Chapter Ninety-Two: The Horizontal Sword (I)

On the first day of the seventh month, Emperor Liu Hong finally announced an edict at the court meeting: Huang Wan, the assassin of Qingzhou, returned to the court to take charge of the Shaofu on the same day, Liu Cun, the Taishou of Chengyang, took over as the assassin of Qingzhou, and Langya ordered Liu Ye to be promoted to the Taishou of Chengyang!

As soon as the oracle came out, the Manchu Dynasty praised it, and the major events that had been discussed repeatedly for a month finally had a result, and those who did not know the inside must have felt that this was a good result that the monarch and the ministers unanimously expected, and few people knew how many deceit and ups and downs had been experienced before this result came out, and few people saw the countless secret gatherings of the great lords of the important ministers in the court during this period, as well as the huge sums of money and rare treasures sent by the world's wealthy Mi family again and again.

The cheers fell, and the servant Yang Biao came out of the class to praise Emperor Liu Hong's wise decision, and then suggested to Emperor Liu Hong very decently:

"At this moment, Lord Liu Cun personally led 5,000 Langya cavalry and 30,000 hastily recruited Qilu soldiers, and was fighting with the rebel Zhang Ju's 100,000 army in the north of the river.

"The ministers watched the report of Lord Huang Wan, as well as the battle reports sent back by Hongling's urgent envoys recently, and learned that the offensive and defensive deployment of the entire Qingzhou North and South War was all from the hands of Lord Liu Cun, therefore, the minister dared to implore the Holy Lord, so that Liu Cun would suspend his entry into the court to thank him, stick to Qingzhou to control the overall war, and send angels to convey the holy oracle to boost the morale of the three armies, and wait for the rebels to calm down, and then summon them to the court to thank God and listen to the teachings of the Holy Lord!"

At this time, everyone understood that the Qingzhou war situation, in which more than 300,000 people were invested in the fierce battle between the enemy and us, has become the key to determining the safety of the Han Dynasty, and once Qingzhou falls, the war will spread rapidly, not only the Qingzhou, Hebei, Yan, Xu, and Henan are all over the world, but the entire Han world will never be at peace.

The gray-faced and godless emperor Liu Hong was as good as a stream, and immediately assigned the Huangmen Lingcheng Zhang Dun, who was a favorite minister around him and familiar with Liu Cun, to rush to Qingzhou to announce the decree, and promised in court: As long as Liu Cun repels the rebels and keeps Qingzhou, he will entitle Liu Cun as the Marquis of Jieting.

The Chinese martial arts officials of the palace are quite unexpected, this is directly over the title of the Marquis of Guannei, although the current title is not as good as before, the Marquis of Ting is just a marquis without a fief and no food, and there are more beautiful township marquis and county marquis above, but this title is for Liu Cun, since then he has stepped into the upper echelons of the Han officialdom, which is enough to show the importance and expectations of Emperor Liu Hong for him.

Emperor Liu Hong made a promise, feeling a little comforted in his heart, and his whole body strength seemed to have disappeared.

Hundreds of civil and military officials came out one after another, chanting in unison Your Majesty's Shengming! At this moment, Junchen had the same feeling in his heart: "Compared with the safety of the Han Dynasty, what is a mere pavilion marquis?" ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers who were familiar with Jieting thought about it, and they couldn't help but whisper to ask their colleagues around them, only to learn that Jieting is located in the eastern suburbs of Qianqian New Town, Chengyang County, which was built when the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty Yingzheng went to Langya to watch the sea, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also went to Langyatai three times to watch the sea and bathe in the rising sun, and two of them rested in the Jieting.

######

On July 25, the fifth year of Zhongping, Qingzhou Pingyuan County, Pingyuan County.

More than 8,000 soldiers who had survived the hard battle for more than a month all stood up and cheered and shouted at the fiery red banner in front of the more than 100 cavalry who rushed into the city, expressing their full respect to their heroic lord Liu Cun with the most bold and sincere voice.

Under the banner, Liu Cun, who was stained red with blood, raised his proud head, didn't care to wipe away the blood and sweat on his face, raised his arms and raised the spear in his hand, and responded to the thunderous soldiers on the city, causing even more crazy roars.

Xu Sheng, the defender of the Plains City, had already rushed down the city, followed by two deputy generals who were also mottled with armor and stains on their faces, and the three of them quickly ran to Liu Cun who turned over and dismounted, looking at Liu Cun, who was covered with blood but still showing a bright smile, and knelt down on one leg in excitement.

Xu Sheng, whose eyes were red and his face was peeling, complained in a low voice: "The lord is responsible for the overall situation, so he shouldn't have taken the risk to come!" ”

Liu Cun strode forward and cordially helped his beloved general: "Since I promised the brothers to come to visit you today, I must keep my word and never regret it!" Besides, Zhang Chun's mere 800 rangers are not in my eyes, and I and the 120 brothers of the guard battalion just hedged against him head-on, broke through their triple block, and then slaughtered more than 100 of his men. ”

All the soldiers applauded again, and their eager eyes were full of excitement and reverence.

Liu Cun walked to Xu Sheng's side, pulled the two young generals one by one, and smiled at the two fierce generals who had been killed from pawns to the position of deputy generals in dozens of days:

"Han Tan and Li Zheng, your two great names have spread all over Qingzhou and Langya, and millions of my fathers and fellow villagers in Qingzhou know your prestige! Mr. Gongsun wrote to me that when he went to inspect several textile workshops under his rule, many beautiful girls asked him: Do the three generals, Xu Sheng, Han Tan, and Li Zheng, have mothers-in-law? Mr. Gongsun told the girls very seriously: I haven't heard of it yet, you have to start quickly if you want to, otherwise the girls in Plains City will come to their senses, and the soup will not be your turn to drink! ”

Hundreds of soldiers around laughed, Han Tan, who was tall and honest like an iron tower, couldn't stop laughing, but Li Zai and Xu Sheng were a little embarrassed.

Liu Cun laughed, climbed the north gate tower full of various arrows with Xu Sheng, waved his hand to the cheering soldiers, came to the edge of the city wall and stopped, looking at the collapsed moat under the city and the rebel camp in the distance, laughing proudly:

"Wenxiang, the fierce offensive and defensive battle on the north bank of the Yellow River, which stretches for 250 miles, has been going on for 37 days as of yesterday, Zhang Ju's 80,000 troops have paid the price of more than 40,000 dead and wounded under the city of Yanci, West Pingchang and this plain, the three cities in the hands of our army are still standing, and 80,000 thieves were blocked by our 40,000 soldiers in the north of the 250-mile defense line, losing troops and losing their generals, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

Xu Sheng nodded heavily, he clearly saw the decline of the rebels, in the past 37 days, he led most of the peasants composed of a group of soldiers, to block the 40,000 troops led by Zhang Chunqin before and after 12 fierce attacks, Xu Sheng paid the cost of losing three camps outside the city, sacrificing more than 6,300 soldiers, and wounding tens of thousands of people, and achieved the outstanding record of destroying and wounding more than 28,000 enemies, and firmly held the strategic Pingyuan County.
