Chapter 240: Great victory at Chenjiagu

Yang Ye said calmly, "Really! The horse meat from the dead war horses of the Liao army alone is more than 6,000 horses and several hundred thousand kilograms."

This great news made the generals in the tent blush with excitement. The chief commander Pan Mei was also excited. This was really a great victory that could turn the tide of the war!

Wang Quan was stunned! The ambush of the Chenjiagu army was so effective? The two thousand soldiers of the King of Qin and the eight hundred remnants of Yang Ye killed more than 40,000 iron cavalry of the Liao army and killed more than 16,000?

Damn it! Shouldn't this great achievement belong to this military supervisor? If I were to ambush there with 10,000 elite cavalrymen and 3,000 archers, wouldn't I have killed more than 40,000 Liao soldiers?

Wang Quan's heart was filled with passion, regret, and jealousy, and his expression kept changing.

Seeing his colleagues' excitement, Yang Ye's mood also improved a lot.

: "I have brought the ten thousand war horses and armors and weapons that were captured and delivered them to the quartermaster in the camp. I have sent people to deliver half of the grain and horse meat to the camp of the Han people to improve their diet and give them more nutrition. When they are stronger, they can travel faster."

: "How can horse meat be distributed to those villains? Yang Ye, you are so brave! How dare you act on your own?" Wang Quan shouted angrily in a sharp voice.

Yang Ye looked at him coldly and turned away with disgust: "Marshal, there are hundreds of thousands of pounds of horse meat. Even if only half of it is taken, it can feed tens of thousands of soldiers for a while.

The Han people in the four states were relocated to the territory of the Song Dynasty by the emperor's kindness and wisdom. They are your majesty's people and cannot starve to death, right?"

"Isn't it enough to give them two bowls of porridge every day? Why give them horse meat? How will the soldiers feel when they know that the meat in their mouths is eaten by those bastards? If the army is shaken by this, you, Yang Ye, will be unforgivable!" Wang Quan still angrily questioned.

Yang Ye was so disgusted that he didn't even bother to answer him.

Pan Mei tried to smooth things over again, "General Wang, calm down. Since the horse meat has been distributed to them, it should be regarded as a gift from the emperor! As for the horses, armor and weapons that were captured, you can distribute them to the generals!"

Thinking of the tens of thousands of horses and countless armor and weapons, and seeing the eager eyes of the generals in the marshal's tent, Wang Quan's anger subsided a little. Yang Ye's Huoshan Army suffered heavy casualties, and they had to bring back so many spoils of war. This general will be in charge of the distribution.

Wang Quan stood in front of the mighty herd of thousands of horses, with several piles of armor, weapons, food, horse meat and other spoils piled up like a hill. He was arrogant, pointing at the names of the generals and distributing the spoils.

This huge amount of spoils immediately gave the Song army another 10,000 cavalrymen, and the armor and weapons made more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers into the main force, greatly increasing their combat effectiveness. Horse meat improved the diet, and the soldiers of the Song army were all smiling and their morale was greatly improved.

In the refugee camps that accommodated Han people, many people were crying while eating a fist-sized piece of horse meat, full of gratitude. In the past, only the Khitans and the Han masters could eat meat, but now, these bastards and slaves can also eat it.

The memorials of Pan Mei, Yang Ye and Wang Quan were sent to the capital at the same time in an urgent manner. Of course, the contents of the three memorials were different. The great victory of Chenjiagu must be reported, and this great credit must be shared more.

When Pan Mei reported the great victory of Chenjiagu, he tried his best to highlight his careful planning and strong command.

Yang Ye did not report the truth either, and mainly reported the greed and fear of death of the military supervisor Wang Quan, who harmed friendly forces. The rescue of the King of Qin was vague, especially those powerful thunder bombs, which were not mentioned at all. Even if the emperor blames him in the future, he didn't see it when he led the remnants

of the Huoshan Army to escape a few miles outside the valley. The military supervisor Wang Qun tried his best to justify his greed and fear of death, and escaped early to harm friendly troops. He turned black and white and blamed Yang Ye for beating him up and distributing horse meat to the people on his own initiative. He also complained about the fact that the King of Qin did not obey the general's order to defend Yanmen Pass and secretly led his troops to Chenjia Valley. ...

The war was not going well. The news from the front line several times in a row was that the Liao army won and the Song army retreated. The emperor was really uncomfortable these days and was in a very bad mood.

When not attending court,

Wang Jien carefully placed a bowl of bird's nest porridge on the table and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you have been tired for a long time. Please have a bowl of bird's nest porridge!"

The emperor frowned and did not turn around, "I am not hungry."

"A great victory in Chenjia Valley! Your Majesty, a great victory in Chenjia Valley! The messenger who delivered the victory message is waiting outside." A eunuch was full of joy and knelt down to announce the good news after entering the door.

The emperor turned around, his anxious look disappeared in the blink of an eye, and his face showed excitement: "Hurry up and send him in!"

After the dusty messenger entered Yu's study, he knelt on the ground and respectfully held the victory report on his head, "Reporting to Your Majesty, a great victory in Chenjia Valley! His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and the veteran general Yang Ye, led less than 3,000 people of the Moyun Cavalry and the Huoshan Army, ambushed and killed more than 16,000 elite Liao cavalrymen, and the Liao Western Army Commander Yelu Xiu'ge led more than 20,000 remnants and fled in panic."

The emperor's brows relaxed immediately, and his face was full of joy, "Send the victory report up, and reward him with 100 taels of silver."

: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The messenger thanked him happily and retreated.

The emperor opened the seal of the document himself, and the more he read, the deeper his smile became. He couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer: "Good! Chenjiagu won a

great victory, severely damaging the main force of the Liao army. Yelu Xiu'ge and Empress Dowager Xiao, who have penetrated deep into the territory of our Song Dynasty, should withdraw their troops and get out now, right?!" The emperor was very happy and in a good mood. The only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was that it was another great achievement made by the King of Qin.

"Report! Report to Your Majesty, Xu Yanshou, the governor of Dazhou Prefecture, sent an urgent message of 800 miles. Rebellions suddenly broke out in various places in Western Shu. Jianmen Pass was controlled by the rebel Wu Qiren. The entire Shu area has been lost." The messenger who was led in by the eunuch reported this matter with a cold sweat and a trembling voice.

"What?!" The emperor stood up suddenly and pointed at the messenger with a trembling finger, "You... say it again." The

messenger's voice trembled even more violently, and his body was shaking too: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Xu Yanshou, the governor of Dazhou, has sent an urgent message of 800 miles away. Rebellions have suddenly occurred in various parts of Western Shu. Jianmen Pass has been controlled by the rebel Wu Qiren. The Shu area... has been completely lost." The

emperor waved his robe angrily, and the bowl of still hot bird's nest porridge was swung to the ground, the porcelain bowl broke into pieces, and the porridge splashed everywhere.

Wang Jien stole a glance at the emperor, his back bent even more, and he muttered in his heart, "Alas! The emperor was overjoyed just now, and in a moment he was furious. His mood really went through the ring

of ice and fire in the blink of an eye!" The emperor walked quickly to the picture of the emperor hanging on the wall and tore open the curtain covering it with his own hands.

Looking at the area of ​​Shu that had turned dark yellow, I received a memorial from Luo Ji, the new governor of Chengdu Prefecture, yesterday, saying that remnants of the Later Shu were found in Mianyang, Fuzhou and other places and were about to start a rebellion, and requested the court to

send troops to suppress the rebellion. Overnight, the entire Shu was gone? Although the land of Western Shu is known as the difficult Shu Road, it is also known as the Land of Abundance! Every year, a lot of taxes and tributes were paid from Shu. Such a large territory was taken back by the remnants of Shu?

The emperor felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a surge of hot blood with a sweet and fishy taste surged up. He clenched his teeth to prevent it from gushing out. He felt dizzy, his body swayed, and he staggered.

Wang Jien hurried over and supported the emperor who was about to fall to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please go to the dragon couch and rest for a while?"
