Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Five

Eating and drinking, the Qihu army outside the city could not affect everyone's good mood at the moment. Although these days, the frenzied attack of the Qihu people has made the people of Yunzhou City can only sit in the city, but because the preliminary preparations are very sufficient, it has not had any impact on the lives of the people in Yunzhou City.

Moreover, the people who migrated from the north were also allocated enough houses, and received enough winter clothing, and the food was also rationed by the yamen officials, so that they would not be short of catties or two. Even the sound of fighting in the walls of Yunzhou City shook the heavens and the earth, but it did not have much impact on the lives of the people of Yunzhou City.

Of course, the sound of fighting and explosions at night still made many people very helpless, but they also knew that there was no way to do it, so they could only hope that those Qihu barbarians would retreat as soon as possible and return to Jingning, Yunzhou.

And just when the banquet was not over, a personal soldier of Duan Shaojun broke in with excitement that could not be concealed. "Childe, Daxi, Daxi, His Highness has already defeated the enemy's city, and the army of the East Road of the Qihu Barbarians was greatly broken, and the 50,000 Qihu Barbarians killed more than 10,000 on the spot, and more than 21,000 were captured, and the rest were scattered, and the Captain of the Left Metropolitan Boltie led thousands of remnants to flee eastward......"

Duan Shaojun directly threw down the wine cup in his hand, took it in his hand, and after looking at it carefully, he couldn't help laughing out loud. "Happy, really happy, after this battle, I'm afraid that within ten years, it will be difficult to have the idea of invading the south again."

Many Yunzhou civil and military officers present were also elated. And General Chen Zhonglang, who had just finished inspecting the city wall and rushed to the banquet, was even more excited, so he picked up the wine jug and poured it so violently.

"Your Majesty is really wise and powerful, in less than ten days, with 80,000 soldiers and horses, he strangled nearly 100,000 enemies of Qihu, such a feat, who else in the world is not convinced?"

Fang Lang shook his head, his face full of disbelief, "God, by the way, how about your majesty's loss?" ”

"The great victory under the enemy's city, the number of casualties of our army does not exceed 2,000 ......"

As soon as these words came out, more people showed a bright smile on their faces and cheered again, yes, to be able to achieve such a record, only a small price was paid, for this kind of result, it was definitely a big victory.

Everyone picked up the wine cup at this moment, talking and laughing excitedly, and Duan Shaojun made a wine with satisfaction after three times with everyone, and then, his eyes rolled and glanced at the Fang Lang general, and then he cleared his throat and walked to Fang Lang General and Duan Shoujian with a smile.

"General Fang, this time His Majesty's army has won, presumably General Fang must be very happy, right?" Duan Shaojun asked towards General Fang Lang.

"This is natural, the last general is also a soldier of the Tang Army, Your Majesty has won such a big victory, as a Tang Dynasty soldier, the last general is naturally honored." Fang Lang Jiang looked at Duan Shaojun who was standing in front of him, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, well, for Fang Lang General, he always felt that this hypocritical Duan Da Gong must have bad intentions.

Duan Dagongzi continued to smile and talk nonsense in front of General Fang Lang and Duan Shoujian for a long time, and then said slowly. "Now, you must have seen that in the Yunzhou defensive battle, Your Majesty's strategy has obtained most of the results, and now, all you are worried about is the seventy or eighty thousand Qihu barbarians under Yunzhou City......"

"Now Your Majesty has taken the enemy city, and if you want to come in a few days, you will rush to the city of Yunzhou, but Your Majesty has used troops again and again, although it has won many great victories, but in order to guard so many prisoners of war, it will inevitably be insufficient in troops, and it will be difficult to completely form a siege of the 80,000 Qihu soldiers and horses under the city......

"Therefore, this official has proposed a new strategy to His Majesty, that is, to ask many states and counties around my Yunzhou to send troops and horses to help, so as to trap Moli Khan's soldiers and horses......"

As soon as Duan Shaojun's words came out, General Chen Zhonglang praised him again and again, and Ge Hanlun also frequently bowed his head, as for Li Xuan, he also felt that he was very convinced. "Yes, yes, Brother Tai is really clever, if this is really the case, then there is a great possibility that the 80,000 horses of Moli Khan will be left under our Yunzhou City, deserved, deserved!"

"Your Highness thinks it's good, doesn't you? However, now that His Majesty is not here, this official would like to ask His Highness to come forward and call on the states and counties around Yunzhou to send troops to Yunzhou in your name, and the troops will besiege Moli Khan. Duan Shaojun walked to Li Xuan's side and sat down, raised his eyebrows and explained.

"This must be no problem, brother, you have finished writing and bring it over, little brother, I will use it for you." Li Xuan naturally understood what Duan Shaojun meant, that is, to stamp the seal of His Royal Highness King Jin on those pigeon letters.

Fang Lang Jiang couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Duan Shoujian, and Duan Shoujian said with a strong smile. "That Lord Duan, this is an excellent method, but now that my Yunzhou City is surrounded by enemies, if I want to go out of the city to deliver a letter, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, even if I can get out of Yunzhou City, but if I want to rush to various states and counties, this time and again, it will take a lot of time, and at that time, maybe those reinforcements will only be able to rush into the air......"

"Captain Duan, you, this is a way to look at our Yunzhou with old eyes." After Duan Shaojun and Li Xuan glanced at each other, they laughed out loud. Instead, the swarf and Fang Lang will smile inexplicably.

Li Xuan glanced at Duan Shaojun, and then he looked at Duan Shoujian and Fang Lang proudly. "The two of you must not know that if you want to deliver the news in the past, you can only rely on manpower or horses to deliver the news, but we in Yunzhou don't need to do this......"

After hearing that Yunzhou was using carrier pigeons that traveled thousands of miles a day effortlessly, Duan Shoujian and Fang Lang were speechless, and they couldn't imagine how this Duan Grand Prince could come up with such a magical method.

"And unlike those nocturnal messengers who carry messages by human and animal power, carrier pigeons do not need to have a road, as long as they are not at too high altitudes, they can travel in a straight line, so their speed is far more than eight hundred miles to expedite ......."

"In addition, you must not know that in many states and counties around our Yunzhou, there are pigeon stations built by Brother Shaojun, and even Jinyang, as well as the imperial capital, and even Jiangnan, which is thousands of miles away, there are also pigeon stations established by Shaojun, and if you want to exchange news with Lanting County in Jiangnan, it will only take two or three days to come and go......

Listening to Li Xuan's words, Duan Shoujian and Fang Lang didn't even have the strength to say words of admiration, the important thing is that Duan Shaojun's method is no longer a means that ordinary people can imagine.

"That's really great, if you can really notify the surrounding states and counties in time, I believe that the Zhuzhou Assassin Shi Taishou will be very willing to come over to add icing on the cake......" Fang Lang will be strong for a long time before he can beat his spirit, haha smiled.

"This is natural, however, the previous move of sending carbon in the snow in Suzhou, Your Majesty knows everything, and when you talk about meritorious deeds in the future, you will definitely not miss this part." Duan Shaojun nodded, looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

Fang Lang couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, but after seeing Duan Shaojun's harmless smile and then looking at Li Xuan, who was laughing heartily next to him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and bowed his head again and again to show his approval.

After Duan Shaojun's gaze was removed, Fang Lang pointed his middle finger at this sinister and cunning guy in his heart, Damn, grandma, this guy just thought of this idea, I'm afraid he had already planned it before.

Now I say it, what is it for, but I just want to take advantage of the growing power of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang and the opportunity of Yunzhou's great victory to summon the surrounding states and counties of Yunzhou to express their submission. If you don't accept it, then you will definitely not have a good life in the future.

Although Princess Zhaoyang is not the kind of person who is scheming, the problem is that Duan Shaojun is this product, and he only brought it up at this time, and the implication is naturally self-evident.

But then again, it has reached the current situation, even if the adults have any thoughts in their hearts, it is useless, after all, compared to Li Youwen, who is now in the limelight, whether it is Li Xuan, the king of Jin, or other princes, when the Tang Dynasty is in crisis, nothing brilliant has been done.

Only Li Youwen has single-handedly resisted the Tang Dynasty's fierce rival Qihu, and under the condition of insufficient troops, he has won great victories repeatedly, Fang Lang will believe that as long as these news spread, then it will inevitably shake the world, and it will also shock many people with ulterior motives who have gradually become dissent.

I believe that no one wants to become the next target of Li Youwen, a fierce woman, just like his top boss, Duan Yuanzhong, the envoy of Shuozhou Jiedu, will definitely make a wise choice after knowing the battle situation in Yunzhou.
