Ball Ball Cultivation

After Wang Chenxi was reborn, he has always been high and mighty, as if he holds all the wisdom in his hands, hiding behind his family to give orders. He has never seen such a head-on fight, and when the blood splashed on his face, he was so scared that he couldn't move!

It was Gu Hong who was by her side who helped her block the sharp blade in the critical moment. After discovering that she was frightened and unconscious, he carried her back to the Wang family's secret room.

Of course, the breakup between Gu Hong and Wang Chenxi was

After the old emperor died, the imperial city was occupied by the Tatars, and the two men had disagreements.

Gu Hong demanded that Gu Zhao be released and asked him to ask General Han Shu for help. Wang Chenxi did not want Han Xue to take a high position again and would rather die than obey.

Gu Zhao led 50,000 Han family troops to drive out the Tartars and rescue the king. The Han family army faced their old rival Tatar, and the two sides were evenly matched.

With Gu Zhao in command, consolidating the power of the local army and coordinating the battle, the subsequent war went relatively smoothly. After all, the son of destiny was fighting in person.

Su Ying, the deputy chief eunuch of the imperial palace, led a hundred martial arts masters selected from the Han family army through the secret passage of the palace, changed into Tatar costumes, and secretly entered the palace.

Su Ying took advantage of the terrain and dispersed the spies in various key locations in the palace.

The Tatar army entered the imperial palace, taking the emperor as a hostage, and the palace was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The secret of the emperor's death is known only to Han Hong and the Wang family who know the secret passage, apart from the cheat Qiuqiu.

The remaining Tatar troops repelled three more waves of attacks. These Central Plains people were as weak as chickens, and each Tatar warrior could fight ten of them at once.

The Han family army, our mortal enemy, was burned to death by the Dayong family and the royal family. I heard that there are still 50,000 old, weak and sick people left under Han Shu, so they are not to be feared.

With one victory after another, as long as they pulled the old emperor out to threaten the idiots outside, they would be sent an endless supply of fine wine and food. They would stay in the palace for more than a month, enjoying all the beauties in the palace as they pleased, and the Tatar soldiers gradually became intoxicated by the gentleness.

Gu Zhao had very complicated feelings towards the old emperor. He had been doted on for more than ten years, but was finally abandoned because of an unfounded witchcraft scandal!

Even if the emperor's favor towards me is only superficial, I have been acting for more than ten years. Is there no real emotion at all?

In the end, because of the "conclusive evidence", the mother and son had no way to defend themselves. In order to save Gu Zhao, the queen committed suicide in the palace.

Originally he hated it, but if the old general Han Shu had not knelt and begged for half a day, and the war broke out again on the border, and Han Shu used his military merits to exchange for Gu Zhao's life, it would have been a luxury for him to guard the imperial mausoleum in peace.

But now the old emperor is dead, killed by the Tatars and also killed by his own suspicion.

Since the witchcraft incident, the emperor has become more suspicious. The Han family, who are loyal to the old emperor, did not hesitate to threaten the emperor with the safety of the border in order to protect Gu Zhao. From then on, the emperor became even more distrustful of military officers.

Even officials in the court who expressed opinions slightly different from those of the emperor would be reprimanded or demoted.

He looked upon everyone close to him as a traitor, and as a result, before the old emperor's death, there was no one else around him except the chief eunuch Su Sheng.

However, the aristocratic families and the royal family each had their own ideas, and both wanted to consume the other's military strength. Information was not exchanged, and the rescue army did not know that the emperor was dead, so they were hesitant to attack the palace.

Gu Zhao led the Han family army to gather forces from all sides and first announced the death of the old emperor.

On the surface, he arranged for the troops to take turns attacking the palace, while secretly sending experts to sneak into the palace.

In the middle of the night, hundreds of Han family army soldiers who sneaked into the palace divided the work and cooperated with each other to quietly kill the Tatar squad guarding the gate and silently opened the palace gate.

Han Chou had his own method. When he stole the treasury of the aristocratic family, he also collected the aphrodisiacs, laxatives, and poisons hidden by the aristocratic family, and threw them all into the Tatar soldiers, with a very good effect.

As for the high-ranking Tatar generals, Han Chou could not get close to them at all. They lived on the grasslands, surrounded by wolves, and were very sensitive, which was beyond Han Chou's reach.

Gu Zhaogang immediately launched a decisive battle after he had assembled his army because: Han Chou heard the Tatar general and military advisor discussing that their royal tribe would be able to quickly integrate the Tatar royal court, send a large army, and completely occupy Dayong.

Without the Han family army, Dayong is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. Each grassland warrior can only fight ten people at a time. If the enemy attacks from both inside and outside, Dayong will be in danger of extinction.

The palace gates were wide open, and the fighting was face to face. The Dayong side had several times more troops than the other side, and in just midnight, the entire palace was stained with blood.

At the beginning, the royal family and the aristocratic families wanted to take credit for the victory, and suffered heavy casualties. Three or five Dayong people could not kill a Tatar soldier together.

After the rash and impulsive soldiers were killed, there were about 25,000 Tatar soldiers left.

The Han army of 50,000 elite soldiers faced the Tatar army of 25,000. Because the palace was small, most of the soldiers could only fight in the streets. The soldiers of both sides fought one-on-one, and the battle was very brutal.

Even with Han Chou poisoning the Tatar soldiers behind the scenes, they were still able to maintain 70% of their combat effectiveness.

The war finally ended at noon the next day. It lasted for five hours. The Han army suffered no more than 10,000 casualties, while more than 20,000 Tatars were all killed.

In the past, among the Han army's more than 10,000 wounded soldiers, only 10% or 20% of them survived, which was considered lucky! However, this time, with Han Xue's popularization of suturing and penicillin, and fighting in the imperial palace, logistics could be guaranteed. As long as they made it out of the battlefield alive, they would be properly arranged.

After the war ended and the follow-up matters were arranged, Han Chou and Gu Zhao had a late-night conversation.

From the future direction of the imperial court, the imperial examination system, the weakening of aristocratic families, centralization of power, the civil and military selection system, the economic lifeline, road construction, transportation, foreign wars, to the universal military service system.

The two chatted all night about a map of the country in their hands.

Han Chou made a plan for the future for Gu Zhao and asked him to return to Han Xue as soon as possible.

Han Xue developed papermaking and printing techniques at a very low cost and has been promoted in designated areas.

Han Yuan not only promotes books, but also engages in pig farming and fruit and vegetable grafting.

The implementation of the imperial examination system and the promotion of teaching materials were handed over to Gu Zhao. Selecting talents for the court was the royal family's business, and the Han family could not intervene.

Watching Han Xue complete her planned products one by one, Han Chou asked Qiuqiu in his heart, "Is Han Xue, who is only sixteen years old, so amazing? This knowledge involves graduate courses. How does she know all this?"

Qiuqiu: "Her knowledge reserve is already at the graduate level, and in many fields."

"Didn't you seal her memory before KuKu was born?"

If a sixteen-year-old sister is so strong, then isn't he that bad as he just graduated with a master's degree at the age of twenty-five?

Qiuqiu was too lazy to pay attention: "I just sealed her memory of getting pregnant and giving birth, and the rumors and gossip she suffered. I didn't touch the knowledge she learned during college."

Han Chou flattered Qiuqiu: Our ancestors are so awesome.

When Han Chou came back, Han Xue completed all the tasks required by the plan by herself, and he didn't know what to do next.
