Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2786 One should pursue the enemy with great courage, not seek fame like Xiang Yu.

Under Li Xiang's orders, Huo Qubing personally handled all the matters.

Soon, a simple yet solemn altar was quickly erected on the mountaintop.

The firewood was made from the valuable ceremonial items and flags captured by the enemy, and the core of the offerings was Ögedei's golden crown and sword.

The gale raged even more fiercely on the mountaintop. Huo Qubing removed his tattered armor and put on the general's uniform hastily presented by the official in charge of ceremonies. Although it was a bit rushed, his upright figure stood on the mountaintop, exuding a majestic and indomitable spirit.

Li Xiang led his generals and countless soldiers, standing solemnly beneath the altar, gazing silently.

There were no elaborate rituals or lengthy prayers.

Under the witness of the heavens and the wilderness, and under the gaze of countless ardent eyes, Huo Qubing, the champion of the Great Jin Dynasty, personally lit the altar.

The flames roared up, engulfing the offerings that represented the glory of the Yuan Mongol Khan. The firelight illuminated his young and resolute face, as well as the excited faces of countless Jin soldiers below the mountain.

To seal the wolf's lair and reside in the Xu state is the highest honor for every martial artist.

Today, every soldier present can learn from what happened today and feel honored.

Huo Qubing, standing on the high platform, faced the direction of his homeland in the Central Plains to the south, holding the jade tablet bestowed upon him by Li Xiang, and loudly proclaimed.

"Your subject, Huo Qubing, the champion of the Great Jin Dynasty, has been ordered by the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth at this Langjuxu Mountain!"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's divine might and the soldiers' valiant efforts, we have now pacified the Yuan Mongols and executed the false emperor Ögedei!"

"From this day forward, the northern grasslands will be entirely within the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty! The threat of the nomadic cavalry sweeping south will be forever eliminated!"

"May the spirits of all the Chinese people rest in peace! Long live the Great Jin Dynasty! Long live His Majesty!"

After Huo Qubing finished speaking, he performed the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

The flames on the altar burned even brighter, shooting straight into the sky, as if they truly wanted to send this good news and oath to the heavens.

After the ceremony, Huo Qubing rose, turned to face the thousands of soldiers below the mountain, and suddenly drew his sword, pointing it towards the sky!
"Long live the Great Jin Dynasty! Long live His Majesty!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The next moment, the entire area surrounding Langjuxu Mountain...

Whether on the mountaintop or at the foot of the mountain, all the Jin soldiers, whether generals or common soldiers, frantically raised their weapons.

He shouted with all his might, wave after wave of sound like thunder, crashing against the sky and shaking this ancient land!

Looking at this scene, at Huo Qubing's figure in the firelight, and at the bustling crowd below the mountain, Li Xiang felt a surge of heroic emotion.

To seal the wolf's lair and dwell in the Xu!

This is not only Huo Qubing's personal honor, but also the pinnacle symbol of the entire Jin Dynasty's military merit system, and the most glorious chapter in the history of the empire's military achievements!
From this day forward, this sacred mountain on the grassland will forever bear the mark of the Han people!

He slowly drew his sword, echoing the cheers of thousands of soldiers.

A strong wind swept across the land, dispersing the smoke of battle and seemingly clearing away the gloom that had shrouded the northern frontier for centuries.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on Mount Langjuxu, turning the fluttering Han flags into a dazzling gold.

From this point on, the northern part of the Great Jin Dynasty shall be at peace!
"Ding! Huo Qubing has completed the achievement 'Sealing the Wolf and Dwelling in the Mountain,' and the reward is a random three-attribute permanent increase of +1. His current strength, command, and politics will be increased by +1. Huo Qubing's attributes will be permanently increased to command 101, strength 104, intelligence 89, and politics 66."

As expected, Huo Qubing indeed triggered this achievement.

This also elevated Huo Qubing's own attributes to a new level.

This was of immense significance to Huo Qubing.

With Lian Po and Wang Jian passing away one after another, Bai Qi and Wei Qing also beginning to suffer from illness in the past two years, Xue Rengui passing away due to old age, and Yue Fei, Meng Tian, ​​Li Mu, Li Jing, and others still in relatively good health, but also getting older year by year, Huo Qubing will soon become one of the few remaining pillars of the Jin Dynasty's military.

Even Huo Qubing, who was already in his forties, could still support the military of the Jin Dynasty for at least the next ten years, even if this generation completely aged.

Therefore, although they were both surrendered generals, Li Xiang's promotion of Han Xin was far greater than that of Tian Dan and Li Guangbi.

As for Xu Xiao, that old man who was already close to seventy, he died not long after the end of the Northern War!

November of the fourth year of Jian'an.

Han Xin and Yue Fei's main forces arrived at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain one after another, and victoriously joined forces with Li Xiang and Huo Qubing's 3 troops.

At the foot of Langjuxu Mountain, Li Xiang delivered a powerful declaration in the presence of the soldiers of the three armies.

At the same time, the rewards for meritorious soldiers were announced on the spot.

Even the Manchu imperial family members Aisin Gioro Yinxiang and Yintao, who died in this battle, were posthumously granted the titles of Earl of Shunyi and Earl of Guizhong by Li Xiang.

On Langjuxu Mountain, Li Xiang met up with many old friends he hadn't seen for decades, along with the Manchu troops who joined Han Xin.

For example, Wanyan Zongbi, who was the first enemy Li Xiang faced after transmigrating.

After decades of trials and tribulations, the two sides met again at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain. However, their statuses were now worlds apart.

Wanyan Zongbi was already over sixty years old. This time, he came by sheer willpower, just to witness the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.

At the foot of Langjuxu Mountain, he saw the tattered royal banner of the Yuan Dynasty and the only remaining small, solitary grave of Ögedei Khan.

After laughing three times, he suddenly passed away.

Another familiar face has left this world.

This battle has shattered the main force of the Yuan Mongol court and killed Emperor Ögedei.

However, Li Xiang is still not ready to give up.

Although the Yuan Mongol royal court had been wiped out by the Great Jin, large and small tribes still roamed the vast grasslands north of Liangzhou and Bingzhou. He planned to send troops to completely wipe out these tribes.

Of course, with the main force of the Yuan Mongol royal court already collapsed, these matters no longer required the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops.

Therefore, Li Xiang ordered Meng Tian and Han Xin to lead the main infantry force back to the northern provinces, while he led Yue Fei and Huo Qubing with the main cavalry force, as well as the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry, in five separate routes to sweep across the various tribes of the grasslands.

Li Xiang's move caused an uproar among the various tribes on the grasslands.

Upon hearing this news, countless tribes recklessly migrated to the north and west, moving as far as they could.

If you can't afford to fight, can't you at least avoid it?

They were to continue migrating until the Jin army could no longer catch them.

In this battle, Emperor Taizu completely broke the backbone of the northern grasslands that had stood for a century, ensuring that the northern grasslands would be free from major threats for the next hundred years.

Therefore, later generations sang about it.

"After the wolf sacrifice, the horn bows sounded, and the king watched from afar as the enemy cavalry collapsed."

It is advisable to chase the poor with the courage of the left, but not to be the overlord.

With golden spears sweeping across three thousand miles, and iron cavalry treading over ten thousand peaks amidst the clouds.

"And let the heavenly army drive them to the desolate lands, raising their banners once more beyond the northern deserts!"
