Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight save the people from fire and water

The imperial city has been captured, a palace building was set on fire, and thick smoke rolled. Other cities in Jinyang either surrendered or were captured. The defenders were attacked from the city, so it was difficult to make any effective resistance. The wide ramps of several carriages running side by side in the city walls could not be prevented.

The aftermath of the battle around the city is still happening, but for Guo Shaozhong's army, the war has ended!

Guo Shao walked down from the city tower in Nancheng. When he passed by the ramp of the city wall, his face was a little heavy, but he didn't say anything, but was silent. The ground was full of corpses, and there was almost no place to step on the corpses, so he could only walk on the corpses. The boots were soaked with blood, and the toes in the socks were very slippery; most of the blood on the corpses had solidified, but there was still a lot of blood, probably the tissue fluid flowing out of the human body.

He has participated in too many battles, and he is actually not very big about this scene, and he is a little numb... but he is still uncomfortable. Because he is not a human being, he has sympathy for people and many of the most intuitive emotions.

When he walked down the city, there were still many post-war matters being reported and arranged. When the generals and ministers around him saw that Guo Shao ignored him, they arranged everything for him.

Guo Shao's previous nervous, efficient and sharp performance was gone, and his firm and decisive words disappeared. At this time, his movements were less decisive and powerful, and he became both silent and slow.

Even he himself was very strange. He thought that he would be surprised and excited after conquering Jinyang, but when this moment came, he felt relieved. Perhaps the self-inflated excitement would come slowly, but not concentrated at a certain moment; the fruits brought by victory were not intuitive, nor were they effective immediately, but were far-reaching.

Lu Chengyong led the horse over, and after he got down the city, he turned over the horse and took his elite soldiers along the main road in the north and south towards the imperial city. Soon, Wang Pu, who was from the front camp military mansion outside the city, also came into the city.

Guo Shao rode a horse and looked at the imperial city in the Northern Han Kingdom for a while. This was the first time he saw the power center building complex of "Dragon City" with his own eyes. The inside and outside of the imperial city had been controlled by the Zhou army, and he was whistled by five steps on the road to the city. Guo Shao rode his horse and sword and entered the imperial city straight.

Outside the main hall gate of the Northern Han Dynasty Imperial Palace, Guo Shao waited for a while, and Wang Pu, Zuo You and others rushed up.

The soldiers of Zhou army around him found that the emperor riding on the tall black horse was shouting and cheering, but Guo Shao ignored it. He calmed down from his nervous and passionate mood, and considered the concept of dealing with the monarch and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty... After ascending the throne, Guo Shao never fought in person; he achieved great victory after victory, and understood that it was not just to arouse the soldiers' emotions, but precisely because he took the correct path in most practices, and was adjusting the concept of all levels of the army like a captain at the helm.

Wang Pu and others got off the horse and bowed to worship. Wang Pu's old face was very excited and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you will capture the capital of the Northern Han Kingdom for half a month! Your Majesty's power is looked up to by the world."

"No gift." Guo Shao turned over from his horse and threw the reins to Lu Chengyong who was leading the horse in front.

Guo Shao thought deeply and believed that he could not scold the Northern Han lord like before the war... At least he should give respect to the Lord, because he himself was a ruler and could not belittle the position of the Lord too much; he gave the impression that the ruler would be nothing once he lost was to make his position unhappy.

He calmly said to Wang Pu: "The Lord of Northern Han was deceived by some treacherous ministers in his court. Those treacherous ministers led the Liao army to slaughter their tribe for their own glory and wealth, causing the Lord of Northern Han to fall into injustice, causing the people of Hedong and the people of Dazhou to suffer deeply, and they must be punished severely! But the people of Hedong are always looking forward to the arrival of the royal army and save the people from water and fire."

After hearing this, Wang Pu's face froze and thought for a while, he said, "Your Majesty is wise and can see through the accumulated problems of the Northern Han Kingdom at a glance! The officials of the former camp military office will verify the evidence and let the families of those treacherous ministers be convicted of the rightful conviction to comfort the world."

Guo Shao was very satisfied with Wang Pu's knowledge, and immediately stepped up the steps with his sword. The surrounding military generals and civil servants surrounded him and a large group of people walked up to the palace of the Northern Han Kingdom.

When they arrived in the palace gate, they saw a young man in a yellow dragon robe and two rows of civil servants and generals kneeling in the hall. People saw a group of people coming in and looked up at Guo Shao and others. No one knew who the emperor was. Guo Shao was wearing military uniforms and armor, and looked like a completely military general.

But suddenly someone shouted: "Sinners and others bow to the Emperor of Great Zhou."

I don’t know how I recognized Guo Shao… I might have seen the fact that I saw the officials wearing purple official robe surrounded by a man in armor.

Guo Shao strode forward and walked straight to the person wearing the dragon robe. It should be Liu Jun, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu Jun held up the jade seal with both hands and held it high above his head. There was a scene saying that could not be said. Guo Shao noticed that his hands were trembling and he was a little disappointed... The Northern Han army was still very combat-capable, but the family background left by Emperor Gaozu of the Northern Han Dynasty; the Northern Han Dynasty lord was obviously not as good as Liu Chong, who was looking for an opportunity to attack the Central Plains at any time back then.

Guo Shao didn't say a word, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the jade seal without hesitation. He looked back at his left and right, and the monarch and ministers in the hall hurriedly lowered their bodies.

At this moment, the long-term accusation of the Guo family of the Great Zhou Dynasty of usurping the Liu family's country and thinking that the irreconcilable grudge was "resolved" at once.

Guo Shao turned around and left the main hall with little interest and walked out. He stepped back on the steps, turned to look at Wang Pu and Zuo You, and said in a deep voice: "Find a cup of poisonous wine and send it to Liu Jun to save trouble."

Wang Pu did not say anything, but did not object.

Zuo You clasped his fist and said, "Your Majesty, if you go to make arrangements for this matter, you declare that the Northern Han master died of anger and died of sudden illness."

Guo Shao nodded, twisted his upper body, looked up at the double eaves of the main hall of Northern Han Kingdom, and turned around and walked downward.

Guo Shao felt that there was nothing wrong with not convicting the Lord of Northern Han and letting him die in a decent manner. The hatred of the Liu family killing Guo Wei's whole family and the Guo family seized the Liu family's country was Guo Shao's feelings at all, and it was not up to him... However, in Guo Shao's mind, the culprit of this war was the Lord of Northern Han. Although Guo Shao was unwilling to convict him, it was difficult to accept that he had died so many people. Moreover, the Northern Han country was forcibly destroyed by the war, and the Great Zhou had the power to execute his country unconditionally, and it was understandable to kill the Lord of the country.

The world where the strong prey on the weak is, and that's all, those who fail die.

Guo Shao didn't want to bother with other military orders. The former camp military office was mainly composed of civil servants of the Privy Council, and there was a complete set of civil servants. They would submit suggestions as appropriate to the aftermath, reward and punishment, and how to safeguard the people.
