Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 332: chaos
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the hairpin!
Within ten days, the court received good news.
General Sun led his troops to pacify the chaos, won a great victory, recovered a county and killed two thousand people and bandits.
When the news of the good news reached the DPRK, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief, all beaming with joy.
Elder Qiao Ge personally went to Jiaofang Palace to announce the good news to Queen Qiao: "...General Sun is indeed a veteran who has gone through hundreds of battles. Although he is old, his bravery is the same as before. He led troops to capture a county, and the bandits were killed. Beheading more than 2,000 people. According to this, in less than a month, the chaos can be settled."
Queen Qiao was overjoyed: "Okay! This is really good! It's the reward for General Sun!"
Qiao Ge said with a smile: "What the mother said is true. When General Sun leads the army back to Beijing, the court will definitely reward him! And the fourth prince of the military governor has also made a lot of credit in this battle."
The Fourth Prince did not go to the battlefield in person, but he did a good job of the Overseer.
Queen Qiao was full of joy and did not care that the fourth prince was a concubine. She opened her mouth and praised the fourth prince.
Elder Qiao Ge was inconvenient to stay in the harem for a long time, and soon got up and retire.
Queen Qiao personally helped Qiao Ge Lao, and then whispered a few words: "Lu Shi is a general girl. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child. She has read the military book and knows how to use the military. She also thinks about the stability of the country and will only be able to do it that day. Fight according to reason. Father, don't care about the younger generation."
Speaking of this, Qiao Ge Lao was a little embarrassed, coughed and said, "I didn't think enough before. Although the princess is young and energetic, what she said always makes sense."
Facts speak louder than words.
General Sun settled the chaos so quickly, which shows how precise and sharp Lu Mingyu's eyes are. If the bandits grow, I don't know what the chaos will be like.
Queen Qiao gave her father Qiao a few words of kind words to appease her father, and sent Qiao Ge Lao out of the Jiaofang Hall.
Lu Mingyu brought a pair of children to greet her. When she saw Queen Qiao's joy, she couldn't help but smile: "The queen mother is so happy, could it be that there is some good news?"
The good news of General Sun's victory had already reached Lu Mingyu's ears. When Qiao Ge came to Jiaofang Hall in person, Lu Mingyu was also clear.
She deliberately avoided, and considered considerate. So that Qiao Ge's old face is not good-looking.
Queen Qiao cheerfully told Lu Mingyu the news of the victory, and praised Lu Mingyu fiercely.
Lu Mingyu didn't take credit and smiled slightly: "General Sun is a veteran, experienced and experienced. First, we will fight a big victory. Next, we should attack with all our strength and calm the bandits as quickly as possible. The mother will wait for the good news. !”
……
Lu Mingyu's expectations were not bad at all.
For the next few days, good news kept coming.
What's even better is that the Xingyang Army and the Puyang Army also have good news to the court. The army along the way has broken through the first city of Yan Kingdom.
Winning battles one after another has excited people inside and outside the DPRK, and walking up and down the East Palace is much lighter. You must know that the prince Li Jing accompanied the Xingyang army, and the Xingyang army made great contributions, which was naturally recorded on the prince's head.
In contrast, on the side of Emperor Yongjia and the eldest prince, there has been no battle report yet.
Queen Qiao was in a happy mood, and went to Shouning Palace with Lu Mingyu to say goodbye to the Queen Mother Zhao.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhao's first reaction was: "Didn't the emperor win the battle?"
In Empress Dowager Zhao's heart, her son is the most important thing.
Just like Queen Qiao, she is most concerned about the safety of her son.
"There is no news from Chu country for the time being. It is estimated that the good news is still on the way, and it will soon arrive in the capital." Queen Qiao said with a smile: "Mother, please wait a few more days."
The Empress Dowager Zhao nodded, then smiled and said, "The Zhao family's army and Xingyang's army fought together this time. This time, the Marquis of Puyang also made a great contribution."
Actually, this great victory was mainly due to the Xingyang Army. After the Marquis of Puyang led the army, he basically didn't make a move. Competing for merit, etc., happens at any time.
However, the battle against Yan and Chu had just begun, and the Empress Dowager Zhao blatantly claimed credit for her nephew, which was a bit domineering and ugly.
Queen Qiao gave Lu Mingyu a subconscious look.
Lu Mingyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with the eccentric and confused Empress Dowager Zhao, and smiled lightly: "There is an overseer in the army, and whoever has made military exploits will be recorded one by one. When the battle is over, it will be clear." /
If you want to compete with King Xingyang, you have to see if the Marquis of Puyang has such ability.
Queen Joe didn't say much.
It was Concubine Qin, worthy of being the direct aunt and niece of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and she opened her mouth and asked, "The fourth prince has also made a lot of contributions this time!"
Queen Qiao's heart was tired, and the smile on her face faded: "Yes, when General Sun leads his troops back to Beijing, the court will discuss the merits and rewards. Don't worry, no one dares to treat the fourth prince badly."
Concubine Qin touched a soft nail and said with a cheeky smile: "The concubine must first thank the empress."
Lu Mingyu couldn't get used to Concubine Qin's virtue of being good at being cheap, so he took up the conversation leisurely: "The fourth brother is from Concubine Qin, and is also the son of the queen mother. The queen mother cares about her son, why do you need the concubine Qin to thank him?"
Concubine Qin: "..."
Concubine Qin smiled shyly, and finally closed her mouth honestly. In his heart, he secretly calculated the return date of the fourth prince.
……
No one expected the situation to take a turn for the worse.
General Sun relapsed from an old injury, fell off his horse while chasing the enemy, and died on the spot. The death of the main general is a fatal blow to one's own military heart. Therefore, the army sent by the imperial court suffered its first defeat.
It's nothing to lose. The worst thing is that General Sun is dead. What to do next?
The bad news reached the court, Qiao Ge and other important officials gathered in Wenhua Hall, and invited Queen Qiao to discuss countermeasures. All the ministers were mentally prepared. When they saw Lu Mingyu helping Queen Qiao to enter the Wenhua Palace together, they ignored the practice of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics".
Old Qiao Ge frowned and said solemnly: "General Sun died from an old injury before the battle, and all the generals were headless. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was in the army and temporarily stabilized the military's heart."
Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Military Affairs took up the words: "At this time of the war ~IndoMTL.com~ it is absolutely impossible to withdraw the troops. It must be completely quelled by the civil unrest. The minister believes that the most important thing now is to choose another commander. "
The generals must be familiar with the running-in process, and it is not appropriate for the imperial court to send people there. The most important thing in a war is timing, and such delays cannot be tolerated.
It is best to choose a position above the general in the army.
Queen Qiao was restless and asked Yang Shangshu, "Who else can be the chief general in the army besides General Sun?"
Yao Shangshu immediately reported the names of the other lieutenants. These lieutenants were either inexperienced in leading troops or were old like General Sun, so they were not suitable.
Lu Mingyu's voice suddenly sounded: "Who is in charge of the army now?"
Yao Shangshu replied, "It's His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
At the critical moment, the fourth prince finally did not make a fool of himself, withstood the pressure and stabilized the morale of the army.
Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed: "Since the fourth prince can be in charge, he will be the chief officer, so there is no need to find someone else."
