Chapter 480: On Meritorious Deeds

The emperor of Annam probably never imagined that all this originally perfect plan would go wrong. Similarly, when the news came back to his ears from the border, he learned that the person who had been secretly in contact with him all this time was not a high-ranking minister of the Xia Kingdom, but the own son of the monarch of the Xia Kingdom.

Although he didn't know why the other party, as the prince of Xia Kingdom, wanted to help his enemies deal with his own country, but now that Sima Tingfei was arrested and lost the information secretly transmitted by the other party, the situation that An Nanguo had to face took a sharp turn for the worse. This reminded him of the battle with Xia Guo a few years ago.

At that time, he also listened to the words of the Hu people, and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but he didn't expect that the Hu people would defeat him and almost lose the country. Obviously, he had suffered such a big loss at that time, but a few years later, the emperor still didn't have a long memory. Therefore, the reason why Annan has become what it is today is that the emperor of Annan is very responsible.

Although the army of the Xia Kingdom is only hovering on the border now, everyone knows that this situation is only temporary. Sooner or later, the people of Xia will call, and it is estimated that it depends on the mood of the monarch of Xia Guo.

The dragon chair of the Emperor of Annan has been sitting a little unsteadily lately because of this matter. The people complained amuch, and many opinions also emerged from the ministers of the DPRK and China. If it weren't for the border pass and the Xia army, it is estimated that this emperor would be driven down from the dragon chair soon.

In fact, it is really calculated, An Nanguo was cheated by Sima Tingfei this time. The other party just saw the emperor's nature, so he only used it a little to play the soldiers of the entire Annan Kingdom. But although Sima Tingfei was arrested, the finishing things on Annanguo's side need someone to do.

The peace negotiation was urgent, but the people below began to prevaricate. In fact, the emperor didn't have to worry too much about this matter, but since Xiao Xuan also beheaded the previous envoy who sued for peace, how could others rush forward stupidly knowing that it was a death?

But if you want to say that you don't send envoys, it's tantamount to eating and waiting for death, and those powerful people in Annan still don't agree, so in the end, they chose many times in the court and chose two unlucky guys. The unlucky ones don't want to go to the Xia Kingdom, but disobeying the emperor's order is also death, and stretching out their heads and shrinking their heads is also a knife, they feel that it is better to go to the Xia Kingdom to fight.

So the mission of the Kingdom of Annam entered the territory of the Xia Kingdom. Although the monarch of Xia Guoguo had no intention of negotiating peace, he finally let these people in. However, before they arrived, the city of Zhongjing was bustling with activity.

In order to praise the performance of the Xia soldiers in Shuzhou this time, the monarch decided to reward meritorious deeds. The delay for so many days was also because he was thinking about how to praise these soldiers.

Leave aside the others, just look at the ones who performed the most prominently on the battlefield, and those who were named by the monarch. In particular, the team led by Zhao Hui went deep into the enemy's hinterland to steal key information, laying the foundation for the victory of this war. So almost all the people in Zhao Hui's team won a lot of rewards.

As for Zhao Hui himself, he was originally a loyal general, and now the monarch directly made him the general of Zhenyuan. As for Xiao Xuanyi, he was already the head of the military generals of the Xia State before, and now the monarch has promoted him to a grade, from the general of Dingyuan to the general of the Zhenguo. For a time, no one in Zhongjing City praised the loyalty of the master and apprentice.
