"Great victory! Great victory! ”

There was a shout from outside the palace, and the surrounding guards, internal officials, and palace maids were all alarmed.

I saw a young soldier wearing red fish-scale armor holding a document high, running all the way from the noon gate to the depths of the palace, shouting as he ran: "Great victory!" Huangzhou victory! ”

"Huangzhou victory? Is this a victory? ”

"Impossible! Just now, the DPRK and China were still discussing whether to send troops after the seizure of Ji County, why did the good news come so quickly? ”

"You stupid! Huangzhou is so far away from us, this big victory must have happened a few days ago. ”

……

The guards and maids in the palace talked a lot.

The young soldier ran all the way to the front of the Wude Palace, and an internal officer immediately stopped him.

He hurriedly handed the good news document in his hand to the internal official, and panted and said: "Huangzhou victory!" The defenders of Huangzhou regained Shanyang and Lingwu counties overnight. ”

When the internal official heard this, his little eyes suddenly glowed, and he exclaimed, "This ...... What a victory! ”

Then he hurriedly ran to the Taihe Hall with the good news papers, and shouted happily in his mouth: "King, Huangzhou is a great victory!" Huangzhou victory! ”

Xu Chang and Cheng Zhijin in the hall all walked out after hearing the report.

Cheng Zhijin's eyes were quick, he snatched the report documents, and walked towards the hall while reading.

When Zhou Zhaowu approached, the content of the document happened to be almost read.

He handed the document to Zhou Zhaowu, and cried with joy: "King, five days ago, the general Wang Cheng attacked Liuzhou, Zhangzhou, and Dizhou overnight, and attacked Lingzhou with Shi Baozheng, and now these four states are in the hands of my Great Zhou." ”

"What? The land of the four states has already belonged to my Great Zhou? Zhou Zhaowu's face was shocked.

Seeing Cheng Zhijin nodded, he hurriedly opened the list of documents, and read while reading: "The general Wang Cheng attacked Liuzhou on the night of the ninth day, and raided Zhangzhou overnight, plotted against Li Lin, the defender of Zhangzhou, and broke Dizhou again at dawn on the 10th. On the same day, he besieged Lingzhou with his ministers and defeated the 30,000 defenders of Lingzhou in one fell swoop......"

Reading this, Zhou Zhaowu's hands trembled, looked up at Cheng Zhijin and said, "Lianke Sanzhou in one day, how did this Wang Cheng do it?" ”

"Haha! No matter how he did it, in short, Shanyang County and Lingwu County are now back in our hands. Since then, the disadvantage of our army in the west has been completely lifted. Cheng Zhijin said with a smile.

"Not bad!"

Zhou Zhaowu nodded, and said sonorously: "From now on, the offense and defense have changed shape, Kou can go, and I can go!" ”

"More than that, the good news also said that Li Yuanqing, the general of the Xiao cavalry, led his army to attack Dizhou and rushed to the aid of Li Yuanxu, but he was not only repulsed, but also lost tens of thousands of cavalry." Cheng Zhijin said.

Xu Chang on the side was itchy when he heard it, and he didn't care about any etiquette in front of the king, so he grabbed the document of the victory, hurriedly skipped what he just mentioned, and turned to the last few pages of the document.

While looking at it, he said: "King, the document also said that Li Yuanxu was unwilling to be defeated, and personally led 3,000 cavalry into the southwest county, and the two counties of Nanli and Xiqi were slaughtered. ”

Suddenly, his heart tightened, and he looked up at Zhou Zhaowu.

The smile on Zhou Zhaowu's face had faded, and his eyes motioned for him to continue.

Xu Chang hurriedly read: "After breaking the capture of the general Wang Cheng rushed back to the southwest county for several days, pursued and killed all the way, first destroyed the 500 Black Eagle Army, and then set up an ambush outside the Nanli Mountain, and completely annihilated the 3,000 cavalry under Li Yuanxu. Li Yuanxu knew that he was unable to escape, exposed his true yuan, and died with Wang Cheng. ”

"So, Li Yuanxu is dead?" Zhou Zhaowu's smile regained on his face.

Xu Chang nodded and said, "Great King, the general Wang Cheng is ......."

Zhou Zhaowu suddenly remembered when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Come on, how is Wang Cheng?" ”

Xuchang said: "Li Yuanxu dragged General Wang to die together, General Wang was seriously injured and is still bedridden. ”

Zhou Zhaowu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Wang Cheng was not dead, and said, "It's good to be alive!" Immediately send an order to let Wang Cheng escort him back to Beijing, there is a widow hospital in Beijing, and he will definitely be cured! ”

"However, our army has only recovered Shanyang and Lingwu counties, if the western army does not have Wang Cheng in charge, the Xia people will attack ...... again" Xu Chang looked worried.

"It doesn't matter! Killed a Li Yuanxu and lost so many people, if Li Yuanjie still doesn't know how to converge, the widow doesn't mind hunting the Xia royal capital with Li Yuanjie! ”

Zhou Zhaowu's face was cold, and he continued: "Besides, Huangzhou is guarded by Bao, and nothing will happen for a while." ”

"Your Majesty, although many people were killed and injured in the Southwest County this time, this battle was an indisputable victory. Not only did they recover the land of the two counties, but the Xia people lost their troops and generals, and the hussar general Li Yuanxu was killed, which can be described as the biggest victory in the history of our dynasty. Cheng Zhijin said.

Xu Chang nodded and said, "Cheng Xiang is right!" My Great Zhou Dynasty began to divide since the first dynasty of King Huan, repeatedly defeated, and lost nearly half of the country's land, until our dynasty finally recovered the lost territory in the hands of the king. In the past, Ninghou recovered Dongshan and Donghai two counties, and now there is Wang Cheng and three states in one day, and my big Zhou will repeat the glory of the past in the hands of the king! ”

Then, he bowed heavily to Zhou Zhaowu: "Congratulations to the king!" ”

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijin also hurriedly followed: "Congratulations to the king!" Long live the king! ”

Zhou Zhaowu, who originally had a cold face, showed joy, even he enjoyed the praise of the people below, no one wanted to listen to the cynicism of others, let alone the king of a country.

"Get up!"

After Zhou Zhaowu let the two of them get up, he continued: "Xu Aiqing, you immediately draft an edict for the widow, and seal Shi Baozheng as the Marquis of Longxiang and Li Lin as the Marquis of Guannei." Like the good news, go to the military post and strive to send it to Huangzhou within five days. ”

"Command!"

Xu Chang responded, but then raised a doubt: "King, Bao Zheng and Li Lin have been rewarded, how can the first meritorious general of this battle be rewarded?" ”

"Isn't he bedridden? After he came to Beijing, he would have his own reward. Zhou Zhao martial arts.

Xu Chang didn't say anything more, and then discussed with Zhou Zhaowu and Cheng Zhijin about the merits of the rest of the Western Army.

The discussion took about half an hour, and the three of them had dry mouths one by one.

The news of Huangzhou's victory also spread throughout the palace and beyond, and both the officials in the palace and the people outside the palace spontaneously celebrated.

The cheers resounded in the sky, and the three monarchs and ministers were not in the mood to continue their deliberations, so they walked out of the hall together.

Zhou Zhaowu looked at the cheering soldiers in the audience and sighed: "In the palace, for a moment, the world has changed greatly. ”

"Yes! The ministers were still worried about the situation in the west just now, but in the blink of an eye, the good news had reached Kyoto, and now it was the Xia King who was worried. Cheng Zhijin echoed.

Xu Chang said with a smile: "Now that the initiative of the war is firmly in the hands of my Great Zhou, that Xia King may not have the heart to sleep anymore." ”

"The widow feels that he is suddenly bored, this fist has not yet been clenched, and the enemy himself has broken an arm first, how can this battle be fought?" Zhou Zhaowu looked regretful.

"O king! If you let that Xia King hear this, he will definitely vomit blood! ”

"Is it just vomiting blood? The old minister estimated that the Xia King's eyes had become capable of killing! ”

"Hahahaha......"
