"Lai Da, what's going on! Are you so panicked?"

Jia Mu asked with a bit of sternness. Sanchun and Baoyu were curious and a little scared, but Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were quite curious. It was the safest place in the capital. Why was there such a loud cheer?

"Go back, go back to our ancestors. It's a big deal. The border crossing is 800 miles away. Three messengers and three red flags."

Before Lai could catch his breath, Jia Mu asked anxiously.

"What else?"

"Great victory, great victory, great victory in Pingyang County, Luo Yunhou defeated the 300,000 Jurchen Huang Jitai army."

Lai Da finally finished speaking.

"ah!"

"ah,"

Miharu screamed in surprise, and then suddenly covered his mouth.

Jia Mu was stunned there without saying anything. She had a lot on her mind. It seemed that it was time to go to the palace, but Li Wan and Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed strangely.

Only Jia Baoyu looked at the reactions of the sisters with her lips curled up and looked at the reactions of the sisters. She lowered her head and continued to eat the Xiao Long Bao in the bowl, but it was so unpalatable.

The three couriers who were still circling outside, their voices hoarse, were still shouting the good news hoarsely, running from the East City to the South City, then from the South City to the West City, and then headed towards the palace.

Just one morning, every market, every restaurant, and every teahouse in the capital was talking about the Northeast of the Dawu Empire and the Marquis of Luo Yun. If someone said they didn't know about this, everyone else would look down upon him.

Emperor Wu, who had just finished eating, stood up and patted his belly.

"Let's go, it's almost done. I'll be waiting for you in court."

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong walked particularly vigorously and quickly today, and arrived at Qianqing Palace in a short while.

Dai Quan shouted as usual;

"The Emperor has arrived."

The hall fell silent for an instant, then he knelt down and shouted;

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhou Shihong came to the throne and sat down before speaking;

"My dear friends, please stay safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone stood up, Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong said:

"Everyone, please rest for now. Someone will come later."

After finishing speaking, they stopped talking. The ministers stood there with puzzled expressions, asking each other with their eyes, and they all shook their heads slightly to express their ignorance.

Just as everyone was making wild guesses, the shouts of the Forbidden Army relaying orders came from far outside the palace;

"Tell me! 800 urgent!"

Hearing the shout, Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong opened his closed eyes directly, and a light flashed in his eyes,

"Hurry up and let the messenger enter the palace."

"Xuan, the messenger enters the palace."

"Xuan, the messenger enters the palace!"

Outside the palace, three people dismounted and waited there. After hearing the order, the three of them also hurried in nervously, holding red letters in their hands and shouting about the great victory of Pingyang.

It attracted a large number of imperial guards on both sides to look at him, and no one knew who shouted;

"A strong force will win."

In an instant, he brought together the surrounding Imperial Guards to shout together;

"A strong force will win."

The Imperial Guards outside the palace started shouting, and the relay spread all the way to the Imperial Guards inside the palace. The whole palace was drowned by the shouts of the Imperial Guards who were determined to win.

Everyone in Qianqing Palace was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Even Mr. Ge has never experienced such a situation that is somewhat out of control. This is the first time that the Forbidden Army is so excited.

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong was also extremely excited, and his military spirit was available. The Imperial Army was the foundation of the Zhou family of the Great Wu royal family, and it must be in his hands. No one could stop him. Zhou Shihong further confirmed his belief in seizing power.

The three messengers quickly arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, and the eunuch who had communicated the message shouted into the palace,

"The messenger has arrived."

"Quick announcement."

"The messenger enters the palace."

After hearing this, the three of them walked into the hall. Seeing that there were officials from the center of the imperial court on both sides of the hall, there was a large area, and none of them were lower than the fifth grade, so they each calmed down their sleepiness.

A look of exhaustion filled his face, but he still walked to the center of the hall with his head held high and knelt down;

"Long live my emperor, long live the king. The messenger reporting victory from Pingyang County has arrived here after 4 days and 4 nights. The letter is intact. Your Majesty, please read it."

Dai Quan went over and took the letter from the three people's hands. After checking it carefully, he nodded to the emperor and the ministers around him.

Zhou Shihong saw that although the three people were tired, they were exuding evil spirit and vitality, and then he realized the elite of the border army.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Ping Sheng! They are all warriors of Dawu. You have worked hard all the way."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not have to work hard in the end."

"Dai Quan, please read the three letters first. After reading them, you can read them out in the main hall."

"It's Your Majesty."

Dai Quan returned to his seat and opened the letter to verify it.

Emperor Wu then asked the three of them,

"Did you take part in the defense battle of Pingyang County?"

The leading guard of the Hou Mansion replied on behalf of the three of them;

"Back to Your Majesty, the last three of them have all participated in the bloody battle with the Jurchens."

"Okay, I ask you, how is this Jurchen? She is really so fierce!"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Jurchens are indeed fierce, especially the cavalry. They are extremely elite, but Your Majesty, the Dawu sergeants are by no means weaker than the Jurchens. No one flinched in this bloody battle. On the first day alone, our army suffered more than 50,000 casualties. How many Jurchens were killed?" The first time we stood at the top of the city, some brothers jumped into the city with the Jurchens in their arms and died."

After saying this, the three of them also had red eyes.

The surrounding ministers were also horrified. When they heard this, they knew how tragic that day was.

An official from the Ministry of Industry next to him asked innocently,

"You are already a fifth-rank official and you still want to go to the battlefield?"

Emperor Zhou Shihong happened to hear it, and Emperor Wu also smiled contemptuously, showing his ignorance.

"Three warriors, have you been on the battlefield this time?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the three of us will kill no fewer than five Jurchens."

"Do you have proof?"

The three messengers also felt angry when they heard someone questioning them. When the emperor asked for proof, the three immediately stood up and took off their shirts on the spot.

"Your Majesty, we can't prove it, but they can."

I saw that the strong bodies of the three people were covered with large and small scars, and some were still scarred. At a glance, it was obvious that they were new wounds that had not healed. The official who spoke also shrank his head in fear and stopped. speech.

"Okay, put on your clothes. Dai Quan will arrange for the three warriors to go down to rest and receive their reward. Dawu will not treat his warriors badly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will retire at the end."

After the three people left, the civil and military officials had different expressions. Wang Shuirong of Beijing stared at the three people who left for a long time. He didn't know what he was thinking. This was the first time that a civilian official saw the border troops and knew how dangerous the border was. So big.

"Dai Quan, have you checked it out? Come and read it."

"Back to Your Majesty, okay, I have just been verifying the contents of the three letters. They have similar meanings. I will read the urgent report from the Luoyun Marquis Mansion."

"Stand in the middle and read, and everyone will listen."

"It's Your Majesty."

Dai Quan took the letter and walked to the middle of the hall to read it;

"Your Majesty, God bless you. Your Majesty, Luoyunhou Zhang Jinyu, led all the soldiers and the elites of the Jurchen Huangjitai Khan tent. They fought bloody battles for five days at the foot of Pingyang County. It was very tragic. They almost lost the city on the first day. Fortunately, the emperor protected us and the Jurchens were able to escape."

The success fell short. In the next four days, the Jurchens continued to be like this. Even the cavalry dismounted to attack the city, but Pingyang continued to attack the city.

The old stronghold, the Jurchens suffered heavy casualties, and they had no choice but to retreat with less than 100,000 troops. After this battle, I took advantage of the opportunity to capture Pingyao City, but this time the defenders suffered heavy casualties, with more than 100,000 casualties. I deliberately reported the victory to the pass with great fanfare.

, in order to invigorate our military and improve our morale. I hope that your majesty will give you advice. Your Majesty, Zhang Jinyu, pays my respects."

"Your Majesty, I have finished reading the letter."
