Imperial city.
Xiao Wanchou went to Shuobei for a while and finally returned to the imperial city.
However, he just came back first.
It might take a few days for those people who are escorting the wine to get back.
Xiao Wanchou didn't want to rush all the way, but they met the envoy sent by Emperor Wen halfway.
Emperor Wen had already received news that Yun Zheng's troops had once again launched a surprise attack on Beihuan in the Liefeng Gorge, and he also knew that Xiao Wanchou was personally involved in this matter.
But after all, battle reports cannot be too detailed.
Emperor Wen now only wants Xiao Wanchou to go back quickly and tell him about the battle.
Xiao Wanchou experienced this personally, so talking about it would definitely be much more exciting than the battle report!
Xiao Wanchou had no choice but to follow the messenger and rush back to the imperial city.
...
...
He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he was taken to the imperial garden.
Okay!
We have been in such a hurry along the way, it would be more natural for me to pretend to be sick when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wanchou no longer felt tired, but instead felt a little happy.
When Xiao Wanchou arrived at the Imperial Garden, he discovered that not only Emperor Wen was there, but also many ministers in the court.
It seems that everyone is waiting for him to be a storyteller.
"Your humble servant Xiao Wanchou pays respect to His Majesty..."
Xiao Wanchou stepped forward quickly and saluted.
"Excuse me, excuse me!"
Before Xiao Wanchou could kneel down, Emperor Wen stopped him and ordered someone to give Xiao Wanchou a seat. "Duke Yu, I am really sorry. I really want to know how you fought that battle, so I sent someone to ask you to rush back as fast as possible. Please don't blame me."
"I dare not, I dare not."
Xiao Wanchou waved his hands repeatedly, "This battle was so exciting, and it was the first time I've ever seen such a battle. It's only natural that Your Majesty wants to know the details of the battle."
“Yes, yes!”
Emperor Wen laughed and immediately urged, "Duke Yu, please explain this to me and the ministers."
Seeing Emperor Wen's impatient look, Xiao Wanchou not only laughed secretly, but also said bitterly: "Your Majesty, this old minister has not had any water since noon..."
"Blame me! Blame me!"
Emperor Wen understood what Xiao Wanchou meant. He laughed and asked someone to serve tea to Xiao Wanchou.
Xiao Wanchou took a few sips of hot tea before telling everyone in detail what had happened in the battle.
Xiao Wanchou spoke in great detail, almost starting from the time when the Beihuan army defeated the defenders at Beiyuan Shallows with a fire bull formation.
Although everyone knew the outcome of this battle, Xiao Wanchou's vivid description still made them feel worried and angry.
It was not until Xiao Wanchou mentioned that they used Bambu's golden knife to trick the 10,000-strong Northern Huan army into escorting food through the Riftwind Canyon that everyone finally burst into laughter.
Many of them couldn't help clapping their legs and exclaiming.
Yun Li and Xu Shifu also laughed, but their laughter was so forced.
Under normal circumstances, Yun Zheng should have died at the hands of the Beihuan people by now.
But this bastard not only did not die, he also made great contributions again!
The contribution in the battle of Death Valley has not yet been counted, and this bastard has made another contribution?
Yun Zheng is already a general of the third rank!
This made them feel worse than eating a fly.
With the merits of the battle in Death Valley plus this battle, if he were to be promoted again, he would at least be a third rank!
It is even possible to reach the second rank!
After all, his contribution in this battle was huge.
Not only did he lift the siege of Suining Guard at a very low cost, but he also used a clever strategy to severely trick Beihuan, killing people and stealing food, putting Beihuan into an even worse situation.
If this bastard continues to be promoted like this, Wei Wenzhong's official rank will be lower than his!
Xu Shifu's heart was moved, and he laughed loudly, "No wonder the Sixth Prince gambled his life for Bambu's golden knife when he was in the imperial city! It turns out that the Sixth Prince was waiting for Bambu here! Haha..."
Hearing Xu Shifu's words, Xiao Wanchou's heart suddenly shuddered.
Praise to death!
Xu Shifu is trying to praise Yun Zheng to death!
Although he was praising Yun Zheng, his implication was that Yun Zheng had already thought of this trick when he was in the imperial city.
Doesn't this clearly mean that Yun Zheng went to Shuobei for some purpose?
Sure enough, when Emperor Wen heard Xu Shifu's words, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Seeing this, Xiao Wanchou immediately said with a smile: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is not so cunning. This is what Mr. Leng came up with when he learned that he had Bamboo's golden knife..."
Xu Shifu frowned and cursed the old man Xiao Wanchou in his heart.
This old guy, isn't he ruining his own business?
"Mr. Leng?"
Emperor Wen was slightly puzzled, "Which Mr. Leng? Why didn't Lao Liu mention it in his battle report?"
Xiao Wanchou told Emperor Wen about Mr. Leng's background with a smile, and then continued, "Mr. Leng is a hermit who is indifferent to fame and fortune, so His Highness the Sixth Prince was not allowed to mention him in the battle report, and all the credit was given to Du Guiyuan and others..."
"Really?"
Emperor Wen was even more curious and immediately asked about Mr. Leng.
Xiao Wanchou did not hide anything and told Emperor Wen about his meeting with Mr. Leng so that Emperor Wen could be sure that there was indeed such a person as Mr. Leng.
When they heard him talk about Mr. Leng, everyone couldn't help but marvel at it.
However, although everyone was amazed, the questions that had been lingering in everyone's mind seemed to have finally been answered.
No wonder Yun Zheng can achieve so many remarkable feats!
It turned out that there was such a powerful person helping him!
I have to say, Yun Zheng is really lucky!
Just as everyone was secretly sighing, Mu Shun suddenly ran in in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, urgent news from the north eight hundred miles away!"
Listening to Mu Shun's words, everyone couldn't help but feel secretly puzzled.
Urgent news from eight hundred miles away?
Haven’t the battle reports from the recent battle been sent back?
Why is there another urgent news coming from eight hundred miles away?
Beihuan attacked again?
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Emperor Wen suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Read it!"
Mu Shun did not dare to neglect it, and quickly opened the urgent report and read aloud: "Your son Yun Zheng reports to the emperor that on the 14th day of the first lunar month, the troops of Shuofang Yu Shizhong sneaked into Beihuan territory to gather information and accidentally captured Beihuan Princess Jiayao. Beihuan intends to exchange Princess Jiayao for three border cities of our dynasty..."
As Mu Shun's voice rang out, everyone was suddenly stunned.
Xiao Wanchou stood up suddenly with a look of shock on his face.
Yun Zheng's men accidentally captured Beihuan Princess Jia Yao?
Beihuan is also interested in exchanging Sanbian City for Jiayao?
Doesn't this mean that the territory lost by the Dagan Dynasty six years ago will be recovered?
Emperor Wen was also extremely excited. Without waiting for Mu Shun to finish reading, he snatched the urgent report from Mu Shun's hand and read it carefully, fearing that he had read a word wrong.
After making sure that Mu Shun had not read it wrong, Emperor Wen could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
"Haha! Great! Lao Liu, great..."
Emperor Wen laughed so hard that he almost danced with excitement.
This is not just a piece of paper agreement!
This is a serious exchange of three border cities for people!
The Beihuan army withdrew from Sanbian City, and Da Gan released Jia Yao!
The territory lost in his hands was recovered by his son!
How could Emperor Wen not be happy about this?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
When they came to their senses, all the ministers congratulated him.
Yun Li and Xu Shifu looked at each other silently. They were obviously gritting their teeth in hatred, but they still joined everyone in congratulating...
