Steel Dynasty - Chapter 188

[Chapter 188 Chang’an Influence]

“The great victory in Cangzhou, the King of Qi beheaded one hundred thousand barbarians!”

“The great victory in Cangzhou, the King of Qi beheaded one hundred thousand barbarians!”

“…”

Along the Suzaku Street in Chang’an City, Xiaohuangmen walked non-stop, Shouting the news loudly made not only Xiao Wenxuan happy.

Although he is a small yellow man, a despicable and incomplete man in the eyes of others, he still carries the rise and fall of the country in his heart.

Xiao Wenxuan had been sleepless all night since the battle of Cangzhou City. The reason was that if Cangzhou City was lost and the fiefdoms of King Qi and King Wei were occupied by barbarians, the royal family of Dayu would no longer be able to control the ambitions of vassal kings with different surnames.

Now that Cangzhou City was defended, Xiao Ming, the seventh prince of the Chongqing Kingdom, beheaded 100,000 barbarians and forced the barbarians to retreat to Shanhaiguan.

From now on, Dayu can stand tall and say no to Sui Gong! Say no to cutting! Say no to marriage!

On the street, the merchants stopped, the scholars stopped, the officials stopped, and the people entering the city also stopped.

“Great victory in Cangzhou!”

These four words were heard in their ears, exploding like thunder, deafening.

“Did I hear it correctly? With the great victory in Cangzhou, King Qi beheaded one hundred thousand barbarians?” a scholar said to his companion.

“It seems that the King of Qi can behead a hundred thousand barbarians? Are you bragging? The Tiger of the North, King Zhao, has never done such a feat. This little Huangmen must be crazy.”

The scholar who was traveling with him said: “Isn’t that right? The little yellow gate in the past seems to be from the emperor’s side. He has come to my house before to announce the decree. “

The other scholars were stunned, and one scholar said, “So, the victory in Cangzhou will be the victory of King Qi. Before

they could finish speaking, they suddenly heard another voice shouting “Cangzhou Great Victory” coming from the direction of the palace gate.

Then even the palace guards also rode wildly to spread the news.

It turned out that Xiao Wenxuan was so happy that he wanted to let the entire Chang’an City know about it, and sent palaces one after another to spread the news.

“Everyone says that His Majesty is very happy, and it seems so.” After hearing a dozen shouts of good news in succession, the scholar who had already sat down in the restaurant said.

A scholar seemed a little dissatisfied with the scholar’s words and said: “After decades of weakness, Dayu has never had such a great victory. It is only natural for your Majesty to be happy, but my brother is not only happy for the King of Qi, but seems to be dissatisfied.” “Yue is puzzling.”

The scholar suddenly stopped talking. His father was under the command of King Zhao, so his thoughts were naturally different.

“Hahaha, no matter what, this is a great event. I didn’t expect that the once sordid King of Qi could now withstand a barbarian army of 100,000 troops. Come, for the sake of King Qi, I will treat you to this meal.” A scholar said boldly.

The other scholars looked puzzled, and one scholar joked: “Strange, strange, Brother Shao is rarely generous this time. It seems that we have benefited from King Qi.”

At this time, the scholar surnamed Shao said deeply: “You guys I don’t understand. Others would definitely not be like this, but King Qi is different. When we were in Chang’an, King Qi and I were like brothers, inseparable, and knew him very well. At that time, I felt that King Qi could achieve great things. Today is really proof of my foresight, but it’s a pity that I can’t fight side by side with His Highness, hey!”

All the scholars looked at the scholar named Shao with envy. If this news comes true, it will be a big deal for him to have something to do with King Qi. glory.

The scholar surnamed Shao was contentedly enjoying the jealous looks of everyone. He wanted to go home immediately after dinner and write a letter to King Qi to recount his old love in Chang’an.

Luo Mansion, the residence of General Huai Quan, the small yellow gate where the news was being delivered was suddenly blocked by Luo Quan who rushed out.

Xiao Huangmen was shocked and immediately pulled the reins. This time he managed to avoid hitting Luo Quan.

“General Luo, what are you doing?” Xiao Huangmen’s face turned pale.

Luo Quan ignored Xiao Huangmen at all, but stepped forward and pulled Xiao Huangmen off his horse. He shouted: “What did you say! Say it again!”

Xiao Huangmen was so frightened that his heart trembled, thinking that he had collided. He asked Luo Quan and said: “The slave asked the general what is going on?”

“I told you the previous sentence!” Luo Quan roared again, looking excited.

Xiaohuangmen came back to his senses at this time and said: “General, Cangzhou City was defended. King Qi beheaded one hundred thousand barbarians. What a great victory!”

Luo Quan faintly heard the news from Xiaohuangmen when he was at home. , he thought it was his misunderstanding. Later, when the voice sounded again and again, he finally understood.

“We won! We won! We won!”

Luo Quan’s body trembled slightly as he kept repeating the news.

Although they did not participate in the Battle of Cangzhou, intelligence from the Chongqing Kingdom continued to come in during this period. They knew very well that the barbarians had launched an attack on Cangzhou City.

These days, he and the ministers from the main station faction felt as uncomfortable as a cat’s paw.

Now a feeling of ecstasy filled his heart, and then he asked: “Is there any news about my son Luo Xin?”

“General, there is no news about this. His Highness King Qi’s letter to His Majesty is very short, and it only contains Cangzhou. The news about the great victory and the beheading of 100,000 people, but the letter said that after the rest, the information about this battle would be published in the newspaper and sent to Chang’an.”

“Really?” Luo Quan was excited and worried. After all, Luo Xin is now in charge. No news.

Xiao Huangmen nodded at this time, “General, I have to continue to deliver the message.”

“You go to my house to get the horse.” Luo Quan grabbed Xiao Huangmen’s horse and rode towards the palace. And go.

Xiao Huangmen gave a wry smile, this victory in Cangzhou, this general is crazy.

“Great victory in Cangzhou!” Xiao Huangmen shouted again as he walked towards Luo Mansion to get his horse.

East Market.

This is where Chang’an merchants gather.

At this time, a dozen businessmen were gathering together and discussing excitedly.

“This time Cangzhou won. King Qi’s fiefdom is safe. Now we don’t have to worry about our business.”

A businessman breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, he traveled between Chang’an and Qingzhou selling soap and made a lot of money. However, due to the war, the soap production in Qingzhou was also delayed.

Now that Cangzhou City has embraced it, their business has been saved.

“No, God bless King Qi. We finally won. Hey, my whole family is counting on my business in Qingzhou.” A businessman had tears in his eyes.

Another businessman said: “Everyone, don’t talk about this now. Let’s set off immediately to Qingzhou to visit King Qi.”

“Yes, this time King Qi can hold Cangzhou and defeat Beishan, the most skilled warrior among the barbarians. This shows that Qi King The king has a great talent. From now on, Qingzhou City will be safe.”

At this time, a businessman passed by them and bowed softly on the carriage behind him. The businessmen asked curiously: “Where are you going now?

” Being able to live in Cangzhou means that King Qi’s fiefdom will definitely be safe and will be a good place to do business in the future. I am going to settle in Qingzhou.”

“Wait, I will go too,” a group of merchants shouted.
