Chapter 516
"Dad, can you really fight?"
When Fubao heard her father say this, she was really confused. She couldn't understand. Can't these people live a good life?
Or, isn't it good to live?
War will kill people.
This disaster is the state religion of the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty has been destroyed for hundreds of years. The royal family of the previous dynasty probably doesn’t want to make trouble anymore, why can this disaster be so difficult?
"meeting!"
Mr. Xu touched Fubao's head and sighed.
Fu Bao stopped talking. She was not a white lotus and never thought of being a savior. However, she wanted to live a peaceful life. If someone really rebels, the war was just the beginning.
Thinking of the nightmare of the locust plague she had before, Fu Bao felt that the delicious roasted chicken in his hand was not so fragrant.
"Dad, then, can disasters be accomplished?"
"It's possible!"
Mr. Xu nodded when he thought of the means of disaster and the current bird-like appearance of the imperial court.
"Will you hit us?"
Fubao asked again.
Now, it was Mr. Xu's turn to remain silent.
"Dad doesn't know!"
Why did Mr. Xu agree with Mr. Xu and his plan to Kun County? Just like Fubao, he was worried that the chaos in the world would affect this place. At that time, he didn't know that the disaster would rebel.
At that time, he just considered that he was going to suffer another disaster and that there would be great trouble under the disaster.
After later, when he learned about the little movements of the disaster in Jiangling City, Mr. Xu also understood that chaos in the world was inevitable.
The Tao of the Tribulation has various magical means, although they are all for harming others and benefiting oneself. However, the Tao of the Tribulation has the means to deceive people's hearts, even without these means to harm others and benefiting oneself, is also first-class.
When a disaster comes, if there is food in your hands, you can easily plunder the people's hearts.
...
After knowing why his father pretended to be sick, Fubao knew that his good life would soon come to an end.
However, what Mr. Xu did not expect was that before the anti-flagration of the Dao was raised, something happened in the north first.
The northern barbarians invaded the south and attacked Huangfengkou Pass at night.
Because of the cold weather, the army guarding Huangfengkou all shrank in the house to make fire. They did not notice the Northern Barbarians' actions of stealing the city. When they discovered that the Northern Barbarians had stolen the city, the gate of Huangfengkou Pass had been opened and the Northern Barbarians entered Huangfengkou.
The Northern Barbarians entered the city and slaughtered the city.
All the troops of Huangfengkou Town Army were killed in battle from the school guard Guanting.
Of course, the Huangfengkou defenders fought to the death and ignited the war fire and wolf smoke.
Unfortunately, the troops stationed at the beacon tower did not see the beacon in the dark, and they also roasted fire in the house to avoid the cold.
It was not until dawn that the Northern Barbarians scattered and plundered, and wolf smoke rose one after another.
The Northern Barbarians entered Longxi Mansion, and there were smoke everywhere, and people fleeing in an endless stream.
The Northwest Town Army, which guards Longxi Mansion, immediately sent troops to intercept them.
However, the Northern Barbarians did not engage in battle, but instead focused on plundering and were always fighting against the Northwest Town Army.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Yongping and the civil and military officials of the court were collectively confused.
Just last autumn, the Beiman suffered a crushing defeat. It was just beginning of spring. Why is the Beiman coming again?
"Tell me!"
Emperor Yongping sat on the dragon throne and looked coldly at the civil servants and military generals in Qiantian Hall.
This time the Northern Barbarians and South Invasion, no news came beforehand, which was undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing.
The Northern Barbarians and the Tang Dynasty have been enemies for generations.
Under normal circumstances, the Tang Dynasty had always had whistle detectives lurking in the Northern Barbarians, and they were constantly conveying the military information of the Northern Barbarians. But this time, the Northern Barbarians invaded the south and there was no news coming back. How could Emperor Yongping not be angry?
But now is not the time to hold the responsibility accountable.
The most important thing at the moment is to drive the Northern Barbarians out of Longxi Mansion.
"The emperor, the army in Xibeizhen is full of troops. I think the Northern Barbarians were defeated last year, and this attack is not worth worrying!"
"I would like to fight!"
The one who stood up from the crowd was Xu Yan, the Gong of Changle.
If it were the past, Changle Duke Xu Yan would never have been the limelight. After all, the three Dukes of the Xu Mansion were already at the limit of nobles. No matter how good the merits were, they would be impossible to be granted, and they would inevitably end up with a great success.
But now it's different.
The Xu Mansion needs military merits to prove their worth.
"Master, why use a cattle knife to kill a chicken? The thief of the Northern Barbarians, please fight!"
This time, the one who stood up was Yulin Lang's general Qin Yu.
After last year's battle with the Northern Barbarians, Mr. Xu and his team got a large number of Northern Barbarian war horses, which caused the number of cavalry in the Northwest Town Army to soar.
In today's Tang Dynasty, the number of cavalry is not much smaller than that of the Northern Barbarians.
In addition to the equipment advantages of the Tang Dynasty, even if it proves hedging with the Northern Barbarian Cavalry, this battle will definitely be won.
This is a must-win counterattack!
Among the generals and nobles, although there are those who live a life of corpse and rely on their ancestors to live, there are many people with some minds and gazes among them.
As Xu Yan and Qin Yu stood up one after another, one after another expressed their opinions that they were willing to share the worries of Emperor Yongping and requested to go to war.
Even Xu Shuo, Duke Ding, who was raised by the eldest princess as a dog, stood up now.
Of course, not only the nobles and generals rush to fight, but even the princes are also competing for the opportunity to go to war.
Emperor Yongping, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was not a fool. When he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
That is, the emperor personally commanded the army!
Last year, he wanted to command the army in person, but the 36 guards of the Second Battalion of the North and South were useless and eventually had to slap himself in the face.
But now, it is clear that the opportunity has come!
Emperor Yongping raised his hand gently and waved his hand to press down. The riots in the court instantly became quiet.
"The Northern Barbarians repeatedly invaded our Tang Dynasty, but the thief was determined to die. I decided to command the emperor to personally fight and pacify the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop!"
"Duke Changle, Duke Yong'an, Duke Dingguo, you three will immediately rectify the two battalions of the north and south, and select the twelve guards. In three days, I will lead the imperial army to personally fight!"
"Retreat!"
At this point, Emperor Yongping suddenly stood up and swept over the civil and military ministers standing in Qiantian Hall with great might. His posture of saying nothing was truly a great emperor.
In an instant, all the civil and military officials in Qiantian Palace bowed their heads.
...
Lingshui Village, Lao Xu's family.
The prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture, Shen Wansheng, was sitting opposite Mr. Xu, with both of them having a very serious expression.
The Northern Barbarians are coming again, and are raging in Longxi Mansion. Although the Northwest Town Army is sufficiently powerful, it still seems inadequate and short of manpower in the face of the Northern Barbarian cavalry that is divided into small groups of scattered soldiers.
Some of the Northern Barbarian cavalry even came towards Xiangyi Prefecture. Fortunately, Shen Wansheng was prepared and intercepted these Northern Barbarian cavalry in the middle of the journey. Otherwise, Xiangyi Prefecture would have suffered war.
"Brother, you really don't care?"
Shen Wansheng came here to ask Mr. Xu to come forward to turn the tide.
"I can't control it!"
