The first thousand four hundred and sixty-ninth chapters of the second year of Jian'an
"Are you the only one left?"
Looking at Lu Yi and the others standing in front of him, Zhao Huo took a deep breath.
After the road, the bodies were arranged neatly, just like when they set off.
Zhao Huo knew there would be losses, but he didn't expect that there would be such a huge loss.
The team he had worked hard to save was mostly lost in one battle.
"I am incompetent!" Lu Yi bowed.
"After the mission is completed, it is not incompetence... Yizhou will die for you and I don't know how many millions of people you have. You have made great contributions, and the brothers who have fallen will also receive pensions and due glory behind you!"
After saying that, Zhao Huo felt his nose soreness and couldn't help but tilt his head and pinch his eyebrows.
Many of these people were taught by him one by one. It would be impossible to say that it would not be uncomfortable.
"This is the fate of our Jinyiwei." Zixu walked forward and chanted, "The wind was slapped and the water was cold, the flags of frost were covered with blood, success or failure, imprisonment or death, and people did not know it, and even died after death."
With Zixu's voice, all the Jinyiwei shouted together, "Ah! The sound is loud and the elephant is invisible. Come and the spirit is peaceful and the spirit is peaceful. The long river is the swallow, and the green mountains are the proof; how can it be silent? The rivers and mountains are called!
People forget something, history is light. Unification is expected, and the nation will prosper. Soul is a great stone, and the hand is inscribed. I am my descendants, and I will be honored for generations."
This is the words engraved by Ma Qiang in the Hall of Heroes, and it is also the belief of the Jinyiwei.
Although their names are unknown, their achievements will last forever!
"Master, what happened to the last white dragon?"
Xiao Meng raised his doubts.
Zixu gently pushed the whisk away, and a glass cover appeared in front of everyone.
"I am actually a flashlight. Just carve a pattern on the cover to form a scene where the white dragon emerges.
But this can only be used indoors, if it is outside, it will be exposed at once."
"The Taoist priest used this thing to deceive Liu Zhang. It's really a good method!"
"Oh, I didn't lie to him. As long as he follows the will of heaven, the general will not touch him for the sake of stability in the world."
Zixu guessed that although Liu Zhang turned several counties to become officials, he was indeed rich and prosperous throughout his life. He retired to his hometown at the age of 60 and died of illness under his children.
Zhang Ren looked at Zhao Huo and others who were undergoing the farewell ceremony before cremation and sighed.
Liu Zhang's surrender left him with no loyalty, but he was unwilling to ask him to surrender to Ma Qiang like this.
"General, what will we do next?"
Ling Bao, who was bandaged like a mummy, walked over with Deng Xian.
Liu Zhang had already followed the Hebei army to Yufucheng, and the other subordinates surrendered or dispersed, but the three of them should not go where to go.
"If you want to join the army, you can go over and talk to them."
Deng Xian shook his head and said, "Do you go and beat our colleagues with them? I don't want to!"
"Yes, I don't want to..." Zhang Ren took a breath, looked at Yunduo in the sky and said, "Let's go to Jingzhou!"
"Is Changsha?"
"No, Jiangling!"
Zhang Ren suddenly wanted to meet two junior brothers, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun.
He really wanted to know whether Ma Qiang was a thief or a general.
He knew how strict his master was in selecting apprentices. If Ma Qiang was really a thief who was bullying the emperor and humiliated, he would not believe that his two junior brothers would be willing to follow Ma Qiang until today.
A king chooses his ministers, and a minister also chooses his king.
Zhang Ren needs to use his own eyes to confirm something.
——Yu Fucheng
"I have followed the destiny of heaven and surrendered to the court. You and others will open the city gates soon!!"
Wu Ban stood at the top of the city and looked at Liu Zhang who was vigorously persuading surrender under the city. He was a little stupid.
What's going on?
Although many of the subordinates were unwilling to give up their weapons and offer the city like this, Wu Ban thought more than they thought.
Liu Zhang surrendered, Yizhou was over, and it was only a matter of time before the Hebei army took over Yizhou. If he fought to the end, he would not talk about who he fought to the death. Once the Hebei army won, the Wu family would inevitably be introduced by the Yizhou gentry as a scapegoat.
After all, the Wu family was originally an alien gentry who relied on Liu Zhang and his son.
Wu Ban's surrender was just the beginning. With the continuous advancement of the Hebei army, few troops chose to fight. They could be said to have surrendered and rarely fought.
But similarly, the great tribes in Yizhou were secretly colluding and were preparing to use their own methods to tell these outsiders that Yizhou is Yizhou, and the rules of Yizhou have not changed for hundreds of years. Even if Liu Zhang surrenders, it should not be changed.
The news from Yizhou reached Guangzong, which made Ma Qiang spend a good year with a smile.
"Zhao Huo and others did a good job. Liu Zhang has surrendered. Zhao Yun transferred Wenpin. Zhu Zhi's army has already attacked Yizhou. Yizhou will be completely pacified soon."
Ma Qiang sat on the bed while playing with Diao Chan's round and smooth body while talking about news about Yizhou to everyone.
"Brother Ma, after next year, will the world be completely stable?" Qingcheng, who was lying next to him, asked.
"It's almost the same. Huang Zu of Jingnan has withdrawn from Changsha and is defeated with Liu Hu to Lingling and Guiyang. If it weren't for the cold weather, Jingnan could have been almost calmed down now." After saying that, Ma Qiang felt that he had recovered some strength and said to Dong Bai who was working hard below, "It's OK, come up."
“Okay~”
Along with the overly debauchery of the lewd voice, the first year of Jian'an ended.
This year, Ma Qiang basically pacified Jing Yang and used his internal response to surrender Liu Zhang. More importantly, the return of the ocean-going fleet allowed the Han Dynasty to obtain various high-yield crop seeds from the Americas thousands of years ahead of schedule.
Although it will take at least five years to fully promote these crops, the future will be bright after all.
From Liaozhou to Xizhou, from Bingzhou to Jingyang, everyone hopes that with the gradual departure of war, life in the new year can be better.
The second year of Jian'an has arrived.
——Hebei University
"Thus, those who stand up are strong, those who stand up prosper; those who fail to stand up are weak, and those who are weak will perish..."
"This is the choice of nature, and the fittest survive, so whether it is a human or a thing, you should follow the will of heaven. Just like going against the heavens, it is to defeat yourself!"
"Absurd words: Nuwa repairs the sky and Dayu controls the flood, which of these are not against the heavens? If the ancient sages do not go against the heavens, how can we have the world today?
We benevolent men only need to be worthy of the three inches of energy in our hearts. If the sky falls, we should reach the sky; if the earth falls, we should make up for the earth. How can we escape by the words of destiny?"
Ma Qiang sat down in the audience, listening to a group of students on the stage debated each other, lifted the hat he wore to cover up his identity, and said to Liu Bei next to him, "What does Xuandegong think of these students?"
“Energetic!”
Ma Qiang smiled and said, "Have you heard about the news in Yizhou?"
