Chapter 7: The Huns Attack

In an instant, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

As soon as Liang asked, Geng Bingwen immediately fainted.

The punishment of beheading is to cut a person from the waist into two pieces, and the person who is tortured is first alive and then dies because of blood loss.

Liang asked, this is to let Geng Bingwen be tortured alive!

From the initial weighing of the pros and cons, to the current monopoly of power, and then to the final indiscriminate killing of innocents, the changes before and after Liang Wendao are really too big.

But everyone also knows that the emperor's ruthlessness has only just begun.

"General Wu, the silver taels obtained by Geng Bingwen from the people's fat and people's ointment were personally received by Yang Chengde?"

Liang asked, turned to Wu Zhongyun.

Wu Zhongyun shook his head: "No, Geng Bingwen is just one of the channels through which Yang Chengde accepts bribes." ”

"In this case, then confiscate all of Geng Bingwen's family property and serve as the military salary for this northern expedition!"

After scolding Geng Bingwen, Liang Wendao immediately ordered all of Geng Bingwen's family property to be confiscated and used as military pay for the Northern Expedition.

Over the years, Geng Bingwen has obtained tens of millions of taels of silver from looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and these money are enough for the Liang Empire to conquer the Xiongnu for three years.

With Geng Bingwen being taken down, those officials who were originally on Yang Chengde's side were all like burning their butts at this time, and they no longer dared to have any luck.

After a turmoil, the Great Liang Empire was completely transformed, and Liang Wendao truly grasped the supreme power of the empire.

Three days later, the Huns attacked!

Jiming Pass, an important town in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Liang Empire, was broken by the Xiongnu, and the defender Wang Ting led his troops to resist desperately, and finally sacrificed his life for the country because of the great disparity in strength.

Jiming Pass was lost, and there was no barrier in the north of the Great Liang Empire, and the Xiongnu iron cavalry drove straight into Yunzhong County.

Yunzhong County is one of the richest areas of the Great Liang Empire, and it is also the granary of the empire.

In the court.

"The old minister implores His Majesty to give the order to go on the expedition, and the old minister is willing to make a military order, and he will not return the Huns if he does not break them!"

Wu Zhongyun knelt on one knee and said loyally.

The reason why the Huns knocked on the pass, and the reason why they were able to break through the Jiming Pass so quickly was because Yang Chengde, a bastard, actually led the party, and now the people of the government and the opposition are in turmoil.

And Wu Zhongyun also understood that if he wanted to calm this turmoil, he had to have a victory.

Only in this way can those with bad intentions be silenced completely.

"Wu Aiqing, although you have rich combat experience, this battle is very important, and I must think long-term!"

Liang Wenwen frowned, his face full of worry.

The civil and military officials in the court were all silent, and they were waiting for Liang to ask for the next speech.

But they were more inclined to Liang Daodao and then continue to wait, it is best to wait until the Xiongnu invade Yunzhong County, and send troops at that juncture, they will definitely be able to kill with one blow!

"Report!"

At this moment, a messenger rushed into the court, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, according to reliable information, the Xiongnu have come to Yunzhong County!" ”

"What?"

Liang Wenteng stood up suddenly: "The Huns have already hit the clouds?" ”

The messenger's face was anxious: "Your Majesty, the news of the subordinate generals has just been received, according to the report of the spies, the 80,000 iron cavalry of the Huns have surrounded Yunzhong County, and their next target is Yunzhong County!" ”

Hearing this, Liang Wendao's face instantly became gloomy.

Yunzhong County is very important to the Great Liang Empire, and if it loses Yunzhong County, the Great Liang Empire will undoubtedly lose half of the country.

"Your Majesty, it is imperative that we immediately send reinforcements to Yunzhong County to support!"

Wu Zhongyun stood up and said loudly: "The old minister recommends the former general of Northern Xinjiang to meet the spring!" ”

"Chang Yu Chun?"

The often defeated general that Wu Zhongyun said was none other than Chang Yuchun, the former number one general of the Great Liang Empire.

Chang Yuchun has been living in seclusion in the countryside since he was demoted to a commoner by Yang Chengde, and although he no longer leads troops to fight over the years, he often goes out to travel.

If you talk about leading troops to fight, Chang Yuchun may not be a top general, but when it comes to fighting the Huns, Chang Yuchun has this uniqueness.

Liang Wendao had a relationship with Chang Yuchun, and he still had a good impression of this very characteristic general, and immediately said: "Spread the decree, announce that Chang Yuchun will enter Beijing immediately!" ”

Chang Yuchun did not dare to slack off in the slightest after receiving the holy decree, and rushed back to the capital under the stars.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to make a military order, only five thousand elites, the last general can defeat the Huns within half a day!"

Although Chang Yuchun lived in seclusion in the countryside, he still heard of the invasion of the Great Liang Empire by the Xiongnu iron cavalry.

Now the people of the Great Liang Empire are panicking, and he often wants to lead troops to go out again in the spring.

"It's up to you! But 5,000 is too little, I will give you 50,000, and at the same time, I will also drive the expedition and follow behind you, not only to drive the Huns away, but also to enter their grassland! ”

Liang Wendao's decision undoubtedly surprised the civil and military officials in the court, but at the same time, it also encouraged Chang Yuchun.

50,000 elites, although not enough to compete head-on with the Hun iron cavalry on the grassland, but if the tactics are right, it is not impossible to defeat the Huns.

What's more, this battle was also followed by Emperor Liang Wendao himself, with the emperor's protection, then the defeat of the Xiongnu is just around the corner!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chang Yuchun knelt on one knee, thanked Liang and asked.

"General Chang, when you go to the Hun grassland, remember to be careful!"

Liang Wenwen clenched his long sword and said loudly: "I have ordered someone to bring your old mother into the capital, if you can return victorious in this battle, I will personally hold an 80th birthday for your mother!" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general will definitely go all out!"

Chang Yuchun's eyes were slightly red, and his mother had been living in the countryside since he was demoted to a concubine by Yang Chengde.

Although he has lived a leisurely life over the years, Chang Yuchun is still very eager to return to the capital to reunite with his family.

Now that his mother is able to return to live in the capital, it is undoubtedly a great joy for him.
