Imperial city.
As usual, Emperor Wen asked about Prince An's rebellion at the court meeting.
However, the result was so great that Emperor Wen wanted to jump up and curse.
How many days has it been?
Haven’t you put down Prince An’s rebellion yet?
The imperial army is still in a stalemate with the rebels led by Prince An?
This is all a bullshit battle!
However, Emperor Wen finally held back.
"Prince, what do you think?"
Emperor Wen suppressed his anger and turned to look at Yun Li, "Do you think I should punish Wu Du for failing to suppress the rebellion?"
...
...
Yun Li thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Father, I think that General Wu cannot be blamed for this. The continuous spring rain in the south has caused the roads to be muddy, and the speed of the food and grass escort is indeed too slow. There is a shortage of food and grass at the front, so it is safer for General Wu not to attack rashly..."
"That's true."
Emperor Wen nodded slightly, then looked up at the new Minister of War Xue Che, "I am too lazy to issue an order! The Ministry of War sent someone to tell Wu Du that Xiao Wanchou has recovered after taking the folk remedy and is looking to stretch his muscles. If he can't do it, I will order Xiao Wanchou to go! When the time comes, don't say I didn't give him a chance!"
Emperor Wen spoke lightly.
However, everyone knew that Emperor Wen must be holding back his anger.
Emperor Wen now does not want to let the veteran generals in the court take action. He is using this opportunity to train the middle-aged generals in the court.
Once Xiao Wanchou is asked to replace Wu Du, Wu Du will definitely be abandoned.
"yes!"
Xue Che accepted the order but smiled bitterly in his heart.
To be honest, Wu Du can't be blamed for this.
The food and fodder from the rear were not delivered in time and there was a shortage of food and fodder at the front. What could Wu Du do?
We can't let our soldiers plunder the civilians' food supplies, can we?
However, I don’t know what happened to His Majesty.
If this had happened in the past, the emperor would have been furious.
It seems that the emperor's temper has improved since the incident with the Sixth Prince.
How strange!
I don’t know what His Majesty is thinking now.
Just as Xue Che was thinking secretly, a palace guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Deputy Commander Han and his men are back!"
'Han Jin? '
Emperor Wen stood up suddenly, "Where's the person? Bring him in immediately!"
The palace guards received the order.
Soon, several palace guards came in quickly holding several boxes.
Following behind was Han Jin, who was supported by two people.
Han Jin struggled to push away the person who was supporting him, "Your humble servant... pays your respects... cough cough..."
Han Jin wanted to salute, but as soon as he pushed away the person who was supporting him, he fell down.
Han Jin was really exhausted.
After leaving Weibian, they traveled almost day and night.
It’s more urgent than the 800-mile express!
Along the way, Han Jin didn't know how many horses were exhausted from running.
Even a few horses at the post station were killed.
Fortunately, he managed to make it to the imperial city.
There were also a few people who collapsed from exhaustion just after passing Juzhou.
"Alright, alright! No need to be polite!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? How did it become like this?"
Han Jin coughed twice again, then he took out a piece of white cloth from his body with great difficulty, held it up with great effort, and said breathlessly: "Your Highness... led his troops to... the pastureland to kill the Great Chanyu of Hujie of the Northern Huan. This is... Your Highness's battle report..."
boom!
As Han Jin finished his words, the ministers seemed to be struck by lightning.
Everyone looked at Han Jin in astonishment, almost unable to believe their ears.
His Highness the Sixth Prince killed the Great Chanyu of Northern Huan?
This...how is this possible?
Emperor Wen was also stunned by Han Jin's words.
Mu Shun was sensible. He trotted forward, took the battle report from Han Jin, and presented it respectfully to Emperor Wen.
It was not until this time that Emperor Wen came to his senses. He grabbed the battle report, suppressed his inner excitement, and read it carefully.
Yun Zheng’s battle report was very simple.
He simply mentioned the casualties and gains of the battle, and said that a detailed battle report would be sent back later.
"Quick, open the box for me!"
Emperor Wen dropped the battle report and excitedly gave orders to the palace guards.
Upon hearing Emperor Wen's order, several palace guards quickly opened the box.
However, before Emperor Wen could see clearly, the old minister in the court came up happily.
Although Han Jin and his men sprinkled some lime on the human head, the head still had a bit of smell after being sent back from such a long distance.
However, everyone didn't care about that and stared at the three heads carefully.
Call Capricorn!
Bolon!
They didn't recognize the other head.
However, since he was sent back, he must be an important figure in Beihuan.
"It's that old guy Hu Jie!"
"Bo Luan, I recognize this bastard!"
"Haha, Sixth Prince killed Bolun and Hujie in one battle, so he deserves the posthumous title of Wu Lie!"
"You old thing, you are getting old and confused, right? The Sixth Prince is alive and well, why are you mentioning a posthumous title?"
“Ah… this…”
Several old ministers were surprised and happy, and spoke without thinking.
Listening to the words of the old ministers, the other ministers also came forward.
At this moment, Emperor Wen could not see anything.
Yun Li had a smile on his face, but he was filled with anger in his heart.
Lao Liu, you bastard!
Even Hu Jie was killed by him?
This time, this bastard is going to go to heaven!
“Ahem…”
Just as everyone was gathered in front of the head and talking in a noisy manner, Emperor Wen's cough suddenly sounded in their ears.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they realized that they were blocking Emperor Wen's sight, and quickly retreated to their positions.
This time, Emperor Wen was finally able to see the three three heads clearly.
Um!
It’s Hu Jie and Bolun!
Six years ago, he had seen these two people when he was in Shuobei.
The other head should be Haizhe, the son of Hu Jie mentioned in Lao Liu’s battle report, right?
good!
OK!
Lao Liu had just asked Mu Shun to bring back the head of Hu Jie's eldest son not long ago, and today he asked someone to bring back the heads of Hu Jie and his youngest son.
Now, they can be reunited as a family!
"First send these heads to the Imperial Medical Bureau and have the imperial physician take care of them."
Emperor Wen suppressed his excitement and gave orders to the palace guards, and then said to Han Jin: "Go down and rest first, I will summon you later!"
"yes!"
Han Jin took the order and left with the help of two palace guards.
"well……"
After everyone left, Emperor Wen suddenly let out a long sigh.
Emperor Wen's sigh confused all his ministers.
The Great Chanyu of Beihuan and the Right Wise King were both killed, so why does His Majesty still seem unhappy?
What is going on?
Just when the ministers were puzzled, Emperor Wen's eyes fell on Yun Li.
"well……"
Then, there was another long sigh.
Facing Emperor Wen's gaze, Yun Li felt inexplicably flustered, "Father, you...what's wrong with you? Why do you seem a little unhappy about the killing of Hu Jie and Bolun?"
"I am happy, but you..."
Emperor Wen sighed, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Let Xiao Wanchou and his son go to Xuzhou to replace Wu Du! You should go with them!"
"ah?"
Yun Li was dumbfounded, "Father, I... I am not good at leading troops!"
"It is precisely because you are not good at leading troops that I let you follow me to learn!"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Li in anger and said earnestly, "Look at your sixth brother. He relied on such a small number of people to defeat the Northern Huan and even killed Hu Jie Chanyu with his troops!"
"If you don't learn, what will you do if your sixth brother leads his army to attack the imperial city after you succeed to the throne?"
"Even if there are these generals in the court, you don't know anything about military affairs. You don't even understand the war situation. How can you make a decision?"
"You don't have to lead the troops in person, but it's always good to learn more about these things!"
