Chapter Ninety-Nine: Good News Arrives
(If it's okay, then collect and recommend it)
Fast horses gallop from the post road, which is called "Pegasus Emergency". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This is the originality of the Great Shun Dynasty, and the Tanma that sent the war report was called "Pegasus Urgent". If it is the Ming Dynasty in the official history, it will be called "Meteor Reporting Horse", and the Song Dynasty is also used as "Exploring Horses", which is no different from ordinary scouts.
Thousands of miles of border passes spread an emergency report, and a ride into the capital.
Pegasus urgently changed horses all the way without changing people, and hid the sealed and painted wooden box containing the battle report. Pegasus rushed from the post road, with the word "newspaper" behind him, no matter who he was, he needed to retreat. If there is an obstacle and you are hit and killed, you can only say that you are unlucky. The military situation is urgent, how can it be delayed for a moment?
As a result, the people of Chang'an City consciously gave up a road. In these years, there are three types of people who are not very reasonable, one is the inspector who is too ruthless to the officials, the other is the inner servant who reads the holy decree, and the other is the Pegasus urgent report that spreads the military information like this. Being targeted by these three types of people, suing you for an obstacle, you have no place to cry. Of course, the supervisor Lu Chengqi stared very closely, if such a thing happened to the inspectors treating the people, the first thing Lu Chengqi would not spare was those inspectors, and at the same time he would scold fiercely in his heart: "You bastards, I can't control the city management in the future, and I can't cure you guys?" ”
Pegasus hurriedly reported into the Xuanwu Gate of Chang'an City, and after passing through the streets and alleys, he galloped to the Xuande Gate by taking a shortcut. The guards on the upper floor of the palace had already seen the Pegasus emergency from a distance, and they did not stop him, allowing him to rush all the way into the palace. From the Xuande Gate into the Daqing Gate, all the way to the gallop to the vertical arch hall before stopping the horse.
Only Pegasus Express has this privilege, otherwise it is a founding feat, and I don't see anyone who can run a horse in the palace.
Lu Chengqi was wearing red at the moment to the cabinet presenting the folds, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves of "click, click", and before he could react to what was going on, he saw a border army that looked like a horse and broke into the vertical arch hall. If it weren't for Lu Chengqi's nerves, he would have jumped up from the dragon chair at this moment and shouted "escort".
Lu Chengqi, who was shocked into a cold sweat, didn't hear the military-looking Tanma over there say, "Your Majesty, report urgently at the border gate!" ”
Lu Chengqi then remembered that the heaviest military report of the Great Shun Dynasty, the Pegasus emergency report did not need to be reported, and it could be presented directly to the saint. Lu Chengqi asked the chamberlain to bring over the wooden box sealed with fire paint, and after the chamberlain picked up the fire paint, he respectfully took out an urgent report from the wooden box wrapped in brocade and handed it to Lu Chengqi.
Lu Chengqi couldn't wait to take it apart and take a look, and when he saw the two big words on it, "great victory", he was already determined in his heart. In the past 20 days, Lu Chengqi has not known the taste, isn't it because of the Khitan offense? At this moment, the border pass emergency report of the great victory, Lu Chengqi immediately "Longyan Dayue", and said: "Good, good, good!" The three armies have played the prestige of my Dashun, and I want to reward all the soldiers and announce it to the world! Looking at the pegasus rush with a dusty face and an unusually rough skin blown by the wind and sand, Lu Chengqi didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say: "You go to the inner library to receive ten silver rewards, which is considered some of my thoughts......"
The Pegasus was in a hurry to report the great joy and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward!" With that, he turned and walked out of the hall of the arch.
Lu Chengqi put the wooden box next to him and was distracted for a while. I saw that the urgent report over there read, "The forbidden army broke through the Khitan camp at night, attacked the Youzhou border army, beheaded more than 8,000 people, and captured more than 16,000 people......"
This is a great victory that has never been seen since Wenzong! How can this make Lu Chengqi not excited? Before the forbidden army set out, he was still very worried. Although the forbidden army is armed to the teeth, some of the heavy infantry even have iron covers on their helmets! Not to mention the powerful Divine Arm Crossbow and Hongxiang-style rifle, those are all weapons of great destruction. But no matter how powerful the weapon is, it depends on the person who uses it. Lu Chengqi actually didn't have much hope for these forbidden troops who had never been on the battlefield, but he didn't expect Wang Shao to give him a big surprise.
He immediately moved his mouth and asked Xiao Huangmen to record the content of the holy decree: "The system said: The border pass is a great victory, and the forbidden army cooperates with the border army to annihilate the enemy and capture more than 10,000 Khitan soldiers, which is really the biggest victory since Wenzong." This battle is the life of the three armies, and the soldiers are bloody, and the iron-blooded military style of Dashun is gratifying. I will not hesitate to reward, those who have military merits will be promoted to the next level, and the rest will be rewarded with one month's salary. At the same time, it is announced to the world that those who offend my heavenly power will be punished even if they are far away! April 29 of the third year of Hongxiang. ”
After the promulgation of the holy decree, the "Dashun Minbao" also excerpted this holy decree for the first time and put it on the front page. As soon as this news came out, the whole country was shocked.
For many years, the Han people of Dashun have been ravaged under the iron horses of the nomads; For many years, the Dashun army could not raise its head in front of the Khitan cavalry; For many years, the Han people of Dashun seem to have decided that Dashun just can't beat the Khitans...... But at this moment, I finally raised my eyebrows!
For a while, the firecrackers in Chang'an City were out of stock, and the endless sound of firecrackers seemed to be trying their best to vent the stuffiness that had accumulated for a hundred years. When some veterans heard the good news, they shed tears of heroes.
The Great Shun Dynasty, whether you know it or not, whether you are high or low, you are in ecstasy at the moment. Even the officials who were miserably rectified by Lu Chengqi sincerely hoped for the first time that such days would last a little longer. The whole country is boiling, which can be used to describe the current grand situation in the territory of the Great Shun Dynasty.
Unlike the Great Shun Dynasty, the territory of Liao is gloomy. Hearing that Yelu Chongyuan was defeated and even his own son was taken captive by Dashun, Yelu Hongji was furious and dismissed several unfavorable officials in a row.
At this moment, no one dared to touch Yelu Hongji's moldy head, and even Yelu Yixin, who had always been favored, was severely reprimanded, thinking that when Yelu Chongyuan asked to go on the expedition, he did not try his best to stop it, so that he lost the Khitan people's psychological advantage over Dashun for a hundred years.
Yelu Hongji almost wanted to drive in person in a fit of rage. However, under the strong persuasion of Yelu Yixin, Xiao Ara, the king of Xiping County, Xiao Xulie, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, and Yelu Yange, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, Yelu Hongji was able to dissipate his anger.
But after this battle, the Liao State faintly had a layer of vigilance against Dashun, thinking that Dashun was just a two-legged sheep, who knew that it was a dog that did not bark, and when it bit people, even the belt meat was torn off. Yelu Hongji felt a faint pain in his heart, and nearly 30,000 elite soldiers of the Liao State were killed, captured, or lost...... What made him even more distressed was that nearly 100,000 horses were frightened, and although he tried his best to collect nearly 10,000 horses, more than 90,000 horses were still missing.
The population of the Khitan is not comparable to that of the Han people, and each of their clans is extremely precious, not to mention the loss of 30,000 people at once. The loss of more than 30,000 young people directly hurt the vitality of the Liao State, and even if Yelu Hongji wanted to retaliate, he had to weigh it himself. The whole people of Liao are soldiers, and even now there are more than 600,000 troops, but if they have to be deployed in the northwest, north and northeast, the troops are stretched. If you want to avenge an arrow, it will take time to transfer troops, and the grain and grass also need to be prepared, Yelu Hongji gave up angrily and scolded Yelu Chongyuan for being a fool, not only ruining his family business, but also dying so many people.
In fact, the most depressed is Goryeo, they have just changed the suzerainty, thinking that this time they can sit back and relax, but unexpectedly the news of the defeat of the Liao State came, the king of Goryeo Wang Hui was stunned all of a sudden, and after coming to his senses, he hurriedly convened the ministers and held a secret meeting.
At this time, Cui Jie'an, who was sent to Liao, had not yet returned to Goryeo, and was still on the way, and Wang Hui could not trust many ministers, and he could count them with one hand.
