"We won!"

The gate of the Qianqing Palace, which had been closed for several days, suddenly opened, and Emperor Qinglong, dressed in a dragon robe, stood on the high steps, facing the hundreds of officials under the steps, raised his arms and raised his hands, and shouted: "We have won!" ”

Behind him, the queen mother and the eldest prince in full costume.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers fell to their knees.

Emperor Qinglong and the eldest prince are all right! In this way, who would not understand that the so-called assassination before was a game to deceive Beijin! All the turmoil, the rout, is a decoy to paralyze the enemy!

No wonder the military newspaper said "big defeat, rout", but none of them wrote the exact number of casualties!

This is fundamentally the enemy's strategy, luring the enemy to go deeper, so that he can attack him unprepared and achieve such a big victory!

"Zhongqing is flat." Emperor Qinglong couldn't hide his excitement and said, "These days, Zhongqing has worked hard...... You're all very good, and I'm very relieved. "These days, Daqing is stormy, and the activities of the Northern Jin and Western Xia are frequent, and they continue to buy off the ministers of the DPRK and China...... Thankfully, betrayals are rare.

This is very rare, and there will be time to liquidate.

Emperor Qinglong's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and said: "A few days ago, Chen Aiqing gave me a strategy, laid a trap, and wanted to strangle the Northern Jin and Western Xia coalition forces in one fell swoop for three months! ”

"In the war, what I fight for is food, what I fight for is silver, and what I fight for is the lives of my people in Daqing!"

"Grain, we have! I don't lack silver! Emperor Qinglong said in a deep voice: "But the life of every one of my people is precious!" ”

"Chen Aiqing. Chen Gong, he can't bear to let this war continue, fight for three or five years, and fight for the lives of countless Daqing people...... I can't bear it! Emperor Qinglong said: "So, I agreed to his strategy and set up an assassination bureau, a trap!" ”

“……”

"I want to drive the expedition myself! Witness the unification of the mountains and rivers with your own eyes! ”

With the power of a great victory, Emperor Qinglong's voice was impassioned, as if it had been echoing above the imperial city.

After retiring from the dynasty, whether it was an important minister who was previously eligible to participate in the plan. Or the officials who were kept in the dark. When he looked at Old Man Chen again, his eyes changed.

Such a bold plan, if he is not careful, it will be a catastrophe, how dare he mention it. And how to do it without a little accident. This monstrous achievement! One could even say. He is the commander of this war!

And just now, Emperor Qinglong actually called Chen Zefu "Duke Chen" in front of all his courtiers!

When this title comes out of the mouth of the Son of Heaven, it is not just a polite greeting as in the people! It's meant to be delivered to everyone. He wants to crown Chen Zefu as the "Duke of the Nation"!

Since ancient times, they have all been knighted for military merits. It is relatively easy to get the title of military merit.

Only those who have made great contributions to the world are eligible to be awarded knighthoods. This kind of title is difficult and difficult!

When everyone thought of this possibility, they looked at Old Man Chen's gaze, which was extremely complicated.

But if this time it is really possible to strangle the armies of the two countries in one fell swoop and unify the north and the south in one go...... With such a meritorious service, why not be knighted?

……

"General!"

"Say!"

"General, most of the enemy's defeated army has been gathered and assembled, a total of about 300,000, and it is about to retreat here!"

"Three hundred thousand! How can there be so many! Chen Houyun couldn't help but speak.

These 30,000 men were part of the group that "quietly withdrew to Beijing" as mentioned in the first war report. Of course, they did not retreat to the capital, but quietly retreated into the secluded mountains and forests and hid, leaving an empty camp and a small number of soldiers, feigning a big defeat, and deliberately letting the army that claimed to be one million but actually had six or seven hundred thousand to go south and approach the capital!

The purpose of their stay here is, of course, to take the army gathered in the place by surprise once again, and to defeat and strangle a part of it! Otherwise, if they really let them run back to Beijin piecemeal and then assemble with arms, it will be difficult to swallow them in one bite in the future!

In the previous victory, 100,000 were beheaded, and there were nearly 600,000 left!

If these people go back and guard the pass, I am afraid that this battle will not know when it will end!

But they were only 30,000. 30,000 people want to swallow 300,000 people...... Chen Houji opened his mouth, feeling a little choked and panicked.

"How's the military looking?" Qin Xu saw Chen Houji's movements out of the corner of his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, his jade face was cold, and he asked the reconnaissance captain.

"The military looks average." The scout captain replied, "The little one saw that many people had thrown away their armor and weapons. I didn't see much grain and grass either. ”

"Their food and grass were generously given to us before they were defeated." Chen Houji grinned and said, "It's only February when the night is cold, cold and hungry, it's really pitiful." ”

The place where they are ambushing now is, of course, a good place.

Northern Jin and Western Xia used this place as a rear area before, leaving food supplies that could supply about 300,000 troops for half a month, and leaving 10,000 guards behind. Before their army left, they surveyed a radius of dozens of miles, and saw no trace of the Daqing army, so they left with confidence.

But when they walked on their front feet, Qin Xu and another general surnamed Guan, a total of 60,000 horses, ran over and surrounded this large battalion, and no one was let go! After looting the grain, General Guan led his men and horses to transport most of the grain away and hide it for later use...... Their men also went to another place and set up an ambush.

"Let's go, let's see." Qin Xu said to Chen Houji.

Chen Houji nodded and stood up, patted the scout on the shoulder, and said, "Old Sun, if you work hard again, take us to have a look." "Chen Houji is now a deputy general subordinate to Qin Xu.

"It's not hard, the two generals, please come with the little one."

In the distance, you can hear the noise over there, most of which are frightened cursing and whining, restless, and unable to calm down at all. Judging by the palpable sadness and even despair, it was clear that the camp they had left behind was empty.

This is difficult for them to accept.

Many people were preparing to flee back in terror, and several general-looking men standing on a high platform were shouting to regain the morale of the army, but apparently it did not work well. Soon, the generals were furious and ordered to kill those who wanted to escape.

Blood soon began to be seen in the barracks.

"Can't give them any more time! As soon as they restore order, we, the 30,000 thousand, rush up and die! Only now! Qin Xu's complexion changed as soon as he saw him, and said, "Go back with me, pass the order, and act immediately!" ”

As long as the order is reorganized and the military order is unimpeded, these 300,000 of them will stand still together, and they will not be able to kill 30,000 people! (To be continued......)
