Chapter 476: What? Xu Yinluo decimated hundreds of thousands of enemy troops with one sword?

“Didn’t Wei Yuan just capture the Witch God Sect’s main altar? Didn’t he cut through the hinterland of the Yan Kingdom?”

Qian Qingshu’s eyes widened in shock.

According to the prediction of the princes, the Witch God Cult, which had suffered heavy losses, was extremely likely to hold back its anger and build up its strength.

Or, after the initial pacification of the people, repairing the city, and then mobilizing the troops, and these tasks, without a few months, or even half a year, do not want to be completed at all.

The war took place in the Witch God Cult territory, the people fled, the cities fell, and even the general altar was captured and destroyed.

Post-war reconstruction, pacification, etc. can be a long and troublesome process.

Who would have thought that just less than a month from Wei Yuan’s capture of Jing Shan City, Yan Kang and the two countries would have gathered 80,000 troops and attacked Yu Yang Pass?

This uncharacteristic behavior for the norms of war left several of the university professors in the audience shocked, angry and bewildered.

Wang Zhenwen’s face sank: “How is the battle situation ……..”

After a pause, he changed his tone and said, “How many cities have been captured in Xiangzhou?”

The two countries have a joint army of 80,000, and the enemy army, wrapped in the flames of vengeance, is bound to give up its life and forget its death. And after the border garrison experienced Wei Yuan’s death in battle, the low morale is predictable.

The number and the disparity, coupled with Li Yi s return to the capital ……… and other information are telling Wang Zhenwen that Yuyang Pass has fallen, and the people of Xiangzhou are experiencing the trampling of the iron horsemen.

This caused the old chief minister, who was a deep city man, some anxiety, so much so that he could not sit still.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi instinctively revealed a smile, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He smiled ……… Zhao Tingfang and others looked slightly stagnant, and then he heard Li Yi say:

“Luckily, Xu Yinluo was there at the time, and he helped us hold off the enemy forces almost single-handedly.”

Hearing this, the Grandmasters instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, given Xu Qi’an’s past ability to get things done, he was always able to get things resolved, whether through violence or other extreme means.

Then he felt that it was not right, Xu Qi’an’s level of cultivation, “the power of one person” four words from?

Wang Zhenwen frowned slightly and asked his doubts.

Li Yi said, “Xu Yinluo single-handedly chiseled the formation, killed through the enemy army, chopped a total of more than 10,000 enemy troops, killed the Kang commander Sugudu Red Bear, and in the midst of thousands of troops a knife to kill the inflammatory ruler Nurhega ……….”

Listening to Li Yi narrating his story, the university professors were stunned, with the same expression frozen on their old faces.

The teacup held by Chief Minister Wang slowly tilted askew, and the scalding hot tea flowed once again before waking him up with a scald, his entire body almost trembling.

“True?!”

Chief Wang heard his voice shaking.

“I dare not misrepresent the military situation, I have already sent the pond report to the Ministry of War, I came here because I was entrusted by Commander Zhang, I hope that the Chief Minister and all of you will make a decision as soon as possible to send reinforcements to the border of the three states.” Li Yi said.

Chief Minister Wang slowly nodded his head and said, “You should go wait outside while we confer for a few moments.”

When Li Yi left, the council chamber was silent for a moment.

In the minds of all the bachelors, the figure of that little gong coincidentally surfaced in the year of the Beijing inspection. At that time, he was still just a small person who relied on Wei Yuan’s favor and jumped up and down.

And now that Wei Yuan is dead in battle, he has become a legend who can hold his own.

Things are not what they used to be.

Zhao Tingfang lamented:

“I can’t imagine that he has already grown to this point, in a short period of five years, or ten years, it won’t be a problem for him to replace the Zhenbei King and become the number one martial artist of the Da Feng.”

He killed nearly ten thousand enemies under the city, and decapitated the Yanlord Nurhgar with a single sword.

Based on this merit alone, the title of Marquis is not in question.

It’s a pity that such a character, when he cut off his waist plate with a knife, no longer worked as an official.

The fiery character Qian Qingshu coldly grunted:

“His Majesty broke with him completely for the sake of King Huai and for the sake of the royal family’s face. It is impossible for him to re-enter the court as an official. And with Xu Qi’an’s character, even if His Majesty forgives him, he won’t return to the court.”

Pity, too bad!

Huagai Hall University scholar whispered, “After Wei Yuan’s death, he might leave the capital ……….”

The Grand Maestro was silent.

Qian Qingshu slammed the table, his lips opened, but in the end, he did not curse out those two words.

Chief Minister Wang swept a glance at this close friend and pulled away from the topic, “I didn’t expect that the retaliation from the Witch God Cult would come so swiftly, it doesn’t make sense.”

Chen Qi, the university scholar of Jianji Hall, thought for a moment, ”Nurhgar may be overwhelmed by hatred, but Kang is not, and there are even more high-grade sorcerers of the Witch God Cult on it.

“The Jing Kingdom is fighting in the northern border, the Yan Kingdom has suffered heavy losses and is in desperate need of rest and recuperation, and it is only the Kang Kingdom that still has its troops well preserved. This kind of surge may be able to show off for a while, but once Da Feng reacts and mobilizes his troops, there will be a risk of annihilation for the Yan Kingdom.”

The current situation was that the Jing country in the north was held back by demonic barbarians, the general altar of Jing Mountain City had fallen, and the middle and low grade sorcerers had been killed and injured horribly.

As long as Da Feng bites the bullet and fights another large battle against the Witch God Cult, the Yan Kingdom will be in danger of extinction, and the Kang Kingdom won’t be any better.

That was why Chief Wang proposed to transfer more troops from the states, but Emperor Yuan Jing’s vetoed it.

Grand Maester Chen Qi looked around the crowd, “So what is it that makes them invade south regardless?”

“Perhaps Supervisor Zheng can tell me.” Chief Minister Wang said in a deep voice, then looked at Qian Qingshu and said, “Qingshu, invite that general in.”

Li Yi re-entered the council chamber, and Chief Wang’s tone was gentle, “Anything else?”

Li Yi hesitated and said, “Has Chen Ying arrived in the capital?”

With a slight recollection, Chief Minister Wang remembered who Chen Ying was and shook his head, “No, what else is going on here?”

It seems that he is not so fast ………. Li Yi immediately revealed a look of indignation:

“In addition to the rations we brought with us when we went on the expedition, the logistical forces never sent rations to support us once more, and while the army was fighting on the enemy’s side, the Ministry of Households of the Three Prefectures cut off our supplies. After we withdrew, we sought out the officials of the Sanzhou Household Ministry to question them, and only then did we realize that the army’s rations were gone.”

At these words, the faces of the university professors present changed greatly, Qian Qingshu “rubbed” stood up.

Chief Minister Wang’s finger raced to tap the desktop and his tone became more urgent:

“What do you mean the army grain is gone, where is the grain and grass that was escorted to the border before the army marched? Didn’t the Ministry of Households in the three states count it? Didn’t you count it? Where are the transportation officers? Where’s the rations supervisor?”

What’s the most important thing about fighting a war?

Rations come first. 100,000 men, eating and chewing on horses, will mutiny if they don’t have rations.

“We naturally sent people to take inventory, but when we withdrew back, we realized that the grain and grass were gone, having been secretly transported away long ago. The officials in charge, such as the escorting tube and the grain and grass supervisor, were nowhere to be found.

“Chen Ying approached the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to question them, and those dog officials only said that they were following orders and said nothing else. So …….. Chen Ying cut them all down in a fit of rage.”

Li Yi lowered his head and finished this.

Boom!

As if thunder had struck them, the university professors’ bodies shook.

“On whose orders? Under whose orders? That, that Chen Ying ……. Who told him to chop up all the people? He chopped them up, who are we going to ask?

“Reckless, damned reckless!”

The irascible Qian Qingshu was furious.

Only Wang Shoufu withered and sat still for a long time in silence, waiting for the university professors to quarrel almost, he silently picked up the hand of the official hat, put it on, and walked slowly to the outside.

“I’m going to see the Superintendent.”

His voice was joyless.

…………

At this time in the court of the Ministry of War, the Minister of War sat in the hall, scrutinizing the contents of the pond report.

Two things were recorded on it, one of which was that the allied armies of Yan and Kang attacked the Jade Yang Pass, and were defeated by Xu Qi’an alone, decapitating ten thousand enemies and killing the Yan ruler, and the allied armies were routed!

Second, rations are missing for no apparent reason.

In addition to the pond report, there was also a handwritten letter from Zhang Kaitai, imploring the Secretary of the Ministry of War and Zhang Xingying and other royal officials to help save Chen Ying.

Killing an official of the Ministry of Revenue is already tantamount to mutiny.

Since the old days of mutiny, the soldiers can be forgiven, but the leader must die.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War is a person promoted by Wei Yuan, and is the backbone of Wei’s party.

The Minister of War pondered for a long time, summoned his inner circle, and said, “Leak the contents of the pond report, and tell only one thing, not the other.”

The matter of grain and grass has not yet been finalized and is of great importance, so it is not appropriate to divulge it now.

But Xu Qi’an’s deeds can be spread with the aim of proclaiming victory in this battle. Isn’t His Majesty hesitant? Isn’t he unwilling to give Duke Wei a name behind him? Then he’ll give it a push.

…………

Soon enough, Xu Qi’an’s story of standing alone against Yan and Kang began to spread in the mouths of the officials in the capital and among the townspeople under the impetus of those who had the heart to do so.

In a certain high-class restaurant in the inner city, a group of Beijing officials entered in a group.

After entering the private room, ordering drinks and dishes, and talking loudly, a capital official said after a few small drinks:

“I just learned from a good friend at the Ministry of War that the day before yesterday, the allied forces of the two countries of Yan and Kang gathered 80,000 elites and attacked the Yuyang Pass.”

The faces of his colleagues changed drastically, “Xiangzhou has fallen?”

“No no.”

That Peking official waved his hand, looked around the crowd, and said in a colorful manner, “It just so happened that Xu Yinluo was present, and with one man and one sword, he killed more than 20,000 enemy troops, killed the commander of the Kang Kingdom, and even that Yanjun was beheaded by him.”

“Nonsense, eat more food, drink less, talk drunk all you want.” The fellow officers didn’t believe it.

“This matter, ah, is true. Mister Su is such a big matter that you guys will know about it sooner or later, so why would I lie to you. Is Mister Su’s reputation not worth anything?”

“What’s going on, tell us ……….”

Outside the private room, the waiting waiter heard it clearly, and immediately ran downstairs, blushing with excitement, and went to the shopkeeper.

“Boss, boss, something big is going on.”

The shopkeeper behind the counter’s face changed, “There’s a guest fighting?”

Xiao Er waved his hands repeatedly, then danced with his hands and said loudly, “The 80,000 allied troops of Yan and Kang attacked the Great Border, and were, killed by Xu Yinluo alone. Even Yan Jun died.”

The noisy lobby of the restaurant was instantly silent.

………..

Some kind of hookah.

“Have you heard that Xu Yinluo held off 100,000 troops from Yan Kang and the two countries alone at the border of Xiangzhou, killing them without leaving a single piece of armor.”

“Isn’t Xu Yinluo in the capital?”

“Who told him in the capital, this is the court confidential information, I was a relative in the court as an official, only know this matter. The whole 100,000 troops ah, good guy, the corpses are piled up higher than the city wall.”

…………

The mouth of the alley.

Someone yelled out, “Listen to me, everyone, I’m about to tell you something big and exciting, and you may not believe it, but I can promise you that it’s true, every word of it.”

“What is it?”

Pedestrians have stopped to watch.

The yeller announced, “Yesterday, Xu Yinluo was at the Jade Sun Pass, and he alone held off the Witch God Cult’s 150,000 strong army, 10,000 per blade, and after fifteen blades, the enemy army flew away in ashes.”

“Is that true?” Some pedestrians didn’t believe it.

“I’ve heard that too, but it’s said to be a 200,000 strong army, not 150,000, so don’t you dare discredit Xu Yinluo’s achievements.”

“Huh, wasn’t it two hundred and fifty thousand.”

“It’s a rumor, isn’t it?”

“What rumors, if it’s Xu Yinluo, then surely it can be done. Have you all forgotten? Last year in Yunzhou, Xu Yinluo was able to hold off 20,000 rebels by himself and quell the rebellion with his own strength.”

In the crowd, there was a steady stream of voices.

The news spread quickly among the folk of the capital.

The people in the capital were happy to see it, with a look of “he is worthy of it”, and some people were so happy that they thought God blessed Da Bong.

Some people are sad and think that if Xu Yinluo continues like this, the earth will not be able to tolerate him, and he will go to heaven, and Da Fengcheng can not stand this loss.

…………

The Imperial Palace.

The Crown Prince learned the first hand news from his beloved officials, and stayed as if he were a wooden chicken, the degree of shock in his heart was no less than hearing about Wei Yuan’s death in battle.

Upon learning the news, his first impulse was to go to Prosperity.

Lin’an and Xu Qi’an had mutual feelings for each other, a matter that the Crown Prince had already detected at the time of Concubine Fu’s case. Especially his sibling who didn’t know the dangers of the human heart, it was not too much to say that they were deeply in love.

As Xu Qi’an showed more and more ability, the Crown Prince had mixed feelings, on the one hand, he had offended his father and was destined to die.

On the other hand was that he was just too good to use, so good that the Crown Prince felt that if he recruited the surname Xu under his command, his throne would even be more secure.

Other than that, a peak martial artist with a high level of cultivation, if he was dead set on serving himself, then at least he would be safe and secure.

Now the Prince was more and more certain of this fact.

Out of the East Palace, he soon came to the Shaoyin Court which was not far away, and at the notice of the guards, he saw his sibling in the red dress in the back garden.

Her face is round and fair, her features are delicate like carving, a pair of watery peach blossom eyes always give people a feeling of affection, charming but not demonic, looking around with a lot of flavor, but not frivolous.

As a sibling, the crown prince had an innate immunity to Lin An’s beauty, but at this moment, he only felt that Lin An’s beauty and inner charm was really an excellent weapon.

“Why is Brother Prince free to come to my place.”

Lin An sat in the gazebo, enjoying the autumn scenery and smiling back.

The Crown Prince strides inside and laughs brightly, “I have come to share a great event with my sister.”

Telling the story of Xu Qi’an’s feat at the Yu Yang Pass.

After a pause, he tried, “Lin’an ah, Xu Qi’an is truly a rare and handsome talent, what is your opinion of him?”

Although his words had the suspicion of using a sister to enlist people’s support, as the crown prince, this was the basic operation.

Lin An froze, her pretty googly-eyed face expressionless for a long time.

After a long time, she whispered, “He went to the northeast border ah ……..”

“Yes, one man chiseling a formation, killing 10,000 people and scaring off 50,000 enemy troops, a rare feat even in the annals of Da Feng.” The crown prince said excitedly.

Lin An, however, only felt his heart ache, what made him travel thousands of miles to the border, chiseling and fighting in the first place?

Wei Yuan’s death must have hit him hard.

When you like someone, the first thing you think about is always their joys and sorrows, not because of the glory and splendor they bring.

Of course, Prosper heard his thumping fangirl heart at the same time.

That man, already has the ability to pick over the Heavenly Palace and bring the Princess of Heaven down to earth.

………..

In the military house where the Imperial Sword Guards were located, Xu Pingzhi received congratulations from one of his peers and superiors.

“Congratulations to Lord Xu, the Xu family is truly a loyal family, with Erlang accompanying the army and Dalang guarding the borders alone, they have made a great contribution.”

“If you ask me, it’s still Lord Xu’s good eye, seeing early on that Xu Yinluo is a heavenly talented martial arts wizard.”

“Yes, yes, yes, thanks to that, I used to secretly scold Lord Xu for not being a proper son.”

This sentence is not necessary to say, you vulgar martial …….. man Xu Pingzhi responded with a smile in a complex mood.

……….

Stargazer Building.

A scarlet-robed Wang Zhenwen ascended the Bagua Platform, and as far as he could remember, he had ascended to the top of the Stargazer Building no more than five times.

The number of times he had seen Supervisor Zheng, again no more than five times, this guardian deity of the Dafeng, the divine figure who had sat and watched the earth for five hundred years, was clearly in the Red Dust, but found himself detached from it.

Since Wang Zhenwen entered the court as an official, really see the supervisor intervene in the government, only the last time to force Emperor Yuan Jing to make a sinful imperial decree.

What exactly is in your heart ………. Wang Zhenwen sighed, and then said:

“Your disciple ……… is not well?”

Not far away, Yang Qianyue squatted there, her back to the two, and kept breaking into pieces, and Wang Zhenwen vaguely heard a few words:

“I’m not jealous, I’m not jealous ………. Damn Xu Ningyan, damn Xu Ningyan, damn Xu Ningyan ………”

“Don’t bother.”

The immortalized Supervisor Zheng seemed to choke.

Wang Zhenwen nodded his head and spoke about the two pond reports, making a bow and saying, “Please teach me, Supervisor.”

The first pond report was that Wei Yuan was killed in battle, and the latter pond report was about grain and grass.

The Supervisor had his back to him, twirling his wine cup in his hand, and laughed softly, “Lord Shoufu thinks that, in this Dafeng, who can cut off the rations of the 100,000 strong army.”
