Zhanjing Palace City, Jinluan Palace.

On the dragon chair, the empress, who has a beautiful face, fair and radiant skin, but tightly pursed red lips and a cold expression, is wearing a gorgeous and solemn court dress, sitting still.

Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the crown on her flat crown hung straight down, half-covering her expression, making her appear extraordinarily majestic and magnanimous.

Many high-ranking civil and military officials were lined up on the left and right, wearing purple robes and holding tablets in their hands. They were silent and silent. The whole hall was full of nobility.

Not far from the empress, an old eunuch read loudly, "If there is nothing to do, please withdraw from the court."

Some of the military attachés standing in the right column immediately raised their heads and looked forward.

Without delay, Zhan Taiping, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately went out to report, "I have my own book to start this memorial."

The empress glanced at her bright eyes and said flatly, "My dear, please speak."

The Secretary of the Ministry of War immediately lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "The bandit troubles are getting worse and worse. The number of bandits continues to grow, and the number has reached 700,000..."

Before the Minister of War had finished speaking, many civil servants and generals could not help but take a breath of cold air and began to whisper.

"A few days ago, wasn't there only half a million?"

"In just a few days, it reached 700,000. This increase is amazing!"

"Zhao Lie was flooded, the floods were boundless, and the number of people affected by the disaster reached millions. Even though King Mu tried his best to provide disaster relief, he could not stop the flow of refugees. These people were bewitched by mountain bandits and became bandits. Their power was naturally terrifying."

"But didn't His Majesty send Chi Dusi to lead 300,000 troops to suppress the bandits? Why was there no progress?"

While talking about this, everyone remained silent and looked at the empress, wondering what her attitude was.

The empress frowned, with some displeasure in her eyes, and asked, "How is the battle against bandits going?"

"The battle situation is not very optimistic," the Minister of the Ministry of War frowned and said in a deep voice, "After Chi Dusi led his army to Panlian Mountain, he leaned against the mountain to defend, set up camp, and fought six times with the bandits, large and small, and won.

Defeat and gain little."

Wen Xiang, who was standing in the front row on the left, turned his head and asked coldly, "Please ask Zhan Shangshu to clear up my doubts. Has Chidu Si launched a decisive battle?"

Zhan Taiping, Minister of War, shook his head and said, "We have never initiated a decisive battle."

"It has been eight days since we arrived in Panlian, but we have yet to attack with all our strength. We are just making small fuss, giving the bandits a chance to expand their power." Wen Xiang frowned, looked at the empress, and said in a deep voice, "It's so ineffective, your majesty."

, Zhi Dusi’s crime of dereliction of duty!”

Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of War frowned and immediately responded, "Your Majesty, all the ministers have understood what Chidusi has done, and it is indeed appropriate. When you first arrive in Panlian, the situation is unclear, so you should not rush into a decisive battle!"

"In addition, a few days ago, Panlian's bandits numbered 500,000, while Chidusi only had more than 300,000 men. Their military strength is inferior to that of the other side. Unless the opportunity is perfect, we must not rush into a general attack!"

After hearing what the Minister of War said, even if Wen Xiang was not good at strategy, he knew that when the troops were insufficient, he really shouldn't act rashly, so he could only snort and not continue the impeachment.

The empress frowned, and her beautiful face looked quite displeased.

That's true, but the war situation is unfavorable, so naturally she can't be happy.

Nodding, the empress said coldly, "I am ordering Chi Dusi not to hesitate any longer, lest the bandits take advantage of the situation and increase in number!"

The Minister of War raised his hands and said, "I understand."

Without returning to his original position, the Minister of War continued, "I still have this memorial."

The expression on his face changed from the previous depression and became relaxed.

The empress narrowed her bright eyes and nodded.

The Minister of War said loudly, "In the early morning, the battle report from southern Xinjiang has come."

After hearing this, many civil servants and military generals could not help but frown and sigh, turning their heads to look with great concern.

There have been no battle reports from southern Xinjiang for several days, and now the situation... I am afraid it will be extremely tragic!

The empress couldn't help but straighten her body and lean forward slightly, revealing her graceful curves, looming.

She frowned, her bright eyes full of concern, and she was obviously worried about the war situation in southern Xinjiang.

"This battle report is great news!" the Minister of War said loudly without giving in, "Qin Yi, the acting school captain, laid out a plan to deceive the soldiers. He personally led more than 2,000 people and went out day and night to avoid the barbarians' eyes and ears, and arrived the day before yesterday.

The barbarian camp was captured in an instant, beheading 1,432 people, capturing 982 people, including the barbarian king and his family, and also seized a lot of property and armaments!"

When the senior officials in the hall heard this, they were immediately shocked, and their eyes were filled with incredible looks!

The battle report came in a few days ago, and the five teams were still in a bad situation. How could we know that Qin Yi could achieve such a great victory a few days later? It is truly a miracle!

More importantly, Qin Yi's victory was not an ordinary victory, but made history!

Barbarians are a disease in southern Xinjiang. They have been harassing and harassing for decades. All the emperors have sent people to conquer them, but no one has been able to return victoriously.

Even though the former Duke Ying, who was ranked in Lingyun Pavilion, was extremely talented, he could only fail.

But Qin Yi actually did it!

It’s so shocking that I have to admire him. He is truly a genius!

The empress was very surprised. She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. Her red lips raised slightly with a hint of smile.

He tried his best to keep his face calm, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel happy.

At this time, the country was plunged into turmoil that had never happened in a century. The stubborn diseases in southern Xinjiang were recurring, floods that had never happened in a century, bandits numbering as many as 700,000, and the great distance that was eyeing them... all made the empress full of worry and very depressed.

But now, Qin Yi has overcome difficulties, created miracles, and brought great victory to Linzhan, which has made the melancholy in her heart disappear a lot in an instant.

"This boy is so wonderful!"

"Yes, he has the demeanor of a famous general!"

"Perhaps our government will produce another warrior whose name is Cang Yuan!"

Listening to everyone's praise, Ding Junhou raised his head high and his smile was as bright as a flower!

Let Qin Yi go to suppress the barbarians, but it was his suggestion, so he was very proud!

He straightened his clothes, went out immediately, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Qin Yi has done such a remarkable feat, so he deserves to be the number one scholar!"

Having already heard the news, Prime Minister Wu, who looked quite calm, also came out and said, "I second the proposal!"

Five or six generals were on duty at the same time, "Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"

As military generals, they naturally paid attention to Qin Yi and knew that he had repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats, but he was unable to receive heavy rewards because of the obstruction of the minister of literature. Now, no matter what he said, they could not let the civil servants stop him anymore.

Wen Xiang wanted to speak, but seeing this look, he could only shut up.

He knew that the empress specifically supported him in order to balance the power in the court, but she would always reuse talented people.

So even if he tried to dissuade her, it would not help.

Just because of this, Qin Yi’s achievements were so great that they were recorded in Qing history!
