"Great victory in Youzhou?!"
Li Youqing couldn't believe her ears. She jumped up and caused turbulent waves. All kinds of jewelry on the peony head were swaying non-stop.
"A great victory...?!"
The subordinate officials headed by Wang Sima looked suspicious, then shocked, dumbfounded, and a huge wave of panic arose in their hearts.
"A big victory?!"
The generals in the big tent even screamed in surprise.
What a great victory!
Who is the enemy Youzhou is facing? It is the Liao cavalry who have not lost a victory in more than ten years!
Even if they go to guard Youzhou, at most they can only guarantee to hold on to the city and stop the Liao army from going south.
As for winning a big victory, they couldn't even think about it.
Originally, they looked down upon Su Xian, a scholar, and thought it was a mistake for Li Youqing to send Su Xian to Youzhou. But as a result, they not only defended Youzhou, but also won a great victory!
Li Youqing was so excited that she could not calm down. She glanced at the generals lightly, without saying anything. She looked at the messenger and asked, "How did you win a great victory in Youzhou? What is the specific situation?"
The messenger bowed and said:
"Reporting to Your Highness, our army defeated 50,000 Liao troops in this battle. Among them, more than 10,000 enemies were wiped out and more than 30,000 were captured. The specific details have been explained in detail by Su Consulting in this letter."
With that said, the messenger respectfully handed over an envelope with both hands.
Dong Dianjun stepped forward to take it, secretly checked that there was no problem, and then handed it over to Li Youqing.
"Destroyed more than 10,000 enemies and captured more than 30,000 people?!"
Li Youqing took the envelope and exclaimed in surprise again. Even she couldn't believe such military achievements.
Since the current Queen ascended the throne, in the past ten years, their Daliang and Liao Kingdom have had small-scale conflicts from time to time, but without exception, their Daliang has been defeated every time.
The Liao cavalry were good at running thousands of miles, and their movements were like a gust of wind. They often harassed the border areas of Daliang and plundered the people of Daliang and their property...
The soldiers stationed at the border were unable to prevent this kind of harassment. Their ability to defend the border from being breached by the Liao army was their greatest achievement.
As for defeating or even capturing the Liao army, it is almost impossible for this to happen.
But Su Xian went a little too far this time!
They wiped out more than 10,000 enemies and captured more than 30,000 prisoners. It was like a groundbreaking victory. It was the first victory for the current queen since she ascended the throne, and it was also a great victory!
Just now, Li Youqing heard the messenger say "a great victory in Youzhou" and "a great victory". She was only shocked and excited, and had no specific concept.
Now, after knowing the specific number of enemies and prisoners annihilated, she truly felt what a "big victory" meant!
Holding the envelope in her hand, she felt a heavy weight.
She tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, and started reading from the beginning with a solemn and serious expression.
The big tent became quiet for a while.
Li Youqing read the letter quietly.
Wang Sima and other subordinate officers, as well as the generals, looked at each other, dumbfounded. They had not recovered from the shock of "annihilating more than 10,000 enemies and capturing more than 30,000 prisoners" after such a long time.
When I was young, Li Youqing finished reading it.
She handed the letter to Wang Sima.
Let the subordinate officers and generals take turns watching.
She couldn't suppress her ecstatic smile and said:
"I didn't expect that so many major events happened in Youzhou in just one or two days! Even Jimen Pass was breached by the Liao army, and the situation in Youzhou was extremely critical!"
"Fortunately, Su Wenyi has been strategizing and has already made a series of arrangements. Although there are emergencies, he handles them well and can take advantage of them..."
"..."
Li Youqing was really overjoyed.
While she was praising Su Xian, Wang Sima and the generals took turns reading the letter, and everyone had a detailed understanding of what happened in Youzhou.
】
Wang Sima and other subordinate officials were the first to react and praised Su Xianhao with a smile. He was obviously a scholar, but he could achieve such great achievements, which shows that this son is really extraordinary.
The generals looked embarrassed. Although they didn't want to believe it, they finally bit the bullet, put a smile on their faces, and praised Su Xian in front of Li Youqing...
Li Youqing was in a good mood, and the depression and worry caused by the Yellow River floods were swept away.
As her mental state improved, her whole person became brighter, her appearance was peerless, and her graceful and noble aura became stronger and stronger.
After all, although the Yellow River flood caused heavy losses, the disaster will eventually end slowly, the beam will always cross this hurdle, and time will eventually heal this scar.
But Su Xian's great contribution was of great significance to her.
This was the first step towards her burning ambition.
This step is very solid!
…
…
Youzhou.
After the battle, Su Xian went back to his room to rest and catch up on his sleep.
When I woke up, the lanterns came on and it was already dusk.
Su Xian got up, took a hot bath, and had a hearty meal, and his energy and spirit were greatly restored.
When he thought that he had overfulfilled the mission in Youzhou, he couldn't help but feel happy with a smile on his face.
He strolled to the lobby of Youzhou Yamen and learned about the handling of post-war matters.
The placement of the wounded, the repair of the city wall, the disposal of prisoners and other issues were all arranged in an orderly manner under the arrangements of Zhou Ji's office and others, so there was no need for Su Xian to worry.
"Su Yuyi, let's rest for one more day. After the people sent by the princess to take over the post-war matters in Youzhou arrive, we will set off back to Yingzhou. The princess is waiting to see you, this great hero!"
Qiu Dianjun appeared from nowhere and said to Su Xian with a smile.
Su Xian nodded and said:
"That's very good. The incident in Youzhou is over, and we should go back. As for the aftermath, as well as the reaction from the Liao Kingdom, it is better for more experienced people to handle it."
"..."
Su Xian walked around the Yamen again, followed by Yang Zhilan, and finally returned to the lobby of the Yamen and asked curiously: "By the way, why can't you see the mountain?"
Zhou Jishi said:
"The mighty Duke went to Jimen Pass to clean up the military affairs. He should be able to come back tomorrow."
"Oh." Su Xian nodded, and then asked: "Where is Youzhou Guard General Luo Gan?"
"Uh..." Zhou Ji's office hesitated a little, and his face turned a little ugly. Su Xian was suspicious and was about to ask, when Qiu Dianjun on the side suddenly said:
"Luo Gan, the guard of Youzhou, conspired to collude with the Liao people. I have ordered people to capture him."
"Luo Gan colluded with the Liao people?!"
Su Xian was shocked. He instinctively didn't believe it. After Qiu Dianjun and Zhou Ji's explanation, he finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that the problem lay with the concubine Luo Gan kept in the city.
It was precisely because of this concubine's tip that the situation last night was so tense.
At the same time, a concubine from the family of the governor of Youzhou was also found, but the concubine never succeeded, and the governor of Youzhou escaped by chance.
"Luo Gan was once a soldier under the mountain tent. Although he has a bad temper, he should be able to handle the big issues... He probably doesn't know that there is something wrong with that concubine."
Finally, Su Xian went to meet Luo Gan in person and asked him some questions.
Then he begged Qiudian Jun for mercy.
Qiu Dianjun agreed to let Luo Gan out of prison, but he must wear handcuffs and shackles, and he must follow Su Xian and others back to Yingzhou to wait for the princess's final fate...
After solving Luo Gan's matter, Qiu Dianjun suddenly remembered something and said with a smile:
"By the way, Su Yuyi doesn't know that the second arrester of the Prison Department, Thousand Faced Fox, helped us a lot last night. He also arrested Nalan Yan, the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and a young prince of the Liao Kingdom."
"Oh? Nalanyan was captured by the Thousand-Faced Fox? There was also a young prince from the Liao Kingdom at the same time?" Su Xian was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "The capture was good, but I don't know what's the secret behind it?"
