Chapter 811(1/2)
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
When the sound spread, the city guards who were originally preparing to block him immediately let him go.
This is a set rule.
If any good news from the front reaches Beijing, no one can stop it and it will be sent directly to the palace.
Hear this sound.
Pedestrians on the road also immediately gave way to let the fast horses pass.
But the sound was still heard.
"Good news?"
"Is there any good news?"
"Did I hear correctly? Finally there is good news?"
The people on the roadside were surprised and confused. There had been no good news from the beginning of the war to now, but now there is one.
"But why does it sound like a good news from King Zhenbei?"
"It sounds like it to me too!"
"Didn't something happen to King Zhenbei? Didn't something happen?"
"Quick, catch up and listen again."
The people all chased the messenger.
According to custom, good news should be shouted out to let the whole city know.
This is what this soldier did!
"Guan Ning, the king of Zhenbei, turned the tide of the war with one blow, annihilating more than 50,000 enemy troops, destroying the enemy general Ji Hu, and annihilating the Wei army governor Song Cheng..."
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
Ling Bing, who was already familiar with the content, naturally shouted out along the way.
"You heard me right, it's Guan Ning, the king of Zhenbei!"
"Not only did King Zhenbei not die in battle, he actually made great achievements!"
"Haha, I knew King Zhenbei would be fine."
"It's amazing. You can achieve such feats with only a thousand recruits!"
"The King of Zhenbei is mighty!"
People on the street heard about it and passed it on to each other, and it quickly spread and everyone was excited.
No one could have imagined that there would be such a big reversal...
And at this moment.
The court meeting is still in progress.
Duke Zheng Yi of the State of Pei raised this topic, which immediately aroused a chorus of agreement.
Obviously, this was communicated in private and an agreement was reached.
"The people in the city have a lot of complaints about the imperial court not using the Zhenbei Army. Now the war on the front line is not going well, it was at that time!"
Zheng Yi said: "I would like to recommend a person who is most suitable to lead the Zhenbei Army!"
"I wonder who Zheng Aiqing recommended?"
Emperor Long Jing asked.
Zheng Yi said: "This person is Yu Wenxiong, the son of Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu!"
"Yu Wenxiong?"
Hear this.
Everyone was startled.
Xu Guogong was inherited from the founding of Dakang, and he was also hereditary from generation to generation. His fiefdom was in the northeast, so it was adjacent to the king of Zhenbei.
The contemporary Duke of Xu, Yu Wenshu, had a son named Yu Wenxiong.
This Yu Wenxiong is also very famous in Dakang. He is twenty-seven years old. He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. He has strange powers and is extremely powerful!
He joined the army at the age of fifteen and served in the Zhenbei Army and major border guards. He has rich military experience and outstanding military exploits... He was later transferred to Shangjing and served as the commander of the city defense army.
Although he has military exploits, he is not public, especially since he entered Shangjing, he has kept a low profile.
But he is indeed quite powerful.
Zheng Yi continued: "Yu Wenxiong has the experience of serving in the Zhenbei Army and is familiar with him. He is the most suitable candidate to lead the Zhenbei Army."
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."
At this time, Cabinet Minister Li Xiu stood up.
"The Zhenbei Army has always been under the control of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and its level of sincerity is very high. Now that Guan Ning's incident has happened, there have been changes. How can they be stable?"
"Isn't this just right?"
Zheng Yi said: "I just happened to go to the battlefield to avenge Guan Ning."
"These are two different things."
"Why are they two different things?"
Zheng Yi said coldly: "How much military expenditure does the imperial court give to the Zhenbei Army every year? Use the imperial court's money to support private soldiers? The Zhenbei Palace, this is the imperial army, it should be taken back!"
"The imperial court did spend money on the military, but the Zhenbei Army has been guarding the north to resist the barbarians. So what can we say?"
Li Xiu confronted him.
"Now the Zhenbei Army is stationed in Longzhou. Without the military support of the imperial court, it will soon become a useless army. Does Mr. Li mean that he would rather be abolished than the imperial court take over? What are your intentions?"
"I'm just saying that this is wrong and can easily lead to conflicts."
"Enough!"
At this moment, Emperor Long Jing said directly: "What Pei Guogong said is absolutely true. Now that something has happened to Guan Ning and there is no successor to the Zhenbei Palace, the Zhenbei Army should be taken over by the court. There is no objection!"
Just as Lixiu was about to speak, he fell silent again.
At this point, I can't say anything anymore?
Who told Guan Ning to be gone?
Isn't this just what you want?
"Reporting to your Majesty, there is still no conclusion regarding Guan Ning's death. Is it too early to draw conclusions now?"
Lu Zhaoling stood up.
"Master Lu, this is wrong."
Duan Ang said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, so I know the details. Guan Ning is deeply trapped in the enemy's circle, and there is no possibility of survival."
"That's it."
Emperor Longjing said: "Guan Ning, the king of Zhenbei, has died on the front line, and there is no one to take over the Zhenbei army, so..."
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
At this moment, a hurried sound sounded outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Good news?"
"Is there any good news at this time?"
Everyone looked surprised and suspicious.
From time to time, the soldiers were brought in. He took a long breath, knelt down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is good news coming from the front!"
"What good news is it? Read it quickly."
Emperor Long Jing hurriedly spoke.
He also hoped that the war situation would improve.
The ministers also looked expectant.
There should be some good news soon, otherwise the only way is to seek peace.
But the defeat was too fast, and it was not easy to seek peace...
The soldier took a deep breath and read aloud: "Guan Ning, the king of Zhenbei, was ambushed by the enemy when he first entered the battlefield. However, he secretly developed an alliance with the enemy Zhou Xuan behind enemy lines and planned to burn Pingling Mountain to annihilate more than 3,000 enemies.
Later, he occupied Pingcheng, robbed the enemy of military supplies and food and gradually grew stronger... He always fought against the enemy and annihilated more than 50,000 enemy troops. The enemy general Ji Hu and the warlord Song Cheng were both killed... turned the overall situation around and made great achievements..."
