Chapter 307: Champion Marquis shocked the world, held a military parade and personally led the Northern Expedition

Let’s not waste time talking about these people’s plans here, and let’s talk about the excited Su Yao.

Excited, yes.

Su Yao, who had just received the reward, was in high spirits and felt extremely happy.

This is the champion.

Special historical title.

Have the title of Achievement Skill Champion!

[Champion Marquis: Riding skill +15%, unlock the Southern and Northern grasslands maps, prestige with nomads +30%]

Su Yao was very excited when he saw the unlocked achievement pop up on the achievement interface.

The importance of the map is self-evident. Compared with the map of the Han area which is always bright because of the same camp, everything on the grassland in his system was previously in a state of fog of war.

The moment the title of Champion was obtained, the map of the northern grassland lit up.

Not only were there red and yellow power camps, but even their nomadic bases were clearly marked out.

Of course, if unlocking this map is not useful at the moment, then riding skills will be a real improvement.

This time, even after running so far in pursuit of Zhang Chun, he was still not fast enough.

In order to improve speed, in addition to better horses, riding skills are also crucial.

If it weren't for his 200-level riding skill, Su Yao would not be able to ride a more advanced horse, let alone ride a horse like flying in the dark woods.

It is truly a major historical event.

It feels so good to have this military achievement of serving the king!

But Su Yao naturally would not be satisfied with this.

Zhang Chun was killed, the army besieging the city collapsed, and the mission of defending the king could be said to have come to an end.

However, the battle should not end here.

"The false emperor Zhang Ju still occupies Zhongshan Lunu."

"Now that Zhang Chun is dead and the bandits are badly defeated, Your Majesty should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory, wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop, and recover Hebei."

"Your servant Su Yao, please serve as the vanguard of the Han Dynasty!"

"What, Zhang Chun lost?"

"The siege of the plains has been lifted?"

"Aren't there 500,000 bandits?"

"How could it be so fast?!"

Only a few days later, the armies that had just set out to support the king received this shocking news one after another.

Such news is certainly exciting and gratifying to loyal people like Liu Yu and Huang Wan.

But for some people who hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve success, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and their ambitions seemed to be extinguished by cold water at that moment.

This was the case with Cavalry Commander Gongsun Zan.

He was sitting in Liu Yu's tent at this moment, his face ashen.

The defeat at Lulongsai and the rampage of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellious troops gave him a loud slap in the face.

Although the court did not hold him accountable for the time being, he also knew that it was because of his poor response in Youzhou that the emperor was trapped in Pingyuan City.

Originally, he had planned to perform well in this campaign to redeem himself, or even make new contributions and seize greater power.

However, Zhang Chun's rapid defeat disrupted all his plans, and all his painstaking preparations and efforts over the past few days went down the drain.

"As expected of a teacher"

Gongsun Zan sighed deeply, helplessly, and said:
"I remember that Your Majesty only brought 8,000 soldiers and horses to escort us. The actual number of the 500,000 bandits was probably around 200,000 or 300,000. It was amazing that we were able to defeat them so quickly.

It’s really amazing.”

However, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu shook his head after putting down the post report:
"Zi Gan's military talent is indeed outstanding among contemporary people, but the main credit for this great victory belongs to someone else."

"What, this?"

When Gongsun Zan heard Liu Yu's words, his brows furrowed and his doubts were evident in his words.

He was naturally aware of Lu Zhi's military talent, but when he heard Liu Yu say that someone else had made the first contribution, he couldn't help but become curious.

How is this possible?
I haven't heard that there are any famous generals in your majesty's northern tour team.

Isn't Huangfu Song unemployed at home and not qualified to accompany him?

As for Zhu Jun, he was also serving as the prefect of Henei, so it was impossible for him to arrive so quickly.

Who else, who else can grab the first credit before Lu Zhi?
It can't be those youngsters of the Northern Army or the useless ones of the Tiger Guards and Feathered Guards, right?
Gongsun Zan knew very well what level those guys were.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Suddenly, he remembered that there seemed to be a new face in the escort team. Who was he from the Bingzhou Army?

"Champion Marquis Su Yao, the little hero who quelled the rebellion in Bingzhou in the past." Just as Gongsun Zan was frowning in thought, Liu Yu nodded and gave the answer.

"Su Yao? Champion Marquis???"

Gongsun Zan only felt a lack of oxygen in his brain.

This guy, what the hell is Champion Hou?

“In this battle on Pingyuan, Su Yao led only a thousand Tiger Soldiers and Bingzhou Knights to attack the enemy’s camp, beheaded the general and captured the flag, and made great military achievements.

So Your Majesty specially conferred him the title of Champion Marquis to honor his bravery, which was the best among the entire army."

"hiss--"

Gongsun Zan gasped when he heard this.

He quickly picked up the post and read it carefully, and only then did he realize from the paragraphs that were written with very few words that the story was by no means fictional.

It's really unexpected.

The young man whom they had heard of slightly because he accompanied the Xiongnu Lieutenant General to quell the rebellion in Bingzhou and participated in the triumphant ceremony of surrendering prisoners.

What appeared in their eyes once again at this moment was such an explosive fact.

Such a thunder exploded in every team that came to support the king.

But soon, their attention was drawn to another matter.

After all, the emperor didn't send them a telegram specifically to praise Su Yao.

"Your Majesty is going to lead the army in person?!"

That’s right, the emperor led the army in person.

The emperor agreed to Su Yao's request to pursue the victory, but not immediately.

Winter, early October, outside Pingyuan County.

The flags are waving and the colorful banners are fluttering.

Except for Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Cavalry Commander Gongsun Zan and Hejian Xiang Wang Rou who were behind enemy lines, all the princes' armies gathered here to support the king.

Inspired by the great victory, Emperor Liu Hong ordered the prisoners and laborers to build a large parade ground on the outskirts of the city in less than half a month after the war. The ground was grand in scale and magnificent in appearance, and could accommodate tens of thousands of troops for review.

I saw the morning light spreading all over the parade ground, making the flags even more bright and eye-catching.

The soldiers lined up in neat rows, their armor gleaming in the sun, and their momentum was overwhelming.

The princes and generals from all over the country gathered on the parade ground early in the morning, with serious and excited expressions on their faces.

Right in the center of the parade ground, a large altar was built, with a nine-story colorful canopy on top, seven meters high.

Another small altar was set up in the northeast of the altar, and a six-story canopy was built again. The two altars were surrounded by tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, forming a camp formation, which was murderous and majestic.

When everything was ready, the emperor personally went out of the city to review the army on the sixth day of October and stationed under the large canopy. General He Jin, Lu Zhi, Su Yao, Yuan Shu and other loyal princes stationed under the small canopy.

Under the care of Hua Tuo and others, Emperor Liu Hong, whose health had almost recovered, personally put on armor, rode a warhorse covered with gorgeous armor, and stood before hundreds of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers.

Facing everyone's gaze, Liu Hong's face flushed. He suppressed his excitement and spoke slowly.

The emperor first expressed his trust and condolences to the general, then reiterated the merits of former general Lu Zhi, Guanjun Hou Su Yao and others in protecting the king in the Battle of Pingyuan, and took out the spoils of the battle to reward the three armies and the loyal troops that came from various places.

Then, amid the crowd's cheers, he loudly announced that he had proclaimed himself the "Supreme General" and the commander-in-chief of all the troops in the world.

"what?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, He Jin and others turned pale.

what's the situation?
The generalissimo was above the other generals and the three ministers in terms of authority and was in charge of military affairs.

And now, His Majesty, with the power of a great victory and taking advantage of the momentum of reviewing the three armies, has given himself the title of Supreme General and made him the governor of all the troops in the world?

So what is the current situation of me, the general?

General He Jin felt mixed emotions as he watched the emperor walk around the army three times and then return.

He didn't know that the trajectory of history had deviated even further here.

In the original history, in order to compete with the emperor for military power and to deal with the emperor's newly established Xiyuan Army, the general invited foreign troops to help and held a grand military parade with soldiers from all over the world.

At the military parade attended by powerful armies from various border counties, the emperor finally gave in and granted He Jin military power again at the parade. The general's power reached its peak.

But now, because of Su Yao's intervention, Ding Yuan did nothing. Not only was the powerful army of Bingzhou taken out, but the Huben Army was also reborn from the ashes.

At the same time, witnessing the glorious victory on the battlefield gave Liu Hong great confidence.

Faced with the coalition forces of princes who came hastily and played no role, it was Emperor Liu Hong who used the power of the military parade to suppress General He Jin and became the governor of all the troops in the world.

However, the story does not end there.

After clarifying the military power and reviewing the three armies, Emperor Liu Hong issued a new edict to the entire army:

"The time to punish the rebels is now!"
