"Jingyuan Victory! Jingyuan Victory! Jingyuan Victory!..."

The report of the border army's great victory echoed in the Golden Palace. It was supposed to be a historic moment when the whole country celebrated. At this time, all civil and military officials looked at the postman in a daze, wondering if they had called the wrong one.

We are all waiting for news from King Su, what are you calling for the Jingyuan Victory? Jingyuan is from Northern Qi, what does it have to do with King Su?

Even Song Ji was confused and didn't understand why he waited for such a news at this time.

Among the officials, only Xiao Chuyang showed a look of relief. When all the officials were confused, he asked:

"Say! What's wrong with Jingyuan?"

The postman knelt on one knee in the paper tube, his face still a little excited, and said loudly:

"On the night of May 11, King Su and King Su and his cavalry were raided at the Wangnan Pass of Northern Qi at night, and changed his cavalry to siege to the city. He captured the Wangnan Pass of Northern Qi's gate in just one night, captured the enemy general alive, and killed more than 10,000 enemies. Yuanzhou's troops were empty, and the general Tu Qianchu had already joined 30,000 troops to reach Yuanzhou City. At this time, the troops were probably at the city. A great victory was made!..."

After the rushing words were finished in an instant, spitting everywhere, and it was difficult to be excited.

The ministers were suddenly in an uproar, and only then did they understand what the "Jingyuan Victory" meant!

However, the court officials were not excited by the war report of expanding territory, but were confused and a little unbelievable.

Cui Huailu, who had been working with the emperor for many years, jumped out first and said angrily:

"Nothing nonsense, how could Xu You lead troops to attack Northern Qi? You..."

Speaking here, the words came to an abrupt end.

The civil and military officials also stopped and felt something was wrong.

Cui Huailu was just nonsense. King Su guarded the northwest and connected with the left prince of Northern Qi on its entire line. He was originally fighting with Northern Qi. What does Xu You mean that how could Xu You lead troops to attack Northern Qi?

Xiao Chuyang frowned and looked at Cui Huailu in a blink of an eye:

"Mr. Cui thinks, where should King Su lead his troops to attack?"

“…”

Cui Huailu held his mouthful of old blood in his chest, glaring at Xiao Chuyang who was causing trouble, but couldn't speak.

Everyone has been waiting in Chang'an City for three days. What are they waiting for?

Wait for King Su to lead his troops to attack Chang'an or retreat.

King Su's son has killed the emperor, and the whole family is about to be executed. He will lead an army of 80,000 out of Qinzhou. If he doesn't come to Chang'an, where else can he go?

Even if Xu You is a fool, he can't be thinking about fighting Northern Qi at this time. What is he trying to do?

All the civil and military officials knew about this, but news from the front line had already spread. King Su led his troops to attack Northern Qi, which meant that he had not rebelled. Since he had not rebelled, he could not slander King Su in the court.

Even if they don’t even want their son, they will be executed when they come back, and they will run to fight Northern Qi. What are you doing to me?

“…”

All civil and military officials, kings, princes, generals and ministers were all confused and could not understand the whole story of this matter even if they died...

--------

And the Black City, thousands of miles away, between the yellow sand, is far more furious than the Dayue Court.

Jiang Nu, the left prince of Northern Qi, directly overturned the table between the handsome tents, looked at the group of strategists standing there with a grim expression, gritted their teeth and cursed:

"What's going on with this? How could Xu You attack Yuanzhou? His son even killed the emperor. He took an army of 80,000 out of Qinzhou and refused to go to Chang'an. He took a detour to beat me? Did I offend him? Did I kill his son? Is he sick?..."

The angry curses resounded throughout the tent, and there was a mess outside.

Chen Xuan's face turned pale and his head was full of sweat and kneeled on the ground:

"The prince calms down. Now is not the time to get angry. King Su and his army are 80,000 from Qingshui to take Wangnan Pass. Half of the troops on the south side were drawn to attack Shazhou. The defenders of Wangnan Pass were not prepared to watch the fire across the bank. They were broken by heavy troops overnight. If they did not turn back to rescue, Yuanzhou would be destroyed, and the northern desert plain would be the northern desert plain. Xu You could directly attack our Northern Qi Kyoto."

"Damn it!"

Jiang Nu raised his hand and slapped Chen Xuan in the face, cursing angrily:

"You asked me to go all out to attack Shazhou. Xu You ran to attack Yuanzhou. Now it's more than 600 miles away. How can I go back to help?"

Chen Xuan's mouth was bleeding and he knelt on the ground and said anxiously:

"We must return to help. After defeating Shazhou, Xu You will be lost at most. When Yuanzhou is defeated, our Daqi may be gone. We can't afford to replace it, Yuanzhou will not be lost!"

Jiang Nu was almost furious and raised his hand to point at Chen Xuan:

"Wangnan Pass has been defending for sixty years and Xu Lie has not been defeated. He was broken by you idiot, you..."

In anger, Jiang Bi wanted to draw his sword.

Many strategists rushed to stop him and asked Jiang Nu to withdraw his troops and return to defense, so that they would have to protect Yuanzhou before being punished.

Jiang Nuo had no choice but to throw the knife to the ground:

"Retreat the troops and return to defense quickly."

“Hurry quickly…”

------

At this time, in Chang'an, the civil and military officials finally came to their senses on the Golden Hall in the Imperial City.

Song Ji looked incredible and took a step forward:

"Wangnan Pass has been broken? The army has occupied Wangnan Pass?"

The postman was excited and held the paper tube high:

"It's true. After General Guo Zhongxian noticed something strange in Wangnanguan, he personally led his troops to support him. He piled up Jingguan outside the pass, and had the King Su flag in his hand. He ordered the last general eight hundred miles to return to Beijing to report. He really broke through the pass!"

"Wow—"

The civil and military officials of the court came to their senses only then. Many ministers gradually became excited and even forgot about what they had just happened, shouting, "Great victory, great victory."

Cui Huailu and the three dukes and nine ministers all showed shock and suspicion. If it weren't for the postman's statement that it was so certain, they would have thought that King Su was digging the tiger away from the mountain.

The importance of Yuanzhou is self-evident. It is the last springboard for Northern Qi to be inserted into the northwest, and it is also the national gate of Northern Qi. Once Yuanzhou is broken, there is no danger to defend the grasslands in the northern desert, and Yuanzhou is not broken. Northern Qi can command troops to leave the pass at any time, take Xiliang above and attack Guanzhong below, which can be said to be free to advance and retreat.

This land that must be fought for by military strategists was not even captured before Jiazi, and it was also the only state that Dayue confiscated.

Guo Zhongxian has always been responsible for the defensive line of Yuanzhou, while King Su's defense line is in Suzhou, Shazhou, east and west. However, there is no problem with King Su running to attack Yuanzhou.

If it were on ordinary days, King Su Xu You suddenly became nervous and broke Wangnan Pass, it would definitely be a scene of the whole country's celebration, because as long as Yuanzhou was defeated, the incomplete area of ​​Dayue's territory would be one Lingnan Road and the world would be unified. It goes without saying how tempting it is for a king. Song Ji could add "nine tins" to King Su.

But now is obviously not the time to break the barrier.

As soon as Xu Buling killed the emperor, King Su led his troops out of Qinzhou after receiving the news.

Why didn’t he come to fight Chang'an to save his son?

The crime of regicide will inevitably be reduced to the vassals and the whole family will be executed, and the son will be dead.

King Su was not careful about the court when he was brain-sick and went to attack Northern Qi silly.

What is the idea of ​​this? Only then can we do such a thing as sacrificing our whole family and fulfilling our loyalty to the country?

The ministers were making noise for a while, but then they fell silent. They still felt a little unbelievable that King Su ran back to attack Yuanzhou. There was no motivation and no reason. Why?

Cui Huailu was confused for a moment and then looked at the postman:

"Does King Su have letters?"

The messenger quickly opened the paper tube and took out the roll of paper inside.

Song Ji carried his hands on his back, clenched his fists tightly, and said in a deep voice:

"read."
Chapter completed!
