Chapter 693 Broken Heart ([-])

After a few days, God became more and more calm.

When the battle of Xizhou came, Su Chao, the general who conquered the west, had stepped into the Jincheng area. Once Jincheng was lost, there was really not much room left for Tao Mingwen.

It was said before that Tao Mingwen had 20 Xizhou soldiers, but now I look at it, except for the Red Dragon Army who can fight, the others are just a group of chickens and dogs. With some blood, it is okay to bully ordinary government troops, Cao Su Those under his command are all elite troops who have gone through hundreds of battles, and Tao Mingwen's so-called elite soldiers are simply unstoppable.

After the defeat of the Red Dragon Army, Tao Mingwen lost all courage, and the next battle in Xizhou will only enter the tug-of-war between being encircled and suppressed and counter-encircled and suppressed.

The war in Xizhou progressed smoothly. After the beginning of spring, Cao Su issued a spring plowing order.

The time of spring plowing in each region is not the same, but there will be some sacrificial activities on spring plowing day. In areas like Shendu, the customs of rewarding cattle and offering sacrifices to birds are used to express the importance of spring plowing, which in turn stimulates the enthusiasm of farmers for production.

Cao Su's spring plowing order this time is to bring forth the new through the old. On the basis of the original Daozong Dynasty, he added new policies such as the "equal land system". Sowing seeds, Cao Su determined the legitimacy and independence of farming in this policy, and the court could not forcibly take back the land in the name of taxation.

The reduction in the cost of farming will further stimulate the enthusiasm for production. Cao Su copied the successful experience in Youzhou and Jizhou, and redistributed the original land with a number of systems such as the "farm system" and "equal field system".

If it was the former capital of God, it might be difficult to advance.

However, the current God City has suffered great trauma. Many rich people in the God City have died or injured in their homes. The resources such as the dignitaries and status of the God City have been readjusted. The common people at the bottom also have the opportunity to obtain land directly and at low cost.

This land is protected by the imperial court, to be precise, it is protected by Cao Su.

There were very few voices obstructing Cao Su in the court, and Cao Su easily carried out this policy.

A few days later, it was late April, and both Situ Mansion and Sima Mansion suddenly received good news, saying that Feng Huaner, the daughter of Situ Mansion, would marry the eldest son of Sima Mansion on the eighth day of next month. Wei Sima Changfeng.

Sima Changfeng had already been married, but his wife had passed away many years ago, and he hadn't re-wound in these years.

He is not too old, and he has always been handsome in Yushu Linfeng, so it is easy for people to overlook his age.

But since it was the daughter of Situ's mansion who was married, it was a big deal.

The daughter of Situ Mansion, Feng Huan'er, was not as famous as Sima Changfeng, but her fame soon spread. Some people described that Feng Huan'er was a peerless beauty, charming and charming, and she was a first-class beauty. After Ling Sima Changfeng saw Feng Huaner, he lost his soul and asked Feng Situ to marry Feng Huaner.

I heard that Sir Situ was hesitant at first, after all, Sima Changfeng was already married, but he couldn't stand Sima Changfeng's pursuit, and Sima's family is now completely established in the court, Sima Changfeng is again One of the few captains in the Yulin Army will definitely follow the path of the Jinwuwei general in the future, so after a little hesitation, Master Situ agreed to marry off his daughter.

The matter quickly spread in the city, but it caused quite a stir. In the streets and alleys, there were a lot of people exploring the matter.

The news reached Shendu Mansion, and Cao Su went to Liu Yiqi to inquire about it.

Liu Yiqi gave Cao Su an angry look, and couldn't help but sneered in her heart, but her face was still full of laughter, but her tone was not very good: "Husband, what do you mean? If you want to know about this For the reason, you can directly ask Master Situ."

"Ask Feng Yuchan? He doesn't have the same heart with me, why should I go to him?"

Cao Su shook his head and laughed dumbly: "Don't think too much, I just want to know why the two of them got together. The Situ family is already considered a top dignitary in the court, and the Sima family is also in the capital of God. It's deeply rooted, if these two families really get married, I'm afraid."

Cao Su didn't continue talking, but Liu Yiqi was so smart that she already understood what Cao Su meant.

She had a look of disbelief on her face: "No way? Since these two families dare to announce this news, they must be aboveboard and want to get married, and they probably won't have any other ideas."

Cao Su was noncommittal: "This is the dark under the lights. Everyone thinks this is normal, because no one will think about it, but this is also a clever thing. All of you think that it is impossible to be so frank. , that’s why they breed a deeper desire.”

The two sat in the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard, and beside it was a simple courtyard like a small bridge and flowing water.

Liu Yiqi still didn't understand, but she didn't continue to refute Cao Su.

And Cao Su simply asked about this matter. Now the entire court is under his control, the war in Xizhou is going smoothly, and Anyang is gradually recovering. There are only two goals for everything, one is to eradicate The troubles in the imperial court will give the Cao family a more stable living environment. The other thing is to gradually increase their personal strength to the mysterious level and accept the challenge of Tongtian City.

Other things are not important in Cao Su's eyes.

He thought about it and put it behind him.
-
After another ten days, we entered the fifth month of the seventh year of Xuanhe.

The gods became more and more calm, and all businesses were on the right track. The wine shops in the city opened, gambling houses, brothels and other entertainment venues began to stay open at night. Every day, a large number of literati and poets embarked on a happy life.

In Xizhou, as Tao Mingwen was repeatedly defeated by the army led by the Su Dynasty, the territory under Tao Mingwen's command became smaller and smaller, and the number of troops became smaller and smaller.

On May [-], Tao Mingwen was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops under Su Chao in the desert north of Jincheng.

At this time, the Su Dynasty had an army of [-], not only did not have any damage to its strength, on the contrary, after a series of victories, it recruited a large number of Xizhou soldiers. He chose the best of them, and his strength gradually increased. trend.

In the battle on May [-], Tao Mingwen was defeated by the Soviet Dynasty again.

This time, Shi Yong, Ma Chao, Luo Yushu, Miao Hongji and other four generals under Su Chao's command came out together, each leading more than 3 cavalry, forming an ambush from ten sides, and defeated Tao Mingwen's last remnant army of [-] soldiers Crashed on the spot.

This time, Su Chao did not hide in the central army to supervise the battle, but personally raised [-] tiger and cardinal cavalry to form a breakthrough from the front.

He has reached the first rank of combat strength and is the most powerful person in the imperial army. Holding a soul-breaking spear, he fought all the way from the north to the south, smashing through Tao Mingwen's army. More than 3 remnants of Tao Mingwen were defeated. Chao Ze pursues all the way.

The invincible General Soaring to the Sky in the past was desperate, and was finally besieged by Su Chao and his young generals on a small dirt mountain in the desert of Xizhou.

The Su Dynasty sent an order to allow Tao Mingwen to surrender to the court.

But Tao Mingwen just smiled wryly, and was unwilling to surrender to the court.

He said: "The reason why I rebelled was because I couldn't understand the corrupt style of the imperial court. I was besieged and suppressed by the general Cao Su today. , throughout his life, it is nothing more than a helpless end towards the inevitable end."

After finishing speaking, Tao Mingwen drew his sword and killed himself on the earth mountain.

At this point, the Western Province was pacified, and it took the Su Dynasty less than half a year to defeat Tao Mingwen, who had plundered and threatened the imperial court several times, and brought the entire three western states back under the imperial court's control.

This battle is known as the "Battle of Jincheng", also known as the "Battle of Xizhou".

Afterwards, Su Chao wrote two battle reports, which were sent to the court and the General's Mansion successively, but the battle report from the General's Mansion was faster than the one from the court.

Everyone felt that what Su Chao did was right, and this was the minimum respect for General Cao Su.

However, no one knows that the Su Dynasty is the great general Cao Su. Cao Su knows everything that happened in Xizhou, including the boy Tao Mingwen who was unwilling to surrender. In the end, the blood spattered five steps and killed himself in front of him. He did the same. It is also clear.

Although the person is not on the scene, it seems to be happening right in front of your eyes.

The news was like wings, and quickly passed through Xiguan and came to the city of Shendu.

The entire city of Shendu is boiling, and Xizhou is pacified?

Tao Mingwen, the number one thief in Xizhou who was about to break through the city of God, has now been put down by the court?
The general didn't even go out in person, but only dispatched an unknown scholar general to lead a hundred thousand soldiers, to clean up this corrupt mess in Xizhou?
Why did Xizhou lose so quickly?This is too unreasonable, right?
Everyone didn't understand, but those who cared quickly thought of another problem.

If Xizhou is pacified, according to previous inferences, Cao Su now occupies almost eight states, and all areas north of Luoshui have already surrendered to Cao Su. king.

Is Cao Su going to be king?

King Yan is reborn?

With this flow of thoughts, the atmosphere in Shendu City became more subtle.

More and more people came to the General's Mansion to see Cao Su every day, but these few days, Cao Su was really not in the General's Mansion, so he didn't have time to meet everyone, so he just closed the door and disappeared, which made the city even worse. People panic.

Occasionally, there will be some stubborn old courtiers who are heartbroken: "No matter how great the contribution is, it is also a minister of Qianyuan. How can you be king and hegemony? If you treat the court as nothing, it will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later."
