This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 691 Broken Heart ([-])

In April, Xuandemen is the capital of gods.

In April, the gods are in full bloom, and spring comes again, and the willows are floating in the catkins, and the city is soaked in green.

In the distance, a black-armored cavalry galloped over, passed through the Xuande Gate, and charged into the capital of God.

"Good news from Xizhou, good news from Xizhou!"

The horseshoes were flying, and the black armored cavalry shouted loudly. The voice under the ghost mask was extremely loud, piercing through the city gate, and echoing on the streets of Shendu City.

On both sides of the street, there are people who eat melons in surprise. The civilians are okay and don't understand what the "Xizhou Victory News" means, but the warriors above the rivers and lakes are well-informed, and their expressions change drastically when they hear the words.

In the wine shop, a young martial artist used lightness kung fu, stepped out of the wine shop, clasped his fists and asked, "Brother, can you tell us what the good news is?"

His voice rolled away, mixed with a trace of inner strength, obviously a master of strength in cultivation.

The black-armored cavalry didn't give a shit, they rode fast horses and yelled: "The general who conquered the west, Su Chao Yongzhou, defeated the Red Dragon Army and beheaded more than ten thousand!"

The Red Dragon Army was defeated?And cut off more than ten thousand heads in one breath?

The warriors in Jianghu were all taken aback. Didn't they say that they were chased away by the Red Dragon Army before, and they almost gave their lives in Xizhou?Why did the blood reappear in an instant?He also defeated the Red Dragon Army, which was the most elite army under Tao Mingwen's command. In the past few years, he had traveled thousands of miles across the western states without defeat. Tao Mingwen also defeated the former Jinwu Guard General with the bravery of the Red Dragon Army Yan Da, that Yan Da is the strongest martial artist of the Yan clan, he has cultivated to the second rank.

"The Red Dragon Army was defeated and more than ten thousand beheaded. The battle in Xizhou went smoothly!"

Soon, the news spread throughout the entire capital of God like a kite with wings.

Whether it is a martial artist or a commoner in Shendu, because of the previous changes and turmoil, the business of the entire Shendu has been damaged. Although wine shops, gambling houses, brothels and other places have gradually begun to pick up, the consumption enthusiasm of ordinary people is still not very high. It is still in a stable wait-and-see state.

Of course, once such a major military event involving everyone is disclosed, it can still attract a lot of attention.

The young martial artist from the rivers and lakes returned to the restaurant, and the three or five friends in the restaurant were amazed: "It's incredible, I heard my uncle talk about it some time ago, and the Su Dynasty has lost consecutive battles, and I don't know that it was defeated by Tao Mingwen." How many times, even if the defense line is unstable, they may retreat to Xiguan, but I didn't expect the news of Xizhou's great victory to come today."

"Who said it wasn't? I heard that General Cao Su was very angry. Because the Su Dynasty was unfavorable in the war, he specially dispatched General Heng Xuesong to guard Xiguan. He is ready to take over from Su Dynasty at any time and clean up the mess in Xizhou."

"Hey, I heard before that this Su Chaowen is a martial artist who suddenly appeared. Although his personal martial arts are quite strong, he has never led troops to fight."

A few people talked about it, and after the young man sat down, the friends around him said: "Brother Fu, your father is the minister of the military department of the dynasty, and you should know the war in Xizhou the best, right?"

The son of the Fu family shook his head silently when he heard the words: "Although my father is the Minister of the Ministry of War, the six departments of the imperial court are no longer what they used to be. Father's power in the Ministry of War is limited to ordinary matters such as checking the number of soldiers and deploying ordnance, and discussing specific wars in Xizhou , it is all handled by the Minister of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and my father may occasionally have the opportunity to attend the meeting."

The reform of the imperial court organization has also been a vigorous event in recent months.

The bureaucracy headed by General Cao Su carried out reforms from top to bottom. Among them, there was a vacancy for the "left and right prime ministers". , every auxiliary minister in the cabinet is a first-class boss, and his power is not the same as before.

"It's said that the general didn't know people well, yet he actually made a white-faced scholar handsome. I didn't expect everyone to see it wrong. This Su Chao is a first-class famous general. Now that the Red Dragon Army has been defeated, Tao Mingwen's men are the most powerful. Now that the main force is gone, then the battle in Xizhou will probably end soon."

"Who said it wasn't? At first I thought Xizhou soldiers were brave and good at fighting, but the soldiers led by Su Chao were all forbidden troops from the capital of the gods. Although they can be considered brave, they are far behind Xizhou soldiers, so comparing the two, There may be a stalemate for a long time, but I didn't expect such a major turning point in the past, and I'm afraid it won't be long before Xizhou will be pacified."

Several warriors are very young, talking about the war between Korea and China.

Since Cao Su withdrew and merged with the Gongwei Division, Shendu has opened up a wide range of speeches. In the streets and alleys of Shendu, ordinary civilians can also talk about the affairs of the court without being arrested by the Gongwei Division.

Everyone said that under such an atmosphere, the gods were a little less hostile than before.

The black-armored cavalry galloped proudly, holding the dragon flag and the gold medal, all the way from Xuande Gate, through the cities of Shendu, and soon arrived in front of the imperial city.

In the imperial city, all the courtiers who got the news were invited to the hall.

And Cao Su stood in the center of the hall with the presence of the old god. He was tall, half a head taller than many courtiers, and his body was burly. Looking down, he gave people a strong pressure.

"Western State Victory."

"A few days ago, Su Chao, the general who conquered the west, led [-] forbidden troops and set up an ambush in Yongzhou. They defeated the Red Dragon Army at leisure, beheaded more than [-] people, captured more than [-] horses, and countless weapons, supplies, and food."

Cao Su will read the battle report obtained in the hall.

As his voice fell, the entire court fell silent, and all the veterans looked at Cao Su and the battle report in his hand in disbelief.

Su Chao would definitely not resort to deceit, this kind of thing cannot be faked, otherwise once the Xizhou soldiers attacked Xiguan, everything would be self-defeating.

If it is true, this is too amazing, isn't it a losing streak before?Why did he win again all of a sudden?

"Everyone, Tao Mingwen's Red Dragon Army has been defeated, and the battle in Xizhou has turned the tide. In the next few months, we will encircle and suppress the rebellious army in Xizhou and pacify the land of Xizhou."

Cao Su stood on the steps a few steps higher than the others, blocked the emperor, and looked down at the many courtiers.

Wen You behind him, although he was wearing a dragon robe, was pale, his lips were dry, his eyes were red under his thin face, and the palm of his hand holding the dragon chair was covered with veins like earthworms.

In the eyes of many courtiers, only Cao Su was left, because Cao Su was tall and blocked everyone's sight.

Cao Su glanced at Feng Yuchan, Li Rang and others. These old officials are silent now. When the Su Dynasty retreated, they were very active in finding faults. Now?
He was overjoyed in his heart, and deliberately ordered Feng Yuchan's name with a solemn expression: "Feng Situ, what do you think about the defeat of the Red Dragon Army by the Su Dynasty?"

Feng Yuchan raised his head and looked at Cao Su. After being named, he had no choice but to stand out from the group of ministers, and said in a deep thought: "This old man thought that Shuai Su could be put to death and come back to life, reversing the previous unfavorable situation in one fell swoop. , proves that he is indeed a capable general, but now that the people of the Su Dynasty are in Xizhou, it is not easy to give more rewards, it is better to write down the credit first, and reward Su Shuai when he returns to the court."

Feng Yuchan directly talked about the matter of rewards, punishment for mistakes, and rewards for meritorious deeds. Compared with what he said before, Cao Su felt quite satisfied after listening to his speech.

Seeing that Cao Su's expression had softened, he couldn't help but feel relieved, knowing that he had passed the test.

On the other side, Jiang Qi, Minister of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, said: "The previous [-] troops of the Su Dynasty were broken into pieces and divided into several groups to find Tao Mingwen's main force in Xizhou. The core of the Red Dragon Army has only thousands of soldiers. People, Su Chao beheaded more than [-] people, which proves that he has begun to oppress the living space of the rebel army, and I am afraid that there will be large-scale military operations in the future, and we also need to continue to do a good job in food road protection and other work."

Fighting in Xizhou, the biggest problem is the problem of food supply.

The imperial court is not a rebellious army. The rebellious army has no food and can grab it, but the imperial court can only replenish it through the grain road and rely on strong logistics to supply itself. This also restricts the imperial court to pacify Xizhou to a certain extent. ability.

Cao Su nodded: "The Red Dragon Army was defeated, and Tao Mingwen may fight back, that is, a strong counterattack. If I were Su Chao, I would definitely shrink the line of defense and continue to wait for Tao Mingwen to make mistakes."

"It shouldn't be possible to go deep alone, but if Tao Mingwen is eager to find a decisive battle in the Soviet Union, that is the way to destroy it."

Wei Kai also opened his mouth. Su Chao's methods always made him feel a little familiar. He suddenly remembered that Su Chao was Cao Su's fellow apprentice. No wonder the two marched in such a similar style. This kind of show the enemy weak, and then attack strongly The method is not clever, but it is enough to deal with these chaotic situations that have not learned the art of war.

Wei Kai really didn't understand, he didn't know how Yan Da was defeated back then.

Cao Su looked at the many courtiers and said calmly: "If Xizhou is calmed down, then it will be the most stable time for the development of Shendu. After you go back, you should think about how to use this time to develop Shendu well. I hope that the next court meeting will At that time, each of the ministers has his own plan, planning what to do in the next step, and what effect he wants to achieve."

Cao Su issued a plan task to a group of courtiers, asking everyone to brainstorm.

Many courtiers were stunned, they did not expect to receive such a task in the last court meeting.

Li Rang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly asked: "General, this is."

Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Considering the time constraints, I will select one or two outstanding representatives to speak. Others can report in written materials before they have time to speak. After the meeting, the ministers will borrow and learn from each other."

Need a written report?

Even the faces of several ministers in the Military Aircraft Pavilion changed, but Cao Su said with a smile: "I will read every plan carefully. You are all ministers of the imperial court. Please show some real skills."

This is very serious, Cao Su's test of everyone has directly risen to the stage of ability test.

Many ministers wanted to say something, but Cao Su stopped him with his eyes. Cao Su didn't ask the emperor behind him for instructions, and directly ordered: "Today's court meeting will end here, and the meeting will be adjourned."
-
With the great victory in Xizhou, the whole god was overwhelmed by the joy of the battle.

There are rumors from people in the neighborhood that rumors spread from one to the other. Some people say that the reason why Su Chao was able to defeat Tao Mingwen's Red Dragon Army was because Su Chao was the descendant of an ancient Qi refiner who was good at sowing beans into successors. Although the Red Dragon Army was brave, they accidentally stepped into the formation of the Su Dynasty and were trapped by the formation of the Su Dynasty and the golden warriors. In the end, none of them survived, and they were defeated.

The news always spread more and more outrageous. The aftereffect of spreading the word is that everyone may become a source of news. All kinds of news are like snowflakes, sprinkled on the city of God.

Feng Yuchan who returned to the Feng Mansion was unhappy, and felt more and more dark in the court.

Now that Xizhou is going to be pacified, once Xizhou is pacified, with Cao Su's previous military exploits and prestige, he will almost certainly be named a prince.

Yan Wang, it must be Yan Wang, his ambition is ready to come out, and there is not much time left for him.

After Feng Yuchan went back to the inner hall to look for Feng Huaner, he held another banquet today.

For this banquet, Feng Yuchan not only invited many of his old friends, but also specially invited the newly promoted Captain of the Habayashi Army——Sima Changfeng. After successfully becoming an official, as Sima Changfeng took up an important position in the imperial city, Sima Changfeng's status in the family also increased, and his whole person became more graceful and unrestrained.

With the blessing of his official position, Sima Changfeng stepped into the officialdom from a white body. He hadn't stepped into this field for decades in the early years. Now he finally got his wish and gradually escaped from the family's confinement.

Therefore, Sima Changfeng respected Feng Yuchan very much.

Feng Yuchan personally invited him, and he, like many veteran ministers, stepped into the Feng mansion and made a special trip to attend the banquet.

Just outside the Fengfu, a luxurious carriage slowly drove in. Two red lanterns were hung on the frame of the carriage. After the curtain was lifted, the nobleman, supported by the steward of the Fengfu, walked leisurely. Into the Fengfu.

"Zhongjin, why is he here?"

Everyone's eyes narrowed slightly.

Zhong Jin is the youngest among the ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and he is only in his 30s this year. He has already stepped into the Military Aircraft Pavilion as an assistant minister at such a young age. In addition, he is also a first-rank university scholar of the imperial court. He is so popular purple.

It's just that Zhongjin's appearance is ugly, and it doesn't match what ordinary people call ordinary. Just looking at his appearance, ordinary people in power may not be able to accept it.

But Cao Su not only did not look down on Zhongjin because of his ugly appearance, but he obeyed his words and let him plan and deploy freely. The establishment of the former Beiwu Academy and the current Shenwu Academy has Zhongjin's shadow behind it.

But Zhong Jin is a member of Cao Su, why did he come to the Fengfu today? You must know that there is a faint antagonistic relationship between the current Situ Feng Yuchan and the general Cao Su.

Everyone found it strange, but Feng Situ was not surprised at all, and enthusiastically pulled Zhongjin who was at the door and walked in.

"Master Zhong is young and promising. I have long wanted to find an opportunity to communicate with Master Zhong. Today I finally have the opportunity." Feng Yuchan arranged Zhongjin at the banquet seat, and there was a gentle and calm feeling beside Zhongjin. He turned his head to look.

A handsome man raised a wine glass and made a toast to him.

"Sima Changfeng is here too?"

Zhongjin was slightly taken aback, subconsciously raised his wine glass, his mind turned, wondering what kind of banquet Situ was hosting?The composition of personnel is so complicated.
