Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Two

Duan Guixiong rolled his eyes, of course the old man knew that he couldn't lose Longyou, but the question was, compared with the imperial capital, could Longyou be more important than the imperial capital?

The old man has not thought about the possibilities and consequences that you guys said, but the question is whether it is useful to think about it? The Son of Heaven fell into the hands of thieves, the Tang Dynasty was not appeased, and the most important thing now is that the imperial capital must not be chaotic, if the imperial capital is also chaotic, the entire Tang Dynasty will definitely collapse in the shortest possible time.

"Alas...... Your Royal Highnesses are all in Jiangnan, and if one person comes to the imperial capital to preside over the overall situation, there will be no situation today. A minister said with emotion on his face.

These words immediately made several ministers look sideways, their expressions were vigilant, they were all loyal to different princes, and this person's words did speak their minds. It's just that what they hope for is for their master to appear in the imperial capital, and as for the other princes, it is better to continue to stay in Jiangnan like now.

"Old general, if you send a letter to Master Mengfu in person, let him release His Royal Highness King Xu back to the imperial capital, and with His Royal Highness King Xu presiding over the overall situation, then all subjects in the world can rest assured......"

"His Royal Highness King Xu? How can His Royal Highness King Xu be as wise and decisive as His Royal Highness the King of Shu, this is an extraordinary time, and he should do extraordinary things, His Royal Highness King Xu has always had a low vision, and put this Tang Dynasty crisis to survive......"

"That's enough, according to the official's meaning, it is better to let His Royal Highness the King of Jin enter the imperial capital......"

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is now trapped in Yunzhou, and Yunzhou is being attacked by the Qihu army, with His Royal Highness the King of Jin in charge, he can be unharmed, how can he leave lightly, according to a certain point of view, it is better to let His Royal Highness the King of Xianyang drive the imperial capital, the King of Xianyang has always held a heavy ......"

One after another, the ministers of civil and military affairs jumped out one after another, waving their flags and shouting for their respective masters, as if otherwise, there would be no way to show their loyalty in front of their masters in the future.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jiuling stood up helplessly and persuaded each other, but he persuaded this one and that one jumped out again.

And seeing the scene of the group of demons dancing in front of him, General Duan's face became darker and darker.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps coming in from outside, and then, Duan Guixiong saw that Ximen Zhongxiong broke in with an excited face, and after seeing the ministers present, he couldn't help but be stunned. Hey, what are these guys doing, one or two with a red face and a thick neck, how can they be like fighting cocks.

"It turned out to be Brother Ximen, why did you come?" After persuading for a long time, Zhang Jiuling, who couldn't make everyone stop after spending countless spitts, hurriedly greeted Ximen Zhongxiong and said. Then he came to Ximen Zhongxiong's side, lowered his voice and said the news quickly and quickly.

Ximen Zhongxiong couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news that Lanzhou Jiedu had made Li Yongda rebel and set himself up as king. No wonder Duan Guixiong sent someone to the mansion to ask him to come over and talk about it.

However, at that time, Ximen Zhongxiong happened to hear that a carrier pigeon flying from Yunzhou had arrived, so he was busy getting this, so he didn't come until now.

"Brother Zhongxiong, you're too late, when is this......" Duan Guixiong said with some unhappiness stroking his snow-white long beard.

And Ximen Zhongxiong smiled. "Xiaguan is indeed late, please don't blame the old general, because Xiaguan received a message from Yunzhou in the mansion, well, a big piece of good news, presumably you haven't known yet, so after a special confirmation, I rushed over, intending to share it with you."

"Great news, isn't it that our reinforcements have arrived in Yunzhou?" One of the generals asked, standing up. If you can get there in time, this is good news.

Ximen Zhongxiong shook his head, and then his gaze swept over the civil and military ministers in the hall, and then he said slowly. "Of course not, but Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang personally led a large army to annihilate the Eastern Route Army of Hassan, the eldest prince of Qihu, in one fell swoop in the Yunshui River Valley......"

"What?!" Old General Duan jumped up directly, and the other ministers of civil and military affairs were no better, and even some people's exclamations were accompanied by the sound of chickens.

"Brother Zhongxiong, this news may be confirmed?" Duan Guixiong took a deep breath, strode up to Ximen Zhongxiong, stared at him and asked. "This is a military matter, and there can be no jokes."

"Old general, a certain person who also knows the soldiers, how can he not understand the seriousness of military affairs? Old general, please take a look...... Her Royal Highness the Princess not only wiped out the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Grand Prince of Chihu in one fell swoop, but also captured His Royal Highness the Grand Prince. Ximen Zhongxiong took out the letter from his arms, handed it to General Duan, and said to everyone in the hall.

At this moment, everyone fell into a stupor, and the heart was even more surging, this, this is too fucking exciting, right?

I just heard that Lanzhou Jiedu made a rebellion and set himself up as a king, but as a result, Ximen Zhongxiong came out from here, bringing a news that also thundered everyone, Li Youwen had actually killed 40,000 horses on the other side, and captured Hassan, the prince of Qihu.

This, this woman is too tough, right? The thought popped into everyone's mind almost at the same time.

After Duan Guixiong looked at it carefully, he let out a long breath of turbidity in his chest, this time, he had to admit that he had indeed underestimated the little girl.

"Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang is so sharp, in just a few days after the reinforcements arrived, they had already destroyed 40,000 Qihu elite cavalry, and their own battle losses were less than 2,000, but they killed more than 15,000 enemies and captured more than 24,000 enemies......" Duan Guixiong shook his head in disbelief and handed the letter in his hand to the ministers who came over to read.

The news passed among everyone, and the quarrel seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and everyone was deeply immersed in the shock of the moment.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang is so powerful...... This, it's unbelievable. ”

"Such a major event will definitely not be deceitful, not to mention that General Zhang Heng and they are also involved...... It seems that this big win should be real. ”

"There was bad news before, and in the blink of an eye, there was another good news, which, this is really a mixed blessing."

These ministers are talking a lot, and they really don't know what to say. Li Youwen won such a hearty victory, for them and for Datang, it is definitely an exciting thing, and it is also good news for the states.

However, Li Youwen obtaining such a minister will definitely make her prestige rise more and more, so it will be more and more difficult for other princes and highnesses to get close to that position.

Coupled with the news of Li Yongda, the envoy of Lanzhou Jiedu who was in Lanzhou at the moment, the minister didn't know what kind of expression to use to describe their mood at the moment.

However, with this good news, it made some ministers who were not so selfish in their hearts breathe a sigh of relief.

"Old General Duan, this news must be publicized quickly, so that the imperial capital, no, not only the imperial capital, but also many surrounding states and counties must know this good news. In this way, it can not only appease those soldiers and civilians who are loyal to Datang, but also deter those with ulterior motives. ”

"Yes, that's the truth, does the old general think so?"

Duan Guixiong stroked his long beard and bowed his head slightly, approvingly. "Yes, this is indeed the truth, immediately take the good news and copy a thousand copies, and post it in every square and alley in the imperial capital, in addition, the order post station will be immediately transmitted to all states and counties, and boost the morale of my Tang army and people."

"By the way, tell the envoy of Longxi Jiedu, let him resist the rebels in Nalan no matter what, and the court will immediately transfer money and food to him, of course, don't forget, let him also know the good news of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang's victory over Qihu, which can be regarded as encouraging him......" In fact, it is also a warning, but Duan Guixiong is not easy to say.

Seeing the gradually relaxed faces of these people, Duan Guixiong couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, yes, according to this, I am afraid that his stupid son-in-law's hope of being able to ascend to that position is becoming more and more slim.

Let's go, now that the matter is now, naturally I can only take one step at a time, but then again, Li Youwen is so powerful that in such a short period of time, she will exterminate the 40,000 Qihu elites, such a means that the old general Duan, who has always used soldiers and composure, thinks that he can't do it.

And once Li Youwen's mighty and domineering victory is publicized, then her steps towards Her Majesty the Empress can be said to be a little more stable. But the question is, what can you do knowing this?
