After the defeat of the elite iron cavalry and feather cavalry of the Forbidden Ansan Prefecture after the defeat of the Kyoto Canal, Yubunshu did not continue to retreat north, but set up camp north of the Kyoto Canal.

Under the personal supervision of officers at all levels, the camp was built exceptionally strongly, with deep trenches surrounding the camp, rows of sharpened horses slanting outward, and watchtowers and watchtowers also standing tall.

At that time, Yu Wenshu confidently led 40,000 elite troops to suppress the rebel army, but after only one fierce battle, the rebel army was not eliminated, but they suffered serious losses.

Now that their food routes had been cut off and their army was almost completely wiped out, they had to retreat to the relative safety of the Kyoto Canal north of the camp.

"Vice General Zhou, I order you to lead the remaining feather cavalry to Weixin City to transport grain, and within five days, you must send the military rations to the low barracks, otherwise the military law will be punished!"

"No!"

"General Zhang, you lead a thousand people to the surrounding villages to collect grain, I don't care what method you use, you must raise enough food."

"No!"

"General Yang, your task is to inform the Praetorian Guards to come here and join me!"

Now they withdrew to the north of the Kyoto Canal, and seeing that the rebels had no intention of pursuing them, they withdrew far to safety.

When the Praetorian Guard Corps did not converge, it was the weakest moment for him, and Yuwenshu was unwilling to fight the thief again, because the fiasco just now had already made him cold.

Moreover, under this fierce battle, the Praetorian Guard suffered heavy losses, and only 2,000 remnants of the soldiers who could fight remained, and their morale was low.

The Imperial counterinsurgency army has also lost its troops in a series of battles, and now it is only in its early 2,000s when it is fully fought.

Their 40,000-strong army has been reduced by more than ninety percent so far, although the remaining troops are exhausted in combat effectiveness and cannot fight again in a short time.

Countless pairs of eyes in the imperial court are staring at him, and with his current record, he will definitely become a handle for impeachment.

It is not possible for countless civil officials and important ministers of the imperial court to go into battle to kill the enemy, but the pen in their hands is sharper than a knife.

Yu Wenshu knows very well the power of these civil and official groups, once they become the target of their verbal and written criticism, then if he wants to go further, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Now he desperately needs a hearty victory to silence the mouths of those leisurely officials.

But the reality is that he has now failed miserably, and it is still a complete failure.

"Report to the imperial court, our army won a great victory, won a battle, killed more than 10,000 thieves, captured countless weapons and armor staffs, and now the rest of the thief army has been besieged by our army in the land of projectiles, but our army has also suffered a lot of losses, the sergeants are tired, and they urgently need to replenish soldiers and support the ...... of food and grass."

Although Yu Wenshu did not take advantage of the battlefield, he told lies one by one without blushing at all.

Yu Wenshu now has absolute control over the army on the front line, so he is not worried that Lan Bowen will tell the court to expose his lies, they themselves are grasshoppers on the same boat.

Lan Bowen would naturally not say anything even if he saw him defeated.

And once the news of the defeat spreads, not only he, the coach, will have to take responsibility, but the generals below will also be disappointed.

Many people have finally climbed to this position, naturally they don't want to be pushed to the end.

Therefore, when Yuwenshu opened his eyes and said nonsense, he said that the defeat was a big victory, and when he reported the victory to the imperial court, for his own interests, the generals also chose to remain silent.

In order to completely tie these young generals to their chariots, Yu Wenshu also asked for credit for them.

On Yu Wenshu's list of meritorious contributions, almost all the generals who were loyal to him were impressively listed, and they deliberately compiled a lot of credits for them.

Although these generals also knew that it was fake, and these credits were exaggerated, they had no way to refuse.

Because once they refuse to go along with the dirt, then they will become the object of rejection, and whether they can return to the royal capital alive is a question.

Once they agree to join the same stream, they can closely unite around Yuwenshu and become a strong collective, which is appreciated and respected by Yuwenshu.

At that time, if Yuwenshu is reused, they will also be able to rise.

Whether these generals want to or not, under Yuwenshu's calculations, their fate has been tied to Yuwenshu and become people in the same boat.

Soon, Yu Wenshu's report of the victory was sent to the royal capital by 800 miles of expedited service, and there were also requests for merit from the generals on the front line.

In fact, there is already a dark tide surging in the royal capital, and under the influence of the queen's family, countless people are using Yuwenshu to support the army and self-respect for the collusion of thieves, and they are also defeated and impeached Yuwenshu, trying to deprive him of his military power.

After all, for the queen's family, although the rebel armies in various places are in trouble, they will not be able to achieve any climate after all.

The empire has been established for more than 400 years, and there have been countless uprisings and uprisings during this period, but the imperial court is still the same imperial court.

Now the prince feels that the threat is not the rebel armies in various places, but Yuwenshu, who has already mastered the army of 100,000.

The most ruthless emperor family, if he wants to successfully ascend to the throne, then he must eradicate all threats, even his younger brother.

Now Yu Wenshu is commanding 100,000 troops outside, and his father-in-law, who is an important military minister in the general's mansion, speaks for him, which has already posed a serious threat to him.

Therefore, the Queen Mother has been actively active, trying to deprive Yuwenshu of the position of commander and replace it with her own people.

But the prince's luck was still a little worse after all, and when he was active inside and outside the court, the good news from the front line arrived.

"Okay, that's good! It's not my general! ”

The good news of the front line reached the palace, and the little emperor had recovered some of his spirit regardless of political affairs, and even praised Yuwen for a few words.

Knowing that the little emperor actually praised Yu Wenshu personally, the faces of the officials of the Queen Mother's family became more and more gloomy.

"Permission to play, reward the front-line soldiers."

While the little emperor was happy, he naturally waved his hand at the merit seal reported by Yu Wenshu and agreed to it all.

"Yuwen Shu has meritorious service in suppressing thieves, with a bounty of 200,000 yuan, 1,000 horses of silk, and 5,000 households in the food estate."

While rewarding the front-line soldiers, the little emperor also deliberately rewarded Yuwenshu to show his favor.

And on the same day, the little emperor deliberately issued a decree, that is, to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers to celebrate the victory on the front line.

That night, the lights in the imperial city were very lively, and the little emperor who had been ill for a long time rarely attended the banquet in person and had fun with the ministers.

None of the people celebrating the victory would have thought that Yu Wenshu would have the audacity to lie about his exploits and portray the front line of the lost soldiers as a great victory.
