Chapter 534 Good news in return
Lin Taibao also had a smile on his face. Even though his heart was extremely dark, he could only celebrate this grand occasion with the ministers duplicitously.
No matter how fierce the fight is in the court, when it comes to hatred between country and family, we must be on the opposite side.
At this moment, Emperor Liang's voice slowly sounded, and the originally noisy Chaohui Hall became quiet.
"If Qin Feng had not set up this pocket formation to lure the enemy deep into our country and fight decisively in our territory, it would not have been easy to defeat Beidi. After this battle, Qin Feng has made extraordinary achievements and will definitely leave his name in history. Now that the military reports have been sent back, Presumably Qin Feng will return to Beijing to receive the reward soon."
"Did the messenger mention this matter? It would be better for me to prepare in advance and hold a grand banquet in Kyoto to honor the heroes of the national war."
The atmosphere in the hall, which had been filled with laughter just now, gradually became serious.
Especially Qin Tianhu, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The person Emperor Liang mentioned just now was not Qin Feng alone, but the 'meritorious men of the national war'. This word 'men' contains countless profound meanings.
The three generals, Chaqi, Hussar, and former general, will naturally return to the capital to receive rewards. Once they return, they can't expect to leave the confines of Kyoto again.
Even on such a happy day, Emperor Liang did not forget to use his balancing skills.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone present were once again focused on the Director of the Ministry of War.
The chief clerk just answered truthfully: "Sage Qi, in addition to military reports, the messengers did bring back a lot of messages."
"Qin Qianhu will be away for a while, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."
Hearing this, Emperor Liang raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
The chief secretary's expression was complicated. He couldn't tell whether he was excited or nervous: "Since the beginning of the war, guards from the Tianji Battalion have penetrated into the enemy's territory and continuously attacked cities and villages in Beidi, causing chaos in the enemy's rear. Faced with the roundup from all sides, The guards of the Tianji Battalion were trapped on the boundary of Qingyu Mountain. Qin Qianhu personally led two hundred Qingqi to rescue them, but they were ambushed and plotted by the Night Owl, and they were trapped in Qingyu Mountain together. "
As soon as this statement came out, the scene was in an uproar.
The fact that Qin Feng was trapped in Qingyu Mountain has always been a secret. Not to mention the court, only a handful of people in Beixi County knew about it.
Qin Tianhu was instantly confused and exclaimed: "What?!"
"Feng'er is trapped in Beidi? Has the army gone to rescue?"
Lin Taibao, who was depressed, had bright eyes. If Qin Feng died in Beidi, it would be great news for the Lin family.
Emperor Liang's mood was extremely complicated.
Emotionally, he didn't want anything to happen to Qin Feng and he could return to Kyoto to be rewarded safely. But on the rational side, he was secretly happy about Qin Feng's dangerous situation. If Qin Feng really died in enemy territory, Emperor Liang would have one less henchman to worry about.
The chief clerk did not dare to hesitate and explained quickly: "Sage and Lord Qin, please rest assured that Qin Qianhu has returned to the north safely."
Qin Tianhu breathed a sigh of relief, and Taibao Lin's excitement, which he had finally ignited, collapsed in an instant.
Emperor Liang was the calmest: "It's good that Qin Qianhu is safe and sound, but I don't understand why Qin Feng was trapped in enemy territory a month ago and is only reporting back now?"
This was also a question raised by other ministers present.
Considering that Qin Feng is a son of the Ministry of War, the chief secretary of the Ministry of War couldn't help but feel proud: "There are two reasons. First, this is a military secret and cannot be spread to outsiders. Once Chen Si knows about this, he will definitely capture Qin Qianhu alive at all costs, and If we use this as a threat, then the war in the north will be in chaos."
"Secondly, Qin Qianhu was trapped in enemy territory a month ago, and his return will only happen in the past few days."
Emperor Liang became even more confused.
"You are making me more and more unpredictable. Is it possible that Qin Feng was trapped in enemy territory for a month?"
In front of Qin Tianhu, Emperor Liang couldn't speak clearly.
As everyone knows, the civil and military ministers present, including Qin Tianhu himself, were all murmuring in their hearts. After being trapped in enemy territory for a month, could they still come back alive? Simply incredible!
The chief clerk nodded solemnly: "Qin Qianhu was ambushed by the Night Owls and the Beidi Eagle Brigade, and had no choice but to retreat to Qingyu Mountain. Then he was besieged by tens of thousands of search and suppression troops. In the end, his whereabouts were exposed. Chen Si even mobilized three thousand Eagle Brigades and two thousand Snow Wolf Brigade, go to encircle and suppress us."
Hearing these words, gasps of cold air could be heard one after another.
Even Emperor Liang couldn't help sweating his palms.
Although the Tianji Camp guards were elite, they only numbered three hundred. Qin Feng went to rescue the Tianji Camp guards, but he only brought two hundred Qingqi with him.
Facing the siege of tens of thousands of troops, he was able to survive? This in itself is a miracle.
As for the Eagle Brigade and Snow Wolf Brigade...
The reputation of these two powerful forces in Beidi has long been famous all over the world. Take the most capable frontier army in the north as an example. In a field battle with the Beidi cavalry, ordinary cavalry can still compete with each other, but once they encounter the Eagle Brigade or the The Snow Wolf Brigade had no choice but to retreat, otherwise it would be unilaterally massacred.
According to the information obtained by Captain Hei, one hundred cavalrymen in Beidi can produce one elite, and among one hundred elites, only one is qualified to join the Eagle Brigade or Snow Wolf Brigade.
These two powerful cavalry teams are all veterans of many battles, the best of the best. Even the Beixi Black Cavalry, which Qin Feng spent a lot of money to build, could only win or lose in the face of these two powerful teams.
It can be seen that the two cavalry of Eagle and Snow Wolf are terrifying.
Emperor Liang couldn't help but sigh: "Qin Feng could actually escape from under the nose of five thousand powerful troops?!"
The chief clerk couldn't help laughing: "To be precise, they are eight thousand elites. The three thousand elites who had ambushed Qin Qianhu were already on their way to attack Qingyu Mountain. They suffered heavy casualties and were defeated. As for the tens of thousands of troops, they were defeated in half a month. The attack resulted in more than 7,000 casualties."
"Subsequently, Qin Qianhu led the surviving guards to escape from the Qingyu Mountain with a golden cicada. Then he disguised himself as a caravan and headed westward, passing through Beidi's no-man's land spanning 1,300 miles, reaching the territory of Gaoshan Kingdom, and returning via the road. I am at the border of Daliang."
"And... Qin Qianhu did not rush back to Beixi County to reorganize. Instead, he saw through Chen Si's last-ditch strategy and led the 83 surviving guards to garrison in the important border town. Joining hands with the border army, We defended the city and blocked the attack of Chen Si's 60,000-strong army. At this point, there are only thirty-one guards left in the Tianji Battalion."
After hearing Qin Feng's experience, every one of the civil and military ministers present had their mouths opened in disbelief.
Emperor Liang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Back then, he had been stationed at the border and fought bloody battles with Beidi soldiers and horses, but compared with Qin Feng, he seemed so childish.
For a long time, in the eyes of Emperor Liang, Qin Feng was just a man who was resourceful but not brave, and could only be called a counselor.
However, after this battle, Emperor Liang suddenly discovered that Qin Feng, who was talented in both literary and military skills, was not inferior in martial arts!
Incredible!
Not even the founding fathers of Daliang had such amazing achievements!
