Chapter 18 Good News Spreads to Chang'an
The old lieutenant Chi Gong led tens of thousands of horses straight to Shuofang City, and only Zhao Chen and 20,000 people were left in the camp, and of course, there were 500 Xuanjia troops sent to Zhao Chen by Li Er to attack Shuofang, although there were these 500 Xuanjia troops, it would be of great help.
Zhao Chen's meaning was also willing to hand over the Xuanjia Army to Wei Chigong for dispatch, but Wei Chigong immediately refused.
Zhao Chen is now, in the eyes of the old lieutenant Chi Gong, he has become a baby egg, just a Shuofang city, and it is just a matter of not being able to attack it for the time being, if Zhao Chen has a mistake, it will be ten Shuofang cities that cannot be replaced.
When the old lieutenant Chi Gong led the soldiers away, he patted Zhao Chen's shoulder, and on his dark cheeks like iron plates, an oozing smile was revealed, his teeth were white, and Zhao Chen's scalp was numb when he saw it.
Chai Lingwu also followed the army to Shuofang City, and when he left, the expression on his face was the same as that of Wei Chigong, just revealing a mouthful of white teeth, he hugged Zhao Chen hard, turned around and quickly joined the army.
In fact, not only these two people, but also those who almost knew the inside story, when they left, they all smiled hard at Zhao Chen, but they just didn't speak.
Everyone actually knew in their hearts that Shuo Fang was finished, and from the news brought by the scouts, after the 1,000 people were put into the city, Wei Chigong slapped the table excitedly, and sentenced Shuo Fang Cheng to death.
The hard bones that were originally difficult to gnaw have now become simpler, and as long as they are used well, they may receive unexpected results.
And this is all the effect of Zhao Chen's words, just because of one sentence, the originally difficult hard bones suddenly became easier and easier. How can this not be exciting.
However, Wei Chigong had already given the order. Even if everyone knows that this is Zhao Chen's credit. I have to hold it in my heart, and I am not allowed to say a word in front of Zhao Chen, which makes Zhao Chen bear a lot of burdens.
"Stone, how many days have we been out?" Zhao Chen stood in the camp, looking at the army in the distance, suddenly sighed, and asked the stone beside him without looking back.
"Master Hou, let's leave Chang'an, it seems like it's been almost a month!" Stone heard. lowered his head and counted with his fingers for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Chen and said.
"That's fast!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he turned around and looked at the stone beside him, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Does the stone miss your mother?" ”
"Ahh Shi probably didn't expect that Zhao Chen would suddenly ask him this, after hearing this, he was slightly stunned, but he still scratched his head vigorously, and said with a little embarrassment: "... Kind of a thought! ”
"Hmm. That's it! Zhao Chen couldn't help patting the stone's head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Maybe wait a few more days, we can go back, just go back to catch up with the New Year!" ”
"Master Hou. We don't care about Shuofang's business? When the stone heard Zhao Chen's words, he looked very surprised. Looking at Zhao Chen, he couldn't help but ask.
"In three days at most, the head of Shuofang City should be replaced with the banner of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhao Chen took a breath. Thinking about the possible consequences of those thousand Liang troops who go back. Looking at the army that had long disappeared in the distance, he whispered.
Three days is not the time to siege the city, but to put pressure on Liang Shidu, to put pressure on those wavering people in the city, under huge pressure, and then transfer more than 1,000 people, Shuo Fang is just around the corner!
And just when Wei Chigong led the army to advance towards Shuofang, a fast horse, starting from the camp of the Tang army in Shuofang, galloped all the way to Chang'an.
At dusk on the fifth day, this fast horse galloped all the way into Chang'an City, and galloped towards the palace on the wide Vermilion Bird Street, shouting along the way: "Shuofang is victorious, and three thousand are killed!" ”
At this time, it was dusk, and on the streets of Chang'an, people and cars came and went, all of whom were in a hurry to rush home before the drum sounded on the street.
As soon as they heard the shouts of the urgent envoy, they all stopped, looked at their companions suspiciously, and asked, "Fang Cai said that Shuo Fang won a great victory, right?" ”
"That's right, three thousand people were killed!" When the companion next to him heard this, he shook his companion's shoulder excitedly. Without waiting for his companions to react, he immediately shouted on the street: "The Tang Dynasty is mighty!" ”
Shuo Fang has always been the henchman of the Tang Dynasty, and the Liang divisions of Shuo Fang are all in harmony with the Turks, threatening the Tang Dynasty all the time.
This kind of thing, the people naturally did not pay much attention to before, however, since last year, the Turkic 300,000 soldiers and horses suddenly came to Chang'an City, and almost broke Chang'an City.
Since then, the common people have felt threatened, and at this time, Shuo Fang's great victory, the words of three thousand, Chang'an Avenue suddenly became boiling.
"Sister, did you hear that?" At dusk, the two sisters and brothers of the Qin family had just come out of the fourth floor, and when they heard the good news from Suzaku Street, Qin Huaidao suddenly grabbed Qin Yuyan's hand excitedly, and shouted continuously: "It's Brother Xiao Chen, it must be Brother Xiao Chen!" ”
"I heard it, and I didn't hear it!" Qin Yuyan's hand was shaken vigorously by Qin Huaidao, and his arm was about to be broken, and he finally got rid of his arm, Qin Yuyan suddenly said angrily.
However, having said that, Qin Yuyan was also very happy when he heard the news. In particular, such a good news is also related to the disciple of Nadeng.
Thinking of Zhao Chen, Qin Yuyan's fair cheeks suddenly gave birth to a flush, but she hadn't forgotten that Zhao Chen was bad to her when he set off.
"Uncle Qin Ming, hurry up and go back!" I was suddenly a little worried about Zhao Chen's safety, this kind of thing naturally couldn't be said, so I had to urge Qin Ming to go back quickly, only when I returned home, I could know Zhao Chen's safety from my father.
Qin Ming agreed, and then waited for the sisters and brothers to get into the carriage, and then urged, all the way to the Qin Mansion.
"Okay, it's a good fight!" In the palace, Li Er had just finished reading Wei Chigong's secret letter, and the whole person laughed excitedly in the Manna Palace.
In just two days, with only 2,000 soldiers and horses, he forcibly ate 3,000 Turks, such a war, Li Er has not heard of it for a long time. The most important thing is that the other party is still a Turkic who has always been ruthless, how can this not make Li Er excited.
This battle was of great significance, but after he ascended the throne, he used troops against the Turks for the first time, and the result. The first battle was won, and it was a victory of 3,000 in battle!
"The concubine is here, congratulations to the second brother first!" At this time. There are not only eldest grandsons in the Ganlu Palace, but also Li Chengqian. Listening to Li Er's excited words, the eldest grandson and Li Chengqian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and congratulated Li Er one after another.
When Li Er heard the words of congratulations, he laughed excitedly, shook the secret letter in his hand, looked at the eldest grandson and said: "Be brave and resourceful, this kid is not a disciple of an immortal, and he will always give me some unexpected surprises!" ”
"yes!" When the eldest grandson heard this, he couldn't help but cover his lips and smile: "The concubine has heard about it." At the beginning, the Marquis of Chang'an was here, and he kept saying that he didn't understand the military formation! ”
"Don't say it's Guanyin, even if I heard it at the beginning, I believed it!" Li Er listened to the words of the eldest grandson, and remembered that he was here that day, Zhao Chen said that he didn't understand the affairs of the military formation, and now that he thinks about it, he really can't cry or laugh.
A man who kept saying that he didn't understand the military formation had just arrived there. Before anyone woke up, he made Simo lose 3,000 soldiers and horses, and just like that, he said that he didn't understand the military formation.
Li Er especially wanted to ask. If you say you know how to form a military formation, what will it be? Wouldn't you leave all the thousands of soldiers and horses of Simo in Shuofang?
"Cheng Qian!" Li Er thought of this. Suddenly, he stared at Li Chengqian and said, "You have always been in charge of the newspaper's affairs. This time Shuo Fang won a great victory, so I gave it a good publicity in the newspaper. I want this news for everyone in Datang to see! ”
"Erchen, let's do it!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he didn't think about it, so he agreed. Now, the newspaper is worried that there is no good material, but now it is good, with the great victory of Shuofang, the newspaper suddenly has a place to use.
As he spoke, the chamberlain came to report that the veterans and prime ministers who had just been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor had all arrived, and were waiting to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.
"Xuan!" Li Er was excited, and when he heard that the prime minister and the veterans had arrived, he immediately waved his hand and said domineeringly.
"The second brother wants to discuss business, and the concubine will retire first!" The eldest grandson has never been involved in business, and when he heard that the foreign minister was coming, he immediately bent over Li Er, took his stomach and left the hall.
The eldest grandson who came out of the Ganlu Hall saw where Xiangcheng was wandering from afar, and he looked hesitant. The eldest grandson was slightly stunned, then called Xiangcheng over and followed him to the Liangyi Palace.
"Queen Mother, did he beat him?" As soon as he entered the Liangyi Palace, the eldest grandson waved away the people around him, and Xiangcheng hesitated, looked at the eldest grandson and asked.
When the eldest grandson heard this, he nodded slightly, reached out and gently stroked the black silk at the end of Xiangcheng, and sighed: "That kid treats you like that, what do you still care about him?" ”
"I didn't care about him!" Hearing this, Xiangcheng raised his head and looked at the eldest grandson, snorted slightly, smiled at the eldest grandson, and said, "It's just a little curious!" ”
"That kid is fine!" The eldest grandson held Xiangcheng's cheeks with both hands, put his forehead against Xiangcheng's forehead, and said softly: "The queen mother knows that Xiangcheng cares about that kid, so the queen mother told Xiangcheng that the kid is fine!" ”
Xiangcheng got a satisfactory answer, and then left the Liangyi Palace. The eldest grandson looked at Xiangcheng's thin back, and couldn't help but sigh, and then, thinking of Zhao Chen, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
On a trip to Shandong, I thought that I could take back Zhao Chen's heart, but I didn't expect that in the end, Zhao Chen's heart was not returned, but Xiangcheng's heart was lost in Shandong.
Xiangcheng was originally a quiet character, but after returning from this trip to Shandong, his temperament became more and more quiet. It's like losing his soul, sometimes he will sit there all day without speaking, and the eldest grandson who sees it can't help but feel distressed for a while.
"What a bastard boy who doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings!" The eldest grandson thought that all this was related to Zhao Chen, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and mutter: "This palace doesn't believe it, the Xiangcheng of this palace is not as good as a daughter of Qin Shubao!" ”
Li Chengqian's work efficiency was extremely high, and when he came out of the Ganlu Palace, he set the manuscript in less than half an hour, and then after Li Er's approval, he immediately ordered someone to engrave it overnight, and when he waited until the next morning, he immediately put it into printing.
At noon, a newspaper with the fragrance of ink appeared on the desks of the yamen in Chang'an, with an eye-catching headline that read, Shuo Fang won a great victory, and 3,000 were killed.
Then, there was a detailed manuscript, which briefly narrated the course of the war, and it was as if people were immersed in the scene, and for a while, the names of Zhao Chen and Xue Wanche and others were being recited all over Chang'an City. (To be continued......)
