A piece of letter paper fluttered down in the river, and it was soon completely soaked.

The matter of Lao Shun Pinghou is very simple.

On the bright side, it is because the old Shunping Marquis is a northerner and belongs to the nobles.

He had no connections in the south, so he was attacked by the important ministers of the central and southern families of the DPRK, and the Northern Expedition was powerless, and he was repeatedly dragged back, and he had no choice but to retreat to the Yangtze River.

In order to show his determination to stick to the death, Lao Shun Pinghou took his family to the front line.

But for some reason on the way, his whereabouts leaked, and the family of Lao Shun Pinghou was intercepted by Donghu soldiers and horses.

Lao Shun Pinghou led his troops to ambush, but he didn't want to fall for the plan of attacking the east and west, and died on the battlefield with seven children.

It was so tragic that the old Shun Pinghou only shouted "cross the river!" before he died! Crossing! Crossing! ”。

There is not a word about the family.

In fact, the truth investigated by Lian Hansheng is basically the same as the situation that has been circulated.

The difference is that the old Shunping Marquis received a secret order from the emperor before he led his troops to ambush.

And the whereabouts of the family of the Marquis of Lao Shunping were also deliberately leaked by the emperor to the Donghu people.

The purpose is to attract Donghu soldiers and horses to intercept, and then use ambushes to break the Donghu soldiers and horses.

Of course, the emperor must not have talked about the matter of the family being used as bait, otherwise it would be too chilling.

However, Lao Shun Pinghou is vague, and he should be able to know some truth.

However, Rao is like this, Lao Shun Pinghou also admitted it, calmed down, and used his family as bait to wait for the ambush of the Donghu people.

After all, with the situation of the Han court at that time, a big victory was urgently needed to appease the people in the south and the Chinese military of the dynasty.

And as a northerner and a noble old Shunping Marquis, if he can succeed in the ambush, he will win this big victory.

can also have more say in the court, so as to confront those important ministers in the south in the court.

In a sense, it's okay in the big picture.

It was only in the end that the news of Lao Shunpinghou's ambush along the way was also leaked out, which led to the failure of the ambush.

Shunping Hou is in the first vein, and only Zhao Ning is left.

And before Lao Shunping Hou died, he did not mention his family, but shouted "cross the river!" Crossing! Crossing! ”。

Although it is full of loneliness and regret, only despair is left for the declining rivers and mountains of Dahan.

But there are only some fears in it, and the guilt is in it.

Using family members as bait, how can you have the cheekiness to mention it again?

Although it was not Lao Shunpinghou's strategy, he still implemented it according to the plan, and he also lost the whole family, and he was really shameless to face it.

And in the whole incident, the image of the first emperor of the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly extremely disgraceful.

It may be a struggle to make the Marquis of Shunping able to fight against the southern clan in the court.

Or simply sacrificed the whole family of the Marquis of Shunping, solved the political enemies for the important ministers of the family, and used it to curry favor with the southern family.

But no matter what kind of political needs are motivated, or if they sincerely want to defeat the Donghu people, the revival of the Han dynasty will be returned to the old capital.

The emperor owes a lot to the Marquis of Shunping.

You must know that in the five hundred years since Emperor Zhaolie re-established the Han Dynasty, various forces have alternated, and new people have replaced old people from generation to generation.

Even Marquis Wu, Marquis Huan, and Marquis Zhuang, for various reasons, in later generations, broke off their inheritance.

The family is naturally still there, but the direct descendants can no longer be found.

There is only one vein of Shunping Hou.

In the past five hundred years, from Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong at the beginning, to Zhao Ning and Zhao Ziyi now.

Eighteen generations of ancestors and grandchildren, from generation to generation are loyal, whether it is a young emperor or a mediocre master, they all support without hesitation.

But in the end, the situation of Zhao's orphans is really chilling.

This is also the reason why Yue Shaoqian and Xue Jia were a little uneasy after reading the letter.

Zhao Ning was to inherit the ambition of his father and brother, so he traveled thousands of miles and rode into Qiongzhou alone to support the Han Dynasty.

Counting the distance of getting lost, it may be 100,000 miles, 200,000 miles.

It's really rare to be able to find Qiongzhou.

In Jingnan, the white horse silver spear entered and exited seven times, which can also reflect its determination.

But after Zhao Ning knew such a fact and knew what the first emperor had done, he didn't know what he would think in his heart.

The human heart is the thing that can't help but change.

But the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done.

Since the emperor handed over the truth found out by Lian Hansheng to Zhao Ning as it was, without worrying about changes, he still made him take the position of an extremely key pioneer when crossing the river, and he must have considered it.

Soon Zhao Ning's pioneer ship had already docked.

The soldiers of the Han army went ashore and engaged the Donghu soldiers who were defending the shore.

The bloody battle is thrilling.

Bursts of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the war drums were loud.

Zhao Ning's troops and horses charged bravely, stepping on the corpses of the Donghu people and advancing forward.

Their faces are engraved with determination and determination.

After crossing the Yangtze River, the world will be widened, and it is self-evident what it means to the Han at this time.

And as the vanguard soldiers, they can be described as carrying a heavy responsibility!

The Donghu soldiers and horses on the shore were not to be outdone and resisted vigorously.

Shi Zhouhao's unusually Lixian corporal shared the same hatred of the enemy, which really boosted some morale, so that the Donghu soldiers adhered to the heart of revenge and did not flinch.

For a moment, sharp blades were smashed, arrows were fired, and a desperate struggle began.

But after a while, both sides have no advantage.

This was extremely unfavorable to the Han army.

The Donghu people were guarding the banks of the Yangtze River and did not allow the Han army to land on a large scale.

As long as it remains undefeated and maintains the front, along the Yangtze River, there will not be enough opportunities for the main forces of the Han army to land on a large scale.

And the Han army must win, and it must advance little by little.

In order to ensure that when landing, they will not be harassed by the Donghu people, and they can also vacate enough positions for the follow-up soldiers and horses to land.

Therefore, the progress was not very smooth, and there was no way to take the tight enemy phalanx, and there was no way to make any breakthroughs.

And Shi Zhouhao Ah Di was also specially prepared.

Among the Donghu people, there are axemen with big axes.

In the Han army, there were mostly spears and spears, which were long-handled weapons.

This is a habit left behind by going south to fight against Donghu for 20 years.

Long-handled weapons are more convenient to fight against the cavalry that the Donghu people are proud of.

But as the saying goes, one thing descends one thing, your Han army has a way to deal with cavalry, and my Donghu naturally has a way to deal with you.

Formed axe soldiers, used to chop long-handled weapons, quite easy to use.

Just chop your spear and spearhead, and there will be no wooden pole.

The Donghu axe soldiers, with heavy axes in their hands, make people feel a little palpitations.

In just a few moments, hundreds of spears and spears were cut off by these big axes.

The spearmen in the back wanted to take over from the brothers in front, but when they stretched out their spears, they were easily cut in two.

When the head of the spear falls to the ground, the spear is useless.

Although it is said that you can kill people without a gun, it is definitely not an ordinary pawn who can do it.

Seeing that the Han soldiers were killed for a while, they still did not advance an inch, but were cut off a large number of guns and spears by themselves.

For a while, those Donghu soldiers couldn't help but shout, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Although there are not many gains.

But judging from the current invincible record of the Han army, they can withstand the offensive, which is a rare record!

And at this moment, Zhao Ning moved!

Pioneers, those who can be pioneers must be people who can open up the situation.

Zhao Ning is such a person.

The way he opened up the situation was by personal force.

When Shi Zhouhao saw this, he immediately felt a wake-up call in his heart.

Before Shi Zhou Haocong, he was rushed to death by Zhao Ning's seven in and seven outs!

He immediately ordered:

"Zhao Ning is just a horseman, the Han army has few soldiers, and he can't support him, so quickly form a formation to meet the enemy!"

A general who looked at Kong Wu's strength, under the command of Shi Zhouhao, killed it.

At the same time, the part of the Donghu people who faced Zhao Ning also set up a very basic formation.

In front were sword and shield men, in the rear were pikemen, and in the back were archers.

When the archers saw Zhao Ning rushing towards him, they began to release arrows.

Seeing this, Zhao Ning just snorted coldly.

Between the swings of the bright silver spear in his hand, the arrows rained down one after another.

The white horse rushed to the front of the formation, and the fierce general of Donghu who came out happened to engage him.

Zhao Ning picked up a shot in his hand and picked up the saber in his hand.

The second shot came to stab General Donghu Meng's head, and General Donghu Mengjiang hurriedly lowered his head, only to feel a cool breeze blowing on his head, and touched his hand, but the tasseled helmet was picked up by Zhao Ning.

Brother Meng's heart was shocked, he was also a warrior in the army, and in terms of martial arts alone, he was not even under some generals.

But this Zhao Ning is too fierce, and if you shoot again, the others will be gone!

Frightened, where did he dare to confront Zhao Ning, and hurriedly pulled out his horse and fled.

The Donghu soldier behind him also hurriedly got out of the way.

Zhao Ning wanted to chase, but the formation was closed again, and the pikemen behind the big shield were tall and tall spears, and the archers behind them kept shooting cold arrows, which was really unpleasant.

Zhao Ning blocked the arrows while looking at the banner of Shi Zhou Hao in the Chinese army.

He also wanted to directly cut down the enemy's main general like he had crossed the river before, and everything would be fine.

But this time it was not as easy as before, the attack was launched from the front, and even the vest of the enemy commander had not yet been touched.

It's not a big problem, though.

Zhao Ning's martial arts, among the Donghu army along the coast, there is nothing comparable to it.

He directly used himself as a spear, led the vanguard soldiers and horses, and charged!

Regardless of whether he was an axe soldier or a fierce general, he directly tore a gap in the tight phalanx.

Then, in the close standing enemy formation, he slaughtered all sides.

Zhao Ning's body style is really so incomprehensible.

The horse's hooves are up, and the next moment they dare to ask where the road is.

Even a small number of Donghu soldiers were led astray.

They didn't mess up the formation because of Zhao Ning's bravery.

After all, there are many people, and they have been prepared for a long time, and if one dies, the follow-up one can be made up in time.

But in order to stop Zhao Ning, and with his route, he couldn't find the north after a while.

I can't tell the direction, where is the formation to speak of?

In addition, Zhao Ning is indeed brave and unparalleled, no matter how many Donghu people there are in front of him, they are all destroyed, and the flesh and blood fly for a while......

The vanguard soldiers of the Han army of more than 1,000 people on the shore, under the leadership of Zhao Ning, opened a corner of the Donghu army that was strictly guarded in one breath! ——

"Your Highness, you have to send more troops and horses to support! Then Zhao Ning is not easy to get along with, there is no fierce general in the army who can match it! ”

The army is missing a corner, and if the Han army is allowed to continue to expand its gains, more Han troops will begin to land on the shore.

And more Han troops came up, and when the time came, they would gouge this opening, which was enough for them to be completely defeated.

Shi Zhouhao's face was solemn.

This Zhao Ning is about to treat seven in and seven out as a regular equipment, they are Donghu warriors, not orchids!

He could see it best in the rear, what kind of move did this have?

Rao is the horsemen in the army who have been galloping in the desert all year round, and he can't judge Zhao Ning's next direction!

But Shi Zhouhao suddenly found that in the current situation, it was already a good thing for them.

There is no fierce general in the army who can match Zhao Ning, can anyone eat that Liu Pheasant on a chessboard?

Let Zhao Ning be the vanguard, this is already the consequence of the Han army's underestimation of the enemy!

"Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning"

Shi Zhouhao thought in his heart.

"Zhao Ning is counting on the chaos created by using his personal bravery to make our army frightened."

"Cooperate with the vanguard soldiers and horses, work hard, achieve absolute superiority in the local area, and after breaking through the array, then take the follow-up army ashore!"

Shi Zhouhao's gaze kept moving along the Yangtze River.

He also had soldiers and horses in his hands, not only the heavy troops who were on the front line along the coast, but also the reserves that were ready to support the reinforcements.

Although Zhao Ning was brave, it was difficult to break through their defense line for a while.

Thinking only for a moment, Shi Zhouhao raised and put down his hand, and thought:

"If it is not too early today, the Han army will definitely want to cross the river in a hurry, if it waits until night, it will be easy to make trouble."

"Zhao Ning, as a pioneer, must want to fight quickly if he kills the enemy so regardless of physical exertion."

"Liu Pheasant in the rear must also know that there can be no delay."

"Since this is the case, then continue to fight slowly and grind slowly with the Han army."

"It just so happens that Wei Chengxian's department hasn't come yet."

"When Wei Chengxian approached the Han army with the officers and soldiers of our army dressed as the Han army, and suddenly turned against him, the Han army was defenseless, and it was bound to suffer heavy losses and low morale."

"That's when the winner is decided!"

Shi Zhouhao immediately ordered, and the main thing was a delaying war.

And for Zhao Ning, he still has a way.

Daddy Shi Zhouhao Ahu once mentioned to him that the death of the old Shun Pinghou was not so simple.

He immediately sent people, shouting in turn, to deliver the message:

"Zhao Ning!"

"Do you know why the ambush of the old Shunping Marquis was exposed!!"

"You are faithful to the Savior, don't save the wrong person!"

Shi Zhouhao didn't care if it could be useful or not.

As long as he can interfere with Zhao Ning and disgust Liu Pheasant, he will be comfortable.

And there is no doubt that this is a thunder point.

Even on the battlefield today, it does not play a role.

After the war, Zhao Ning will definitely have a pimple in his heart, because the Donghu people mentioned his late father, and they felt that something was not right, so they investigated the events of that year.

It's easy to find something when you look it up.

Now the Han army seems to be fighting from the outside, and it has become very difficult to fight.

So why not try to disintegrate from within?

However, at this moment, the Yangtze River not far away seemed to be churning, and a wave of water was rising, completely involving the letter-like objects.

There is always a sense of foreboding in people's hearts.

Shi Zhouhao's words reached Zhao Ning's ears after the Donghu people shouted in turn.

He was stunned, and the bright silver spear in his hand was even slowed down for a moment, almost missing someone in seconds.

At this moment, the battlefield seems to be suffocatingly quiet.

When the soldiers of the Han army saw their own generals, they couldn't help but be a little puzzled by this sudden hesitation.

Could it be that there is something else going on in the old Shun Pinghou?

When Shi Zhou saw this, he was ecstatic in his heart.

Zhao Ning, as a pioneer, if something goes wrong, the Han army will not be so easy to go ashore!

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Ning only hesitated slightly.

He stabbed a few Donghu people to death, and suddenly withdrew to the Han army, and the ghostly route made a group of Donghu soldiers pounce.

Then, he swept the bright silver gun in his hand, pointed to the Yangtze River behind him, and said sharply:

"Soldiers!"

"Fifteen years ago, my father Zhao Ling was ordered to garrison the south bank of the Yangtze River."

It is not easy to convey words on the battlefield.

Shi Zhouhao's words had to be repeated by dozens of Donghu strong men with thick voices before they could reach Zhao Ning's ears.

But Zhao Ning is worthy of being a fierce man who can enter and exit seven times, and one person's voice can be comparable to dozens of Donghu strong men.

The clear voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"My father did not hesitate to send his family to the front line as bait to attract the Donghu people to attack and lead troops to ambush."

Zhao Ning's expression was solemn, at that time, he was only a few years old, but he seemed to have seen everything that was extremely tragic in that year.

"However, the whereabouts of the deceased father were revealed, and the ambush failed."

"I, the seven generals of the Zhao family, died in battle, and my wife and daughter's family were also murdered by the Donghu people."

"There are only three sighs left to cross the river."

"Ben Jiang dreamed of his father last night, but he knew that the heroic souls of his father and brother who died in the war were still gathering on the Yangtze River with tens of millions of soldiers, drifting with the tide and lingering."

"They failed to defeat the Donghu people."

"As a result, the Han Dynasty was trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, unable to counterattack, and was defeated and retreated, so the resentment was difficult to disperse."

"Cross the river!"

"It has been fifteen years since my father's last words."

"They have been trapped by the Yangtze River for fifteen years!"

Zhao Ning choked, the bright silver spear in his hand suddenly turned, pointed from the river to the Donghu people in front of him, and shouted:

"Today."

"Cross the river! Crossing! Crossing! ”
