Chapter 1108 The Blame Man Who Can Be Retired from the Army!
"Good news! Jiangbei good news! The Northern Expeditionary Army won a great victory, killed 3,000 enemies, and is about to advance to the border! ”
The three heralds rode fast horses, held the military flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and ran to the gate of the city on the official road, shouting three times before running into the city.
The city gate was quiet for a long time, and then it suddenly exploded.
"The Northern Expeditionary Army has won a great victory!"
"We've won!"
"Have you been killed?"
"Woo, are you going to beat the barbarians!"
"Dad, you have a spirit in the sky, do you hear, the Northern Expeditionary Army has avenged you! Woo, my son is incompetent, my son is sorry for you! ”
Whether rich or poor, whether sitting in a carriage or carrying a burden on the road, everyone is thunderous.
Some jumped and shouted with joy, and some knelt on the ground and wept.
Hatred is never forgotten over time.
At the beginning, the barbarians suddenly broke the gate and moved the capital in a hurry, and few relatives died on the road.
The word barbarian was chewed and swallowed by many people in the silent night!
Now, it's about to take complete revenge!
"Woo, I'm going to set up a shrine for Hou Ye! I want to kowtow to Hou Ye every day! ”
"Hou Ye is mighty! Hou Ye is mighty! ”
"The Northern Expeditionary Army is mighty!"
In fact, whether it is the crown prince or the concubine, the happier ones are the powerful of the family.
For the people, it doesn't matter who sits in the world, who can let them farm with peace of mind, let them be fed and clothed, they will support whom.
Therefore, the news of the great victory made them even more happy!
The heralds ran all the way into the city, cheering everywhere and running to tell each other everywhere.
Until the palace gate, a little eunuch flew in to pray.
The three heralds were given their horses and long knives, and followed the guards as they walked slowly.
In the imperial study, the emperor was talking to the crown prince, as well as several important ministers such as the Ministry of Rites, discussing the selection of concubines tomorrow.
Several important ministers have girls in their families who want to enter the palace, so they attach great importance to this matter.
At this time, they were also happy to show their faces in front of the emperor and the crown prince, and strive to build a higher ladder for their own girl.
At this time, the little eunuch rushed to report the news.
"The emperor is overjoyed! The Northern Expeditionary Army won a great victory, killed 3,000 enemies, and is about to advance to the border! ”
Everyone in the room was stunned, and no one spoke for a long time.
Because of some unspeakable thoughts, only a few people knew about the official document to the Northern Expeditionary Army to delay the decisive battle, and it was not publicized.
But several important ministers present were all insiders.
Now that he suddenly heard the good news, it was obvious that the Marquis of Xinting did not listen to the order, not only did not delay the attack, but even accelerated the decisive battle......
In this way, the good news was originally a happy event, but now it really can't be said congratulations.
Sure enough, the emperor's face was a little bad, but the prince's eyes seemed to light up for a moment.
The little eunuch who reported the news was not too clever, and thought that everyone did not hear clearly, so he said it loudly again, but was thrown out by Manager Yi with his collar.
The little eunuch was a little stunned, and thought that Mr. Yi was jealous that he had robbed the messenger of the first work, but how did he know that Mr. Yi had saved his life.
In the room, the prince had already opened his mouth, "Father, Jiangbei has won a victory, and Tianwu Heshan is about to be recovered, this is a happy event!" ”
He bit a little heavier on the word "happy event".
The emperor glanced up at several important ministers and knew that his son was reminding him.
He then endured the irritability and dissatisfaction in his heart, coughed dryly and said, "Yes, this is a happy event. ”
Several important ministers listened to the emperor's tone, and they were all secretly relieved and hurriedly agreed.
"Yes, congratulations to the emperor, the unification of the country is just around the corner."
"This is the luck of Tianwu!"
For a moment, the room was filled with praise.
Soon, three heralds arrived.
The three of them knelt on one knee, although their faces were tired and embarrassed, their backs were straight, and the perseverance in their expressions made people can't help but feel respect.
"Tell the emperor, three days ago, Hou Ye personally led the vanguard army to fight and break the barbarian occupation
The city pursued for 300 miles and killed 3,000 enemies. I'm waiting for the whip to hurry up, and I'm here to report the good news! ”
No matter what he was thinking, the emperor said with a smile at this time, "Okay, it's hard work for the soldiers of the Northern Expedition!" Go down first and rest, and then you will be rewarded. ”
No, the herald who spoke refused to obey the order and said again.
"Your Majesty, if there is an order to pass it to the Hou Ye, please leave it to me and others. We have to hurry back to Jiangbei, the battle is fierce, one more person will have one more knife to cut and kill the barbarians! ”
The emperor and several important ministers frowned when they heard this, and did not speak for a while.
The prince smiled and praised, "Well, it is precisely because the Northern Expeditionary Army is such a brave man that they can drive the barbarians out and recover the rivers and mountains!" Father, this should be rewarded! ”
His voice was high and his expression was excited, which perfectly interpreted the appearance of a hot-blooded teenager.
The emperor couldn't say anything, so he said, "Okay, you go down to eat and drink water first, and after half an hour, you can return to Jiangbei." ”
Only then did the three soldiers kowtow and retreat, and Manager Yi sent them out, and they were pulled and begged.
"Chief, can you prepare more dough for us, we can't finish it on the way, and we can give it to the brothers in the army. The military rations have not been delivered to Jiangbei for a long time, and the brothers are going to kill the barbarians with hunger. ”
"Yes, sir, we are not afraid of sinking, can you prepare more for us."
"There is no white flour cake, even the bread cake is made."
Mr. Yi was sad to hear it and hurriedly responded.
"Okay, good, a few strong men come with the old slave, you eat and drink well first, and the white flour cake will definitely be prepared for you."
With that, they finally left.
In the imperial study, the emperor's barely held up face was not good again.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said tentatively, "Master Hou is sending someone back to report the good news, or is he urging the army to eat?" ”
The secretary of the military department knows the emperor's mind best, and the official documents were sent through him, and he is already a sure backbiter.
At this time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "This year, I see that the drought has not been resolved. It's really difficult to raise food.
"I can only grieve the Hou Ye and the Northern Expeditionary Army, but fortunately, the war is going well, and I think some can be captured by the barbarians. Otherwise, Hou Ye will clearly urge for military rations! ”
Everyone nodded, and the emperor got the step.
Soon, the monarch and the ministers discussed a few words, and the holy decree of commendation was freshly released.
There are a bunch of praises, but there is no substantial reward.
The prince was on the side and didn't say a word.
If you look closely at his eyes, you will notice that there are some differences in the fundus......
The rations that should have been supplied were postponed indefinitely because of the victory.
Could it be that the Northern Expeditionary Army had to lose the battle and be killed by the barbarians to the Jinsha River before they were eligible to eat well?
Before it was dark, three heralds carried large packages on their backs and galloped out of the city gate again.
Needless to say, the people inside and outside the city gate were taken aback again, but after that, they became more and more respectful of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Without the Northern Expeditionary Army's race against time, sacrificing life and forgetting death, how could there be the good news of victory and the peace of today!
In the broken gold beach, Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen did not rest after eating, and kept drinking tea and waiting for the movement in the courtyard.
Jiayin also accompanied him, looking out the window from time to time......
