Chapter 282 The reactions of all parties after the victory of Xiting
Pengxi City, an important town of the Tang Dynasty's border army, the Chinese Army
The camp was full of wounded soldiers, with wounded soldiers screaming in pain everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
In the big tent, Xie Ruyu held her hand in her arms and looked at the defense map hanging on the wall with a serious look. Next to her, Sun Cheng had his left arm exposed, and half of his shoulder was wrapped in a bleeding white cloth.
A group of staff generals and lieutenants gathered around the defense map on the table and discussed the battle situation.
A Chinese army guard entered the tent and loudly reported: "Report, Commander-in-Chief, thank you General, the Qin army has retreated."
The Chinese army tent instantly became quiet. Everyone looked at the Chinese army guards, with joy and confusion on their faces.
The Qin army retreated!
"Revisit"
Sun Cheng's voice was rich and he spoke in command.
Xie Ruyu looked at the defense map and focused on the upper right corner of the map, where the Han army's territory was.
"After our army defeated the Wuyuan Camp, the Han army took the Yulong and Shuangmiao. According to Li Chengfeng's temperament, he will not let go of such important places. The Qin army must have attacked the city."
Xie Ruyu pointed to the Twin Temple City and said.
Sun Cheng raised his nostrils and said in a rather disdainful tone: "We can't stop the Qin army, so why should the Han army? Su Lu, what a joke!"
In the camp, a group of generals and lieutenants were whispering and discussing the reasons for the Qin army's retreat.
It's past noon.
The scouts who were inquiring about the news finally returned. At this time, only Xie Ruyu and Sun Cheng were left in the Chinese army's tent, as well as Wei Huzi, who was sleeping soundly next to them.
"Report to the Governor, General Xie, the Qin army and the Han army fought in Shuangmiao, and each had its own victory or defeat. Li Chengfeng lost more than 10,000 troops, and the Qin army lost its spirit and retreated."
The scout said breathlessly.
Sun Cheng looked confused. The Han army really held back the Qin army.
A trace of flush flashed across Xie Ruyu's pale cheeks, and she asked: "Who wins and who loses? Can the Qin army capture Shuangmiao City?"
The scout replied: "No, the Han army still occupied Shuangmiao City. The Qin army bypassed the Shuangmiao City and reached the border and did not advance again. It is said that the Qin army was defeated by the Han army in a field battle on the plains, so it stopped.
Soldier."
Xie Ruyu nodded: "Brother Su is very talented, and it is possible for him to win against Li Chengfeng."
Wei Huzi chuckled and said: "When I was in Yanjing, I felt that this guy Su Lu was not simple. He commanded the same sergeant and could kill Li Lu in an instant without changing anything. He and Li Chengfeng were fighting with each other, and they were even the same.
It’s also normal.”
Sun Cheng snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that I, Sun Cheng, was not as good as Su Lu as a poet."
Xie Ruyu smiled warmly: "General Sun, Brother Su is not an ordinary poet. The people in Thule were scared when they heard his name. It is normal for him to be at odds with Li Chengfeng."
"Li Chengfeng failed to defeat the Han army. With Brother Su's restraint in Shuangmiao City, the Qin army will definitely not dare to attack Pengxi again. General Sun, I will return to Beijing immediately and report these things to Your Majesty."

Han Dynasty, Yanjing, Qinzheng Palace
Li Qing looked at the book in his hand and asked Luo Xuan who was at the foot of the imperial stairs.
"The prince asked you to come back, do you know what the prince wants?"
Luo Xuan bowed and said, "I have returned as ordered. I have never thought about the prince's intentions, but I can't escape the idea of loving and protecting me."
Li Qing looked at the fold with a smile on his face.
"Xiting has fought against Qin and Tang for many years, and this time it finally won a big victory. Although it cannot be publicized due to the agreement between the prince and Li Chengfeng, we still want a big reward for all the troops."
"Luo Xuan listened to the title. You have served with meritorious service in the army. You have served successively as the governor of Xiting, the chief minister, and the staff general. You have made outstanding achievements. I have specially ordered you to serve as a fourth-rank general Mingwei, and to be promoted to the founding son of the country."
The surprise that suddenly fell on his head almost knocked Luo Xuan unconscious. He didn't react for a long time, but Gao Zhan still opened his mouth to urge him.
"Master Luo, don't worry too much about being happy. You always want to express gratitude."
Luo Xuan recovered from the surprise, burst into tears, and bowed to the ground to pay homage.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
"I must be honest and loyal to Your Majesty until my death."
Li Qing waved his hand, motioning for Luo Xuan to stand down, and said in a gentle tone: "There is no need for you to be ruined. Fighting with your prince well is the greatest reward for me."
"By the way, the prince has been away from Beijing for some time. Has his injury healed greatly? I have sent people over these days to see his injuries, but I can't see him."
Luo Xuan, who wanted to get up, hesitated, and lay on the ground without daring to move.
Before coming here, Su Lu had already told him that if he wanted to be promoted to a knighthood, he would have to conceal his injuries. At best, he would have to wait until after he had achieved victory to reveal his injuries, otherwise he would definitely lose his title.
With his sharp eyes, Li Qing immediately saw something was wrong with Luo Xuan, and his voice suddenly became cold.
"Luo Xuan, please tell me the truth. How is the prince's injury?"
Luo Xuan's body trembled, not knowing whether he should conceal it or state the truth.
Gao Zhan stood on the imperial steps and said softly: "Master Luo, the prince is your majesty's beloved. I think Master Luo also has someone he loves. Comparing his feelings, Master Luo should be able to understand your majesty's feelings."
Luo Xuan immediately thought of his wife and parents. If they were seriously injured and had to run around for their family and country, he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the prince's old injuries have not healed. In this battle, some new injuries have been added. The military doctor recommended the ghost-hand miracle doctor who treated the prince's wounds last time. Your Majesty, please issue an order and ask the world to ask the ghost-hand miracle doctor to come to the West Pavilion to treat the prince.
Diagnose injuries.”
"Wow"
Li Qing stood up, and the memorials and pens and ink on the imperial case fell to the floor. Ink was splashed everywhere, and his purple robe was stained with ink.
"Is the injury serious?"
Li Qing's eyes were like two sharp swords, directed at Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan was stared at by Li Qing, like a thorn in his back, and his voice couldn't help but weaken: "It's very serious, and I can hardly do anything. If I can't find the ghost hand, the prince..."
Li Qing suddenly turned around and ordered Gao Zhan: "Pass an order to the northern states to search for the whereabouts of the ghost-hand miracle doctor as soon as possible. Officials everywhere will be rewarded with a hundred gold if they can find the ghost-hand."
"Li Ling, the Ding Xiang Guards are out everywhere. You must find the ghost hand. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship."
In the Qinzheng Hall, the originally joyful atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Luo Xuan lay on the ground, cold sweat dripping down his back.
The great victory at Xiting is a national event, but judging from His Majesty's reaction, this great victory is not as good as the safety of the Marquis. If the Marquis has three advantages and two shortcomings, Your Majesty is afraid that he will soon go to war with the Qin State. Even if he exhausts his national strength, he will not let it go.
Passed through Qin.
Western Qin, Yongdu Palace.
After hearing the report from his ministers, Emperor Qin's face suddenly turned cold, and he stood up and paced back and forth.
"Su Lu, Su Lu, such a genius, it's a pity that he can't be used by me."
"Pass an edict to search the world for the whereabouts of the ghost hand. Once found, he will be sent to Xiting immediately."
The minister asked Qin Emperor strangely: "Your Majesty, Su Lu defeated General Li and was a powerful enemy of our Qin country. If he dies, it will be a great thing for our Qin country. Why do you want to save him?"
Emperor Qin sneered: "If Qin, Han, Tang and Qi were the only ones in the world, then it would be better for him to die. It's a pity that there are more than just our four countries in the world."
"General Li is old. The one the world can rely on in the future may be Su Lu."
Tang Dynasty, Imperial Palace.
When Gao Lan heard the news about Xiting's victory and Su Lu's serious injury, he suddenly felt bad.
"Xie Qing, you are also fooling around. Talented people like the Su family can't find a way to invite me, but they are hurting me because of Datang's affairs."
"Pass the decree and search the world. If the ghost hand is found, he will be sent to Xiting."
Xie Ruyuyan smiled at Yan Yan: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Brother Su is a good person. How could he die so easily? He only wrote a few poems, but the world is still waiting for his poems to be spread all over the world."
Gao Lan patted the armrest and laughed: "That's right. It's spread all over the world that Xie Qing has won my heart."
