and property.
The long-term and short-term workers who worked for the landlords, and the Yuding Nursing Home, all got the land. Those tenants also changed from renting land to owning land.
In the past, some tenants were still worried, for fear of revenge, but after hearing that Da Zhou had won, they no longer had any worries, on the contrary, they were grateful to Dade.
The entire south of Youzhou is undergoing earth-shaking changes. The old forces collapsed and the authority of the Great Zhou was completely established.
100,000 people from all over the country joined the ranks of carrying grain and baggage, and took the initiative to build roads, bridges, and warehouses for the Great Zhou...... With the support of the people, Ye Hua's soldiers and horses quickly regained their combat effectiveness.
Yanyun is like this, and the situation in Hebei is even more lively.
Every time the Khitan goes south, the people of Hebei are the worst!
Finally raise your eyebrows and breathe a sigh of relief!
Let's fight, beat all the Khitans away, and you can live a stable life!
The people brought out the lions and dragons that were only used during the New Year, and expressed the joy in their hearts, they really celebrated the New Year!
Chai Rong, the king of Jin, sat in Yingzhou and dominated the overall situation of the Northern Expedition.
When he heard the news of the victory, Chai Rong, who had always been calm and composed, ran into the yard barefoot, running around like a madman, shouting long live in his mouth, without any image at all.
The mansion of Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, is even more lively.
Fu San lit the fireworks, and Xiao Nizi's heart was like fireworks in the sky, melting into tens of millions, and the weather was thousands!
"If you win, you know you're going to win!"
Fu San smiled happily, she patted her little chest, and said mysteriously to her father: "Do you know why you can win?" It's all because of me, I embroidered a battle flag for Ye Hua, it's a panda's! Can you still win? ”
Xiao Nizi is serious, as if the panda has mysterious powers.
Fu Yanqing grabbed his beard, sighed and nodded, "Ye Hua, this kid is soaring, and his future is limitless!" From then on, no one in the younger generation was his opponent. ”
"Not necessarily!" Fu San crossed his waist and said unconvinced: "No matter how powerful he is, what can he do?" It's not for me to make money yet! Dad, I'm about to double my bonds! ”
Fu Yanqing's old face instantly froze and doubled, how much is that? My daughter, you are the goddess of wealth! In the future, if anyone marries you, he will make a lot of money!
Fu Yanqing swore in her heart that she couldn't marry her daughter off easily, she must be carefully selected, find a young talent who is both civil and military, and has a reliable character, there are not many people in the world who can be worthy of her daughter!
"Good news, good news!"
The news is still being transmitted, everywhere it goes, it brings joy to people, and on the fourth day, it finally reaches the capital!
When the knight finished shouting the good news, his eyes were dark, and he fell directly from his horse, he was so tired that the soldiers defending the city hurriedly picked him up. took out the bamboo tube in his arms, which had a vermilion mark on it, which was sent by Hebei, and there was a shortcut!
The city gate officials smiled!
"Win! It must be Hou Ye who won! ”
"Quick, send it to Your Majesty!"
The city gate official ran away, where did a small official like him have the opportunity to see the emperor, but the victory ahead was extraordinary. This guy is also bold enough, and he actually advocated without authorization, and ran to beat the drum.
Now it's okay, not only Guo Wei knows, but even the civil and military forces in Beijing rushed over in a panic, no one knows what happened, and some people are still wondering, is it the Khitan killing?
When everyone went up to the Golden Temple, the city gate official was brought up.
"The minister greets His Majesty, and the minister congratulates His Majesty!"
"What's the joy of?" Guo Wei's tone was dull.
The city gate official raised his head and met Guo Wei's gaze, trembling with excitement...... Usually you can't look at the emperor casually on the Golden Palace, only when you catch up with the happy event, can you look directly at the Son of Heaven, which is called welcoming joy! Not only is it not guilty, but it is also meritorious!
"Your Majesty is overjoyed, there is good news from Hebei, most of it is the champion Hou Dasheng!"
"Oh!"
Guo Wei stood up excitedly, and without the need for eunuchs, he walked down the Danqi quickly, grabbed the bamboo tube containing the good news in his hand, looked at the vermilion mark on it, Guo Wei was sure again and again, and then took a deep breath, unscrewed it hard, and took out the good news!
"Champion Hou, the envoy of the Xiong'an Army, the deployment of the Northern Expedition, and the minister Ye Hua played: relying on the Son of Heaven Hongfu, the people support it, and the soldiers use their lives...... Our soldiers in Gaoliang Henan, defeated the Khitan army of 60,000, killed 28,000 people, captured 30,000 horses, and captured the Khitan emperor's chariot, flag, seal, armor, swords, etc., which have been sealed and can be sent to the capital and presented to Your Majesty......"
Seeing this, Guo Wei shook his fist hard.
"Good, good fight!"
As soon as he turned around, he rushed to the ministers and said: "The champion Hou defeated 60,000 Khitan soldiers with 35,000 people, killed the Khitan emperor and fled in embarrassment, and almost lost his life, which is really good!" With this victory, Yan Yun has already recovered half of it! ”
Hearing this, all the important ministers present breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the effort was not in vain, and the battle was finally won! Ye Hua's kid really didn't blow it out, he was really good at fighting! Your kid won, and our coffins have been saved.
I don't know how many courtiers who were forced to buy bonds, rejoicing, not only did not lose money, but also made a fortune! Hou Ye still has the ability!
They talk to each other, and even laugh loudly, without any scruples.
Guo Wei will not blame, he continued to look down, and gradually his expression became solemn, victory did not come casually...... When he saw the people rushing to deliver supplies and support the war, Guo Wei was amazed.
When he saw Yang Ye charging at 10,000 Khitan soldiers with 600 cavalry, he gave a thumbs up.
Seeing Wang Jing in his old age, he personally commanded the iron cavalry, fought the Khitan heavy cavalry, and unfortunately died in the country, Guo Wei's eyes turned red.
After pondering for a long time, Guo Wei said slowly: "Posthumously present Wang Jing Taishi Taifu, add the title of King Qi, and Yin Yizi is the commander of the capital, and he deserves to enjoy the Taimiao!" "Guo Wei gave all the grief and glory that could be given to Wang Jing!
Ye Hua mentioned that the old general hoped to be buried in Youzhou and protect the territory forever, and Guo Wei immediately agreed.
"After the recovery of Youzhou, build a temple for King Qi to worship!"
The ministers were all convinced.
The privy envoy Gao Xing Zhou Lao burst into tears: "Brother Wang, you are more than ten years older than me, but you can still fight on the battlefield, horse leather shroud, you are blessed, unlike me, you can only be old and sick...... I'm not as good as you! ”
Gao Xingzhou was excited, and there was another cough, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
The big guy's heart is pinched, Wang Jingzhan is dead, it seems that Gao Xingzhou won't last long, and the veteran will wither after all! Who is the hope for the future of Da Zhou?
Is it Yang Ye? Gao Huaide? Or Zhao Kuangyin? Hantong?
I believe that in most people's hearts, the word "Ye Hua" comes out!
Gao Xingzhou barely stabilized his emotions, and he suggested: "Your Majesty, you should strike while the iron is hot, and immediately issue an order to the champion Hou to capture Youzhou, and it is urgent to do so!" ”
The rest of the ministers also stood up, "What the Prime Minister said is extremely true, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again!" ”
Guo Wei smiled, "Qing and the others are reasonable, but although the Khitan is newly defeated, in Youzhou City, there are still 30,000 horses, Xiao Siwen's 50,000 soldiers, and Yelu Jing still has tens of thousands of remnants of defeated generals, adding up to more than 100,000 people, how can he take the strong city with the champion Hou alone?" ”
Wei Renpu knew Guo Wei's mind best, and he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, but you want to conquer Yanyun in person?" ”
Guo Wei smiled, "That's right, the army of 100,000 has been trained and matured, although I am not young, but I am not as young as King Qi!" He can still charge into battle and kill the enemy! In my life, how can I fall behind young people! ”
Guo Wei said sharply: "Order troops immediately and set off today!" ”
When the holy decree was issued, the earth shook, and the recruits who were holding their breath were looking forward to making meritorious contributions in front of the battle, and the people sent off the soldiers to the battle, wishing them victory.
And almost at the same time, Yelu Jing also issued a will, he mobilized the elite of the six Khitan courts, including the young and strong of various tribes, a total of 150,000 people, to fight the Great Zhou in a decisive battle under Youzhou City!
Obviously, the Khitans are playing with their lives!
