Chapter 301: The Lie Qin Army was defeated and returned, and the Emperor of Hualan Kingdom died
Last time, he said that the army of the Lieqin Empire at this time, under the leadership of its emperor Helian Tuodi, suffered heavy losses due to the stubborn resistance of the Hualan Empire's army, and finally could not continue to attack. However, Helian didn't want to work in vain, so he wanted to capture the state city of Suihe Prefecture, as long as he captured this Suihe Prefecture, then he would not be considered without gain. As long as this Suihe Prefecture is captured, then most of the northwest of the Hualan Empire will be completely unsafe, and then the Lieqin Empire can fight wherever it wants? There are no scruples at all.
However, the battle of Suihe Prefecture made Helian Tuojiang completely understand one point, that is, his personal expedition was destined to be fruitless. Because, the defenders of Suihe Prefecture are too tenacious! They are not afraid of death, and for the sake of the empire and the people, they would rather die with the enemy than flinch.
Because of this, Helian Tuojiang was completely disappointed. His first imperial expedition not only lost his troops, but also gained nothing, and he could only retreat in a huff. He knew that since he had not captured the state city of Suihezhou, even the cities of the Hualan Empire, large and small, that had been conquered through bloody battles, would not be able to hold on at all. Even if it is Tianhua Pass, it will definitely not be held. Therefore, he directly and quietly withdrew his troops. When Yin Hua Chengzhong, the governor of Pingding, and Chen Huaiyi, the defender of Suihe Prefecture, noticed the retreat of the enemy army, they immediately left the city and successively recovered the cities that had been occupied by the enemy because of the casualties of the defenders.
As for Mu Zongjian, the governor of Suihe Prefecture, as the seventh grandson of Zong Zhonghua, an important minister in the court, he had died in Suiping County, and he was killed in the battle with Shi Chutingzhen, the governor of Suihe Prefecture, and others. When the army of the Hualan Empire recovered Suiping County, they saw Zong Jian, who had his head cut off, and many officials who refused to surrender and were also cut off, including Du Bingzhong, the county guard of Suiping County, and his son Du Huaiyi, as well as many local officials in Suiping County.
And the tragic situation of the battlefield was naturally immediately broadcast live to all the people of the Hualan Empire in real time through the projections set up in various places, which made the people of the entire Hualan Empire completely indignant, and people of insight wrote one after another, hoping that Emperor Hua Zhengmin could destroy the Lieqin Empire.
However, under the personal explanation of Emperor Hua Zhengmindi, all the people also know that although the current Lieqin Empire has returned in vain, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, especially the border between the Lieqin Empire and the Hualan Empire is mostly lofty mountains and mountains, and the passes occupied by the enemy are all "one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", and the Northwest Army of the Empire, which is also damaged, is simply unable to continue the attack. However, for all the people of the Hualan Empire, they thought that they should contribute their own strength to the country, and they thought that because there were many deserts and Gobi in the northwest, grasslands and swamps, sparsely populated, and reserve troops were really scarce, they spontaneously moved to the northwest region. When Hua Zhengmin learned of this news, nearly millions of families had spontaneously migrated from all parts of the Hualan Empire to the northwest region!
Hua Zhengmin, the emperor was naturally very moved, he immediately ordered officials to provide cattle and sheep, ploughing cattle and money for these people who took the initiative to migrate, when the people of the Hualan Empire rushed to the northwest spontaneously migrated to the northwest, the Lieqin Empire broke out at this time A cruel palace coup d'Γ©tat, and the coup d'Γ©tat was initiated by Helian Tuojiang's half-brother Helian Tuoyu, he thought that Helian Tuojiang was just a concubine born to a concubine, and he was born in the main room, and he should have become the emperor of the Lieqin Empire.
However, he did not receive support, and soon his head was cut off by his son Helian Sheng, who also pleaded guilty to the Emperor Helian Tuojiang, hoping that Emperor Helian Tuojiang would forgive him. When Helian Tuojiang heard this, he was very jealous of this Heliansheng, but Heliansheng naturally expressed his loyalty directly, and even he was willing to guard the border for the emperor and would never return to the capital. The strange thing is that Helian Tuojiang actually let him go, and also made him the governor of several states in the northeast frontier. When Helian Sheng left, Helian Tuojiang's son, that is, Helian Sheng, the crown prince of the dynasty, asked: "Father, why do you want to leave this hero who can kill his father." β
Helian Tuojiang said coldly: "I originally wanted to kill him, but after all, he took the initiative to kill his father and surrendered to me. If I kill them again, what will the people of the world think of me? Of course, a brute who can kill his own father naturally can't be trusted. However, such a person, against the enemy, can definitely do anything, especially against the powerful Hualan Empire, this person can definitely make the Hualan Empire fearful. We must constantly send troops to harass the borders of the Hualan Empire, so that the Hualan Empire will never be at peace. This defeat will definitely reduce my prestige. Therefore, soon there will be countless forces in our country that oppose me, and they will start a war against me. So, I'll have to prepare well to fight these internal generals. β
Helian Sheng has a different temperament from his father, he is filial, benevolent and kind, sympathetic to the people, such a beautiful character, but he is not liked by his father. He also repeatedly persuaded his father and emperor not to harm the people at will. This time, he could have a premonition that his father's defeat this time was destined to find a scapegoat to bear the blame for him. And he, as the crown prince who serves as the logistics of the army, I am afraid that he will also be pushed out by his father and become this scapegoat. And those brothers who have always coveted his crown prince will add fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Helian Sheng to be deprived of the crown prince because of logistical food and grass problems, and he himself committed suicide because he didn't want to suffer this grievance.
Then, as Emperor Helian had predicted, the opposition forces in his country immediately rebelled.
However, with the emperor's strategy, Helian Tuojiang, the rebellion in the country was quickly quelled. He didn't care about the death of his own son, for him, Helian Sheng's son was too weak, and he wanted to implement the Hualan Empire in the Lieqin Empire, which was doomed to failure. Therefore, he would rather let this son die, and never allow him to turn over those people who were already sloppy after he ascended the throne.
On the other hand, the Hualan Empire, due to the equality of everyone within the entire empire, has made significant progress in both scientific and technological development and economic development. In particular, the interior of this country has coalesced into a mass of iron, turned into a mass of steel, and its internal cohesion simply does not allow it to decay. Because of the supervision of the whole people, and all the officials of the state are clean and self-sufficient, the state's decrees can be issued from the top to the top, and there is very little corruption.
At this moment, Hua Zhengmin is playing against his teacher! Since the entire Hua royal family also suffered casualties in this battle, he, as the emperor, was of course a little distressed in addition to being proud, especially the death of his favorite eighth grandson Hua Heng, which made him even more sad. Now, his life is coming to an end! He said to his teacher Zhou Shuyu: "Teacher, my life is about to run out!" I wonder if the teacher thinks that today's crown prince Hua Ting can afford to be the emperor? β
Zhou Shuyu nodded and said, "Yes, Hua Ting is good." However, wasn't he relegated to the border by you because he made a mistake? I heard that this time, he also fought desperately to the death, making the enemy fearful. β
Hua Zhengmin said: "I asked him to go to the border gate, one is indeed to punish him, and the other is to hone his will." Now that he's done so well, it's time for him to come back! β
Zhou Shuyu looked at him, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, this apprentice will soon run out of life! And he originally wanted to renew his life! However, this apprentice refused! After all, his wife has been dead for a long time! However, he never remarried again in his life.
Hua Zhengmin looked at his teacher and said, "Teacher, in fact, I know that when I die, you will soon leave this world. In fact, I have always suspected that you have come all the way, indifferent to the world, and you don't care about any fame and fortune at all, and what you do is not like a person at all. It wasn't until I happened to see you use great means to explore the direction of the general trend of the world that I truly understood for the first time that the huge Lanchuan Continent in my eyes was just a drop in the ocean in your eyes. At that time, I longed for that world, but with the death of my wife, I was really afraid that she would be lonely in another world, so I wanted to be able to go over and spend time with her. β
Zhou Shuyu looked at the apprentice in front of him, and only felt a little sad in his heart.
It didn't take long for Hua Ting, the crown prince, to be recruited and re-established as the crown prince, Hua Zhengmin soon died! And the national teacher Zhou Shuyu also soared! The Hualan Empire suddenly lost the founding emperor and the founding teacher, two people who were heartily supported by the people of the world.
As for the death of Emperor Hua Zhengmin and the national teacher Zhou Shuyu who made him jealous at this time, the Emperor Helian Tuojiang of the Lieqin Empire thought that the opportunity had come. Therefore, he immediately led the army to march again.
It's just that Ling Helian didn't think of it? Due to the high degree of unity within the Hualan Empire, Hua Ting has already won the strong support of all his brothers and relatives since he succeeded to the throne, and of course, the support of all the important ministers of the imperial court. Therefore, Hua Ting quickly mastered the government, and he vowed not to live up to the expectations of the emperor's grandfather and his ancestors, and not to live up to the expectations of the people of the world. Therefore, this time, the emperor of the Lieqin Empire, Helian expanded the territory and drove the expedition, so that Hua Ting, the battle-hardened emperor, was also determined to drive the expedition in person.
