The moment Su Qi saw that the two sides did not fight, a thought subconsciously came to his mind.

Li Xiuzhu led his troops to surrender to the enemy?

Thinking of this, Su Qi discovered that the motionless team seemed to move slowly, and the direction they were heading was exactly towards Juyongguan.

What's going on?

Just as Su Qi was thinking this, a black warhorse ran towards him.

The black warhorse ran very fast and soon arrived at the foot of Yanmen Pass.

"Is General Zhu here?"

Su Qi stood up and shouted, "I, General Su Qi, have taken over the defense of Yanmen Pass."

"Are you Li Xiuzhu's man?"

The messenger was stunned. He didn't expect it to be General Su Qi. He immediately saluted.

"Meet General Su. We are indeed General Li's men. The general asked us to come for support, but we didn't expect that the other side surrendered as soon as we arrived."

"So my captain asked me to come and tell the general, does the general have anything to say?"

Su Qi was stunned, and then speechless. They were fighting to the death, but Li Xiuzhu was the one who picked up the peaches.

But this was not the time to talk about this, Su Qi asked directly: "Are there any remnants in the territory?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know if there are any scattered Silla soldiers, but the largest group is here."

Su Qi understood what he said, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Tell General Li that the three Japanese generals will sweep the Sanguan area next. After the sweep is completed, I will go and join General Li."

An hour and a half later, Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he received the battle report. He did not expect that the other party had surrendered.

After hearing Su Qi's message, Li Xiuzhu was silent for a moment, then wrote two battle reports and handed them out.

"800-mile victory report sent to Kyoto."

Now that the border has been stabilized and the end of the year is approaching, Li Xiuzhu wants to go back.

It's been almost a month since I came out, and to be honest, I miss home a little.

It’s just the right time to wait for the emperor’s transfer order to come down, and Qi Shaoshang should be back soon.

Two days later, just after the morning court session was over and about to end, the messenger rushed into the council hall.

"Report, victory news from the front line eight hundred miles away."

Another good news?

"Show it up!"

Wang Defa hurriedly presented the three reports of victory.

Li Kuo was startled when he saw three pieces of good news.

"Are these three letters all reports of victory?"

The messenger heard this and said quickly: "Yes, two of them were sent by the General of Cavalry, and one was sent by the General of Chariots."

"Because we have to pass through Yanmen Pass, the General of Chariots and Cavalry ordered me to bring the victory report with me."

Li Kuo was very happy now. Who wouldn't be happy after receiving three consecutive good news?

"Defa, read!"

"promise!"

After Wang Defa opened it and took a look, he gasped in shock.

"Good news from Juyong Pass. On the fifth day of the tenth month of the Jiashen year, General Su Qi of the Cavalry captured Juyong Pass and ordered Commandant Zhao Jian to lead his troops deep into the country and attack the royal court of Silla in the north."

"That night, General Jin Dakang of Silla led his army to attack. Our army held Juyong Pass and wiped out 11,408 enemies."

"Later, I received the general's order to defend Juyong Pass."

"It took ten days, and the Northern Expedition Army continued to report victories."

"To date, we have defeated 73 tribes in total, and killed more than 80,000 young and strong men and soldiers of Silla. Silla will not be able to fight again in the short term."

"On the same day, General Jin Dakang of Silla launched a full-scale attack on Yanmen Pass."

"The General of the Cavalry ordered Hua Guanfang to lead 10,000 cavalry to reinforce. The enemy surrendered, and our army captured one Silla general, 26 officers and 4,608 soldiers."

"That's all, General of the Cavalry Li Xiuzhu."

The battle report must objectively record the battle results and the main generals who led the troops to facilitate the court's rewards, so Li Xiuzhu wrote so much.

Defending Yanmen Pass is not the point, and the 4,600+ surrendered soldiers are not the point either. The point is the army heading north.

In ten days, 73 tribes were destroyed and 80,000 enemy soldiers and young and strong men were killed. This is invincible.

"Master Fu, you got a good son-in-law."

After listening to his old friend's jealous expression, Fu Wenhan was extremely happy.

But he didn't expect that his son-in-law was actually a military genius.

Fu Wenhan also whispered happily: "My daughter has a good eye. She has long seen that the bamboo is not something that can be found in the pond."

At this time, Wang Defa opened the second "good news".

But as soon as he opened it, Wang Defa seemed to have lost his voice and didn't know how to read it as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Kuo was stunned and frowned slightly.

"Why don't you read it?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Your Majesty, would you like to take a look first?"

Li Kuo took the "good news" with doubt, and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Your Majesty, I have been out for almost a month. Now Silla is powerless to save the situation. Please issue an order to let me go back."

"I miss home, and I miss my wife even more."

"Yeah, I miss the two princesses too."

"We agreed to get married on September 18th, but it's already October. Aren't you afraid that my two wives will be anxious waiting for you?"

"I have already thought of a reason for you to go back. Return to the capital to present the captives."

"...Please, I want to go home."

But when he saw the "good news" requesting to return to Beijing, Li Kuo was a little amused.

Especially the last sentence "please", it sounds like a child playing.

Shouldn't a man have ambitions to go far and wide? Why is this boy just thinking about going home to be sentimental?

But now that Silla has stabilized, it’s time to come back.

Li Kuo glanced at Wang Defa and immediately said unhappily, "Isn't it just that my son-in-law asked to return to the capital to surrender the captives? What's wrong with reading this?"

Wang Defa: ??? It’s best to just hand over the prisoners.

But since it's the master who gave the order, I have to take the blame myself.

Wang Defa smiled and apologized, "Your Majesty is right. I just think that this matter should be left to Your Majesty to decide, and I dare not read it out without authorization."

At this moment everyone was in doubt, but no one dared to ask too many questions.

"Well, go ahead and read General Su's victory report."

"promise!"

After opening the last letter of victory report, Wang Defa read it again.

"Good news from Yanmen Pass. General Su Qi led an army of 50,000 to Yanmen Pass and encountered a full-scale attack from the Silla army."

"At the beginning of the war, our general Su Yun led the troops to defend, and later Wang Kai and Li Cheng came to reinforce the defense."

"After more than an hour of fighting, our army killed 15,000 enemies and suffered 2,800 casualties."

"There were two other reinforcements during the battle, and the casualties of one of them are unknown."

"The above is the Great General of Chariots and Cavalry Su Qi."

Unknown casualties? It seems to be Luo Shicheng's army, but the battle report from Shanhaiguan has not come yet? At the same time, the Su family of the Taifu Mansion.

"Mom, why are you daydreaming again?"

"It feels like you've become a different person this time."

Su Ru came back to her senses when she heard her daughter's sudden voice.

Su Ru smiled on her face but sighed in her heart. After going through something like that, it would be strange if I could still be the same as before, right?

Unfortunately, those things cannot be told to anyone!
