Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1894: The Battle of the Six Emperors, the Han Dynasty's Southern Expedition

The second year of Yuanshi.

May.

By then, the spring planting time had passed.

But outside Yecheng, troops and horses were gathering in large numbers, and the Tiger Guard Corps had gathered 150,000 soldiers and horses.

The first year of Yuanshi.

This year is a special year for the Han Dynasty.

In this year, the Han Dynasty was established in this chaotic world.

And the second year of Yuanshi.

It is also a special year for the Han people.

In this year, the Han Dynasty officially launched the prelude to the war to unify the eighteen paths of the original Da Cang.

At that time, although the Han Dynasty had not yet reached its most prosperous state, Hedong Road had not been in its hands for long. Although it could already supply blood to the Han Dynasty with its original foundation, it was still far from comparable to Hebei, which had been in its hands for many years.

As for Shenglan, it is also a rich garrison land, but because Su Dingfang killed too many people there at that time, it is now unable to truly supply blood to the Han Dynasty, but it can also guarantee Su Dingfang's self-sufficiency.

If we wait another two years, and let these two places fully supply blood to the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty will be at its peak at that time. If we wait another two years, the strength of the Han Dynasty will definitely be much stronger than it is now.

However, this time, that time.

The Tianshi Dao and King Wei were weak and in a difficult situation.

King Wei, in particular, had fallen to the extreme point of decline at this time.

Tianshi Dao said that at least Xuanyuan Huang’s ability was strong enough. Moreover, although he could not find a way out within Da Cang, he got a chance to breathe outside Da Cang through Jiang Lieshan, which eased his originally difficult situation.

But just because Xuanyuan Huang has this ability doesn’t mean King Wei also has that ability.

At this time, King Wei was vulnerable.

As for Prince Jing, his vitality had been damaged due to the long war and he was no longer in the best condition.

The Zhenbei Army in the northwest still has a certain strength and can hold on to the Tuoba tribe for a while. And during this period of time, isn't it Wang Yu's time? Isn't it the time of the Han Dynasty?
With the Zhenbei Army in the northwest, Wang Yu doesn't need to worry about the problems of the Tuoba tribe, at least for the next period of time.

Although since he blocked the Zhonghang Mountains, the Zhenbei Army will inevitably become weaker and weaker as time goes by.

However, this matter requires time to develop, and it is not an immediate process.

How long has it been? It's far from being that long!

Therefore, the Zhenbei Army still has its combat effectiveness at this time!
And isn’t the Zhenbei Army the best barrier against the Tuoba tribe?

As for the Dongyi in the northeast, they were also suffering from severe attrition with the Sun Country. At this time, although the war situation had already subsided, the initial fierce battle had not really ended completely, but had entered a state of strategic confrontation.

It can be said that the Han Dynasty itself has not yet reached its peak state.

But the external environment at this time was already the most suitable time for them to march south.

If he waits for two years, the Han man might have reached his peak state by then, and his own strength would be much stronger than it is now.

However, it is very likely that the forces surrounding the Han Dynasty have also had the opportunity to recover.

Therefore, when the spring planting was over, Wang Yu decided to swear to go to war.

In the first year of Yuanshi, Wang Yu's Han Dynasty was first established, and within a few months, Zhao Kuangyin's Song Dynasty was also established.

The successive ascensions to the throne also prompted Huangfu Guyuan, who originally wanted to conquer Da Cang and then become emperor with supreme prestige, to become emperor ahead of schedule in the winter of the first year of Yuanshi.

After Huangfu Guyuan, King Wei Huangfu Guqi and Tianshi Dao Xuanyuan Huang were also unwilling to be left out, and they proclaimed themselves emperors in the winter of last year and the spring of this year respectively.

They were hostile to Huangfu Guyuan, who had already proclaimed himself emperor. If they did not follow suit, they would naturally be inferior in status.

It can be said that in the entire Da Cang, the only forces that have not taken any action are the Zhenbei Army and the Zhennan Army.

There has been no response so far, which shows that these two companies are indeed not as ambitious as the others.

In addition to the small court in Hexi Dao, which originally regarded itself as the emperor's orthodox dynasty, there are now six emperors within the sphere of influence of the former Da Cang.

However, among the six emperors, three of them inherited the name of Cang!
The Hexi Dao small court considered itself to be of the orthodox royal bloodline. As for Prince Jing and Prince Wei, they certainly could not be willing to start a new dynasty. What they wanted most was naturally to inherit the name of their ancestors.

To the extent that, among the six imperial courts, three were Cang.

The remaining three are Wang Yu's Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's Song Dynasty, and Xuanyuan Huang's Yan Dynasty.

It was also because of this that in the second year of Yuanshi, the Han Dynasty began its southern expedition, which lasted until the Han Dynasty completely unified the original Eighteen Paths of Da Cang. This period was also called the Six Emperors Period by later historians.

"Bang the drum!"

"Gather together!"

"Three armies march out!"

Accompanied by Wang Yu's loud shout.

The strong man in the army swung the drumstick in his hand and beat the giant drum in front of him in a specific rhythm.

"Boom boom boom!"

"..."

The war drums beat faster and faster.

It was as if a war had broken out.

at the same time.

Another long sound was heard.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The soldiers standing on both sides of the platform blew the long horns, producing powerful and vast sounds that made people feel as if they were on a battlefield.

In the military camp outside Yecheng, the soldiers were waiting to swear an oath to go to war. They were all in high spirits and had firm eyes. They all believed that they would win this battle.

As the sun rose, Wang Yu, who was already 24 years old, walked step by step to the front platform amid the sound of drums and trumpets.

Wearing golden armor and with the Zhanlu sword hanging from his waist, he looked even more heroic and extraordinary at this moment, like a god from heaven, which impressed all the soldiers.

After he stood still, the 150,000 Tiger Guards, plus half of the Imperial Guards, that is, 200,000 soldiers, all bowed down and shouted loudly: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The roar of two hundred thousand people was like thunder, spreading out, and everyone in the entire city could hear it clearly.

"No need to be so polite, soldiers. Stand up!"

Wang Yu's face was serious and he shouted loudly. With just one sentence, the roars from below quickly stopped. The huge parade ground was completely silent, with only his final oath-taking speech being heard.

"Ever since the Three Kings rebelled, the world has been in chaos for a long time!"

"Until now, not only are there rebellious bandits like the Three Kings causing trouble everywhere and occupying the capital, but there are also foreign barbarians invading many cities in our northern border and eyeing the Central Plains!"

"There are even those rebellious ministers who have long had ambitions to establish themselves, and they are all unwilling to be lonely!"

"I have inherited the mandate of heaven, carried on the will of the people, and followed the will of the late Emperor Canghuangfu to establish the Han Dynasty. How can I sit back and watch the country and society be lost, and countless people suffer from the disaster of war and die under the sword!"

"Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, I have been preparing my army and horses until today. I do not seek to establish an empire for thousands of years, but only to bring peace to the people with the sword in my hand!"

"I only wish to use my entire life's energy to quell the wars in the world, so that my descendants can live and work in peace and contentment, without having to suffer the pain of displacement!"

"And that Huangfu Guyuan, a traitor, actually lived in Tianjing, Henan, and attempted to steal the sacred artifacts of the country. He was even so crazy that he wanted to poison the queen and the prince two years ago!"

"How detestable! I have only just found out the whole story today! The Queen and the Crown Prince are the foundation of the country. Although I am not talented, I am willing to devote all my strength to avenge the shame of the Han Dynasty!"

In order to justify his actions, Wang Yu not only brought up the righteousness of the world, but also pinned the incident of Huangfu Jingya being poisoned while she was pregnant when he was in Yanbei directly on Huangfu Guyuan's head.

In this matter, it doesn't matter who really did it, what matters is Wang Yu, whoever he wants to do it, he can do it. For some things, what the facts should be can be determined entirely by needs.

At that time, when the incident happened, he was angry, but so much time had passed, and his anger had long since subsided, so it was okay to take advantage of that incident.

This reason is both public and private. As he said, the Queen and the Crown Prince are the foundation of the country.

Besides, the royal family has no private affairs. Matters concerning the emperor are both family affairs and state affairs.

Huangfu Guyuan had intended to harm these two people, so there was no problem in sending troops with this excuse. Although at that time, the queen was not yet the queen, and the prince was not yet the prince.

He paused, raised his voice again, and shouted, "All the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, are you willing to follow me south to Henan, kill the enemy and capture the thieves, avenge the shame of the Han Dynasty, wipe out the traitors, and restore the world?"

When calling Huangfu Guyuan, Wang Yu was very blunt, calling him a traitor. When his Han Dynasty was founded, it not only had the support of the people, but also had the support of the people in various provinces. Moreover, even the Huangfu lineage had made their voices heard.

Not to mention that Wang Yu, half of his blood is from the Huangfu lineage.

When Huangfu Guyuan was called a traitor, it was naturally loud and had a stance.

The Han dynasty of Wang Yu was inherited from the court of Huangfu Mingze. After the death of Huangfu Mingze, there was no one in the royal family. With the support of royal blood, old ministers and people all over the world, Wang Yu had no choice but to take up the banner.

One day, if there are virtuous people in the royal family, Wang Yu will return this Jiangshan artifact to the hands of the Huangfu family! Of course, as for what kind of people can be called virtuous people, Wang Yu naturally has his own set of criteria for judgment.

If there is still no one who Wang Yu believes is qualified to shoulder the responsibility of this country, he can only continue to suffer.

After all, it’s all for the people of this world!!!

Although he had joined forces with Huangfu Guyuan to launch the Battle of Tianjing, at that time, he, Wang Yu, represented the court of Huangfu Mingze. Exterminating Huangfu Mingzhao's rebel leader Zhao was just a temporary expedient, which did not affect the fact that he believed Huangfu Guyuan was also a traitor.

Later, although he and Huangfu Guyuan had a honeymoon period, it was also a temporary measure to confuse the traitors, in order to pacify the north of the river and buy time to rebuild the country.

Sure enough, now this scene seems to be worth Wang Yu’s endurance of humiliation!

"We swear to follow your majesty until death, and capture the thieves in the city!"

At that moment, some generals in the front row responded loudly.

Then, the soldiers in the rear also started shouting.

At first, their calls were quite chaotic and so noisy that it was impossible to hear what they were saying.

But as someone took the lead, the calls became unified, reduced to the simplest two sentences:
"Destroy Henan and capture Huangfu Guyuan alive!"

"We must win! We must win!"

The sound was so loud and unified, like thunder, spreading from the parade ground in all directions and echoing in the sky of Yecheng.

Even though the military camp was outside the city instead of inside, the shouting was so loud that it not only reached the city, but also shook the heavens, allowing all the people in the city to hear it clearly.

Amid the shouts of "We must win", Wang Yu had already drawn out his Zhanlu and pointed it in the direction of Henan in the south, shouting, "The army is moving! The target is Tianjing!"

The whole army was silent at first, and then they shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Then, the already neatly organized team, led by their respective generals, began to move out of the parade ground in a fairly neat formation.

It was only daybreak at this time, but the mobilization of such a force of 200,000 people, coupled with the subsequent delivery of food and supplies, meant that it was already after noon when they actually left Yecheng.

As the emperor's commander-in-chief, Wang Yu did not leave with the central army, but stayed at the end.

Although he will lead the army in person this time, he may not necessarily be at the front line.

At this time, he was looking at Zhao Anling and Guan Zhong with a serious expression: "Uncle Anling, Yiwu, many things in the city will be handed over to you two to take care of together, please don't let me down."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. With two of us here, we will not let Hebei go wrong in the slightest!"

It was not Zhao Anling who spoke, but Guan Zhong.

Zhao Anling was also very clear in his mind. Although he and Guan Zhong were left behind to guard the rear, Zhao Anling knew very well that Wang Yu still trusted Guan Zhong, not Zhao Anling.

It's not that Zhao Anling is not loyal enough, on the contrary, he is very loyal, no less loyal than others. It's a pity that Wang Chang can command him besides Wang Yu.

Therefore, although two people were stationed in the rear together, the military power was in the hands of Guan Zhong.

Whoever controls the military power has the most confidence! He is also the one with the greater say!
Zhao Anling even suspected that if it were not for his sufficient seniority and the fact that his official position was lower than Guan Zhong's, Wang Yu would simply give the important task of commanding the rear to Guan Zhong alone and not give it to him at all.

However, after all, he was the prime minister, and Guan Zhong was only the minister of six ministries, including the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. No matter what, Wang Yu could not bypass him now, even if it was just a superficial project, he still had to do it.
