The hall was quiet, and only the messenger's breathing could be heard.

A great victory?

Zhao Zhen stood there, reached out and broke away from Chen Zhongheng's support, stared at the messenger and asked, "Tell me clearly."

The messenger gasped for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Xipingzhou rebelled, and someone assassinated Xiao Gu failed. Then Zeng Gong arrived, and immediately the whole army advanced to Xipingzhou..."

assassinate?

What a bold thing. Is this a collusion between natives and Jiaozhi people?

Others were probably angry about this, but Zhao Zhen made the right judgment from the perspective of the emperor.

"...These cave generals gathered more than 7,000 people, and our army had 17,000 people. Both sides encountered it. Guandiao decided that the enemy was cheating, and there must be ambush in the mountains and forests around him..."

Han Qi remembered the battle back then... it was a big victory at that time, right?

Right, it's a big victory and then a pursuit.

"...... Just one attack, the natives were defeated, and our army won..."

Han Qi's heart beat a little, and then his heart beat faster...

Great victory...chasing...

Then there is the ambush.

"...After defeating the natives, Guan Yuzhao ordered the order to turn to form a formation. As soon as the formation formed, the mountains and forests ahead rushed out of the Jiaozhi ambush..."

oh……

This sound is very annoying!

Zhao Zhen looked up and it was Han Qi.

Han Qi remembered the Battle of Haoshuichuan...

The pursuers found several big boxes in the middle of the road, so they were curious to open it, and then many pigeons flew out from it. The pigeons were the signal, and then the flag shook, and all the ambushed soldiers on both sides came out...

Then he was defeated. He still remembered that after retreating, he met the family of the fallen soldiers. Those people pulled the reins of his war horse, and some people summoned their souls in front of his horse: "You followed Han Zhaoyao to go to war. Today, Han Zhaoyao came back, but you died, Hun Xi returned... Come back with Han Zhaoyao..."

He remembered that when he heard these words, he couldn't help but feel creepy, as if there were countless dead souls behind him...

He bowed his head, and then tears fell.

After so many years, you can go back alone.

"…Jiaozhi people were dispatched in full swing, with more than 20,000 people, and their weapons were excellent, all of them were elite..."

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could be at the scene.

Han Qi raised his head, two drops of turbid tears were still hanging on his face, his face full of nervousness.

"When Guanzhao saw that the enemy had not yet established a stable foothold, he personally led the cavalry to assault, defeated the enemy's cavalry in one battle, and disrupted the enemy's front..."

"good!"

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "What a boy!"

He sent Chen An to just let the young man experience the difficulties of the southwest.

The first way to be an official is experience, and where does experience come from? It means to work everywhere and run around.

When I was young, I was running around and taking bold tasks. Only when I was in a high position in the temple can I plan and be calm and unhurried.

This is cultivation.

What's left is to chase it?

Zhao Zhen was happy and was waiting for the good news later.

The messenger's face was filled with admiration, "The enemy's front was in chaos, but Guandiao ordered the cavalry to withdraw. Everyone was puzzled. Then they found that the enemy's archers had formed a formation. If they were a little late, the cavalry would probably not be able to come back."

Zhao Zhen was originally happy, but when he heard this, he immediately praised: "You are brave and resourceful, brave and resourceful!"

"Then our army formed a formation, and the enemy was waiting for it to work, and immediately launched an attack..."

"Our army used spearmen to snipe the enemy in front, and the divine power crossbow first showed its power. The enemy suffered heavy losses. Then the archers fired volleys, and finally stabbed the spear..."

Through these narratives, it seemed that the battle appeared in front of Zhao Zhen's eyes.

Arrows were flying, countless people were rushing hard, and then they were stabbed into skewers in front of the spear formation. Blood was flowing on the ground, and the tender grass in early spring was greedily sipping the nectar liquid...

The howling seemed to be right in my ears...

"The enemy's aura was frustrated, and Shen Taizhao immediately led the cavalry to fight back... The enemy was defeated, and our army surrounded the left and right. Shen Taizhao led the cavalry to intercept. After a fight, more than a thousand enemy troops rushed into the mountains, but the Mangshan Army also chased in..."

This is to be killed!

"Then Guandai ordered the surrender, saying that the roads on Guangnan West Road were not smooth, and it would be best to have such labor that is not expensive..."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "That young man is unparalleled in business, and the same is true for national affairs. I think that if he is older, Bao Zheng should abdicate and give in to the wise, hahahaha!"

Bao Zheng was the three envoys, which means that Zhao Zhen believed that Chen An had the ability to manage finances in the country.

Han Qi was a little silent. He has always been famous for his military knowledge and is also happy about it, but today, his military knowledge seems to have become a joke.

From the messenger's mouth, we can know that Chen An was in command from beginning to end of this battle. From the beginning to defeating the natives, to the timely withdrawing troops and finally defeating the Jiaozhi people...

This step is very steady and almost impeccable.

Who knows the soldiers?

He was a little nervous.

"... More than 5,300 enemies were killed, more than 16,000 prisoners were captured, and more than 5,000 corpses were sent to the temple by the guest decree to build a temple in front of the mountains and forests. What a big temple..."

Zhao Zhen shivered, and Chen Zhongheng shouted: "Stop!"

Can you tell what makes people have nightmares?

Chen Zhongheng was afraid even if he thought about it.

More than 5,000 corpses were built into Jingguan. How big is Jingguan?

Like a hill.

He couldn't help but sneeze.

Zhao Zhen's face turned pale and said, "What are you doing with evil? Tell me."

The messenger was originally scared, but when he heard this gentle words, he couldn't help but cry, "Your Majesty is kind..."

Zhao Zhen looked pale and said, "Is there something going on later?"

Chen Zhongheng waved and asked someone to come in to guide the messenger out.

"that……"

The messenger suddenly remembered Chen An’s private explanation before leaving, and said, “When our army counterattacked, Zeng Xianggong and others were inspired, and they followed suit…”

Zhao Zhen was originally smiling, but his smile froze after hearing this.

Han Qi was even more stunned.

Damn it!

Is Zeng Gongliang on the battlefield?

Lao Zeng has gone crazy?

You are the prime minister!

Who has ever seen the prime minister take action?

You are giving me a problem!

Next time there is such a war, if I am present, will I have to fight with you?

But when he thought about it, he felt that this was a gimmick created by Zeng Gongliang, and the purpose was just to show his merits.

Yes, I became the prime minister, and Zeng Gongliang was not convinced, so he came to demonstrate with a gimmick that he personally took the initiative.

It's just a flowery air, it's useless!

He couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Zhen also thought of this, and the king and his ministers looked at each other and nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

If I wanted to make a gimmick, then I would let him watch the show.

"…Zeng Xiang killed one person...The comforting envoy Xiao Gu killed one person..."

Han Qi's eyes widened.

Did Lao Zeng kill someone?

You're coaxing me!

Zhao Heng was also stunned. No, he was shocked and at a loss.

Before the Song Dynasty, there were aristocratic families and gentry. Now there are aristocratic gentry, but there are no aristocratic families.

But the officials, a group with many privileges, took over the guns of the aristocratic family, continued to monopolize power, and continued to control the steering wheel of the old and broken car in the Song Dynasty.
