I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 698: Oboi’s Personal Expedition
Mahara, who was driven out, felt hopeless. He could not help but murmur, "It's over. The Eight Banners Army is over."

Mahara did not try to find anyone else because he knew that their reactions would be no different from that of Oboi.

Peace returned to the Qing capital again.

But this peace was broken by an urgent report from Fengtian City two days later.

In Oboi's mansion, this powerful minister of the Qing court looked at the report in his hand and began to doubt his life.

"Is what Mahala said true?"

Aobai couldn't help but mutter.

At this point, he could no longer sit still, so he went to the palace to convene an emergency court meeting, and at the same time sent someone to invite Mahara to the palace.

In the hall, civil and military officials of the Qing court gathered together, the young emperor Kangxi sat on the throne, and Oboi stood in front of him.

After paying a perfunctory salute to Kangxi, Oboi turned around and looked at the civil and military officials of the Qing court who filled the hall.

"Everyone, this is an urgent report from Fengtian City."

After he finished speaking, Oboi handed the report in his hand to the young eunuch waiting beside him and asked him to read it.

Some thoughtful ministers in the hall couldn't help but think of the last incident in Jianzhou City. Jianzhou is not far from Fengtian.

As the little eunuch's shrill voice sounded, the atmosphere in the hall became silent, with only the little eunuch's trembling voice continuing to ring out.

"The Zhengba Banner suffered heavy losses under the city of Jianzhou, and the leader of the banner, Mahara, was captured..."

"Tu Hai, leader of the Zhenghuang Banner, fled to the outskirts of Fengtian City and was killed..."

"The reinforcements from Fengtian City were repelled..."

"The entire Eight Banners Army was... annihilated..."

The pieces of news that came out of the young eunuch's mouth kept coming out, like huge rocks hitting the hearts of everyone in the hall.

As the young eunuch finished his last words, a commotion suddenly broke out in the hall.

"The Eight Banners Army was completely annihilated?"

"How is it possible, relying on those remnants of the Huaxia tribe?"

"How did they sneak into Jianzhou City? Are all the Eight Banners soldiers dead?"

"They are indeed dead..."

"That's enough, shut up."

The Qing court's civil and military officials, who were in chaos, were interrupted by Aobai's loud shout.

At this moment, Mahara was also brought to the hall.

Everyone was a little confused when they saw Mahala appearing in the hall.

"Mahara, weren't you captured? How come you are here?"

Mahara was recuperating in Fengtian City in a very low-key manner and did not alert others, so the reports sent from Fengtian City did not know that he had arrived in the capital.

Mahara ignored the minister's questions. He walked to the front of the hall and bowed deeply to the young Kangxi.

Then she repeated to everyone what he had said in Oboi's mansion.

The shock that Mahara's words brought to everyone was no less than the news of the demise of the Eight Banners Army.

"So the people in Jianzhou City are not the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, but the elite of the Tang Dynasty from another world?"

A Qing court official murmured.

His voice was not loud, but in the hall where one could hear a pin drop, everyone could hear it clearly.

This statement awakened the people in the hall, and their opinions were divided into two groups. One group chose to believe Mahala, and the other group believed that all this was fabricated by Mahala to evade responsibility. Generally speaking, the majority of people chose not to believe it, and then Oboi stood up.

"Okay, no matter whether what Mahara said is true or not, you all must understand that the annihilation of the Eight Banners Army is real. We must pay attention to the rebellion in Jianzhou City."

After Oboi finished speaking, he turned and spoke to the young Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."

Upon hearing this, the young Kangxi suppressed the anger in his eyes, looked at the civil and military officials of his highness at a loss, and said a little awkwardly.

"Everything is up to Ao Zhongtang."

If Li Zheng saw this scene, he would definitely be amazed at the young emperor's superb acting skills.

This was exactly what Aobai wanted to hear from Kangxi, and he laughed out loud when he heard it.

“Whether the people in Jianzhou City are the elite of the Ming Dynasty or the remnants of the Huaxia people, I will let them know the consequences of being an enemy of the Qing Dynasty.”

After leaving these harsh words, Aobai was the first to leave the hall to prepare for the subsequent dispatch of troops.

As the center of the Qing court, the capital was naturally heavily guarded, and the Fengtai Camp in the suburbs was an important force stationed in the capital. Oboi got Kangxi's approval and immediately ordered the Fengtai Camp to prepare for departure.

It is worth mentioning that the Fengtai camp housed the Qing court’s main firearms unit – the Firearms Battalion.

Due to the seriousness of the situation, just three days later, Oboi led a total of 100,000 troops, including the Fengtai Camp and the Eight Banners Infantry Camp stationed in the capital, to march towards Fengtian City.

Although the army led by Oboi had only 100,000 troops, they were the elite troops of the Qing Tartars, and there were also 200,000 troops stationed in various places around Fengtian City, so Oboi was full of confidence.

Shortly after Oboi and Su Ai's army set out, Li Kan hurried to meet Li Zheng.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the capital. As you expected, Oboi has assembled 100,000 troops and is heading towards Fengtian City."

Although the Tang Dynasty has only been in this world for a short time, thanks to her martial arts skills, Li Kan's intelligence work as the princess has been quite outstanding.

Li Kan had already sent martial arts masters to monitor all the major cities of the Qing court. As long as they showed signs of large-scale military mobilization, they would not be able to hide it.

More importantly, with the support of Tang Dynasty scientific and technological technologies such as radio, intelligence transmission was also quite rapid, so when Oboi just set out, Li Kan had already received the news.

When Li Zheng received Li Kan's report, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Finally we are leaving. This old villain Aobai has kept me waiting for so long."

After expressing his feelings, Li Zheng continued.

"It will take about two days for the capital to reach Fengtian City according to the speed of the Tartars. Let the soldiers rest for a day and then march to Fengtian City tomorrow."

"By the way, is there any action in Fengtian City?"

Hearing Li Zheng's inquiry, Li Kan replied.

"Reporting to the emperor, after the Eight Banners Army was annihilated, Fengtian City gathered all the surrounding troops. It is roughly estimated that the surrounding troops added up to about 200,000."

Li Zheng nodded upon hearing this.

"Then what the Tang Dynasty needs to face in this battle is the 300,000-strong Tatar army. 200,000 versus 300,000, the advantage is on me."

Li Zheng's words made Li Kan smile, and he also spoke with some emotion.

"Your Majesty, these are the last elite troops of the Qing court. After this battle, our goal of expelling the Tartars will be largely accomplished."

The emperor and his minister showed great confidence in their conversation, and as for the remaining vassal kings and the like, neither of them took them seriously.

At the same time, the musketeers of the Fengtai camp had assembled and were on standby under the leadership of the artillery battalion commander.

When Oboi led his troops to attack, in Fengtian City, Sony had already gathered all the people in the palace in the palace.
