The Han army's formation made a loud roar, and the brave and capable Qin army retreated.
Zhou Yuan stood at the top of the city, looking at the Qin army retreating in an orderly manner, with a flush on his face. After so many years, he finally saw someone who could defeat the Qin army.
The Han army fought with the Qin army and the Tang army. Not to mention losing more than winning, they basically suffered defeats but no victories. They never won even a single battle. If Qin and Tang had not restrained each other, the Han state would have been doomed long ago.
Zhou Yuan stood on the battlement and looked at the young man in the wheelchair below the city, his eyes blurred with tears.
After decades of enduring humiliation and living an ignoble existence, I finally waited for the person who had hope of defeating Qin and Tang.
Under the city, Su Ping galloped on his horse, picked up the head of a Qin general, and ran around the field while shouting. After running to his heart's content, he reached the side of Su Road, lifted his legs and got off the horse, and said excitedly.
"Second brother, I killed a seventh-grade Colonel Yihui with one blow. I won the first prize in this battle."
He Congzhi urged his horse over from one side, laughed and said:
"It's my first achievement. I also killed an eighth-grade Imperial Colonel. If he can be counted as his first merit in charging into the formation, our Han country can still be afraid of him Qin Tang."
Li Kun looked a little unkind. He was commanding the guards and retreated in the face of the battle. If it weren't for the battle formation card, deserters might have appeared. It was the first time that Li Kun, who commanded countless troops, encountered this situation. He handled it himself.
It's not good either, so he looks ugly.
Dong Ning was the last one to come over. The city defense camp he commanded was the worst. If the Qin army had not retreated, he felt that he was about to lose control. He could not tell when his subordinates would mutiny and flee.
However, after the battle just now, although it was not his turn to kill, his energy and spirit were obviously different, and after seeing the blood, he would not be as cowardly as this time and would mutiny in the future.
Well, Dong Ning is very satisfied.
A group of civil servants from Zhou Yuan also came down from the city. After last night's massacre, Ning'an City was cleaned up and countless civil servants were raped. Now the government affairs in the city are not paralyzed because of the several scribes that Zhou Yuan brought with him to rush back and forth.
.
Zhou Yuan walked a few steps quickly, his face flushed, and he bowed deeply to Su Lu:
"Your Majesty, I congratulate you on your victory, your great victory over the Qin army, and the siege of Ning'an."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Mr. Zhou was overjoyed. The Qin army received the news from He Congyun. They came here at starry night. If they weren't tired from the distance and didn't dare to fight, this battle would still be fought. It can't be said now.
Whoever wins wins or loses."
Zhou Yuan bowed deeply to Su Lu: "Your Majesty has led countless armies and won countless victories. Naturally, he looks down on this small victory, but the people of Ning'an value it, and the people of Anton value it. On behalf of the elders of Ning'an, I would like to thank you for saving my life."
With such grace, the prince will live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
Su Lu's impression of Zhou Yuan immediately improved. This guy was good at talking and could stabilize Ning'an's government affairs.
Why not leave Ning'an to him first, wait until Jiangzhou is captured, and establish the Jiangzhou Jiedu Mansion? If Zhou Yuan's performance is good, he can be promoted as the Jiedu official.
If the performance is not good, he will be replaced when the time comes.
"Mr. Zhou, I am new here, and I am not familiar with Anton. Now that the Qin army is approaching, I have no idea what to do. As soon as Anton responds to government affairs, you will handle it first. Later, I will write a letter to the three provinces to express that you are Anton.
A long history.”
Zhou Yuan suddenly felt as excited as a thousand-mile horse meeting Bole, and he bowed down and prostrated:
"Dare you fail to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
Su Lu turned to Qiao Dading and gave instructions:
"Tell Zhao Zheng later that you can lend Zhou Yuan to me for the time being, and don't give Master Zhou any tasks during this period of Ding Xiang Wei."
Qiao Dading was a little confused: "Your Majesty, I don't know Zhao Zheng."
Thirteen next to him pulled Qiao Dading and said, "I must tell Captain Zhao Zheng if you are mean."
Su Lu nodded, said nothing more, and ordered Li Kun and the others:
"This battle would not have been so easy if Su Ping had not led the old army to make dumplings from the Qin Army's vanguard camp."
"Send more scouts to trace the Qin army's movements, and gather all battalions to train and prepare for war."
"Li Kun, you are here to teach me. I will implement all orders and prohibitions within seven days. Within one month, all the guards will march in familiar formation."
Li Kun bowed and promised: "The general will finally understand."
Zhou Yuan said from the side: "Your Majesty, the governor's office has been cleaned up. You can move to the governor's office. The environment there is slightly better and it is more convenient for the generals to gather for discussion."
Su Lu nodded and ordered Zhou Yuan to lead the way. Tudun'er led the soldiers and shouted into the governor's mansion, where security was strictly enforced.
In the central hall, as soon as Su Lu sat down, Zhao Zheng came in with several people in guard uniforms. Zhao Zheng kneeled on the ground and spoke.
"Your Majesty, it has been found out that the Qin army came via a small road at the junction of Xiting and Anxi.
It was an area where the two sides had no control. Unexpectedly, a small road was opened by Xia Houwei, and somehow it was discovered by the Qin army. They detoured through the desert, took a small road, and went directly to the territory of Anton."
Su Lu nodded and told Zhao Zheng to sit down.
That's right. Although Kang Mazi doesn't have very good moral integrity, he shouldn't be able to defect to Qin. To take a step back, even if he can do it, his guards can teach him without having to do it himself.
Be a human being.
Zhou Yuan spoke: "In this case, Governor Kang is not a traitor. We must inform Governor Kang of this news quickly, and we must not let the retreating Qin army take advantage of it."
Zhao Zheng nodded: "I have already sent people to Xiting. The Governor's Mansion will know the news soon, but sir, the Qin Kingdom rashly invaded our Han Kingdom, and it was a large army. We can't just let it go.
Su Lu nodded.
"This matter cannot be settled like this. Zhou Yuan, please draft a document and inform Pu Chao, the commander-in-chief of Qin's border army, that the Qin army has attacked our Han country and a war has broken out with our Han country. Our country will lead the Tang Dynasty
Attack Qin."
Zhou Yuan and Zhao Zheng said almost at the same time: "My lord, no."
Su Lu waved his hand and continued:
"At the same time, we drafted a document to notify the Tang State, saying that our country was attacked by the Qin army, and the Andong and Xiting areas suffered heavy losses. The Chen army is now on the border, and a war with the Qin army will begin soon.
If the Tang State can send troops to capture the three counties of the Qin State, the Han State is willing to exchange Shangshan."
The faces of Zhao Zheng and Zhou Yuan turned dark. The prince is determined to fight with Qin. You must know that Qin is weak and Tang is strong. If Tang attacks Qin, Qin will not be able to stop the armies of the two countries. The correct approach is
It should be Lian Qin attacking Tang.
Zhou Yuan did not dare to neglect and began to draft the text, and several staff nearby came over to help.
Zhao Zheng struggled for a long time and couldn't help but said:
"Your Majesty, our Han Dynasty is weak, so we should be Lian Qin. I remember that you also supported Lian Qin in the court. How come you have become Lian Tang here?"
Su Lu glanced at Zhao Zheng and said:
"Lian Qin will naturally join forces, but we cannot kneel down to beg Qin, but they kneel down to beg us."
