Chapter 598 Capture of Beiliang
The incident of Beiliang's raid on the border soon spread back to the capital. In addition, Gu Wanning also received a secret letter, which was written by Li Junfeng himself. After reading it, Gu Wanning immediately went to Chaoyang Palace and handed the letter to Ye Hanyu.

"Your majesty, brother is really messed up this time, please see him for the sake of serving the country, and give him a lighter punishment."

After reading the letter, Ye Hanyu threw it on the case, and then looked at Gu Wanning, "Are you sincerely here to intercede with him? Are you sure you're not testing my mind?"

Gu Wanning burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, the concubine is indeed here to see what the emperor wants, what the senior brother said in the letter is not unreasonable, the world will be divided for a long time, it will be divided for a long time, since Beiliang has always wanted to be the master Central Plains, let them become Central Plains people, and save them from guarding them all day long.

Once Beiliang was drawn into Daxing's territory, the people on the border would no longer have to worry about wars. "

Now that Daxing's treasury is sufficient, food and grass are abundant, and there are countless elite soldiers and strong generals, it doesn't matter if this battle is dragged on for a few years.

Moreover, the senior brother wrote very clearly in the letter that he has sent scouts to investigate the situation in Beiliang in the past few years, and he is sure that he can take Beiliang within two years!
"You go back first, I have a lot of things to arrange next, and I will accompany you after I am done."

The assassination back then almost killed his father. Wasn't the old emperor in Beiliang afraid that Chu Heyu and Daxing would forget his ambition to take over the Central Plains because of his friendship with Daxing?
That's just right, he fulfilled them!Turning Beiliang into the territory of Daxing, he should die in peace.

Gu Wanning naturally knew that logistics must be ensured during the war, not only to dispatch food and grass, but also to send troops to reinforce, which general to send to the Youzhou battlefield would also require a lot of wrangling, Ye Hanyu will definitely be very busy in the days to come.

"The concubine has retired."

After saluting decently, Gu Wanning withdrew from the Chaoyang Palace. Ye Hanyu couldn't help but chuckled when she saw her appearance. This woman is used to pretending. In Kunning Palace, she has always been at ease. We are all commensurate with each other, and never salute to him, but when we come to his Chaoyang Palace, she becomes more disciplined again, she is already in her early thirties, sometimes she looks like a child, so cute and tight!

After relaxing for a while, he immediately ordered the eunuch to call the ministers into the palace to discuss business matters.

Today's Daxing is more prosperous than ten years ago. Gu Wanning has nothing to do in the harem, and sent people to set up glass workshops in every prefecture. Nowadays, people with a little wealth will buy glass when they build a brick house Installing windows, although the price of glass has dropped a lot, but because of its wide popularity, it earns more than before.

She also took advantage of the soap recipe and opened a factory in the capital. Lin Qingyin is helping her manage the soap factory. Oh, she has now been made a concubine and opened a vermicelli factory , handed over to Zhao's management.

Because sweet potatoes and potatoes have been planted on a large scale across the country, this small vermicelli factory has opened almost all over the country, providing many people with places to work.

In addition, when she has nothing to do, she uses her medical skills to create a lot of beauty prescriptions, making rouge and water powder, so that the daughters of many families can earn some money with their own hands, and the status of women has improved a lot .

And these businesses contribute a large amount of tax money to the national treasury every year, which has been accumulated for a long time, and it is not a problem at all to support the army to fight for several years.

……

In the evening, when the sun was setting, the Huotou army was busy filling out the big pot of vegetables, and the soldiers were already preparing to cook.

Ye Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead. The weather at the end of July, even in the north, is too hot to stand in front of the stove, but no matter how hot it is, he has to endure it. There are regulations in the Northern Army, and those with experience in combat The veterans go first, and the newcomers have to adapt to the army for a period of time before they can go to the battlefield, and the old, weak, sick and disabled can only be responsible for logistics supplies, so he and the Supreme Emperor have become the leaders of the army.

Of course, it was impossible for him to make the emperor's grandfather really be a firefighter, so he did the work of two people alone, and the Supreme Emperor was only responsible for pretending to be sick on one side.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor who was sitting on the exclusive rocking chair responsible for his life didn't feel any guilt at all. After Ye Xu helped with the work, he was afraid that his grandfather would be hungry, so he quickly made a bowl of porridge, took a steamed bun, and filled another bowl The stewed potatoes were brought over: "Grandfather, eat quickly. I heard them talking just now, and they may have to break camp tonight."

The Supreme Emperor immediately became interested, he sat up from the reclining chair, leaned in front of his grandson and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ye Xu lowered his voice: "It seems that General Li has won another battle in the past two days. Deputy General Zhang wants to send troops to support him, but it is too hot during the day, so he can only march at night."

The Supreme Emperor's eyes lit up.Li Junfeng has already reached Qingyuan. Qingyuan is an important city in Beiliang, about 1 miles away from Youzhou City. The two days they stayed in the barracks were not for nothing. I know that this time Li Junfeng only brought [-] people. After chasing the deserters, he reached Qingyuan City in just a few days. If he continued to fight with all his strength, he might really hit Beiliang Imperial City in one fell swoop.

The Supreme Emperor didn't know, but following Li Junfeng's letter, Ye Hanyu had already ordered General Qu Yinghe, who was stationed in the northwest, to attack Beiliang from the west. Raozhou attacked Beiliang, using a three-pronged approach, trying to win Beiliang in the shortest possible time.

That night, there was movement in the army. Li Junfeng mobilized [-] elite soldiers to march to Qingyuan overnight. Not all soldiers wanted to fight.

Taking advantage of the time after the meal, Ye Xu bribed a soldier who was about the same size as him, and sneaked into Vice General Zhang's team.

The Supreme Emperor is over 50 years old, even if he has been well maintained, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear the pain of this hasty march, so he simply sent the dark guard to his grandson, and he left the army and took Li Changhai and Jia Si Jia Wu to hire a carriage. I rushed to Qingyuan leisurely.

Although the two parties set off one after the other, the Supreme Emperor was in a carriage, and soon caught up with the large army, and the carriage fell not too far behind the marching team.

The [-] army rushed during the day and took time to rest at night.

He has been enjoying a life of rich clothes and fine food in the palace. Although Ye Xu has been practicing martial arts, the rapid march for such a long time has made him a little bit unbearable. He just sharpened his big knife hard one by one, hoping to chop off a few more heads of Beiliang people with the knife in his hand when he was on the battlefield.

After five days of rapid marching, the team finally arrived at Qingyuan City. The two sides joined forces and quickly formulated a siege plan. The next morning, the battle began.

The 14-year-old boy was just growing tall, his figure was a little thin, and the armor on his body was a bit awkward, but the handsome boy was holding a big knife weighing several tens of kilograms amidst the shocking killing sounds, and followed the surrounding people The soldiers rushed forward together, surrounded by hidden guards who were also dressed as soldiers, and they waved their weapons together and slashed at Beiliang soldiers!

With a bang, the machete slashed on the neck of a Beiliang soldier, blood spattered Ye Xu's face, his hands trembled involuntarily, and his face turned pale. After all, this was the first time he had killed someone, and he was terrified. Yes, but before he could calm down, a long spear came towards his face. Ye Xu reacted quickly and swung his sword to block the attack. It was blood splattered.

"Be careful, Your Highness. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and a flash god may lose his life." This was the voice of the guard protecting Ye Xu.

Ye Xu didn't make a sound, but continued to fight with the knife in his hand.

The hidden guards usually just watch, and only take action when Ye Xu is in danger. After nearly two hours of fighting, the city gate was finally breached, and the Zhanbei army rushed into the city like wild horses out of a cage. In the middle of the day, the sound of shouting and killing continued to ring out. When Chen Shi was approaching, the Zhanbei Army finally occupied the entire Qingyuan City.

The defenders of Qingyuan City were caught and killed, and the whole city was filled with the smell of blood.

……

In the Imperial City of Beiliang, Chu Heyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, turned pale with anger: "You say that there is no danger, that Liang Guo was born on horseback, and they exist for war!

What now?
You are about to be beaten to the door of your house, are you happy? "

Shi Guogong said: "The emperor is angry! According to my ministers, there is still room for redemption. It is not once or twice that our Liang has launched a war against Daxing. Daxing has never thought of occupying my Liang, because our land in Liang is relatively poor in the Central Plains." , not suitable for planting, the winter is too cold, and the Central Plains people can't adapt to it. This time, our people started a war again. Even if Daxing is a sick cat, he has to show us some color, not to mention that they are not sick cats. It's a downhill tiger.

The best countermeasure at present is to let our people evacuate as soon as possible, they can only occupy an empty city, even if no one hits the imperial city, it doesn't make any sense.

In addition, prepare a sum of compensation, as long as the money is sufficient, Daxing should be able to let us go, but in the future, we must not start a war rashly again. "

Otherwise, every time they lost a battle, they would have to pay a sky-high price of money, and Liang Guo would never be able to turn over again.

When he said this, Chu Heyu was indeed relieved, but Shi Guogong forgot one thing.

In the past, when people encountered wars, they could leave as soon as the tents were rolled up to catch up with the cattle and horses.

But more than ten years ago, Daxing sold several high-yielding crops to Liang Guo, and then successively sold some vegetables that are suitable for growing in cold regions to Liang Guo, plus Gu Wanning's vermicelli business, every year The price of harvesting sweet potatoes and potatoes is not low. Every year, people in Liang State come to collect these grains. The more they grow, the more they earn.

So these herdsmen settled down.

They built a house, planted land, and even opened up a hundred acres of land to grow food.

If they move, these properties will be lost for nothing.

Who is willing?
Chu Heyu and all the courtiers in Beiliang are still dreaming sweet dreams. However, it only took half a year for the three teams of Daxing to invade the imperial city. Because the soldiers of Daxing have strict military discipline, they are not allowed to harass civilians, let alone They burned, killed and looted, so that the people in the captured cities felt that it would be good to change someone to be the emperor. At least they would not have to pay taxes to Daxing again in the future.

In half a year, Ye Xu had been promoted by General Zhang to Commander-in-Chief because of his bravery in killing the enemy. At this time, his figure became stronger and stronger.

As soon as the gate of the Beiliang imperial city was broken, he led people all the way into the palace, killing all the guards who resisted, and all the remaining court ladies and eunuchs gathered together to wait for disposal.

The royal family of Beiliang was also imprisoned.
