My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 571 The storm is rising, and the fight for youth has been going on for several years
Boom!
Boom! dong dong dong
The dense and shocking drum beats resounded loudly in the four gates of Yanjing. The vibrating rhythm of the drum surface made people's blood tremble and boil.

On the streets, whether they were traders, footmen or dignitaries, when they heard the sound of drums, they looked at the direction from which the drums came with different expressions.

"...The war has begun."

Someone got excited: "There's a war!" Immediately, they kept shouting on the street.

The carriage came towards us and passed by the man. The curtains of the carriage were slightly opened, and the people inside looked at the pedestrians running past on the street.
The frenzy on the street scene left him speechless.

Xun Yu sighed, lowered the curtain, and told the driver: "Go to Zhongshu Province."

It has been many years since he came to this place. When he first came, he was still thinking about the big man back then. As time went by, he saw the people of Ding'an City working hard to rebuild their homes and the prefect Sun Shuwu doing his best, and he moved. compassion.

Finally, he let go of his obsession and helped in Ding'an City. This group, for many years, moved from Ding'an City to Yan State, and then from Yan State to change dynasties, and became the Minister of the Secretariat of Xia State.

For a moment, he seemed to be assisting Cao Cao in re-establishing the Han Dynasty, repairing the devastated north one by one in his hands, reclaiming acres of fertile land from the desolate land, setting off fireworks in groups of workshops, and encircling fisheries in fishing villages along the coast. .

The people in the north, who once had food on the table and didn't have much energy, have never been hungry again after several years of rest.

He is not opposed to the Western Expedition, and agrees with some of Su Chen's words that sacrificing the previous generation to seek longer-term stability for future generations is a far-sighted strategy.

Guo Jia seemed to be able to see an army so huge that it was impossible to count, boundless and boundless, would appear on this land.

"Fengxiao also has a worried side, which is really rare." Xun Yu tilted his head and smiled at him, put down his teacup, stood up, and started walking around the room: "Actually, it's not just you who is worried, His Majesty is also worried, and everyone in the world is also worried. .

Xun Yu is not worried about how long the things he formulated will last. As long as he is still there, he can always bring more benefits to countless people.

At a certain moment, the carriage entered the imperial city and stopped outside the Zhongshu Provincial Government Office.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"It would be best not to have it." Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief. He died early that year and was unable to reach the end. Within a few days of coming here, he knew how Xun Yu died, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in his heart.

The clerk holding the approval document bumped into someone, and for a while, the paper fell to the ground like snowflakes.

It was a surging heartbeat, a high-pitched emotion that couldn't be more exciting.

Now the entire Xia Kingdom is in motion, and they are using their strength to push this rising Xia to an unprecedented prosperous age, become a huge country, and continue to do so.

Xun Yu walked over with a smile, took the official document from Guo Jia's hand and put it aside.

"How come you have time to come to my place?"

Now the entire Xia Kingdom, from the common people to the emperor, is taking a risk, and has conquered the territory from the sea in the east to the west in the west. If they lose, their prestige will plummet, and the barbarians will not accept it, and the war will start again soon. "

The ambitions that had not had time to be realized were implemented on the heads of the people here, new houses were built for them, and perfect laws were formulated, so that when people gathered to live together, there would no longer be panic or numbness on their faces, let alone children. Crying from hunger.

The only thing he objected to was treating people as fodder. He was disgusted when he did this to Cheng Yu. When he heard Jia Xu coming up with this plan, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Maybe it has something to do with his overly moderate personality.

After being quiet for a while, Guo Jia suddenly spoke and asked: "Wen Ruo, what do you think the chances of winning the Western Expedition are? Now everyone in the Xia Kingdom is focusing on the Western Expedition. If the war goes unfavorably, I, the Xia Dynasty, may become an eternal joke, and the court's prestige The sudden drop...is facing a situation of falling apart.”

He attached great importance to food and fodder, and was even more worried that the Western Expeditionary Army would have insufficient food and feed on humans. After all, the old fox would set off with the army. It was said that the Mongol general Subotai who commanded the Mongolian cavalry was also a vegetarian.

"Haha! It's your turn, Guo Fengxiao, to scold me."

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu's back and fell silent. The Western Expedition was so huge that it made people feel a little overwhelmed. Even the generals of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention them, might not be able to operate it skillfully.

Guo Jia took a sip of tea, talked to Xun Yu for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Looking at Guo Jia opposite, Xun Yu said this.

"Following the filial piety, the importance of Yu's care, the difference between me and His Majesty is only on Jia Xu's strategy. Since I can't persuade him, I won't do it anymore."

Xun Yu handed a cup of tea to the opposite person and continued with a smile: "I finally regained my life, how could I let my good body go to waste... In the few years since I came here, I have always hoped that this place would get better."

"Since Wen Ruo has no other ideas, Najia will leave. Over at the Embroidery Department, Li Taibai is lazy again and goes drinking somewhere. I have to send and receive messages for him."

This is the promise Xun Yu made to Su Chen, and also to the majestic man in his heart.

When the words of apologies and curses rang out, Xun Yu walked over and helped to pick up the official documents that were scattered on the ground. The two officials who collided there were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped and picked up the documents tremblingly. Then they bowed to the person in front of them. Minister Xun saluted.

"It's okay, go get busy."

During this time, news continued to come from various places. All states and counties sent conscripted soldiers to gather in the north. The Qingzhou Army had crossed the Hun River, entered Ding'an and was about to arrive at Yanjing. The Bingzhou Army had arrived at Feiyun Port by boat with the fleets from the South and Central Plains. .

Standing still, Xun Yu closed his eyes and exhaled: "...but the arrow is on the string and must be fired. Victory or defeat is not decided by you and me. In the end, it still depends on the generals' use of troops and the soldiers' lives!"

"not busy?"

There were a lot of things to prepare, and it was a kind of busyness that he had never been exposed to before.

The troops gathered here and the camps set up there are almost endless at a glance. Their densely packed figures can make the whole world tremble.

He rode his horse and jumped onto the high platform in front. He held the ring-head knife on the horse's back with a majestic look.

Xun Yu smiled and waved his hands to calm their uneasy mood, and then went straight back to the side room of his office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Guo Jia sitting behind the case, looking through the official documents on his desk.

Everyone had seen Xun Yu's mood in the court before, and Guo Jia was a little worried. This guy had relapsed into his old habit of going against his superiors.

"You don't know how you died in your last life?" Guo Jia restrained his usual unruly temper and showed a rare serious expression.

Xia Houyuan galloped down the broad avenue, passing through the crowd and into the line of sight of the troops stretching outside.

Xun Yu laughed out loud at his words. He sat across from him, took the teapot that was warm on the small stove, and poured two cups of warm tea.

Far to the east of Longyang County, countless flags and figures gathered from Ding'an and Changchuan in the south. The originally muddy ground was covered with human feet, and the color of the soil could not be seen.

"Come and take a look at you."

"After several years of military service, I, Daxia, have made great achievements in martial arts. I have set up an army with your majesty since Ding'an, brought order to the chaos, and conquered Wei State. Only then did we conquer such territory. Even the Japanese pirates who roamed the sea fell at our feet, and the seventy-two countries in the Western Regions also Trembling under the strong soldiers, merge into our country of Daxia!"

Countless flags sounded like they were covering the sky and the sun. The tall bodies on horseback clenched their fists and looked at the recruits from Yuezhou and Central Plains under the flags, as well as the Qingzhou soldiers with high morale and gearing up.

"...However, the barbarians from the west invaded the territory, slaughtered countless people, and offended the prestige of our country, Great Xia. Your Majesty has never suffered such humiliation since the founding of Great Xia. Do you know what to do?!"

The Huanshou Sword was slowly pulled out of its scabbard and held in his hand.

"His Majesty once told me that since these Xirong barbarians can come in, kill the people of Xizhou of our Xia Kingdom and burn down the city, there is nothing to talk about. Even if we want to talk, we have to wait until we have avenged our revenge. The premise is how many of them are still alive. His Majesty also said that it is precisely because of the arrival of these Western barbarians that we know that there is such a vast land outside the Western Regions waiting for us to conquer! "

"Our brothers and sisters need fertile land, and our wives, children, and children need big houses to live in. Since the Western barbarians are trying to plunder our land with weapons, now we also like the land under their feet!"

Xia Houyuan raised the blade of his sword, his helmet tassel swaying in the wind.

"...If you like it, then use weapons to tell them what it means that wherever the light of the sky, the sun and the moon go, they are all summer soil."

With a fierce wave of his hand, he ordered the arrow to be thrown.

The arrow flew through the air, fell down from the high platform, and was inserted in front of the troops.

The wind blew across the high platform, and his beard was slightly stroking. Join Tiele!"

At the end of September in the eighth year of Yuanxing.

The soldiers and horses of the two states who swore an oath of loyalty in Longyang County broke out of camp and marched westward on the second day of October.

One thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, two thousand regular cavalry, with Xiahou Yuan as the commander, Xiahou Dun as the deputy general, Zhang He and Xu Huang as the left and right wings, Yue Jin as the vanguard, the total Qingzhou army is 20,000, the Central Plains and Yuezhou army is 80,000, and there are 10,000 The leader of the Tiefeng Yijie Army will be Meng Tuo.

The entire army of 113,000 people started a mighty march and will join the Xiliang Army in Tiele, waiting for further army reorganization.

……

The light of day goes far to the west.

Tiele City.

In the black military camp stationed outside Tiele City, the envoy from the east strode into the black military tent.

Seeing the current Grand Master and the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, the envoy took out a list of armaments from his arms: "Grand Master, this is the armament you requested from the Grand Lieutenant before. Weapons, armor, crossbows, and even gunpowder are all here. "

The envoy who came over carefully handed the list to the fat man opposite with a broad face and a lion's nose. Dong Zhuo stroked his thick beard and read the contents carefully, laughing loudly.

Soon after, fully loaded carriages, large and small, entered the army's rear camp.

……

Lingqi, carrying the emperor's will, rushed in all directions.

……

The devil-like general walked out of the yurt and looked at the Mongolian cavalry with iron masks on their faces and two swords in their hands. He got on his horse, his eyes filled with the killing that once swept the west. He slowly raised his scimitar and raised it above his head. The sound is powerful and loud.

"Mongol warriors, we fight to the west and sweep their land!"

"kill!"

Countless roars fiercely rose into the sky on horseback.

Horse hooves gathered together into a tidal wave, vibrating on the grassland. The desolate horn horns sounded in the sky, and the huge group of cavalry turned into an endless torrent, spreading across the grassland with overwhelming momentum and rushing to the west.

Feiyungang.

One by one, warships docked at the coast. Zhou Yu, dressed in military uniform and wearing a white half-length shirt, stepped onto the Qinglong warship.

On top of the treasure ship, Zheng He, wearing a gold-winged crown and a flying fish suit, was sitting on a chair and slowly raised his orchid finger.

After a while, the flag waved.

After seeing the order, Zhou Yu also raised his palms, and the long sound of the ship's horn sounded along the coast.

As the warship left the port, Lu Su stood at the dock and slowly raised his hand, looked at the warship in the distance, and bowed before him.

A general named Gan Ning carried two swords at his waist, one foot on the guardrail, and his head held high.

Lu Meng was riding his horse on the deck, not caring about the looks of his soldiers. He was thinking about how to deal with the enemy's warships this time when he went to the west. He even hoped that there would be more enemy warships so that he could do his best. Show what you’ve learned.

Occasionally, he looked west in the direction of Yanjing.

Kuan……

Although you and I have reconciled, I will never lose to you. I... also want to shock China!
Yanjing.

The fields outside the city began to stir under the hooves of horses, and countless cavalry began to gather from all directions.

Lu Bu, who is like a god of war, has his hair tied up in a golden crown, wearing an animal face and a head armor, holding a painted halberd and sitting silently on horseback, watching thousands of cavalry gather into the sea, his face is solemn, and he is not angry but powerful.

At a certain moment, he stretched out his hand and raised Fang Tian's painted halberd in the wind. The running wolf cavalry stopped in front of them with the sound of rumbling hooves. Thousands of cavalry were ringing their weapons on horseback.

The murderous spirit fills the wild.

In the distance, the war horn sounded in the camp.

Xiang Yu tied his hair into a bun, asked his beloved wife to put on an iron helmet for him, put on the silver armor that had been prepared, took out the Wu Zui, and turned over.

He looked back at his wife and daughter who were walking to the door of the house, and smiled.

"Ayu, wait for me to come back!"

After saying this, he waved his city-breaking halberd and galloped away on his horse.

……

On the second day of October, the weather gradually became cooler. Wenwu, the core of the entire Xia Kingdom, also entered the Shangwu Hall in the imperial city on this day.

All the generals who followed, including Li Jing, Bai Qi, Qin Qiong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Jia Xu, Wang Lang, etc., were all present. They straightened their spines as they watched the figure striding onto the high platform.

Su Chen walked to the edge of the raised platform and stood there. He glanced at everyone and said simply: "The time has come. Get ready for war, everyone!"

Wu Anjun Bai Qi closed his eyes, put his hands on his knees, and was immersed in the firelight, like a ferocious beast waiting to choose people to devour.

Outside the city.

The army of Youyan, Tang Army, Yizhou Army and the newly formed Qin Army have been assembled.
