Good news from Shuobei?
Hearing Mu Shun's words, everyone was stunned.
"read!"
Emperor Wen suppressed his excitement and tried hard to appear expressionless.
"yes!"
Mu Shun quickly opened the battle report and read aloud: "Your son Yun Zheng reports to the emperor: Your son led the army to the Sulu River Plain..."
As Mu Shun's voice rang in everyone's ears, their expressions gradually became more interesting.
Yun Zheng defeated the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms, killing more than 100,000 enemy troops and capturing more than 100,000.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng led his troops to capture Qiuchi, and Qiuchi King Yuanfu was killed by the rebels, and the entire country of Qiuchi surrendered.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng sent troops from Xing'an Fort in the south of Qiuchi to attack Hun Gu, killing more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians in Hun Gu.
...
...
However, after a series of battles, the Northern Army also suffered heavy losses.
The Northern Army suffered nearly 80,000 casualties, including the loss of its elite troops, and is currently resting.
At the end of the battle report, Yun Zheng also proposed the idea of establishing the Northwest Protectorate, and reported the personnel of the Grand Protector and Deputy Protector of the Northwest Protectorate, and said that a detailed list would be submitted later.
Yun Zheng’s battle report was very simple.
When Mu Shun finished reading the battle report, everyone was already stunned with shock.
Yun Zheng defeated the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms and captured Qiuchi?
He even went to Hun Gu to kill some people?
"Manager Mu, you...did you pronounce it wrong?"
"Manager Mu, please let me see this battle report!"
"Could this battle report... be false?"
“…”
When they came to their senses, many people looked at Mu Shun eagerly.
Yun Li forced a smile on his face and stood up and said, "Manager Mu, please show me the battle report!"
At this moment, Yun Li vividly portrayed a smile on his face but a frown in his heart.
This bastard!
How could they defeat the Three Kingdoms Alliance so quickly?
Not only did they capture Qiuchi, but they also attacked Hungu?
I was just trying to use the fact that the armies of the western desert tribes were approaching to get rid of the burden of suppressing the aristocratic families and clans, but this bastard actually sent back the battle report?
If he really led his troops to Hun Valley, the tribes in the western part of the desert would most likely withdraw!
Once the threats from the tribes west of the desert are gone, my father will definitely let me continue to suppress the aristocratic families and clans!
You bastard! You bastard!
I feel uncomfortable if I don't cause trouble for myself for a day!
Mu Shun did not hand the battle report to Yun Li, but quietly observed the expression of Emperor Wen.
Only after Emperor Wen gave him a wink did he respectfully hand the battle report to Yun Li.
"Let's watch it together!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand gently, with a strange look on his face.
Somewhat happy, but also somewhat worried.
However, no one was paying attention to Emperor Wen's expression now. They all gathered around Yun Li and checked Yun Zheng's battle report with him.
Emperor Wen did not doubt that Yun Zheng's battle report was false.
No, this rebellious son’s battle report must be false!
This rebellious son didn't believe that the Northern Army suffered heavy casualties.
This rebellious son has reported more battle losses than expected, this is not the first time!
It is estimated that the actual casualties of the Northern Army were less than half of those reported by this rebellious son!
This rebellious son only mentioned how many enemies were killed, how many prisoners were captured, and how many casualties were suffered throughout the article, but did not mention a word about the spoils of war.
This rebellious son is not only afraid that I will covet his spoils, but he also probably wants me to give him some rewards!
"Okay! Okay!"
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, greatly enhance my military might!"
"Hun Valley was attacked by surprise, and the tribes in the western desert must retreat!"
"Your Majesty, please send someone to the northwest to see if the tribes in the western desert have begun to withdraw their troops."
"If the Sixth Prince's battle report is true, Xiao Wanchou and Zhao Ji will probably send someone back with the news soon..."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty..."
After reading Yun Zheng’s battle report, everyone was very excited.
"Don't be happy too soon!"
Emperor Wen raised his hand to stop everyone. "Whether this battle report is true or not, it still needs to be verified! Mu Shun, immediately send someone to rush to the northwest..."
Emperor Wen quickly issued orders.
Although he did not doubt Yun Zheng's battle report, he was eager to know whether the tribes in western Mo had begun to retreat.
Only when he is sure that the tribes in western Mo have retreated can he feel truly at ease.
Mu Shun did not dare to delay and went to handle it immediately.
Emperor Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Yun Li, Xu Shifu and Xue Che to stay, while the rest of the people dispersed.
Not until everyone left did Emperor Wen let Yun Li give him the battle report.
After carefully reading the battle report, Emperor Wen raised his eyes and asked, "Do you think Lao Liu's battle report is true?"
Yun Li hesitated for a moment and replied, "I think it should be true! The contents of the battle report can be verified. There is no need for the Sixth Master to send out a false battle report."
"Your Highness is absolutely right."
Xue Che and Xu Shifu also nodded in agreement.
There is no need for Yun Zheng to falsely report his military achievements now.
Unless Yun Zheng simply wanted to play a trick on them.
"Really?"
Emperor Wen lowered his head in thought, then set his eyes on Xue Che, "The Beifu Army suffered heavy casualties. Do you think we have a chance to retake Beilu Pass now?"
What?
The three of them were shocked at the same time.
Emperor Wen actually wanted to take back Beilu Pass?
Xu Shifu and Yun Li were overjoyed.
Whether we can recapture Beilu Pass will definitely depend on the situation.
However, as long as Emperor Wen has this intention, it’s fine!
Xue Che's face changed drastically, and he quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"Why not?"
Emperor Wen frowned, "Beilu Pass is in the hands of Lao Liu, which is a huge threat to the court! Now the Beifu Army has suffered heavy casualties. This is our best chance to take back Beilu Pass!"
"This is absolutely not possible!"
Xue Che said firmly, "Your Majesty, no matter how heavy the casualties of the Northern Army are, the Sixth Prince will not relax the defense of Beilu Pass! This time, the Sixth Prince led the Northern Army to achieve another extraordinary feat. If the court attacks Beilu Pass by force, it will not only chill the hearts of the Northern Army, but also the hearts of the people of the world!"
Emperor Wen frowned, "I have never forgotten his contribution! I can give him the eight cities in the north of the country and the three border cities. I just want to retake Beilu Pass and cut off his possibility of going south! Only by retaking Beilu Pass can the two brothers truly achieve the goal of dividing the border and governing separately in the future!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Xue Che's face was filled with anxiety. "Even if the Northern Army suffered heavy casualties, they would not be short of the 20,000 or 30,000 troops guarding Beilu Pass! Your Majesty, the Northern Army has suffered heavy casualties and is no longer able to move south! The court should take this opportunity to weaken the powerful families and clans within the pass, so as to avoid being constrained by powerful families and clans in the next war!"
As Xue Che finished speaking, Yun Li's face turned green.
This old guy used to agree to appease the aristocratic families and clans, but in the blink of an eye, he actually started to instigate the emperor to deal with the aristocratic families and clans?
The speed at which his expression changes is faster than turning pages of a book!
Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself?
"this……"
Emperor Wen was full of hesitation, and then looked at Yun Li, "What do you think, should the court take this opportunity to try to retake Beilu Pass, or take this opportunity to weaken the aristocratic families and clans?"
Faced with Emperor Wen's questions, Yun Li felt an immense headache.
Basically, these powerful veteran generals in the court would not agree to seize Beilu Pass.
Should Zhao Ji be sent to lead the army in the northwest to attack Beilu Pass?
It will be easy if we conquer it.
If they failed to capture the city, the imperial court would probably have to sacrifice their own lives to quell the anger of the Northern Army.
But if he continues to weaken the families and clans, he will be the one who suffers the consequences!
How should he answer this?
"It's up to the emperor to decide."
In desperation, Yun Li gritted his teeth and kicked the ball back to Emperor Wen.
"you……"
Emperor Wen was furious and walked straight up to Yun Li and raised his hand to slap him.
However, after hesitating for a long time, Emperor Wen still did not slap him.
"That's all!"
Emperor Wen put down his hand in dismay, staring at Yun Li with a look of disappointment, "I will risk my old face to help you once more! If Lao Liu's battle report is true, you will go with me to Fuzhou! Once this matter is confirmed, I will order the Ministry of Rites to set a wedding date for Lao Liu and Jia Yao."
"ah?"
Yun Li was slightly stunned, not understanding Emperor Wen's outrageous move.
"Oh shit!"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Li in anger. "If we don't go there in the name of attending their wedding, are we going to tell people that we are going to show weakness to the Sixth Old Man and appease this rebellious son so that he won't mess around? You can afford to lose this person, but I can't!"
