The Northern Expeditionary Army, defeated!

Bai Qing put down the information in his hand, with a somewhat solemn look on his face, and there was uncontrollable sorrow between his eyebrows.

"Official, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Bai Qing's face was a little ugly, Fang Jinzhi, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but ask Bai Qing.

"The Northern Expedition is defeated!"

Bai Qing said to Fang Jinzhi lightly, but his appearance made Fang Jinzhi feel distressed.

Even though Bai Qing had no hope for this Northern Expedition in his heart, when his premonition was really confirmed, he was still sad for a while.

Anyway, it's all the sons of the Han family.

The army of 100,000 people, those who returned to Beijing in a hurry, but three or five thousand, can be called an incomparably gorgeous defeat.

Commander Liu Qi was killed in battle, deputy marshal Han Shizhong was seriously injured, and the surviving cavalry were basically injured.

As soon as the news came out, the imperial court was shaken, and almost the entire Great Qi was in an uproar.

Those literati groups who constantly advocated the Northern Expedition first became dumb, but then they fought more fiercely, but the spearhead they bit had been directed towards Han Shizhong and Liu Qi, who had died in battle.

However, the generals who desperately opposed the Northern Expedition before, seeing Han Shizhong, who came back desperately, was almost criticized by those literati as incomplete, and together with Liu Qi, they became "traitors who misled the country", and they came out to protect him, and they confronted those literati again.

Every time you slaughter dogs, most of them are readers, and they have been like this since ancient times.

However, Gao Quanye remained silent about this quarrel, and it seemed that he was struggling incomparably in his heart. just put Han Shizhong in prison, but he didn't embarrass him. As a result of his injuries, he was properly treated by a medical officer.

Shangzhu Guo Liu Zhongwu. Originally heard the news of the death of his son, he fainted in front of him, this old general who had been on the border all his life, but when he was old, he experienced the blow of the white-haired man to the black-haired man, which was embarrassing, after the old general woke up, the wind of the Manchurian Dynasty became more and more intense, Liu Qi almost became a thief that everyone shouted and beat, and the old general on the battlefield was angry. ordered someone to carry a coffin and sent it straight to the door of Xu Churen and other literati leaders.

The literati who originally jumped up and down, seeing that Liu Zhongwu was actually doing this, one by one was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and in annoyance and anger, a letter of impeachment against Liu Zhongwu poured towards the palace like snowflakes.

However, most of these are the actions of some middle and lower-level officials, and those officials at the upper level of Daqi, whether it is Xu Churen or Qin Hui. At this time, they all suddenly fell silent, because they all had a faint feeling of unease.

Sure enough, the so-called extreme things must be opposed, and the literati are menacing to write books. caused Gao Quanye to be furious, and above the court, he reprimanded the literati loudly: "You don't think about the strategy of breaking the enemy and serving the country." I only know that those who are full of paper are also talking on paper. In vain, it is a big Qi pillar, croaking! ”

And that's not all. After retiring from the court, he issued three decrees in one day, and the civil officials who were the most fierce in the past few days were demoted to the Hokkaido area, so that they could experience the border affairs for a good time.

Hokkaido was originally the Zhongjing Province of the Liao State, after the two countries of Qi and Jin jointly destroyed the Liao, the Zhongjing Province was changed to Hokkaido by the Great Qi, originally between the Jin State, there was also a Northeast Province, but after Gao Quanwu led the army to entrench the Northeast Province, this Hokkaido became a veritable frontier.

was relegated to such a bitter cold place, and it was a border battlefield, and these civilian officials suddenly didn't even have a place to cry, and they even had the heart to die for a while.

As soon as this move came out, the civil officials who were originally dancing happily suddenly seemed to be choked by the neck, and they died down in an instant, and no one dared to say anything anymore.

No one mentions the defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army, as if it had been deliberately forgotten.

"This Liu Qi is also a man, and he is very calculating!" After Fang Jinzhi listened, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"That's right, he is very smart, if he comes back alive, this defeat will definitely be to blame, I'm afraid that even General Liu will be implicated, but now that Han Shizhong is alive and he is dead, it is to avoid all this from happening, not only that, but it also makes the Liu family's status in the hearts of the official family rise a little, after all, he also has a younger brother who is fifteen years old!" Bai Qing nodded and said.

But even if he understands this, but at the time of life and death, the kind of determination that can still die generously, Bai Qing also admires him.

Liu Qi used his death to bear almost everything, saved Han Shizhong, and also won the Liu family for at least ten years!

"Now that the Northern Expedition has been defeated, the official family should be able to live in peace for a few days!" Fang Jinzhi asked Bai Qing, "Let's hurry up and go back, Xiao Wu is about to give birth!" ”

"I hope so!" Bai Qing sighed lightly, but after hearing Fang Jinzhi's next words, there was a faint joy on his face.

Thinking about his family, Bai Qing's heart was like an arrow, and the pace of the team's progress suddenly became a little faster.

Walking to the border of Jinju, this return journey is already nearly halfway through.

In the past few days, the news of the DPRK and China has also been continuously transmitted to Bai Qing's hands, and all kinds of signs show that things do not seem to have evolved in the direction he expected.

Just as he was sighing, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came, and then, under the eyes of those guards, a horse rushed straight towards the convoy on Bai Qing's side.

The guards had a vigilant look in their eyes, and the blades in their hands were drawn one after another, waiting for the battle.

"Bai Xianggong, there is a decree from the saint!"

After seeing Bai Qing's convoy, the rider's face showed a somewhat relieved look, and when he was about to approach the convoy, he shouted loudly.

Bai Qing, who was in the carriage, frowned when he heard the shout, and then got out of the carriage.

"Xianggong!" Seeing Bai Qing actually come out, one of the guards suddenly wanted to persuade him a little anxiously.

"It's okay!" Bai Qing waved his hand and stood there.

After a simple identification of his identity, the guards let the rider go, and he came to Bai Qing's face, first knelt on one knee on the ground, and clenched his fist at Bai Qing: "Bai Xianggong, I have finally found you, and the Holy Lord's will will be conveyed to you!" ”

When he spoke, he looked out of breath, and it looked like he had run for his life along the way.

Although he had a bad premonition in his heart, Bai Qing nodded, and then saw the rider take out a scroll from his arms, stand up, and say to Bai Qing: "Bai Qing, the secretary of the ministry, receives the order!" ”

Bai Qing and the guards knelt on the ground, and after the guard calmed down his rapid breathing, he began to read aloud.

The holy decree was very short, and it was so short that the people around Bai Qing didn't have time to be stunned before it ended, and when Bai Qing stood up and took the holy decree from the rider's hand, his face suddenly had a somewhat helpless look.
