Since receiving the report of the Southern Expedition going deep into Annan territory, the court has not received any more reports from Guangnan East Road and Jingchu Road regarding the supply of food and fodder for the army.
This also made the court feel a lot more relaxed, as they could just wait for the report.
Although the days are like years, Zhao Zhen has no other choice.
He really wanted to send the imperial army to the south to support his son. But he also knew that this issue would not be passed in court.
It is impossible for the Western Army to mobilize more than 10,000 people, and he also knows both the Capital Forbidden Army and the Hebei Forbidden Army.
If you really send them there, it will be of no use except a waste of money and food.
Furthermore, no one in Ciming Palace, whether it was the Cao family or the Gao family, was as worried as him, and they didn't seem to be worried about Xi'er at all.
Xi'er has a letter for them... There are accidents on the battlefield. Think of the Xiao family in Daliao back then... You can't think of this. This is slandering the merits of your elders.
But, are you all so worried about Xi'er going into dangerous places?
Of course, it is impossible not to worry at all, but the Cao family and the Gao family know Zhao Xi better than Zhao Zhen.
From the lines of the letter, one can understand Zhao Xi's relaxation and some worries about the country.
Zhao Xi witnessed the Guangnan Rebellion with his own eyes, and Zhao Xi also knew the qualities of the Forbidden Army.
Although in the tone of the letter, Zhao Xi regarded the beating of Annan as a father's lesson to his disobedient children. However, he also expressed concern about Annan and Dali coveting the territory of the country.
Therefore, it is imperative to go deep into dangerous areas.
They didn't think much about this. The imperial court was not yet time for them to worry about. They were very concerned about what Zhao Xi said that there would be huge profits in Guangnan in the future.
People say that the smog-stricken land of Guangnan is the place where people were sent to the country, but Zhao Xi said that Guangnan not only has mountains and rivers, but also has products.
They believed Zhao Xi and everything Zhao Xi said would become a fact.
In this way, the two of them are less worried.
Besides, the official family is already like this. If they are also worried, I'm afraid the official family will take some inappropriate measures.
In order to avoid disturbing their minds, they even refused to visit the palace with their parents-in-law. For no reason, after all, their parents-in-law were in the military, and they were afraid that the deductions made by their parents-in-law would overturn their beliefs.
In this way, I was immersed in Zhao Xi's relaxed tone and no longer worried.
Zhao Xi is indeed relaxed. When it comes to grinding teeth with others, Yu Jing and Sun Mian are better than him. Sometimes he doesn't want to control his emotions... He beat you to the ground, and you still bargain with me for a price?
But Yu Jing and Sun Mian were not worried about this. Isn't it just grinding their teeth? Isn't it just bickering? Isn't it just nonsense? These were all practiced in the court.
The key is that now we all know that Annan is in a hurry. Since the other party is in a hurry, we can't be in a hurry. Take your time, there is a supply of food and grass anyway...
…
Bianliang didn't wait long, probably about ten days.
Zhao Zhen couldn't wait any longer. He just wanted to relax in Ciming Palace after going to the office every day.
As long as the court is in the court, there will always be gossip about Guangnan. Some people even clamor for the court to quickly send Zhengdan envoys to Annan to resolve...
The princes ignored him and did not refute, leaving Zhao Zhen alone with a headache and upset.
Fortunately, the report from the front has finally arrived. It’s a big victory!
"The king's army attacked Annan Gao State, killing five thousand and taking tens of thousands of prisoners!"
"The king's army attacked Annan Gao State, killing five thousand and taking tens of thousands of prisoners!"
…
He roared from the city gate and ran all the way to the palace.
How long has it been? Maybe the old people in Bianliang City still have memories.
Since Taizong's surrender, the dynasty has never conquered another country's city.
How many years has it been? What the people of Bianliang heard most was how many soldiers the King's Division had lost and how much food they had lost.
this time……
In the daze, the express delivery had already traveled a mile, and people realized that this time it was the king's army who had broken through the city of another country, and it was the Annan who incited the Nong people to rebel.
Then, even though he usually acted like a modest gentleman, he couldn't restrain his excitement at this moment and couldn't help shouting along.
Then, the whole Bianliang City was boiling.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
It's strange that the last people to know the news are the ones who should know the news the most, especially this kind of good news that needs to be informed to the whole people.
Zhao Zhen is still worried every day, but he knows it is of little use. He should do whatever he needs to do these days.
At this time, I was reviewing the memorial in Yanfu Palace. I was already very irritable, but I heard that outside the palace wall, it seemed that the people in the whole city were in chaos.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...that's good news! That's good news!"
A waiter stumbled in. It felt like he had run a long way, and he was a little out of breath.
"What?"
"Your Majesty, the king's army has conquered Annan Gao State, killing five thousand and capturing ten thousand prisoners!"
"ah……"
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment. Then he stood up, made a fist with one hand, slapped the other palm repeatedly, and kept pacing on the ground.
He didn't know what to say or what to do. It seemed that he couldn't express his excitement no matter what he did.
Just pacing back and forth like this...
"The official family...the official family, the princes are here..."
"Oh, my dear companion, I should have a banquet... yes, a banquet!"
This late afternoon was unreasonable, but Zhao Zhen just felt that a banquet should be held.
It just so happened that the husband-in-law came to celebrate together.
The princes came here to celebrate and discuss what to do next, not to have a banquet.
But at this stall, everyone can understand the official’s mood, so that’s all.
well……
Since the beginning of the chaos in Guangnan, the court has clearly understood the topography of the entire Guangnan, and also knows that after passing Guangyuan and Yongping Village, there is a smooth plain.
Now, even if Wang Shi breaks through Gao State, it will still be an enclave that cannot be occupied by the imperial dynasty... It's useless, it's just a waste of money and food!
This is the consensus of the court!
The purpose of looking for an official is to come up with a decision as soon as possible, so as to provide advice to the front line...
(Based on the fact that Gaobang is useless, let’s take this opinion or not!)
There was a detailed battle report in the urgent delivery. After Yu Jing inquired from many parties, he reported the details of how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Di Qing, leading tens of thousands of soldiers, moved to Annan to fight.
At this time, the official banquet is not useless. At least everyone can discuss His Royal Highness's tactics together.
"This is Wan Yinshan's amplification!"
"No. In this tactic of His Royal Highness, it is more important to gauge people's hearts than the bravery of the soldiers."
"Annan's terrain is suitable. This is based on local conditions."
"Without the innovation of gunpowder bullets, it would not have been easy to win such a big victory!"
………
You can say whatever you want, this is after the fact, and no one can say it clearly.
Only those who truly know military affairs, or have contact with His Royal Highness, can truly appreciate its essence.
Such as Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo.
Wanyin Mountain and northern Annan are two different concepts. To achieve such a victory, any factor is indispensable. The key is that His Highness the Prince must have unconstrained ideas.
