Wang Defa quickly trotted all the way to the front of the hall and took the good news in his hand, then ran back again and handed it to Li Kuo.
Li Kuo picked it up and looked at it, and immediately burst into laughter.
Li Kuo's laughter contained a sense of comfort, which immediately made the courtiers below look at each other.
Everyone speculated what the content of the good news was that could make His Majesty so happy.
While they were guessing, Li Kuo handed Wang Defa the good news in his hand without any intention of speaking.
Seeing this, Li Xiuzhu's father-in-law Fu Wenhan understood.
Your Majesty is looking for someone to praise you.
"Your Majesty, there was a great victory at the border, but General Luo Shicheng achieved a great victory?"
Apparently even his father-in-law didn't believe that Li Xiuzhu had the ability to lead an army.
He admitted that Li Xiuzhu's martial arts skills were great, but civil and military skills were separated from each other, and ordinary people could not teach them both.
"Luo Shicheng? What Luo Shicheng? This is the battle report of the lonely good consort."
"Defa, go and show the battle report to the prime minister."
"I just said that my good prince-in-law has the talent to manage the world, but you don't believe it."
"Look, the prince-in-law captured Juyong Pass after three days of absence. Which one of you has this ability?"
What? Take Juyongguan in three days?
For a time, the civil and military officials in the court were in a terrible state, and no one believed this result.
After a quiet breath, the next second the people in the hall were whispering and becoming chaotic.
"How is it possible? It's only been three days, how can it be possible to win Juyong Pass."
"Someone must be exaggerating."
"Master Li, please be careful. If you continue to utter such arrogant words, who would dare to lie about the military situation?"
"Yes, yes, I was rude."
If it had been like this in the past, Li Kuo would have been angry a long time ago, but now that he was happy, he didn't speak.
Wang Defa saw that His Majesty had a smile on his face, so of course he would not meddle in his own business.
Fu Wenhan looked at the battle report in his hand with shock on his face. Juyongguan was won so easily. How could it be unreal?
Like all ministers, he only thought it was a small victory at first.
It's not like they don't know the urinal nature of border generals. Winning a battle with hundreds of people can give you a lot of hype.
As the good news was passed, Li Kuo saw that everyone calmed down and then continued: "General Su has dispatched 50,000 elite troops and will set off tomorrow."
"As soon as General Su's army arrives, the battle will be settled."
At this moment, the Minister of War said: "Your Majesty, since the front line is no longer so tense, why not send 50,000 General Su to defend Tibet?"
"Tubo Chen Bing is on the way to Shushan. We must be on guard against it."
Fu Wenhan frowned when he heard this, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, things have priorities, and Shushan Road has been well defended over the years. Although we have drawn out 10,000 people now, it should not have much impact.
"
"Your Majesty only needs to issue an order to recruit troops on the spot during wartime, which is enough to cope with these few 10,000 people."
As soon as Fu Wenhan opened his mouth, people belonging to Fu Wenhan's influence immediately echoed.
The other party couldn't find any reason, so naturally they wouldn't say anything more.
"Your Majesty, the 400 miles from the border have been delivered urgently."
Li Kuo took it, took a look at it, and put it aside without saying anything.
This is the 400-mile urgent letter that Li Xiuzhu sent as soon as he arrived at Yanmen Pass. It means that he has arrived and there is no content.
However, one is 400 miles and the other is 800 miles, so the good news for the 800 miles arrived first.
At the same time, Fu Mansion and Su Mansion also received letters.
Not long after the two messengers went down, the Fu Mansion and the Su Mansion also received letters, but only one with a distance of 400 miles.
Although Li Xiuzhu was aware of the need to send letters home, it was not necessary to do so every time.
Moreover, the war was intense at that time, so writing a victory report had to be concise, let alone a letter home.
The Fu sisters were very happy after receiving the letter from home.
But I started to worry at the end.
Li Xiuzhu only wrote about his experiences and love words.
Of course, the letter to Fu Yunshuang was definitely without words of love. At most, it was just an exhortation and an indication that she was not used to her not being around.
Based on the relationship between the two of them, Fu Yunshuang's imagination would be astonishing.
The thought that brother-in-law is used to me being by his side lingers in Fu Yunshuang's mind for a long time.
But in the end, both of them were worried by the saying that war is about to start, letters from home may not be available until when, so don't read them.
Compared with the mixed joys and sorrows between the two, Su's house is shrouded in dark clouds.
Su Chengcheng frowned and shed tears as he looked at the letter in front of him.
Nong Yue was reading her letter, but before she finished reading, she heard Su Chengcheng sobbing.
Nongyue turned her head and looked around, frowning immediately.
"What's wrong?"
She didn't see anything wrong with him in the letter, but why was Cheng Cheng crying?
As soon as Nong Yue opened her mouth, Su Chengcheng threw herself into Nong Yue's arms, choked with sobs and said sadly with trembling breath: "Sister Nonyue, brother Xiuzhu doesn't want me anymore."
Nong Yue, who was about to pat Su Chengcheng on the back, froze when she heard this.
Then he gently hugged Su Chengcheng's back.
"Is it convenient for me to take a look?"
"Um!"
Su Chengcheng was still crying. Nongyue held her with one hand and picked up the letter written by Li Xiuzhu to Su Chengcheng with the other hand.
"Cheng Cheng, when you read this letter, you may not be as happy as you think."
"I don't know how to tell you for a moment. To be honest, it's very painful for me to write this, but there are some things that must be faced."
"...Because of some things, I may not be able to love you anymore, I'm sorry!"
"I'm really sorry. The reason why accidents can be called accidents is because there are some things you can't control."
"I hope you take good care of your body. Although I can no longer love you, I am still your Xiuzhu brother."
"I will still care about you and take care of you when you need me in the future."
"If you still recognize me."
"By the way, I also want to thank you for helping me take care of Nong Yue. I will bring you a gift when I get back."
"Treasure, your (cross out your) brother Li Xiuzhu (brother cross out)"
Seeing this, Nong Yue frowned.
Then I started thinking.
Although Nong Yue was born in a brothel, she was a truly talented woman and very smart. Otherwise, she would not have been able to see those people clearly when meeting guests. From everyone to the oiran, no one took advantage of her.
So after reading this letter, she was keenly aware of some information.
Something unexpected happened on the way to Yanmen Pass, and the accident must be related to Su Chengcheng, so the husband had to give up Su Chengcheng.
And from between the lines, whether it's sorry or taking care of you in the future, you can tell one thing.
My husband liked Cheng Cheng before.
Thinking of this, Nong Yue looked at Su Chengcheng and asked seriously: "This letter is a bit strange. Sister Cheng Cheng has a few words to ask you. Can you tell me?"
Su Chengcheng was startled when he heard this and raised his hazy tearful eyes.
