Chapter 911: Prosperous Martial Arts
Huanglong Mansion, Haitian City.
As the only city of the Han Dynasty in Huanglong Prefecture, it undertook a very heavy border defense task. In the war of Wu Nian to conquer Goguryeo, it withstood the fierce attack of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and played a decisive role.
From Wei Changqing to Wei Ru, and then to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the martial arts style in this city was extremely strong. There were many martial arts schools, including those teaching northern and southern boxing techniques, as well as military swords and guns.
It can be said that any man found in Haitian City can master the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu.
Now it is a war on the doorstep. The war spirit in Haitian City is already boiling. Both the soldiers and the people are sharpening their swords to regain Liaodong and capture and kill Meng Yuan.
On the city, groups of soldiers wearing armor or jackets, armed with spears, swords and guns, were patrolling meticulously, looking north.
The soldiers of the Haitian Army, who had strict military discipline, rarely spoke during the mission. But after the mission was over, they got off the city wall, but they were very excited and talked more.
One of Wei Ru's cousins, Wei Qun, led his banner men and horses down the city wall. A young man in the army, his cheeks flushed with excitement, said: "Do you feel it? There is murderous intent in the air."
"Of course I feel it. The autumn harvest is full of food. The imperial court continues to transport food from Jiang County to Haitian City. Now the granaries in Haitian City are almost full. This is to prepare for the attack. When we are defending, we in Haitian City
It is an important border defense city. When attacking, we are the forward base."
Another young man also nodded excitedly and said, holding his head high and feeling very proud.
Looking at these awesome young men under his command who looked down upon death, Wei Qun felt very pleased, but said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the war more than ten years ago?"
"Nine out of ten generals in Liaodong surrendered or fled. Only General Changqing, the Duke of Wei, defended Haitian City. After the city was broken, most of the Wei family clan and the people in the city were killed or injured."
"In this battle, I, Princess Wei of Zhou Kingdom, will definitely ask to be a vanguard. We must risk our lives and either die on the battlefield or enter Anding City to recover Huanglong."
"yes."
The little flag officer and the soldiers heard the words and their blood boiled immediately, and they shouted in response.
This group of ten thousand households led by Wei Ru had many names.
Hai Tianjun, Wei Jiajun, Zhou Guojun. But people from the Wei family dare not say that they are Wei Jiajun. They especially like the name Hai Tianjun.
If you are not drunk with wine, everyone will get drunk.
The sound of killing has not yet started, but the spirit of the army has already entered the battlefield.
Go straight to Huanglong and capture and kill Meng Yuan.
Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.
The five prefectures and 32 counties in Liaodong were combined into one.
This has been the long-cherished wish of all the people who followed Wu Nian in raising the army or silently supported Wu Nian in raising the army for more than ten years.
Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition.
The Princess's Mansion of Zhou Kingdom.
Wei Ru's personal guards were heavily guarded in the palace and did not dare to let down their guard. A war was imminent, and Wei Ru was a general of the Han Dynasty and had to guard against assassination by the enemy.
In the study.
Wei Ru was wearing a half-worn war jacket, and her beautiful black hair was simply tied into a ponytail. She was restless today.
I can't read the art of war, and I don't want to practice martial arts.
Bits and pieces of these past ten years kept reappearing in her mind. Before the Mongol and Yuan invasions, although Liaodong was in turmoil, her father and brother were still there, and she was also a willful young lady.
He doesn't like red makeup, but likes military and horse fighting.
Even though she has great looks, she can't get married.
Later, the city was destroyed and her father and brother died for the country. She took the remaining troops of the Wei family alone and went south to join Wu Nian. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed.
She has gone through more than a hundred battles, big and small, and achieved a martial name that is even stronger than that of her father's generation.
He is one of the strongest generals in the history of the Wei family.
Her heart is also tied to Wu Nian. After the war is over, she will take off her military uniform, put on a skirt, and stay with the person she likes.
But this is the premise.
Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.
If this long-cherished wish is not fulfilled, she will not leave the army and she will not be happy.
What is the strongest general?
She didn't care at all. She only cared about the hatred between the country and the family. When the Meng Yuan invaded, there was a tragic battle to defend the city, and the blood flowed like a river after the city was broken.
Now it keeps replaying in her mind, like a ghost demanding life.
Only by paying blood debts with blood can thoughts be clear.
Wei Ru's small hands, whose palms were covered with calluses, were clasped together tightly, his delicate body trembling, and his expression cold and stern.
After a long time, Wei Ru calmed down, raised his head and said to the door: "Wei Polu."
"What are your orders, general?" Wei Polu, who was both a prince and a soldier, walked in at a leisurely pace and saluted his aunt meticulously.
"Notify the Wei family members immediately. In three days, I will pay homage to my ancestors."
"Although the king often says that things about ghosts and gods are illusory, he also respects his ancestors. The war is about to begin, and we pray to our ancestors to protect our military fortunes."
Wei Ru raised his head and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Wei Polu responded loudly, turned around and went down.
Worshiping ancestors is no small matter.
In the palace of Princess Zhou, there are tablets dedicated to the successive heads of the Wei family or outstanding figures. Following Wei Ru's order, the elders of the Wei family began to actively and solemnly prepare for ancestor worship.
Three days later.
As the eldest grandson of Wei Changqing and now the nominal head of the Wei family, Wei Polu, the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, served as the officiant. The Wei family held a grand ancestor worship ceremony.
All the men and women of the Wei family were present.
As the de facto head of the Wei family, Princess Wei Ru of Zhou State participated in the sacrifice as a woman.
Inside the ancestral hall.
She knelt behind Wei Polu, looked up at the tablets of her ancestors, and then worshiped devoutly. She thought to herself: "Father and brother."
"Ancestors."
"Please protect me. Capture Meng Yuan and break through An Ding. Assist the King of Han and aspire to conquer Liaodong."
"The hatred of the Xuewei family resurrects the shame of Liaodong being conquered."
"I will never begrudge this body. I am willing to sacrifice myself to be a benevolent person and wrap my body in horse leather."
The grand and solemn ancestor worship of the Wei family ended. It seemed as if something had changed, as if nothing had happened.
People's hearts are becoming more and more impetuous.
The soldiers and civilians of Haitian City were like ants on a hot pot, anxiously waiting for the sacred moment to arrive.
The king of Han waved his whip and vowed to fight for the Northern Expedition.
Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.
It is not only the soldiers and civilians of Haitian who are agitated, but also the soldiers and civilians of Jiang County. The storm is about to come, and whether you like it or not, no one can survive this war alone.
Since ancient times, scholars are the most enthusiastic people.
The students in the Imperial College and Sunzi Imperial College have already let themselves go. They hold gatherings and talk loudly again and again.
He said, "The king of Han will definitely win, and the king's army will definitely drive out the Tartars."
Inside and outside the words.
"When the King of Han whips Yu Nei, he will definitely capture Huang Long and defeat Meng Yuan."
"The country will surely be prosperous, and the Yan Han Dynasty will be powerful."
It was not only Wei Ru who was restless, but also Wu Nian.
More than ten years of hard work has come to an end at this moment.
How can you be at peace after spending ten years sharpening a sword?
The blood has boiled and the spirit has transcended.
This battle.
