Han Bi stood silently at the top of the city for a long time.
Then he entered the palace and asked to see the emperor.
"Yezhou fell in three days!"
Han Bi lowered his head, "I am incompetent!"
His calculation was wrong.
This makes subsequent deployment somewhat passive.
"Three days?"
Nian Xu said calmly: "Actually, I came to this realization after my envoy was expelled by the Northern Xinjiang Army."
"Your Majesty, the civil-military war should end. At least, it should stop now."
Han Bi said sincerely: "At this time when the life and death of the Great Zhou Dynasty is at stake, I believe that we should put aside our past grudges and join forces to defend against the enemy."
Nian Xu looked at him, smiled and said, "I am very relieved that Han Qing thinks so. Come here."
"His Majesty!"
The attendant stepped forward.
"Gather the ministers and assistants."
Later, the king and his ministers gathered together.
"Yezhou fell in three days!"
Nian Xu said calmly: "I have almost failed to understand the map these days. Now I know without thinking that the Northern Xinjiang Army is getting closer and closer to Bianjing. The only barrier is the three states. If Yezhou is broken in three days, then , how long can the Golden State and other three states hold on?”
Fang Chong has returned. Before entering the city, he learned that his words and deeds in Qinghe were leaked, so he immediately went to the palace to plead guilty and said something...
——I just want to show off the prestige of Zhou Dynasty. Who would have thought that the King of Qin was deliberately planning to conquer the south?
The implication is that I just hit the point of the gun. Even if I don't say anything, King Qin will still find excuses to go south.
Everyone knows this truth.
But that’s not how officialdom settles scores.
As long as you are there when something happens, you are responsible.
Nian Xu really wanted to drive Fang Chong away, but he knew that expelling Fang Chong at this moment would inevitably trigger a series of changes.
Subsequently, there will be renewed turmoil between North Korea and China.
When the Northern Xinjiang army marched south in a large scale, neither Zhou nor he could afford to make trouble.
Fang Chong was deprived of his rank, fined 100,000 yuan, and stripped of one of his official titles. This was regarded as meritorious service.
"Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to contain it."
Conservative elders have been gathering frequently recently to discuss the current war situation. They came to the conclusion that Yezhou cannot be defended, and in the end it will have to rely on Jinzhou and other three states to protect Bianjing.
Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the defense forces of Jinzhou and other three states.
Reinforcements are necessary.
Another one is to send troops to contain the Northern Xinjiang Army.
This plan was quite satisfactory, and what was even more rare was that Fang Chong did not take the opportunity to attack Han Bi for his misjudgment, which made Nian Xu feel slightly happy.
But then I felt a little sad again.
The rules of the elderly family are that there must be several groups of people in the court. Whether these groups are just for show or they are really full of contradictions, they must be in opposition.
In this way, the emperor's position was stable.
If Fang Chong and others join forces with Han Bi and others... this idea flashed in Nian Xu's mind.
Peng Jing said: "It's just that from now on, you should be lenient to the enemy."
This is a mockery of Han Bi. He was the only one among the prime ministers who knew how to fight, but he misjudged the situation of the war.
Nian Xu felt relieved, but then became a little troubled. He felt that such confrontation made it impossible for Zhou Dynasty to work together to deal with foreign enemies.
This is how people look at Shu from long distances.
Han Bi's face looked slightly cold, which was a sign of anger, but in the end he held it back.
Han Bi has the power to control the situation!
I was wrong in the past.
Nian Xu was thinking at this moment that if Han Bi were to be the chief assistant, the situation in the DPRK would be better.
But I can't move at this moment.
Just wait for this battle to end!
Nian Xu secretly made up his mind.
"Three Days to Yezhou, this is King Qin's response to the Great Zhou Dynasty. How long can Yezhou, Jinzhou and other places sustain it in three days? When the troops from Northern Xinjiang approach Bianjing City, who can resist?"
Han Bi said: "This is a morale-destroying battle!"
King Qin called it psychological warfare.
"Da Zhou must respond."
Han Bi said loudly: "Standing blindly will only increase the prestige of the Northern Xinjiang Army. I think we should contain it!"
"The army is attacking?" Peng Jing asked.
"No, partial teacher!"
Everyone was silent for a while.
Even ministers who don't know anything about martial arts know that using partial troops to contain someone is committing suicide.
Everyone looked at Nian Xu.
The Emperor of Zhou was silent for a moment and nodded.
…
Five thousand cavalry set out.
Outside the city, altars of wine and wine were lined up.
Big bowls full of fine wine.
"This is the royal wine of the palace!"
Han Bi said.
These cavalrymen knew before setting off that they would never return. At this moment, they dismounted and gave each of them a large bowl of wine.
He drank the wine and smashed the big bowl at his feet.
Turn around and kowtow to Bianjing City.
"Yes, mother, farewell, my child!"
Han Bi closed his eyes and felt his nose sore for the first time in a long time.
"Isn't it possible not to go?" behind him, a civil servant trembled.
We ask ourselves, if we knew that we were going to die, who could be so calm?
At this moment, several civil servants were moved.
"This is a response to inform the army and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and to inform the people of the world that I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have brave warriors who are not afraid of death, and ministers who are willing to die for the emperor..."
The soldiers mounted their horses.
"I have an unyielding soul!"
Han Bi's knees went weak.
Kneel down.
"Have a good journey!"
The civil servants were shocked.
But those soldiers who were about to die surrendered their hands on horseback.
"Xiang Han, please remember to bring back the soul of me!"
"Okay!" Han Bi said tremblingly.
"Set off!"
The news that Han Bi knelt to send off five thousand cavalry reached Nian Xu's ears.
He was silent for a long time, looking in the direction of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and asked in their hearts: "Forefathers and clans, the Nian clan has suppressed warriors for hundreds of years, right?"
…
Five thousand cavalrymen crossed Yingshui, the last barrier in Bianjing.
On the second day, they met Wang Laoer's cavalry.
"Business is coming, second brother!"
The fat elder said happily.
"kill!"
Wang Laoer is currently planning to buy a gift for A Liang and is saving money.
It stands to reason that even if the Southern Zhou cavalry has more troops, it should be withdrawn.
This is customary.
But these five thousand horsemen rushed over in a neat formation.
“Good business!”
Wang Laoer encountered more than ten groups of scouts from the Southern Zhou Dynasty in the past two days, but they all ran away when they saw him. This time, someone actually took the initiative to attack, which made him extremely happy.
But as soon as he came into contact, he almost suffered a big loss.
He prepared to kill his opponent with a knife, but his opponent refused to dodge and struck out with all his might.
It’s okay for you to chop me to death, I just want to chop you with a knife!
Wang Laoer's sword was faster and he killed his opponent first.
Then the second opponent did the same thing.
No matter what, it's just a knife.
Come on!
Kill me!
This momentum immediately suppressed the Northern Xinjiang Army.
…
The army is resting in Yezhou, waiting to attack.
King Qin took a break from his busy schedule and took his son around the city dressed in casual clothes.
"Your Highness!"
Han Ji came in a hurry.
Prince Qin and his son, who were watching the puppet show, turned around regretfully.
"The second one is defeated!"
"What?"
Wang Laoer was defeated.
He led more than 2,000 rangers to attack, but was chased away like a duck by 5,000 Southern Zhou imperial troops.
"Those Imperial Guards are not afraid of death, and I can't bear them."
"Is there any ancient She who is so brave and not afraid of death?" King Qin asked.
"have!"
Han Ji looked solemn.
"Did they run away?" King Qin felt a little regretful.
"No, I chased you all the way."
…
The king of Qin led his army to attack.
Logically speaking, there was no need for him to take part in such a killing of thousands of people, but he was a little curious and wanted to see how crazy this enemy army was.
Less than ten miles away, they saw the embarrassed Wang Laoer and his men.
"Your Highness, those are a bunch of lunatics!"
Except for the early years when he, King Qin, and the old thief were intercepted and killed by good hands, this was the most embarrassing time for Wang Lao Er.
"Really? Let me see you!"
King Qin raised his hand.
Behind him, the infantry marched forward in formation.
In the distance, enemy cavalry appears.
They reined in their horses.
"You want to withdraw!" someone said.
King Qin did not move.
This is resting!
A quarter of an hour later, the enemy troops moved.
More than four thousand cavalrymen were still lined up in neat formations and singing loudly.
The singing is powerful.
"Your Highness, this is the military song of the Southern Zhou Dynasty." Tu Chang said with some regret: "My ancestors sang this song loudly and rushed towards the enemy. The Southern Zhou army at that time... was so fierce.
Fear of death."
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Han Ji said: "Is there any means?"
The Northern Xinjiang Army on both sides has already surrounded them.
King Qin shook his head, "This is seeking death."
"After three days in Yezhou, the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were horrified. This... I thought, this was to use the heroic sacrifice of five thousand cavalry to frighten our army and stimulate the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Zhou Dynasty." Pei Jian frowned, "I don't know.
Whose method is it?"
"Only Han Bi!" King Qin had an in-depth understanding of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty before the war, and was deeply impressed by Han Bi.
"Crossbow arrows... let go!"
Dense crossbow arrows flew past, and among the accelerating Southern Zhou cavalry, some people kept falling off their horses.
The men and horses were screaming, but the remaining cavalry still sang military songs with their heads held high and rushed towards the formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
After taking another round of crossbow arrows, they finally closed in on their opponents.
At this moment, the speed of the war horse increased to its fastest.
The spear lay flat!
There is pride in his eyes.
"We are waiting for Dazhou to support the Japanese army!"
puff!
These cavalrymen collided in front of the spear formation, and the men and horses flew out. The Northern Xinjiang Army was not much better, and two consecutive rows of formations were overwhelmed.
"kill!"
The following spearmen fought hard to draw out their guns.
The two wings were outflanked and the encirclement began.
But the Imperial Guard cavalry still charged in regardless.
The shouts resounded through the wilderness, and the Forbidden Army cavalry rushed towards Lin Li's spears one after another. Even if they were hung on the spears, they would still claw at them with open teeth; even if they fell to the ground, they would still crawl towards their opponents...
That look!
It's all crazy!
"Your Highness, do you want to attack?" Pei Jian asked.
More than ten thousand cavalrymen have surrounded this forbidden army from all sides, and they can be strangled with just one order from the King of Qin.
King Qin calmly looked at the imperial troops who were charging and killing.
"No."
The remaining two thousand forbidden troops fell one by one in front of the formation under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Northern Xinjiang Army.
When he died, no one begged, no one asked for surrender.
When the last Custodian fell, there was silence.
"I hope you can learn something from this battle." King Qin said, "Don't underestimate the enemy!"
This is why he did not order a combined attack.
He needs to make his subordinates more vigilant.
"Your Highness, you are supporting the Japanese army!" A general came over to report.
"This is the elite of the Forbidden Army." Jiang He'er said: "They are dedicated to guarding the imperial city, and their number is only ten thousand. Half of them were lost this time."
"I feel a sense of pride!" Han Ji rarely praised: "It is indeed a powerful force in the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"What is the status of such warriors in the Southern Zhou Dynasty?" He Lianrong asked.
