In the first battle of Zhao Zhengyujia's personal expedition, he defeated Beimang's famous general, the "White Horse Spear God", and avenged the fallen soldiers, which really boosted the morale of the entire Daqian army!
Not only that, the officers and soldiers of the three armies were also sincerely convinced by the emperor and supported the king of the country from the bottom of their hearts. In their eyes, Zhao Zheng had become a god-like figure!
Yu Fan saw with his own eyes that Zhao Zheng had transformed from a shrinking tortoise and useless emperor that everyone despised, into a great military emperor with great military exploits, and he felt extremely upset.
He gradually realized that it was becoming increasingly impossible for the Yu family to get rid of this thorn in their flesh. The wings of this puppet emperor were gradually becoming fuller. Behind him, he had the support and support of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
But the Yu family cannot get rid of Zhao Zheng, but Zhao Zheng can get rid of the Yu family.
In fact, from the end of the war, Zhao Zheng began to plan to clear out the Yu family's gang members from the court bit by bit. The first one to be operated on was the inciting Yu Fan!
In the evening, at the celebration banquet at Yanmen Pass.
Zhao Zheng was wearing a dragon robe and sitting in the middle. His concubine Yu Caiwei, who was graceful and charming, was wearing a purple skirt and was accompanying him obediently. Not far away, sitting there were generals such as Yu Fan, Xiong Wei, Cao Yun, and others. Soldiers.
According to the reports from the front scouts, the Beimang army suffered heavy casualties in this battle. They were killed and lost their armor. They fled for fifty miles before resetting their camp and stabilizing their position.
Hearing the news, the Daqian soldiers laughed heartily and had never felt so proud.
Zhenbei captain Cao Yun stood up with a cup in hand and said loudly:
"Your Majesty is so majestic! The first battle of the imperial conquest was fought with great vigor, which boosted our national prestige and revitalized the morale of our army! With this glass of wine, I would like to pay tribute to your majesty on behalf of all the soldiers! I wish your majesty an undefeated victory and a long life." !”
Before he finished speaking, the soldiers of the three armies behind him shouted in unison:
"I wish your Majesty everlasting victory and longevity!"
"I wish your Majesty everlasting victory and longevity!"
"I wish your Majesty everlasting victory and longevity!"
Zhao Zheng also smiled and drank the wine in the glass, then stood up and said loudly:
"Today's battle has indeed revived the morale of our Daqian soldiers! But we cannot be satisfied! We must pursue the victory! The Beimang army has only retreated fifty miles at this time. They may come back at any time and invade our territory again. Kill our people!"
"I must continue to drive them out, drive them out five hundred miles! Five thousand miles! Fifty thousand miles away! Even let them disappear from now on! Either surrender to our Daqian forever and never rebel for generations to come, or disappear completely to me. From now on, there will be no more Beimang in this world!"
These words made the soldiers excited and they raised their arms and shouted!
This is the ambition and domineering power that the Daqian Empire should have!
At this time, Zhao Zheng waved his hand to stop everyone's shouts and continued:
"I am taking command today, and I am taking the lead. But among my three armies, apart from me, there are two other outstanding generals. I can't be greedy for credit alone, and I have to give others some opportunities to perform. Let's do this, tomorrow How about letting Yu Fan, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, set an example and lead the troops in pursuit for fifty miles to take the head of the White Horse Spear God for me?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Fan, who was sitting next to him with his head down and drinking wine, twitched his lips and almost cursed her on the spot!
Let him lead the troops to pursue him for fifty miles to take the head of the White Horse Spear God?
Isn't this a joke?
After all, this guy relied on his father, Yu Zhong, to gain enlightenment. He has the connections to raise his chickens and dogs to heaven. When it comes to leading troops in battles, let alone being compared with Xiong Wei, who is also a Zhonglang general. I am afraid that even a random general or deputy general in Yanmen Pass They are all more powerful than him!
He himself knew that he was incompetent, so he immediately coughed and said in denial:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, it is difficult for the last general to seize this military merit. How about this, let Xiong Wei, the commander-in-chief of the left army, go out to attack the White Horse Spear God tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Wei immediately geared up and said:
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to go!"
"Look at the end, the general will drive straight in tomorrow and kill the barbarians from Beimang before returning!"
Zhao Zheng knew that Xiong Wei had this strength, but because of this, he couldn't let Xiong Wei go. This time, he wanted to let Yu Fan fight.
"Commander Xiong, according to your official position, you are only the Zhonglang General of the Zuo Army, but Yu Fan is the Zhonglang General of the Central Army. He is half a rank higher than you. You'd better not steal this limelight from him. I have made up my mind. This time, let Yu Fan lead the army to the expedition!"
Xiong Wei thought that Zhao Zheng was not allowed to take action because his official position was half a level lower, so he could only shake his head regretfully and said:
"In this case, the general can only wait until next time to fight again. This great opportunity should be given to Commander Yu!"
Yu Fan broke into a cold sweat on his forehead, wishing he could pretend to be sick on the spot, unable to evade it.
But the emperor's golden words asked him to fight in front of so many people. It was useless no matter how hard he tried to evade, so he had to bite the bullet and said:
"The last general has given orders!"
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Zheng nodded and smiled. He also deliberately hooked his second sister Yu Caiwei's chin with his fingers and whispered:
"My dear concubine, do you see that? I give priority to your brother for this great opportunity to make meritorious deeds. How about it? Do I treat your Yu family well?"
Yu Caiwei was a woman who didn't know much about the battle situation. She only knew that Daqian had won the battle today, and thought that the Beimang cavalry was vulnerable. Zhao Zheng really gave Yu Fan the opportunity to make a meritorious service this time, and he happily thanked:
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness! When I return to camp tonight, I will definitely repay Your Majesty in various ways."
However, what she didn't know was that Zhao Zheng's move completely pushed Yu Fan into the abyss of eternal damnation. The purpose was precisely to avenge Yu Fan for inciting people's hearts this morning!
Zhao Zheng's counterattack has now officially begun!
