An emergency report instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Emperor Jing leaned forward and said eagerly: "Come in and talk!"
The eunuch who reported the news got the answer and immediately walked into the palace with quick steps.
He lowered his head and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Yishun has come to report that Mr. Cui Jun was personally involved in the battle. During the battle with the enemy, he was hit by an arrow and died."
Emperor Jing stood up suddenly, looked directly at the eunuch who delivered the order, and said word by word: "Send it over, I want to see it myself."
The hearts of everyone present were tugged.
Even Fang Zhengyi was like this.
Cui Jun was supposed to supervise the army, and even he was personally involved in the battle formation. This shows how serious the situation has become?
Could it be that the nearly 20,000 troops were wiped out by the natives?
Emperor Jing took the report and read the contents over and over before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he sat on the dragon chair and slapped the armrest fiercely, saying angrily: "Cui Jun misunderstood me!"
The ministers below were startled by his sudden reaction, and felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Cui Jun is dead...but he still needs to be scolded like this. What happened?
Emperor Jing glanced at the ministers and felt a little regretful.
Although Cui Jun died, he also died on the battlefield killing the enemy.
It would be a bit harsh to say this.
After regaining his composure, Emperor Jing sighed: "The war in Yishun was not going well. The natives harassed Shanweicheng several times in an attempt to lure our army to take the initiative. Cui Jun was eager to win and took the initiative to lead his troops on the expedition and lost his life."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Cui Jun has no friendship with him, and he has no feeling about whether he will die or not.
But this emergency report was obviously sent before Zhou Tie and the others arrived at the scene, which meant that the people he sent had not yet received any news.
It's just that the current war situation is not optimistic.
Li Yansong asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the current situation is like on the Yishun front line?"
Emperor Jing shook his head: "The natives are just a small group of harassers, taking advantage of the convenient location to deal with our army. The current situation is probably going to continue to be a stalemate."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dongxiang said: "Your Majesty, why not continue to increase the number of troops and capture it in one fell swoop?"
"This battle is not only related to the safety of the south, but other small countries south of Yishun are also paying attention. If it continues to be delayed... I am afraid that the imperial court will be disgraced."
"I think what Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, and the city is only in compliance. We cannot delay our great success, otherwise the reputation of the court will be damaged and it will be too late to regret."
"I second the proposal."
Emperor Jing lowered his head slightly, looking at the urgent report that had just arrived, feeling a little tangled in his heart.
The losses in this battle were indeed too heavy.
Originally, many people had been killed and injured in Shanweicheng, and the subsequent cost of mobilizing nearly 20,000 troops was even higher.
But if we continue to mobilize troops according to the current situation, we are afraid that we will have to pay a heavy price to capture Yishun.
The best strategy is to wait for the natives to run out of food and mobilize in a large scale before fighting to the death.
However, although the natives are not good at farming, they are also very good at relying on the weather.
Who knows when to take the initiative?
It's not impossible to wait.
If it wasn't a problem before, but now the court's face has been lost, is it still necessary to lose it again and again?
The hall fell into silence for a while.
Only Li Yuanzhao and Fang Zhengyi were winking.
After a long silence, Emperor Jing finally spoke: "The situation of Yishun..."
"Urgent report! Urgent report from Yishun!!!"
Just as a few words popped out of Emperor Jing's mouth, another voice came from outside the palace.
Everyone was surprised and looked outside the palace.
I saw another eunuch standing outside the palace door panting, but with a bit of joy on his face.
The eunuch who reported this was very happy.
Although the matter is of great importance, he must present it to His Majesty as soon as possible.
But the person who brought the news just now told him that it was good news, and he looked almost exhausted!
This shows how great the good news is! I will definitely be rewarded today.
The eunuch was happy, but everyone else was nervous.
I just heard bad news about Yishun, and now there is another urgent report. I can't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in my heart.
Could it be that Liao Qun was also defeated?
Emperor Jing even hurriedly waved: "What's the news? Bring it over quickly!"
Guo Tianyang hurriedly trotted down the steps and retrieved the report.
As soon as he got the urgent report, Emperor Jing glanced at it and was shocked.
can't read!
There are many words with unknown meanings in it!
What kind of hot air balloon, flying in the sky and setting fire...
But when he saw the end, Emperor Jing was shocked!
Overnight, as many as 8,600 enemy troops were wiped out, and the main force of the natives was defeated... Yishun no longer has any worries!
Emperor Jing was in a daze while holding this memorial, and did not react for a long time.
First, this sudden surprise was really too great.
This is like having a headache one second about how to solve an extremely difficult problem, and the next second someone tells you that the problem has been solved.
But this second point is somewhat untrue!
Although the problem has been solved, if someone says that there are gods in the sky to help, the authenticity will undoubtedly be greatly compromised.
Emperor Jing's mind was in confusion and he had not yet sorted out his thoughts.
The "mess" of forcing the enemy's main force into the walled city and then using a hot air balloon to drop kerosene cans from the sky kept running through his mind.
He could understand the first half, but the second half... he was completely confused!
Emperor Jing's performance made everyone present nervous.
Li Yansong couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Is this a good news or...?"
Emperor Jing came back to his senses, still feeling a little dreamy, and replied unconsciously: "A happy event, a happy event."
After saying that, he stopped talking.
Li Yansong felt a little confused and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what happy event is this?"
I can't even understand it by looking at it, let alone explaining it.
Emperor Jing shook his head, handed the report to Guo Tianyang and said: "Pass it on."
This memorial began with Li Yuanzhao and was circulated downwards in turn.
The first time he saw the memorial, Li Yuanzhao's heart began to beat violently.
The whole person was almost so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Success? The plan worked!
A look full of surprise shot towards Fang Zhengyi.
Looking at the prince's expression, could it be that one of his own has made a contribution?
At first, Fang Zhengyi didn't dare to confirm. It wasn't until the report was delivered to him that he suddenly understood.
The two looked at each other at the same time, their eyes full of excitement.
After the report was circulated, all the officials looked stupid. You looked at me and I looked at you.
The content inside may actually be ridiculous...
Seeing that no one was willing to speak first, Li Yansong bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, what was said in the report could not have been written by Liao Qun while he was drunk, right?"
Emperor Jing's eyes twitched, and he came to this conclusion after much thought.
How could a normal person think of attacking from the sky? Liao Qun must have been stimulated by Cui Jun's death to act like this.
Moreover, when the last memorial was written about Cui Jun’s death, it could be said that I burst into tears when I wrote it. There were still two drops of tears on the letter paper...
But Liao Qun is also a veteran who has fought with him for many years, so it stands to reason that he would not make such a stupid mistake.
Emperor Jing fell into deep confusion again.
Suddenly, a voice came from my ear:
"Father, this was not written by someone drunk, but by a real soldier from heaven!"
...
