Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 297 Triumph

   Seeing that Lin Hao was still reading the letter leaning on the soft pillow, Baozhu reminded: "Girl, it's time for dinner."

   "Is it so late?" Lin Hao rubbed his sore eyes and looked at the window.

   March is about to enter, the greenery outside the window is covered with the setting sun, and there is a kind of gentle tranquility.

   She put away the scattered letter paper and put it back in the envelope, full of joy, she couldn't help but want to show it off a little.

   "I didn't expect to read a letter, and the time passed before I knew it."

   Baozhu glanced at the thick letter in the girl's hand and nodded: "Yes, it takes a long time to read such a long letter, it's too much time consuming."

   Lin Hao's mouth twitched.

   Can't this girl praise the uncle's love and righteousness and make her happy?

   That's it, don't embarrass this hard-hearted girl.

   "Let's set the meal."

   Waiting for the pearl to go out, Lin Hao fell onto the bed with the letter in both hands, and smirked again.

   In the Dragon Case of Emperor Tai'an, the battle report from the Northland was also read many times, lest something be missed.

   "Okay, okay, okay!" Emperor Tai'an didn't know how many times he said hello, and when the important ministers arrived, they took a picture of the battle report, "All the ministers have a look."

  The ministers exchanged glances, and their expressions were obviously much relaxed.

   It should be a good thing to see the appearance of the emperor.

   They glanced at Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and seeing Han Shangshu's old wrinkled smile, they became more and more sure of the guess in their hearts: the battle must be won.

  Battle reports are all presented to the sage through the Ministry of War.

It's hard to guess which side    is, after all, there are three places fighting - thinking about it, the good mood of the ministers will inevitably be discounted.

   is too miserable, even if Da Zhou has a lot of troops, he can't stand a one-to-three, and a victory is probably a narrow victory.

   The first official who took the battle report just glanced at it, and with a flick of his hands, he almost threw the military report out.

"What happened?"

   The flesh on the cheeks of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was shaking non-stop, and tears streamed down the ground: "Big, big, big victory!"

   A few hands stretched out and snatched the battle report away. After all the ministers had read it, they congratulated Emperor Tai'an with tears: "Your Majesty is full of blessings, and God blesses Da Zhou!"

   It was rare for Emperor Tai'an not to feel bad because of the cries of these old officials. No matter how deep the city government was, he couldn't stop the good mood at this time, and the corners of his mouth were raised.

   "It was the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy to get this great victory, especially King Jing and his son." Emperor Tai'an was happy to hear the compliments from his ministers.

   Hearing what the emperor said, all the ministers suddenly became excited.

   "I didn't expect that Prince Jing would have such a strategy and courage at such a young age that he dared to go deep into the tiger's den alone..."

   "That's right, if there is a mistake in this matter, you will lose your life..."

   "Wu Ye, who had dyed his hands with countless blood of Da Zhou people, died, and the traitor Guan Changliang also died. King Jing and his son have contributed greatly!"

  The more excited the ministers said, the more excited they were, and the more excited they praised, they rushed out like they didn't want money. Cheng Maoming, the commander of Jin Linwei who was a wooden man, saw the emperor's face was wrong, and hurriedly interjected: "It's mainly because of the emperor's blessing."

   The excited ministers shuddered and recalled: "Yes, it's all because of the emperor's blessing, long live the emperor, long live!"

   Tai'an Emperor's little unhappiness is not aimed at King Jing and his son, but mainly because of the vigilance that cannot be cast aside as an emperor.

   After the ministers stepped back, he took a sip of the tea handed over by Liu Chuan, and sighed, "This nephew, I am very impressed."

  Liu Chuan filled the tea with a smile, but didn't answer.

   "I don't know what happened to the south." Emperor Tai'an was temporarily relieved about the north, and he was concerned about the Mingxin Renren and his party who went south.

  Speaking of which, because of the change in the position of Mingxin Zhenren, he was looking forward to the victory in the south, but he did not expect that there was no movement in the south, but there was a good news from the north.

   This is a big surprise.

   Good things always come in pairs. Within two days, there was news from the south.

   Under the leadership of Mingxin Zhenren, the elite soldiers from the south sneaked into the hiding place of Emperor Pingle and captured the old emperor with lightning speed.

There are not many people who have been following the old emperor. Although they recruited a large number of troops and horses in a short period of time under the banner of reset, they were just a group of mediocre rabble. many.

   Yuliu was the best at being a wallflower. When he learned that Emperor Pingle was captured, and the news of the fall of Wuye, the Northern Qi war god, he stopped the war and asked for peace without hesitation.

  Although Emperor Tai'an hated Yuliu's behavior, he couldn't ask for it at this time.

   The south has stopped, and Yuliu can draw more troops to fight against the Northern Qi.

   The death of Wuye caused a lot of internal shock in the Northern Qi Dynasty, especially because they couldn't figure out why Wuli was turned against by the Great Zhou, and when they faced the Zhou army, the mentality of looking down from the force of force changed. Under this situation, Da Zhou won another victory.

  The situation suddenly became severe for Northern Qi, and the internal divisions became even bigger under the pressure. It didn't take long for a prince who had been suppressed by Wuye for many years to rebel.

  In this way, it was Emperor Qi who hurriedly asked Da Zhou for peace in order to resolve internal conflicts, and was willing to offer 3,000 war horses.

   Emperor Tai'an received the urgent letter of reconciliation. He wanted to agree immediately, but the ghosts and gods turned over the previous military newspaper and changed his mind.

   Handing over the peace talks to King Jing, maybe there will be unexpected gains?

   King Jing was shocked when he received the task of peace talks.

   He has experience in this matter!

   So the messenger sent by Emperor Qi received the sympathetic gaze of the previous messenger.

   Waiting for the negotiation results to be quickly communicated back to the capital, Emperor Tai'an couldn't help but burst out laughing with his calmness.

   "Hahaha, King Jing really lived up to my expectations!"

  The number of war horses has not only increased from 3,000 to 5,000, but there are even two horse farms as a gift!

   For a time, Emperor Tai'an was curious about what King Jing talked about, but unfortunately the battle report was written in a concise manner, so he could only ask in detail when he returned to Beijing.

   As soon as the war stopped, King Jing and his son should indeed triumph.

   Don't look at the fact that Emperor Tai'an never interfered with the performance of the front-line generals during the war with Northern Qi. Once the war was over, especially in the case of a big victory, the emperor's caution and suspicion would not allow him to let King Jing stay in the north for a long time.

   The decree to summon King Jing back to Beijing was soon sent out.

   When we set off, the war was urgent, and we hurried on the road under the stars and the moon. Naturally, we didn’t have to do this when we came back. According to the normal marching speed, when King Jing led his troops and horses to set foot on the boundary of the capital, it was already the time of spring and summer, when it was prosperous.

   On that day, the wind was sunny, the willows were green and the flowers were red, and Emperor Tai'an personally led a hundred officials and went out of the city to meet the triumphant soldiers.

  The sound of hooves from far to near, billows of dust and smoke splashed, and flags were fluttering, and the armors of the soldiers shone cold in the sun.

   King Jing dismounted first and walked quickly instead.

   "My brother has seen the emperor—"

   followed by soldiers kneeling a lot.

  Tai'an Emperor hurriedly helped King Jing up, with emotion on his face: "Fifth brother has worked hard."

Finally home!
