After Bai Yutian's victory, the civil and military officials in Tailin naturally received the news.
After receiving the news, some of the ministers were happy and some were sad.
At the same time, this battle also changed their view of Bai Yutian.
Unknowingly, Bai Yutian's image has been established in their hearts, and even some ministers in the Gu family's camp have begun to secretly contact ministers who are close to Bai Yutian.
"We won a great victory in Yicheng and recaptured Xuzhou. It seems that we really underestimated Your Majesty."
In Gu Mansion, Gu Taizhong sighed heavily and said.
Although I hate to see it, it is already a fact.
The Shan Nu army, which was said to be invincible, was actually defeated by Bai Yutian.
Regardless of whether it was Bai Yutian's credit or not, it is an irrefutable fact that Bai Yutian went on a personal expedition and boosted morale.
And this credit will also be recorded on Bai Yutian.
From then on, Bai Yutian was no longer a weak and incompetent emperor, but the most outstanding one among all the previous emperors of the Zhou Dynasty.
Even Bai Yutian's prestige in the court will be greatly improved.
Gu Taizhong has sensitively felt that many people in the court have begun to move closer to Bai Yutian's faction.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the weather to change in this great Zhou Dynasty. There's nothing you can do about it. Who told you to push too hard?" Gu Taizhong clenched his fists and muttered to himself with a gloomy face.
Next to him, Gu Chengxuan stood with a serious expression and did not express any opinion.
Now, the situation facing the Gu family is indeed very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of destruction.
Moreover, Gu Chengfeng is still in prison, and it is even difficult for the Gu family to mobilize the troops of the Shenji Battalion.
It was obvious that Gu Taizhong had the idea of going all-in.
Except for Gu Taizhong, most people in the court reacted with great joy, not only because Xuzhou was recaptured, but also because the victory of the Great Zhou Dynasty completely broke the myth of Shan Nu's invincibility and promoted the great power of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And Bai Yutian's name is enough to be recorded in history.
At the same time, Bai Yutian led his army to take back all the territory of Xuzhou and drove Shanu's army to the vicinity of Liangzhou.
Moreover, with the current state of the Shannu army, even Liangzhou may not be able to defend it.
Bai Yutian specially asked everyone to spread the news of the great victory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In just one day, almost the whole country knew about this victory, including everyone in Xuzhou.
Next, Jing Zhao led the Fenghuo Camp to bring all the 80,000 captured Shannu troops out of Chencheng and brought them to Yicheng.
Bai Yutian had no better arrangements for these prisoners, so he had to temporarily imprison them until Dazhou won a complete victory before making arrangements.
Bai Yutian originally wanted to kill these prisoners to intimidate Shan Nu and improve morale, but he was stopped by Yuncheng, Huang Yongding and others.
Now that Bai Yutian has personally conquered and won a great victory, his morale has been raised to a peak, so there is no need to improve morale anymore.
Moreover, there are currently many problems within the Great Zhou Dynasty. At the same time, the economy is in decline, and natural and man-made disasters have occurred in many places. These Shanu soldiers can just be used to solve some domestic problems.
In addition, Yuncheng also tore off his disguise and returned to Bai Yutian, bringing with him the captured Bai Xin.
Bai Xin's knees weakened. Seeing that Da Zhou had won and beat Shanu to a pulp, he was in a state of embarrassment. He immediately cried bitterly and planned to return to Dazhou's camp, and told that his surrender to Shanu was just a false surrender, and that he still wanted Dazhou in his heart.
Everyone sneered at this. If it weren't for Bai Yong's sake, there would still be a question as to whether Bai Xin could survive.
The original Xiliang army was considered an elite army among the Zhou armies and had the strength to resist Shan Nu.
But now the Xiliang army only has remnants and defeated generals, and the rest have been merged into various military camps.
At noon, Bai Yutian summoned all the generals and civil servants and began to discuss merits and rewards. Everyone played a great role in this battle, fought bravely and tenaciously.
Therefore, Bai Yutian's rewards were not merciful. In fact, the Yun family where Yuncheng belonged was directly promoted by Bai Yutian. After this war is over, he will probably rise directly and become a new aristocratic family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, no one objected to this promotion. Yuncheng's contribution was obvious to all. It can be said that without Yuncheng, there would be no victory, and the war might have dragged on for a long time.
After the rewards were given, Bai Yutian announced a grand banquet, which the entire army could participate in, and even civilians could participate.
Especially during the war, some people in the city also provided a lot of help, ensuring logistical supplies, and were also included in Bai Yutian's invitation.
As a time traveler, Bai Yutian is well aware of the power of the people. Only those who win the hearts and minds of the people can win the world, so Bai Yutian shows no mercy towards these rewards.
You have to spend money anyway, so why not spend it wisely?
Moreover, after Yan Chong and Yuncheng's secret investigation, Bai Yutian had a basic understanding of the corruption situation. He secretly ransacked the residences of many civil and military officials and confiscated a lot of property.
Compared to these, it's just a drop in the bucket.
After announcing the banquet, Bai Yutian went to the chef's room in person to observe the meals cooked by the chef.
Ever since Bai Yutian traveled to this world, what he ate was either cooked vegetables or grilled meat. Basically, it was just these two things, which was very monotonous.
The kitchen in Yicheng was a large courtyard temporarily requisitioned, with five or six rooms in it, all of which were temporarily used as kitchens.
When he came to the kitchen, Bai Yutian could smell the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
The fragrance is fragrant, but it's a bit monotonous.
Seeing this, Bai Yutian walked straight into the kitchen, followed immediately by Dian Wei and the others behind him.
"Your Majesty." The person in charge of the kitchen was an imperial chef in the palace. He had more than ten years of experience in cooking and was best at controlling the heat. When he saw Bai Yutian coming to the kitchen, he was surprised and happy, and he quickly saluted Bai Yutian.
This person's name is Li Sheng, and he has a flattering smile on his face. Although he doesn't know why Bai Yutian came to the kitchen, if Bai Yutian is happy and gives him something casually, it will be enough to make him rich and prosperous for the rest of his life.
"Are you in charge of this place?" Bai Yutian asked with a frown.
Seeing Bai Yutian's expression, Li Sheng's heart suddenly trembled, but he still said flatteringly: "Yes, it is Xiao Xiao who is in charge of this temporary kitchen."
Bai Yutian hummed, nodded lightly, and began to observe the kitchen.
On one side of the kitchen, there was a piece of fat pork cut off, used as scraps and thrown aside casually.
Bai Yutian walked forward, picked up the piece of fat, and said, "This piece of fat is good, but you just threw it aside."
Seeing this, Li Sheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we usually use this piece of fat to make soup."
