Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 253 Li Song Xingxue
Zhang Yan on the top of the city saw Su Dingfang marching all the way outside the city, so naturally he would not miss this good opportunity to attack. Even if he couldn't do anything to the Karasuma cavalry, could he still not deal with Yuan Shang outside the city?

"Command! Attack from the city!" Zhang Yan said to the messenger behind him. The messenger clasped his fists in response, turned around and came down to the top of the city to convey Zhang Yan's order.

"Kill!" Yuan Shang, who was watching the battle between Su Dingfang and Karasuma, suddenly heard the sound of killing coming from the city gate. Looking back, he saw the gate of Beixin City was wide open. Zhang Yan and others led the army to kill. Kill him directly.

"Get ready to meet the enemy!" Yuan Shang yelled loudly. He knew that if he ran immediately, it would cause chaos in the army.

Obtaining Yuan Shang's order, one shield after another was erected in front of the formation. The spearman placed his spear obliquely on the shield, and there was a clanging sound when it collided with the shield. The archer behind the spearman had already lowered his bow. Pulled into a full moon, you can shoot arrows at the running enemy with just one order.

"Let go!" With a command!The archer let go of the bowstring in his hand, and the trembling bowstring threw the arrow high into the sky, drawing arcs, and pouring down like a torrential rain.

When the rain of arrows flew high into the sky, the running soldiers raised their shields above their heads to defend, and their steps did not stop at all. The rain of arrows fell and hit the shields, and they were blocked and could not advance an inch. Through the gap between the shields, you can always shoot some people.

Soon they rushed to the front of the enemy army, and the spearman leaned on the back of the shield and stretched out his spear to stab the charging enemy. The two armies collided and started a fierce fight.

There is no mercy on the battlefield, there is only life and death, if you can't kill the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy, the people in front of you fall, your comrades will make up, until the enemy is defeated or we Party is eliminated.

On the other side of the battlefield, Su Dingfang finally broke through barriers and got in front of Karasuma Shanyu. Su Dingfang pointed his gun at Karasuma Shanyu Nengchen who was closest to him, and Nengchen greeted him waving a mace.

The two fought for three rounds. Su Dingfang pierced Nengchen Shanyu's throat with a gun and assassinated him on the horse. As Su Dingfang drew his gun, steaming blood spurted out from the wound on Nengchen Shanyu's throat. The body wobbled and fell from the horse to the ground.

Su Dingfang turned around and went to Tadun Shanyu to kill him. Tadun and Lou Ban were so frightened that they ran for their lives in a hurry, while the guards rushed towards Su Dingfang without any regard for their own safety. Under the desperate blocking of the guards, the two escaped, still in shock. The two ran wildly all the way, not daring to look back.

When the Karasuma cavalry saw that Shan Yu had fled for their lives, they either ran for their lives immediately or surrendered directly. Those who dared to resist in a corner were beheaded by the cavalry who rushed up.

"Charge!" Su Dingfang immediately assembled his cavalry, and charged towards Yuan Shang's army, who were fighting to the death on the other side.

The hooves of the galloping horses roared like thunder on the ground, making the ground tremble. The fast-charging cavalry pierced through Yuan Shangjun's weak flank, tearing open a hole in an instant.

Looking at the army formation being praised by the cavalry, Yuan Shang knew that the situation was over!If he hadn't run away, he might have confessed here.

"Alas!" Yuan Shang sighed, and without hesitation abandoned the soldiers who were fighting for him, and fled away from the army with his personal guards, generals and others.

After realizing that Yuan Shang had abandoned them and ran away alone, Yuan Shang's army had no intention of fighting again, and they put down their weapons and surrendered.

At this point, the overall situation has been decided!

"In March of the eighth year of Jian'an, Su Dingfang, Zhang Yan and others led an army to defeat the coalition forces of Yuan Shang and Karasuma, beheading more than [-] Karasuma cavalrymen, beheading Karasuma Shanyu Nengchen, and capturing more than [-] Karasuma soldiers and horses. "

"Defeat Yuan Shang's army, behead [-] enemy heads, Yuan Shang's army surrendered, Yuan Shang and his generals escaped, our army then pursued and captured Yuyang and other counties one after another, Yuan Shang and Karasuma cavalry retreated to western Liaoning, our army won a big victory .”

In Xuchang City, in Tiance Mansion, Xu Chu read a letter of success that had just been received from Su Dingfang and Zhang Yan, and read it to Li Song who was sitting at the head seat.

"En! Very good! Did they mention any rewards?" Li Song smiled slightly after hearing this. Li Song was not surprised that Su Dingfang was able to defeat the Karasuma Army!You must know that Su Dingfang is a fierce man who beat the Turkic Khan's tooth tent with 200 people, so what's the point of a mere Karasuma.

"Report to the Prime Minister! There is no mention in this newsletter!" Xu Chu said to Li Song after turning over and over to find any difference.

"However, because Yuan Shang colluded with the Hu people, the people in Youzhou were burned, killed and plundered by the Hu people. The whole area of ​​Youzhou was devastated and there were many bones."

"Huh! Yuan Shang is really a sinner! Killing him will not make the people angry. I ordered Su Dingfang and others to capture Yuan Shang alive. I will try this sinner in front of the people of Youzhou. If he cannot be captured alive, I will take his head back. It's the same." Li Song said indignantly after hearing this.

Yuan Shang's lure of wolves into the house caused Karasuma to sweep and loot the places where the Han people gathered in Youzhou, and made the poor who had already suffered from the war to experience the persecution of Karasuma.

"No!" Xu Chu clasped his fists and saluted.

"How are the schools running in various places?" After calming down, Li Song asked Xu Chu about running schools in various places.

Years of wars have led to the loss of etiquette, and there are men and women who are thieves and prostitutes everywhere. They have no sense of shame, and this also makes more people uneducated. If they are well-born, they can rely on their family connections to find a good way out.

As for those with bad backgrounds, there is no way out, and they can do anything. Because of the lack of etiquette and moral restraint, people can do anything, especially the rich. This is not conducive to the selection of the court. Talented people will also lead to public security problems, which is not conducive to governance. Therefore, Li Songcai decided to set up schools in various places to educate them.

Make them know about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, know how to abide by the law, make them restrained, and have a sense of awe. In this way, the public security problems in various places can be solved, and the implementation of the imperial examination system can be much smoother in the future, which is more conducive to the selection of talents.

So Li Song set up Taixue, middle school, and elementary school in each state. The elementary school is the place where people receive enlightenment. After passing the county examination, they can enter the middle school. , the way for the state to test talents to become officials.

"Report to the Prime Minister! The establishment of schools in various places has been going smoothly. We have hired talented and talented people to teach everyone the way of etiquette and righteousness, and the initial results have been achieved." Xu Chu said.

"That's great!" Li Song said with satisfaction.
