Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 64 Great Victory

"Don't be discouraged, my lord. The difficulties are only temporary. I predict that the Tanghe Empire is exhausted, and now it's just a flashback. Although we are temporarily withdrawing from Wenning, we have given the Tanghe Empire's army a deep respect. I have learned a lesson from them. The losses of their two legions are not smaller than ours. If they want to take advantage of the victory and chase after them, they have to carefully weigh themselves. I have ordered Bi Xiao to stop the fifth army of the Tanghe Empire going south in the north of Baling, but the enemy used boats Lucky, I don't think the effect will be very good, we still have to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise once the enemy encircles us, we may not be able to break through." Ya Ning still had a calm expression on his face, but there was a trace of anxiety in his words.

"Damn the Taiping Sect people, they violated the covenant and stood still, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, one day I will let them suffer the consequences!" Lei Juetian said bitterly, and then turned his head and asked, " Are we ready here?

"Don't worry, my lord, the arrangements have already been made. We have people in and out of the city to settle down, and everything will be under our control." Ya Ning nodded knowingly, he understood the meaning behind the words of the Minister of State.

"Well, take away what you can, especially the grain in the granary. You must first take it away, and don't damage what you can't take away." Lei Juetian stepped out of the gate and looked around the street reluctantly With a desolate look, he said in a tone full of sadness: "We will come back, we will definitely come back."

With the retreat of the Machi Khan army to the west, the vanguard of the Sixth and Seventh Legions of the Empire moved eastward together. On May 22, 697 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the city of Wenning was restored. This exciting news immediately spread to the surroundings at the fastest speed, and the Sixth and Seventh Legions did not hesitate to use gorgeous words to report how the imperial army worked together and fought **** days and nights, defeating more than 100,000 soldiers of Machi Khan. The army finally recaptured the Wen Ning Mansion.

On May 24th, the four regiments of Maqi Khan, who were traveling day and night, rushed all the way, and finally crossed the great river between Wenning and Baling, Jingjiang, before the Fifth Army of the Empire went south. Entering the territory of Baling, the Maqihan people who were responsible for intercepting it also paid a considerable price. Facing the flexible and powerful imperial navy fleet with long-range strike force, the Maqihan people used various means, even with flesh and blood. The body set up a block to block, and finally slowed down the progress of the Fifth Army of the Empire, and bought precious time for the four corps returning west from Wenning.

On May 25th, the entire territory of Wenning was restored, and the empire's Shuanglong Xizhu flag was planted again in urban and rural areas.

"Fighting in blood for three days and nights, willing to sacrifice blood to the Spring and Autumn Period!——Field Records of the Seventh Legion", "Forward and Successive, Courageously Leading——Ode to the Fifth Army of the Empire", "Bearing with all our hearts, sharing weal and woe——The battlefield of the Sixth Army of the Empire A large number of documentary articles were immediately published in the imperial capital and news media around the empire at the fastest speed. This series of extremely provocative articles greatly inspired and boosted the morale of the entire empire. Almost everyone in the entire empire Enthusiasm has been mobilized. From Yanyun to Jiangnan, from Donghai to Zhongzhou, a large number of people spontaneously took to the streets and held parades and rallies to celebrate this historic victory. The stuffiness was swept away, merchants put up lanterns and festoons one after another, drastically cut prices and let bloodletting sell for profit, and the local government even directly announced a three-day holiday to celebrate this great victory.

At the same time, the hoarding grain merchants complained unceasingly, and the price of grain dropped sharply. Rice dropped from one silver coin and six copper coins per liter before Wen Ning's recovery to eight copper coins per liter, while wheat even cost one silver coin. Zero two copper coins per liter fell to six copper coins per liter. This sudden contrast made the grain merchants want to cry without tears. Everyone is predicting when the imperial army will regain Baling and Jiujiang, and the grain price will naturally return to the original price. Some grain merchants who are undecided have begun to open warehouses to sell grain. The steady decline in grain prices has also made the common people even more smiling.

While the whole country was celebrating Wen Ning's recovery, some people couldn't sit still. In a mansion 200 meters south of Yanyun County Governor's Mansion in Beiping Mansion, the capital of Yanyun County, Situ Tai was pacing back and forth in the hall anxiously, and several people in the lower seats were in sight.

"You guys are talking about it, what should we do now? The father and the emperor have recovered, the old three and the old seven have worked together to win the Wenning victory in Wuhu, and the empire has received rave reviews. The old nine is gone, there is no more Any voice, I think it's time for us to change our strategy?" Situ Tai was indeed a little angry, he was still holding the emperor's imperial edict in his hand, and his words were unprecedentedly fierce, and looking at these various newspapers, which one? It's not that he is singing the praises of the third and the seventh. Seeing that the ninth has lost power, the position of the heir is up to him to compete with the third and the seventh. If he doesn't perform anymore, I'm afraid he will really be kicked out. How useful is it to preserve your strength? If the whole country supports the seventh or third child, even if you have two more legions to help you, you will have nothing to do.

Seeing that their lord lost his composure, Zhao Chenghuai and Leng Qian couldn't help but exchanged glances with wry smiles. The drastic change in the situation before them was indeed beyond their expectations. His Majesty the Emperor's astonishing recovery and return to power is simply a miracle Didn't the imperial doctor affirm that he would not be able to survive this year? How could he be completely healed all of a sudden? Could there be any tricks in this? However, the information from all aspects of the imperial capital did not show any doubts here. The only thing that makes people suspicious is that the Forbidden Palace has strengthened its security. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor invited foreign doctors to work. Some kind of special treatment, could it be that some method of stimulating the potential is used to temporarily restore His Majesty the Emperor? This question has been lingering in the minds of everyone present, but it cannot be confirmed, and even if it is confirmed, there is nothing to do. In the words of the lord, if the power of the third or seventh child is enough, even if His Majesty dies , his own side is also at an absolute disadvantage, and it will be even more difficult to counterattack. After all, it is really impossible for a county to compete with the entire empire.

"Your Highness, I wonder if we should take another look. The old man always feels that His Majesty's sudden recovery is somewhat suspicious. Can we wait for the news from the palace to make a decision?" Seeing Zhao Chenghuai's silence, Leng Qian could only force himself Scalp consoled.

Exhaling a sigh of relief, Situ Tai snorted, "Old Leng, the situation is threatening. You have read the imperial decree. Father is already extremely angry. If we don't show any more, I'm afraid there will be real troubles. Last time, father was already a little angry with Cheng Huai, if I disobey again, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep Cheng Huai either."

Zhao Chenghuai's face changed slightly. Of course, he knew that his fate was attached to this person in front of him. If he let go, he would be crushed immediately. He secretly looked at Leng Qian who was beside him.

Leng Qian is also aware of the pressure his lord is under. It seems that His Highness the Ninth Prince has lost his power at the moment. Overwhelming the two brothers, why not take this opportunity to give it a go? No matter what, it is far better than staying in Yanyun to wait and see the situation, and if His Majesty the Emperor is really angry, I am afraid that it will be difficult to secure his position now, so this has to be taken into consideration. But it is not easy to get involved in the war so easily, and it is not easy to get rid of it, and it is not easy to replenish the army now, especially since His Majesty is in power, I am afraid that the original plan of the few of us to take the opportunity to increase the army will become a reality In vain, and Situ Lang obviously strengthened his control over the newly-built third and fourth legions, and Situ Yuan also took the opportunity to obtain the right to form the tenth legion.

"Your Highness, I don't think it's better than this. We can make two-handed preparations. First, let the First Army prepare for war, and at the same time strengthen the pre-war reconnaissance and intelligence collection of Cangzhou~IndoMTL.com~If the imperial capital is within three to five days There is still no news from the palace, and it is not too late for us to attack Cangzhou, but we must pay attention to secrecy in the preliminary work and be sure to keep it secret. If there is any change in the imperial capital, then we will discuss it. In addition, there are also Make arrangements, although the people of Puer have behaved very peacefully during this period, they should not be taken lightly." Leng Qian made a compromise suggestion, "By the way, Your Highness, the envoy to the Kingdom of Dorton has returned, and some progress has been made. However, Dorton is still very cautious, they don't want to make a decision so early, and request that everything be kept secret for the time being, and make a decision after the situation in the empire stabilizes, it seems that they still want to see the wind."

"Hmph, no matter where they are, they don't care about that for the time being, and it's hard for them to play a big role now. We still have to settle down to solve the Cangzhou problem. Cheng Huai, is there any problem?" Situ Tai I have already forgotten about the marriage with the Dorton Kingdom, and the most important thing now is how to regain the favor and trust of the father. Judging from the current situation, the father's rewards for the third and seventh are very important. I'm about to come down soon, if I don't seize the opportunity to show myself, I'm afraid I won't even be able to occupy a corner in Father Emperor's heart.

"Currently there are about 30,000 garrisons of the Taiping Sect in Cangzhou, and another 30,000 to 40,000 armed personnel. However, it is hard to estimate how high the combat effectiveness of these armed personnel is. It may be very poor. After all, they have not received formal training. He has never participated in a real war, so he may not be weak, and Taiping teaches people to use religious superstition methods to fool people. Once people are not afraid of death, it is difficult to say." When talking about military affairs, Zhao Chenghuai immediately regained his energy, and his tone became stiff all of a sudden. Get up, "However, if Your Highness wants the First Army to attack with all its might, I am sure that the battle in Cangzhou will be resolved within a week!"
