Calm down.

Something must have gone wrong.

3,000 against 30,000 people, the former was born in the forbidden army, most of them were pampered, and did not participate in any bloody and terrifying wars, and the latter was the elite of the armies of various countries, often fighting in the north and south.

No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't win.

"His Majesty the Emperor and all the ministers are in this hall, and you can tell me how you defeated the vanguard of the coalition army with only 3,000 soldiers?"

Yingchuan, who was eager to calm down, asked.

The scout didn't know how to answer.

First, it consumed a lot of physical strength to rush here, and secondly, it was true that he had not experienced such a big scene as a court meeting, and there were big people asking themselves questions.

For a moment, he really didn't know how to answer.

A moment later, he fell unconscious.

Several guards stationed outside the temple carried the scouts away.

Yingchuan snorted coldly, and said that he was dizzy? Who believes it?

It can't be the false information that Zhang Xun asked him to send, right?

Maybe it's a possibility!

If you think about it with your brain, you can also know that 3,000 people against 30,000 people have won a big victory, which is simply impossible.

"Father, don't make a premature conclusion about the good news, you must find out the truth and the truth!"

Yingchuan made a move.

As soon as the words fell, the ministers felt incredulous.

It stands to reason that when you hear the news of the victory, you should feel rejoicing.

After all, this is the first so-called 'big victory' since Great Qin launched the Great Patriotic War!

Why did His Royal Highness the Great Prince calmly go a little too far?

Shouldn't the news of the victory be hyped up?

Could it be...

All this was done on purpose by the eldest prince?

Obviously, there has been a great victory, but if you still have to find out the truth, does Zhang Xun dare to fake the war report? This is the crime of the three tribes!

To put it seriously, this is no less than a big crime of treason, Zhang Xun went to fight against the coalition army for the sake of the prince, so it is impossible to fake the war report.

So why figure it out? Isn't that redundant?

Wait a minute...

Could it be that this is the strategy of the eldest prince to retreat into advance? The main thing is to let the ministers understand the ins and outs of this battle and increase everyone's belief in fighting against the coalition forces?

Maybe that's the case!

Good intentions!

For a while, not only the ministers had speculations, but even Emperor Yingchu of Great Qin also thought about it.

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Great Prince said is that the reason for the victory of this battle is not yet clear, and a judgment should not be made as soon as possible, and a decision should be made after General Zhang Xun returns to the court.

At present, although our Great Qin soldiers have been repeatedly defeated in the face of the iron hoof charge of the coalition army, this does not mean that we need an unconfirmed victory to inspire the people.

Weichen believes that what the Qin State needs most at the moment is a confirmed good news! ”

The voice of Gongsun Qi, the right attendant of the military department, alerted many people.

If it is too early to announce to the people that the Qin State has won a great victory, then it is later discovered that the good news is wrong or the coalition army has gathered a large number of troops to besiege the capital in one fell swoop, at that time, how to make an explanation to the people?

At that time, the people who have experienced great joy and sorrow will definitely be disappointed in the imperial court.

Yingchuan looked at Gongsun Qi and showed a relieved smile.

I thought to myself, there are still wise people in this court.

Don't they have to think about it? 3,000 against 30,000 people, and it was still a big victory? Is there really nothing greasy about this?

However, the scene of him smiling was seen by many people.

Why is the eldest prince laughing?

The meaning is clear.

According to Gongsun Qi's logic, it is not suitable to spread the news of the good news, and when the main force of the enemy army is completely defeated, or when the pace of the enemy's attack is really delayed, it is not too late to hype up this good news.

After all, the current Qin State can accept defeat, but it can't accept another big defeat after the great victory.

That would completely crush the hearts of the people.

Unless it is to the point of exhaustion, such as losing half of the country in the real sense, the common people can no longer see the hope of defeating foreign enemies, and at that time, some small victories can also be rendered as big victories.

But that's clearly not the case yet.

The Manchu civil and military forces also pinned their hopes on the two things of the main force led by Xiangbang to turn defeat into victory and move the capital south, which were used to slowly resist the invasion of the enemy country.

“......”

"I didn't expect the eldest prince to be able to think of things to such an extent, it's really impressive."

Although Gongsun Qi is a lonely minister, his words are not unreasonable, especially the meaningful smile of the eldest prince, doesn't he feel that Gongsun Qi thinks of him together?

His Royal Highness is really wise, thinking that everything he did before was just deliberate, and it was not the real him. ”

“......”

There are already more and more ministers, who can't help but praise Yingchuan in their hearts.

After all, in the past two days, he has changed too much, as if he has changed a different person.

That Gongsun Qi, in a strict sense, does not belong to one of the four major parties in the court, and he, like Xiangbang Lu Yuan, belongs to a lonely minister, and is only loyal to the emperor.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the strength to monopolize power in Xiangbang, and if he doesn't have the strength, and he doesn't integrate into the turbulent current, he can only be squeezed out.

Therefore, he, the squire of the military department, strictly speaking, his power has long been hollowed out.

The four major political factions in the DPRK and China:

First, the military.

Although this force is controlled by the military department to a certain extent, it is only political control, and the real military power is still in the hands of those in the military.

The generals who control the army are basically from a family of generals.

The old minister Meng Xi, even though he was disgusted by the various parties in the DPRK and China, the big guy still did not let this old guy go into the wilderness, and the reason was that this master of internal history stood behind the Jiangmen family - the Meng family, which is a family that holds the real power of the army.

Second, relatives and clan relatives.

After marrying into Qin, they used their influence to support many Chu nobles in Qin, and gradually formed the phenomenon of gathering relatives.

As for the clan relatives, they are the family surnamed Ying, but how to say it, the clan of the Qin State is still very strong in the local area.

Third, foreign visitors and new talents from the DPRK and China

This force was originally supported by Xiangbang Lu Yuan, but as the prime minister, both status and power belong to one person and ten thousand people, so it is impossible for him to become the leader of a party, otherwise, Emperor Yingchu will not be able to sleep at all.

Therefore, after he introduced a large number of heroes from various countries into Qin, he let them develop freely.

However, clan relatives and relatives often crowd out foreign guests, which leads to the fact that foreign officials have to huddle together to keep warm and unanimously to the outside world.

After Lu Yuan's secret help, the power of the outsiders has already occupied most of the court of the Qin State.

Fourth, the aristocratic group.

Although this force is not visible in the court, they are rich and powerful, and they can greatly influence the internal affairs of the Qin State, and many of the new talents in the court have colluded with the aristocratic group behind their backs.

The above is just a summary.

The four major factions are far from being as simple as this, and they are all connected to each other, which can be called intricate.

However, Gongsun Qi is not ashamed to be in the company of people who form a party for personal gain, so he has been in the court for many years, and he is still just a right attendant of the military department who has no real power.

Great Qin is respected by the left, and the power of his left servant is much greater than that of the right waiter.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Xun has arrived and is kneeling outside the hall."

After the chatter of the ministers gradually died down, a eunuch carefully reported to Yingchu.

The latter couldn't wait, and immediately asked Zhang Xun to enter the hall to answer.

This person was carrying a simple wooden box in his hand, with several layers of coarse cloth wrapped on the surface, and after entering the main hall, he first nodded to Yingchuan, smiled, and then, he half-knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, the last general is fortunate to not disgrace his life and repel the enemy's vanguard, and the main force of the enemy army has temporarily camped in Yucheng."

After Yingchuan saw his smile, a heart that should have been enthusiastic was already cold at the moment.

Why is the head of a mere forbidden army so bullish (broken sound)!

It really made him win!

Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun...

Wait a minute...

Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun...

Zhang Xun?!

!

No, it's an alternate world!

Could he really be the famous minister Zhang Xun in the middle of the Tang Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Yingchuan wanted to cry without tears.

"Tell me how you managed to defeat the enemy's vanguard with only 3,000 armor soldiers?"

Ying Chu hurriedly asked.

This battle was the first victory in the Great Patriotic War, although the scale was a little small, but after all, it was still victorious, and it was of great significance.

At this time, Zhang Xun looked at Yingchuan and found that the other party's expression was a little lonely, so he frowned slightly, but soon, he thought he had found the reason.

"The eldest prince has been looking at me, could it be that the blood stained by the battle armor on my body has touched His Highness's heart a little? Your Highness doesn't think I'm hurt, does you?

Or is it... Your Highness thought of the cruelty of war through the blood stains on my body? Heartache for those soldiers who died on the battlefield? Definitely! ”

Zhang Xun's eyes lit up.

Such a loyal and benevolent prince, if he becomes an emperor, he will definitely be a generation of Ming monarchs!

In contrast, when he looked at the joy on the faces of Ying Chu or the civil and military officials, he secretly shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

We, the soldiers of the bloody battlefield, will not hesitate our lives for your safety!

But when the war is won, you only pay attention to the joy after the victory, and you don't think about how miserable and miserable the soldiers who died on the battlefield were!

It's good to be a big prince!

can take into account the emotions of our pawns, and can also truly worry about the country and the people...

He thought of Yingchuan's various unfair treatment in the court, felt the accumulation in his chest, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "In fact, the reason why the last general can win is inseparable from the relationship with the eldest prince!" ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard this.

Did His Highness personally command the battlefield, even if he really knew how to train troops, it was not a direct factor affecting the victory or defeat of the war, right?

So what does this have to do with him?

Even if you want to take some credit for Your Highness, you don't need to do this, right? This is far-fetched!

Not to mention the surprise of the ministers, even Yingchuan is now in a state of bewilderment.

What is the matter with His Highness?

His Highness didn't let you win!

“c***”
