Chapter 45: The Pursuit

The crowd responded in unison, and then began to search the surroundings.

The appearance of the forbidden army also caused other members of the Black Fire Sect to flee one after another, and they could only flee in the direction of the deep mountains.

And the number of forbidden troops was huge, and they soon discovered the traces of the Black Fire Cult.

"Chase!"

The Forbidden Army Captain snorted coldly, and then led everyone to chase in the direction where the Black Fire Sect members fled.

Soon, the Praetorian Army caught up with the members of the Black Fire Cult.

"Kill!"

The Forbidden Captain shouted, and then led everyone to kill him.

Although the members of the Black Fire Cult resisted bravely, the Forbidden Army was outnumbered, and they were quickly defeated.

"Take it all with me!"

The Forbidden Army Captain snorted coldly, and then had all the members of the Black Fire Sect tied up, and then escorted back to Motie City.

And in the Desert Iron City, those craftsmen also worked hard for nearly three days to finally make the first firecracker.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this firecracker?"

The old man asked respectfully, he looked at Liang and asked, his eyes full of pride.

The old man was also very proud to be the first craftsman to make a firecracker.

"Well, it looks pretty good."

Liang Wenwen looked at it carefully, and then said, "You guys did a good job, and then, according to this, make it in large quantities." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old man answered, and then retreated.

Soon, the sound of ping-pong came from the forging room of Motie City, and nearly a thousand craftsmen began to get busy non-stop, and the city lord Liang asked for someone to escort those members of the Black Fire Sect over.

"Your Majesty, what about these people?"

A Janissary Cadet walked over and asked respectfully.

"Put them all to death."

Liang Wendao said with a blank face, he would not spare the slightest hand for the members of the Black Fire Sect, because these people had already threatened his rule.

"Yes!"

The Janission Captain answered, and then had the Black Fire Cult members escorted outside the city, and then executed them all.

With the execution of the members of the Black Fire Cult, the situation in Motiecheng gradually stabilized.

Liang Wendao also returned to the dynasty as a teacher, and Chang Yuchun also killed the Xiongnu's Shan Yu and recovered all the lost territory.

It's just that because of domestic problems, the results of the war have not been able to expand to the grasslands.

After returning to the capital, Liang Wendao also summoned all the important ministers of the Great Liang State for the first time and convened an emergency court meeting.

During this meeting, Liang Wendao announced the punishment of the Black Fire Sect, and posthumously crowned Chang Yuchun as the protector of the country, in recognition of his contribution to quelling the Black Fire Sect's rebellion in Motiecheng.

At the same time, Liang Wendao also announced his decision to drive the expedition in person, send troops to the grassland, and crusade against the Xiongnu.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the grassland in person?"

Hearing Liang Wendao's decision, the important ministers were all stunned, they looked at Liang Wendao, and asked with some puzzlement.

"Yes, I'm going to go to the grassland in person, Chang Yuchun has been waiting there for a long time."

Liang asked and nodded, he said coldly: "This crusade against the Xiongnu, I want them to know that my Great Liang Kingdom is not something they can bully at will." ”

"But Your Majesty, you don't know the situation on the grassland very well, and this time the Black Fire Sect rebellion has also made the situation in the country very bad, and you are not the best time to go on the expedition now."

An old minister stepped forward and said, he was Liang Dao's teacher and one of the smartest strategists in the Great Liang Kingdom.

"Teacher, do you mean you don't support my decision?"

Liang asked lightly, looking at his teacher.

"That's not what the minister meant, it's just that the emperor, you also know the situation in the country now, although the Black Fire Sect has been pacified, but those scholars obviously won't stop there. And your identity is too important, if there is an accident, then the country will be leaderless. ”

The old minister shook his head and said, it is not that he does not support Liang Wendao's decision, but it is indeed a little inappropriate to go on the expedition at this time.

"Teacher, I understand your worries, but this matter is settled. I have already ordered the allocation of grain and grass from all over the country, and asked Chang Yuchun to gather troops on the grassland. On this expedition, I want to defeat the Huns in one fell swoop. ”

A hint of determination flashed in Liang Wendao's eyes, and he clearly knew that he was helpless to do so.

If the country is stable, he will naturally not rush to the expedition, but now that the situation is special, he must make a decision as soon as possible.

"Since the emperor has decided, let's prepare."

Lao Chen sighed, he knew that he couldn't change Liang Wendao's decision, so he could only nod and agree.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this crusade against the Xiongnu is the first large-scale military operation since the founding of our Great Liang State, and I hope you can go all out and make no mistakes."

Liang Wenwen looked at the important ministers and said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The ministers replied in unison, although they were a little worried in their hearts, but Liang's determination to ask for questions also made them helpless.

After arranging everything, Liang Wendao left the capital with the guards and headed for the grassland.

In the Desert Iron City, Chang Yuchun also waited for the news of Liang Wendao, and he was also ready to lead the garrison of the Desert Iron City to follow Liang Wendao to the grassland.

"My lord, are you really going to the grassland?"

In Chang Yuchun's handsome tent, a soldier walked in and asked.

"yes, I can't wait."

Chang Yuchun stood up, he walked back and forth a few steps, and then slammed the table and said: "This time to defeat the Huns, we must drive them all out!" ”

"But my lord, can we really win?"

Xiao Bing hesitated, but still asked the doubts in his heart.

"What? Are you scared? ”

Chang Yuchun glanced at Xiao Bing and asked lightly.

"The villain is not afraid, but after all, we have never fought with the Huns, and we don't know what the strength of the other party is."

The little soldier shook his head and said.

"It's simple, I will ask the emperor to send some forbidden troops over, let them fight the Huns first, and test the strength of the other party."
