The Great Han Dynasty no longer had a royal teacher.
This was the most sorrowful and desperate sentence of the middle-aged man.
However, the little girl did not understand. Her big black eyes were filled with confusion and confusion.
"Whoosh!"
All of a sudden, a fiery light illuminated the ruins.
A Xianbei archer poked his head through the broken wall and looked at the little girl ferociously!
"Beat you!"
The little girl was afraid.
However, he suddenly picked up a piece of soil from the ground and threw it at Xianbei Control String.
With a swoosh, an arrow pierced through Xianbei Kongxian's neck.
Dirt also fell on his body, accompanied by splashing blood. His corpse lay limply on the broken wall.
It looked like a person was crushed to death by mud.
"Father!"
"Aunt!"
"I killed him!" the little girl exclaimed in surprise."We're no longer afraid of him stealing our food!"”
The middle-aged man was terrified. He quickly covered the little girl's mouth and nose and said with a trembling voice,"Someone's coming, don't say anything!”
On the broad road of Licheng.
Zhao Yun put away her longbow and rode over with a thousand cavalry. Looking at the Xianbei archer who had been shot to death, she said indifferently,"A hundred of you will form a team and search for the fire. If you find any Xianbei cavalry, kill them without mercy!”
"Here!"
A thousand valiant cavalry instantly dispersed.
The sound of iron hooves galloping resounded throughout Li City.
"Pa da!"
Zhao Yun jumped off her horse and pulled the Xianbei bow with her sword. She said in a deep voice,"They are indeed Xianbei people. They are so close to us and don't want to escape Bing Province. Instead, they stayed here to plunder the people.”
"General!"
"I heard that Xianbei people are extremely fierce at controlling the bowstrings. This is the first time I've seen it!"”
Zhao Yun shook her head and sneered." They are fierce because they have more cavalry. Once they encounter our army, they will flee in all directions. Our main force will not be able to chase after them. This is also one of the reasons why cavalry is more important than infantry at the border!”
"Then…"
The young general wanted to continue asking.
Zhao Yun pulled out her sword, and the tip of the sword pierced through the mud wall. She said warily,"Come out!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Hundreds of cavalry immediately raised their weapons and raised their bows!
"Don't kill us!"
"We are citizens of Bingzhou!"
The middle-aged man appeared at the broken wall with his family.
The little girl looked at Zhao Yun's face with the help of the fire and mustered up her courage to ask,""Brother, are you the Great Han's Imperial Teacher?”
"No!"
Zhao Yun shook her head and jumped onto the jade lion.
The little girl's eyes dimmed as she said in disappointment,""It's not the royal army. Father is right. The Great Han no longer has a royal army. There are no more border guards in Bing Province.”
"General!"
A general couldn't bear to say.
Zhao Yun pulled the reins and swept her gaze across the family. She said in a deep voice,"We are the Valiant Cavalry Battalion under Lord Ye's command. Today, we have been ordered to recover the nine counties of Bing Province. You can hide somewhere else and come out at dawn.”
"Lord Ye!"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and could not help but ask,"You issued the order to kill Hu?"
"Not bad!"
Zhao Yun put away her sword and said in a low voice," No matter whose subjects you were, Bing Province will be under the jurisdiction of the Ye Marquis's Mansion in the future. There will be people to count your titles in less than a month!”
"Good!"
The middle-aged man nodded.
Zhao Yun looked at the skinny little girl, took off her food and water bag, and threw it on the Xianbei corpse. She smiled and said,"Protect yourself and don't run around in the city. After tonight, there will be no more wars in Li City!”
"Yes!"
The little girl nodded fiercely.
"Giddyup!"
Zhao Yun led the army into the depths of the city.
There were hundreds of people controlling the bowstrings in Li City. This was an order given by Gongsun Jing himself. They had to be wiped out.
The little girl looked at the backs of Zhao Yun and the cavalry, hugging the water bottle and food. Her eyes were filled with yearning as she said,"Father, Aunt, you lied to me. This is our imperial army. They killed the Outsiders and gave us food!”
"Big man!"
"Already dead?"
The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Yun's back, his eyes filled with confusion.
It seemed that Bing Province had been separated from the Great Han Dynasty for too long and they no longer knew what was going on in the court!
However, it didn't matter. In a chaotic world, the change of dynasties was just a change of ruler for them!
One night.
There were killings everywhere in Licheng.
Hundreds of Xianbei archers were all killed in the city.
When the sun rose, the people of Li City walked out of the ruins in fear.
The once prosperous Li City now had less than 2,000 people left, making the city seem desolate and dilapidated.
At noon.
Zhao Yun led the army and left Li City.
The army headed to Xiangyuan, preparing to reclaim the next city.
Five days later, the officials, scouts, and craftsmen sent from the Ye Marquis Manor all entered Li City. They began to count the household registration of the people, repair the houses, divide the fertile fields, plant the spring seeds, and distribute the materials needed for daily life.
At this moment, the people of Li City walked out of their nightmare and saw the real sunlight.
Half a month passed.
The thirteen counties of Shangdang were all recovered.
The thousands of Xianbei archers who were wreaking havoc in the counties were all killed.
He was stationed in the city.
Gongsun Jing and his army entered the city on foot.
The city was dilapidated and desolate, and weeds grew on the city walls.
The thousands of commoners were stunned as they looked at the army that was passing by on the broad road.
When his eyes met the bows and arrows, his body trembled uncontrollably and he began to retreat to avoid the army.
"Them!"
Guo Jia's eyes were filled with sadness.
Du Xi pursed his lips and said bitterly," The walking dead can't see any hope of survival. Their bodies have already developed a subconscious fear of soldiers and crossbows. The fall of three years has completely made them despair. This is Bingzhou!"”
"A county near Luoyang has actually become like this!" Cheng Yu sighed.”
"Stomp!"
Gongsun Jing stopped in front and said in a deep voice,""Zhang He, Zhang Yan, let the army cook meat porridge and help the people repair their houses. Zi Xu, Zhong De, immediately mobilize the officials to rectify Shangdang. What I want is not a dilapidated Bing Province with hopeless people!”
"Here!"
Zhang He, Zhang Yan, Du Xi and Cheng Yu replied.
Gongsun Jing looked at Guo Jia and said," Order the Valiant Cavalry Battalion and the Divine Arms Battalion to take down Taiyuan Prefecture in the shortest time possible. Half a month later, I will lead the army to Taiyuan. Fu Luohan must die, and the Xianbei forces he commands must also die in Bingzhou!”
"Here!"
Guo Jia said respectfully.
The secret report was just words.
Rumors were just rumors.
Only when one truly stepped onto the land of Bingzhou would one know what chaotic times were.
The Outsiders were everywhere, and the commoners were completely plunged into darkness. They couldn't even see life in their eyes. How tragic was this?
Bingzhou had fallen for three years, but it was still so barren.
Then what would happen during the Rebellion of the Eight Princes, when the foreign races trampled the lands of the Xia Empire for decades?
How desperate and sad were the people living in the land of China? Perhaps this was the reason why Ran Min could write the order to kill Hu!
Ten days later.
A large number of officials entered and stayed.
One batch after another of rations were transported over.
Nearly a hundred thousand Jizhou craftsmen were recruited by the Ye Marquis Manor and poured into Shangdang from the official road they had opened up to begin the construction of this dilapidated Bingzhou.
In a military tent.
Du Xi handed over the calculated population and sighed."My lord, Shangdang used to have 120,000 people, but now there are only 50,000. In the past three years, it has lost more than half of its population. Moreover, the city has been completely destroyed, and the people are all alone.”
"Zixu!"
Gongsun Jing closed the document and said in a deep voice,""Money is just a worldly possession. If the people are rich, the country will be strong. I hope that in two years, all parts of Bingzhou will bloom. The faces of the people will be filled with smiles, and their eyes will be filled with longing for the future, not like this!”
"Here!"
Du Xi said respectfully.
"We can easily take down Shangdang!”
"That's because the Eastern Hu never thought of occupying the lives of the prefectures and counties. They have always treated the people of the Great Han Dynasty like livestock!”
" The battlefield that is advantageous for them to control the bowstring is also near the frontier, so the real war has yet to begin. I hope that the garrison will have enough officials, scholars, patrols, and craftsmen to begin the internal affairs after we recover a city!”
Gongsun Jing swept his gaze across his subordinates and said resolutely.
"Here!"
Du Xi bowed.
Gongsun Jing said in a deep voice," Two days later, I will bring Fengxiao, Zhongde, and two battalions to Taiyuan. You will stay in Shangdang to handle the political affairs. After we defeat Fu Luohan, you will bring the officials to Jinyang to build the Prefecture Overseer Manor!”
"Here!"
Du Xi shouted.
Gongsun Jing looked at Zhang Yan and said," After the Xiao Sheng Battalion enters Taiyuan, they will rest for a day and then set off for the West River. The commanders of the White Wave Army are all old Yellow Turban generals. If they can surrender, then surrender. If they can't surrender, then kill the commander!"”
"Here!"
Zhang Yan said firmly.
Gongsun Jing looked at Zhang He and said in a deep voice,""We haven't fought a single battle since the establishment of the Divine Guards Battalion.”
" Yes!" Zhang He agreed." The Donghu tribesmen are behaving like animals. I and the soldiers of the Divine Guards Battalion have long been unable to suppress the killing intent in their hearts!"”
"Good!"
Gongsun Jing nodded and ordered,""After we enter Taiyuan, you will penetrate through Gao Nu of Shangjun from Lishi of the West River. You must drive the Southern Xiongnu out of Shangjun and prevent them from crossing the east of the river and attacking Shangdang!”
"General's command!"
Zhang He shouted.
"Go!"
Gongsun Jing waved his hand.
"Here!"
Du Xi, Zhang He, and Zhang Yan withdrew from the commander's tent.
"My lord, Zilong and Gao Lan have already reached Lang Meng!”
"I reckon that when we reach Jinyang, they will take back the entire Taiyuan County!”
"Although the battle report didn't describe how to recover it, we can confirm that Fu Luohan is retracting the control string in his hand!”
"I'm afraid that we will have a bloody battle with them at Yanmen. As long as we win this battle, whether it's the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, or the White Wave Army, they will be intimidated by our power and retreat!”
"But if we were to lose, I'm afraid that the other forces would all rush into Taiyuan County to attack our main force!”
Guo Jia handed the battle report that Gao Lan had sent back to Gongsun Jing, his eyes shining brightly.
"Ha!"
Gongsun Jing grinned." Yuan Shao and Liu Yu are still undefeated. What is a mere Fu Luohan? The war I want is not to recover the entire Bing Province. I want to make the three Donghu tribes suffer a great loss!”
Cheng Yu's gaze fell on the map and said,""My lord, the battlefield against the Outsiders has never been within the province, but beyond the Great Wall!”
"Not bad!"
Gongsun Jing said confidently.
Guo Jia's eyes were extremely sharp as he said in a deep voice,"The war with the three Donghu clans has yet to truly begin!”
"Soon!"
"Soon!"
Gongsun Jing looked in the direction of Taiyuan and said in a deep voice,""I let Zilong and Gao Lan go first because I was waiting for Fu Luohan and Wuhuan Supuyan to join forces. As long as their armies gather together, we can conquer Bing Province in one battle.”
"Will I?"
Guo Jia and Cheng Yu asked in shock.
Gongsun Jing's eyes were filled with hostility as he said,""If they want to go back to their own palaces to take the blame, they won't join forces. If they want to occupy Bing Province and plunder the people, they will definitely join forces to attack our main force. As long as the people they lead die in Bing Province, Tadun and Bu Dugen will definitely lead their main force to attack Bing Province Fortress!”
Cheng Yu snapped a strand of his beard and said in shock,""Could it be that you want it, my lord?"
"Kengchi!"
Gongsun Jing pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the marshal's arm. He said coldly,""I only have one word for the three Donghu tribes: kill them all. Cut off the heads of the Wuhuan and Xianbei and build the Capital Temple outside the Bingzhou Fortress. Instead of us going to find them, why don't we let Tadun and Budugen lead the two tribes to find us?”
"This is crazy!"
Guo Jia shook his head with a bitter smile.
He wanted to kill Fu Luohan and force Wuhuan Supuyan to retreat.
However, Gongsun Jing wanted the two of them to join forces and kill all of them at Yanmen, then lead Bu Dugen and Tadun to attack Bingzhou Stronghold!
Two days later.
Gongsun Jing led the army to Jinyang.
The news of Bingzhou's Shangdang recovery spread to the four prefectures and caused a huge commotion.
Late March.
Henan Yin, outside Luoyang City.
Lu Bu brought a few hundred soldiers to rest.
After escaping from Chang 'an, they passed through the capital governor, Hongnong Prefecture, and entered Henan governor, all to return to Bingzhou.
After leaving Bing Province for a few years, only a few hundred of the 100,000 Bing Province wolf cavalry remained. They no longer had the qualifications to fight for supremacy in this chaotic world.
"My lord!"
Gao Shun handed the water bag to Lu Bu and said hoarsely,""Guo Si's pursuers have been repelled. After resting in Luoyang for two days, we will be able to lead the army through Hanoi and return to Bingzhou!”
"Haha!"
"Can we go back to Bingzhou?" Lu Bu mocked himself.”
Gao Shun was slightly stunned. He said solemnly," We can go back. Gongsun Changping has issued the order to kill Hu. We can definitely return to Bingzhou!"”
"I can't go back!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.
Lu Bu picked up the Heavenly Halberd and looked warily at the people behind Gao Shun. He said coldly,""Who are you? Wang Kuang's man, or Guo Si?”
"Neither!"
Chen Gong shook his head and looked at the ruined Luoyang City. He said in a disappointed tone,"Back then, many people yearned for this city because it was the political core of the Great Han Dynasty. Now, it has become a scorched land!”
"Who exactly are you?!"
Lu Bu's face was ferocious and terrifying, and the killing intent in his eyes was everywhere.
