Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the night of August 14th. Although Yizhou, Hebei is a border city, it is already early to prepare for the festival before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The red lanterns on the long street were hung up early, and some wooden shelves on the lantern market were half built.

In the past few years, the weather has been smooth, and the season just after the harvest, from officials to Li people are ready to celebrate the festival.

A young military commander on the north city tower held the hilt of the knife in his hand, slowly pacing back and forth behind the female wall, and returned to reunite with his family only after the value came. His eyes looked at the brightly lit market in the city.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a very unusual muffled noise, and hurriedly turned his head and looked outside the city. The moonlight was cold, and the earth was dark, with only dappled lights in the distance.

The general frowned and stared into the distance.

Suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, a war horse galloped down to the city, and the knight on the horse raised his head and shouted, "Liao army is invading!"

The general was horrified, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "Beat the drum! Prepare for war! Send someone to report to the army immediately!"

In an instant, black lacquered shadows surging up and down under the moonlight, large swathes of horse soldiers rushed to the gate of the city! The horse's hoof seemed to be entangled with something, and the sound was very small, and the dull sound of the horse's hoof was becoming clearer and clearer when it was close.

"Boom, boom..." The war drum on the city wall rang.

At this moment, the military commander heard a movement and suddenly found a group of horses in Wengcheng going straight to the gate of Wengcheng. He asked loudly: "Which horse?"

As soon as the voice fell, the group of black shadows on horseback had rushed into the city gate, and there was a sound of "ding ding bang bang" inside the city gate, screaming everywhere. The general's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly drew his sword and led people to rush towards the stone steps of the upper city, shouting for reinforcements.

But it was too late, the dark shadows quickly opened Weng to go out, and then cut off the chains of the suspension bridge with an axe. With a "bang" the suspension bridge slammed down straight, and a group of horsemen rushed towards the city gate frantically!

As soon as the cavalry group passed through the city, it was too late for the defenders of the Zhou army to resist, and a large number of cavalry split their troops and attacked the city.

The brightly-lit streets immediately went into chaos, and things happened very suddenly, with screams and horseshoes chaotically.

...

The majestic Tokyo imperial city, a layer of milky white mist shrouded in the pavilions and halls in the early morning, like Qiong Palace. The sound of bamboo silk came out from the main hall, a scene of prosperity and wealth.

At the palace banquet, Guo Shao and Fu Ermei sat in the upper positions. The concubines, ministers of civil and military affairs, and the wife of the imperial court came forward to meet in order. The musicians sitting on the wall were singing and playing with joy.

When Cao Bin returned to Beijing, Guo Shao hosted a banquet to celebrate him. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The banquet was very lively and gathered the most powerful and wealthy people in Tokyo.

Empress Fu Ermei has a smile on her face and her eyes are like a crooked moon, making people look very comfortable. However, Guo Shao still slightly regretted that Fu Jinzhan was unable to attend this banquet. The emperor and empress are sitting here, although Fu Jinzhan has the honorary title, but she is the first emperor and the empress is a bit difficult to find a position, so she simply can't come.

On the contrary, it was Taizu's noble lady Zhang who came to the banquet. She has been in Wanfu Palace for many years. This is the first time she has returned to the front hall to participate in such a big banquet. Her nephew Cao Bin is the most eye-catching rookie at the banquet today.

There were a lot of people at the banquet, but everyone who could participate had an identity. After meeting the emperor and empress, everyone politely found their place while greeting and paying attention to the people around them. Everyone looked at the young concubine from time to time, and paid much attention to her without saying anything. No one knows whether Concubine Zhang was tainted by his grandson Cao Bin or Cao Bin was tainted by the young and beautiful concubine Zhang ......After all, Cao Bin no matter how capable he was, he was originally one of many generals, and he might not have the opportunity to lead a 100,000 army to the south.

Concubine Zhang Taigui has been away from the front hall and the noble circle for too long. Everyone didn't talk to her, mainly because she was unfamiliar and didn't know what to say. If she said something wrong, she was just plain suspicious. Zhang was dressed up today and put on a gown. She was beautiful everywhere. She was also silent, but she sat upright, with a smile on her face, not crying.

…At this time, the young general Dong Zunhao brought his mother Gao clan to the ceremony. Gao clan was appointed his wife, so he was invited to the banquet. Before Guo Shao received the gift, he nodded to indicate that it was all right. Now he immediately asked: "How well is Sister Yi recently?"

Gao's knees bent slightly and said, "Thank you, your concubine is fine."

Guo Shao felt a little sour. He has been entangled in everything for a while, and he hasn't seen her for a long time, plus there is no reasonable reason to see Gao. Guo Shao looked at Gao Clan. She was still plump and dignified, as if she had not changed much. Today, she is even more glamorous and beautiful. Every woman who went to the banquet has been carefully dressed.

Gao clan also makes people feel a bit pitiful. She has been separated from her relatives. She was abducted by the Khitan before and could not see her son, and now she cannot recognize her own daughter. People like Gao with noble status have been robbed by the Khitan people, which is really uncomfortable.

Guo Shao couldn't help but tell Dong Zun: "General Dong, the whole life of Tang will be bumpy, you have to be filial."

Dong Zunzuo hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "At the end, I will follow the instructions of your majesty."

After Dong Zunjiao and Gao clan held the ceremony, they took their seats separately.

Guo Shao turned his head and glanced, focusing on Jingniang who was wearing a round-neck purple robe. Jingniang walked over quietly and bent down beside Guo Shao. Guo Shao whispered: "After the banquet, you take Mrs. Dong to visit Yulian and let him see Princess (Guo) Jinsuo."

Jingniang said blankly, "Here."

At this moment, the official sang: "Cao Bin, the general of the Five-Army Capital and General Marshal of Soldiers and Horses in the World!"

One part of this banquet ~www.readwn.com~ is Cao Bin's celebration banquet. Everyone turned their heads and looked out the door. Cao Bin, a man in uniform with high spirits and blushing face, strode in, and heard the deputy envoy of the Privy Council Wei Renpu smile and said, "Congratulations, Dashuai Cao for his victory!"

Cao Bin arched his hands to the left and right, and walked under the dragon chair with a big seal wrapped in red cloth in both hands. He simply knelt down on one knee and held up the big seal and said: "The minister pays homage to your majesty, the queen. The purpose of the Southern Expedition, and finally fulfilled His Majesty’s trust, defeated the Southern Han Kingdom, and returned to the imperial victoriously. Now we return the seal of the Marshal of the World Soldier and Horse.

The **** went down and took the seal.

Guo Shao complimented him and gave a reward on the spot with a silver ribbon, a scabbard inlaid with precious stones and gold, and a brocade robe for Cao Bin to wear in public. Everyone congratulated him, Cao Bin's face was red, and he greeted his colleagues with a fist, and the hall was beaming.

Cao Bin prayed to the superior again: "The minister captured Liu Jixing, the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty... and Fan Huo, the national teacher of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the minister agreed to take her to meet the saint."

Guo Shao said, "Send them in."
