Steel Dynasty - Chapter 375

[Chapter 375 The news shocks Chang’an]

PS: There will be another chapter later. I originally wanted to fill in a chapter for everyone, but I spent the whole morning in the hospital with my wife and there was not enough time. But Snail will not break his promise. He owes I will definitely return the ones I downloaded. I have to update five times tomorrow. I hope everyone can understand.

early morning.

A post general rushed into the misty city of Chang’an. As the sound of horse hooves sounded on the gravel road in Chang’an, the news that the Qingzhou Army had recaptured Shanhaiguan also spread.

“Great victory at Shanhaiguan, the Qingzhou army defeated Shanhaiguan, and regained Shanhaiguan, the most powerful pass in the world!”

“Great victory at Shanhaiguan!”

“…”

Proclaiming the news all the way, the post general went straight to the palace, and he was about to bring the news to the palace. Go, since setting off from Qingzhou five days ago, he finally arrived in Chang’an.

It was almost time for the morning court, and officials were walking in twos and threes on Suzaku Avenue in Chang’an City.

When the post general passed by the officials, the news naturally reached the ears of the ministers. Suddenly, like pebbles falling into water, ripples arose on the calm Suzaku Avenue.

“Master Zhang, did I hear it correctly? The Qingzhou Army has recaptured Shanhaiguan!”

A red-robed official asked in confusion.

Mr. Zhang who was questioned was not sure, but turned around and asked the official beside him: “Mr. Liu, is this post general talking about recapturing Shanhaiguan?”

“Yes, the Qingzhou Army recaptured Shanhaiguan, but how is this possible? Mr. Liu looked completely disbelieving, “Although the barbarians were defeated in Jizhou, they still had strong troops during the defeat. Shanhaiguan is the most powerful pass in the world. Even if it is defended by 100,000 people, it cannot be broken by an army of 500,000. Qi What can the 30,000 soldiers in the Wang District do?”

A passing military general looked disdainful when he heard this, “Master Liu, don’t you understand? Shanhaiguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is easy for the barbarians to attack from the inside. There are many, and the barbarians are newly defeated, Bei Shan is injured, and people are in panic. It is impossible to say that Shanhaiguan has been abandoned at this time.

“Well, that makes sense,” the three civil servants whispered to each other.

One of them continued: “Jizhou has won a great victory. Your Majesty is overjoyed. I don’t know how happy I am to hear the news that Shanhaiguan has been recaptured this time. Your Majesty still doesn’t know how to praise the King this morning.”

“That’s right. , the Qingzhou Army takes a quarter of the credit for Jizhou, and the Qingzhou Army takes the credit for the recapture of Shanhaiguan. Hey, I see that the direction of the court is about to change, so please take care of yourself, Mr. Zhang. He said with a smile.

“Ai, what do you mean by this?” The other two asked in confusion.

“This is not simple. King Qi has made such great achievements in two years. He will definitely be a popular person in front of His Majesty in the future. In addition, he is very powerful. Which of the princes in the current dynasty has the achievements of King Qi? At this time Just act according to the situation.” Mr. Zhang sighed and walked forward.

The two officials looked at each other and nodded. This victory at Shanhaiguan made King Qi’s moment very important.

Not to mention that King Qi was a prince, even if Shanhaiguan was in the hands of an ordinary general, this general would become a celebrity in the court.

While the three were discussing, some officials with a more sensitive sense of smell had already caught up with Fiji.

Different from the previous coldness, Fiji was surrounded by dozens of officials. Each of these officials had a flattering expression on their faces and spoke full of flattery.

Under the compliments of many officials, Fiji raised his hand and returned the compliments one by one.

He knew very well that these officials were just outsiders. Wherever the wind blew, these officials would fall. However, these people could not be offended. Since they had already turned upside down, they could use them to their advantage.

After sending away these flattering officials, Fiji turned to look at Luo Quan, who looked unhappy, and said with a smile: “Why, your Highness, Prince Qi, took over Shanhaiguan. You are not happy.”

“Huh, you know I just can’t stand this. You idiot, I am naturally happy for His Highness King Qi to capture Shanhaiguan. To be honest, I did not expect to capture Shanhaiguan so soon.” Luo Quan sighed.

Fiji pondered: “Maybe the weapon you mentioned is too powerful. It seems that since His Highness King Qi comes to Beijing, he will have to do business with His Majesty again.”

Speaking of this, Luo Quan suddenly laughed, ” That’s for sure, but a firearms camp cost the court millions of taels. I don’t know how much the guns were sold to the court this time.”

Fiji shook his head, “In short, King Qi is not a person who suffers losses. “

Luo Quan sighed, “Yes, but now the King of Qi really has the capital to negotiate business with His Majesty. As long as Shanhaiguan is in his hands, the northern part of the country of Chongqing will be safe, and even the capital will be moved. “

Well, that’s true. His Majesty the King of Qi is pressing down heavily on Shanhaiguan. I’m afraid that the barbarians are having trouble sleeping and eating, and they don’t dare to use troops against our country of Chongqing. Because of this, His Majesty the King of Qi is attacking Shanhaiguan.” Your Majesty will feel at ease here. Hehe, the court will be lively this time.”

Fiji said with a smile.

Luo Quan rolled his eyes at this time, “But you must be among the happiest people. This time King Qi won Shanhaiguan, which will make your Fei family more proud than any betrothal gift. Alas, it’s a pity that Luo Xin is not a girl, otherwise Even if I don’t give up this old face, I still want to get married to King Qi.”

“Hey, you should go home and have your big dreams.” Fiji laughed.

At this time, the post general had already brought the news to the palace.

Xiao Huangmen took the news and delivered it to Xiao Wenxuan’s dormitory in three steps and two steps.

“The Qingzhou Army captured Shanhaiguan and has now stationed a large number of troops in Shanhaiguan, threatening the barbarian hinterland!”

When this line of writing came into Xiao Wenxuan’s eyes, his hands couldn’t stop shaking. Twelve years have passed since Shanhaiguan was lost. Two years.

Since he ascended the throne, this shame has remained in his heart and become a thorn in his heart.

It was precisely because Shanhaiguan was lost and the most important barrier fell into the hands of the barbarians that he made such concessions to the barbarians.

For twelve years he has been living in fear and humiliation, but the country’s national power is weak and there is nothing he can do.

Now, the Shanhaiguan Pass has been recaptured by Xiao Ming.

I pressed the memorial written by Xiao Ming himself, and Xiao Wenxuan slapped his face hard. It hurt. This was not a dream!

“Shanhaiguan is back, Shanhaiguan is back, Ming’er, you are the number one hero of the Chongqing Kingdom! Hahaha…”

Xiao Wenxuan finally couldn’t help laughing loudly.

At this moment, his whole body felt relaxed. The Sixteenth State of Yanyun was back, Shanhaiguan was back, the barbarians were driven away, and he could finally sleep peacefully.

“Your Majesty, it’s time to go to court.”

When Xiao Wenxuan was overjoyed, Xiao Huangmen reminded him.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded when he heard this. He straightened his body. At this moment, he was more majestic than ever.

Who says the royal family is in decline? Now he wants to tell everyone in the world that his empire is as stable as Mount Tai from now on!
