Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"You two! Please don't hurt the relationship! Attacking the city is more important! The Gaochang army has found out the details of Yanmen Pass for us, which should be counted as a merit! And General Yang Wanchun is just eager to attack the city, and he has no intention of offending you."

When the situation in the tent was tense, a somewhat elegant general stepped forward and held the two men back.

Yanmen Pass hasn't been captured yet, and now they are fighting among themselves? This is a situation that Wanwan doesn't want to see.

"Humph!"

Yang Wanchun and the Gaochang general opposite them both snorted coldly, sat down and kept their heads down in silence.

"The army can't afford such losses! If there is no solution, let's disperse as soon as possible!"

The Gaochang general had a grim expression on his face, and there was a hint of resentment in his words.

This time, he only brought 50,000 elite troops to attack Yanmen Pass! This was only the first charge, and before entering the heart of Da Yan, one-fifth of the troops had already been lost!

Not to mention a head-on confrontation with the Dayan army!

What the hell! Go home early and have a shower!
What's more, they were on a forced march this time! The food and fodder they brought along was not abundant! If they couldn't enter the heart of Da Yan, they would run out of food sooner or later!
"General Yang... do you have any plan this time? It's no use wasting time here... if that evil star comes..."

That elegant general also had a headache!
He was not afraid of the stubborn resistance of the defenders of Yanmen Pass, but if he delayed, something bad would happen!

If the Great Yan army came to their aid, they might not get any benefits!
And once that evil star who has turned the Turkic tribes upside down appears at Yanmen Pass, they will be in big trouble!
"Humph! Since it's difficult to open a gap from the front, let's try another method!"

Yang Wanchun picked up the wine glass in front of him and shook it, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

"That's easy for you to say! What else can we do if we don't take down Yanmen Pass? Take a detour? Our people can't stand such a hassle!"

General Gaochang sneered when he heard this. Yanmen Pass was right in their way of conquest!
If Yanmen Pass is not breached, how can we bloodbath Da Yan?
How can we take control of the vast territory of Dayan?

"He is indeed a reckless man with strong limbs who only knows how to act recklessly! If the open way doesn't work, can't we try secretly? Li Kuan must die!"

The corners of Yang Wanchun's mouth curled up, as if he had thought of some evil plan.

At midnight, outside the town on the southeast side of Yanmen Pass.

A team of 500 people wearing the armor of Goguryeo soldiers took advantage of the night to cross the steep terrain, slowly approached this side, and stopped in front of a small hill.

"General...what are we doing here?"

This group of people were none other than Yang Wanchun's troops who had secretly left Yanmen Pass!

"I'm not as stupid as those people in Gaochang! I prefer playing dirty tricks! We will rush into this town in the dark and kidnap hundreds of people to threaten the Great Yan court! As long as the Great Yan court doesn't want to be cursed, it must retreat!"

The cold moonlight shone on Yang Wanchun's cheek, making him look gloomy!

"Isn't this... inhumane? It is despised by the world for two armies to use innocent civilians as bargaining chips in a war..."

The man seemed to sense Yang Wanchun's coldness and unconsciously took a step back.

"How stupid! Since ancient times, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits! As long as we can achieve our goals, we can use any means. Besides, aren't the Turks any more cruel than us for eating the Han people?"

After Yang Wanchun finished speaking, he waved his hand, and hundreds of elite soldiers behind him began to approach the low city wall over there.

"who!"

In the darkness of night, a guard on the city wall seemed to have noticed the unusual movement below, and shouted coldly, holding up the lantern in his hand.

"Pfft-"

But the next second, an arrow flew through the air and went straight into his head. He opened his eyes wide and couldn't scream, and then fell straight down from the city wall.

"Quick battle, quick decision! Go in and kidnap a few hundred lowly people! If anyone ruins my good deeds out of play, I will kill them without mercy!"

The next morning, the soldiers on the city wall of Yanmen Pass were still keeping a close eye on the movements outside the pass. Facing a powerful enemy, they dared not be negligent!

"what is that?"

Suddenly, the defenders saw hundreds of people wearing Dayan costumes slowly approaching from a thousand meters away.

There was fear on everyone's face!

Some of the elderly, the weak, women and children were staggering and looking around in panic.

Behind them, there were a hundred barbarian soldiers!
They were waving their swords and laughing wildly!

He drove the Tang people in front of him as if they were livestock!
"What are they trying to do?!"

The defenders' hearts skipped a beat, and they suddenly had a bad premonition!

"Listen up, all the cowards in there who don't dare to fight! Send a message to the Great Yan court in Yanyun City! Tell them that if Li Kuan is not sentenced to death, these hundreds of innocent Great Yan people will be chopped into meat paste by us!"

A moment later, the team of a hundred men drove the people of Dayan to the city gate. The leader seemed to have calculated that the defenders would not dare to attack, so he swaggered to the front and shouted loudly at the city wall.

"Asshole! Beast!"

The soldiers on the city wall, who is not a passionate man? How could they bear this scene? !

"General! Let's go down and fight them! How can a man of seven feet endure such humiliation!"

A soldier, with bloodshot eyes and rage gushing out, half-knelt on the ground and spoke to the garrison general not far away.

"Yes! General! This is too frustrating!"

A dignified and brave man from Dayan was ridiculed by a group of uncivilized barbarians?

They have been guarding the pass for several days, facing the ridicule and humiliation of the barbarians every day, and they are already ready to fight. As long as the guard gives an order, they will rush out and fight to the death with the ignorant barbarians!

Nowadays these barbarians are even more shameless!
They actually used Da Yan to threaten innocent people!

"Shut up! Guard the city gate! Stay in seclusion and don't come out!"

Although the general was also furious, he still suppressed his anger.

The humiliation is only temporary! When the army from the rear arrives to help, we will definitely get it back with interest!

It’s not that he ignored the hundreds of people of Dayan below, but Yanmen Pass was truly unbreakable!
Once Yanmen Pass is breached, it will not only be the defenders and civilians inside the pass who will suffer, but also millions of innocent people in Da Yan.

"What? Are you dumb? Or do you think we are just joking and dare not do anything serious? Come on! Do it!"

Under the city wall, the barbarian general who had shouted earlier became a little impatient. He made a gesture and ten soldiers came out, dragging a civilian in cloth clothes.

"No! No! Give my mother back to me! Give my mother back to me!"

A little boy stumbled out from the crowd and tried to rush to a woman who had been captured, but was ruthlessly stopped by the barbarian soldiers. "My son...save me...save me...I don't want to die!"

The woman struggled, glanced at the child behind her, then raised her head with some hope, and shouted to the guard on the city wall with tears in her eyes.

"General..."

The soldiers guarding the pass burst into tears when they saw this scene!
They are also human beings! People with flesh and blood! They have their own parents, wives, children, relatives and friends!
The despair and silence on the face of the friendly figure below made them feel heartbroken!
“…Guard the city gates! Stay in seclusion and don’t leave!”

The general was furious and clenched his fists so tightly that his nails pierced deeply into his flesh!
He hates!

I hated myself for watching the innocent people of Dayan being bullied by barbarians while being unable to do anything!
"Humph! What a bastard Han kid! Kill him!"

The barbarian general had a ferocious look on his face. He waved his hand and ten soldiers beside him raised their butcher knives and chopped down the innocent civilians.
For a moment, the color of heaven and earth changed!
Those hundreds of people of Dayan were in tears!

………………

Yanyun City, Imperial Palace, Hanyuan Hall.

"What's the situation at Yanmen Pass? Any news?"

In the court, Guo Shoujing looked up at the changing sky outside the hall, and it took him a while to come back to his senses and ask.

"Master Guo..."

Heshen walked out from among the civil and military officials in the court, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and the words he had just prepared stopped at his lips.

"My Lord, if you have something to say, just speak directly. It's not your style to be hesitant."

Guo Shoujing frowned slightly. He had never seen Heshen, who was usually calm, being so shy!

"Master Guo... a report came from Yanmen Pass... the barbarian army raided our Great Yan town, abducted hundreds of innocent people... drove them outside Yanmen Pass, and threatened them with their lives... say..."

Heshen raised his hands in a bow, which were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry!
"Hmm? Shameless barbarians! They actually resorted to such dirty tricks! They extended their butcher knives to the innocent people of Wu Dayan! What did they say?!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Shoujing jumped up from his chair and angrily turned away!
"We will exchange the life of our Majesty Li Kuan for the lives of hundreds of Han people... If you don't comply, twenty civilians will be killed outside Yanmen Pass every day, and their heads will be... hung outside Yanmen Pass to be exposed to the scorching sun... and eaten by hawks..."

Heshen was trembling and tears welled up in his eyes.

Even if your own pet is treated like this by barbarians, the owner will be furious!

What's more, they were people! Living people! Innocent citizens of Da Yan!

Barbarians act like this! How are they different from animals?!
"What! Bastard! This is too much!"

As soon as Heshen's words were heard, all the civil and military officials in the court changed color!
In the past, the Turks were rampant! I didn't expect that the barbarians in these countries were so brutal!
Guo Shoujing, who was standing on the high platform, had a terribly gloomy face. He did not curse loudly, but his gloomy eyes were enough to show the anger in his heart!
"General Chen Qingzhi, General Xin Qiji, where have they arrived?"

After a moment, Guo Shoujing sat down, his eyes sharp!
"Master Guo! Although the generals have been traveling non-stop all night long, it will still take some time for the army to reach Yanmen Pass..."

Qi Jiguang on the other side took a step forward and spoke directly.

"Pass on the imperial order, and have all the armies speed up their march! I will make those barbarians pay the price!"

At the same time, the news from Yanmen Pass on the front line spread throughout Yanyun City, and Yanyun City was shaken from top to bottom!
Countless common people and literati took to the streets. They were angry at the shameless behavior of the barbarian army!
A large number of people gathered! Filled with righteous indignation! Just because the prestige of the Tang Dynasty suffered a great humiliation!

They still remember that in the past the Turks wantonly trampled on the prestige of Dayan on Han soil!

Now the dormant anger has been ignited, and no one is silent anymore!
Outside the Daming Palace in Yanyun City, in just a few hours, 50,000 people gathered here!
Our Great Yan was originally a celestial empire, with abundant resources, vast territory, and a great country! We could have kept the barbarians out!

The Han people are hospitable, so we open our country's doors wide to welcome guests from all over the world.

Although they received tribute from all nations, the Han people knew the etiquette of reciprocity, and accepted their tributes and passed on their education! So that they no longer had to eat raw meat and drink blood like the barbarians!

He also taught them the ways of agriculture and animal husbandry, making the country stronger and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

We have provided a lot of help in military, cultural and political aspects, and protected them and ensured their safety!

Yes! The barbarian countries are like white-eyed wolves, with no gratitude and repaying kindness with hatred!
Invade our territory! Violate our national prestige! Hurt our people!

A few days ago, two hundred thousand soldiers were deployed outside Yanmen Pass to threaten our Great Yan's God of War. Your Majesty has sentenced him to death!
He even boasted about destroying Da Yan!

Such behavior!

There is no humanity at all!

Talking about them as beasts is like destroying the reputation of beasts!
On a temporary high platform outside the Daming Palace, a scholar made an impassioned speech with fierce words! It was none other than Lu Zhaolin, a famous scholar in the early Tang Dynasty!

"People of Dayan, now those barbarians have come to our doorsteps! How can we sleep peacefully? Such barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood! We cannot let them stay! We all beg Your Majesty! Go to war immediately! Kill them without a single piece of armor left! Destroy all the countries and make them pay the price!"

From the audience, another imposing scholar jumped up and took over Lu Zhaolin's words. It was the poet Yang Jiong!
"Destroy all nations! Blood debt to be paid with blood!"

Lu Zhaolin and Yang Jiong looked at each other with determination in their eyes. Under the gaze of 50,000 people, they raised their arms and shouted!
'"Destroy all nations! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

Most of those present were ordinary people, including many farmers who had been farming for generations.

They couldn't read a single word, but their expressions were extremely determined at this moment!
The Turks had already stained this piece of Han land with blood! They didn't want another Turk to appear outside their door.

"Master Guo... did you hear that? The people of our Great Tang are so united! Why should Great Yan not prosper?"

In the Hanyuan Hall, just as Guo Shoujing was about to leave the court, deafening shouts spread throughout the Daming Palace. Heshen, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but burst into tears!
The people are the foundation of the country! As long as the people are united! The prosperity of the country is only a matter of time!
"Officials! Follow me out of the palace! Stand together with the people of Great Yan!"

Guo Shoujing walked down from the chair with a flick of his sleeves, the gloom on his face now faded a lot.

……

The other side of Yanyun City.

"Brother-in-law... I heard from the servants that there are many bad guys who want to kill you... Woo woo woo, I don't want you to die..."

Inside the room, Li Kuan was lying on a rocking chair eating melon seeds. Xiao Yanyan suddenly rushed in from outside the door and grabbed him.

The little head was pressed tightly against his chest, and the voice was choked.

"Um... Sister Yuan, why are you crying?"

Li Kuan was speechless. He had just put a handful of melon seeds into his mouth and hadn't started eating yet when Xiao Yanyan bumped into him and almost choked him to death!

"The servants all said that there are many bad guys in Yanmen Pass! They threatened the court to kill your brother-in-law, but you can't die... If you die, who will I play with in the future? I can't cook those delicious food..."

Xiao Yanyan raised her head, and crystal tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
