At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 282 Gathering People’s Hearts
After circling the 100,000 cavalry, he said with a gloomy expression, "Everyone raise your heads and look at me."

"Brush brush"

Everyone raised their heads.

"do you know me?"

he shouted.

"know."

One hundred thousand soldiers replied.

"The one standing in front of you now is not only the Marquis of Xiliang, but also the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army."

Xiao Han tore off his armor, revealing the numerous wounds on his body, and said in a deep voice: "I joined the army at the age of thirteen, and left Jizhou at the age of twenty-five and entered Xiliang. I have fought for Jizhou for more than ten years, and have fought countless battles, big and small. The wounds on my body are all left by the battles back then."

"Back then, there was a banner with the character Xie on it, and I had a banner with the character Xiao on it."

"Some of you may have fought on the battlefield with me."

"If you say yes, then step out."

Thousands of veteran soldiers walked out and knelt on one knee: "We were lucky enough to follow the general into battle."

These thousands of veteran soldiers all had burning eyes and excited expressions.

"I am in charge of Jizhou, and you are not the ones who can accept me?"

He closed his armor and looked at the surrendered soldiers. "I have fought for Jizhou for twelve years. If anyone thinks he is better than me in military achievements, please stand up and I will withdraw from Jizhou immediately."

"Convinced."

The old soldiers of Jizhou roared one by one.

"Just accept it."

Xiao Han nodded slightly: "What this general wants is not your obedience, but your submission from the heart."

"Jizhou and Xiliang are one. You were all my comrades in arms. You are my brothers in life and death. Once you join my army, you will still be my brothers in arms."

"On the battlefield, I can trust you with my back and I can also block swords for you."

"Beyond the battlefield, this general will not favor one over the other. You are not surrendered soldiers, but meritorious officials of Jizhou, meritorious officials of Xiliang, and even meritorious officials of the world."

Xiao Han stuck the saber in his hand into the ground and faced the 100,000 cavalrymen.

"One day, if you feel that I am sorry for calling you, my old soldier, sorry for my life and death comrades."

He paused, opened his arms, and exposed his chest. "You can use the swords in your hands to cut me."

"General."

Countless soldiers had tears in their eyes and their hearts were filled with excitement.

Only a man like this is worthy of the loyalty of the Jizhou Iron Cavalry and the tough warriors of the three states of Jizhou.

What a crap prince, a waste who only knows how to eat, drink, play and enjoy courtesans, is he worthy of your loyalty?
"I am willing to fight to the death for the general."

One of them called the old soldier to stand up, drew the dry knife from his waist, cut his palm, blood dripped, clenched his fist, and swore to the sky, "I am willing to fight for the general. If I disobey you in this life, I will be struck by lightning."

"We are willing to fight to the death for the general."

Thousands of veteran soldiers followed suit.

"We are willing to fight to the death for the general."

All 100,000 cavalrymen dismounted, and their inspiring roars echoed over Jizhou City for a long time.

This is the heart of the people.

This is prestige.

In the Hou Mansion.

Hearing this deafening roar, a trace of bitterness appeared on Xie Xuanli's face.

"The Crown Prince is stupid and has colluded with Zhu Jian to form a alliance with the Northern Wei, bringing shame to our Jizhou Iron Cavalry."

Xiao Han raised his saber above his head and shouted, "Brothers, today is the day to wash away this shame."

"If you have the guts, follow me to the north to attack Wei and drive those barbarians out of our Jiliang territory."

"Yes." "Kill all the barbarians."

It was Xie Xuanli's plan to join forces with the Northern Wei, but now Xiao Han has put the blame on that prince.

One hundred thousand cavalrymen were full of fighting spirit and murderous intent.

"Come with me."

He pulled the reins, and the dark brown horse under his crotch leaped out. Holding a saber, he rushed out of Jizhou City, followed by a mighty force of 100,000 cavalrymen.

The earth trembles, the autumn colors ripple, and a torrent of black armor rushes across the withered and yellow fields.

Jizhou and Northern Wei had been fighting for decades. Although Xie Xuanli was the Marquis of Zhenbei, his DNA could not suppress the resentment.

Many people in Jizhou were extremely resistant to the move of joining forces with the Northern Wei Dynasty. After today, they turned their hatred towards the prince.

"My Lord, let's go too."

Tiger Chi entered the courtyard carrying a carriage.

"it is good."

Xie Xuanli nodded slightly, put on his coat, got on the carriage, and under the escort of thousands of cavalry, he slowly left Jizhou City and headed for Xiliang City.

With the escort of thousands of elite cavalry, no one below the immortal realm on earth can take Xie Xuanli away.

Besides, this is only what happens on the surface. There are also experts from the Secret Service and Luowang working behind the scenes.

Although Xie Xuanli had eliminated many of Xiao Han's secret agents who had been left in Jizhou over the years, secretly, the Secret Service and Luowang had already infiltrated Jizhou.

When we went to the five counties of Youzhou, this hidden power played a huge role.

Now that the three states have completely fallen into his hands, the strength of the Secret Service and Luowang has expanded instantly.

Many hidden players surfaced to help Xiliang Tiqi quickly take over Jizhou and Yongzhou.

So the call to stop only looks chaotic on the surface, but in fact, the transfer of power has been completed.

Hu Chi took Xie Xuanli westward, and the 40,000 cavalry under Huluxu were stationed in Jizhou City, while the 30,000 troops from Daijun and Anyang were scattered across the counties.

A few days later, Liao Huan led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into Jizhou, holding the seal of Marquis Zhenbei, and began to integrate the remaining troops.

"Rumble"

"Rumble"

The heavy snow covered the sky and the ground, forming a vast expanse of white. The cold wind was howling and the snow was pouring down, with no end in sight.

The first heavy snow of this year arrived as expected, and thousands of miles of land and water in Jizhou, Northern Wei and Xiliang were engulfed in wind and snow.

The gate of Jubei City opened, and a large number of cavalry rushed out, led by none other than Xiliang Hou Xiao Han.

After resting in Jubei City for a day and a night, a hundred thousand cavalrymen attacked Shuoyin directly.

He encountered harassment from small groups of Northern Wei cavalry along the way, but he ignored them and marched 800 miles in two days and nights.

But Helian Bobo did not withdraw his troops. He assembled an army of 250,000 in Shuoyin and still had the advantage in terms of military strength.

However, this advantage was only temporary. The Western Liang army in Youzhou and Jiaozhu was gathering rapidly. The most important thing was that the imperial troops in the two Liao territories began to retreat quickly after receiving the news of the fall of Jizhou.

As a result, the pressure on the Shangdang defenders was greatly reduced.

This Northern Wei military god still refused to give up, and it could even be said that he made a final hysterical struggle, but it was of no use.

But when Xiao Han led 100,000 cavalry and appeared in Shuoyin eighty miles away, Helian Bobo had to withdraw his troops.

The army retreated in the direction of Xihezhou and joined the Northern Wei army led by the relatives, while covering the retreat of the Shangdang army.

In mid-November, the three armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty gathered and stationed in Guiyuan City.

This is the end.

This meant the end of the two-year war between Jizhou, Xiliang and Northern Wei, and the final outcome was that Xiliang annexed Jizhou.

With the strength of one state and eight counties, Xiao Han swallowed up the entire Jizhou and Yongzhou. In addition to the two newly added states, the number of cavalry under his command increased by more than 200,000.

Adding to the original 200,000-plus elite cavalry, the entire Xiliang Province had a total of 400,000 to 500,000 armored soldiers.

And they are the elite who are entering.
