My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 279 I had a dream alone
"...But in such a small corner of the north, since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, the Xirong people have been invading continuously on the adjacent grasslands. In this vast country, how many times have they come in, burned, killed and looted? When Gu was still young , just listening to their cruel and murderous stories, where do you think of the great men in the North?!"

Su Chen stood on the edge of the high platform and looked at the faces looking up below: "Ever since I became sensible, I have always yearned for the imperial court. I hope that the men in the imperial court can defeat the Xirong barbarians, at least so that they will not dare to step into Yan again. However, I was wrong. There was a severe drought in several states the year before last, and the imperial court was singing and dancing to bring peace. Later, when the Xirong came in, they were the ones who let them in. This imperial court is in a state of decay. A country that cannot even protect its own people deserves to be destroyed!"

The lieutenant generals below clenched their fists and stared closely at the aloof King Xia.

"The Xirong barbarians came to bully us, and the Wei Kingdom in the south sent troops to bully us. The civil and military officials in the court, including the emperor, are also oppressing us. Have you had enough?"

Su Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Enough is enough!"

The low words paused for a moment, and he closed his eyes as if he could hear weak breathing coming and going.

In the depths of memory, intermittent images flash past.

...It's the old man who buried his loved ones alone after his family was ruined.
...It's the woman who was hung on the treetop with her body in a mess.
… It’s the broken city wall, stained with the blood of soldiers
...the foolish and loyal man who opened the city gates and let the barbarians in.

Shaking scene: On the street of Yantang Pass, a trembling old man kneels on the ground with a cane. He is shouting: "Your Majesty, kill Xirong!"

At a certain moment, Su Chen opened his eyes, his eyes piercing with murderous intent.

"I have had enough of these Xirong barbarians endlessly intruding on the people of the North. Which household in Yantang Pass does not have a blood feud with them?! They are cruel and trample on our land, but I fought back and beat them three times. , won three times, who told them that they can only come to our place, but we cannot go to their homes!"

Whoa!
Su Chen waved his right arm.

"And the Wei State in the Central Plains massacred two cities in Fenzhou and killed nearly [-] people. He avenged [-] people alone, defeated a million-strong army in the Central Plains, and killed their emperor. It was the best way to deal with the enemy. , just bury them in the soil. Then, tell the people in the world who are hostile to us and have bullied us that when we pick up the butcher knife, there will be no reason to explain!"

Below, in a dense array, are large, rough faces, all red, with eager eyes.

The civil and military officers in the front row raised their heads one by one and looked towards the high platform.

Su Chen stood on the edge of the high platform, raised his head and was silent for a while, then spoke again, his voice was low and powerful.

"Before coming here, I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that our northern land would no longer be invaded by the Xirong people. Our caravans and people could freely enter and leave the passes, and see the endless grasslands, and the herding children sitting on the backs of cows. The superiors pointed at us and laughed, our fields are growing lush crops, and the farmers sit on the edges of the fields and enjoy the cool breeze, so they don’t have to worry about barbarians suddenly coming to kill us.”

"I have a long dream. I dreamed that the southern country and the people on that land would no longer call us northern barbarians and would accept us in a friendly manner."

“I dreamed of countless sails floating on the sea, sailing from afar, loaded with countless and inexhaustible food and wealth. The Gu people no longer starve and freeze, no longer worry about their livelihood, and no longer change their children. Eat each other, sell your sons and daughters!”

"Gu Huan dreamed that the six countries in the world would no longer be separated and would be unified, and there would be no more wars in the world; he dreamed that the 72 countries in the Western Regions, and even the more distant countries in the Western Regions, would be visited by all nations to congratulate him and from all directions."

Su Chen's voice paused.

"This... is Gu's dream, the life in the dream, the peaceful life of the people in the world, the life of your descendants is not just a dream, everything needs to be advanced with wisdom and blade, if we want our descendants to live To live in a world like the one in the dream requires the steel swords in the hands of the soldiers under Gu's command, and the wisdom of the civil servants in the court."

Su Chen was wearing a big cloak and took off his long boots. The armor leaves groaned as he moved, and his words became louder and louder. "If we don't do this in this generation, our descendants will still be ridiculed as northern barbarians. The Xirong people will still linger outside the customs and will come in at any time to burn, kill and plunder. In ten or a hundred years, our land and descendants will be affected by other countries." We will be trampled upon by others, we will sell our dignity for a bite to eat, and we will become the souls of the Xirong people under the butcher’s knife.”

"Do you want to see your descendants slaves for generations to come?!"

Candles were brightly lit, and high-pitched voices roared across the palace.

"I don't want to!" In the silent phalanx, a captain shouted hysterically, and the next second, countless figures screamed fanatically.

"I don't want to!"

The huge sound mixed with the energy and smoke rushed straight to the dome, which was suffocating.

"I don't want to see it!"

Su Chen waved his arms and clenched his fists: "When this scene occurs, it shows that we are ignorant and have no courage, and we cannot give future generations a place to live! Isolated soldiers, remember, when the enemy bullies you at the door of your home, Without any revenge, just shouting a few words, that is boneless!

Just like the Xirong people more than a month ago, they came to kill, but they were defeated, but they will come again, just because we did not let them feel the pain of being kicked into their homes. If we want peace in the north, we must thoroughly Beat them thoroughly until they surrender, and let them know forever and ever that the people of the North not only wield hoes, but also have murderous steel knives, and are determined to exterminate their race! "

Su Chen stood still and glanced at the generals and civil and military ministers below: "...Since the Xirong people attacked Yantang Pass, even if they were defeated, they still declared war on us, everyone! Just like those emperors and ministers did back then. , swallow your anger, retreat into the city and enjoy peace, or should you humble yourself and bend your knees and send a woman to their tent in exchange for peace?"

As if a certain memory from the past was poked into their minds, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yi, Lei Tong and other late Han generals narrowed their eyes, and even civil servants such as Jia Xu and Guo Jia gritted their teeth.

"Of course not!" Queen Mother Jiang Wan stood up suddenly on the viewing platform, hugged her son beside her, and clenched her fists.

The civil and military personnel below the high platform, and even the military generals arrayed behind them all surrendered.

"cannot!"

"Okay! This is what Gu's soldiers should be like! Since we can't, let's show the Xirong people that Gu's northern men can not only attack cities and strongholds, but also go deep into the grasslands to fight them to the death."

Su Chen looked at the palace door and the white dragon flags on black background paved around the door, and narrowed his eyes: "Even if we fight to the last soldier, this war will not end. If you want to be a coward for the rest of your life, you still want to be glorious. Lintel?"

"This battle, let our descendants remember us for 1000 or 1 years. Together we will perfect this map after we are alone, and classify all the land on it as the soil for our descendants to live. What do you think? !”

Outside the hall, white clouds appeared in the eastern sky and dawn arrived.

In the early morning of this Qingming day, countless people were running around under the sky across the Yan Kingdom. Everything began to gather, and it also gathered in everyone's heart.

Then, it completely exploded in people's hearts.
