Chapter 317: The aftermath of the martial arts
The three military exercises of the Central Plains Xia State gradually passed, and this novelty and impressiveness spread out from the mouths of the people, and also made the civil and military officials and families of the Central Plains more clearly and intuitively understand the soldiers and horses held by the young emperor of the Xia State and how terrifying those fierce generals were.
This kind of direct attack on the hearts of the three armies of the martial arts, transmitted from various channels, also has a great effect on promoting the annexation of the Central Plains, at least the big clans that are still under the jurisdiction of Su Chen, through the mouths of the children of the clan who watched the ceremony, after learning that the army in the hands of the Emperor of the Xia State was even more terrifying than the rumors, some thoughts finally pressed back to the bottom of their hearts.
It turned out that the two big families who were close to the north, that is, the Wang family and the Li family, who had a grain deal with Su Ting back then, were the first to respond after Su Chen entered the Central Plains.
At the beginning of the Xia Kingdom, he successively expressed his goodwill to Su Chen through two officials who were pushed to the court.
The three armies of Luyang practiced martial arts, and they also sent the younger generation of the clan to watch the ceremony, and on the way back, they also wrote down what they saw and heard, and sent fast horses to send them home first.
The two families, which were already friendly to the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, naturally made a big article, first, to express their loyalty to Su Chen, and secondly, they also wanted to enhance Su Chen's prestige in the Central Plains, which would be of great benefit to both families in the future.
Of course, there are still a number of Central Plains clans who have succumbed to the surface, after all, after Su Chen established the country, the original Central Plains court civil and military affairs have basically become decorations, and everything is decided by the court in the north, which makes the agreement they reached with Su Chen before become a dead letter, and secretly instigated people to reject Huaxia Xinxue and make waves.
However, as the deterrent effect of the military exercises of the three armed forces began to ferment in the Central Plains, many of the resistance became small, and they could only criticize the New Deal in private.
But the ordinary people don't think as much as those people above, many new policies in China are more inclined to the people, who let them benefit and let them live a good life, they will respect whom, and then count the more and more mature military system, and under continuous improvement, there are already many family members in the army who have land in the Central Plains and have been promised by the emperor, who dares to say that it is not for Su Chen, they really dare to go to find someone to fight in groups.
In Li Shimin's original words, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.
With this sentence, Su Chen also believes that the people are the cornerstone of the city, and the cornerstone is unstable, and the Great Xia will fall.
"You have also seen my army, they will be stationed in the Central Plains for the time being, but it doesn't mean that they won't go north."
On the towering city wall of Luyang, Su Chen wore armor and dragged a white cloak in front, and in the afterglow of the soldiers patrolling around, he was a little surprised that the emperor was followed by two foreign generals.
It is the iron tooth and the bone duohun who have not shown up, they each represent the corpse and the five thousand cavalry of the Xuan Department all the way through the state to Luyang, and in the recent time, they have seen the most prosperous city in the Central Plains, and they are also on the city wall when they are performing martial arts, and they have watched all the troops under the command of the Emperor of Xia.
Each of the soldiers and horses gave the two of them enough shock, after all, it was only the Youyan Army and the Tang Army that defeated them, and the other four soldiers and horses had been stationed in the Central Plains.
If they had been killed together last winter, I am afraid that the two Xirong divisions would have been defeated in less than a month.
"When you two went south, how did you feel about the political department I set up on the grassland?" Su Chen stopped, stood in front of the Xuanchun Gate Tower, and turned his head to look at the two people who bowed their heads.
"Commander Zhang of the Great Khan of the Hui Dynasty and General Geshu clearly judged right and wrong, and they were extremely fair to the tribe."
"Well, that's fine, if the Iron Buddha and the corpse are not broken, you can find the two of them, of course, if it is inconvenient for the two of you to come forward in private, as long as it does not affect the stability of Xirong, you can do whatever you want."
Hearing Su Chen's words, a trace of hatred flashed between Iron Tooth and Gu Duohun's eyes.
"That's right." Su Chen opened his mouth to interrupt the 'affectionate' look between the two, and continued to move forward with his hands on his shoulders, and came to the stone steps below the city tower: "After you go back, tell the Iron Buddha and the corpse to chase the spring, continue to cut off the trade routes of the Qi State and the Liang Kingdom, and everything you grab belongs to you, in the past two years, you have to accumulate troops, and I may need your troops at that time!" ”
"Obey the Great Khan's Order!"
After walking the last steps, Su Chen walked into the carriage and looked back at the two people who bowed behind him: "On the way back, go and intercept the team of the envoys of the Liang State and kill a person named Li Renxiao, he came to Luyang, and he is disrespectful to your Great Khan!" ”
"Yes!" The two shouted in unison again.
Su Chen nodded with satisfaction, sat down in the imperial chariot and lowered the curtain, the cart pulled by the nine horses slowly drove away, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu led the guards to the imperial city left and right.
Soon, the two Xijon cavalry stationed in the north quietly left in the night and began to gallop in the northwest direction.
On May 15, the team of the envoys of the Liang State passed through Fengzhou to Meizhou, which returned to Daliang according to the path they came.
In the ten days since he returned, he didn't say much goodbye and didn't say much, and he was probably still immersed in the depressed atmosphere of Xiang Lishanba dying in the ring.
Knowing that the other party came with the intention of dying, Ye Ci said goodbye in his heart and still hoped that he could go back alive, after all, Da Liang needed such a generous heroic man who went to death.
It is a pity to die in order to sweep the prestige of the emperor of the Xia Kingdom like this.
"Alas...... I didn't want to, but I finally brought one back. ”
He sighed and said, and Xifeng Renxiao glanced at him disdainfully, leaning against the wall of the compartment and closing his eyes, "I didn't go back alive because of your merits." ”
said so, but thinking of the Xia State army in Luyang's martial arts, as well as the strength displayed by those generals, made people shudder.
Just as Ye Ci was about to scold him, the voice of the escort sergeant sounded outside: "Envoy, a group of cavalry is chasing after us!" ”
The faces of the two people in the carriage showed astonishment, and the moment they got out of the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth had spread, and what greeted them was the scene of thousands of troops and horses.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen in leather jackets stepped on the dense smoke and dust, divided into five strands and outflanked from the rear, and the dense cavalry group drew their bows and arrows when they saw this convoy.
Whoosh –
The dense arrows instantly covered the black pressure from three directions, and the guards in the team grabbed Ye Qi to say goodbye, and the two rolled into the car together.
Arrows were nailed to the horses, carriages, and people pulling the cart with a 'woo-hoop' sound, and the soldiers who were panicked and vigilant outside were instantly shot into hedgehogs by thousands of arrows.
"No...... No...... Ahhhh......h
When the rain of arrows poured in, he got into the carriage to avoid the first wave of arrow rain, but the exposed calf was still penetrated by the arrows, he covered the injured calf and wailed in the car, and was immediately dragged outside by the iron teeth that jumped on the chariot.
"Seal Renxiao?"
"Yes...... It's not ......" Xifeng Renxiao nodded first, thinking that he might come to him specifically, and hurriedly denied it, at this time there was only one thought in his mind.
I knew that the other party was so stingy, so I wouldn't have swept the face of the Emperor of Xia in the Jinluan Palace.
Thoughts drifted through my mind briefly.
The answer was a sharp blade in Iron Fang's hand that cut off his head and threw it to the ground.
As for the wild farewells hiding under the car, they did not look at it, and after riding their war horses, they roared back to the north in groups.
The horse's hooves faded away, and the guard dragged him out from under the car, and the old man closed his eyes in pain as he looked at the dead head on the ground with a frightened expression.
After they returned to the Liang State and informed Tuoba Kui about the martial arts in the Central Plains, the same young emperor could not see any expression on his face, but only said goodbye to the wild words, and sat in the study of the palace in a daze.
The emperor of Qi who was different from him in a daze, heard the news that Li Xuanchong brought back, and he was panicked all day long, although the emperor of Xia would not move troops and horses in these two years, but after two years, he would be the first to take him under the knife, after all, among the four countries, it was the weakest national strength of Qi.
Immediately, he hurriedly recruited an attendant and wrote a letter of state with his own hands, and asked someone to send it to Luyang to explain why he sent troops to help Wei back then.
Some people are sorrowful, and some people rejoice.
Compared with the two countries of Qi and Liang in the northwest, Wu Yue had a different atmosphere, and the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom received Meng Dan's reply back, as well as a letter written by Su Chen later, which made the Yue Emperor Meng Zhao happy, and with the guarantee of the Xia Emperor, he could finally settle the border dispute completely with confidence.
And his daughter, the princess of Yue Guo and her relatives, is also on the agenda.
There was also an atmosphere of euphoria on the side of the Wu State, which always needed to shake off the blame last year in order to lose the advantage of taking Gyeongju north of the Huai River, and the border dispute between the two countries became more and more intense, which became the reason for not taking Gyeongju.
Now that the situation is getting more and more fierce, Wu Min in Yue not only was not exterminated by the Yue country, but instead trained a mountain elite army of 2,000 people.
The agreement with the Emperor of Xia became the driving force for them to promote this matter.
……
On May 20, when the princess of Yue was still on the way, the merchant ships of Wu docked at Suizhou Wharf and went to Luyang to transport weapons and armor, and at the same time, a reform in the Central Plains gradually showed signs.
Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, and Li Ru teamed up to stage a draw from the bottom of the kettle.
