Nineteen days later, the old general Xun Zilong, who had finished his defense change with the governor of Jiangzhou, also led a team to the garrison base camp.

According to the king's will, Jiang Guo officially changed its name to Jiangzhou.

The three armies gathered together and calculated the date of dispatch according to Ding Quan's front-line report.Everyone knows that this will be a decisive battle that shakes the world. Whether or not the sixteen tribes of Mohe can be defeated and the Rakshasa border can be deterred depends on the outcome.

In the 19th year of Yongxi, the day of the vernal equinox in February.

Dazhou's 19 soldiers and horses stepped on the melting ice and snow, rushed before the spring plowing, and pressed directly into the territory of Mohe at the end of the millet.Divide the troops into five groups and encircle the Sumo border camp.

"Khan Rongzuo, the emperor of the Great Zhou has an order. If you are willing to surrender today, you can be named the King of Bohai and enjoy the courtesy of my Great Zhou vassal king. If not, you will have to fight!" Gu Xiu stood up and sat on five On the back of Shijin's horse, the crimson cloak fluttered in the wind, and shouted loudly to Rong Zuo, the leader of the opposite enemy camp.

"You pigs, who killed my Heishui Qibian tribe, still want to talk about peace today?" The tall Rong Zuo pulled out the two scimitars from his waist, his eyes widened, and he roared sharply: "Today's battle ! Immortal!"

As the red sun rises, the sound of war drums on both sides is deafening, and Rong Zuo shouted in front of the battle: "Come on!!!!"

The barbarians rushed over like a pool of black water, and the archers in the front row bent their bows and set their arrows one after another. The feathered arrows shot at the barbarians coming on horseback like flying shuttles, and the barbarians fell one after another. Next, Gu Xiu also shouted: "Soldiers! Follow me to kill!"

The sound of killing and cutting was like a rumbling sound from the sky, and they continued to kill from the morning until the sun was setting to the west.

Under the fierce offensive of the huge mountainous crossbows in the Great Zhou Army, the Mohe barbarians who were difficult to parry gradually fell into the wind.

Several teams that broke through one after another never returned.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Rong Zuo immediately ordered behind him: "Come on! Let the beasts go!"

General Mohe, who took the order, immediately sent an order to the rear, and at once thousands of fierce tigers, giant wolves, bears and other ferocious beasts rushed into Da Zhou's team with red eyes and scarlet tongues to face the attacking ones. The soldiers were biting frantically.

Gu Xiu's crotch! The dismounting horse was also startled by a fierce tiger and raised its front hooves, almost knocking Gu Xiu off its back.Gu Xiu tightly reined in the horse's reins with one hand, long!The gun pierced directly into the tiger's stomach, and with a forceful movement of the arm, the tiger's intestines were ripped out.Before Fifty Gold stood still, another gray wolf rushed towards Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu clamped his legs around the horse's belly and leaned back. The scimitar swung over, fortunately, his reaction speed was exceptionally quick, the neck was slightly on one side, the scimitar only cut the flesh, and did not cut the throat.

When Gu Xiu shot and killed the barbarian soldiers who had killed him, suddenly a blaze of lights lit up around him.

Han Mochu had already asked the archers to ignite the remaining tung oil rockets in the chaos, and the fire fell on the giant beasts. The beasts were afraid of the fire and fled. Half of them rushed back to the Mohe army on the opposite side.

"Your Highness, didn't I say that you are not allowed to leave my line of sight?" Han Mochu rode to Gu Xiu's side, the blood on Gu Xiu's neck was already dripping, and he looked at him coldly, thinking that this man was going to die.

"I was wrong." Gu Xiu wiped the blood from his neck, with a sincere attitude like a child who admitted his mistake.

In a blink of an eye, the sky was completely dark, and torches were lit on both sides.While killing the enemy with a gun, Gu Xiu quickly filled his mouth with dry rations, swallowed the rations one gulp with the blood of the barbarians, then took off the water bag on the horse's back and poured two mouthfuls of clean water with his head up.Taking advantage of the absence of anyone around him, he threw the water bag to Han Mochu, who was also delivering dry food to his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them filled their stomachs silently on horseback, rushed to the front of the battle to fight against the barbarians again, and rushed all the way to the high ground where they could see the whole situation. Gu Xiu shouted loudly: "Master Wang Come out! If you win, don’t return! Kill!”

Under the high ground, the Su Mo barracks was on fire, and those Su Mo barbarians who had no way out became more and more crazy, rushing towards the high ground one after another.

As the guards around Gu Xiu and Han Mochu were killed, more and more barbarians came to them.Two days and one night of intense and intense fighting exhausted both of them physically.

Han Mochu gritted his teeth, and cut off the head of a barbarian soldier with his long sword: "Your Highness, do you still remember the teacher who taught you?"

"I remember." Gu Xiu replied panting.

"Well, His Highness will recite it to the minister."

At that moment, Han Mochu seemed to take Gu Xiu back to when he was a child, in the empty courtyard of Guiyun Palace, when Han Mochu took Gu Xiu to practice swords.

At that time, Han Mochu taught Gu Xiu to recite while practicing sword in the same way.

The same is true for the two of them now, killing the enemy while memorizing, the high-pitched sound of reading makes people forget their tiredness, their fear, and the fact that they are fighting with real swords and guns.Similarly, the sound of Gao Yang's reading can also make the two people feel at ease to face each other back to back, because even if they can't see each other, they can be sure that the other is still alive.

Just when the two were about to run out of strength, a low growl like a beast came from under the high ground.

"Your Highness!!!! The old bear is coming!!!"

Xiong Hu held his big ring knife and led a team of hundreds of people, roaring and charged towards the high ground where Gu Xiu and Han Mochu were besieged, blocking Gu Xiu and Han Mochu in the highest space on the ground.

Gu Xiu and Han Mochu temporarily breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and said in unison: "Kill the general first, and make a quick decision."

On the high ground, Han Mochu's gaze was like a torch, and he quickly locked Khan Rongzuo who was commanding the battle among the rebels.

Gu Xiu untied the longbow on his back, and bent three arrows at a time. After the fierce battle just now, Gu Xiu's arms were heavy, and he couldn't draw the bow to the full after several tries.

Han Mochu stood behind the person and silently held Gu Xiu's hands: "Your Highness, concentrate."

Gu Xiu and Han Mochu worked together to draw the longbow in their hands into a full moon, held their breath and focused on aiming the haircut at Rong Zuo's head until the best timing was found.

"put."

The two let go of their hands together.Swish, swish, three feathered arrows pierced through the cold wind and shot directly at King Khan Rongzuo. The two scimitars in King Khan Rongzuo's hands trembled, and the dead body crashed to the ground.

Gu Xiu turned around, looked at Han Mochu firmly, and raised the longbow in his hand: "Khan Rongzuo is dead! Those who don't surrender will be killed!"

The decisive battle, at the dawn of time, finally entered the mopping-up stage.

Gu Xiu and Han Mochu got off their horses, and sat side by side on the high ground, each holding half a sheet of dry food, while eating, they watched the soldiers coming down from the high ground to carry the dead bodies to clean the battlefield.

Ding Quan, who was in charge of guarding the flanks, had just received the news that the old general Xun Zilong, who was guarding the left and right flanks and the rear, also won a complete victory at dawn. He captured 320 generals of Mohe alive and captured [-] prisoners. A gratifying battle.

On the gloomy sky, snowflakes fluttered one after another, and fell on the scattered dead bodies on the ground. The white snow covered up the tragedy of the war.

"Master, I want to take them back." Gu Xiu looked at the soldiers of the Wang Shi who died in the battle under the high ground, and whispered to Han Mochu: "This place is too far from Bianjing."

"Well, it should be." Han Mochu smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Gu Xiu's shoulder: "Your Highness, please rest assured to me."

In this year-long battle, Wang Shi killed more than 780 people in total.

The first thing Han Mochu did when he returned to the rear camp was to sort out the list of the more than 2000 people in great detail. Those whose remains were still to be found had their bodies incinerated and their ashes put into the altar. Put a name tag on it to distinguish.If the bones cannot be found, then sort out the relics used during his lifetime, those who have relatives and friends in the army will be brought back by relatives and friends, and those who have no relatives and friends in the army will be brought back by Han Mochu and Gu Xiu.

In the 19th year of Yongxi, the third day of March.

On the day of Gu Xiu's 16th birthday, King Gu Hong once again dispatched his ministers to deliver an edict before the battle.

The seventh prince, Gu Xiu, was brave and good at fighting, and was unparalleled in heroism. He was specially named the king of the county before the battle, and the title was Zhan.The rank in the army will be upgraded by one level to be the second rank, and the official title will remain unchanged.

Han Mochu, a fourth-rank general who joined the army, repeatedly made extraordinary plans and made outstanding achievements.

Ding Quan, Xun Zilong, Gao Sheng and others all received awards.After the rewards, everyone was ordered to return to the court five days later.

In the many years since the Great Zhou opened the dynasty, there have been very few such rewards for being crowned kings before the battle. It can be seen that King Gu Hong is very satisfied with Gu Xiu's achievements in calming the chaos this time.

At the celebration banquet before Gu Xiu's battle, the beheaded generals above [-] ranks were allowed to drink a pot of alcohol, and Song Yu was among them.

Ever since he saw Gu Xiu being held in Han Mochu's arms that day, he desperately wanted to catch up with Han Mochu with his military skills.

Today, Gu Xiufeng is king, he is really happy from the bottom of his heart.So he held the rare and precious wine cup in the army, wanted to respect Gu Xiu for a drink, and had a few words with him, but he couldn't find Gu Xiu when he searched for it.

Twenty miles away from the base camp of the Tianlu Army, there is a hill with a beautiful scenery. Gu Xiu and Han Mochu rode a steed and quietly left the camp, and came to the place that is rarely visited by people.

"Your Highness, do you want to compete with the minister on who will reach the highest point first?" Han Mochu raised eyebrows to the young man beside him, pointing to the highest peak of the hills in the distance.

"Okay, if I win, Master will carry me back today." Gu Xiu clamped his horse's belly tightly, and his hips! The fifty gold under him flew out with a neighing sound, and the horse's hooves stepped on the solid snow and raised a puff of white smoke.

"Your Highness, do you just like sticking to the subject's back that much?" Han Mochu couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but chase after him: "Your Highness, don't you want something else?"

"Do not want to."

Gu Xiu rebuffed very firmly, raised the horsewhip in his hand and lashed Fifty Gold's buttocks, Fifty Gold ran wildly for a while, and finally rushed to the top of the hilly highland one step faster than Han Mochu.

Gu Xiu turned over and jumped off his horse, looking at the vast sky in front of him and the magnificent scenery of the northern country, he couldn't help but admire: "It's been so long since I've been here, this is the first time I've seen the scenery here."

"That's right, it's the first time I've seen this kind of scenery in the northern border." Han Mochu got off his horse and stood beside Gu Xiu. I don't know when, Gu Xiu, who was barely reaching his shoulders, has been with him now. Same height.

"Master, can you see the barracks in the distance?" Gu Xiu pointed at the scattered lights and smoke in the distance with a horsewhip in his hand.

"I can see it." Han Mochu looked in the direction of Gu Xiu's finger: "It turns out that His Highness led the minister to run so far."

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, today is His Royal Highness's Imperial Banquet, so it's not good for His Highness to escape from the banquet like this."

"So what? I'm already the King of War. Wouldn't it be nice to not have this meal with them?" Gu Xiu turned sideways to meet Han Mochu's eyes. The pride of the world.

"Yes, Your Highness is right." Han Mochu happily raised the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Your Highness is the first county king whose title is Zhan in ancient times."

"To me, this title is better than any beautiful words."

"Why?"

"Because my grandfather Yunlie's lifelong wish was not to enshrine wolves and live in Xuxu, but to end wars with war. I only hope that the world will be safe, and there will be no more wars to fight in the future."

"The wish of His Highness is also the wish of the minister. I only hope that the world will be safe and the world will be in harmony."

Under the boundless wilderness, two people who have experienced life and death several times, silently appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of them.

It seems that the world, mountains and seas, sun, moon, and stars as far as the eye can see belong to these two people only.

A gust of cold wind mixed with the unique dry and cold atmosphere of the northern border, swept in.

Han Mochu subconsciously tightened the cloak on his back, and said softly, "Your Highness, are you cold?"

"I'm fine. If Master is cold, just go down."

"No, the best scenery in the world is always on a high place. And the higher you stand, the more beautiful the scenery you can see." Han Mochu chuckled softly, "Your Highness, don't you want to stand on the highest place?"

"It's extremely cold at high places." Gu Xiu silently held Han Mochu's hand beside him, lifted it between the two of them and said, "So, you have to accompany me, even if it's the highest and coldest place, you have to accompany me."

"Okay, I promise you."
