Emperor Liang looked at the memorial in his hand and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
It was so shocking that Emperor Liang almost fainted from joy.
It's a good thing that I'm sitting on the dragon's throne now, otherwise I might be so weak that I can't stand.
This overwhelming victory instantly reversed Daliang's border disadvantage and severely damaged the Northern Wei Dynasty's arrangement of Nanyue Mountain.
This made the Northern Wei Dynasty's plan to cross the river and besiege the city aborted.
At least it bought Daliang ten years of time to recuperate.
With this time, Daliang can regain its national strength and compete with it again. By then, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.
Annihilated the enemy's 150,000 elite troops in one battle.
He hasn't lost any troops yet.
Three battle reports and memorials appeared on Emperor Liang's desk at the same time.
Among them, there are only a few war reports of the Supervisory Army, which recorded everything he saw and heard. Although the text is thin, it improved Wen Yue's status.
Although the commander-in-chief's memorial was to plead for merit for Wen Yue, it was secretly belittling Wen Yue for not respecting the general's orders and insisting on his own way.
He also emphasized that he sent Wen Yue to defeat the Three Thousand Cavalry and then obtained information.
I originally wanted to order the more stable general to go, but I didn't expect that Wen Yue, in order to grab credit, made a big fuss and then led his troops to fight. Fortunately, the final result was still under his control.
Finally, under his command, 150,000 enemy troops were defeated.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Liang frowned slightly and turned to pick up the deputy commander's memorial.
Annan's memorials are also very well written. It's hard to imagine that a big man with a beard could have such delicate calligraphy.
Although it was not stated explicitly, most of the memorials praised Wen Yue and gave the general situation of the matter.
Frankly speaking to Emperor Liang, Geng Lie was not a good commander. He had a hot temper and was prone to anger. If he was appointed, the situation in Tongguan would not be greatly changed.
Annan was a good fighter, but when it came to writing, he was no match for the scholar-bureaucrats.
Why look at the supervisors first? Because the supervisors are palace people and the emperor's domestic slaves. Whether they are scholar-bureaucrats or nobles, they are all ministers. A servant who has a servant is more trustworthy.
Therefore, Emperor Liang first read the memorial of the slaves, then looked at the commander, and then asked the deputy commander.
Three in one, piece together a rough situation.
The probability of three people lying at the same time is too small. Even if two of them are lying, one of them can let the emperor know some specific circumstances.
If one person lies, the other two can make up for it.
Emperor Liang looked at Gao Quan beside Gong Li and praised: "My eldest companion, Wen Yue is truly an unparalleled wise general."
"Who would have thought that he would find out where the Northern Wei army was stationed."
"They even marched for more than 200 miles on a snowy night, dug up the embankment of the Luo River, and flooded the 150,000 elite troops."
"Given the weather that day, even if a small number of people drowned, more than half of them froze to death."
"True is the pillar of the country!"
In the past, Emperor Liang was intangible with emotion and anger, and did not speak much. Today, he was very talkative, and he even made no secret of his admiration for Wen Yue.
Gao Quan hurriedly handed over the message: "It's all thanks to His Majesty's great blessings, his keen eye for recognizing heroes, and his understanding of the situation on the border."
"If you hadn't saved him, Wen Yue would still be in the house trying to save his life."
Emperor Liang was naturally very pleased with this flattery, and the smile on his face became a little brighter.
Although Gao Quan was smiling, he secretly felt that he was in danger.
If the supervisor hadn't been one of his men, Wen Yue would have definitely been tricked by Geng Lie this time.
When Emperor Liang was reading the memorial just now, Gao Quan glanced at it twice.
Geng Lie's memorial made his scalp numb and his hair stand on end. He still hasn't calmed down yet.
While they were talking, the three prime ministers and assistants had already entered the main hall of the meeting hall.
The three prime ministers and assistants spoke in unison and bowed to say hello.
"install."
Emperor Liang waved his hand calmly and said: "Give me a seat for your three beloved ladies."
The youngest of the three prime ministers and assistants looked to be sixty years old. They were all old foxes. It didn’t take much to understand why Emperor Liang summoned the three of them to the council at this time.
However, all three of them were able to keep their composure, and no one spoke first.
"Do the three beloved ladies know about the great victory at Tongguan?"
"I just heard this."
"The specific situation is not yet known."
Emperor Liang glanced at him, and Gao Quan quickly showed the good news to the three prime ministers.
The three of them became more and more frightened as they watched. They did not expect such a great victory.
When they looked at each other, they could see shock in each other's eyes, but at the same time they were also deeply worried.
But at this time, everyone could see that Emperor Liang was very happy, and no one wanted to dampen the emperor's interest.
Compliments quickly.
"It all depends on His Majesty's command."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Daliang."
"Your Majesty defended the territory and opened up the territory. This great victory is in keeping with your Majesty's civil and military achievements."
Emperor Liang unconsciously smiled, and then said ambitiously: "I intend to send an additional 100,000 troops to recapture the entire Nanyue Mountains in one fell swoop."
"What do you think, dear sirs?"
The three of them looked as if this was indeed the case.
This victory obviously made Emperor Liang think twice and felt that he could compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty again.
"Your Majesty, rewards and punishments for military exploits still need to be dealt with. Furthermore, we have to ask General Wen about the border war."
"The national treasury is empty. With this great victory, our people in Daliang can rest and recuperate."
"..."
"This battle may become a bargaining chip for peace talks."
Although these few words were not objectionable, they did not mean to support Emperor Liang.
Although he knew this was the result, and Emperor Liang also knew that he was being hot-headed, it would be a pity to just give up. It seemed that he could take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
Emperor Liang muttered: "If we allocate internal funds..."
"Your Majesty, think twice."
…
The meeting hall is brightly lit.
Nei Zhengsi was unusually deserted.
Even the candles in the main hall were not lit, and a faint shadow enveloped most of Zheng Zhong's body.
Zheng Zhong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He is going to die.
He clearly felt His Majesty's alienation. In the past, he always supported Quan Quan and would take him with him no matter what, but this time he left him and only took Zheng Zhong to the meeting hall.
Instead of getting rid of Wen Yue, he actually grew into a serious trouble within three months.
Now it is not Gao Quan who supports Wen Yue at all, but the other way around.
If we wait any longer until Wen Yue fully grows up, there will be endless troubles.
Wen Yue's strength is at least that of an innate grandmaster.
Because Mr. Shen once killed the Grand Master, and now that Mr. Shen is missing, he was probably killed by Wen Yue.
"Godfather."
Anze, the eunuch in green clothes, walked in with small steps and softly called out as he knelt down.
"Are there any opportunities available?" Zheng Zhong's voice was completely cold.
He is not willing to fail.
Even if there is no opportunity, you have to create it yourself.
Anze said respectfully: "My godfather knows things like a god, and God will not destroy us."
"When he went on an expedition three months ago, Wen Yue had removed a group of embroidered guards from Nanya."
"What's the explanation for this?"
"There once was a Baihu in Nanya Xiuyiwei, named Xiang Hu."
"After Xiang Hu died, Tietou became the leader of that small gang."
"When Tietou led a group of embroidered guards to defect to Wenyue, Wang Zhi of Qianhu disappeared and was initially judged to be dead."
Zheng Zhong frowned and listened carefully to his godson's report on trivial matters.
Regardless of whether it was those people who killed him or not, if we are to find an opportunity now, it must be them.
However, Zheng Zhong shook his head slightly and said: "Although the crime of killing thousands of households is serious, it cannot be pinned on their heads. Wen Yue cannot be killed."
The death of a thousand households is not a big deal at all.
If Wen Yue launches another iron head cylinder, this matter will not affect Wen Yue.
Even if the person is just missing, if Wen Yue is not crucified in the end, the situation will be very unfavorable for them.
"My godfather doesn't know something. The name of this thousand households is Wang Zhi."
"He is the brother-in-law of Geng Lie, the Minister of War."
Zheng Zhong's eyes widened fiercely, his breathing became heavy, and he said urgently: "Seriously?!"
"Absolutely true."
Zheng Zhong stood up violently and burst into laughter.
