It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 215 Crossing the River!Cross the river!Cross the river!

A piece of letter paper fluttered into the river, and was soon completely soaked.

The matter of the old Shunping Hou is very simple.

On the surface, it was because the old Shunping Hou was from the north and belonged to the noble family.

He had no fundamental contacts in the south, so he was criticized by important officials from the central and southern families. The Northern Expedition was weak, and he was repeatedly delayed, so he had no choice but to retreat to the Yangtze River.

In order to show his determination to stick to it, the old Shunpinghou took his family to the front line.

But for some reason on the way, his whereabouts were leaked, and the old Shunpinghou's family was intercepted by Donghu soldiers.

Old Shun Ping Hou led his troops to ambush, but he didn't want to fall into the trick of attacking east and west, and died in battle with seven children.

So tragic, the old Shun Pinghou only shouted "Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!" before dying.

Not a word about family.

In fact, the truth revealed by Lian Hansheng's investigation is basically the same as what has been spread.

The difference is that the old Marquis Shunping only led his troops to ambush after receiving the emperor's secret order.

The whereabouts of the old Shunping Hou's family were also leaked by the emperor to the Donghu people on purpose.

The purpose is to attract Donghu soldiers and horses to intercept, and then use ambushes to defeat Donghu soldiers and horses.

Of course, the emperor definitely didn't talk about the family members being used as bait, otherwise it would be too chilling.

However, the old Shunping Hou was vague, and he should be able to know some truths.

But even so, the old Shun Pinghou also recognized it, calmed down, and used his family as bait, waiting to ambush the Donghu people.

After all, based on the situation of the Han court at that time, a big victory was urgently needed to appease the people in the south, as well as the Chinese and military in the court.

And as a northerner and honorable old Shunping Hou, if he can successfully ambush, he will win this big victory.

In the imperial court, he can also gain more power to speak, so as to fight against those important officials from the southern family in the imperial court.

In a sense, it's fine in the big picture.

It was only in the end that the news of the old Shunpinghou's ambush along the way also leaked out, which led to the failure of the ambush.

In the Shunpinghou lineage, only Zhao Ning is left.

Before the old Shunping Hou died, he did not mention his family, but shouted "Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!".

Although it is full of loneliness and regret, there is only despair at the decline of the Han Dynasty.

But I'm afraid there are some of them, and there is a sense of guilt in it.

How can you be ashamed to use your family as bait to mention it?
Although it wasn't the old Shunpinghou's plan, he still implemented it according to the plan, and even paid for the whole family, he was really ashamed to face it.

In the whole incident, the image of the Great Han Emperor is undoubtedly extremely disgraceful.

It may be a struggle to allow Marquis Shunping to be able to fight against the southern clan in the court.

Or simply sacrificed the whole family of Marquis Shunping to solve political enemies for the important officials of the family, and used it to please the southern family.

But no matter what kind of political needs it came from, or the sincere desire to defeat the Donghu people, the revival of the Han Dynasty should return to the old capital.

The emperor owed a lot to Shunping Hou's lineage.

You must know that in the 500 years since Emperor Zhaolie rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, various forces have alternated, and new generations have replaced old ones.

Even Marquis Wu, Marquis Huan, and Marquis Zhuang all lost their inheritance among later generations due to various reasons.

The family is naturally still there, but the direct descendants can no longer be found.

Only Shunping Hou's lineage.

In the past 500 years, from Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong at the beginning to Zhao Ning and Zhao Ziyi now.

Eighteen generations of ancestors, grandparents and grandchildren have been loyal and loyal from generation to generation. Whether it is a young emperor or a mediocre lord, they will support them without hesitation.

But in the end, the situation of Zhao's orphans is really chilling.

This is also the reason why Yue Shaoqian and Xue Jia felt a little uneasy after reading the letter.

In order to inherit the ambition of his father and brother, Zhao Ning traveled thousands of miles and rode into Qiongzhou alone to support the big man.

Counting the lost distance, it might be 20 miles, [-] miles.

It is really rare to be able to find Qiongzhou.

In Jingnan, the white horse silver gun entered seven times and exited seven times, which can also reflect his determination.

But it is unknown what Zhao Ning would think in his heart after knowing such facts and what the late emperor did.

The human heart is something that can't help but change.

But things have come to this, and there is nothing to do.

Since the emperor handed over the truth discovered by Lian Hansheng to Zhao Ning as it was, without worrying about any changes, he still asked him to take the crucial vanguard position when crossing the river, so he must have thought about it.

Soon Zhao Ning's vanguard ship had landed.

The soldiers of the Han army went ashore and fought against the Donghu soldiers who were defending the shore.

The head-to-head bloody battle can be called thrilling.

Bursts of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the war drums were loud and clear.

Zhao Ning's soldiers and horses charged forward bravely, stepping on the corpses of the Donghu people.

Their faces were full of firmness and determination.

After crossing the Yangtze River, the world will widen. It is self-evident what it means to the big man at this time.

And as vanguards, they can be said to have a heavy responsibility!

The Donghu soldiers and horses on the shore, not to be outdone, fought hard.

Shi Zhou and Ah Sui's uncharacteristically respectful and virtuous corporal shared the same hatred with the enemy, which really boosted the morale, so that the Donghu soldiers upheld the heart of revenge and did not flinch.

For a moment, sharp blades slashed, arrows shot, and a desperate struggle began.

But after a melee, neither side had an advantage.

This is extremely unfavorable to the Han army.

The Donghu people are guarding the banks of the Yangtze River, and it is enough to prevent the Han army from landing on a large scale.

As long as you remain undefeated and maintain the front line, along the Yangtze River, there is not enough opportunity for the main force of the Han army to land on a large scale.

But the Han army had to win and advance little by little.

Only in this way can we ensure that we will not be harassed by Donghu people when we land, and we can also free up enough space for subsequent troops to land.

Therefore, the progress was really not smooth, and there was nothing to do with the tight enemy phalanx, and there was no way to make any breakthroughs.

Moreover, Shi Zhouhe and Ah Sui also made special preparations.

Among the Donghu people, there are actually ax soldiers with big axes.

Among the Han army, there are mostly spears and spears, such long-handled weapons.

This is a habit left over from the 20 years of fighting against Donghu in the south.

Long-handled weapons are more convenient to fight against the cavalry that the Donghu people are proud of.

But as the saying goes, one thing falls one thing, your Han army has a way to deal with the cavalry, and my Donghu naturally has a way to deal with you.

Formed ax soldiers are quite handy for chopping long-handled weapons.

As long as you split your spear and spearhead, there is nothing more than a wooden pole.

The Donghu Axemen, with the heavy axes in their hands, made people feel a little palpitating.

In just a moment, hundreds of spears and spears were chopped off by these big axes.

The spearmen behind wanted to take over from the brothers in front, but they stretched out their spears and were easily cut in two.

The spear head fell to the ground, and the spear was useless.

Although it is said that people can be killed without a gun, it is definitely not something that ordinary pawns can do.

Seeing the soldiers of the Han army killing for a while, they still didn't make an inch. Instead, they cut off a large number of spears and spears by themselves.

All of a sudden, those Donghu soldiers couldn't help shouting, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Although there are not many gains.

But judging from the current invincible record of the Han army, it is a rare record for them to be able to withstand the offensive!
And at this moment, Zhao Ning moved!
Pioneers and pioneers, those who can be pioneers must be those who can open up the situation.

Zhao Ning is such a person.

The way he used to open up the situation was personal force.

Seeing this, Shi Zhouhe and Ah Sui immediately set off alarm bells in his heart.

Before Shi Zhou Hecong, he was rushed to death by Zhao Ning riding seven in and seven out alone!
He immediately ordered:

"Zhao Ning is only a man, and the Han army has few soldiers, so they can't support him. Hurry up and form an army to meet the enemy!"

A general who looked at Kong Wu's strength, under the command of Shi Zhou and A Sui, killed him.

At the same time, the Donghu people who were facing Zhao Ning also formed a very basic formation.

There are sword and shield soldiers in front, spearmen in the back, and archers in the back.

When the archers saw Zhao Ning charging forward, they began to release arrows.

Seeing this, Zhao Ning just snorted coldly.

While waving the bright silver gun in his hand, arrows rained down one after another.

The white horse rushed to the front of the formation, and the fierce Donghu general who came out happened to meet him.

Zhao Ning took a shot and flew the saber in his hand.

The second shot came to stab General Donghu's head, and General Donghu quickly lowered his head, feeling a gust of cool wind blowing over his head, and touched his tasseled helmet, but Zhao Ning lifted his tasseled helmet away.

The fierce general felt astonished, he was already a warrior in the army, in terms of martial arts alone, he was not even inferior to some generals.

But this Zhao Ning is too fierce, another shot will kill him!
Frightened, he didn't dare to confront Zhao Ning, so he hurriedly ran away.

The Eastern Hu soldiers behind him also quickly moved out of the way.

Zhao Ning wanted to chase, but the formation closed again. The pikemen behind the big shield held tall spears, and the archers behind them kept shooting cold arrows, which was really uncomfortable.

While blocking the arrows, Zhao Ning looked at the banner of Shi Zhou holding Ah Sui in the middle of the army.

He also wanted to cut down the enemy's general just like crossing the river before, and everything would be fine.

But this time it was not as easy as before, the offensive was launched from the front, and the vest of the enemy general had not even been touched.

But it's not a big problem.

Among the Donghu army along the coast, there is no one comparable to Zhao Ning's martial arts.

He directly used himself as a spear, led the vanguard soldiers and horses, and charged forward!
No matter what kind of axeman or fierce general you are, you directly tore a gap in the tight square formation.

Then, in the tight enemy formation, they killed all directions.

Zhao Ning's movement skills are really so unpredictable.

Stepping on the horse's hooves, the next moment is to dare to ask where the road is.

Even a small number of Donghu soldiers were led astray.

They didn't mess up their formation because of Zhao Ning's unstoppable courage.

After all, there are many people, and they have been prepared for a long time. If one dies, one will follow up, and they can be made up in time.

But in order to stop Zhao Ning, he followed his route and couldn't find North after a while.

Can't tell the direction, where is the formation at all?

In addition, Zhao Ning is indeed unparalleled in bravery, no matter how many Donghu people are in front of him, they will all be destroyed, and flesh and blood will fly all over the place...

Under the leadership of Zhao Ning, the vanguard soldiers of the Han army with more than a thousand people on the shore opened up a corner of the Donghu army, which was strictly guarded! ——
"Your Highness, we need to send more troops to support! Then Zhao Ning is not easy to deal with, there is no strong general in the army who can match him!"

The army is missing a corner. If the Han army is allowed to continue to expand its results, more Han troops will start to land ashore later.

And more Han troops came up, and when the time came to dig this hole, it was enough to completely defeat them.

Shi Zhouhao's complexion was serious.

This Zhao Ning almost regards seven in and seven out as routine equipment, they are Donghu warriors, not orchids!

He can see most clearly from the rear, what position does this have to take?

Rao Yi's soldiers who galloped through the desert all the year round couldn't figure out where Zhao Ning would go next!

But Shi Zhouhe and Ah Sui suddenly discovered that the current situation was already considered good for them.

There is no strong general in the army who can match Zhao Ning, so is there anyone who can match Liu Zhier's chessboard?

Let Zhao Ning be the vanguard, this is already the consequence of the Han army underestimating the enemy!
"Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning"

Shi Zhou and Ah Sui were thinking about it.

"Zhao Ning is hoping to use his personal bravery to create chaos and frighten our army."

"Cooperate with the vanguard soldiers and horses, work hard, gain an absolute advantage in some parts, and after breaking through the array, we will meet the follow-up army to go ashore!"

Shi Zhou and A Sui's eyes kept moving along the Yangtze River.

He still has soldiers and horses in his hands, not only the heavy soldiers guarding the front line along the coast, but also the reserve team to support the replenishment at any time.

Although Zhao Ning was brave, it was difficult for him to break through their defense line for a while.

Thinking only for a moment, Shi Zhou and A Sui raised and lowered his hands, thinking:
"It's not too early in the day, and the Han army must be rushing to cross the river. If they wait until night, troubles will easily arise."

"As a vanguard, Zhao Ning killed the enemy regardless of physical exertion, so he must want a quick victory."

"Then Liu Zhi'er in the back must also know that there is no delay."

"In this case, then continue to fight slowly and grind slowly with the Han army."

"It just so happens that Wei Chengxian's subordinates haven't come yet."

"When Wei Chengxian brought our soldiers disguised as the Han army to approach the Han army, and suddenly turned against him, the Han army would be unprepared, and they would suffer heavy losses and their morale would be low."

"That's when the winner will be decided!"

Shi Zhouhao and A Sui immediately gave the order, and the main thing was a delaying war.

And for Zhao Ning, he still has a way.

His father Shi Zhouhao Ahu once mentioned to him that the death of the old Shunping Hou was not that simple.

He immediately sent someone, shouting in turn, to deliver the message:
"Zhao Ning!"

"Do you know why the ambush of the old Marquis Shunping was exposed!!"

"You are loyal to the Han, riding alone on the Savior, don't save the wrong person!"

Shi Zhou and A Sui didn't care if it was useful or not.

As long as he can disturb Zhao Ning and make Liu Zhi'er sick, he will be comfortable.

And without a doubt, this is a flashpoint.

Even today on the battlefield, it can't play much role.

After the war, Zhao Ning would definitely have pimples in his heart, because the Donghu people mentioned his late father, and felt something was wrong, so they investigated what happened back then.

It's easy to find something when you check it.

Now the Han army seems to be fighting from the outside, and it has become very difficult to fight head-on.

So why not try to disintegrate from within?

However, at this moment, the Yangtze River not far away seemed to be churning, and a wave was hitting, completely involving the letter-shaped object.

It always makes people feel a little ominous.

Shi Zhouhao's words reached Zhao Ning's ears after the Donghu people roared in turn.

He froze for a moment, the bright silver gun in his hand even slowed down for a moment, almost falling off in no time.

The battlefield at this moment seemed to be suffocatingly quiet.

Seeing his general, the generals of the Han army couldn't help being puzzled by the sudden hesitation.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the old Shunping Hou?
Seeing this, Shi Zhouhe and Ah Sui felt ecstatic in his heart.

Zhao Ning, the vanguard, if something goes wrong, it will not be so easy for the Han army to go ashore!

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Zhao Ning just hesitated a little.

He stabbed a few Donghu soldiers to death, and suddenly retreated to the Han army. The ghostly marching route made all the Donghu soldiers jump into the air.

Then, he swept the silver gun in his hand, pointed at the Yangtze River behind, and said sharply:
"Soldiers!"

"15 years ago, my late father, Zhao Ling, was ordered to be stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River."

It is not easy to convey words on the battlefield.

The few words of Shi Zhou and A Sui had to be sung repeatedly by dozens of Donghu strong men with thick voices before they reached Zhao Ning's ears.

But Zhao Ning is worthy of being a strong man who can enter seven times and exit seven times. His voice alone can rival those dozens of Donghu strong men.

The clear voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"The late father did not hesitate to send his family to the front line as bait to attract Donghu people to attack and lure soldiers to ambush."

Zhao Ning looked solemn. At that time, he was only a few years old, but he seemed to have witnessed everything that was so tragic in that year.

"However, my late father's whereabouts were revealed, and the ambush failed."

"Seven generals of my Zhao family died in battle and died for the country. My wife, daughter and family members were also murdered by Donghu people."

"There are only three sighs of crossing the river."

"I dreamed of my late father last night. I know that the heroic spirits of my father and brother who died in the battle still brought tens of thousands of soldiers to gather on the Yangtze River, drifting with the current and lingering."

"They failed to defeat the Donghu people."

"As a result, the big Han was trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, unable to counterattack, and retreated steadily, so the resentment is hard to dissipate."

"Cross the river!"

"It's been 15 years since my late father's last words."

"They were trapped by the Yangtze River for 15 years!"

Zhao Ning choked with sobs, suddenly turned the silver gun in his hand, pointed at the Donghu people in front from the river, and shouted sharply:

"today."

"Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!"
