Chapter 225
Looking at the anxious gazes of the ministers, Emperor Ling smiled slightly and didn't care, he said loudly: "Zhang Rang, please read this memorial to all the dear ones."

Everyone received the memorial, with serious expressions and a meticulous look.Everyone seemed a little speechless, but the eunuch's high-pitched duck voice was really enough.

"My humble minister, Chen Ran, leads the army and invades Xianbei..."

"Breaking the Xianbei royal court, beheading the Xianbei leader Helian, the tribal master Que Ji, Ke Zui, and the deduction of the law of the day..."

"After numerous battles, more than 20 Xianbei soldiers were beheaded, and nearly [-] were killed. More than [-] people were killed or injured..."

Although Zhang Rang's eunuch's voice is very good, but at the moment no one is distracted, they are all listening to Zhang Rang's words attentively.

Zhang Rang read every word without any cadence, but it was extremely harsh to the ears of the officials, and most of them changed their faces.

If nothing else, it's incredible.

The last battle report killed 10 Xianbei cavalry, which is still within an acceptable range. After all, the Han army has [-] troops, and it is understandable to besiege [-] Xianbei troops with more defeats.

But you went out with an army of 20, beheaded nearly 2 Xianbei soldiers, and the Han army lost more than 90.00 people?Are you kidding me?At this moment, [-]% of the court officials have such thoughts in their hearts.This news is really too unbelievable.

They feel that they are thinking rationally.Most of the people present were veterans in the officialdom, and they remembered Xiping's big defeat in the seventh year better than anyone else.

The big guys were eager to fight Xianbei, but as soon as the army came out, they looked confused and were defeated in an instant. Seven or eight out of ten of the army were killed or injured, which was so cool.

This is to see Xianbei's powerful strength. If it can be defeated so easily, what is it?They really didn't believe it, Xianbei's strength had already entered their minds.

Today's Xianbei is just like the Xiongnu back then. The Xiongnu were powerful and oppressed the big Han. Emperor Wendi Jingdi was powerless, and even adopted the strategy of making peace.

Only in the period of Emperor Wu, when the great general Wei Qing and the hussar general Huo Qubing were born, did they sweep away the Xiongnu, killing the Xiongnu so that they could not find their way to the north.

But now, where did Wei Qing come from, where did Huo Qubing come from?
The ministers knew that Chen Ran was outstanding in the crusade against the Yellow Turban Bandits, but that didn't mean they thought Chen Ran could kill Xianbei.Also killed the Xianbei leader?
Such bragging?Are you not afraid of God?

In the absence of evidence, most people choose not to believe.

The fact is indeed a bit unbelievable, if it wasn't for Xianbei's contempt for the Han army, if it wasn't for the Xianbei army insisting on toughness, if it wasn't for the Xianbei generals thinking that they were awesome...

However, some people seemed hesitant, just like Yuan Wei.He frowned slightly, puzzled in his heart, and didn't know whether to believe it or not.

The voice in his heart told him not to be cowardly but to do it, and rationally he felt that the news was a bit false, so it was better not to show up.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Wei felt that he should just sit back and watch the tigers fight!It neither expresses explicit support nor refute, it depends on what the bigwigs here say.

He Jin had a stern look on his face, and he was a little ferocious, and he thought to himself: "Chen Ziling, you are just a brat, do you really think that you will be invincible if you make two contributions?"

"How dare you boast so much in front of His Majesty today? You don't know that people are not enough to swallow elephants, and this is what you will do to die."

He Jin stepped out of the queue immediately, cupped his hands to Emperor Ling and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Emperor Ling glanced at him and smiled lightly. He naturally knew that He Jin and Chen Ran were not on good terms, and he was the first to jump out to make trouble every time.He didn't seem to mind, and asked, "What is He Aiqing's announcement?"

He Jin replied: "The humble minister wants to play the chariot and cavalry general Chen Ran, deceive the king and ignore him, arrogant and conceited!"

Emperor Ling frowned, and asked back: "How can you deceive the emperor and be arrogant?"

"Chen Ran falsely reported his achievements and deceived His Majesty. Isn't he deceiving the emperor? He thought that his achievements were outstanding, so he was so arrogant, and he casually killed nearly 20 Xianbei troops. Isn't it arrogant?" He Jin looked serious and righteous. Right words.

Emperor Ling was amused when he heard the words, and his face remained calm. He looked at He Jin and asked, "How did He Aiqing know that Chen Ran was deceiving the emperor? If so, what should we do?"

He Jin hated in his heart, gritted his teeth and replied: "If Chen Ran really killed so many Xianbei foreigners, broke the Xianbei royal court, and made such a great contribution, I will come to apologize personally!"

Emperor Ling raised his head and said: "It seems that He Aiqing is really confident, no matter what, since Chen Qing submitted the battle report, if it is false or inconsistent, I will definitely punish him severely!"

Emperor Ling looked at the ministers again, and asked, "Do you have other matters, dear ones?"

Immediately afterwards, someone came out to criticize Chen Ran.They belonged to the rank of General He Jin. Now He Jin came out to speak, and they naturally wanted to come out to support him, but to be honest, they didn't believe it either.

Seeing that none of the ministers supported Chen Ran, Emperor Ling became interested. Seeing that everyone was silent, Emperor Ling laughed and said: "In this case, all lovers, let's leave first. Chen Qing's battle report is over. Let’s deal with it some time.”

The ministers retreated.

Emperor Ling stayed alone in the Chongzheng Hall, smiled slightly, and murmured: "This way, it's really interesting."

He Jin, who is now a general and the elder brother of Empress He, is not easy for Emperor Ling to handle.

But now He Jin insists on pulling himself in front of Chen Ran's cannon, I'm afraid it will be very painful!
Emperor Ling didn't see Chen Ran's real hammer either, but for some reason, Emperor Ling was filled with terrifying self-confidence.

Maybe it won't take long, another burst of face slapping!

……

Far away in Cloud City.

After sending the battle report to Luoyang, Huangfusong arranged for troops to transport the heads of the captured Xianbei army to Luoyang, including the Xianbei leader Helian and the corpses of the other three leaders.

This is indeed a huge project.Huangfusong arranged a lot of chariots and horses, escorted by tens of thousands of people, and headed for Luoyang in a mighty way.

And at this moment, in the Yamen of Yunzhong City.

"My lord, now that Xianbei has been defeated, and the war has stopped for a while, should we return to Luoyang, or what?" Huang Zhong asked Chen Ran after discussing matters.

Chen Ran shook his head slightly and replied: "It's too early to return to Luoyang now, and there is still one thing to be done, how can we just return here?"

Jia Xu said again: "My lord, is he still planning to attack the Huns? But the Huns are too far away from Bingzhou. If they want to attack the Huns, it will cost a lot of manpower and financial resources. I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results!"

Chen Ran curled his lips and said, "If this Xiongnu is let go so easily, what will happen to the dead people of my big man? How can we be worthy of their spirits in heaven? We must seek justice for this matter."

Jia Xu thought for a while, and persuaded: "The attack on the Xianbei royal court this time will definitely shock Saibei, and the Xiongnu may not dare to act rashly in the future."

Chen Ran looked at Jia Xu solemnly, and said, "I heard that the ancient Chen Tang said that whoever offends me will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

Jia Xu nodded slightly, without any change in expression, and replied: "My lord's meaning, I understand!"
