Chapter 29: Fenglangjuxu
Luoyang.
In Yang Ci's mansion.
Several important officials of the imperial court gathered together to discuss how to reprimand Youhou Zhang Jue.
This guy sent out troops without the order of the court. In the eyes of these ministers, this was an act of treason. Even if he defeated the Tuoba tribe of the Xianbei people, so what? A traitor who had no moral integrity, won once by chance, and still wanted to seal the Wolf's Lair ?
Yang Ci drank his tea slowly and said slowly: "They say he is warmongering and wants to cause a war between two countries for a small grudge. This crime is definitely not something he can bear!"
Liu Kuan on the side also nodded and said, "Without the permission of the imperial court , they privately started a war with the Xianbei people. What good would it do to defeat a Tuoba tribe? If the Xianbei army invades the border, a small Youzhou will not be able to resist it. By then, people will suffer and the imperial court will have to clean up their mess!"
Zhang Ji agreed and said, "What the commander said is absolutely right. As the saying goes, a lack of patience can ruin a great plan. Years of natural disasters are the right time to rest and recuperate. But now is the time to start a war with a foreign race and stir up hatred between the two countries. Zhang Jiao is really abominable."
"What's even more hateful is that those ignorant people were actually bewitched by it, thinking that this was to enhance the prestige of our Han country. Is the conspiracy between the two countries so simple?"
Chen Shi sighed, "It's a pity that the current emperor was deceived by the traitor and didn't know the priorities. He trusted him only after getting a small profit. There must be those eunuchs who were deceiving him. He really harmed the country. If he waited until Youzhou was invaded by the Xianbei army and the people were devastated, it would be too late to regret it!"
"You are all pillars of the country and wise ministers of the Han Dynasty. You must not watch that villain do whatever he wants. You must find a way to discipline him!"
At this time another person spoke up. It was Liu Tao, whose courtesy name was Ziqi. He was from Yingyin, Yingchuan . He was a descendant of Liu Bo, the King Zhen of Jibei and the second son of Liu Chang, the King Li of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Tao is currently serving as the Imperial Censor. After everyone finished speaking, he slowly spoke, "I think it's a bit inappropriate to reprimand him now. It's better to wait until he gets into trouble at the border, and then we can take action. By then, we can do more."
Just as everyone was discussing how to deal with the Taiping Dao, a servant from Yang Ci's mansion came to the study with the latest official newspaper and knocked on the door.
"Master, master, something big has happened!" the servant said hurriedly outside the door .
"Why are you so panicked? What happened?" Yang Ci walked over and looked at the boy with a frown.
The servant bowed his head and handed over the report with both hands, "Master, you will know it after reading it."
"The latest court bulletin?" Yang Ci frowned and took a look. When he saw the title, his eyes widened: "How is this possible?"
"What's the matter?" Liu Kuan asked.
"What does the official newspaper say?" Liu Tao was a little curious.
"Could it be that the Taiping Dao has finally rebelled?" Chen Shi asked excitedly.
"No, come and watch it together." Yang Ci said with a serious expression.
Yang Ci placed the official report on the desk. Several ministers gathered around and saw the title on it: [Another great victory! The Youzhou Taiping Army swept through the Xianbei tribes! Conquer the Wolf's Lair! ]
“This... ? This can’t be true!” Liu Kuan couldn’t believe it at all.
"He really was allowed to conquer the Wolf and the Lair?" Zhang Ji's eyes widened.
"In just a few days, the Xianbei were destroyed?" Chen Shi's breath was choked and he felt a little dizzy. He couldn't believe that this was true.
"With just the power of Youzhou, you can sweep away all the Xianbei tribes?" Liu Tao was completely stunned.
"This must be fake news, right?" Liu Kuan asked hurriedly.
Yang Ci shook his head solemnly and said, "Didn't you see this court report? Whose newspaper is it from?"
The producer of this newspaper is Zhengyi Dao. On the fairy mountain of Zhengyi Dao, there are many immortals practicing.
Similar to this is the Confucian holy land of Mount Ni, where many powerful saints and sages practiced cultivation and basically ignored worldly affairs.
These terrifying beings may not have a strong presence among the common people, but once you reach their position, you will know how unfathomable these immortal sects are.
Since this official newspaper comes from Zhengyi Dao, it cannot be fake!
But the news was true, which made them even more upset.
The reason for reprimand that I had originally thought of was gone now.
Fenglangjuxu and the great defeat of Xianbei, this achievement made them have no reason to attack Taipingdao anymore! Instead, they had to pinch their noses and reward them greatly!
They are clearly a group of traitors, what on earth are they doing?
With the power of one state, sweeping across the Xianbei?
How is this done?
…
How to do it is naturally very simple.
With the experience of the last raid on the Tuoba tribe, Su Che's Taiping Army brought back the spoils and set off immediately after a brief rest. Within seven days, they fought across two thousand miles and swept through the Murong, Yuwen, Qifu, Tufa and other tribes.
After raiding a tribe, they left only a few people to guard the spoils, and then set out again without stopping, carrying simple baggage and a group of Xianbei cavalry, to rush towards the next target.
The battle went smoothly, with more and more soldiers and horses arriving. In the end, there were more than 50,000 cavalrymen, and each man was equipped with three horses to ensure absolute mobility and combat effectiveness.
Fight to the end.
Seeing that the soldiers and horses were strong and their momentum was even greater, Su Che knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he went straight to attack the Xianbei leader's tribe!
The battle lasted for a day and a night, and finally the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai was killed by Su Che with a sword.
This battle directly wiped out the Xianbei people, leaving only a few small Xianbei tribes that could not make any difference.
To be honest, Su Che did not expect that the Xianbei people were so weak, but on second thought, it was normal.
The Xianbei were not the Huns of the past. In Su Che's parallel world, the Xianbei were defeated during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han. During the reign of Cao Cao, with only one-third of the Han national strength, he was able to defeat the Xianbei and force them to submit to him.
In this parallel world, it was normal for these Xianbei people to be defeated by the invincible Taiping cavalry.
After defeating the Xianbei, Su Che became rich instantly. Millions of cattle and sheep, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people, and large quantities of supplies were moved back to Youzhou for free. The time spent on transporting these supplies and migrating the population was much longer than the duration of the battle.
On the way, Su Che also went to Taihang Mountain and subdued the Taihang Mountain Red Dragon.
In the first week, Su Che spent a lot of time and effort to subdue the red dragon of Taihang Mountain.
But this time, when he came here with 80,000 cavalry, Chi Jiao was so scared that he trembled, thinking that it was about to die.
Afterwards, Su Che briefly explained his purpose, and Chi Jiao surrendered immediately.
Its attitude was much better than in the first round. It kept calling Su Che "Human King" and "Dao Zun" on the left and right. How could it be like a dragon? Instead, it looked like a dog licking its own dog!
