I am the prince in the heavens

Chapter 207 Han Diao Temple

In this way, less than two months after the start of the war, the first battle of Liangmang ended with the defeat of Beimang. The 60 troops who invaded the south, plus the tens of thousands who participated in the follow-up battle, had a total strength of 65 troops. Less than 30 were withdrawn. Such a loss is enough to hurt the bones.

Beiliang and Liyang's reinforcements also lost a lot. Beiliang suffered more than [-] casualties in this battle, including many elite soldiers. Youzhou general Yan Wenluan died, and Beiliang's defense line was dilapidated.

Fortunately, with the addition of Qingzhuang from the Western Regions and Liuzhou, the lost [-] troops will soon be replenished.

As for the [-] elite soldiers sent to reinforce Liyang, it was a bit miserable. The [-] Jiaodong cavalry lost nearly two-thirds, and there were less than [-] horses left.

The reinforcements in Tai'an City also lost nearly half, and the commander of the imperial army, Le Zhang, died in battle.

Black-clothed monk Yang Taisui's golden body was shattered, draining the last drop of blood. His name was engraved forever on the stone tablet on Qingliang Mountain, and there were words written by Xu Xiao on it: Beiliang King Xu Xiao is best friends, black Yi monk Yang Taisui!

And at the most tragic north gate, people finally found the dying Han Diao Temple among the mountain-like corpses. At this time, although he saved his life, his skills were exhausted.

At the cost of 15 casualties, more than 30 Beimang elites were killed. This battle can be regarded as a big victory. Such a victory is also rare in the entire history of fighting against foreign races.

The news spread to Tai'an City, and the whole country was boiling.For a long time, especially in the past few years, Liyang has been in the midst of internal and external aggression. Outside, there is a powerful enemy Bei Mang stalking it. Inside, there are various vassal kings supporting themselves and disrespecting the emperor's order.

Before, they were still worried about Zhao Kai falling into the siege of the three rebels Xichu, Zhao Bing, and Zhao Xun, and everyone was in danger because of the invasion of more than 60 troops from Beimang to the south. The siege is tight, and there are foreign invasions outside.

Internal and external troubles, this kind of crisis can be said to be unprecedented, and there is no hope of seeing the sun. Many officials are already looking for a way out, ready to choose another master.

Their eyes were naturally on the Supreme Emperor Zhao Dun and the Fourth Prince Zhao Zhuan. After all, in a sense, they were orthodox.

It's a pity that these people had just delivered the information, and they were imprisoned the next day, and they were directly interrogated and beheaded on the third day. They were charged with embezzlement and perverting the law. Yuan Benxi personally took action, and these people couldn't stir up any troubles.

Although many people were killed, they couldn't hold back the panic.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, good news came one after another. First, the new emperor personally quelled the rebellion of the kings with the posture of a king. , 20 elites surrendered, and Xichu also surrendered two days later, just like making a match.The 30 army that Zhao Kai brought over not only did not decrease, but directly became more than [-], it was like a dream.

Afterwards, Li Yang put down the rebellion of all parties with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, the speed was so fast that they couldn't accept it.

Is this still the so-called unprecedented crisis?
The people in Tai'an City still remember that on the day when the emperor returned to the city, there were thousands of people emptying the streets, and almost all of them walked out of Tai'an City spontaneously. On the official road that stretched for twenty miles, there were dense crowds of people standing there to welcome their triumphant king!

In their eyes, Zhao Kai at this moment is the savior.

And the emperor had only returned to the city for less than two days, and the celebration was not over yet. The news that Beiliang defeated the barbarians and killed 35 enemies spread to Tai'an City again, and the mood that had not calmed down boiled again.

Now, not only the internal troubles are solved, but also the external troubles are easily swept away!

Before this, there were seven vassal kings in Liyang. After this round, the imperial court cut down all the vassal kings almost effortlessly, and there was no internal danger in Liyang.

For a time, the whole country was celebrating, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all smiling, but everyone with some family background was feasting everywhere, and all the wine in Tai'an City was sold out.Zhao Kai's prestige has also reached unprecedented heights, he has only been on the throne for one year, and he has already achieved things that the previous king could not do in his lifetime, it is not an exaggeration to call him a famous king through the ages.

This day is enough to go down in history!

Unlike the joyful Liyang people and civil and military ministers, Zhao Kai did not appear to be very happy. After all, such a victory was already in his expectation. In fact, as early as two years ago, Zhao Kai was talking with Chaoge and Li Yishan. In the deduction of Xu Xiao and the three of them, the situation that will happen in this battle has already been calculated.

The result of the matter was not bad at all as expected.

In fact, if Cao Changqing hadn't chosen to go to the northwest, Zhao Kai would have replaced him, and the outcome would not have changed.

The reason why Zhao Kai was unhappy was because of Han Diao Temple, because of Han Diao Temple and Beiliang, Zhao Kai had excluded him from the plan earlier.I didn't want him to be involved in anything in Beiliang, but I didn't expect Han Diaosi to rush to Beimang resolutely.

It can be said that at the moment when he decided to step into Beiliang, Han Diaosi had no intention of returning alive.

After the news of Beimang's great victory reached the capital, his cronies handed over the last letter written by Han Diaosi to Zhao Kai.In the letter, he also stated everything. In the beginning, he also decided to help Zhao Kai who had nothing in order to repay his mother's kindness.He did have his own selfishness, and while supporting Zhao Kai, he also wanted to seek greater benefits for himself, but gradually, he found that Zhao Kai seemed to be able to do better without his protection.

Originally, he wanted to repay his kindness, but now, he himself has become a burden. How can he, who is already proud, accept it?Therefore, he will resolutely rush to Beiliang.

Zhao Kai once had doubts about Xu Fengnian because he wanted to assassinate Xu Fengnian, but the result of the fact is that he, Han Diaosi, is really stupid.

Zhao Kai knew clearly that Han Diaosi didn't like Beiliang, and even hated it. The reason why he risked his life to go to Beiliang was to prevent Zhao Kai from being caught in a dilemma between Beiliang and himself. Bei Liang no longer had any further suspicions because of his own reasons.

Although Han Diao Si saved his life in the end, he had already lost all his martial arts, which made Zhao Kai feel extremely guilty. When he had nothing, the only person who helped him was Han Diao Temple.

Xu Fengnian wanted to kill him, Zhao Kai knew it very well, unlike Master Liu Hao, Zhao Kai always wanted him to retire in Tai'an City, so as to cut off Beiliang's thoughts, and when he died of old age, the grievances would be cleared.

Unexpectedly, Han Diaosi did not accept Zhao Kai's affection. According to the words in his last letter,
"Your mother owes me a kindness, and it is I who should repay the favor. How could I, Han Shengxuan, be willing to be a burden to His Majesty? Left and right are just one life, and I, Han Shengxuan, can afford it!

I haven't been able to be a complete human being in this life, leaving behind children, fortunately, God has mercy, to meet His Majesty, and to be called Uncle Han by His Majesty, this life is enough!
Xiaokai, Uncle Han is gone, take care! "

After seeing this letter, Zhao Kai couldn't bear it anymore, and after a brief explanation, he came out with his sword and rushed to Beiliang.
