Great victory!

A rare victory!

Dazhou, Beirong, and Xiliang gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and fought a big battle on the prairie.

This battle lasted for nearly half a month.

Marquis Lu personally supervised the battle, with Pei Meng as the vanguard, facing the North Rong cavalry.

Liu Zhao fell to the flanks of the frontier army and ambushed Xiliang halfway.

Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the fields!

The world changed color for it!

The green grassland was stained red with blood.

The balance of victory fell to Da Zhou.

With the defeat of Xiliang, Beirong had no choice but to retreat and retreat to the depths of the grassland.

Rest and recuperate, choose another day to fight again.

In a large-scale field battle, Beirong Xiliang was won, which is rare in the war history of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years.

In the past, if you defend the passes and cities, and do not surrender until reinforcements arrive, you are victorious.

Now, the army of the Great Zhou took the initiative to walk out of the pass wall and won the war.

Years of military training finally achieved brilliant results.

The Zhou army can not only fight in the field, but also win the battle.

When the news reached the capital, the whole city cheered, and every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

The refugee camp is even more rare. Thousands of fat pigs are killed, and all the refugees have a share, and everyone makes a tooth sacrifice together.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees danced and danced.

Eating fatty pork, oily, every cell in the body is in carnival excitement.

I have not known the taste of meat for several months, and I miss the delicious fat meat very much.

Although each person can only get a few slices of meat, there is also a bowl of bone soup.

Everyone has a sincere smile on their face.

The imperial army won, and the battle is almost over. If you go home at this time, you can still grab a season.

Don't think about going home yet. It's just temporarily repelling Beirong and Xiliang,

Sooner or later, these two wolf ambitions will lead their troops southward.

According to what you say, this battle can't be over?

Didn't you hear that Beirong is so poor that there is nothing to eat, if they don't plunder our Great Zhou, they will starve to death. Only by killing all Beirong people will the battle be over.

How many people are there in Beirong?

I don't know. So many tribes add up, at least there are seven or eight hundred thousand people.

More than that! In the early years, Beirong plundered hundreds of thousands of people from the border city. After so many years of reproduction, there may have been a million people. My brother-in-law's cousin's uncle was a soldier. Listen It is said that this time when Beirong went south, those who rushed to the front were those Han people who were taken captive to Beirong.

Traitor and running dog!

Never forget your ancestors!

Even the ancestors have forgotten, this kind of person deserves to die.

The refugees were outraged.

After so many years, the children of those who were taken captive have grown up. Now that Beirong has no food to eat, the first ones to kill are the old Han slaves.

Bei Rong is cruel and heartless, killing people to save food, damn it!

It's best to kill all Beirong people, including those Han people who have forgotten their ancestors.

It's not easy to kill all Beirong people.

Even if it's not easy, you have to kill it.

There's also Xiliang. It's not a thing to double-face three swords.

His Royal Highness the First Prince is mighty. I heard that with a group of frontier troops who have only practiced for more than half a year, they unexpectedly stopped 20,000 cavalry from Xiliang. They beat the shit out of Xiliang.

This time, His Highness the First Prince has contributed the most. It has been said in the newspapers that if the First Prince hadn't retreated to Xiliang in advance, once the Xiliang cavalry joined Beirong, the Northwest Army would definitely be defeated this time. The reputation of Luhou I will be ruined.

Don't listen to the nonsense in the newspapers. I don't believe it. The frontier army that has practiced for half a year can be compared to the prestigious Northwest Army. Even if Xiliang joins Beirong, the Northwest Army can still win this round.

Bragging is not a draft. No matter how powerful the Northwest Army is, it is impossible to take Xiliang and Beirong by itself. It would be good if we can preserve our strength and retreat slowly.

No matter what you say, in my eyes, the Northwest Army is the strongest, Marquis Lu mighty.

Refugees are arguing endlessly because of whose contribution is greater.

The court's attitude was very unified and silent.

Great victory, worth celebrating.

However, this great victory cannot be credited to Lu Hou, let alone help Lu Hou and his son.

The Northwest Army under the Marquis of Lu's banner is already too big to lose its tail, and it listens to the tune but not to the announcement.

Propagating Lu Hou's achievements is to make trouble for himself.

The imperial court will not do things like lifting a rock to shoot itself in the foot.

So how about promoting the merits of the First Prince Liu Zhao?

The courtiers were all silent, it depends on His Majesty's attitude.

If His Majesty has no objection, it is not a bad idea to pull His Highness the First Prince out for a wave of publicity.

Anyway, suppress the prestige of the Northwest Army.

Now there is finally an army capable of fighting, and the courtiers have finally shaken off the fear of being dominated by the Northwest Army for many years.

But looking at His Majesty's attitude, it seems that His Majesty is not very happy!

You are not happy when you win a battle, His Majesty is really hard to serve.

The courtiers secretly slandered, but no one stood up and said a fair word for Liu Zhao.

It's just that if you win a battle, you must be rewarded for your merits.

If you don't reward, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts.

The courtiers were like roundworms in Emperor Wende's stomach. Knowing that Emperor Wende was reluctant to reward the title, they offered to propose it.

It's better to follow the example of last year and reward gold and silver.

The household department was a little unhappy, but did not raise any objections.

Compared with titles, gold and silver are a one-shot deal.

However, unexpectedly, Emperor Wende did not respond.

The ministers were surprised.

Could it be that the stingy Emperor Wende was not only unwilling to reward titles, but also refused to give gold and silver?

Your Majesty, please decide how to reward meritorious ministers.

Emperor Wende left without saying a word.

Chang En sang and shouted: Retire!

Then he ran too.

The courtiers looked at each other.

The princes laughed secretly. this

It doesn't matter that Liu Zhao has made great achievements, it's not that he can't get the trust and favor of his father.

It's not as good as those brothers who stayed in the capital, not only don't have to go to the front line to live a miserable life, but they can often show their faces in front of the father.

Is Emperor Wende angry at rewarding meritorious ministers?

not quite.

When Emperor Wende returned to Xingqing Palace, anyone with eyes could tell that he was not angry.

Has the secret code arrived?

Chang En bowed and nodded, and took out a wooden box with a key on it. Take out the key and open it in front of Emperor Wende.

Emperor Wende took out the secret folder inside the wooden box.

In the end, Emperor Wende sent eunuchs to the border to supervise the army.

The secret book in his hand was written by the supervising army far away on the front line.

Opening the secret folder, Emperor Wende took a closer look.

The situation of the war is no longer just a few short sentences on the battle report.

In the secret book, it describes in detail what they have seen and heard, the contradictions between the two parties, how to reach cooperation and so on.

No matter how big or small.

Emperor Wende thought while watching.

The establishment of the Northwest Metropolitan Government is still very necessary. At least it can contain the expansion of the Northwest Army.

Your Majesty is wise.

Liu Zhao doesn't care about government affairs, but only trains soldiers and fights. It really shouldn't be.

Chang En lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, and secretly slandered in his heart: His Royal Highness the First Prince really dares to interfere in local government affairs, His Majesty should be in a hurry again.

Marquis Lu is really domineering, but his ability is beyond doubt. This time the battle plan was formulated by Marquis Lu. He has a great view of the overall situation, and he has made great contributions. However, there is nothing I can reward.

Can Your Majesty follow the previous method and reward gold and silver?

Such a great victory, just rewarding gold and silver is not enough to reward the heroes.

Your Majesty is right.

Chang En didn't dare to talk too much.

Emperor Wende walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking about this question alone.

Heroes should be rewarded, but how to reward is a great knowledge.

Lu Hou's title, at least with Emperor Wende, has reached its peak, and it is impossible for him to be promoted to Duke.

However, Pei Meng, who took the lead, should be rewarded generously.

There is also Liu Zhao, who has made such a great contribution, and will rely on him to suppress the Northwest Army in the future, so he has to be rewarded.

Emperor Wende already had an idea in his mind.

Call Lu Aiqing, I have something important to discuss with him.

Mr. Lu went to Xingqing Palace to face the saint.

The monarch and his ministers closed the door and talked for a full two hours.

No one knew exactly what was discussed.

The next day, Emperor Wende summoned all the princes and grandchildren to test and teach.

Brother Yu is very low-key, trying to be mediocre.

Emperor Wende was noncommittal about this, and did not expose him.

Instead, he scolded him with a stern face, You are young, but you have a lot of ideas. Why don't you want to study in the palace?

Brother Yu secretly slandered: He had already stated his reasons in the book, why did he suddenly ask again.

On the surface, Brother Yu still answered honestly, I would like to report to the emperor's grandfather that there are great Confucian scholars in Shanhe Academy. My grandson wants to confirm the views of the masters.

What a nonsense.

Emperor Wende's beard trembled.

Just asked casually, Who are you going to ask for confirmation?

Reporting to the emperor's grandfather, grandson intends to find Duke Sanyuan, and Mr. Sun will confirm it.

It's a good idea, but it's too self-willed and naive. You are not a gregarious person, understand?

The grandson always remembers the teachings of the emperor's grandfather.

Emperor Wende waved his hand, but didn't delve into it. Instead, continue to test the homework of the pope's descendants.

The courtiers couldn't figure out which song Emperor Wende sang.

He was not in a hurry to decide to award meritorious officials, but instead thought about studying the homework of the princes and grandchildren, and the courtiers shook their heads.

Is Your Majesty trying to escape?

Maybe it's possible.

Escape cannot solve the problem. Such a great victory, if not rewarded, will chill people's hearts.

Pray for your order, who is willing to go?

Go together, go together.

One of the things courtiers love to do most is force the palace.

If the emperor can be forced to compromise, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction will be unparalleled.

Of course, forcing the palace also has a price.

When encountering a violent emperor, maybe with a click, the head falls to the ground.

Therefore, you must pay attention to timing and strategy when forcing a palace.

Now the timing is just right, I believe those honorable generals will stand up to help.

Ask why the civil servants are so active in fighting for rewards for a group of generals, so selfless and generous?

of course not!

The fundamental purpose of the civil servants was to test Emperor Wende's bottom line.

It was about Marquis Lu, and about His Royal Highness the First Prince, both of them were hurdles that the emperor couldn't get around.

It's a great opportunity, if you don't take the opportunity to test it out, wouldn't the officialdom for so many years be in vain.

The civil servants are very thieves, and they are forced to force the palace.

Emperor Wende stayed in the middle school and did not send out.

The more excited the civil servants were, the more likely they were to drive Emperor Wende to a dead end.

Just as they were gearing up, two orders came down like two bolts from the blue, knocking the courtiers unconscious.
