Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who led the horse and the corpse into the city, even the officers and soldiers who stood on the imperial city could feel the sad but excited mood. An ordinary soldier can enjoy such treatment after dying in battle, how many people have come and gone in ancient and modern times?

Compared with the officers and soldiers defending the imperial city, they feel that they can enjoy this kind of treatment after death, and they really die without regrets. As the leading general, Heran Lian finally understood why these elite cavalry would be so fanatically supportive of Zhao Xiaoxi.

Even if he thinks that Zhao Xiaoxi's move is more to buy people's hearts. But ask yourself, if in the future he leads the soldiers to the battlefield. With such casualties, could he do such a thing?

For these generals of the army, they can reach today's level. Who didn't step on the bones of his soldiers and piles of military exploits were lifted. But Heran Lian never thought of giving the greatest respect to the fallen soldiers in this way.

When this team of blood-stained cavalry entered the city, many Western Xia officers and soldiers at the gate of the city straightened their waists to express their respect for the dead. In any case, they are also warriors, and they can also feel the sadness of this parting from life and death.

Watching these silent but orderly cavalry enter the city, Tuoba Yu really felt that an invisible aura overwhelmed him. As a military general who has led the troops, Tuoba Yu can feel the heat in the hearts of these cavalrymen.

He dared to say that if someone dared to provoke them at this moment. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers, even if it is a 10,000-strong horseman, will be terrifying in front of them. This kind of brave momentum really made him feel the strength of the pro-guards.

Some of the people of the Western Xia Imperial City, who were still wandering on the streets, watched this pro-guard team with the Great Song Dragon Banner enter the city. also spontaneously dodged to the side, no one dared to collide and block, and even when he hid to the side, he was silent.

On the streets of the entire imperial city, it seems to follow Zhao Xiaoxi and his party into the city. Fell into a state of silence. Seeing this scene, Heran couldn't help but sigh: "Da Song has this son, it's really lucky!" ”

It's just that there is one sentence he didn't say, that is, the Great Song Dynasty has a commander like Zhao Xiaoxi. For them, the subjects of the kingdom of the kingdom, it may not be lucky. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a disaster.

Wait until Cho Hyo-seok leads the pro-guards. Stay in a makeshift barracks that have been prepared. Speculation about his personal guard team has also become a topic of discussion among the people of the Imperial City. Many people in the imperial city feel that the Great Song Dynasty is really not easy to mess with!

If the defeat in the Lanzhou Battle last year made many people and even monarchs and ministers feel that it was just Helian Tieshu, who commanded the battle, was eager for revenge and fell into the ambush of the Song army. In fact, the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty was far from being able to defeat the iron cavalry of Western Xia.

But seeing Zhao Xiaoxi's pro-guard team today, no one will ever have the illusion of underestimating the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty. With such a strong team of guards cavalry, who dares to guarantee Zhao Xiaoxi's subordinates. What about other stronger cavalry?

Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxi's personal guards had entered the city, Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing and others, and even Li Qinglu rushed over. Seeing the dozens of cavalrymen in the barracks, everyone could feel the sadness in Zhao Xiaoxi's heart.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi's subordinates for the first time, Li Qinglu looked at the eyes of these soldiers. can feel their support for Zhao Xiaoxi, which is sincere support from the heart, not Zhao Xiaoxi's status as the prince of the county.

In her opinion. The Iron Harriers were perhaps the toughest cavalry she'd ever seen. Bloodstained cavalry can be seen in these armors. Li Qinglu suddenly felt that the combat effectiveness of this cavalry was only afraid that it would not lose to the Iron Harrier at all.

Just as she arrived, she was paying attention to the cremation ceremony that was about to take place in the barracks. She soon saw Tuoba Yu, who looked a little sad in the middle of the line. If it weren't for the closeness, she wouldn't have recognized this person as her cousin.

Look into the eyes of others. All eyes were on those corpses, and Li Qinglu walked to Tuoba Yu's side very carefully. He shouted softly, "Cousin Tuoba, did something happen on the road?" ”

Hearing someone shouting to himself, it seems that he has received a spiritual baptism of Tuobayu. When I turned around, I saw Li Qinglu standing behind me watching. There was also a young girl he hadn't seen before.

Knowing that he could return to Xixia this time, this cousin, who was about to marry a wife, also made a lot of efforts. Tuoba Yu quickly bent down and said, "Tuoba Yu, I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Thank you to the princess for her kind words and giving Jade a chance to return to her homeland. ”

Although once upon a time, Tuoba Yu also thought about marrying this talented and beautiful cousin princess. But there have been failures of other tribesmen, and Tuoba Yu gradually dispelled this idea.

This time, I already knew that since Li Qinglu was close to the Great Song Dynasty, she had become the Tuoba Jade of the young princess of the county. Or abide by the courtesy of a courtier, and talk to this cousin with the honorific title of a princess, so as not to be unpleasant or misunderstood.

seems to understand Tuoba Yu's intentional estrangement, and Li Qinglu also knows that her current identity really can't be the same as before. Get close to this kind of relative, or a man of the same age, so as not to attract the displeasure of Cho Hyo-seok.

It's just that she is very curious, with the customs clearance defense issued by the royal family, how can Zhao Xiaoxi's personal guard still have such a large casualty? Moreover, looking at the strength of these cavalry, it is not bad, so who are the people who attack them?

Mentioning this matter, Tuoba Yu looked very helpless and said in frustration: "Princess Hui, the personal guard of the county king, was ambushed by three thousand cavalry on the way to escort Yu back to the imperial city. Those cavalrymen were sent by my eldest brother! ”

Upon hearing this, Li Qinglu looked surprised and said, "How can this be? General Tuobaya, didn't you tell me that the Tuoba tribe is not allowed to send troops to rescue you. When you enter the imperial city, are you begging the king of the county to let you return to the tribe? Don't? ”

As if guessing a possibility, Li Qinglu was a little incredulous and didn't say the rest of the words. This kind of fratricidal thing is not comfortable when it is spread on anyone.

Seeing Li Qinglu realize that those people were not here to save him, but to kill him. Tuoba Yu also said sadly: "If they have the ability and can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the tribe, even if I never come back, then what does it matter?"

But the temperament of the eldest brother and the second brother, I believe Her Royal Highness the princess also knows it. They don't know how to deal with tribal affairs except for seizing power. I know that the tribe is in danger at the moment, but I can't let go of the greed in my heart! ”

This is a simple statement, but it can be faced with the life and death of a large tribe of people. This is not the supreme power of a king, but a king. Can anyone with ambition remain indifferent? Even if Tuoba Jade is not willing to be ordinary.

With such a background, in many cases, even if you don't fight, it is difficult to escape the suspicion of others. Unless they are willing to find another way out and draw a line with the tribe. Otherwise, it is to cling to a strong heir brother in order to seek refuge and avoid suspicion.

The steppe tribes who pay attention to the law of the jungle, who would be willing to be a weakling?

Understand that this is a kind of bloody elimination that must be experienced, and it is also a pain that must be experienced by the replacement of the old and the new tribe. Tuoba Yu also gradually suppressed the good feelings of those hands and feet in his heart, so that he could adapt to the process of sharpening his mind to become a person in power.

Li Qinglu, who didn't know how to comfort Tuoba Yu, could only hold a long sigh. As a royal princess, Li Qinglu is not the first time she has seen this kind of fratricidal thing when seizing power.

As she sometimes says, if she could, she would rather be an ordinary herdsman's girl. Then she may not be able to bear too many burdens that she should not bear. It's a pity that it's just a fantasy and a luxury!

With their chat, under the construction of those personal guard cavalry, the bodies of those dead soldiers were placed on the cremation table one after another. With Zhao Hyo-seok's voice of 'brothers, let's go', the dry firewood pile also turned into a raging fire.

Looking at the armor and swords and arrows that had been taken off and placed neatly, each of the guards cavalry who participated in the send-off. They all feel an atmosphere of repose for the deceased. With this county king personally seeing them off, what are they not satisfied with?

As Zhao Xiaoxi's subordinates, even if they still have family members. The pension paid to their families is enough for their families to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives. This is also something that Cho Hyo-seok has always insisted on doing!

It is this kind of guarantee that you can enjoy the honor of personal protection before you are alive and don't have to worry about what happens after you die. Let these guards and cavalry who have joined the pro-guard team be truly fearless in life and death. Today they see off their comrades-in-arms, and they will also see them off tomorrow.

When the cremation ceremony was held in the barracks, Li Qianshun, who had received a report from Heranlian, also felt the same. This time, fortunately, he didn't choose one of the two Great Liao princes, otherwise Western Xia would be really dangerous.

It's just that he always has a knot in his heart, and he has never solved it, looking at the military department Shangshu who has been summoned. Li Qianshun said with a little meaning: "Do you think this pro-guard team will be the ghost cavalry army that destroyed the Iron Harrier?" ”

For Li Qianshun, the loss of the Iron Harrier by the Yellow River has always haunted him. You must know that the Iron Harrier Army represents the royal family and represents the embodiment of the strongest military power of Western Xia, and the defeat really made him lose face.

The secretary of the military department, who understood Li Qianshun's knot, quickly said: "Lord, as far as the minister knows, the ghost cavalry army under the king of Zhao Jun seems to have appeared on the Song-Liao border. And this pro-guard team came all the way from Chengdu Road. ”

After Li Qiushui's reminder, Li Qianshun had already learned that tens of thousands of elite cavalry trained by the Great Song Dynasty. It has already gone to the Song-Liao border, which makes the Liao direction also nervous, and began to send additional troops to the border.

Although Li Qianshun knew that this was the intention of the Great Song Dynasty to deter the Great Liao and prepare for the upcoming peace between the two countries. Warn the Daliao side not to act rashly. Otherwise, the army of the Great Song Dynasty is very likely to enter Liao.

At present, the Great Liao side is also responding urgently, whether this Three Kingdoms War can be fought. I'm afraid that I will have to wait until the two Da Liao princes return to Da Liao. In fact, not only the troops of the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty were mobilizing, but also the troops of Western Xia.

Especially in the places bordering the Liao State, Li Qianshun gathered heavy troops for defense. For him, being able to dispel the idea of invading Western Xia was the situation he most wanted to see. In this big war, it is undoubtedly the most advantageous for Western Xia to be a bystander!
