Chapter 945: Fear
Helu was forced to turn his head and look at the other six of the eight people who came in.
From left to right.
In order were two generals of the Great Zhou, who judging by their attire should be the Qianniu Guards, and then a middle-aged man dressed in Turkic style, with a scimitar on his waist, who looked very familiar.
However, no matter how familiar he was with the other person, the arrogant Helu could no longer remember the other person's identity.
Then came a Tang Dynasty general wearing black armor, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a murderous aura.
Then there was General Huang Zhen of Yingzhou Guard, who looked much thinner and shorter than the others.
Helu didn't recognize this person either.
In other words, he didn't know anyone except Bu Zhen...
No, he knew the last person!
"Callietian!"
"Why are you with them?"
Helu was horrified.
At this moment, all the mysteries have been solved.
Why did tens of thousands of cavalry appear to the east of Shiguo? Because the Jie British, who were responsible for defending against Khitan, suffered a crushing defeat!
Even Cathar Britannia himself was captured alive!
As for the possibility that Capricorn would rebel and surrender to the enemy, that was absolutely impossible. Not to mention whether Capricorn himself was willing to rebel and surrender to the enemy, just looking at Burgen's attitude, it was impossible for him to be willing to accept Capricorn.
"Your Majesty, I was defeated. I was defeated miserably."
"I am incompetent. Tens of thousands of soldiers were completely destroyed."
At this point, Britannia had caused such a huge disaster that there was naturally no chance for him to lie.
He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Helu.
On the contrary, after hearing Jie Li Britain's explanation, Helu not only did not show an angry expression, but laughed instead.
"As long as you're still alive, this is the best ending. Did Bu really give you a hard time?"
Britannia shook his head, filled with guilt.
Helu nodded: "It's okay. After the disastrous defeat on the border, our defeat is inevitable. I will definitely die, but you are just a general."
"I'm really glad to see you back alive, Britannia."
"Come on, Buzhen, kill me! I don't want to go to the Tang Dynasty and kneel before the emperor of your Tang Dynasty."
Helu opened his arms.
"My wish has been fulfilled, send me on my way!"
Sun Xiangzhou took out a rope and said, "Send you off? What a pipe dream! Come here, tie him up, and send him back to Luoyang."
……
After the Shi Kingdom was captured, there were less than 20,000 combat-ready soldiers in various parts of the Turkic region.
The remaining defense forces are all civilian forces and are not worth mentioning.
After discussion, the five Sijins of the five Nuyibi tribes sent people to deliver the command of the last two eagle divisions overnight.
From then on, the internal war among the Turks came to a simple end.
However, the war is not over yet. The nobles of the five tribes of Nuyibi have not been dealt with yet, and the traitor Jijin is still awaiting trial.
Rebellion within the Turks also followed. A large number of Turkic civilians were unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of the arrival of winter and heavy snow, they openly raised the banner of rebellion and made bold statements, saying that they would go south to capture the dragon.
This is destined to be a restless year.
Li Cunxi spent a comfortable year in Luoyang. During the first month of the year, a lot of good news came from the northern border.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Li Cunxi stayed in the warm imperial study, reading the government affairs sent from the Council of State, which had to be reviewed by him as the emperor.
King Wu Yanhao of Liang was sitting on the other side. He had originally come here to drink tea and play chess, but was temporarily drafted into the army.
Ma Rong brought Lu Dayou over, and the three of them chatted while reviewing the documents.
However, Lu Dayou refused due to his different status and squatted aside to eat Li Cunxi's pastries.
Ma Rong sat closest to the fireplace, and his cold armor was almost warmed up.
"Hey, Your Majesty, look, here's something very interesting."
Wu Yanhao took a break from his busy schedule and handed a copy of the Tang newspaper to Li Cunxi.
After handing it over, he lay down directly, stretched out his arms and took some fruit from Lu Dayou's plate to eat.
"Hey, the Deputy Chief Commander of the Hebei Road Army, General of the Right Dragon Guard, and Duke of Xin, Daleha, suddenly fell ill while traveling to Sima Fenduo in the Turkic region and has been bedridden. Therefore, he left behind 20,000 Right Dragon Guards to protect him, while Wang Xiaojie, the Chief Commander of the Hebei Road Army and General of the Right Guard, led the troops to the Stone Kingdom..."
After reading this paragraph, Li Cunxi felt a little unhappy.
He glanced at Wu Yanhao who was chewing an apple, and Wu Yanhao immediately put down the apple and sat up straight.
Today's apples are not called apples, but have other names. The older name is ringo, and the newer name is pinapple.
In an era when fruit flavors were scarce, it was not easy to eat an apple, which is why this thing appeared in the palace.
Li Cun looked at Wu Yanhao with a frown on his face:
"Yanhao, am I really that scary?"
"Duke Xin made great contributions, but when he was approaching the Stone Kingdom, he suddenly fell ill and was unable to move forward."
"I absolutely do not believe this is a coincidence."
Wu Yanhao naturally didn't believe this coincidence, so he let Li Cunxi read this newspaper.
Of course, he couldn't say that.
His speech was ready. He stood up straight and said:
"Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, so you are naturally magnanimous. Your ministers should be rewarded for their merits and punished for their mistakes. All officials should perform their duties with loyalty, and your generals should lead the troops to defend the country and expand its borders."
"However, civil officials should not act in an overly assertive manner while in office, and military commanders should not seek to surpass their lords in their achievements during battle."
"Just as I shouldn't be involved in government affairs that should be overseen by His Majesty, military commanders on the battlefield also need to consider whether their achievements will overshadow their master."
Li Cunxi understood Wu Yanhao's idea and nodded repeatedly.
"I understand."
He reached out and pushed the pile of documents in front of him in front of Wu Yanhao.
Looking at Wu Yanhao's almost crying expression, Li Cunxi stood up and walked to Lu Dayou and started eating pastries.
"In terms of friendship, you are my brother. In terms of kinship, you are my nephew and my brother-in-law. In terms of status, you are my subject."
"So many of our relationships are intertwined, what a strong bond it is!"
"so……"
"Don't rush back until you've finished handling those government affairs. I'll have someone put down a duvet for you. If you can't finish it, you can sleep here."
Wu Yanhao: "..."
He sobbed sadly, lowered his head and began to deal with the remaining government affairs.
Fortunately, Li Cunxi did not leave behind much government affairs. Half an hour later, Wu Yanhao finished reading it. Li Cunxi took a look and ordered someone to send it to the government hall.
Today will definitely not be a good day for Wu Yanhao, but it must be a good day for Li Cunxi.
With Ma Rong, the four of them had dinner and then went their separate ways.
Li Cunxi entered the south of Yongxiang under the escort of Ma Rong and started the battle with the queen tonight.
Wu Yanhao returned to his father's Prince Jin's Mansion and went straight to the backyard to see his wife.
Cui Luo is seven months pregnant. After experiencing morning sickness, she finally gets to rest tonight.
Wu Yanhao climbed onto the bed, took off his coat, reached out and touched Cui Luo's belly, revealing a perverted smile.
"I'm finally going to be a father."
