Chapter 233: The Three Great Kings of the Frontier Campaign to the North, and the Four Great Demons Emerge

Snow world.

In a trance, three years passed in a flash.

After Xuanyuan Qingfeng accompanied Xu Chunlin on his travels for more than a year, the two separated again.

During these three years, there have been many changes in the world, which can be said to be very colorful.

First, there was Lu Dongbin who landed in Tai'an City and asked for the way. Then, there was Li Bai who drank hundreds of poems. Then, there were the two Zen temples where the Buddha's light descended. And then there was Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng who was so audacious that he sang the anti-Chinese lyrics and songs in public.

It became a popular rumor for a while.

But what is more eye-catching is that the three great kings of the Great Wall joined forces to attack Beimang and expand their territory.

First, Yue Fei, the King of Northern Song, and Han Xin, the King of Northern Han, launched a war without declaration and attacked Beimang together. With the cooperation of the twenty-eight Yuntai generals under Yue Fei and the thirty-six Tiangang generals under Han Xin, they expanded the territory to the north by thousands of miles.

Because of his concerns, King Xu Xiao of Beiliang chose to stay put without the imperial decree from Emperor Liyang.

Unexpectedly, this move made Beimang treat Xu Xiao as a soft persimmon. They sent out 200,000 troops, intending to use the three states of Beiliang as a breakthrough point and march south to attack Liyang.

Xu Xiao was so angry when he saw that they dared to stroke the tiger's whiskers that he immediately chose to teach them a lesson.

The three great kings of the frontier now have countless stores of food, fodder and weapons thanks to Tanlang Pavilion, the world's number one trading company, and they have nothing to worry about.

Just chase and attack fiercely. This kind of frontal battlefield depends on logistics. Countless food and fodder are shipped out from the warehouses, and the battle will be fought wherever the food and fodder support is available.

Beimang is a vast country with many cold and harsh lands. What limits their ability to exert power is not their military strength but their logistical support capabilities.

This battle was very difficult, but fortunately, the intelligence provided by Yinqi Ye Bushu allowed the three great kings of the Great Frontier to plan their strategies and win the battle thousands of miles away.

In addition, the three kings had countless brave generals under their command, and the dragon horse Huo Qubing personally led 3,000 brave soldiers to penetrate into the heart of Beimang, chasing the enemy to the north, making it unable to cope with the situation and unable to take care of both ends.

Yue Fei: With great ambition, I would eat the meat of the barbarians when I am hungry, and drink the blood of the northern barbarians when I am thirsty.

When Xu Chunlin was traveling, Yue Fei reported the results of the battle many times.

Xu Chunlin: Yes, yes, yes, that’s it. General Yue fought well in battle, and the lyrics are also very well written, and they are realistic. However, I don’t recommend eating it raw, as it is not very hygienic. In my opinion, it is better to make it into soap, and then sell it to Beimang later.

Take it from the people, use it for the people.

Anyway, those who are not of our race must have different hearts.

We must maximize the value and make the best use of it, and squeeze out two ounces of oil from each bone.

Not only you, but your entire Yue Army should be forced to use this mode. After killing the enemy, take the food on the spot and eat the enemy.

The meat can be air-dried and cured, the blood can be cooked for easy storage, the hair can be used to make blankets, and the fat must not be wasted. Cheng Yu can guarantee that it is a good thing, he is familiar with it, so let him do it.

Yue Fei was in tears: My Lord, I was just using a metaphor, you are being too extreme!

Until a certain day.

Ye Bushu presented Xu Chunlin's handwritten letter and brought a gift.

"The Lord thought you were attacking too slowly, so he summoned Qin Hui's spirit to restore his body with his hands, and sentenced him to be skinned, tendons pulled, bones broken, and cut into pieces to help you, General.

To spur General Yue, I have specially given you a genuine leather coat, made by Qin Hui and his wife Wang. It is like a dragon robe and fish costume. It is also accompanied by a handwritten note by Qin Hui's sister-in-law Li Qingzhao: "I still miss Xiang Yu, who refused to cross the Yangtze River. Xiang Yu did not advance and lost his head. This is a lesson for the future. We should pursue the enemy with our remaining courage instead of seeking fame by imitating the tyrant. General Yue, please read it carefully, so as not to make mistakes."

Yue Fei doubted his life: Am I too conservative?
Xu Chunlin was also quite helpless. Look at how well Han Xin did, and then look at Bai Qi, Chang Yuchun, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu whom he sent to his father's side.

Bai Qi was the commander-in-chief, Chang Yuchun was the vanguard, Jia Xu was the military advisor and chief priest, and Cheng Yu was the chief clerk in charge of food and supplies.

Bai Qi, the former Marquis of Wu'an, served as the main general of the Qin Dynasty for more than 30 years. He sieged more than 70 cities and killed more than 1.6 million enemies. He almost wiped out half of the troops of the other six countries by himself!

The Battle of Yique, the Battle of Yanying, the Battle of Huayang, the Battle of Changping, the attack was so powerful that it could move above the nine heavens; the defense was also impeccable!

Now Wu'an Jun leads the Beiliang Iron Cavalry. Under the command of this Blood Slaughterer, each man has a dozen human heads hanging on his waist, and they are chasing and chopping their opponents madly. After all, human heads are the means of promotion, so of course they have to carry them with them.

Chang Yuchun was a good general, except for one thing: this guy was addicted to killing the captives. Rumor has it that this was one of the reasons why he was unkind and had a short life.

As for Jia Xu, he only made a slight move and threw feces to pollute the water source of the Beimang grassland, saying that dirty things are most likely to cause disease. Imagine dozens of buckets of feces falling from the sky. Who can bear it?

In addition to this, Jia Xu also spread salt on the ground, destroyed the grass and soil, and threw corpses into the river, wanting to cause as much damage as possible.

Chang Yuchun was even more cruel. He would throw the bodies upstream of the river, or directly throw them into the city and surround them without killing the people, and then burn them all.

Chang Yuchun: Kill them all. Kill those who don’t surrender and those who surrender.

Bai Qi: It’s too much trouble. Let’s save our energy and bury them all!

Jia Xu: Let them dig their own holes and bury themselves. Use catapults to throw the dead to the other side to spread the plague.

Cheng Yu hurried over and said, "Don't bury it! That's military rations! I have a secret side dish!"

Bloody slaughter, killing god, poisonous warrior, human demon.

Uh, it seems a bit lacking in morality!

Anyway, even Xu Xiao felt a little scared when he saw this group of four people. He was trembling with fear!
Where did my son get these ruthless people from? I don’t deserve the title of “butcher”!
Xu Xiao wanted to say to Xu Chunlin now: "Son, this is my first time being a father. If I have offended you in the past, please forgive me."

Xu Chunlin was very satisfied with Bai Qi's progress along the way, but his words to Yue Fei were much harsher.

And pointed out some inappropriate things that Yue Fei's army did during the war:
Yue Fei's Northern Expedition was too slow, and he was asked to speed up the process. He was soft-hearted, saying that he did not kill prisoners of war and was too merciful in the war, which was absolutely unacceptable.

For those cities that have been captured, there is no river of blood. This is wrong.

Until one day Xu Chunlin suddenly felt guilty and his tone became much more easy-going. He felt that it was not good for him to always blame General Yue. After all, a general is not always subject to the orders of the king when he is away from the court, which he could understand.

So he continued in the letter: I know that you have difficulties in the Northern Expedition. In order to help you continue to advance, I have sent 30,000 Han Mo Lin cavalry to the north. They will get there as quickly as possible.

Under the influence of Xu Chunlin, many generals learned war economics without any guidance, and made continuous progress by fighting to support the war.

This battle caused great damage to the Northern Mang Dynasty, and it could even be said that its backbone was broken.

Finally, Beimang asked for peace with the Liyang Dynasty, and the Liyang Emperor issued twelve imperial edicts in succession urging the three great kings of the Great Frontier to withdraw their troops.

But the three great kings of the Great Wall showed no intention of giving up. Under such circumstances, Xu Chunlin's three-year term expired and he returned to Beiliang.
