Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 168 Bohai Restoration
"kill!"

Standing on the city wall, looking far away, I saw black smoke rising from the enemy camp in the distance, shouting to kill and shaking the ground, and the three big flags were written with three big characters "Xu", "Chu" and "Qi" in red, leading the Soldiers rushed through the enemy camp like a long dragon.The three banners are invincible, and the enemy soldiers are running away wherever they pass. They can only flee, and have no resistance at all.

Xu Qing is here!

When Duan Hongchen saw this, he couldn't hold back his breath, and smiled broadly.Immediately, Duan Hongchen left all the soldiers in the city, and together with Xu Qing, attacked the Allied Forces of the Three Small Nations.With this back and forth attack, the coalition forces became more and more disintegrated, but within a short while, nearly 3000 people abandoned their armor and surrendered.

After the war, the setting sun is like blood, offering sacrifices to all the dead souls.

After cleaning the battlefield, the two thousand and eight captives were divided into seven groups for management, and then Chujiang Qitai and Duan Hongchen each took back their soldiers, and those who had a good understanding didn't communicate with each other first.Xu Qing

Duan Hongchen met outside the city.

When they met, the two sides only brought five or six followers, in order to avoid a difficult problem in etiquette.One is the King of Dark River and the other is King of Bohai Sea. When the two kings meet, who should worship whom?One is a landlord and the other is an old leader, so who should invite whom to "dinner"?
Both were smart enough to avoid this embarrassing question.In front of a few cronies, then no one worships anyone.Worship is not worship, but the address must not be less:

"Dark River King..." Duan Hongchen said, and Xu Qing also said at the same time:

"The King of Bohai..."

The two nodded, it was considered as the end of the pleasantries, Xu Qing continued: "I'm not late, am I?"

After Xu Qing annihilated Goguryeo's reinforcements, he eliminated the future troubles and immediately transferred troops to support Duan Hongchen.When they moved to the vicinity, they found that the coalition forces of the three small countries were in disarray, so they attacked decisively, forming a pincer attack with Duan Hongchen.

Duan Hongchen laughed loudly, strode up to Xu Qing and said, "It's just in time!" Xu Qing also smiled, and Duan Hongchen continued: "As expected of being the King of the Underworld, he unexpectedly came to you without anyone noticing. Killed their leader, tsk tsk, why didn't I think of that?"

Xu Qing waved his hands, and stopped talking about the battle, but said: "It seems that you have changed a lot since you returned to Liaodong..." Duan Hongchen was more like a taciturn monk before, but now he looks like a calm and bold general.

Duan Hongchen put away his overjoyed expression, only smiled and said: "It's home..."

Xu Qing understood that after living in a foreign country for decades, he would naturally not be too extroverted, and loneliness would form a habit.

Chatting and chatting, we talked about the changes in the dark river, and heard that the dark river suffered a catastrophe, Duan Hongchen sighed, and then comforted Xu Qingdao, now that the dark river has been reborn from the ashes, Xu Qing was also very emotional, nodded, now The dark river is much stronger than before, it is indeed a phoenix nirvana.

"Where's Xu Qi?"

Duan Hongchen remained silent, and cast a mysterious glance behind Xu Qing, before Xu Qing could turn his head, he heard "Smelly Xu Qing".Then, a small figure rushed over, and then Xu Qing felt a huge pain in his arm.

It turned out that Xu Qi had stood behind Xu Qing long ago, waiting for Xu Qing to mention her. She didn't expect Xu Qing and Duan Hongchen to mention her after so long. She was so angry that she bit Xu Qing's arm superior.

At this time of hot weather, Xu Qing only wore half of his arm, and this bite left a row of teeth marks.And Xu Qi took a bite, but she still didn't intend to let go, Xu Qing couldn't bear the pain, she was quick to wit, and said:

"Xu Qi, don't bite, my arm was injured, if you bite me again, it will break."

The words came out of Xu Qing's mouth and entered the ears of those present. Others knew that Xu Qing was teasing Xu Qi, but Xiaoyue's face turned red because she heard the sentence "If you bite me again, I will die."

On the other hand, Xu Qi hurriedly let go of Xu Qing, held Xu Qing's arm, and said with a worried and distressed expression: "Ah? I'm hurt, where is it!"

Xu Qing saw "get out of the tiger's mouth", quickly took out his hand, jumped aside, rubbed his hand gently, looked at his several guards, meaning someone attacked me, why don't you make a sound, don't live up to it!The guards hurriedly explained: "This is the eldest lady, we recognize it, we recognize it..."

In the past, when Xu Qi was at home, she had such a fight with Xu Qing. The guards were used to it, so Xu Qing could only shake her head, and then looked at Xu Qi warily.Xu Qi realized at this moment that she couldn't bear it when she felt that she had been tricked. She rushed to bite her again, but Xu Qing grabbed her and hugged her.

Xu Qing weighed Xu Qi and said:

"Little girl, it's a lot heavier~"

"Let go, bad Xu Qing, smelly Xu Qing, let go!"

"I can let go, you have to promise not to bite me."

"Okay, okay, stop biting, stop biting, it stinks, who wants to bite you?"

"Smelly? Where does it stink?" Xu Qing smelled his body, but he didn't know if he didn't smell it specially, but after smelling it, Xu Qing almost vomited out what he ate in the morning.

Seeing Xu Qing deflated, Xu Qi smiled and jumped out of Xu Qing's "embrace".Then I saw Huang Shimei who was disguised as a man, pointed at her and said, "Huh? Xu Qing, is this the new maid? I haven't seen it before..."

Although Xu Qi said so, her small face was full of resentment, and everyone knew that Xu Qi was asking the question knowingly.She knew that the one who could accompany Xu Qing all the way here must not be an ordinary woman, let alone a servant girl.

Xu Qing smiled awkwardly, and replied: "She is your third sister-in-law..." Xu Qi said in her letter last time that she would marry Xu Qing when she said goodbye. Be her sister.Huang Shimei is Xu Qing's wife, so naturally she is Xu Qi's sister-in-law.

Xu Qi raised her head and said stubbornly: "What is the third sister-in-law, I want to call her sister!"

Xu Qing looked at Duan Hongchen, found that he didn't care, so he put a horizontal line on his chest, and said to Xu Qi: "Oh, when you grow to this height, let's talk about this..."

"What about sister Xue'er?"

"She's having a baby..."

"What? Children, boys and girls, what's their name?"

"It's my younger brother, Xu Wen..."

"What brother, I want to see your uncle? No, no, he is me..." Xu Qi didn't know who Xu Wen should be, so she said, "How did you get the name Xu Wen? Really Irresponsible..."

"Uh, it was given by the emperor, and I can't help it..."

"The emperor is really irresponsible...Huh? Why don't I name him Mohe?"

"what ever……"

"Call it, chirp quack..."

……

After talking about these gossips, Xu Qing hurriedly ordered someone to find a big wooden bucket, fetch cool well water to wash him well, and changed into clean clothes.Then, gather the soldiers and hand over the captives and spoils to Duan Hongchen.Counting your own army again, there are only 20 people who can fight.Among the trophies, there were more than [-] horses and many mules and donkeys, which Xu Qing kept for himself.Horses can transform dozens of cavalry, and mules can transport wounded soldiers to the ship on the coast.

After finishing all this, Xu Qing slapped his head, by the way, why didn't he take advantage of it?
So I consulted with Duan Hongchen, and the two hit it off, the two armies merged into one, and more than 2000 people were reorganized and captured. A total of [-] people opened their sharp teeth to the remaining three small countries.

Those ordinary soldiers were coaxed and tricked into joining the army, and it has nothing to do with them where they fight.Furthermore, after the split of the Bohai Sea, the lives of the people in Liaodong were extremely difficult. They saw it, and naturally thought about returning to the Bohai Sea period.After Duan Hongchen continued his righteous words, he immediately moved the prisoners.Duan Hongchen put down a sentence, those who are willing to regain their homeland with me, join the army, and those who are not, as long as you lay down your weapons, you can regain your freedom, and if you become an enemy, you will definitely kill him.

So more than two thousand people took refuge in Duan Hongchen, and a few hundred people chose to leave.

At this time, Duan Hongchen already had 4000 people in his hands, plus Xu Qing's 2000 people, it was [-] people. This time, it was even stronger than the previous coalition forces of the three small countries.

Without the army of the Three Small Kingdoms, and with the dark river sent by Xu Qing as internal support, Duan Hongchen is almost invincible.

On the first day, Fuyu Kingdom was captured, the King of Fuyu Kingdom was beheaded, and only dozens of people escaped from Duan Hongchen's "clutch".

On the fourth day, Longquan Kingdom was captured, and the king committed suicide. Before committing suicide, all the people in the harem were disposed of by him.

Longquan is the old capital of the Bohai Kingdom. There is a relatively large city, but it is old and not repaired. After the war disaster, it looks even more dilapidated.

On the fifth day, Duan Hongchen officially proclaimed himself king in Longquan Mansion, and designed Longquan as the capital.

On the eighth day, Changling, the last small country, took the initiative to present the head of the city.Voluntary surrender, still have the hatred of killing the father, the hatred of destroying the country, the monarch's family was killed, and the rest of the offspring were punished to do hard labor.

On the ninth day, the entire territory of Bohai State was recovered.Although the area is not as good as that of the Bohai Kingdom in its heyday, it already has the foundation for establishing a country.

Collect the old people of the Bohai Kingdom, and rebuild the city in the capital of the old country - Longquan Mansion.The rest of the people who were unwilling to relocate also gathered together and formed Changling, Dingli, and Nanhai Sanfu.The South China Sea refers to the area near the south of the Liaodong Peninsula.

After the restoration of the country and proclaiming the king, Duan Hongchen appointed all the talents in the territory, whether they were Han people or Mohe people.Also like the Tang Dynasty, there were six ministries in the central government and county magistrates in the localities, but because the country was small, there were no three provinces.

After a little statistics, it is found that there are four major cities in Bohai State, Cangzhou, but the population is only slightly larger than Cangzhou.This is due to the cold climate and less production.In addition, Bohai has a very small childbearing population, more than half of which have to be immigrated from outside. In recent years, the Central Plains have gradually flattened, while Bohai has become chaotic, resulting in fewer people migrating, so the population of Bohai is so withered.In normal times, there are still two Cangzhou people in Bohai State.

Xu Qing did not show up at the court of the Bohai Kingdom, and the army was temporarily placed in Duan Hongchen's hands.

After the restoration of the country and becoming the king, Duan Hongchen still has a lot of things to do. First of all, the dilapidated capital city needs to be repaired on a large scale.Instead, we must always be alert to attacks from the Xi people in the north and the Goguryeo people in the east.

Of course, the reinforcements from Goguryeo have been wiped out by Xu Qing, so don't worry, but the Goguryeo people can't prevent the wolf ambitions from raising troops again.

Good opportunities are given to those who are prepared, and crises are bypassed by those who are prepared.

Fortunately, Duan Hongchen had made a lot of preparations in advance to defend against the enemy. The Bohai Kingdom was just about to gain a foothold, and faced a challenge. Three thousand cavalry from the Xi clan came!
