In the Qinzheng Hall, the lights were brightly lit, and Li Qinggao was sitting on the throne.
Gao Zhan stood solemnly beside Li Qing. Behind the two of them stood several young eunuchs, and behind them stood the soldiers of the Forbidden Army wearing strong armor.
Yang Biao, Qian Qianyi, Yu Wei, Pang De, and the six ministers are basically here.
They are all here, waiting for the news of the war in Xiting to come back.
During the day today, news has come. Yesterday, the barbarian army captured the southern county and defeated the remnants of Cao Hua. Xiao Cong was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
Half of his neck was almost chopped off.
Cao Hua's army retreated and met Su Lu's reinforcements at Dongma Pass. Su Lu was reorganizing his army and preparing for a decisive battle.
Pang De stood up, walked to the door of Qinzheng Palace, and asked the palace guard on duty.
"But there is news, how is the battle at Dongma Pass?"
The palace guards shook their heads. Not only are the ministers here today, but the generals of the palace guards on the left and right are also at the door. The noble generals who are still in the capital are all waiting for the news from the south.
By this time, last night's battle should have ended, but it would take some more time to get this news back.
"Report"
A guard covered in armor lay on top of the palace guard commander Zhao Pu, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"The prince commanded the army and encountered a barbarian army at the Dongma Pass. The prince used his troops like a god and fought with the barbarians at the Dongma Pass. He defeated the barbarian's 800 vanguard army and won a great victory."
The guard lying on Zhao Pu's back shouted at the top of his lungs, regardless of the fact that he was inside the palace.
Pang De was overjoyed and rushed out of the palace gate to greet Zhao Pu.
"Quickly, General Zhao, come into the palace. Your Majesty and your lords have been waiting for a long time."
Zhao Pu did not dare to neglect, and rushed into the Qinzheng Hall with the guards on his back.
"Your Majesty, the war in the south has begun. Your Majesty has led the army in the first battle, and defeated the barbarian vanguard with more than 800 scouts."
Seeing Li Qing, the messenger woke up a little, lay on the ground, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Li Qing was overjoyed and gave the order: "Pass on the imperial physician, give him diagnosis and treatment, pass on the decree, pass on the letter. If you have meritorious service, he will be promoted to the sixth rank of Zhenwei Xiaowei, and will be promoted along with his official duties."
The guard who was lying on the ground to report the news was suddenly hit on the head by this great event, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
After a while, the imperial doctor arrived and gave Wei Jun a few injections. Wei Jun woke up slowly and his first words were:
"His Majesty just promoted me to the sixth rank of Zhenwei Colonel?"
Pang De patted his thigh and said, "Don't worry, there are many ministers who have testified that I can't defeat your Captain Zhenwei."
"Tell me, after the war, how is the prince doing? Are you ready to mobilize troops from the north?"
The guard shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "No, it shouldn't be necessary. When I came, the second barbarian army had already arrived. According to the scouts, there were about two thousand in number. The prince was preparing for the war.
.”
In an instant, the hall became quiet.
Although they won the first battle, this second battle seemed to be even more worrying. The two thousand barbarians were more than the eight hundred barbarians.
You must know that among all the countries that have defeated the barbarian army since the war, only Su Lu defeated the barbarians once with the strong city in western Liaoning.
This time it was a plain field battle, which was what the barbarians were good at, and their number exceeded two thousand.
The officials' originally relieved hearts suddenly became suspended again. Can the prince turn decay into magic this time and once again stage the myth he had in western Liaoning and defeat the barbarian army?
Li Qing sat down on the throne again, holding the armrests with both hands, his voice full of determination.
"My lords, please relax. Your Majesty's army has always been invincible and invincible. There is no need to worry. My lords just need to think carefully about how to reward these sergeants who fought against the barbarians."
After Li Qing finished speaking, the hall became lively, with people talking about wanting to be promoted to a higher position. However, because they didn't know how the next war was going, the ministers' discussions seemed to have no basis.
.
"I'll wait at the palace gate."
The Minister of Works, Yu Wei, was the first to be unable to bear it any longer. He got up first and walked out of the main hall.
"Report, Southern Border Army Report."
Li Lin entered the hall with two imperial guards and a messenger covered in blood on his back.
"The prince led his troops to defeat the barbarian army at the Dongma Pass, killing more than 1,500 enemies and achieving a great victory."
The guard who was covered in blood also shouted hoarsely, and the hall of Qinzheng was filled with the guard's hoarse voice.
"Click"
A crisp cracking sound came from the throne.
Li Qing stood up with half of the crushed armrest in his hand, his face full of surprise.
Finally a big victory.
Sure enough, Su Lu would not let him down.
Qian Qianyi cupped his fists and saluted Li Qing: "I'm so happy, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will lead the army to defeat the barbarians, and our Han country will have no worries."
Yu Wei also said respectfully: "Your Majesty's army can defeat the barbarians. Let's see if his barbarian beasts still dare to run wild in our country of Han."
Pang De asked the sergeant who reported the news hesitantly.
"Is the prince okay? Is the war over?"
The imperial doctor was already looking at the guard's injuries, and was wiping the blood on the guard's face with cotton cloth, and said in confusion.
"Your Majesty led the army to a great victory, so naturally it is a great victory."
Pang De shook his head, and all the eyes in the hall suddenly focused on the guard's face.
"Our army has a great victory, and another large army of barbarians has arrived."
Weijun said in a hoarse voice.
In the main hall, the monarch and his ministers took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time. In this way, thousands more barbarians rushed to fight for three consecutive times, and the prince might not be able to hold on.
Qian Qianyi comforted himself: "Your Majesty is a genius, how could he be defeated? There will definitely be a new battle report coming later, and it will definitely be your Majesty's victory over the barbarians."
Yu Wei also said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the prince's army is invincible and cannot be defeated."
Pang De's face looked a little ugly, and he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty's command of the army is very powerful, but with these three consecutive waves of armies, Your Majesty is afraid..."
"The prince has defeated the barbarians and captured the southern county."
The guard who was treating his injuries on the ground raised his head strangely, his voice surprised.
"The prince asked me to deliver the message. Naturally, he has won a great victory."
The guards looked at the ministers and senior officials around them with a strange look on their faces. Their faces were full of wonder. How could it be possible that the prince commanded the army to be defeated? The forces were overwhelming everywhere. Most of Xiting had probably overcome it by now.
Li Qing was overjoyed and stood up and asked: "Tell me about the war. Where is the prince now?"
The guard drank water, cleared his throat, and spoke.
"Your Majesty commanded the army. We encountered the defeated army of General Cao Hua in Dongma Mountain. General Cao Hua was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Most of General Wang's neck was cut off. The battle was extremely miserable."
"The first wave of barbarian troops arrived. The prince used some tricks to defeat the barbarian vanguard and beheaded more than 800 people."
"When the second wave of barbarian troops arrived, our army had just rested and had a great battle. We defeated this barbarian army and beheaded 1,500 people."
"When the third wave of barbarians arrived, our army had just encircled the second wave of barbarian troops. The war was about to break out. The prince made a prompt decision and withdrew the encirclement, allowing the second wave of barbarians to join the army and escape. He organized the army to prepare for war and defeated the third wave of barbarians again.
.”
"Three battles and three victories. When I came, the army led by the prince had already captured the southern county and the army was stationed in the southern county."
There was silence in the main hall.
After three battles and three victories, he used the defeated generals and the remnants of the remnants. Unexpectedly, Su Lu, with his ability to lead the army, managed to disperse the three barbarian armies and established a state. Among all the countries, no one had ever established a state.
great military exploits.
Tang Dynasty.
In Shangshan Jiedu Mansion, Xie Ruyu looked at the emperor in front of him with a nervous look on his face.
"Your Majesty, why do you need to risk yourself and come to this important place?"
Emperor Gao Lan of the Tang Dynasty held a scroll in his hand and asked: "The barbarian army has captured Xiting and the Han Dynasty is in danger. What is the current situation of the war?"
Xie Ruyu's expression changed and she lowered her voice.
"At midnight the day before yesterday, Su Lu unified his army and defeated the barbarians at Dongma Pass. They won three battles and three victories. Now the Han army has conquered the southern county."
Gao Lan had an expression on his face as if he had eaten shit. What, defeating the barbarians, three battles and three victories?
