Chapter 124 General Long Xiang, Xiao Luofeng is none other than him!
Chang Sui.
Tianze Hall.
Emperor Yuan Xiu was sitting on the dragon throne, while all the civil and military officials stood in awe.
Unlike usual court appearances, today there was a handsome young man standing next to the dragon chair. It was Wei You who often hung out with Yuan Xiu in the imperial study.
Many of the officials could not restrain their curiosity and secretly looked at this handsome man.
After all, there are only a handful of people who can see Wei You in the Imperial Study Room.
The minds of officials are usually not that simple. When they see the man closest to the emperor, they can't help but look at the old eunuch Lu Lu standing on the side of the steps, wondering if this man is the new little eunuch, the emperor's new favorite.
?
Are you Eunuch Lu's disciple or grandson, or are you here to compete with him for a job?
"My dear friends, I believe that most of you are aware of the news coming from the south, but I still want Secretary Wei You to report it to you!"
Yuan Xiu nodded to Wei You, and Wei You walked forward gracefully.
Hearing this, the officials looked at Wei Youduo again.
Secretary doctor!
Although he is only a seventh-rank official, he is a close minister of the emperor. As long as the emperor is willing, he can have access to the most core information of the empire!
The officials all had their own ideas, and Wen Tai and Mu Shanyue, who were at the forefront of the civil servants, both looked displeased.
Wei You's voice is very bright and pleasant.
He said loudly: "There is news from the north that the Northern Expeditionary Army led by General Wang Yan is in full swing and will soon attack the capital of Yedan! The whole country is eagerly awaiting the news that General Wang will defeat Yedan and pacify the north!"
"But before the good news from the north arrives, great news comes from the south!"
"Our army defeated the Southern Zhou Army at Lingshan!!"
Most of the officials in the court have received the news about Lingshan, but there are still a small number of people who are unaware of it.
Those who knew looked proud, while those who didn't knew looked a little confused.
Lingshan?
Isn’t that our Dajing land?
How could the Southern Zhou Army appear?
Wei You spoke very rhythmically, deliberately pausing to give the officials time to digest, and then continued at the right time: "Qingdong City guard Xiao Luofeng, when he was exterminating the bandits in Lingshan, he discovered Hainan disguised as a pirate by the Southern Zhou Army.
Seeing that the Southern Zhou army was strong, Xiao Luofeng was worried that they had a big conspiracy, so he sent someone to Qingdong City to deliver a message. He led a hundred garrison troops to stare at the Southern Zhou army. As a result, the messenger was intercepted by the Southern Zhou army. Xiao Luofeng
As a result, Feng was in danger and was trapped in Lingshan Mountain!"
"This Southern Zhou army is composed of seven Yangmen generals and two thousand Yang family troops, and is led by Yang Qingzhi, the son of the Southern Zhou governor! Now it is clear from the investigation that their purpose is to pretend to be pirates and lurk in Lingshan, waiting for an opportunity to surprise Jing.
Thirteen Eastern Cities in order to achieve the goal of destroying the economy of our eastern city of Dajing!"
Wei You's narration was very skillful and his tone was ups and downs. Those who knew the matter in advance were completely absorbed by Wei You's words.
And those who didn't know were stunned when they heard the words "Seven Generals of the Yangmen" and "Yang Qingzhi".
The favorite son of the Governor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and seven famous family generals all came...
What an important task this is!!
The proportion of Dajing's economy and tax revenue has gradually tilted towards the eastern cities. If they succeed, Dajing's vitality will be seriously damaged!!!
"Of course!" Wei You interrupted Baiguan's thoughts and continued: "Xiao Shouwei, who was deeply in a desperate situation, had a lot of tricks and tricks when he had pursuers in front of him and no reinforcements behind him. He actually did the opposite and took the initiative to attack at night.
The Southern Zhou Army, finally..."
"All seven Yangmen generals were lost! The Yang family army suffered thousands casualties! Yang Qingzhi fled in despair!"
"And our army has zero casualties!"
"Our army... is completely victorious!!"
"Dajing is completely victorious!!!"
hiss--
After listening to Wei You's report, all the civil and military officials took a deep breath.
Everyone knelt down in unison and bowed to the dragon throne.
"Dajing is mighty!!"
"Long live my emperor!!"
"Long live Long live Long live!!"
The civil servants and military generals in front of him shouted long live. Yuan Xiu looked very satisfied. He flicked his long sleeves, stood up generously, and walked down the steps. As he walked, he said: "I am not as good as the generals in marching and fighting, and my practical writing is not as good as the literary generals."
Sir, I can count!"
Yuan Xiu stretched out his fingers to make gestures and said: "This way is one hundred, this way is two thousand!"
"One hundred and two thousand were wiped out, and no one died!"
"Tell me, what is this?"
"Is it a miracle?!"
Chen Changyun's chubby body was the first to come out of the queue and shouted: "This is God's honor to Your Majesty! It is the holy power of the Holy One!! It is the unparalleled military power of my Dajing!!!"
Du Xuhe also said: "The Battle of Lingshan is an eternity difficult to find. Once the Northern Expedition succeeds, your Majesty's martial arts will be called the Emperor of the Eternals!!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" All civil and military officials shouted in unison.
"Hahaha, you damn fat man, you sycophant!!" Yuan Xiu pointed at Chen Changyun and Du Xuhe, laughing and said: "You two are commendable for their loyalty, and the reward is a hundred taels!"
The two were overjoyed when they heard this and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Now that the Northern Expedition is getting tight, I decided to donate this reward to the Northern Expedition!"
"Thank you... Your Majesty!"
Yuan Xiu couldn't restrain his excitement. He sat down on the steps, looked at the ministers with his fingers crossed, and said, "Tell me, how should I reward Xiao Luofeng?"
"Deserves a big reward!"
"It must be heavily rewarded!"
"This man has promoted the prestige of the country of Dajing, and no reward can be given too much!"
All the officials agreed, but no one proposed a specific reward. They all glanced at the big bosses in the front row with their peripheral vision.
At this time, Mu Shanyue came out and said: "I have heard about Xiao Luofeng quite a lot. Although he was born as a merchant, he joined the border guard army when he was still young. He once served as a centurion under the champion king.
Through the strategy of surprise attack, we have created an example of defeating more with less."
"This man is a talented general. I recommend that he be promoted to three levels in a row and be promoted to general!"
Yuan Xiu nodded but did not answer immediately.
Wen Tai, who had been silent until now, knew that the emperor was waiting for his opinion, so he said: "Xiao Luofeng is only a guard of a city now. Even if he is promoted to three levels in a row, he is just a big general, which is not enough to show the emperor's favor.
The majesty of it.”
Yuan Xiu asked: "What should we do according to Zuo Xiang's wishes?"
"Xiao Luofeng has been in the army for more than ten years. He has qualifications, military merit, and ability. I believe that he should be canonized as General Long Xiang!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Wen Tai in surprise.
General Longxiang!
From the third grade!
How many levels did this...how many levels did this jump in a row??
Soaring into the sky!!!
If the results of Wen Tai's proposal were smaller than this, everyone would think that Wen Tai was trying to win over Xiao Luofeng. However, the stronger the recommendation, the more people felt that Wen Tai was sincere in promoting talents for the country.
At this time, Xu Shouli also came out and said: "The Northern Expedition is imminent, and Dajing is in need of military power. At this time, it is time to vigorously promote military generals!"
He Yin also said: "Promoting over the next level can demonstrate the emperor's great grace, and it can also highlight the great results of the Lingshan Battle!"
"General Longxiang, General Longxiang...very good, very good!"
Yuan Xiuwu stood up with a high-spirited look on his face, as if he was the one who won the battle and was rewarded by leapfrogging.
"My dear friends are right, this great achievement should be heavily rewarded!"
"General Long Xiang, it has to be Xiao Luofeng!!!"
