Seven hundred and twentieth chapters Confucian demeanor
Chapter 725: The Style of a Great Confucian
"It took us four days to capture most of Black Rock City. At that time, Yelu Minghui had nearly 200,000 improvised soldiers, plus nearly a million hostile Mandan people. It took two days
It has passed, but we have not yet captured this last position." Standing outside the Mandan Palace, Guan Mozheng, the deputy commander of the Legion of Honor, said with emotion.
At this moment, a bloody voice came from behind: "Guan Mozheng, are you doubting my ability?"
Guan Mozheng was excited, and he quickly bowed and said: "Commander Blood, I don't dare. It's just that the general is a little surprised, why are you so cautious, Commander?"
Yelu Minghui led more than 30,000 remnant troops to retreat to the Mandan Palace. Compared with the still majestic Black Stone City, the Mandan Palace cannot compare with it in terms of defensive strength and wall thickness. And the White Tiger, honor, blood
The killing and Huben army exceeded 200,000 troops, but they stopped here. Not only Guan Mozheng, but also the ordinary soldiers were greatly confused.
Jiang Chenzhou walked behind Xue Sha and snorted coldly and said: "Old manager, just obey Xue Shuai's orders. Naturally Xue Shuai has his own profound intentions."
"Profound? Not really." Xue Sha smiled slightly: "I just don't want the rare treasures and famous calligraphy and paintings inside to be destroyed by the war."
Guan Mozheng was stunned at first, but then he said with great joy: "The bloody commander is still smart, Mandan is no better than those bumpkins like Jinhua Mitsukoshi, there is nothing in the palace except gold, silver and jewelry. Haha, if we can take Mandan's treasury
If you take it all in, it will be better.”
Xue Sha nodded with satisfaction. Yelu Canghai was a very far-sighted politician. He knew very well that to conquer an ancient nation like the Shenzhou Dynasty, it was impossible to rely solely on the strength of force. Therefore, for the Chinese civilization, Yelu Canghai
Canghai has done in-depth research. Of course, with the destruction of Mandan and his fall, these are no longer worth mentioning. However, Yelu Canghai is also a crazy lover of Chinese civilization like Achilles and others. That day
After the Northeastern Three Kingdoms Allied Forces swept across the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, they looted a large number of cultural relics back to the country, and most of the cultural relics fell into the hands of Mandan.
Xue Sha has no special interest in these things, but Tianyi liked them the most during his lifetime. Therefore, every time Xue Sha and others conquer a city, they will send the rare treasures inside to the Holy Capital of Nian Tian. This has formed
This has become a common practice. The current Holy Capital of Niantian contains at least seven layers of rare treasures from the entire Eastern Continent.
While Xue Sha was rejoicing, a sudden fire broke out in the Mandan palace. Xue Sha was shocked and immediately ordered: "Pass this command to the entire army to attack immediately and put out the fire first! You bastard, why are you here now?"
With such a move, if all these things are destroyed in the fire, even if you are dead, I will cramp and skin you!"
There is nothing Yelu Minghui can do about it. There are indeed a lot of gold, silver, jewels, emeralds and pearls in the Mandan palace, but the food reserves are quite limited. Blackstone City has fallen. How can a small palace stop it?
The footsteps of the Hetao army? Yelv Minghui didn't think so, especially after the Hetao sent Yelu Canghai's body to Yelu Minghui, Yelu Minghui finally became completely desperate. Mandan also had Yelu Mingzhuang and Yelu Cang
Of the two Langs, Yelv Ming was too strong to be of much use, and Yelv Canglang was only strong in martial arts. With the strength of the two of them, there was no way they could turn things around.
Under such circumstances, Yelu Minghui also took the risk and simply burned the Mandan Palace on fire, and then led all his troops to fight to the death with Hetao. It would be better to have the jade broken than to be destroyed. This is how Yelu Minghui feels now.
"If it hadn't been for the unexpected rise of our Hetao, the situation in the entire Eastern Continent would have been completely different from what it is now." Luo Xiang said to Xuanji aboard the Qingyun.
"So, sir, do you think, without our Hetao, which force would be most likely to dominate the mainland of China?" Xuanji dropped a white stone on the chessboard and asked with a smile.
"There won't be a situation where one person dominates the mainland in a short time. It should be two heroes standing side by side." Luo Xiang also played a black stone, but just after the black stone fell, he found that his situation on the chessboard was very bad. Luo Xiang was confused.
, and looked sideways, but it was Hao Jin who secretly took away three of his chess pieces. Luo Xiang didn't take it seriously and slapped Hao Jin's little butt with a smile. As a result, Hao Jin didn't buy it and took the chess pieces.
Then he ran to the side to play with Hao An, and Luo Xiang could only laugh it off.
"Qinchuan Li family, Mandan royal family?" Xuanji said.
"Yes. The Qinchuan Li family is indeed full of talents. Not to mention the talented Li Xiaomo, there are also Li Xiaoran, Li Xuancheng, Li Fangcheng, Li Fengcheng and others who are already outstanding generals among the younger generation of the Shenzhou Dynasty. In addition,
Li Tieming's scheming, although there will be some bumps along the way, but sooner or later, the south of the river will fall into the hands of the Li family. As for Mandan, Yelu Canghai is the first-class politician and strategist in the Eastern Continent. Although Bai Jing has
Cassimbas exists, but Cassimbas is old and cannot sustain it for long. If it were not for the rise of our Hetao, the day Cassimbas would die would be when Mandan annexed Baijing."
Xuanji pondered for a moment and said: "What you said is absolutely true. Mandan cannot be underestimated. Although their military does not have good generals, their royal children maintain their due integrity no matter what the circumstances.
But I feel that you, sir, have underestimated the power of one party."
"Are the military advisors talking about Sa Shan or Rou Ran in the Central Continent?" Luo Xiang asked rhetorically.
"Rouran! Although Sashan's national power is strong, there is still a certain distance to compare with Rouran. Moreover, his cult theory will be resolutely resisted by our inherent civilization in China. The most important thing is that Kipchak Khan
A man is as good as a god in his military. Like Cassimbas, he is a peerless general who has never been defeated in a hundred battles in his life. He also has a broad vision and a far-sighted vision. This can be seen from the fact that he gave up being our enemy and went all out to expand westward. Mr.
Don’t forget, Rouran was occupying Jiayuguan at that time, and as long as Sashan cannot cross the bloody plateau, there is no way she can threaten the security of our country." Xuanji said seriously.
Luo Xiang sighed: "The military advisor still brought the topic to this. To be honest, I am afraid that even the lord himself has no idea about Rouran."
Rouran is the overlord on the northwest prairie. Even the most powerful Obsburg Empire in the western continent does not dare to challenge the majesty of Kipchak Khan. Over the years, except for Suganev who has led the imperial army to counterattack Rouran
, has invaded Rouran's territory, and Rouran has always been in a strategically active position.
During the 20 years of Kipchak Khan's rule, Rouran suppressed Qiu Ming in the east, attacked the Western Sashan Region in the south, swallowed up the eastern vassal states of Obsburg in the west, and even extended its power to the far north coast that the Rouran clan had never reached.
In the hands of Kipchak Khan, this ancient nation was completely revitalized with new vitality. Its territory was as vast as that of Qiu Ming and Tie Ying combined, with more than 1.5 million people under its command and 400,000 regular troops.
One and a half million people is not a big number in China or Sashan, but on the vast and sparsely populated prairie, it is completely different. Four hundred thousand string control masters who come and go like the wind, even
The Hetao army, which has experienced hundreds of battles, dare not underestimate it. The most important thing is that Rouran's territory is extremely broad, unlike Tie Ying Qiu Ming, who lost the southern frontier
After they were promoted to the city, they immediately fell into a food crisis. The output of the Rouran prairie could basically support the consumption of 1.5 million people. In addition, Rouran's military success was at its peak. No matter which country it was in,
Expanding in the direction can always grab enough supplies. Therefore, even the Sashan Dynasty, known as the overlord of the Central Continent, is not willing to confront Rouran.
The conflict between Rouran and Hetao began with the capture of Jiayuguan in 619, which led to the fall of the Second Northwest Road of Shenzhou. However, during the period of controlling Anxi Road, Princess Silver Ling Daisler sat here and did not massacre the people below.
Because of the people of Anxi Road, Xia Houming and others now respect Daisler quite a lot.
The key to the matter is that on that day, Sir Jiangliu and others privately led a large army together with Sashan to form a coalition to attack Jiayuguan. In fact, this time it did not cause any harm. It was just a change in Dingzhou. God's will and most of the family members of the high-ranking military and political officials in Hetao died in the battle.
The battlefield made the furious Hetao turn his anger on Rouran, and the army was full of revenge.
"This matter is really difficult to handle. There is no deep hatred between Rouran and us. They are different from Tie Ying Qiu Ming. Although there will definitely be a battle between us, it is just a battle for hegemony involving the status of the two countries. A few days ago
When Feng Shuai talked about this matter with his lord, they mentioned it by the way.
Next. What my lord means is that as long as Rouran voluntarily withdraws from the Western Regions, and never interferes in our war with Tie Ying Qiu Ming and Sa Shan, and ensures that Kipchak Khan will not take a single step into the Shenzhou area by force during his lifetime, there will be no incompatibility between the two sides.
We can coexist peacefully." Luo Xiang said distressedly.
Xuanji smiled. Fengjing's wife Desire's due date was getting closer and closer, and she was expected to give birth in early June at the latest. He Yu had already asked someone to come over and they should be twins, both boys. After learning the news,
Feng Jing was naturally ecstatic, while Luo Xiang Xuanji, Xue Sha Dugu and others frowned secretly.
When God's will was still there, Fengjing was already designated as the pillar to maintain the orthodoxy of China in the border areas in the future. According to the current trend in Hetao, Fengjing will at least be named a hereditary Duke in the future. Daisyer is Fengjing's official wife, and the book
Qin was Fengjing's equal wife, and with Daisy'er giving birth, and Shuqin's belly having been silent since the miscarriage, Fengjing's position in the future would probably fall to Daisy'er's son.
If Daisler was a native Chinese woman, or if her family did not have any power, then there would be no problem. But Daisler is the princess of Rouran, and Rouran is the most powerful empire on the prairie.
Desire and Kipchak Khan have a deep love for each other as brothers and sisters. Who knows if there will be any accidents in the future.
According to Haotian's preference, after learning about this incident, he immediately named Daisier's two sons who were about to give birth, the eldest son Fengyin and the second son Fengyang. Luo Xiang and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. God's will had been there that day.
The first son of Shuqin and Fengjing was named Fengtian. Since Haotian kept this name for Shuqin, it was obvious that Fengjing could also keep the title in the future.
Although Xuanji was a little worried, he looked at Luo Xiang's frown and smiled immediately: "Why should you worry too much, sir? Although Feng Shuai is modest, polite and gentle, he is quite strong in his heart and very independent. He will never tolerate it." Someone among his descendants threatens the safety of the lord. If such a thing really happens, Feng Shuai will definitely not show mercy."
Luo Xiang thought the same thing. Fengjing was Haotian and Tianyi's brother from childhood. His life and everything were given by Haotian and Tianyi. In Fengjing's heart, Tianyi even played the role of mother and god. As a sister, Fengjing will definitely not do anything to harm Haotian.
"Report!" At this moment, a voice sounded outside the carriage.
Xuanji stood up, opened the door curtain and went out. He came back a moment later, his face full of joy: "The Blood Commander has captured the Mandan Palace. The rare treasures in the palace are basically well preserved. Yelu Minghui died in the battle. Blackstone City has all fallen under our control."
Yelu Minghui's death in battle marked the fall of the Mandan dynasty. Although there were still 20,000 to 30,000 strong soldiers and more than 2 million people from Yelu Minghui in the north, this could no longer affect the overall situation. The destruction of the Mandan was already inevitable. It is reversible, even if Yelu Mingzhuang has the power to reach heaven, he cannot save the situation.
"How long will it take for the Eastern Legion to arrive at Black Rock City?" Haotian asked the mystery around him.
"The Eastern Legion has arrived at Jiming Post Road, and it will take at most three days to reach Black Rock City. The Flying Bear Legion has just been formed, and Li Xiaomo is currently conducting basic training and personnel familiarization with it. It is estimated that it will take at least half a month to be able to Go north." Xuanji said methodically.
"Do you have any objections to Li Tiezhan and others transferring personnel from other legions?" Haotian asked. However, his eyes were fixed on the gate of Black Rock City. Although Blood Kill had taken various measures to reduce his own losses as much as possible, However, more than 50,000 soldiers still died in street fighting. But the situation in Mandan was even worse. The army led by Yelu Minghui was completely wiped out. The city had a population of nearly one million, and all the young and strong men who dared to resist were massacred. They were completely exhausted, and more than 300,000 people became prisoners of the Hetao.
Naturally, the Hetao would not be polite to these prisoners. With the order to kill them all, they were pulled to the Gulan area. Lin Yuanke, the bloodiest and most passionate architect in the Hetao, was already waiting here. For those who could not participate in Nara , Jinhua Mitsukoshi and the construction of the Bone Palace in Haixi, Lin Yuanke was quite melancholy, so although he was not able to do it, he still gritted his teeth and came to the outside of the Great Wall. For him, this was of special significance. His family members that day He and his relatives and friends died tragically at the hands of the three Northeastern countries. Now that he finally had a chance to take revenge, he naturally would not sit idly by.
"After Chu Lianfeng arrived at Black Rock City, he was put in charge of the entire battle in the area north of Black Rock City. There were only more than 20,000 soldiers from Yelu Mingzhuang, plus some Mandan people carrying hoes. If Chu Lianfeng even did this If we can't cope with the situation, then the Eastern Legion should also cancel its designation." Haotian said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuewan frowned and whispered: "Husband, Ruoxing..."
Haotian waved his hand to interrupt her and said with a calm expression: "It doesn't matter, since she doesn't want to take up a military position, let her go. When she was appointed chief of staff, she didn't consider her feelings. Don't worry, we I won’t have any other thoughts about your Yanyu Ninghua Palace because of this matter.”
Zhang Yuewan breathed a sigh of relief. Some time ago, Leng Ruoxing privately resigned from the military on the grounds that he was tired of this kind of war with swords and swords, and returned to the Yanyu Ninghua Palace to continue being her head. After all, Zhang Yuewan was Leng Ruoxing's junior sister, so she was worried about Hao
Tianhui will be dissatisfied with Yanyu Ninghua Palace because of this incident. But now it seems that Haotian does not have this intention.
Luo Xiang sighed faintly: "Compared to military and political personnel, people in the Jianghu are much freer. To be honest, I miss the days when I rode horses and sang songs far away. How happy it was."
Dugu laughed loudly: "I think so too, but now it's not bad either. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. He kills millions of people while talking and laughing, and his blood is flowing everywhere. The horse whip points, the soldiers attack, and the country is destroyed, all in a single thought.
.Sir, don’t you think that’s what a good man should do?”
"Why don't you, man, bring Wu Gou and collect the Sixteen Provinces of Youyun? Why should you be afraid of corpses wrapped in horse leather, but you can kill enemy chiefs for China!" Haotian laughed loudly: "The poems composed by Master Lin Taiyue that day were really majestic and passionate, but it's a pity that Master Lin has already
Going far away makes people extremely melancholy."
Luo Xiang comforted him and said: "My lord, why should you be sad? Mr. Lin died a worthy death. The city was about to be destroyed, and he held a three-foot green sword in his hand. Even if his robes were stained with blood, he still refused to retreat. This is the true character of an iron-clad scholar. Chen Han
, Meng Xiaoting, you still need to learn more from Mr. Lin, Lu Qingliu and other old gentlemen."
Chen and Meng looked at each other and could only bow and say yes. Luo Xiang himself was both civil and military, and was the first of the three outstanding talents. He was the number one scholar who was famous all over the world at that time. His talents and learning were naturally extraordinary. He reprimanded the two of them,
The two of them could only be trained. Although they could be regarded as quite famous scholars, no matter how arrogant they were, they did not dare to compare with the four famous scholars of Qingfeng.
Like the four Sima and Angelica, they either serve as officials or hide from the world, but they are all within their own abilities and try their best to benefit the people of the world. If they live high in the temple, they worry about the people. If they are far away from the rivers and lakes.
, then you are worried about your king. The four famous Confucian scholars in Qingfeng interpreted these two sentences vividly. When aliens invaded, the four of them were unyielding and would rather die than surrender.
During the battle between Guanfushi and Hukou, tens of thousands of people drowned themselves in the river that day, causing the river to almost stop flowing.
The allied forces of the Eastern Japanese and the Holy Sect of Paradise attacked Jiangnan. Lu Qingliu personally led three hundred scholars in the college to resist to the death, and eventually burned himself on fire.
The Paradise Alliance soldiers besieged Xuzhou, and Sima Angelica fought side by side with Emperor Yinglie and others. When the Hetao army came to help, he committed suicide by hitting the wall.
Lin Taiyue was the last one to leave among the four. The coalition forces besieged Xuzhou. Lin Taiyue was holding a three-foot sword and his blood was spattered on the tower.
Compared with them, even Luo Xiang himself felt like a firefly, let alone Chen Han and others?
Haotian was also full of emotion: "It is said that slanderous Confucianism harms the country, but from Master Lin and others, we can really see the character and integrity of a great Confucian. It seems that we in Hetao must focus on official studies in the future.
, we cannot always cultivate rotten scholars who only memorize the words of Confucius and Mencius. We should focus more on their participation in the world and apply what they have learned."
Luo Xiang thought for a moment: "Let's let Xiangcheng handle this. He is in Tiandu Shengjing, so it is relatively convenient to get things done."
Haotian thought for a while and felt that this was the best. After all, Chu Xiangcheng was a pure scholar and a great scholar. With him here, he would be able to handle this matter properly. However, Chu Xiangcheng had to be responsible for the entire matter.
Isn’t this too much work for the empire’s government system?
