Late at night on the third day...
Eight hundred miles hastened the journey, and the soldiers who reported the news did not dare to delay at all! I was afraid that the good news would be half a moment too late.
and! The soldiers galloped all the way, and every time they arrived at a post station, they said: "General Ping Liao, King Dongfang Yu of Qin, defeated the Xiongnu! The army marched eight hundred miles inward until they were under the capital of Liao State, and then they withdrew."
now! In Bingzhou, the people were excited, and the hearts of Bingzhou officials quietly fell to the ground. no way! It was almost a nationwide resistance war. In order to win the Northern Expedition, Emperor Xuanwu spent almost half of Dawu's savings.
How many people are displaced and homeless! That day! After hearing the news that General Liu Wenlong had died in battle, Dawu's pillar of rule collapsed without warning. The people and officials in these border areas are in trouble.
Many people have packed up their things and moved towards Yunzhou, Qingzhou, Dengzhou and other places, and! The most incredible thing is that Beiliang under Dongfang Yu's rule actually experienced a huge population expansion.
Nearly one million refugees have moved to Beiliang! After seeing that the people of Beiliang were living well and prosperous, they just refused to leave. and! Some gangsters mixed in the crowd, seeing the advantage, actually started to rebel, and went north to attack the people, attacking and robbing them.
But they didn't know the rules laid out by His Highness the King of Qin in Beiliang. No one can destroy the life in Beiliang. Tian Ping directly transferred Li Jing, Li Xiaozhi, and Wei Hu back, and! The 10,000 forbidden troops guarding Qin County were also transferred back.
Sent directly to local areas for management and resettlement of refugees. and! Several unruly people who took the lead in robbing food were directly sentenced to death as a deterrent.
No! The reputation of the Qin army for its bravery is now on! Everyone knows that among these ordinary people, who dares to take the lead in revolt, they can only pathetically obey the arrangements.
After meeting so many refugees, even Tian Ping felt a little troubled and at a loss.
He wanted to build a city, but because he couldn't get Dongfang Yu's approval, he didn't do it. We can only feed this group of people in vain every day, setting up shops and providing porridge.
Dongfang Yu, on the other hand, only said one sentence, Cheng Visible, he wanted to live, but he couldn't give it in vain.
This world! There is no free lunch.
Tian Ping immediately understood that building a new city requires coolies, and where are these coolies! Just recruit from these millions of refugees.
One: Those who participate in the construction of the new city can take care of three meals a day and receive labor wages, that’s it! This indirectly made the refugees excited, not only solving the confusion of the coolies, but also indirectly solving the problem of wasted food.
Are these millions of refugees? If they were given free food and shelter like this, even Beiliang would be destroyed. Beiliang couldn't afford it, so Dongfang Yu could only write a letter to force him out.
Second: Those who participate in the construction of the new city have priority in choosing the right to live in the new city, that’s it! This further aroused the enthusiasm of refugees to build cities.
Outside the Guan Pass…
"drive!"
hiss!
At this time, there was a curfew in Wogguan, the city gate was closed, and soldiers stood on horseback.
Ahead of the Weiguan Pass, the guards on duty shouted loudly, "Soldiers on the city, I am rushing from the front line 800 miles away to send a special report back to the capital."
What!
Good news?
The soldiers guarding the city wiped the helmets on their heads and suddenly woke up as if from a dream when they heard someone calling from below.
"Good news from the front line!" The soldier was stunned, and immediately! He was suddenly overjoyed and said immediately: "Brother, thank you for your hard work. I will ask someone to open the city gate right now."
"Let go!"
The soldiers guarding the city shouted.
Immediately he ordered the soldiers next to him, "Hurry up and ask General Guo Deng to tell you that there is good news from the front!"
"promise!"
After receiving the order, the soldier ran away without stopping.
Good news! Now that the good news is coming, doesn't it mean that there is a big victory in the northern battlefield?
Naturally, the Eight Hundred Mile Express was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
hiss!
"What are you doing? This is the victory report prepared by the King of Qin. Why do you stop me?" Xiao Bing was puzzled.
But one of them, who had the rank of general, replied: "Little brother, you don't know something! Your Majesty has ordered that all news sent back from the front line must be personally escorted by General Guo Deng before returning to the palace."
no way! Liu Wenwen's words completely awakened Emperor Xuanwu, Wang Mingzhang and other ministers. perhaps! What Liu Wenwen said was not wrong at all. It is not impossible for a few traitors to emerge in this huge Kyoto.
Then! Emperor Xuanwu issued an order. Before the end of the Northern Expedition, all ministers in the court, as well as the prince and three princes, must accept supervision.
No! Memorials sent back to the palace were personally escorted by Emperor Xuanwu's cronies.
oh!
Only then did Xiao Bing understand.
At this time! General Guo Deng of Xiaoguan also put on his armor and walked over in a swaggering manner accompanied by several lieutenants.
As soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to ask: "Little brother! How is the situation on the front line? Marshal Ping Liao, how are you?"
As a powerful general who protects the country, he and Guo Yi both want to go to the front line and serve the country. now! Since the death of the general, what he was most concerned about was the battle situation on the front line.
The soldier fell off his horse, his feet seemed to stagger a little, but he still said: "General, don't worry! Marshal Ping Liao has won a great victory in the north, defeated the Liao army, and wiped out countless enemies. There are millions of Liao soldiers, but now there are only more than 300,000 left."
These more than 300,000 troops include the 100,000 troops stationed in Lincheng and Wanyan's 50,000 troops. certainly! A lot of soldiers and horses were recruited in Lincheng today. The Liao army, which seemed to be almost finished, still had more than 400,000 troops.
If Dawu hadn't fought against Daliao for more than seven months at this time, which had consumed all the strength of the country, it would have been almost impossible to attack Lincheng.
and! The Qin army suffered heavy losses and it is difficult to fight again. This battle! Although they captured a large area of land in Daliao, the battle could only end in a hurry. In other words, within ten years, there will definitely be another war between the Wu Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom.
so! This large area of land conquered by the Liao Kingdom cannot be defended by the Wu Kingdom alone. If it is handed over to Beiyan and Wuhuan, it can form a situation of mutual restraint. after all! The current Liao Kingdom is also an elephant that can trample people to death.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"The war that has been going on for more than half a year is finally over. Your Majesty can finally feel at ease."
"Hahaha~ King Qin is the savior sent by God to Dawu!"
Unknowingly, the heart of this general from Weiguan was already leaning towards Dongfang Yu.
"Little brother, don't be anxious. The imperial capital is right in front of you. It will arrive in half an hour. At this time, the palace has a curfew. Little brother has been working hard. He has to go to Xiaoguan first to have a good meal and refresh himself. After five o'clock, I will escort the little brother. Enter Beijing." Guo Deng said.
There was unconcealable joy in his words.
Xiaobing thought for a while and then agreed.
After having enough wine and food, we rested for a while!
Five o'clock in the morning!
As promised, Guo Deng escorted Xiaobing back to Beijing safely.
