"A big victory?" The civil and military ministers in the main hall did not react for a while, and they all looked at the guard who rushed into the hall to report the news, and today's battle report about the Western Expeditionary Army made everyone a little dizzy.

"Suffered!" Li Yuntian's face sank, knowing that Song Hai was more than auspicious this time, Blue Leaf City was the most important city in the Yarkand region of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the army of the Timurid Empire would definitely arrange heavy troops to defend it, and it would not be easy for Song Hai to capture it.

But Song Hai's good news has been sent now, which means that he did not take much effort to capture Blue Leaf City, this situation is extremely abnormal, could it be that the army of the Timurid Empire took the initiative to abandon the Yarkand region of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate?

Li Yuntian didn't think so, after all, the Timurid Empire's troops that had now entered the Eastern Chagatai Khanate were only 200,000, and there were still 300,000 Timurid Empire's troops ready to go, so how could he abandon Lanye City, an important town in the Yarkand region?

In this way, the behavior of the Timurid Empire's army to abandon Blue Leaf City is unreasonable, and the so-called rebellion must be demonic, if it is connected with the Northern Yuan army's sudden attack on Yang Sanyu, then the Timurid Empire is likely to launch a large-scale counterattack against Song Hai.

And Song Hai was bound to be more contemptuous of the Timurid Empire's army after capturing Blue Leaf City, and the Western Expeditionary Army would also have arrogant emotions, which would also give the Timurid Empire an opportunity.

In fact, Li Yuntian would rather Song Hai lose a battle in Blue Leaf City, so that Song Hai would become wary of the Timurid Empire's army, and maybe withdraw from the Yarkand region.

"What did you say?" The Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned for a moment, then stood up from her seat and looked at the guard who was kneeling in front of the hall with some excitement and asked.

"Empress Dowager, the Duke of Wu sent someone to send an urgent battle report, our Western Expedition Army broke the defenders of West Chagatai in Blue Leaf City, annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, and its remnants have fled in the direction of West Chagatai." The guard replied loudly with both hands in his hand holding the battle report in his hand.

"Wu Guogong defeated the army of Xichagatai!"

"In this way, Wu Guogong will be able to free up his hands to go back and forth to deal with those Northern Yuan soldiers."

"The danger in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty can be solved!"

"Wu Guogong is really powerful, and if he wants to come to the Western Chagatai Khanate, he will not dare to invade the Eastern Chagatai again."

"It's better to let Wu Guogong take advantage of the situation to march and occupy Xichagatai, and let all the countries in the world know the consequences of daring to offend my great authority."

……

With a bang, the hall suddenly exploded, and the civil and military officials couldn't help but talk about Wu Guogong's great victory in Blue Leaf City one after another, and they all looked excited, and the haze caused by Yang Sanyu's defeat before was swept away.

The Empress Dowager Zhang didn't care about the noise in the palace, and waved her hand to the attendants standing under the high platform, and one of the attendants stepped forward to take the battle report, and bowed down with both hands in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, which was opened by two chamberlains for her to read.

Could it be that Li Yuntian's guess was wrong? Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao glanced at each other suspiciously, and their mood became a little cold: If Song Hai defeated the Timurid imperial army, then as long as he returned to the division to attack the Northern Yuan army, the crisis in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty would be solved.

Zhang Fu, who had a lot of experience, frowned and looked at Li Yuntian, seeing Li Yuntian standing there with a cold expression, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on his face, and then he shook his head helplessly and sighed secretly, it seems that Song Hai's western expeditionary army is also in danger.

Zhou Zheng was the same as Li Yuntian, the expression on his face was very solemn, Li Yuntian had talked to him about the situation in the Western Regions, so he knew the ambition and strength of the Timurid Empire better than outsiders, so in his opinion, Song Hai's victory was too easy, and there must be deception in it.

It's a pity that Song Hai didn't see it at all, otherwise he wouldn't have sent this good news with great fanfare, presumably the sergeant who sent the good news spread it all the way, and now the people in the villages and towns along the way from Jiayuguan to the capital already know about the great victory of the Western Expeditionary Army in Blue Leaf City.

Li Yuntian originally wanted to raise objections to the victory of the Western Expeditionary Force in Blue Leaf City, but when he saw the face of the Empress Dowager Zhang's face filled with excitement, he hesitated, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Wu Guogong really lived up to the high expectations of the mourning family." After reading the good news, the Empress Dowager Zhang was in a happy mood, and couldn't help but praise Song Hai loudly, Song Hai's victory in Blue Leaf City was equivalent to reversing the unfavorable situation of the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions all of a sudden, and the initiative was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to say that the defeat of Yang Sanyu made the Empress Dowager Zhang feel extremely low, and now Song Hai's big victory swept away the unhappiness in her heart in one fell swoop, making her feel very comfortable now.

"Your Majesty, Wu Guogong has made a great contribution this time, and he will be rewarded on the day when his class teacher returns to the court." When she was in a happy mood, the Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but smile and said to the orthodox emperor.

"Grandma Huang can rest assured, her grandson will definitely reward Duke Wu." The Orthodox Emperor nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Li Yuntian, "It's just that in this case, does the Ming still want to send reinforcements to Guanxi?" ”

"It is not easy to mobilize the army, and now that Wu Guogong has achieved a great victory, it is better to put aside the reinforcements for the time being and wait and see the situation in the Western Regions." The Empress Dowager of the Zhang family only remembered the matter of reinforcements at this time, and Li Yuntian had already arranged reinforcements, so she said to the orthodox emperor after a deep sigh.

"What the imperial grandmother said is very true, and the grandson also thinks so." The Orthodox Emperor smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said to Li Yuntian, "King Zhongwu, the matter of reinforcing the Western Regions will be put aside for the time being, and a decision will be made after the battle situation in the Western Regions is clear." ”

"Obey." Li Yuntian did not argue at all, and quietly accepted this holy decree of the orthodox emperor.

In fact, the orthodox emperor did not want Li Yuntian to go to the Western Regions, firstly, because the environment in the Western Regions was harsh and the war situation was dangerous, and secondly, he hoped that Li Yuntian could stay in the capital to teach him his studies, and he benefited a lot from Li Yuntian.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the ministers feel that for the sake of safety, they want to let the 150,000 reinforcements be assembled first, and if the situation is different, they can attack at any time." Then, Li Yuntian looked up at the Orthodox Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family, and said in an orderly manner.

When the orthodox emperor heard this, he couldn't help but look at the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was too young to recruit in person, so he needed the Empress Dowager Zhang to give him advice.

Although the Empress Dowager Zhang thought that Li Yuntian's move seemed to be a bit unfounded, Song Hai even defeated the army of the Timurid Empire, not to mention the small Northern Yuan.

However, Li Yuntian's suggestion is not unreasonable, besides, since Li Yuntian has already opened her mouth in the main hall, how can she refute Li Yuntian's face in public, no matter how to say that the great merit of the Western Expeditionary Army should be Li Yuntian's right, because Li Yuntian is the best candidate to unify the army, if Li Yuntian leads the army, there will definitely be no defeat in Blackwater City.

Moreover, if Li Yuntian had not established a systematic and perfect logistics support line, the Western Expeditionary Army's trip to the Western Regions would have been full of ups and downs, and it would definitely not have rushed to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in such a timely manner.

"I'm going to play what you're doing." Therefore, the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family bowed slightly to the orthodox emperor as soon as she groaned slightly, and the orthodox emperor immediately said to Li Yuntian in a loud voice.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Li Yuntian bowed to the orthodox emperor when he heard this, and said loudly, this is the only thing he can do now.

After retreating from the court, the civil and military officials walked outside the palace in groups of three or five, discussing with great interest what happened in the Taihe Hall today, and it is really appropriate to describe it with twists and turns.

Who would have thought that Yang Sanyu would be defeated under Blackwater City, making the situation in the Western Regions extremely critical in an instant, and who would have thought that Song Hai would win a big victory in time to save the defeat.

If Song Hai's victory was delivered to the capital before Yang Sanyu's defeat, I am afraid that the mood of the Empress Dowager Zhang would not be so comfortable now.

I'm afraid this is fate, Song Hai's great victory report is impartial, and it happened to appear when the imperial court was preparing to send reinforcements to the Western Regions, which made the victory of Blue Leaf City very important, and Song Hai's military exploits were magnified.

I am afraid that the happiest people on the scene are those founding nobles, you must know that Yang Sanyu is the Jing Nan noble of Zhang Fu's family, and now he is defeated in Heishui City, and he has lost the face of Jing Nan Xungui.

The mood of the new upstart in Jingnan was a little low, Song Hai's victory was in stark contrast to Yang Sanyu's defeat, which made them feel gloomy, you must know that Yang Sanyu was a fierce person in Jingnanxun, but the result was a fiasco.

"King Zhongwu, do you think that Duke Wu can defeat the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the Western Regions?" Li Yuntian and Zhang Fu discussed the battle situation in the Western Regions in a low voice as they walked, and as soon as they walked out of the palace gate of the Taihe Palace, they surrounded the Jing Nan Xun nobles who were gathered outside the hall gate to discuss, one Jing Nan Xun asked a little anxiously, and the others showed concerned expressions on their faces.

When it comes to understanding the Western Regions, no one in the Ming Dynasty can match Li Yuntian, so these Jing Nan nobles want to hear Li Yuntian's evaluation of Song Hai's victory in Blue Leaf City.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fighters on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and it is not easy for this king to make judgments, and there will be results within a month." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and then left quickly with Zhang Fu, Zhou Zheng and others.

"What does King Zhongwu mean?" Looking at Li Yuntian's distant back, all the nobles couldn't help but look at each other, Li Yuntian said this is equivalent to not saying it.

"King Zhongwu, you don't seem to be optimistic about the victory of Wuguo Gong?" While walking, Zhang Fu asked Li Yuntian beside him with a smile, in fact, Li Yuntian's answer just now had already indicated his attitude, otherwise he would definitely support Wu Guogong to win this war.

"Taishi, there are still 300,000 troops in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate that have not moved, if Wu Guogong can take the lead in defeating the Northern Yuan, and then wave his army to fight a decisive battle with Eastern Chagatai, maybe there will be a chance to win, and now it seems that the news of Wu Guogong's defeat will come within a month."

Since there were only Zhou Zheng, Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao on the side, and there was no one else, Li Yuntian no longer hid it, and said after sighing.

"Alas!" Zhang Fu sighed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Wu Guogong was in a hurry, and he took pity on those children of the Western Expedition!" ”

Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes showed a look of surprise, and from Zhang Fu's words, the two of them heard it, it turned out that Zhang Fu was not optimistic about Song Hai defeating the Timurid Empire, but he didn't show it in the main hall.

From this point of view, Song Hai is in big trouble now, after all, the two people with the most profound military attainments in the Ming Dynasty are not optimistic about Song Hai, so Song Hai is going to be planted in the Western Regions this time.

Originally, Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao should be happy, but the two of them were not happy at all, just like Zhang Fu's previous sigh, Song Hai's defeat can be said to have collapsed in the Western Expeditionary Army, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers don't know how many of them are lucky enough to escape with their lives!
