Chapter 1 The Emblem of the Empire

A hundred battles make an empire!

All nations come to the court for the empire!

The boundless country is for the empire!

Only when there are legalists and invincible generals outside can we become the empire!

Yun Zheng's army finally came out of Tongtou Pass, and the power along the way was unstoppable. Zhao Jian's cavalry ran for 300 miles in one day without any resistance. △↗,

Huaizhou, Ruzhou, and Khanzhou went down without fighting. It took only three days after leaving the pass. Yun Zheng's forward had approached Juyong Pass.

Juyong Pass was named after the Qin Dynasty. According to legend, when Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, he moved prisoners, soldiers and forced civilians here to "move to the Yongshu".

It was called Juyongguan in the Han Dynasty, and it was named Xiguan in the Three Kingdoms period. It was changed to Naqiguan in the Northern Qi Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there were names such as Juyongguan, Jimenguan, and Junduguan.

The situation in Juyongguan is dangerous and has been a must-fight for military strategists since ancient times.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yan State had to control this. During the Han Dynasty, Juyongguan City had already become quite large. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the construction of the Guancheng City was connected to the Great Wall. From then on, Juyongguan was the most powerful pass in the west of Nanjing, Liao Kingdom.

Once Yun Zheng breaks through Juyong Pass, the soldiers will directly arrive at the city of Yanzhou.

The Liao Kingdom was shocked, but the Liao Emperor was not shocked. This was originally expected. While sending a confidant Guinu to defend Juyongguan, he also divided his troops to Shunzhou and Tanzhou to defend his retreat route. At this point, the retreat of Liao Kingdom was inevitable.

Upon hearing Yun Zheng's departure, Yelu Yixin fled back to Zhongjing overnight, with his back against the broken Great Wall, rebuilt a line of defense in Chicheng and Longmen area, and vowed to live and die with the Great Wall.

"A long time ago, we defended the Great Wall and tried our best to ensure that our country is not lost. Now it's Yelu Yixin's turn, and I suddenly feel a little funny!"

Su Xun smiled and said, "This is the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same."

Kong Yuanda broke a pine branch and boredly pulled the pine needles on it without saying a word.

Yun Zheng came to Kong Yuanda and dragged him up, pointed to the gate in front of him and smiled, "Why do you need to worry? Look at the mountains in front of you, with clear streams lingering, green peaks overlapping, flowers and trees, and birds singing. Can't the beautiful scenery be worthy of your smile?"

Kong Yuanda used pine branches to beat the robe twice, dusted off the dust on it, and said expressionlessly: "The terrain of Juyongguan is dangerous. There are mountains on both sides, a waterway in the middle, running through Guancheng in the north and south. At the intersection of the Great Wall and the river, a double-hole circular arch water gate is built. There is a gate tower on the water gate, and a water gate is installed inside to control the water volume inside and outside the door, and the gate opening is opened in the flood season. In the dry season, river water is reserved for Guancheng. The water gate piers are pointed north and south, so as to reduce the force of flood water on the water gate, and play a role in preventing damage and extending the use time.

If the general wants to attack the city, don’t destroy the waterway. The waterway here was spent by the Liao Kingdom on 50,000 people. It took three years to complete. Don’t destroy it if it can be destroyed.

In the future, our Song Dynasty defenders will still have to do it."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "This is impossible. If the army needs to destroy the waterway to attack Juyongguan, it must be destroyed.

The army has always been a destroyer, not a builder.”

Kong Yuanda nodded sadly and said, "Just like you did in Zhuolu County? The old saying goes, "It's better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled person." Kong Yuanda truly understands what a war is a dangerous battle."

Su Xun continued: "Zi Zheng's words are wrong. It is not the general who created the chaos in Zhuolu. The general entered Zhuolu County without any crime. The people who committed the murder were all locals in Zhuolu County. The princes and the others were cleaning up the mess in Zhuolu County. Now the county seat has stabilized. What is the anger between Zizheng?"

Kong Yuanda smiled and said with a smirk: "What a good person to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land. The general has reached the point of not sticking to all things. He has driven the people of Liao to open and lock the general's switch and break the three state cities in three days. Kong Yuandaupe is extremely impressed."

Yun Zheng laughed and said, "A family went to Yanshenggong in person to ask for Yanshenggong. A family and Yanshenggong decided on the "Yanyun Ce" under the testimony of your ancestors and ancestors of the Confucius family. Yanshenggong burst into tears and vowed to take back Yanyun land, so that I, the Jinbao of the Song Dynasty, have no flaws. Now we are fulfilling our former vows, why should I follow the example of my children and pretend to be hypocritical?

There are too many people who die at the moment, but not many of them are dead now than the endless quelling of chaos in the future.”

Kong Yuanda angrily threw the branch into the distance and shouted loudly: "For me, it's too much to die an innocent person."

Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Chengguan in the distance and smiled, "There are no innocent people!"

Kong Yuanda looked at Yun Zheng with a disgust and said tremblingly: "How come there are no innocent people? Those women who were raped and killed, those young children who were killed, and those who were cut off with white hair and gray heads, are they all unforgivable people in the eyes of your general?"

"They used to enjoy the money and ointment of the people, but now it is just the time to pay back the debt. If we talk about sins, a family can find any crime that will lead to their death.

The Gou family in Xiangyangpo guards the huge family business. There are no evil servants and no dogs in the family. However, his family is still safe and sound. The old lady of the Gou family moved a chair and sat at the gate of the fortress. Although the chaotic people were in a turbulent relationship, none of them dared to cross the Gou family to go to the fortress to rob.

The old lady of the Gou family once said that every little money in the family was earned by himself with his hands, and there was no blood in it. As long as the people present could point out anything wrong with the Gou family, he would rather burn the fortress himself without burying others' hands.

There were so many people present at that time, and in the end, they had to leave in disappointment. There were still many wealthy families who were not exterminated in Yanyun Land.

Why did Zizheng only see the good side of those rich families, and never see their hatred side, just talk about the Chunyu family who is close to you. Do you know how many corpses were found in the back garden of his house? Seventeen, but this is just a hasty search and not a deeper study. Did you know the three urns placed in his cellar?

Even if those three women are not chaste, what kind of family is tormenting people like this? What's more, the head of his family is illiterate.

Fortunately, this person has left long ago. If I were caught, I would definitely cut off his head with a sword to repay the evil he had committed in the past."

Seeing Kong Yuanda's face turning red and red, Su Xun was afraid of hurting his heart and lungs, he hurriedly said, "Zi Zheng, you are a gentleman, how can you see so many tricks? You have been overworked to help the army to appease the people these days. Come on, let me leave the civil affairs behind for the time being, talk about two games, drink some wine and relax quickly. I have the pear blossom white that my evil son brought to me from the capital."

When Yun Zheng saw Kong Yuanda being dragged away by Su Xun, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Now Li Chang has begun to hold a complaint meeting. With the words of the crowd, where can those rich families get their own way?

Kong Yuanda walked for a while, suddenly broke away from Su Shi's hand and came to Yun Zheng and said seriously: "A leaf falls to see autumn. The wealthy families in Yanyun land are all places where dirt is hidden, but I don't know if there are any corpses in the backyard of the wealthy families in the Song Dynasty?"

Yun Zheng thought hard for a while and said seriously: "No, at least there are not even a dead cat or dog in the back garden of my Yun family."

When Yun Zheng said this, he couldn't help but think of that stormy night. With just a flash, he could see the hideous face of the cobbler, and he couldn't help but tremble. He continued to say seriously to Kong Yuanda: "We must have confidence in the people of the Song Dynasty."

Kong Yuanda became much more peaceful, and bowed and smiled: "The General said this, Kong Yuanda felt much more comfortable."

When Kong Yuanda walked away, the monkey and Hanniu looked at Yun Zheng with some contempt. They knew clearly what happened that night. The corpses buried in the back garden of the house were not one or two, but many of them were buried under the peony trees. These flowers were made of meat-eating flowers. If they buried some dead bodies, the flowers would bloom in the next year as big as sea bowls.

Yun Zheng glanced at the two idiots and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you like peony?"

Monkeys and silly cows shook their heads together. The most deserted place in the Yun family is the flowerbed where peonies are planted. No matter how beautiful the peonies are, no one in the family likes to watch them. Except for the cobbler occasionally picking one or two flowers and giving them to his stupid son to sell them to exercise their ability to live, even the maid who likes peonies the most dare not look at the flowerbed directly.
