Chapter 228: Added to the rank of Marquis of Yong'an
Defeated, defeated, defeated.
There was no good news, which made the emperor very unhappy.
At this moment, Li Chaoen walked in quickly, with surprise on his face, and after seeing the emperor, he clasped his head and said, "Your Majesty, a happy event, Dayuan City has won a great victory." β
The emperor's low mood just now suddenly came up, and he hurriedly asked: "Chaoen, quickly tell me what the situation is, where is the big victory." β
Li Chaoen said happily: "Your Majesty, Dayuan City has won a big victory, a few days ago, Xiao Chucai's general Anashi led 30,000 troops to besiege Dayuan City, and Dayuan City once reported this matter. β
"Yes, I remember."
"Li Jilong ordered Qin Guan to rescue Dayuan City, Qin Guan led 10,000 Xiang Army and the remaining 10,000 Xin'an Army, a total of 20,000 soldiers, to the rescue of Dayuan City, just when Dayuan City was in danger, Qin Guan led the troops to arrive, and set up a position outside Dayuan City, after Anashi knew, he led more than 20,000 cavalry, and on the plain of more than ten miles outside Dayuan City, the two armies launched a duel."
The emperor was stunned, "20,000 foot soldiers against 20,000 cavalry, how can there be a chance of victory." β
"Your Majesty, not only won, but also a big victory, Xin'an Army Li Xuan secretly reported, Qin Guan is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, wisdom is superb, use soldiers like gods, take advantage of the time and place, arrange Qimen formations, use strange soldiers, trap the Liao army to death, eliminate 20,000 cavalry of the Liao army in one fell swoop, capture 6,000, kill 10,000, capture 14,000 horses, and countless armor."
When the emperor heard this, his face was overjoyed.
"20,000 infantry to destroy 20,000 cavalry, this is a strange battle, even if it is a famous general in ancient times, few can do it."
But then he calmed down and asked, "It won't be a small victory, Li Xuan is exaggerating, I feel a little unlikely." β
Li Chaoen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Li Xuan has nothing to do with that Qin Guan, and he has no subordinates, so he shouldn't exaggerate, and the military department will also have a battle report, I believe it can be confirmed." β
The Emperor nodded, "Yes, go and ask the Ministry of War if there is a battle report from Ohara Castle." β
At this time, people in the military department were also talking about this matter.
Lin Shuquan, the secretary of the military department, received a report from his subordinates, Dayuan City was victorious, and when he heard the news of the victory, he was first happy in his heart, and now the battlefield is erosive, this is a rare victory, but when he read the battle report, he immediately felt a wave of anger in his heart.
slapped the battle report in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Thinking that Qin Guantang was born in the first place, he was so deceitful, 20,000 infantry annihilated 20,000 cavalry, and he only lost a few hundred people in battle, he thought he was a god, and he was a heavenly soldier and a general." β
"Shameless, shameless."
Just when Uncle Lin was scolding the street, a palace guard came over and asked if there was a battle report about Dayuan City, Lin Shuquan was stunned, how did the emperor know, he was still thinking about whether to press this battle report.
He is also for Qin Guan's good, a small victory, if he wants to make war achievements, it is okay to brag about some, but who believes the results of such a challenge to everyone's IQ, if he finds out in the end, he will definitely be held accountable, Qin Guan is also a person in the military after all, and he is doing this to protect him.
But now it seems that it can't be protected.
Uncle Lin thought about it for a while, and followed the guards directly to the palace, he was going to talk to His Majesty in person to see if he could redeem some.
When he arrived at the Qinan Hall of the Imperial Palace, he found that several ministers had come, and Uncle Lin hurriedly saluted, and then the emperor came out and said to everyone: "Dayuan City is victorious, do you have any news." β
Lin Shuquan stepped forward and said: "The Ministry of War received a battle report from the military Sima, Dayuan City won a great victory, and Qin Guan's 20,000 foot soldiers completely annihilated the 20,000 cavalry led by the Liao general Anashi, captured more than 6,000 prisoners, and captured more than 10,000 war horses. β
The emperor looked at Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also received a report from Duan Zhongqiu, the governor of Hexi, that the siege of Dayuan City has indeed been lifted, and the Liao soldiers outside the city have withdrawn, and Qin Guan is now leading troops to garrison outside Dayuan City." β
"Then is there any report about Qin Guan's total annihilation of the enemy." The Emperor asked.
Zeng Yu had just avoided the important and light, and now the emperor asked, so he had to say: "Duan Zhongqiu's report does mention that Qin Guan captured countless horses and armor, and handed them over to more than 6,000 Liao prisoners of war in Dayuan City. β
The Emperor nodded.
The smile on his face grew, and he said: "In this way, the victory of Dayuan City is indeed true, and I also received the secret music of the supervising army, Qin Guan led 20,000 foot soldiers, eliminated the 20,000 cavalry of Anashi, and scared away the remaining 10,000 Liao soldiers. β
"Now that the war situation in various places is in shambles, what I hear every day is only the defeat and the destruction of the city, how many people, money and food have been lost, and now I can hear a victory, I feel better."
"I remember, the last victory was also Qin Guan, right?"
Shen Zheng said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Qin Guan rescued the Xin'an Army and destroyed nearly 10,000 enemies, and His Majesty also rewarded him with the titles of Yong'an Bo and Protector General." β
When the emperor heard this, he immediately said: "Meritorious ministers, I will naturally reward you, this time Qin Guan is a rare victory, I will also reward it, and I will be crowned with a bachelor of Qin Guan Guan Wen Palace, and Qin Guan will be given the rank of general who will be in peace forever." β
Zeng Yu was stunned, the speed of Qin Guan's promotion was too fast.
He stood up directly and said: "Your Majesty, although Qin Guan has merits, but the reward should not be too generous, so that his subordinates have arrogance, Qin Guan is only nineteen years old this year, so he will be crowned a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, but I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it." β
When the emperor heard Zeng Yu's objection, he said: "If you don't reward your merits, you don't know how to reward and punish me, who is willing to do things with your heart in the future, do you think I did something wrong." β
Zeng Yu was speechless when asked.
The Emperor continued: "Summoning the news of Qin Guan's great victory to the world, and also mentioning the morale of my Great Zhao Kingdom, and telling the soldiers that as long as they kill the enemy with their hearts, I will reward them sparingly." β
The emperor's move may not be without suspicion of buying horse bones.
Qin Guan's victory spread, and the state capitals directly posted the list of 20,000 foot soldiers to write the deeds of Qin Guan's 20,000 foot soldiers and 20,000 cavalry, and wrote the emperor's reward.
Some admire, some admire, and some envy.
"The true god of martial arts is alive."
"20,000 foot soldiers against 20,000 cavalry, you can still wipe them out, even if the martial god is alive, he may not be able to do it."
"Qin Guanwen has the talent of the champion, the poetry has the wonder of Li Du, the martial arts have the power of the overlord, and the plan of Sun Wu, I am sure that this Qin Guan must be the stars descending to earth."
"There is a legend in ancient times that when the country is in danger, there will be stars to help the Holy Monarch, I think our Qin Cixian must have come to save the Great Zhao Kingdom from danger and help His Majesty today."
"I heard that Qin Guan's fiancΓ©e was almost killed by the Liao army, Qin Guan was angry, and a hundred miles turned into death, this is not Qin Guan's anger, this is the anger of the gods."
