The life of the Xianyu family through books

Chapter 790 Military News

Before the end of his shift, Wei Hejin hurried home.

The armor has not been removed.

Holding the battle report just sent from Guanzhou, he quickly came to General Wei's yard.

General Wei is old, and apart from teaching a few younger generations in the family, he has not seen outsiders for a long time. Except for his own family members who know that the old man is still in good health, those outside who are not aware of the situation think that the old general is so old that he can't get out of bed.

At this time, General Wei was wearing a comfortable home cloth suit, which was dusty and looked like it had been washed dozens of times. He was holding a large broom in his hand and was backing away, sweeping the yard row by row.

He held back his strength with every swing, making it seem heavy but actually light.

Repeating the same action over and over again, very rhythmic.

"Father, the battle report from Guanzhou shows that 5,000 rebels have been wiped out and infiltrated Guanzhou. Chi'er and his men also led the troops and are listed on the list."

Wei Hejin had a look of joy on his face.

"Chi'er and the others have done a great job!"

General Wei stopped and took the battle report to read it.

As soon as I took a glance, I realized something was wrong.

He frowned slightly.

"This is an official military report. How dare you take it casually?"

Wei Hejin hurriedly explained, "It was sent to me specially, along with this military report and a message from the King of England, saying that he was afraid that there might be rebels blocking the way, so he wanted to submit this battle report through our General's Mansion."

"Where is the letter? Bring it to me." General Wei saw the names of several of his own boys, but did not read carefully the achievements described therein.

What achievements can a half-grown boy make?

The real battlefield hasn't even started yet, and 5,000 Xizhou troops have sneaked in but were discovered by Guanzhou. How difficult is it to just shut the door and fight the dog in your own territory?

It just happened that they caught up.

Or maybe, these guys have nothing to do with it at all, and it was just someone else's gift that was given to them on purpose.

General Wei quickly rejected this idea in his mind.

In just a few months, the King of England's reputation gradually grew, and letters were sent from the north to the court officials across thousands of miles.

He rose from a poor prince to a candidate for the throne.

The previous situation has been broken.

Many people are waiting for the King of England's eldest son to be summoned to Beijing.

Take a look at this person's quality.

Before he even entered the capital, he had already stirred up the storm.

  Would such a British king show goodwill to the Wei family and tamper with the military newspaper to praise those guys in his family?

Impossible.

After reading the letter, General Wei understood a little.

"Submit this military report immediately, and quickly. Your Majesty must see it tomorrow, before the morning court session."

General Wei had been a soldier for half his life, and the letter only mentioned a few words about the Western Rong perhaps taking advantage of the rebellion of the rebel king to cause chaos. He instantly realized that once the Western Rong joined the war, the imperial army and the Guanzhou army would be divided into two battlefields.

The barbarians were like wolves and tigers, coveting the food, wealth and population within the pass and were extremely ferocious.

Xizhou and Guanzhou prefectures have been guarding the border for generations. Most of the soldiers in these two prefectures have fought in hundreds of battles and are very brave.

However, the imperial army has had few battles in recent years and has enjoyed peace for a long time.

How can we defeat the fierce and barbaric barbarians?

Even if you win, you will most likely suffer losses.

The reason why Guanzhou reported this small victory in a hurry was because it was expected that the rebel army would be trapped in a stalemate.

The rebellion king had been planning for many years. Xizhou was rich, while Guanzhou was struggling to cope with it. He repeatedly petitioned the court to release military supplies and fodder. Every time there was a dispute in the court, it ended in nothing.

Even if the King of England changes his old attitude and becomes radical and decisive, he will fight if he wants to. There are also new young officials who are still passionate and are willing to fight for him.

But it's too late.

Once the news of the defeat of the imperial army or the Guanzhou army came.

Your Majesty will be furious.

The civil officials in the imperial court who were not afraid to speak out would also seize on this defeat and justify suppressing the supply to Guanzhou.

"Don't worry, father. I've made up my mind. I can use our connections and make more arrangements. I'll definitely make it in time. But..." Wei Hejin chose his words carefully: "Since Chi'er and the others have made contributions and His Royal Highness the King of England has recognized them, why not move their names to the front."

General Wei looked at him calmly.

"Nothing else has been changed, just the position has been changed to make it more conspicuous."

Wei Hejin felt that he had taken good care of his sons and nephews.

The current situation of rebellion against the king is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity.

As long as the King of England still wants to use the Wei family, he will not let those guys get into trouble.

Look, the military report has been sent to him.

The King of England has no one he can use in Beijing, and the only one he can trust and rely on is the Wei family.

  In the future, if the King of England can make further progress, the prosperity of the Wei family will be just around the corner!

General Wei thought of the small line at the end of the letter.

[Brother Wei is in Beijing, and he knows the current situation. This military report will be presented to Your Majesty at an appropriate time. You can edit and revise it as you see fit. The most important thing is to get the baggage out of Beijing as soon as possible.]

"This line of small characters was written by the Mr. Yan you mentioned?"

Wei Hejin nodded and said, "It should be him."

General Wei shook his head and smiled again.

"I was just being polite to you, but you took it seriously?" He shook the letter in his hand. "This letter was written by him, and the battle report was also written by him. It can be seen that this man is trusted and relied upon by the King of England."

"Chi'er and his friends wrote to say that they are under a general bannerman named Yan. He is called the general bannerman and has more than a thousand soldiers. He has a son who is strong enough to fight tigers and bears. Although he is still young, he is very smart and likes military affairs. He is called the Little General Yan. When his father is not around, he can take charge of all matters in the barracks. All the soldiers are willing to obey him."

General Wei said slowly, "This General Yan is from the same family as Mr. Yan, right? Such a young general is so outstanding, why do you think Mr. Yan didn't report him to others?"

He said to himself: "Young heroes are the center of attention. It is easy to become famous, but difficult to keep your life. If the enemy's spies find out, they must be eliminated."

"Put the names of Chi'er and the other three in front. Those guys are too weak to bear such a great favor from you."

Wei Hejin blushed.

It seems that I really thought too shallowly.

"Look at this battle report, the first merit is none other than General Yan. Oh, the King of England has already promoted him to Deputy Captain, a fifth-rank officer. Ha, you also gained experience in the military. Is your merit in wiping out 5,000 rebels enough?"

"His kid, that Yan Xiaoer, saved the King of England..." Wei Hejin's voice became smaller.

He had the merit of saving the King of England, but he almost lost the life of the King in that mountain blasting and sneak attack.

"The King of England is generous. You should be thankful that His Highness did not hold you accountable for your previous stupidity. This time, the military report was delivered to you. Do you think that the King of England has no one else to use in Beijing? Only you, Wei Hejin, and our Wei family can quickly deliver this military report to His Majesty?"

Wei Hejin widened his eyes, as if surprised that his father could see through his thoughts.

General Wei looked at his son and sighed deeply in his heart.

Why doesn't he enjoy his old age instead of carefully training his younger generations?

It’s because I can’t count on such a stupid son.

Thinking of this, he said earnestly: "Don't forget, there is also the King of England's biological mother in the palace. That queen has been accompanying the king for many years. Although she does not hold a high position, the main position in the palace has changed several times. Queen Zhao has always been there!"
