An urgent report instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Emperor Jing leaned forward and said anxiously, "Come in and talk!"

The eunuch who reported the news received permission and immediately walked quickly into the hall.

He lowered his head and said quickly, "Your Majesty, Yishun has reported that Lord Cui Jun was shot and died in the battle."

Emperor Jing suddenly stood up, looked directly at the eunuch delivering the decree, and said word by word, "Present it to me. I want to see it myself."

The hearts of everyone present were gripped.

Even Fang Zhengyi is the same.

Cui Jun originally went there to supervise the army, but even he had to personally participate in the battle. This shows how serious the situation had become.

Could it be that an army of nearly 20,000 was wiped out by the natives?

Emperor Jing took the report and read its contents over and over again before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he sat on the dragon chair and slapped the armrest fiercely, angrily saying: "Cui Jun misled me!"

The ministers below the stairs were startled by his sudden reaction and felt a little uneasy.

Cui Jun is dead...but he is still being scolded like this. What on earth happened?

Emperor Jing glanced at his ministers and felt a little regretful.

Cui Jun died, but he died killing enemies on the battlefield.

It might seem a bit harsh to say this.

After getting himself in a good mood, Emperor Jing sighed and said, "The battle in Yishun was not going well. The natives harassed Shanwei City several times, trying to lure our army into taking the initiative. Cui Jun was eager to win, so he took the initiative to lead his troops and lost his life."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Jun had no relationship with him, so it didn't matter whether he died or not.

However, this urgent report was obviously sent before Zhou Tie and his team arrived, which means that the people they sent out have not yet sent back any news.

But the current battle situation is not optimistic.

Li Yansong asked, "Your Majesty, what is the current situation at the Yishun front?"

Emperor Jing shook his head: "The natives are just a small group of harassers, taking advantage of the terrain to deal with our army. I am afraid that the current situation will continue to be a stalemate."

Zhang Dongxiang heard this and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we send more troops to capture them in one fell swoop?"

"This war not only concerns the safety of the south, but also the other small countries south of Yishun are paying attention. If it continues to be delayed... I am afraid that the court will lose face."

"I think what Mr. Zhang said makes sense. We cannot delay this matter any longer. Otherwise, the reputation of the court will be damaged and it will be too late to regret."

"I second the motion."

Emperor Jing lowered his head slightly, looking at the urgent report that had just arrived, feeling a little conflicted.

The losses in this battle were indeed too heavy.

A lot of people had been killed or injured in Shanwei City, and the cost of mobilizing nearly 20,000 troops was not low.

But if we continue to mobilize troops under the current situation, I'm afraid we will have to pay a heavy price to capture Yishun.

The best strategy is to wait until the natives run out of food, and then mobilize them on a large scale and fight a decisive battle.

Although the natives are not good at farming, they are very good at relying on the weather for their livelihood.

Who knows when we can take the initiative?

It’s okay to wait.

If it was not a problem in the past, but the court has already lost face, is it going to lose it again?

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

Only Li Yuanzhao and Fang Zhengyi were making eye contact.

After a long silence, Emperor Jing finally spoke: "The terrain of the city is smooth..."

"Urgent news! Urgent news from Yishun!!!"

Just as Emperor Jing uttered a few words, shouts were heard outside the palace.

Everyone was surprised and looked outside the hall.

I saw another eunuch standing outside the palace gate, panting, but with a look of joy on his face.

The eunuch who delivered the message was very happy.

Although the matter is of great importance, he must present it to His Majesty as soon as possible.

But the person who brought the news just now told him that it was good news, and he looked like he was almost dying of exhaustion!

This shows how great the good news is! I will definitely be rewarded today.

The eunuch was happy, but everyone else was very nervous.

I just heard some bad news about Yishun, and now another urgent report came. I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in my heart.

Could it be that Liao Qun also lost?

Emperor Jing waved his hand hastily: "What's the news? Bring it up quickly!"

Guo Tianyang hurriedly trotted down the stairs and retrieved the report.

As soon as the urgent report came in, Emperor Jing took a glance and was shocked.

can't read!

There are many words with unknown meanings in it!

What about hot air balloons, flying in the sky and setting fire...

But when he saw the end, Emperor Jing was shocked!

Overnight, as many as 8,600 enemy troops were wiped out, and the main force of the natives was defeated... Yishun no longer has any hidden worries!

Emperor Jing was in a daze holding the memorial and didn't react for a long time.

First, this sudden surprise was really too big.

It's like you're racking your brain over how to solve an extremely difficult problem one second, and the next second someone tells you the problem has been solved.

But this second point is a little untrue!

The problem has certainly been solved, but if someone says that there are gods in heaven helping, then the authenticity of the story will undoubtedly be greatly discounted.

Emperor Jing's mind was in a mess and he hadn't yet sorted out his thoughts.

All sorts of 'messy' things like forcing the main force of the enemy into the city and dropping kerosene cans from the sky with a hot air balloon kept circling in my mind.

He could still understand the first half, but the second half...completely confused!

Emperor Jing's performance made everyone present nervous.

Li Yansong couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Is this a victory report or...?"

Emperor Jing came back to his senses, still feeling a little dreamy, and answered unconsciously: "Happy event, it is a happy event."
