Eternal Gate

The king of Wei committed suicide and most of the rebels surrendered.

However, the Tang Dynasty's Northern Expedition did not stop there and went straight to Dengzhou City.

On this day, the Tang army divided into three groups, all heading north to attack the city and regain the lost territory.

"Report, Lingzhou will be restored."

"Marshal Zilong captured Qinzhou City yesterday."

"Your Majesty, Yanmen Pass has been recaptured."

The Tang army was unstoppable along the way, with good news coming frequently and shocking both the government and the public.

When the new emperor heard the news, his eyes filled with excitement, and he knelt before the deceased emperor's soul and cried loudly.

"Xuanzong, God will not destroy the Tang Dynasty."

Xiao Yuxian's eyes were filled with tears, and she finally let go of her breath.

That night, she fell ill, her face gradually became haggard, and she lost her former vitality.

At Yanmen Pass, the three armies gathered, green and gray were flying.

Those were the ashes of the late emperor and the eldest princess, scattered outside the Yanmen Pass as they had wished during their lifetimes.

war!

Yanmen Pass was not the end point of the Northern Expedition, and the Tang army was still fighting north.

It was not until the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Black Ancient Dynasty that Zhao Yun issued an order to cease the war.

It's not that they are afraid of the Black Ancient Dynasty, but that the Tang Dynasty has gone through several wars and its national strength has been greatly damaged. It is in urgent need of recuperation and it is really not suitable to fight again.

call!

Seeing that the Tang army stopped chasing and killing, the remaining defeated soldiers of the Fire Flag Army breathed a sigh of relief.

Strong, those madmen were too strong. In the battle with Cangyuan, they beheaded their marshal and also broke their undefeated myth.

"The war is over."

When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty said these words, many of them collapsed to the ground.

Tired, too tired, everyone leaned under the city wall and closed their eyes in exhaustion.

How many days had passed since the Three Kings rebelled, and they were either fighting or on their way to the battlefield.

Now, I can finally sleep well.

The border under the moon is peaceful and quiet, with only bursts of snoring.

"Uncle Master."

Mingyu didn't sleep and handed a thick booklet to Zhao Yun.

When I opened it, I saw that all the names in the album were names of people who had died in the war since the Northern Expedition.

At first glance, it is shocking to see how many heroic souls have been buried in this **** war.

“Don’t leave anything out, report everything.”

Zhao Yun's voice was hoarse and he carefully closed the book.

The soldiers whose bones are buried in a foreign country need to remember their achievements, and they need to be kind to their parents, wives and children.

"waste."

The one who couldn't sleep was the emperor of the Black Ancient Dynasty, who was furious in the court.

Cang Yue Fire Flag Army, the ace cavalry of the Black Ancient Dynasty! The battle with the King of Wei resulted in a huge defeat in which he was killed. Not only did he suffer heavy casualties, he also suffered a great loss of face.

They agreed to divide the world equally, but after the decisive battle, they were slapped in the face.

"Call me back."

The emperor of the Black Ancient Dynasty roared angrily and issued an order that night.

He is not stupid and can see the current situation. The Tang Dynasty has been severely weakened due to the rebellion of the three kings, and its foundation is unstable due to the succession of the new emperor. In addition, due to continuous wars and lack of military strength, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As the old saying goes, never look back until you hit the wall.

Some people, even if they hit the wall, still feel that they are stubborn.

And the emperor of the Black Ancient Dynasty is certain people.

He raised an army on a large scale, summoned millions of people, and marched to the border with great momentum.

After that, Tang Jun showed him what it means to be powerful in combat.

There is not enough attack power, but there is more than enough defense.

This is the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty that has experienced the baptism of war.

The Heigu Dynasty should be thankful that Zhao Zilong is in poor condition.

If he could still pray for rain again, he would definitely treat the Heigu Dynasty to a meal of ice dumplings.

"withdraw troops."

After being unable to attack for a long time and being dealt with intermittently for three days, Emperor Baigu finally sent a truce.

It was agreed to withdraw the troops, but only half of the million-strong army was withdrawn, and the rest were piled among the generals.

The Tang army led by that talented man named Zhao was really capable of fighting.

He had to be careful. If he couldn't protect everything, the Tang army would come and kill him.

"Kill him." Emperor Heigu said coldly.

Just do it, I don’t know how many people sneaked into Datang.

They are all masters, most active at night, waiting for opportunities to assassinate Zhao Zilong.

"How much do you have? How much do you have? How much do you have?"

Every time there is an assassination, the killers will inevitably be lectured.

Who is Zhao Zilong, the commander-in-chief of the three armies? The guards around him are comparable to the emperor of the dynasty, and a few little shrimps cannot send him away.

"good very good."

Emperor Hei Gu did not change his original intention, but he changed his approach.

He is the emperor, and he knows what the emperor is most afraid of. Few people with great achievements have a good ending.

He wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was his sword.

One day, he sent an envoy to Kyoto in the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that they are discussing an alliance, but in fact they are secretly deceiving the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. Don't be idle on weekdays. If you have anything to do, you can read someone's book: With great achievements and powerful troops, can your emperor sleep?

Not to mention, there are really those who are motivated by interests, who run up to the emperor and make impassioned speeches.

"Your Majesty, more than 80% of our army in the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of Zhao Zilong, we must be on guard!"

"As your Majesty sees it, that's what it should be." The emperor looked at the courtiers with a smile.

"Recall him to the capital, relinquish his military power, and kill him on trial." The court official said immediately.

"What's his crime?"

"There are many rumors in the world that he wants to rebel."

"My dear, I have a worry, and I need to lend you something to relieve my sorrow. Is that okay?" The emperor was still smiling.

"It's a shame, old slave. Don't say anything, it doesn't matter your wealth and life." The court official said righteously and sternly.

"If that's the case, I won't be polite." The emperor smiled and stopped laughing. "Come here, pull him down and chop him down."

"This...this...I..."

The courtier was completely confused, holding back a lot of words.

After that, he was dragged out, pushed all the way to the Meridian Gate, and beheaded on the spot.

His death was not unjust.

At least, in the emperor's opinion, he should be killed by a thousand cuts.

If Zhao Zilong really wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled when he put down King Yang. Why wait until today?

"go home."

Reflecting the light of morning, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the border pass.

"General, see you again when we are destined." On the border of Wuzhou, Marshal Longqi said goodbye.

The Holy One ordered him to go to Dongtu to guard the country. The little Korea over there has been very restless recently.

"See you again when we are destined." Zhao Yun smiled slightly.

Marshal Longqi left. He walked a long way without forgetting to look back.

In his life, he admired few people, and Zhao Zilong was one of the few.

"coming."

The army marched to Youzhou City and saw a group of people gathering at the gate of the city.

You can see the lord of Youzhou City and a group of officials, plus the people in the city, waiting in the street to greet you.

"He is Zhao Zilong, the current leader of the martial arts alliance?"

"Well, we are the first civil and military champion in the history of the Tang Dynasty."

"I heard that the emperor has issued an edict to make him the general of the country." Before the army entered the city, they could hear the buzzing, and Zhao Zilong's name was the most frequently used words, Pingyang Wang, Zheng Wang. The Western Regions, the Battle of Beiyuan...the legends about him have long been spread among the people and are quite legendary.

color.

"General, please."

The Lord of Youzhou City is quite sensible and has already prepared a banquet to welcome the Northern Expeditionary Army.

To this end, he specially invited a theater troupe to carefully select a good show to entertain the soldiers.

Zhao Yun didn't want to join in the fun, but when he saw a figure on the stage, he lost his mind for a moment.

That was a woman, without makeup or costumes, with a peerless appearance.

"She..." Zhao Yun murmured, still in a daze.

Once, he looked at the moon more than once, just because there were people dancing in the moon.

And the man in the moon looked exactly like the actress on the stage.

"Is he Zhao Zilong?"

The female actor's lotus steps are graceful, her sleeves are lightly rolled up, and she hides her face and looks back.

Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and beauties have always admired great men.

At one glance, she was so intoxicated that she almost forgot the words of the play even though she was walking gracefully.

It was also a glance, their eyes met, and the two of them suddenly felt a sense of... deja vu.

"Yes, Not Bad."

How far-sighted the Lord of Youzhou City is! The general was so fascinated that he must have fallen in love with the actor. It's easy to talk to him, but he's afraid he won't like it. After the drama ends, he will make arrangements clearly.
