Chapter 259: Who can stop it
Xiangguo's public horses sent the imperial army to cross the river to attack the coalition army.
There were 200,000 coalition troops, but most of them were not in alignment, and when they saw such a front and rear attack, and there were enemies everywhere, they went their own way, and did not obey the command of the coalition marshal.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the marshal of the coalition forces could only flee north to preserve his strength.
This escape, Yu Chao took the opportunity to rush and kill for a while, the blood flowed into the pestle, the blood flowed into the river, into the Kur Lake, the Kul Lake was dyed red, under the sunset, revealing a strange beauty.
After Lin Quan and Xiangguo Gong met, his armor was covered in blood, and Xiangguo Gong said to Lin Quan: "Thank you for your hard work, if there is no you at this station, I am afraid that the court will be hated." ”
"My lord, the court has the blessing of God, it will conquer and win the battle, even if it encounters a small setback, it is just a small test."
Xiangguo Gong smiled and asked Lin Quan how the battle was this time, and learned that Lin Quan had an army of 200,000 people, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have encountered the least resistance along the way, but now I have a division, and there are only 50,000 people left." ”
Lin Quan said that the elite of the imperial court could not be lost, and next, they should use Rong to control Rong and let these Rong people attack each other.
And all they have to do is draw up a strategy and then distribute the money.
Xiangguo Gong nodded, and Lin Quan was stationed in the camp of the coalition army, which was defeated this time, leaving a lot of supplies.
In the tent, Xiangguo Gong looked at the map, pointed to the city of Suda in the south, and said to Lin Quan: "I heard that this city is a city of scholars, and at that time, Lin Jian Jun will want you to surrender them." ”
Lin Quan smiled and said that he could try it.
After Lin Quan's main force arrived, the army went south, and the city lord of Suda City directly asked for surrender without the slightest hesitation.
When the cold winter came, the army was naturally stationed in, and there were 1.2 million people in this city, which was also a big city, and after the army moved in, the people still did not change.
On the second day of his stationing, Lin Quan arrived at the school in this city, where famous scholars in black-clothed Dashi gathered.
These scholars had no interest in Lin Quan, a soldier from the far east, but after Lin Quan opened his mouth to talk, these scholars changed their prejudices.
Although Lin Quan is not as proficient in the Seven Techniques as Yue Lihua, he is also level, and he talks about the Seven Techniques, so that these scholars can understand that this person is still a scholar.
Lin Quan also introduced his own knowledge, and when Le Qiong was translating, he tried to exaggerate Lin Quan, saying that he was the most knowledgeable scholar in the Yu Empire.
Looking at the curious eyes of the scholars around him, Lin Quan began to talk about Confucianism, these scholars just knew a little bit from the books of the priests, and now Lin Quan, a great Confucian, came to explain it personally, which was naturally different.
When Lin Quan talked about some rare concepts, Le Qiong couldn't translate them, so he had to transliterate them.
Even so, the perfect moral and ethical system of Confucianism, as well as the extremely complete study of the mind, made these scholars refreshed.
Some of these people's inquiries were too professional, and Le Qiong was not convenient for translation, so Lin Quan had to ask Xiangguo Gong's translator to come.
With the help of these two people, the communication between the two sides was much smoother, and many scholars were interested in the official position of the Yu Dynasty.
After Lin Quan explained the official positions one by one, many scholars lamented that there was such a perfect country in this world.
Seeing that these scholars were interested, Lin Quan also took out the Four Books and Five Classics translated by Yue Lihua, which Yue Lihua presented to them after preparing to meet Xirong.
When Lin Quan came here, he also took it with him, and now he saw that there was this opportunity, so he took it out.
This Yue Lihua's translation naturally understood better than these two laymen, and after reading it, a scholar asked for a portrait of Xuanfu and began to worship.
Lin Quan was glad that these scholars were able to accept Confucianism, and with the help of these people, Confucianism could take root better.
Now that he is a prisoner, he is naturally not good at lecturing, and he can only rely on these natives.
He believed that after accepting the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, Xirong and these people who had turned into foreigners would only be regarded as a guideline.
Lin Quan also took advantage of the cold winter to give lectures at the college, mainly teaching ancient scriptures and etiquette.
As for Shile, Lin Quan thinks that they may not understand, and he doesn't have to waste time.
Chen Jingjing and the others also accompanied Lin Quan, and when Lin Quan was lecturing, the two of them rarely smiled.
It is only at this time that the cold north wind will take the cruelty away, leaving a peaceful and prosperous era.
Because this was the third stronghold of the Yu Dynasty, the Duke of Xiangguo restrained the soldiers, so that the city slowly returned to its former normalcy after the initial depression.
It's a pity that winter will eventually pass, and on February 16, after the arrival of the imperial envoys, the army of the Yu Dynasty is about to set off again.
The sage praised the merits of the Duke of Xiangguo, and foresaw that by the time the holy decree arrived, the black-clothed Dashi was no longer the opponent of the imperial court, and the next step was to continue to advance westward, defeat the white-clothed Dashi, and defeat the Duchy of Polya, then the imperial door would be open.
It only takes three years for Xiangguo Gong to complete the sage's confession.
When Xiangguo Gong set off, he said to Lin Quan that this holy decree almost gave them a time limit, and now it is the fifth year of Jingzheng, and the eighth year of Jingzheng, and they will let Ulysses IV enter the imperial capital.
Lin Quan said that according to the current situation, three years would still be enough, but now they still have to fight a tough battle, that is, the army of the Teutonic principality.
Lin Quan and the others followed the river north and arrived at the city of Vladimi, where there was a gate to the capital of the black-clothed Dashi Kingdom.
The city was built very well, and the defender was the king's son, who had received a death warrant, and if the city was lost, then there would be nothing left to defend the capital.
Can't surrender, there is only a siege, the Yu Dynasty once again exerted the power of the equipment, in front of the Yu Dynasty's huge siege equipment, no matter what the city, only the city wall collapsed.
Three days later, even the prince, who had been ordered to die, finally surrendered in Kaesong.
It is not so much about Kaejo as it is about offering a castle without walls.
The carnival began again, and the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty were used to it, and every time they captured a city, they carnivaled once.
The strong men in the city also brought chains and began to carry the engineering equipment that the Yu Dynasty was proud of.
After the revelry, the army continued westward and surrounded Dubere, the capital of the black-clothed Dashi.
However, the king had fled north to the Duchy of Teuton, the capital of which had no danger to defend, and had no choice but to surrender.
For this kind of city that is not in danger to defend, the Yu Dynasty is stationed outside the city, and only asks the nobles in the city to take the initiative to send goods to the army.
The main force of the black-clothed Dashi has almost been annihilated by the Yu Dynasty, and now the Yu Dynasty is facing a dilemma again, whether to go north to teach the Teutonic Principality, or continue to advance westward and attack the white-clothed Dashi.
Lin Quan told the Duke of Xiangguo that the imperial army was no longer enough to support them in a large-scale battle with the principality of Xirong. As for their allies, surrendering troops, and mercenary groups, these are all good to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city, and if they are slightly disadvantaged, they will flee.
Xiangguo Gong said yes, but if he didn't know how to fight, it would be difficult to negotiate with the Teutonic Principality.
Lin Quan also sighed, now they can be regarded as hanging troops, the imperial court will not send reinforcements, even if the reinforcements arrive, it will be half a year later.
Lin Quan thought for a while, and said to the Duke of Xiangguo: "There is no way, this king of the black-clothed stone has already fled to the Duchy of Teuton, as long as we kill him and give him his head as a gift, the Duchy of Teutoni will naturally agree." And if he really wants to fight, then we have to let our ally go to the Archduke Rachel and go north from the east to see if this archduke has the ability to defeat us. ”
Xiangguo Gong asked Lin Quan what he was going to do, and Lin Quan said that he needed a few people with strong martial arts, a few guides, and some money by the way.
Xiang Guogong said that these were not problems, and Xiang Guogong gave him a month.
"Lin Quan, now these soldiers are like hungry wolves, if they don't attack the next city for a month, I'm afraid it will be difficult to guarantee peace here."
Lin Quan said that he must live up to his mission, and after retreating, Lin Quan found all the people and then went to the north.
This way to the north, because the climate was still a little cold at this time, Lin Quan and the others covered their faces, but they did not attract attention.
When he arrived at Alice City on the border of the Duchy of Teuton, Lin Quan saw that many homeless people had also arrived here.
The war broke and these people fled north, lest they die in the revelry of the Yu Dynasty.
Looking at these people, Chen Jingjing sighed and said: "In fact, even if they run here, they may not have a way to live, no land, how can they live?" ”
Le Qiong said coldly: "The so-called righteous teachers in the imperial court did not solve the upside down and save the water and fire, but instead hung them upside down, and the water and fire were gone. ”
Lin Quan could only explain: "This is war, it has always been like this, if the imperial court does not do this, then how can these people be afraid, if they all fight to the end, how can the imperial court advance in Xirong?" ”
Lin Quan could only say that this could reduce the losses, after all, there was less resistance, and the Yu Dynasty had fewer casualties, so the Yu Dynasty would naturally treat these people preferentially, so these people would be grateful. If there is a lot of resistance, and the Yu Dynasty has suffered a lot of casualties, it is necessary to show these people how powerful they are, and these people will be afraid. In this way, the combination of grace and power will make this westward journey easier.
However, Lin Quan also said that the army of the Western Expedition this time should not have returned to the Yu Dynasty, they are all used to carnival, and if they go back, it will be easy to cause trouble.
There is nothing to commit crimes in Xirong, but it is still like this in the Central Plains, so you can only take military discipline seriously.
Instead of going back and dying, it is better to stay here and be a happy military master.
"Husband, even so, I hope you can form a pro-guard army, strictly abide by military discipline, and don't relax and revelry."
Chen Jingjing said the words that had been held in her heart for a long time, and she added: "I don't want to be surrounded by a group of people with blood on their hands, such people, which makes me feel sick and afraid. ”
Lin Quan nodded, promising that he would do it.
