The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1389
Inside the house, there was a long silence.

Turandot bent down at some point, leaned lightly on Zhao Dongting's shoulder, and murmured: "Then what the emperor promised his concubine...is it still counting?"

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "Naturally."

Some palace guards followed the Xuanzhi eunuchs out of the palace.

On this day, Li Yinan, the Yuan ambassador, and Qi Hongda, the envoy to the Song Dynasty, were expelled from Changsha.

The residence of the Yuan ambassador to the Song Dynasty was closed.

After hearing the news, the people in Changsha rushed to the front street of the palace and kowtowed to the palace.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

The Dali Forbidden Army is still on its way to the border of central Shu.

In the territory of Xixia, Shi Kaiji, Marshal of Central Shu, led an army to the north, getting closer and closer to Zhongxing Mansion.

The Great Xia Army felt the urgency of the situation, and launched fierce attacks on the Zhongxing Mansion again and again.

The soldiers of both sides suffered countless losses.

After the empress was injured, she still went to the army in person every time of battle.Leading the Xixia defenders and the Daxia army to fight bravely.

Every night, there are raging flames in Zhongxing Mansion.

But the remains of those soldiers seemed to be burned forever.

Some of the corpses in the city had just been burned tonight, and more corpses would be filled in tomorrow.

New corpses and old bones piled on top of each other, it was horrific.

There was already a stench permeating the city.

If it wasn't covered by the strong smell of gunpowder smoke, the smell alone would be enough to make people sick.

Luo Tuo and Chen Yidao did not fight each other easily, but Xixia and Daxia's Jianghu priests with both hands often appeared in the army, catching each other and fighting each other.

In this tough battle that is destined to be famous through the ages, real martial arts experts are far from rare.Almost as long as there is a war between the two sides, there will be real martial arts experts participating in the battle.

The Tingchao Mansion, which Zhongsun Qifu and others managed to accumulate at the beginning, was also a well-known and powerful force in the Jianghu, with countless masters, but now, there are almost no casualties.

After this battle, regardless of whether they win or lose, it is impossible to avoid the decline of Xixia's national power for decades.

During this process, there are countless scenes that make people cry, and countless heroes who are desperate for the country and the people pass by like comets.

But there are too many such pictures and such people, and it makes people numb.

Few people can leave their names, and often, they all die quietly.

Even those who are strong in the real martial arts realm, after fighting with their opponents and passing away, falling into the crowd, they often can't even find a whole body.

Inside the worship hall of the Zhongxing Mansion’s Imperial Palace, it was dimly lit with green lights and yellow candles, and there were hundreds of spiritual seats looming.

This is a powerful force that can stir up bloody storms in the rivers and lakes, but in the confrontation between the two countries, the power they displayed is far from being magnificent.

The frontier of Huainan East Road in the Song Dynasty.

After Su Quandang led the Tiangang Army and the Jiankang Mansion garrison to capture Xuyi Pass, he rested for two days, and now he finally planned to march towards Sizhou City.

Wen Qi had been attacking Xuyi Pass for a long time before, and all the troops of the Jiankang Military Region were gathering again. Although Su Quandang led the [-] Jiankang Mansion garrison troops to arrive, they did not give up the territory of Shandong East Road and Shanxi East Road. The Yuan army caused too much deterrence.They thought that with the strength of Xuyiguan and Sizhou City, even if Su Quandang led the garrison to arrive, it would not be easy to break through Sizhou City.Therefore, although they are also mobilizing the army to rush to Sizhou, they are not in such a hurry, it seems a bit unhurried.

Today, Su Quandang quickly captured Xuyi Pass, which can be said to have caused an uproar in the territory of Shandong East Road and Shandong East Road.

After learning that the Xuyi Pass had been breached, the two generals of the Yuan Dynasty panicked and hurriedly ordered all the troops to rush to Sizhou City, but this was not something that could be done in three or two days.

So until now Su Quandang led the army to march into Sizhou City, the defenders in Sizhou City are still no more than [-].

It was only in the afternoon, and the Jiankang Military Region was already under the city.

In the battle of Xuyi Pass, Su Quandang pulled out two artillery formations with the Beidou Regiment and the Jiankang Garrison Reconnaissance Regiment, and the army blasted Xuyi Pass with grenades, and the losses were not heavy.Now leading the army to the city, the soldiers are densely packed, which can be said to make Sizhou City feel like black clouds are overwhelming the city.

In the battle of Xuyiguan, the Tiangang and Jiankang garrison lost less than [-] soldiers in total.

Su Quan stood in front of the army, remained silent, narrowed his eyes slightly, and just looked at the city of Sizhou.

Although Sizhou City is very close to Shanxi East Road and Shandong East Road, it actually belongs to the territory of Nanjing Road and is also under the jurisdiction of Nanjing Road.

Logically speaking, the Song army invaded on a large scale, and the Yuan Dynasty had to send a general in Nanjing Road to preside over the overall situation. The general is simply too busy.Therefore, Mao Xuezhen, the magistrate of Sizhou, is now in charge of resisting Song Junyi in Sizhou City.

Xue She, the general manager of Nanjing Road in the Yuan Dynasty and the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, just sent Linhuai and Huaiyin cities next to Sizhou to mobilize soldiers to Sizhou to help defend.

The original Yuan Dynasty army was roughly divided into the Mongolian Army, the Tanma Red Army, the Han Army, and the New Affiliated Army. As the name suggests, the Mongolian Army was an army composed of Mongolian iron cavalry, and it was also the direct line of the Yuan Dynasty.The Tanma Red Army and the Han Army were composed of the original Jin Dynasty surrendered army and the northern Han people. The new attached army was the surrendered army that it incorporated when it attacked the Song Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty, mainly with the Mongolian army, the Han army, and the newly attached army.

Among them, the newly attached army has almost existed in name only in the successive years of war with the Song Dynasty.Either be destroyed, or choose to vote for Song Dynasty like Lu Wenhuan.

Today's Sizhou City is full of Han troops.

It is said that the army is [-], but the treatment of the Han army is far from being comparable to that of the Mongolian army.

There are only three cities of Sizhou, Huaiyin, and Linhuai, and there is simply no way to gather [-] elites.Among them, at least [-] people are composed of militias.

At this moment, while Su Quandang squinted at the top of the city, Mao Xuezhen, the magistrate of Sizhou, was actually also looking at the bottom of the city.

In order to resist the Song army, the elite of his generals were sent to Xuyi Pass.Today, most of the more than [-] defenders in Sizhou City are militiamen.

These militiamen don't even have dragon guns, they don't even have standard knives and guns.

It is almost impossible for them to block the Great Song Army Front.

"Ugh……"

Seeing the high morale in the city, all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty with their heads held high, Mao Xuezhen shook his head suddenly and sighed softly.

He just saw the expressions of the soldiers around him, looked at their slightly pale faces, and knew in his heart that it was difficult to save Sizhou City.

But although he is a Han Chinese, he grew up under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.Ask him to lead people out of the city to beg for peace, he can't do it.

Knowing that you must die, you will do it.

After sighing softly, Mao Xuezhen pulled out his sword from his waist, raised it up and shouted: "All officers and men, cheer up this officer and prepare to fight to the death!"

Around him, the expressions of the generals changed slightly, but in the end, they all drew their weapons.

Maoxue is really a good official, and he has prestige among them.

The sound of killing spread to the city.

Under the city, Su Quan suddenly raised his silver gun.

In the army, more than a thousand soldiers who had been stripped of their armor were brought to the front of the army.These are the soldiers in Xuyi Pass.

Su Quandang yelled at the top of the wall: "Master Mao, now Sizhou is over, why bother to resist?"

Mao Xuezhen had an angry look on his face, "Su Quandang, you, what do you mean?"

He only thought that Su Quandang was going to use the lives of these soldiers to threaten him to surrender in Kaesong.If this is the case, then Su Quandang is too despicable.

Immediately afterwards, Su Quandang's voice sounded again, "You and I are both Han Chinese, and the Yuan Dynasty had no way. Why don't Lord Mao abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and vote for me in the Song Dynasty? As long as you lead the soldiers in the city to surrender, Quandang will not harm the officials and soldiers in the city! How about reporting to the emperor so that you can continue to benefit the people?"

Chengtou Maoxue was really in a daze.

The Song army treated the captives and the people kindly, which has long been known throughout the world.He knew that Su Quandang's words were not fake.

It is impossible to say that there is no emotion.

Mao Xuezhen has been working in Sizhou since he became an official.For Sizhou, he has invested a lot of energy and affection, and he never wants to see the people in Sizhou die.

If you surrender, you can save the people from suffering.

And if they resist stubbornly, even if the Song army does not harm the people, many people will always be affected by Chiyu.

But...he was a courtier of the Yuan Dynasty.

In this era, it is the belief in the hearts of many scholars to eat the king's salary and share the worries for the king.
