"Dad, do you really know how to fight?"
Hearing his father say this, Fubao was really confused. She just doesn't understand, can't these people live a good life
In other words, isn’t it good to live
In war, people will die.
This calamity path was the state religion of the previous dynasty, which had been destroyed for hundreds of years. The royal family of the previous dynasty probably didn’t want to bother with it anymore, so why can this path of calamity be so easy to mess with
"meeting!"
Mr. Xu touched Fu Bao's head and sighed.
Fu Bao was silent. She was not a white lotus, and she never wanted to be a savior. However, she wanted to live a peaceful life. If someone really rebels, the war is just the beginning.
Thinking of the locust plague nightmare she had before, Fu Bao felt that the delicious roast chicken in her hand was no longer so fragrant.
"Dad, can the Luck-Jie Dao come true?"
"possible!"
Mr. Xu thought of the methods used to rob the fortune, and then thought of the behavior of the current court, and nodded.
"Then, will it hit us?"
Fu Bao asked again.
This time, it was Mr. Xu's turn to be silent.
"Dad doesn't know!"
Why did Mr. Xu agree with Mr. Xu and the others' layout of Kun County? It was because, like Fubao, he was worried that the chaos in the world would spread here. At that time, he didn't know that Jie Yun Dao was going to rebel.
At that time, he just considered that another disaster was about to happen, and there would be a catastrophe under the catastrophe.
When he later learned about the little tricks of the Luck-Jie Dao in Jiangling City, Mr. Xu understood that chaos in the world was inevitable.
In the path of luck, there are various magical means, although they all benefit oneself at the expense of others. However, the methods used by the Jie Luck Dao to confuse people's minds are still first-rate even without these methods of benefiting oneself at the expense of others.
When a major disaster strikes, if Jie Luck Dao has food in his hands, he can easily plunder the people's hearts.
…
Knowing why his father pretended to be ill, Fu Bao knew that his good days would soon come to an end.
However, what Mr. Xu didn't expect was that before the Jie Luck Road raised its flag of rebellion, something happened to the north first.
The northern barbarians invaded the south and attacked Huangfengkou Pass at night.
Because of the cold weather, the soldiers guarding Huangfengkou all huddled in their houses to warm themselves by the fire, and did not notice the Beiman stealing the city. When they found out that the Beiman had stolen the city, the gate of Huangfengkou Pass had been opened, and the Beiman Entering the Yellow Wind.
The northern barbarians entered the city and massacred it.
All members of Huangfengkou's army died in battle, from the school captain Guanting down.
Of course, despite their desperate efforts, the defenders at Huangfengkou still lit the beacon fire.
It is a pity that the soldiers stationed at the beacon tower did not see the beacon fire in the dark night. They also warmed themselves by the fire in the house to avoid the cold.
It was not until dawn that the Northern Barbarian armies scattered and looted, and the smoke of the wolf smoke continued to rise.
When the Northern Barbarians entered Longxi Mansion, smoke was everywhere and people fled in an endless stream.
The northwest town army guarding Longxi Mansion immediately sent troops to intercept.
However, the Northern Barbarian army did not engage in battle, but mainly looted and continued to fight with the northwest army.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Yongping and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all stunned.
Just last fall, the Northern Barbarians suffered a disastrous defeat. It was just the beginning of spring, so why are the Northern Barbarians here again
"Tell me everything!"
Emperor Yongping sat on the dragon chair and looked coldly at the civil servants and generals in Qiantian Hall.
This time the Northern Barbarians invaded the South, but no news came beforehand. This is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing.
The Northern Barbarians and the Tang Dynasty have been enemies for generations.
Under normal circumstances, Datang had always had sentinels lurking in the Northern Barbarians, always relaying military information from the Northern Barbarians. But this time, no news came back about the northern barbarian invasion from the south. How could Emperor Yongping not be angry
But now is not the time to hold people accountable.
The most important thing at the moment is to drive the Northern Barbarians out of Longxi Mansion.
"Your Majesty, the Northwest Army has sufficient troops and horses. I believe that since the Northern Barbarians were defeated last year, this attack is not a cause for concern!"
"I invite you to fight!"
The one who stood out from the crowd was Xu Yan, Duke of Changle.
If it were in the past, Changle Gong Xu Yan would never have been in such limelight. After all, the three men of the Xu family have already reached the limit of their merits. If they have any meritorious deeds, they will probably be unable to be sealed, and they will inevitably end up with a master who has great achievements.
But things are different now.
The Xu Mansion needs military exploits to prove their worth.
"Your Majesty, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? I'm a little thief from the Northern Barbarians. I also invite you to fight!"
This time it was Qin Yu, the general of Yulin, who stood up.
After last year's battle with the Northern Barbarians, Mr. Xu and the others obtained a large number of Northern Barbarian war horses, which increased the number of cavalry in the northwest town army.
In today's Tang Dynasty, the number of cavalry is not much less than that of the Northern Barbarians.
Coupled with Datang's equipment advantage, even if it proves to be a hedge against the Northern Barbarian cavalry, this battle will be won.
This is a must-win counterattack!
Among the generals and nobles, there are certainly those who live without food and rely on the shadow of their ancestors, but there are also some who have some brains and vision.
As Xu Yan and Qin Yu stepped forward one after another, nobles one after another expressed their willingness to share Emperor Yongping's worries and requested to fight.
Even Xu Shuo, Duke Dingguo, who was treated like a dog by the eldest princess, also stood up at this moment.
Of course, not only the nobles and generals are vying to go to war, but also the princes are also vying for the opportunity to go out.
Emperor Yongping, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was not a fool. When he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly had another idea in his mind.
That is, the imperial commander personally conquers!
Last year, he wanted to lead the expedition in person, but the thirty-sixth guard of the North and South Second Battalions were unable to be used, and in the end he had to slap himself in the face.
But in this situation, it is obvious that the opportunity has come!
Emperor Yongping gently raised his hand and waved it down, and the commotion in the court room instantly fell silent.
"The Northern Barbarians have repeatedly invaded our Tang Dynasty, and their evil intentions will never die. I am determined to conquer the Northern Barbarians myself and quell the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop!"
"You three, Duke Changle, Duke Yong'an, and Duke Dingguo, go immediately to reorganize the northern and southern camps and select twelve guards and horses. In three days, I will lead the expedition myself!"
"Retreat!"
At this point, Emperor Yongping suddenly stood up and swept past the civil and military ministers standing in the Qiantian Hall with great power. The posture of his words was truly the power of an emperor.
In an instant, all the civil and military officials in Qiantian Hall bowed their heads.
…
Lingshui Village, old Xu's family.
Shen Wansheng, the prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture, was sitting across from Mr. Xu, both of whom had solemn expressions.
The Northern Barbarians are here again and are wreaking havoc in Longxi Mansion. Although the northwest town army has sufficient troops, they are still short of manpower and stretched when faced with the Northern Barbarian cavalry who are divided into small groups and plundering in all directions.
There were even some Northern Barbarian cavalry coming towards Xiangyi Prefecture. Fortunately, Shen Wansheng was prepared and intercepted these Northern Barbarian cavalry on the way. Otherwise, Xiangyi Prefecture would also suffer a military disaster.
"Brother, do you really not care?"
Shen Wansheng came here to ask Mr. Xu to help turn the tide.
"I can't control it!"
Mr. Xu smiled bitterly, "The Northern Barbarians are scattered. Without ten times the force to drive them away, it will be useless for anyone to go!" (End of Chapter)
