"Good news! Good news!"

Outside the palace, a scout came in shouting excitedly.

The brush in Wang Rong's hand froze on the paper and raised his head. Dozens of people in the signing room turned their heads to look at the door together, and their movements were simply uniform. Flickering lights, dozens of pairs of eyes sparkling in the bright light.

Not long after, a herald with a triangular red flag on his back was put straight into the signing room, because it was good news.

The herald knelt on one knee, picked up the bloodstained proclamation in both hands, and shouted, "The Second Army has won a great victory on the Southern Front!"

Wang Xu hurriedly walked down to take the report, and Wang Wei asked, "What is the result of the battle?"

The herald said: "Surround and destroy the Jing army with 30,000 elite cavalry, and capture the commander of the Jing army, Ling Huyi!"

"Wow!"

In the signing room, everyone suddenly became excited, and even the heralds and guards lined up outside were noisy. Some widened their eyes and clenched their fists, while others threw their heads up and laughed wantonly.

Zhang Yunshu looked back left and right, and said loudly: "The Holy Lord led his troops to sweep the world, and the whole world is not the king's land!"

All the civil officials and military generals followed and shouted in unison, "All over the world! It's not the king's land! It's not royal land!"

A large crowd stood up and knelt down, prostrating themselves and shouting, "Long live my emperor! Banzai! Hooray!"

Under the lights of the night, Wang Rong's face was flushed, although he did not cheer like everyone, but his excited expression could not be concealed. It goes without saying what this battle means.

Happiness came too suddenly, Wang Rong only felt that the blood in his body was hotter than usual, but he felt a little trance in the slightly dim light. It may be that the pressure was too much before, and at this time, I suddenly relaxed, and my brain felt dizzy.

Indeed, this battle was just an accident, and it was not at all expected by the grand strategy. Although the outcome should be the same in the expected course of events, there is no doubt that this battle has greatly reduced the entire torment of the war.

Wang Rong raised his head and let out a long breath. Stretching out his hand and rubbing it on his head a few times, he unfolded the newspaper in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Wang Xu after confirmation, and said, "Show it to the ministers, you should get up and speak."

There was a lot of discussion in the room, and people were still in a happy and excited mood while reading the newspaper.

Wang Rong turned his head and looked at the night sky outside the carved window, the weather was so good tonight, and the stars in the sky were very gorgeous. In the beautiful night, he noticed a bright light dragging his tail across the sky, which was a meteor. It seems that the wish in the dark has been fulfilled, and it is as if an important figure in the legend has fallen, embodied in the celestial phenomena. Ling Huyi is known as the first tiger general in Jing Kingdom, and he can be regarded as a character.

Wang Rong was refreshed at the moment.

This signing room is very simple, and the pomp is not big enough to reflect the important atmosphere at this moment, but everything that happens here will be spread all over the world, because the stars in the sky are watching everything on the earth.

Someone prayed and said, "Ling Huyi and his subordinates are extremely evil, we can cut off the head of the Jing army and build a Jingguan in Liang County."

Immediately there will be those who are in favor, and it is the way of the sages to repay grievances with straightforwardness, blood for blood, and righteous revenge.

Zhang Yunshu behaved calmer than the other ministers, and said calmly: "The ministers thought that it was better to throw the heads of the Jing army into Luoyang City and scare them, continue to open a gap in the east of the city, and take Luoyang as soon as possible. As for Liang County, you can ask someone to build a kneeling statue wearing a flail in the city to insult the fox."

After hearing this, Wang Rong felt that the method was very good, and immediately said, "According to Zhang Sima's performance, you will arrange this matter."

"Your Ministers obey."

The next morning, it was sunny again, but the smoke billowed from the battlefield, and there was a solemn atmosphere.

Many people were carrying headless corpses into the pits, and in the dirt pits in the four corners, the bones of the corpses were burned with firewood and tung oil, and black smoke filled the air. There was a foul smell in the air, the smell of burnt flesh, fish, and all sorts of mixed stenchs.

The Tang sergeants and the people were mixed together, and they were driving the car on the battlefield and slowly walking and stopping. The sergeants were slashing their heads on the ground with knives for chopping wood, the people and the duffers were picking up weapons and arrows on the ground, and some were picking up the armor on the corpses and searching the contents of the corpses.

Truckloads of soldiers' heads were taken away and sprinkled with lime.

On the battlefield, Yin He and other generals rode horses to watch their exploits. This miserable situation was a tragic scene for the Jing army, but for the Tang army, it was like a record of showing off its might.

The two countries have been hostile for many years since the time of Yongguo, and there are too many blood feuds, and at this time, the soldiers have no mercy, but feel happy with such a bloody scene.

However, everyone was really tired from the battle yesterday, and after a fight, the Tang army also suffered a lot of casualties, and everyone was tired, and few people spoke.

Chu Luxu took out a piece of wheat cake from the bag, and while looking at the battlefield, he took a bite and chewed it. Ulo suddenly turned his head and looked at him with strange eyes, as if to say, "You still eat this smell?"

The Tang army outside the city was still besieging the city, but there was no siege early this morning, and the city seemed to be dead silent.

Zhang Liang sat on the chair of the Henan County Shoufu, looking sluggish, and didn't say a word all morning.

Instead, Li De scolded below: "Waste! Ling Huyi is a waste, and it is not a pity to die, but it is a pity that the Jing Kingdom Elite Cavalry who reinforced us is a pity."

Another general said dejectedly, "It's unbelievable how Ling Huyi fought like this!"

At this moment, Pang Xun asked cautiously, "Will Jing Guo still send reinforcements?"

Zhang Liang's originally motionless head immediately turned, and he turned his head to look at Pang Xun, this sentence is the key.

Luoyang is very important, but are Yu and Jing willing to spend all their national strength here? Even if the emperor is willing, can he mobilize the army again in such a situation? What's more, if you really want to be stalked and consumed here, it is still difficult to say how it will end.

Today's truce of the Tang army made Zhang Liang feel that in this dead and silent atmosphere, Luoyang was already a dead city.

Pang Xun carefully reminded again: "If there are no reinforcements, I am afraid that Luoyang will not be able to hold it, and it will be a matter of time before it is lost."

The capital of Jingguo is in Linxiang, and the news that Huyi was defeated in Luoyang and the whole army was wiped out came like a thunderbolt from the sky!

There happened to be a torrential rain in Linxiang, and the wind and rain raged the entire city. Chu Anzhou felt that the palace city was in turmoil and was about to overturn.

This is not cowardice, Chu Anzhou really felt the danger, but it was not the wind and rain that overthrew the imperial power, but the people.

"Linghu Yi." Chu Anzhou's hands hidden in his robe were trembling, "I have failed my high hopes!"

The attendants around him, and the ministers below, all bent down and stood there in fear.

Although Jing Guo claims to have a million heroes, it is not very easy to bear the loss of 30,000 elites at once. If it were a period of strength and stability, this kind of loss could barely be carried out, but the current situation is different, which is a heavy blow to Chu Anzhou's throne.

Chu Anzhou's emotions towards Ling Huyi are difficult to describe, there is extreme anger, gritted teeth, and regret. In any case, Ling Huyi was a more trusted and capable general around him, and now that it was damaged, Chu Anzhou felt that his strength had been greatly weakened.

"Yang ......" Yin Xing took half a step forward, and suddenly stopped again. Everyone fell into a mood of frustration and failure, but Yin Xing came back to his senses quickly, and immediately thought of the most critical place at this time, which was still Luoyang.

Chu Anzhou glanced at Yin Xing quietly, then looked away, pretending not to hear.

At this moment, Cheng Jun said coldly: "Ling Hu Yi was rash and frivolous and derelict in his duties, causing our Jing army to suffer heavy losses and fall into a disadvantageous situation. His death was not enough to atone for his sins. The blame lies entirely on Ling Hu Yi alone, and the minister will say that Ling Hu Yi's entire family will be killed to offset his great crime."

Chu Anzhou still didn't say a word, no matter how hateful Ling Huyi was, he still remembered his loyalty in his heart, and he was not willing to do so in private. But Cheng Jun's meaning is very ingenious, this is to put all the blame on Ling Huyi, and now, it is good for everyone to do so.

However, what about Luoyang?

Linghu Yi was defeated, if it was Luoyang......

There are more than 10,000 cavalry of the Yu army in the city, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 infantry of the Yu army left before and after, plus the noble families and slaves in the city of Luoyang, there are also tens of thousands of people. whole

All of them were thrown away, enough for the Emperor of Yu to drink a pot.

But Chu Anzhou didn't have the heart to gloat, and Tang Guo got Henan County, which was like hanging a sharp sword over Jing Guo's head. And Ling Huyi's defeat, let Chu Anzhou, the emperor of Jing State, continue to lose Jing Guo's family wealth, how can he still order the ministers?

And Luoyang didn't seem to be able to solve the situation, Chu Anzhou was in a dilemma, and felt that the road seemed to be exhausted.

Chu Anzhou didn't dare to directly say that he wanted to give up Luoyang, and no one in the entire Linxiang dared to say this. However, it became impossible to reinforce Zhang Liang and continue to go north to Luoyang to launch a national war.

Then the only way to do this is to push out Zhang Liang, the Henan county guard of Yu State, and then put all the blame for the loss of Yuyang on Zhang Liang. Whether it's useful or not, I'm afraid it's the only way to do it at this time.

Sure enough, someone cautiously spoke: "Ling Huyi was defeated in Luoyang, and Zhang Liang has no reinforcements for the time being, seeing this situation, can he still hold the city?"

A minister said, "Send reinforcements north again to rescue Zhang Liang?"

There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone fell silent.

Yin Xing bowed silently: "Your Majesty, my Dajing was originally scheduled to go north after the winter; Linghu Yibu and Zhang Liang of Yuguo stabilized Luoyang City first. Now that Linghu Yi has been defeated, the only way to summon the Emperor of Yu is to order Zhang Liang to take up the heavy responsibility alone and defend Luoyang until winter."

This plan was immediately supported by many people, anyway, no one wanted to go north again, and it would be delayed until winter. Because there is no solution.

Chu Anzhou also understood in his heart that he was very skeptical that Zhang Liang's single-wood support could last for a few months?

He opened his mouth, sighed out, and swallowed it alive.

The wind howled outside the palace, creaking through the cracks in the nailed planks. Chu Anzhou seemed to have ten thousand horses galloping in his heart, what he had been worried about was the turmoil in the huge Jing Kingdom, and he really didn't expect that he would be planted in the hands of Wang Rong, the emperor of the Tang Kingdom.

Who would have imagined that the Tang Army would actually be the deadliest threat? Wang Rong is a crazy beast, he wants not only Luoyang, but also the life of Yuguo!
