Chapter 417, the Eastern Crusade
The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and Helan Xue had already let people escort the grain and grass all the way to the east. In a blink of an eye, on February 26, the army was assembled outside the city, Helan Xue was dressed in Mulan armor, wearing a purple robe, next to the black and gold Jin word flag, there was a purple handsome flag, and the word Helan was written on it, and beside him was Wei Su, Wei Pu and other gentlemen, and the generals were waiting outside the imperial city, Helan Xue took the talisman handed by Emperor Huiwen, kowtowed to thanks, and promised not to disgrace his life.
Then he turned over and got on his horse, and in the eyes of the expectations of the monarch and the ministers, he led the soldiers to ride out of the capital.
The people of Beijing must watch every major event, Helan Xue led the troops to return with a great victory before, this time for the shame of the snow country, led the troops to the east, the people all looked forward to their early victory and return to the court, Helan Xue immediately thanked the people.
In the teahouse next to her, Yinqiao beckoned to her and said loudly: "County Lord, you must take care, our girl hopes that you will win and return to the court as soon as possible." ”
Helan Xue smiled and raised her hand: "I know." ”
Not far away, there were people waiting on the side of the road, but it was even Rachel, her face was hot under the veil, and she tried to make her voice more confident, and said: "Sister Axue, you have to take care of yourself, I ...... I will chant sutras every day to pray for my sister's blessing and ask the Buddha to bless my sister with safety and success. As he spoke, he handed her a small peace charm. Her eyes swept over Wei Rong's face inadvertently.
Wei Rong smiled and touched the armor on his chest, where there was also a peace charm, and he quietly winked at her, even Rachel's face became hotter.
No one noticed this scene, Helan Xue leaned over with a smile, handed her something, and said, "You can make something for me according to this, and I'll give it to me when I come back, otherwise don't blame me for bullying you." ”
Wei Peng waited outside the city early, and when he saw them go out of the city, he hit a horse to greet him, Wei Su smiled and said: "I don't think Sister A Xue should not take Brother Peng to go, this battle will be less than half a year, more than a year, you have something to do, A Peng's long hair in the capital, I don't know if it will be Sauvignon Blanc!" ”
Everyone laughed in unison, Wei Peng's face darkened, and he rode his horse to send ten miles away, and finally gave Helan Xue back, still not forgetting to tell him carefully.
Everyone couldn't stop laughing, General Helan is Wei Peng's weakness, the tip of his heart, he wants to hold it in the palm of his hand all the time!
Since the Great Jin Dynasty issued a crusade against the Great Jin Dynasty, Dongyan and the Great Jin Dynasty have entered a full alert, Helan Xue's army has pressed the border, and the wolf smoke has risen over there, and the two countries have also fallen into a state of war. Dongyan is weak, although there are many soldiers defending the city, but over the years, the officials are corrupt, the officials around the country have exploited the people, and the taxes have increased a lot, and the people around the country have long complained, when the Jin Dynasty army attacked, the people had no one to help defend the city, which made Helan Xue surprised, I thought that no matter what, these people also have to mean it, who knows that the momentum along the way is like a bamboo, but in half a month, it has been won a number of cities in a row, according to this speed, it will not be able to reach the rhythm of the Dongyan capital in May!
Helan Xue's excerpts were also constantly sent to the capital, the most important of which was to ask the imperial court to transfer officials to take over the towns and prefectures that had been laid, and to ensure that these vassals did not die before the complete capture of Dongyan, and then stabilize the hearts of the people in these towns, so as not to make the army suffer from the enemy.
This made Emperor Huiwen and his ministers deeply surprised, and he didn't expect that Helan Xue was thoughtful, and while attacking the city and plundering the land, she didn't forget to arrange these internal affairs, and she really underestimated her in the past.
Mu Zige and the others also fought happily, he and Wei Rong, Wei Pu, Chen Fengting, Ding Tiannuo, and Li Demao were all going to fight for the first time, and they were still under the command of Helan Xue, Wei Su was taught Helan Xue's tyrannical index, they didn't know! Attacking cities and grabbing land all the way, smoothly made them doubt their lives, if the war is like this, how can there be a feeling of war.
Helan Xue glanced at them, stretched out her hand and kept stroking on Xuan Ling's back, this is a fight that caught them off guard, okay, they were not ready to go to war with the Great Jin, the army here pounced like a wolf and a tiger, and when their reinforcements arrived, where would it be so easy, besides, Dongyan has never fought, the grain and grass are sufficient, the army is neatly proportioned, the Jin Dynasty and Beidi and Xiliang have not stopped, if they can't take Dongyan within half a year, their generalissimo of the Eastern Expeditionary Army is dereliction of duty, and they have to consider how to apologize for returning to the dynasty.
Ding Tiannuo disagreed: "I don't believe it, with your playing style, you won't be able to take Dongyan for half a year." ”
Helan Xue glanced at him: "What's wrong with my play?" ”
Wei Su sighed and said, "You take the Xiliang soldiers to feed the tigers." ”
Chen Fengting thought about it and replied for him: "Sister, you are too violent, you don't give people a chance to live at all, I heard that you are still slaughtering cities in Northern Xinjiang?" Is this already merciful? ”
Helan Xue sneered: "Those people in Beidi are wolves, these people are sheep, treat wolves, you have to make them afraid in their bones, treat sheep...... Hehe, Dongyan, I'm going to be included in the territory of the Great Jin, if I slaughter the city, it will also be a dead city in the future, so why am I slaughtering the city? As long as they are terrified, it will be done. ”
Wei Pu was curious: "Ah Xue, isn't it okay for the imperial uncle to be accepted as a subsidiary?" Are you ready to annex the whole of Dongyan? ”
Helan Xue smiled playfully, teased the fox with both hands, and said in a gloomy manner: "How can a subject country have the pleasure of annexation? Isn't it good for us to dominate the world? I'm fighting for your Wei family! ”
Wei Rong's eyes lit up: "Sister Anping, are you considered to be resistant?" ”
Helan Xue knocked on his head and scolded: "What kind of purpose is this? I'm overfulfilling the task, and the emperor should give me a bonus, well, it's a big red envelope, okay. ”
At this time, there were spies outside to report that a large number of people in the city had fled in front, and the soldiers defending the city were fluctuating, and they disposed of a few people in front of the guards, which temporarily stabilized. A strange smile appeared on Helan Xue's face, and she said to Liu Huaiyu: "Second brother, you should be able to operate according to the second set of plans now." ”
Liu Huaiyu nodded with a smile: "Yes, the opportunity is almost over, so I will arrange for someone to enter the city." ”
Mu Zige threw an inquiring look at her, Helan Xue jumped up from the chair, shook the folds of her clothes, and said with a smile: "Let's go, fly a kite." ”
On April 18, the twelfth year of Emperor Huiwen's Yuanping, the early dynasty had not yet dispersed, a war horse galloped into the capital, and immediately people shouted: "Urgent report, urgent report, the Eastern Expedition has won a great victory, Marshal Helan has captured the Dongyan Xiaoyun Pass." ”。
The streets of the capital immediately boiled, Xiaoyun Pass is the third largest city in Dongyan, it has always been heavily protected, it is said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I didn't expect to be beaten down by Helan Xue so soon. When the urgent report was submitted to the council hall, there was a loud discussion in the court, and Yang Qingshan couldn't stop praising it: "Good! Good girl, she is really capable, she won Xiaoyun Pass so quickly, happy! ”
