Chapter 133 Welcome the Marquis back to Xiliang!!
Nagorburu frowned as he listened to the fighting outside. Naxi beside him whispered in his ear:
"Chan Yu, could it be the Marquis of Zhenxi's men? But we rested for a whole night and didn't notice anything unusual. This shouldn't be the case."
Nagorburu said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, maybe they are not the Zhenxi Marquis's men? Just now I saw those soldiers outside and they didn't look like Zhenxi Marquis's troops. Maybe it was another Daying general who launched the attack."
"No wonder Chao is eyeing Daying covetously. I think the people of Daying have also heard some news, so it's not surprising that they took the initiative to attack."
"But since they dare to come, it means they are fully confident. Even if the reinforcements from the Chao Kingdom are on the way, the defenders here will not hold out for long."
"You guys use your mouths to bite the ropes open. We must leave here immediately before the defenders here are completely eliminated!" Nagorburu said to his subordinates behind him.
"Go find those heads before you leave. As long as they are there, the lie can continue."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nasi leaned over and bit the rope in Nagorburu's hand, while his rope was bitten by another Hu general.
Just as they were biting hard, two frightened voices suddenly came from outside.
"Who is it?!" Two more muffled groans were heard by Nagorburu and others in the tent. They stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked at the entrance of the tent with vigilance.
After a while, friendly Hu people's voice came from outside.
"Chanyu! Generals! I'm here to save you!"
Nagorburu was overjoyed after hearing this, and then he laughed at Naxi and the others, "Haha! Our people are still reliable at critical moments!"
The other generals also smiled and nodded, and then a voice came from outside again: "Your Majesty! Generals! You come out first. I'll change into the clothes of a Chao soldier and stand here. Others won't get suspicious for the time being."
Nagorburu thought it made sense. If his men rashly came in and were discovered by soldiers from other Chao countries, they would all die here.
"Let's go! Let's get out first!" Nagorburu stood up immediately. He was the first to walk towards the entrance of the tent. As soon as he walked out, his body suddenly shook and a sword pierced his chest.
Ying Xuanze looked at him coldly, then drew his sword and kicked him into the tent.
When Naxi and others saw their king suddenly being stabbed by a sword, they rushed forward in panic, but at this time Nagorburu was spitting blood and could not utter a word.
He stared at Ying Xuan Ze in horror, and used his last bit of strength to point at Ying Xuan Ze and wanted to say something.
Ying Xuanze guessed what he was thinking. He smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "Yes, I am the Marquis of Zhenxi."
"Did you think you would be safe if you hid in the territory of Chao State after running away all this time? Don't worry, I will lead troops to annihilate Chao State when I have time. You can go ahead!"
Then Ying Xuanze held the bloody iron sword and swept across the other Hu generals in the tent, with the murderous intent in his eyes becoming more and more intense.
The next moment, several screams were heard from the tent and blood splattered on the tent. A moment later, Ying Xuanze walked out of the tent with a lot of blood on his face.
"What's left is to deal with the Chao guards here." Ying Xuanze murmured softly and noticed that the Chao soldiers were retreating quickly.
The sound of Qin cavalry came from the front, and the fleeing Chao soldiers were shot one after another.
"Master! I finally found you!" Huo Qubing found Ying Xuanze. He immediately dismounted and quickly moved forward, using his body to block Ying Xuanze's back.
"The Khan of the Nagor tribe is dead. You lead the Qin cavalry to quickly annihilate the Chao soldiers here. Don't leave any alive!" Ying Xuanze said as he took off the armor of the Chao soldiers.
"Yes!"
Huo Qubing immediately mounted his horse and commanded the army to encircle and suppress the Chao soldiers. They had a large number of arrows in their hands and it was impossible for them to let any Chao soldier go.
This annihilation battle lasted only one hour, and a total of 30,000 defenders were killed. Most of them were shot to death, and their bodies were full of arrows.
Huo Qubing ordered the army to clean up the battlefield, while Ying Xuanze called some Qin cavalry to exchange clothes with the Hu people among the corpses.
Although they didn't know what the meaning of their lord's actions was, the Qin cavalry immediately followed the order. After changing their clothes, Ying Xuanze asked them to throw their swords next to the corpse.
"My lord? Just leaving all our weapons here? Isn't that a waste?" Huo Qubing questioned Ying Xuanze's actions, not understanding them.
Ying Xuanze smiled and said, "If we don't do this, how can we make the people of Chao believe that it was the Daying army that killed their defenders?"
"Since Chao State covets Daying's land, now that they see their own defenders dying at the hands of Daying's army, do they have sufficient reasons to attack Daying?"
Ying Xuanze narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "The enemy of my enemy can also be my friend. Let the army of Chao consume the army of Daying first, and then we will find an opportunity to join the game."
"Since entering the grassland, we have been the fishermen many times, right?"
After hearing what Ying Xuanze said, Huo Qubing suddenly realized.
"So that's how it is. Your Majesty has a really good plan! Qubing will learn from it!"
"Leave here quickly after finishing all this. We have been out for so long, it's time to go back to Xiliang..." Ying Xuanze looked to the west, feeling a surge of longing in his heart.
......
Two and a half hours later, the reinforcements from the Chao Kingdom arrived at the battlefield. However, it was already a sea of blood and corpses, with vultures eating rotten meat everywhere.
The Korean soldiers who arrived were filled with anger when they saw their dead companions, and the leading general Li Zhongguo had a terribly gloomy expression.
"Damn it! We are still late!" Li Zhongguo said in a deep voice while clenching his fist. The battle situation here has confirmed one thing, that is, the number of the invading army is large, at least twice the number of the defenders.
Just as he was wondering who would invade the North Korean border, a soldier shouted, "General! We've found something!"
Li Zhongguo immediately rode forward, only to see the soldier pointing at a corpse on the ground and shouting, "This is not the armor of our country. It looks like it belongs to the army of Daying!"
"Daying?" Li Zhongguo's face was full of surprise. This place was not close to Daying. Where did the Daying army come from? It couldn't be that they passed through the Luge grassland, right?
That was the territory of the Luge tribe! The Luge tribe had received assistance from their country, and even Daying had to be careful to deal with the more than 200,000 troops after they were fully armed.
"Could it be a mistake?" Li Zhongguo looked at the corpse. He felt that this man was a Hu person because he had Hu people's characteristics.
It was not until the soldier handed him the iron sword that he exclaimed, "This is a unique iron sword from Daying! And the craftsmanship has been improved!"
Li Zhongguo suddenly remembered that there was a pass on the edge of the Luge tribe, and the defenders there had the characteristics of the Hu people, because they had half Hu blood in their bodies.
These are the offspring of Han women who were invaded by the Hu people. When they grow up, they will join the Daying army and will definitely seek revenge.
Thinking of this, Li Zhongguo flew into a rage: "50,000 troops will stay here to garrison, and the rest will follow me to the capital to report to His Majesty!"
"It's said that Daying can't sit still anymore! It wants to go to war with our Chao country!"
"Yes!"
Four days later, Wancheng.
The people of Wancheng left home early as usual to work in the fields nearby.
Seeing that half of autumn had passed, they had to speed up the wheat harvest so that they could produce food for the winter before winter came.
Although the Marquis of Zhenxi returned all the food that the Yinglong Army had stolen to them, as the saying goes, there will be a second time for every first time.
No one knows whether other government troops will seize their food in the future under the pretext of war.
We cannot survive the winter without food. For the sake of the whole family, every household dares not take a rest easily.
"It's been a few days, and I don't know how the battle of Zhenxihou is going. I heard that there are other Hu tribes on the grassland, with a population of hundreds of thousands!"
"Who knows? Since there is no news from Jiarong Pass, it should be no big deal, right? We should trust the Marquis. Didn't the Tu clan, which was so powerful, be destroyed by the Marquis?"
A few middle-aged men who had nothing to do sat together, chatting and drinking tea. When they talked about this, they suddenly remembered the soldiers who came to rob their food that day.
"It's bad! Those soldiers came from the capital, and the Marquis has returned all the food to us. I hope those soldiers won't cause trouble for the Marquis?" a commoner exclaimed.
When the others heard this, their faces changed. They remembered the brutality of those officers and soldiers, and for a moment they were worried about the Marquis of Zhenxi.
"It's okay, it's okay! The Marquis is still a duke after all. No matter how powerful the officers and soldiers from the capital are, can they cause trouble for the Marquis?" said a commoner after waving his hand.
"The Marquis said that he is protecting us in Xiliang, so no one can bully us. Let's just trust the Marquis!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and suddenly a voice came from outside.
"Oh no, oh no! There's an army we've never seen before coming outside! They're all in armor! They're definitely not the army of Lord Zhenxi Hou!" Several panicked civilians ran over and shouted.
Several people who were drinking tea jumped up from their seats in surprise. If it wasn't the troops of Marquis Zhenxi, could it be that they were soldiers and officers from the capital again?
The tea shop owner was also hurriedly packing up his things. As a small businessman, he could not afford to offend these soldiers.
Just when they were about to get away from the street, cheers suddenly came from behind, and the sound was extremely enthusiastic.
Several men were stunned, and the tea stall owner who was about to push the cart and run away was also stunned.
What's with all this cheering? If it's not the Marquis's men, then whose men are worthy of the cheers from the people in the city?
So a few people walked forward curiously. After a few steps, they felt a slight tremor coming from the ground, and soon the vibration of the ground became stronger and stronger.
A few people stuck their heads out and looked forward, and saw a group of soldiers wearing full iron armor on the road; even the horses under their crotches were covered in iron armor.
Behind this heavily armored cavalry there is a black flag fluttering in the wind under the blue sky, and the red tiger head on the flag is lifelike, which makes people feel fearful.
The bright iron armor flashed with dazzling light, and the sharp spears pierced straight into the sky, emitting a cold light.
The horses' hooves made a heavy rumbling sound as they touched the ground. The vibration of the ground continued to intensify. The confused people in Wancheng thought it was an earthquake.
"This, this, this? Is this heavy cavalry? The emperor of cavalry!?" Some of the common people recognized Tiefutu.
The leading young man was wearing black armor. He held the reins with one hand and the hilt of the sword with the other. His handsome and resolute face was extremely deep.
The people on both sides of the road cheered for the young man on horseback. He slowly raised his hand, and the iron float behind him stopped at the same time.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the young man, and some of them even kept mentioning the words "Marquis of Zhenxi".
When the people who were working outside heard that the Marquis of Zhenxi had returned, they put down their farm work and hurried into the city. Finally, they squeezed into the crowd and saw the Marquis of Zhenxi.
As Ying Xuanze raised his hands above his head, the sounds around him began to slowly quiet down.
Then, in the midst of this silence, a deafening voice rang in the ears of the people.
"The Hu tribes on the Bemon Grassland, Pasu Grassland, and the entire northern grassland have been completely annihilated!"
"From today on, there will be no more Hu soldiers and horses on the grassland! Everyone can go to the grassland at will, run as much as they want, and graze as much as they want!"
“Enjoy the joy of this moment!”
As Ying Xuanze's voice fell, after a brief silence, thunderous cheers broke out from the crowd.
The days of fear will be gone forever, and their future will be bright!
The cheers of the landslide and tsunami were mixed with joy, relief and gratitude. Many of them had been invaded by the Hu people and had thought about committing suicide.
They fantasized that someone would come to punish the Hu people on the grassland, but what they got was the inaction and incompetence of the government.
But now it’s different. The arrival of Marquis Zhenxi has swept away all the haze!
The entire border cities in the northern part of Daying will be able to develop, and the news that Ying Xuanze annihilated the entire Hu tribe on the grassland will soon spread.
Ying Xuanze looked at the extremely excited people around him and finally smiled with relief. He wanted to see that moment when the people's faces were filled with smiles, so that what he did would make sense.
He raised his hand once again, and the people gradually calmed down and the cheers gradually died down.
"I, Ying Xuanze, swear to everyone here that from now on, you will all live a happy life!"
"The flames of war will never reach your doorstep again! No one will dare to oppress you! No injustice will befall any of you!"
"If anyone in your family is short of food or coats, please tell me. I will satisfy you with everything you need! Spend this cold winter happily and contentedly!"
Ying Xuanze's face turned red due to excessive excitement. As his voice fell, the sound of people kneeling down was heard one after another.
The people of Wancheng knelt on the ground one by one, and bowed to Ying Xuanze, shouting:
"Welcome the Marquis back to Xiliang!"
Ying Xuanze drew his sword and pointed it at the sky, and the army behind him shouted in unison: "Welcome our lord back to Xiliang!"
