Chapter 70: The Stage Begins
The war that changed the name of the Han Empire, which was later called the "Esage Blood Collapse", was difficult for the historians of the Han Empire to write.
There are two reasons why it is difficult to write.
First, although this war is called "Essenqi Blood Collapse", from the beginning to the end, the Esace side only invested its own fifty troops, and it was its own most elite Wuxiong Pass defenders who caused countless casualties to the Han Empire.
The second is that this war, which almost changed the dynasty of the Han Empire, finally ended with a few words from an old monster who had been sealed with great effort.
The historians of the Han Empire, who racked their brains, discussed all night, and finally wrote such a compromise description on the official history "Book of Great Han"-
"On the ninth day of October in the 40th year of Dahan Jingzong Taikang, the Essage army was defeated and could not enter Hanye again."
This passage is written in an extremely obscure manner, saying neither who defeated the Esacech army nor the number of the Esacech army.
Therefore, history is the book of merit written by the victors, even if this merit comes from a very comical way.
After the absurd war in the Esace country, there is one demon who has benefited the most.
Naturally, the first demon ended the chaos of this war in a few words, and it was finally able to obtain a small courtyard where the sun could be seen in the place where it was in the south.
Outside the small courtyard, there was naturally a ten-fold demon spell array of the Demon Suppression Sect guarding it, and there were also 45,000 three checkpoints composed of blazing soldiers, barbarian demons, and winged demons.
Although the Six-Winged Demon Emperor was only a few feet free, and could not go beyond the courtyard for half a step, he was happy all day long, playing with an unknown bird in his hand.
Such a casual appearance made the old soldier Fu who had been guarding it a mystery, and he also discovered a very strange phenomenon from the chaotic abyss.
"This old devil must be crazy, and he is poor in the air all day long. Also, did you notice that its hair turned gray too quickly? Lao Fu said to Lao Liu, a member of the Demon Suppression Sect who had partnered with him for decades and was also a virgin, "A few days ago, it only had a few gray hairs, but today it is already gray. β
Lao Liu poked his head into the chaotic abyss in the courtyard: "I guess it's because I was locked up ten thousand years ago, and the flow of time there is slower than ours here." Don't forget that the one attached inside is a person from the previous dynasty, and according to the normal age, he is nearly 100 years old. β
"That's right," the old man took a puff of dry cigarette, and then handed it to Lao Liu, "This old thing is probably aging rapidly now, maybe it will die in a few days, then we can disarm and return to the field, and that place will be disbanded on the spot." β
"That's great!" Lao Liu took a few puffs of dry tobacco, and looked at Lao Fu, his partner for many years, and laughed.
Hearing the hearty laughter coming from outside the courtyard, Chao Yuan smiled coldly, squinting at the bird in his hand that ordinary people couldn't see: "Bi Lingzhen, Bi Lingzhen, quickly tell your master Xueling, I am about to complete ten percent of the human body, and when the time comes, her sister's return from the two-dimensional world will be just around the corner." β
The bird, called the Feather Feather, flapped its wings a few times and disappeared into the air.
Press this poor white banzai old monster and talk about another person who has benefited from the Esage incident.
At this moment, this man was pacing in front of the neat knight on a tall war horse with golden armor, and he himself was also dressed in golden armor, with a smug smile on his face.
"Congratulations to Shi Xiang, congratulations to Shi Xiang!" Beside him, a man of Kong Wu, who was also riding a golden-armored horse and wearing a golden armor, had a flattering look on his face, "I finally got what I wanted, and carried forward our Xuanjia army to this point!" β
The person who was called Shi Xiang said to the person behind him in a good mood: "Jiu Zhen, this time I only gave you a supervisor of the Xuanjia Army, but I gave your apprentice my son Shi Yuanmou a commander, you won't have any complaints, right?" β
The person who was called Jiu Zhen behind him hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "How dare you complain!" Although I have some skills, but I don't have the ability to kill the enemy, this Xuanjia army was established by Shi Xiang's family, and it is naturally the most appropriate for Shi Gongzi to recognize the commander. And again......"
He urged the horse to take two steps, approached the side of the person who was called Shi Xiang, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the latter: "The Xuanjia Army will be Shi Xiang's Shi Family Army in the future, and this Dahan will not be the Wu family of the Blazing Army." β
The person who was called to Shi Xiang stroked the horsehair of the war horse under him, and said slowly: "You have this consciousness is commendable, and I will stay until my son leads the Xuanjia army to make meritorious deeds, I will definitely recommend you to go to one of the five levels to guard one of the five levels and become a marquis, what do you think?" β
The person who was called Jiu Zhen made a ninety-degree salute on the horse, and his tone revealed his feelings: "Thank you for cultivating Shi Xiang!" The humble duty must be done to assist the son in his career! β
The two people riding the gold-armored war horse, walking in front of Dahan Zuozai Shi Siliang, and behind him was Li Jiuzhen, who was once the top of the red youth list and was later called into the Xuanjia Army.
The two of them paced their horses, enjoying the gaze of the golden-armored knight on their side, and the joy in their hearts was undoubtedly expressed through the raised corners of their mouths.
After the battle of Esech, Shi Siliang's plan to expand the Xuanjia Army that he had planned for a long time was finally made up of the emperor's eldest grandson Yucheng in the Heavenly Dome Palace.
The reason for the smooth passage this time was nothing more than that His Majesty the Emperor was worried that there would be another major military mutiny, and that the scene of the elite heavy troops being pinned down and unable to protect themselves made him so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night.
For such a good reason, even Youzai Nangong Mingyu, who has always been at odds with Shi Siliang in the court, accepted it silently this time, although his face was as ugly as his in-law Wu Chengbi, who was married to his fingertips.
His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care whether your face is ugly or not, what he wants is peace of mind and long-term social stability.
Shi Siliang has always been obsessed with the marriage of the Right Zaifu and the Zhuguo Mansion.
Youzai Nangong Mingyu, the eldest of the civil officials, Wu Chengbi, the prince of the Zhuguo, and the pillar of the military attachΓ©s, these two were originally above 10,000 people under one person in their respective fields, and they even married each other, do they still need other officials to live?
When he heard Nangong Mingyu say with a smile in the court, he said the news that his daughter and Wu Chengbi's second son were married, Shi Siliang vaguely noticed that there was a moment of unhappiness on the face of the person on the dragon chair.
Zuo Zai, who was very good at observing words and feelings, knew at the moment that the emperor was actually very resistant to this kind of marriage between civil and military ministers, but it was only because of his emperor's face that it was not revealed on the surface.
After perceiving the emperor's slight expression, a thought suddenly rose in Shi Si's conscience - maybe in the near future, his dream of expanding the army will come true.
So for a long time, he had been waiting for an opportunity.
When he heard that among the men and horses who were coming from Yongning from all directions, Wuning Hou Nangong Yucheng was impressively in the ranks, he knew that his opportunity had come.
At this time, he didn't exert his strength, because he wanted to watch the changes first and see how far Nangong Yucheng's rebellion would implicate his cousin.
Sure enough, since Nangong Yucheng attacked Yongning, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes when he looked at Nangong Mingyu became cold and complaining, and Shi Siliang's heart was full of joy at this time.
When the spies reported to him that Wu Chengbi had released a blue-eyed eagle to deliver a letter to Yongning, Shi Siliang knew that his opportunity had come, and he decided to take a gamble, betting that Wu Chengbi sent a good strategy that could defeat the enemy.
However, he must first give his loyalty before this good plan is delivered to His Majesty the Emperor.
So, he hurriedly entered the palace overnight, knelt down in front of the eldest grandson Yucheng, rested his head on his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the chaos of the four passes is approaching soon, and the minister is willing to ask for the order to lead the ministers to help guard the head of the Tianchi Gate with 5,000 helpers, and swear to defend Yongning City!" Defend the Great Han River! β
The eldest grandson Yucheng, who has not closed his eyes for several days, has been so betrayed by the four guards that everyone looks like a traitor.
"Why is my life so miserable, and I have encountered two disasters in succession!" The eldest grandson, Yu Cheng's shoulders trembled with sobbing, "Could it really be that Dahan is going to die at my hands?!" β
I don't know if he was really moved, Shi Siliang's eyes were also full of tears: "Your Majesty! Don't make such judgments! Your Majesty's Great Han will last forever! Wu Zhuguo will definitely find a good way to break the enemy! Weichen will also swear to defend the Dahan country! β
The scene of the two hugging each other and crying undoubtedly laid an emotional foundation for the expansion of the Xuanjia Army in the future.
And the bet on Wu Chengbi was finally successful, and the five thousand Xuanjia soldiers of Zuo Zaifu did not stand on the gate tower of Tianchi Gate.
Three months later, the Xuanjia Army, which was rapidly expanded to 300,000 people, and the 250,000 Blazing Army after resting, became the two most elite heavy troops in the north and south of Dahan, and Dahan entered a new situation of the two armies holding each other.
At the same time, the old demon Bai Wansui, who was happy and comfortable in a few feet of land, was rapidly aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When it was already old and withered, a fifteen-year-old girl finally decided to return home after almost a month of living like a savage in Leping Mountain, twenty miles away from it.
"In the future, I will call Gongsun Chao!"
The girl thought to herself.
