Chapter 159 The results of the Yuanyang Army returned to Beijing
"Thirty-seven...thirty-eight...forty..."
"Count again, count again...one, two...forty..."
"Jesus!!!"
The captain's eyes sparkled with tears.
He grinned hugely.
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes into his mouth.
He couldn't taste the saltiness.
I don't know if I am crying or laughing.
"Forty..."
"That's forty..."
"No one is missing..."
Everyone's eyes were extremely blank.
They couldn't believe it.
All this before my eyes.
Did you do it yourself? ?
This...
"Go down the mountain!! Return to the city!!"
The leader's voice was extremely hoarse.
He raised the long knife in his hand, and his voice was extremely firm:
"Mandarin duck formation, invincible in the world!!"
……
"What??"
In the military tent.
The pupils in Ji Qing's eyes were a little dilated.
Listening to the reports from the newly trained Yuanyang Army in front of him, he felt that the world was a little unreal.
"A total of eleven new Yuanyang armies."
"The total number of troops in this exercise is 426."
"Annihilated four hundred and seventy enemies."
"Sixteen of our troops were killed and forty-seven wounded."
A few simple sentences to report.
This left Ji Qing, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces who had fought several major battles with the demon clan, at a loss.
"Twenty teams of mandarin duck troops...the initial training lasted only two months..."
Ji Qing felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
"How can it really be so powerful on the steep roads in the mountains?!"
He whispered softly.
At that time.
A breeze flashed by.
The next moment, a familiar figure appeared in the camp.
Dean Shi of Qilin Academy.
He still has the white hair and childish face, with a calm face.
"I heard that the results of the military exercise are out?"
There was no emotion in his voice.
Ji Qing looked up in a daze, nodded and said:
"Come out."
"What's the battle report?"
"You...see for yourself."
……
The camp fell into a long period of silence.
finally.
"Click."
There was a soft sound.
Then came the voice of Dean Shi:
"Hurry! Repay Your Majesty with this victory!!"
"Wei Guo Gong Tian Ji! He will be famous all over the world!!!"
……
royal palace.
In the imperial study room.
When Emperor Jianhong's eyes fell on the people in front of him.
His eyes were a little gloomy.
At this time, Emperor Jianhong was sitting in the middle of the imperial study.
He sat in his chair and said nothing.
In front of him, there were five figures standing.
Li Zhen, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Tian Ji, Duke of Wei.
Zeng Shilin, Minister of the Ministry of War and Bachelor of Wuyingdian.
Lou Yingqi, the Minister of Household Affairs.
There is also a figure who is extremely respectful, standing behind the others and not conspicuous.
It is Si Zhongxiao, the eunuch of Bingbi.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was extremely quiet.
No one spoke.
"Tell me, what are your concerns?"
Emperor Jianhong took a deep breath. He sat on his chair and stared coldly at the ministers:
"I had concerns when I attacked Bianxuan, so Ji Qing also led his army to fight!"
"Later, there was a riot by the demon clan in the north, but you still had concerns! I also sent Ji Qing and Dean Shi to suppress it."
"When there were floods and droughts later, you still had worries! All the money from the Ministry of Revenue was allocated to the victims in full!!"
"Now you still have concerns about attacking a small country!!"
After saying that, Emperor Jianhong slapped his palm on the table.
There was a "bang" sound.
"What? My Great Holy Dynasty is now riddled with holes and there is no cure?!!"
At this point, Emperor Jianhong's voice had already brought the atmosphere of the whole place to freezing point.
"Puff~"
Si Zhongxiao knelt down directly.
Hearing him kneeling, several people in the venue did not hesitate and all knelt down.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Li Zhen knelt on the ground, his voice neither salty nor light.
"Calm down?!!"
Emperor Jianhong looked at him coldly.
The face is as sharp as ice:
"Huang Yuangao!!"
"Huang Gong!!"
“I have worked diligently and conscientiously for decades for my Great Holy Pilgrimage!!”
"He was murdered by villains and assassinated by monsters!!"
“The dragon survey map of Fengqi Road is lost!!”
"How do you want me to calm down?!"
"How can you let the people of the world calm down their anger?!"
……
Li Zhen didn't speak.
Lou Yingqi, who was kneeling on the ground, sighed deeply.
Weiguo Gong Tian Ji gritted his teeth and slowly raised his head and said:
"Your Majesty, I know your Majesty's anger very well, and I am extremely heartbroken."
"The blame for Huang Gong's death lies with our ministers and has nothing to do with Your Majesty."
"Our desire to avenge Mr. Huang is as urgent as fire!"
Having said this, Tian Ji continued with a wry smile:
"However, the focus of this battle is not on the Southern King of Jiang Kingdom."
"But in the Monster Clan, if you want to take over the Southern King's fiefdom, you must send troops to blockade the Monster Clan in the Monster Mountain in the south."
"Otherwise, when our army is attacking the city, if Xiang Liu gets the news and sends the demon army south at this time and takes advantage of the situation to attack, our army will be in trouble from the enemy from both sides..."
"Hmph!"
Emperor Jianhong squinted his eyes and looked at Weiguo Gong Tian Ji:
"Then block it!"
Tian Ji smiled bitterly. He extended his hand to Emperor Jianhong and saluted: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen, please stand up and speak."
Then Dad, Lou Yingqi, and Li Zhen all raised their heads.
He looked innocently towards Emperor Jianhong.
Only Si Zhongxiao was still kneeling on the ground, his butt kicked up high.
"Get up!"
Emperor Jianhong waved his hand impatiently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a few people got up.
Tian Ji took a deep breath and walked towards the largest map in the imperial study.
He pointed to the southern border on the map and circled a very clear place:
"Your Majesty, the forest mountain to the north of the fiefdom of King Jiang Nan is called Baishan Mountain. This mountain is extremely steep."
"But under the mountain is a huge plain."
"If we want to set up troops to intercept the monsters on this plain, I'm afraid we will need at least... 300,000 troops to barely occupy this plain."
"What?? Three hundred thousand??" Lou Yingqi was shocked when he heard this.
He looked at Tian Ji in disbelief: "Master, are you crazy? Now that the national treasury is tight, you still want 300,000 soldiers?? No! I can't afford it! It's impossible to afford it!!"
"Even if you are tired on the road, each county is in charge of food, and the food and grass consumption of the three hundred thousand troops is quite huge... I will definitely not be able to get it from the treasury of the Great Sage."
Lou Yingqi shook his head and waved his hands. He was not afraid of boiling water. He saluted Emperor Jianhong:
"Your Majesty, if you really want to send 300,000 troops to the southern border just to attack a mere fiefdom of the Southern King of Jiang Kingdom, you might as well take off the head of the general first."
"Otherwise, Duke Wei would never want to take away a single penny from the treasury."
……
Emperor Jianhong's brows became gloomy again.
He was not gloomy because of Lou Yingqi's words. But the 300,000 troops Tian Ji mentioned.
Indeed, the fatigue of three hundred thousand troops...
When Wei Guogong Tianji heard Lou Yingqi's words, he sighed helplessly, then raised his head to look at Emperor Jianhong, with a hint of solemnity in his voice:
"I have a second strategy."
"Say." Emperor Jianhong squinted his eyes.
"In addition to setting up troops on the plains at the foot of the mountain, if you want to prevent the demon army from invading, then set the battlefield in the mountain path of Baishan Mountain."
Having said this, Tian Ji took a deep breath and said:
"The Baishan Mountain Road is extremely steep and narrow. It is the only way for the demon clan to go south. It is also the main road where the Allied Forces of the Holy River and the Two Kingdoms wanted to encircle Zhuanxuan seven years ago."
< br>
"If we can set up troops in this way, we only need 10,000 Weilin troops..."
"It's just..." When Tian Ji said this, his face turned ugly:
"This ten thousand Weilin army needs to hold on for half a month to prevent the demon clan from coming out and interfering with our main force."
"In half a month, I am confident that I will take down the fiefdom of King Jiang Nan."
As soon as these words came out.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
No one spoke again.
Half a month.
The Great Holy Dynasty's army fights against the demon clan.
The battlefield is still in the mountains.
One can imagine.
After half a month, how many of these 10,000 troops are left?
Even annihilation of the entire army is not impossible.
And Wei Linjun.
It can be regarded as the strongest army in the entire Great Holy Dynasty!
The soldiers and armor are excellent, and they are brave and fearless of death.
"Ten thousand Weilin troops..."
Emperor Jianhong squinted his eyes and slowly rubbed his fingers between his sleeves.
His idea is simple.
At this point, all the Great Holy Dynasty can do is try its best to recover the losses.
It is currently known that the Great Holy Dynasty has lost Huang Yuangao's life.
Martial arts map of Fengqi Road.
There is also a high probability of losing the 10,000 Wei Lin Army in the future, which is a huge sum of money for the national treasury.
and losses during sieges.
What can be recovered from all these losses is:
The face of the emperor.
The dignity of the Great Holy Cathedral.
There are also two cities that can contain the throat of the demon clan, Wanyao Mountain.
Emperor Jianhong was thinking silently.
"No way!"
Dad stood up at this time.
He looked at Tian Ji righteously, with a gloomy look in his eyes:
"Mr. Wei Guo, the Wei Lin Army is the ace army passed down by our Great Holy Dynasty when we fought with Taizu. Do you know the price of 10,000 Wei Lin Army who want to be well trained and able to go into battle?"
"The cost of a daily training medicinal bath alone is not much less than 300,000 troops and horses."
"Is this kind of Wei Linjun going to be abandoned?"
The father's eyes flashed: "I, the Ministry of War, are the first to refuse to agree!"
"Your Majesty, if you want these ten thousand Weilin troops to go to the border, you can."
"Huh?" Emperor Jianhong looked at his father calmly.
"Behead the minister first."
There was no trace of fear on Dad's face.
……
This just doesn't make sense.
Emperor Jianhong's eyes darkened.
Just when he wanted to get angry again.
A panting little eunuch came running all the way outside.
"Your Majesty, I have some important documents to report at the northern border."
This sound.
It attracted the attention of all the ministers in the Xiaochao Club.
Ji Qing......
Si Zhongxiao, the eunuch of Bingbi, remained silent, squinting his eyes and looking towards the eunuch.
Li Zhen, Dad, Duke Wei, and Lou Yingqi all looked puzzled.
"Come on."
Emperor Jianhong first suppressed his anger and looked at the eunuch calmly.
"Yes."
……
As Emperor Jianhong tore open the wax paint on the letter in his hand.
After opening the letter, read it word for word.
After reading it, Emperor Jianhong's body was shaken.
Then he suddenly raised his head and looked towards Tian Ji.
There was unconcealable joy in his eyes.
Weiguo Gong Tian Ji saw this look.
A possibility came to mind.
His eyes widened and he looked at Emperor Jianhong.
"Your Majesty...could it be...the Yuanyang Army..."
"Hahahaha!!!"
Emperor Jianhong's hearty laughter rushed out of the imperial study room in an instant.
He reached out and threw the letter in his hand to Tian Ji:
"See for yourself!"
Tian Ji did not dare to neglect and stepped forward to take the envelope.
When he saw [Annihilate four hundred and seventy enemies. Sixteen of our troops were killed and forty-seven wounded. 】
After this extremely exaggerated battle loss ratio, the pupils in his eyes were filled with shock.
"Gudong~"
A mouthful of saliva rolled down Tian Ji's throat and he swallowed it.
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
Followed by Tian Ji's hearty laughter.
After laughing, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Emperor Jianhong:
"Your Majesty!!"
There was even trembling in the voice:
"No more, five thousand! Only give me five thousand!"
When he said this, he couldn't help but feel excited and even walked back and forth:
"If we can train an army of five thousand, then the attack on the Southern King of Jiang Kingdom will be successful!!!"
"Offensive and defensive changes!!"
"Offensive and defensive changes!!"
"Hahaha!! That boy really didn't brag!!"
"Your Majesty, this is a great achievement! You are worthy of the great achievement!!"
Tian Ji, the weather-beaten Duke of Wei.
After all, I lost my composure.
"What's wrong? This is..."
Li Zhen frowned slightly and looked at His Majesty and Duke Wei who were in ecstasy.
Only my father narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing the words "great achievements".
There was a flash of extremely sharp light.
“Reward!!”
Emperor Jianhong looked at Tian Jina who looked crazy, and had no intention of blaming Tian Jina for his disrespect in front of the emperor.
Instead, he showed a puzzling smile and said something even more puzzling:
"Reward Zeng Anmin!!"
"With this military formation, I will reward you for your military exploits!!"
"First give me a hundred catties of gold! Ten beauties! Thousands of pieces of cloth! Ten BMWs!"
"As for the reward..."
Emperor Jianhong touched his chin, and after thinking for a while, he looked up at his father:
"How does Zeng Aiqing think he should be promoted to an official?"
The corners of Dad's mouth curled up slightly.
When he was about to answer, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Your Majesty, can you let me know what exactly happened?"
Li Zhen stood up expressionlessly and stood between his father and Emperor Jianhong.
……
Dad looked at Li Zhen's back with great displeasure.
However, he was not in a hurry to speak, but waited for Emperor Jianhong to explain to Li Zhen.
Emperor Jianhong said with a smile: "Haha, I specifically asked to keep this matter secret. It is normal for the elder to not know about it."
"This happened during the last imperial examination. Zeng Anmin, the son of Zeng Shangshu, participated in the imperial examination of the Fantasy Formation..."
"I passed this army formation map to the border and asked Ji Qing to train the army..."
"Today, the fruits of the military formation have arrived."
"Our army has a great victory!"
……
Tian Ji also handed over the results of the battle at this time.
After Li Zhen read it, his slightly cloudy eyes narrowed slightly.
In the corner that no one can see, there is a dangerous light shining.
Finally, Li Zhen raised his head and looked at his father with a smile:
"Congratulations to Zeng Shangshu for getting this Qilin."
"I don't deserve this praise from Mr. Ge."
Dad modestly stroked his beard:
"The naughty dog is just a coincidence of random scribbling, not enough praise, not enough praise..."
It's just that his voice has clearly floated to the sky.
"Haha."
Li Zhen chuckled, and then slowly turned his eyes to Emperor Jianhong's face:
"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any need to be so anxious about Zeng Anmin's title."
……
As soon as these words came out.
The entire imperial study room fell silent.
Dad's hand stroking his beard stopped immediately.
He squinted his eyes and stared at Li Zhen's back.
