Chapter 72: The female general of the country's ruined family is the first
Huo Junxin went south from the border of the Great Wall.
The army was stationed in the north, and Huo Junxin only picked 20 elite soldiers to accompany him on this trip to the south.
She is not a lonely hero, but in the current situation, the Huo family army needs to sit in the north.
If there are too many people, the forces in the north will be reduced, and the Queen Mother Xiao of Qi country will change her mind and fight again, and the north will be very dangerous. Moreover, since the army is in the north, she has all the areas north of Cangzhou as her protection. As long as the emperor still has a little brain left, he will not act rashly.
Of course, she didn't have complete confidence in the intelligence quotient of the traitor.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains tend to travel in the mountains, the risks must be great. But if you want to do big things without taking risks, you can't do it.
On the way to the south, Huo Junxin didn't go straight to Lin'an, but walked back along her northbound route and took a look.
After driving away the Qi people, the city quickly regained its vitality after a period of chaos. Her family, the daughters of the Huo family are all outstanding. The base city is orderly and thriving.
Huo Jun Xinlai was very low-key, but she was so famous that she was recognized by enthusiastic people halfway through.
Everyone lined the streets to welcome, and firecrackers were fired in unison.
The arrival of Huo Jiajun broke through the darkness. After being a slave who was inferior to pigs and dogs for so many years, finally the light came. The gratitude to Huo Junxin and the trust in Huo Jiajun are beyond words.
Regardless of the war, Huo Junxin has never seen the enthusiasm of the people. Everyone was embarrassed to compliment her.
After riding for five days, Huo Junxin returned to the devastated Yingzhou after half a year.
This dilapidated and empty city has not yet regained its former vitality, but with the joint efforts of craftsmen, people and soldiers, it has gradually become more like it.
The corpses of the moat were taken out and buried in a collective burial, and the charred bones of soldiers on the battlefield were also buried collectively.
Huo Jun saw it in his heart, and a monument was erected outside Yingzhou City.
When the monument was erected, the emperor decreed to scold her, and countless officials sent letters to persuade her, and there were many people who tried to cause trouble and sabotage. But the monument still stands.
The imperial court delayed the war opportunity, causing the army defending the city to run out of ammunition and food to die, the city of Yingzhou was destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives.
This bad history will be firmly engraved in history, and I hope that tragic moment will be firmly remembered by future generations.
Back in Cangzhou, the changes here made Huo Junxin and his party very emotional.
When they left, Cangzhou looked like it had just gotten rid of the war, but now it is flourishing.
There are many more people. Cangzhou, where Huo Jiajun is there, has become the most ideal place for many people. People who live in turbulent areas relying on the northwest location come to Cangzhou one after another.
Cangzhou is very lively and prosperous.
Hometown, looks a bit strange.
Huo Junxin was going to stay in Cangzhou for a few days. Most of the elite soldiers who followed her this time were from Cangzhou, so she also gave everyone a vacation.

Standing in front of Huo's house, Huo Jun sighed deeply.
There are changes everywhere in Cangzhou, but the Huo family has not changed much.
When the doorman saw her appear, everyone was so happy and stupid, and the people who ran to report the news were not at ease. Soon the news spread throughout the house.
Huo Junxin walked quickly, but before she reached the lobby, the old lady came to see her on crutches.
"Old lady, Junxin is back." Huo Junxin knelt down and saluted the old lady.
"Silly girl, get up!" The old lady pulled Huo Junxin to examine it carefully.
Seeing the old lady after a long absence, the strong old man had tears in his eyes, both joy and worry.
She saw scars on Huo Junxin's face, and also saw a dark red scar on her neck, all traces left by the sword.
As strong as she was, the tears still lingered. I don't know how many wounds there are in this invisible place.
In the past six months, Huo Jun's heart has reported good news instead of bad news, and the battle has gone smoothly. It seems that everything is under her control. But the sins of her injuries have been concealed, and now she is very distressed when she sees it.
I don't know what's wrong with the soldiers of the Huo family, who are injured and refuse to tell their family members.
But the taste of being kept secret is not good!
"You kid, don't learn from them. If you are injured in the future, you must tell the truth." The old lady said.
"Okay, baby, pay attention in the future." Huo Jun agreed.
Of course, this is just a comforting remark from Huo Junxin. Really on the battlefield, how can there be time to report safety? Even though I was injured, I tried to write a letter. Besides, what's the use of telling the old lady? It makes the old man sad for nothing, but it has no effect except to cause trouble.
Huo Junxin was talking to the old lady, and the maid Biyun came out with a chubby little treasure.
"Mom! Mom!" Little Treasure cried milkily, struggling happily in Biyun's arms, his cute little face blooming with a smile.
As soon as Biyun walked to Huo Junxin's side, Xiaobao desperately wanted to jump out of her arms. Biyun took a lot of effort to make sure the child didn't fall out.
Huo Junxin took over Xiaobao immediately, and Xiaobao happily grabbed the placket of her clothes. The noisy child returned to his mother's arms and was instantly quiet.
"Mom?" Xiaobao stared at her with wide eyes and looked at her without blinking.
"Hey! Xiaobao, mom is back." Huo Junxin hugged his son and patted him on the back.
Xiaobao giggled, he was very happy.
"Ma'am, the young master thinks of you every day, and calls his mother every day, so he is looking forward to your return!" Bi Yun said. As someone who stayed at home, seeing her half-year-old child thinking of her mother every day, she felt sad.
"Really?" Huo Junxin kissed Xiaobao's cheek happily, and the child laughed and was born.
Intellectually, she didn't think children under one year old would remember her. I can call mom, but it's because all human beings, no matter what era, what language, or who they are, the sound of "ma" is the first sound that children learn.
Xiaobao just called out unconsciously, but the adults made up for it.
However, she can't deny that she likes this kind of brain supplement.
"I'll stay with Xiaotian for a few more days and have fun with you." Huo Jun thought the child's promise.
She is really not very responsible for being a mother. It took only half an hour to get along with my son in this world. Soon, she will leave again. Get along well with him these days.
"Good! Good!" Xiaobao shouted dancing, he was very happy.
*
Huo Junxin rested in Cangzhou for five days. After receiving news from Lin'an, the terms of the peace talks were almost reached, and the emperor's latest summoning edict was issued, and Huo Junxin was ready to go on the road.
The night before leaving, Huo Jun begged to see the old lady and asked her for a key thing.
"What do you want?" the old lady asked, she actually had guesses in her heart.
Huo Junxin kowtowed to the old lady, and said boldly: "Old lady, I want to use the dragon head crutches given by Emperor Taizu!"
The old lady's kind face turned stern in an instant. Although she had guessed it, she still hoped that her granddaughter-in-law would pull back from the precipice!
Does Huo Junxin know what she is going to do? !
"Jun Xin, our Huo family is loyal and fierce, and we don't do that kind of infamy!" The old lady reminded.
Emperor Taizu gave the dragon-headed crutches, knocking out the king and punishing the traitor.
Of course, this is obviously just a pretext. It is a method used by the Emperor to appease his loyal ministers, and at the same time, to admonish the princes who had been fighting against each other for the crown prince. This means that the emperor does not want the Huo family to participate in the struggle for succession, and also drives their Huo family to the opposite side of all the princes. They are not only loyal subjects of the emperor, they also have the right to be above the king. This thing made the later emperors dislike their Huo family.
However, how could they be courtiers to show their prestige with imperial gifts?
So, what does Huo Junxin want to do? !
"Don't worry, old lady, trying to usurp the throne is not what I want, I just seek justice for the Huo family and the people of Yingzhou City!" Huo Jun assured.
She went to Lin'an on this trip and needed a protection, so that the emperor would not dare to touch her at all. Royal gifted dragon head crutches are the best choice.
Yuci can't be postponed, but in fact, the Huo family can't use it, and they don't dare to use it.
Something so powerful is like a sword of Damocles hanging over every king's head, and this dragon-headed cane is a curse.
Today's Shun Jun has changed his tactics to harm the Huo family, to take back his military power, and to take back this imperial gift.
Daxia pays the most attention to a word of filial piety, and the authority of the late emperor is still effective in the contemporary era. What the emperor feared most was being expelled from the throne by the Huo family, so it was better to strike first.
Huo Junxin's temper, of course, I will do whatever you are afraid of.
No matter why the Emperor gave such a thing, he always put the right to supervise the king in the hands of the Huo family.
When Jun Jun appeared, she still protected her without beating, wouldn't this live up to her hope?
Huo Junxin is ready to fulfill the responsibility of supervision.
"No, Junxin, keep all your ideas for me!" The old lady was conservative, and Huo Junxin's plan was like crazy. Her can't agree. The reputation of the Huo family can't be ruined just like that!
"Old lady!" Huo Jun said in his heart: "Which is more important than the integrity of the Huo family and the peace of the people in the world?"
She only subdued the north, and there was a wider territory in the northwest that had not been taken back. Their opponents were not only the Liao people, but also the increasingly powerful Yan state, and the millennium scourge of the Huns.
It is impossible for these people to stop aggression for their own development. She wants to fight them all and drive them out of the country!
To fight, Huo Junxin needs the support of a good emperor behind his back.
The war requires money, grain, craftsmen, people, and the cooperation of officials from all over the world. No matter how capable the Huo family is, their manpower is limited. Only the emperor has the right to allocate resources and manpower across the country. She was not allowed to have an emperor who was not worthy to stab her in the back.
This emperor is not strong, and it is not bad to change the emperor while taking advantage of the enemy's government.
She didn't believe that a great summer would not be able to pick out an outstanding talent.
"You...you are so daring!" The old lady was so angry that she was about to explode: "You kneel here for me and reflect on it!"
She patted the table heavily, and let the personal maid help her away.
Huo Jun raised his head and wanted to persuade the old lady again, but saw a bunch of keys left in the old lady's original position.
That is the key to the warehouse where the imperial gift is enshrined.
Although verbally reluctant, the old lady still left the key.
Huo Junxin clenched the key tightly and went to the warehouse to take out the holy relic—the dragon head crutch.
The red silk embroidered with the golden dragon pattern wraps the dragon head crutch, and the tied ribbon is untied to reveal the dazzling crutch itself.
The cane made of pure gold shone brightly, and a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon was coiled on the cane, glaring at it, majestic and solemn.
After Huo Junxin confirmed it, he wrapped the crutches again and took them away together with the imperial decree.
Huo Junxin set off, and on the way to Lin'an, the capital of the country, Huo Junxin arrested officials who were involved in harassing Huo's army along the way.
The emperor of the capital was preparing to sign and seal the terms of the peace agreement, and there was an emergency military intelligence report for 800 miles.
Huo Junxin was holding the holy relic, the dragon head crutch, and ordered the people and soldiers of the various states.
Execution of traitors, side of Qing Jun
She came for the supreme emperor.

The dragon head crutch also comes from the folklore of the Yang family. Also has the function of "stunning the king and beating the greedy ministers below", as well as the golden mace of the Eighth Prince, and the queen of beating the king's whip. Of course, these are just good folk legends.
