I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 506

Maybe everyone really listened to Fu Bi's words, or maybe they couldn't change the fact of the great victory.

The imperial court quickly drew up a plan to reward the soldiers, and after being approved by all the colleagues in the political affairs hall, they gathered together to report to the officials.

"Revoke the rewards of Guo Botong and Zi Zheng, and the others will be rewarded by the Zhengshitang to Lanzhou together with the middle officials."

"In addition, the proposed purpose: Xiang Minzhong will pick up Guo Kui to host the Sichuan Army, and Kumamoto will inoculate Huanqing Road in Hubei! Order Guo Kui and Zhong E to return to the court immediately without delay!"

Zhao Xi didn't respond to the astonishment of the ministers, seeing that the rewards agreed by the Zhengshitang were neither excessive nor harsh, they were all done according to the established rules, so it was fine.

It's just that Guo Kui and Zhong E were recalled to the imperial court by decree...~What is this for?

It's really hard to understand, and even Zhengshitang has some doubts about the truths Fu Bi said, and even doubts his own judgment on the martial arts of officials.

Great victory, the official actually did not reward the chief general, and revoked his position, so that the envoy was brought back to the court.This is clearly the only way to be jealous and guarded.

No matter what the reason is, this is a weakening of the generals, and the princes of the Zhengshitang should naturally accept it.As for the reason, it is not too late to figure it out.

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty……"

Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo shouted at the same time, probably to persuade the officials, or to justify the two generals.

"Your Majesty, Lanzhou is indeed a great victory. I dare not lie in front of the leader. Even if there is a discrepancy in the number of beheads, it is justifiable. Everyone follows the usual practice and cannot be used as a reason to punish the general."

When Fu Bi saw Wen Yanbo exit, he stopped.After all, this is the duty of the Privy Council, and it is only right for Wen Yanbo to speak up.

"Your Majesty, stripping off the commander's reward after a great victory will cause the soldiers' minds to become unstable. In severe cases, it will even lead to the instability of the army's morale, which will affect the morale of the officers and will be detrimental to future battles."

"The imperial court has not been short of money and food these years. Even if Guo Kui and Zhong E are not promoted to rank, the money and food rewards they deserve must be given!"

When did Wen Kuanfu become such a good general?Zhao Xi was a little strange.The key is that what Wen Yanbo said was so righteous and forceful.

"Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal!"

Fu Bi also said it, and it was also a supplement to what he and Wen Yanbo said at the same time.

"Do you all think so? Do you think this is a great victory?"

"The ministers really think so!"

Zhao Xi saw that the ministers were speaking unanimously, so he didn't strike up a conversation, but looked at the report to the imperial court again...

The front is still united, and the reports to the court are consistent, even Wang Shao has signed.

It's a victory, and even if it's a little nasty, I want to understate it and just let it go.But for those new army soldiers who shouldn't have been lost, who will complain for them?
Pension?Fifty thousand dollars?It's not even enough to note the equipment on them.

"More than [-] soldiers of the new army were lost! They were still fully armed with firearms..."

Zhao Xi sighed, and threw the Imperial City Secretary's report on the table: "How the battle was fought, here are the details, please take a look..."

After Master Wang left Jingyu Pass in the west, after investigation by scouts, Miaochuan City also sent troops. Nearly [-] cavalry and auxiliary troops came all the way to the east.

Under the insistence of Cao Lin and Gao Jingxian, Wang Shi sent a thousand-man team to the mountains on the north and south sides to guard against Tubo's flank and rear attacks.And in the west of Jingyuguan, the chariots were lined up.

Obviously, in such an encounter, there is no possibility of defeat for the king with a chariot.

The Tubo people had no choice but to retreat when they charged three times to no avail and their horses were frightened by firearms.

At this time, disputes arose in Master Wang's tent.

Cao Lin and Gao Jingxian proposed to send [-] soldiers on each side of the north and south, and advance westward in coordination with the Chinese army... They have experienced commanding battles in Annan's official house, and they are very concerned about this outflanking tactic.

However, Guo Kui and Zhong E agreed that the Tubo army had been defeated, and they ignored the suggestions of their generals and forced Wang Shao to pursue them on the grounds that during the encounter, the soldiers who were idle on both sides had no chance of making meritorious service and the soldiers complained.

This canyon is indeed far away from the mountains on both sides, even if it is easy for Tubo to lay an ambush.

In the end, Wang Shao made a compromise and ordered Cao Lin and Gao Jingxian to lead their respective troops to climb over the mountains on both sides...

How can the mountain shape and water potential be fixed?It is impossible for the king's division with too much weight to chase the opponent's cavalry.

To put it bluntly, it is not so much a pursuit as the idea of ​​a large army pressing down on Huanglong and fighting decisively under the city of Miaochuan.

And along the way of pursuit, from time to time, you will see war horses abandoned by Tubo... Those horses that were injured by the explosion of gunpowder bombs must not be able to withstand the extreme speed.

In this way, according to the situation at the scene, it did show that the Tubo people were fleeing desperately, and it was very likely that they would flee directly to Miaochuan City, or even retreat to Qingtang City.

In this case, it is natural for Speed ​​Pursuit to gain the upper hand before the battle.As a result, the original safe approach of placing scouts for thirty miles has become a tactic of forming a new army and advancing in echelons.

Hundreds of miles away from Miaochuan City, you can still see Tubo's exhausted and abandoned war horses. All the clues show that Tubo was really frightened... just like the official family faced the first Southern Expedition. It was the same as that of the Annan Army, but this time it was a reappearance of the Tubo stage.

Under the command of the two veterans, Wang Shi prepared to set up camp after passing through a long and narrow area, and prepared to approach the city of Miaochuan on the second day...

At this moment, nearly [-] Tubo cavalry rushed out of the mountains on both sides, and rushed directly to the tail of Wang Shi's team.

Hastily responded to the battle, although with the advantage of firearms, blocked the tail attack of the Tubo cavalry, in the process of chaotic dispatch, from the direction of Miaochuan City, once again killed thousands of Tubo cavalry...

Wang Shi was attacked from both sides, so he had to establish a defense line on the spot, dispatch chariots and artillery, and fight back and forth.

The exhausted army is surrounded by the enemy, that is, the new army, even the earlier Western army, in this case, it can only be defeated.

The key point is that the Tubo people actually stabbed the horse's ears so that the horse would not be affected by the explosion of gunpowder bombs, and charged at the Chinese army again and again.

The Tubo cavalry even approached the chariot formation many times...

The situation was originally good, but due to the misjudgment of the situation by the general, the army was in trouble.

Under the anxious battle between the two sides, Cao Lin and Gao Jingxian led their troops and established an attack formation step by step from the back of the Tubo cavalry.

This once again aroused the fighting spirit of the army, and formed a pincer attack on the cavalry behind Tubo, thus almost annihilating the enemy.

This is the so-called Lanzhou victory!

After seeing the detailed report of the Imperial City Secretary, the officials of the Political Affairs Hall also understood the government's treatment of the two chief generals.

"Officials, regardless of the process, the victory is real in terms of pure results. Chen Li has never dealt with it like this."

"It will only take three months for the Bianliang New Army and the Western Army to take turns. How about letting all the Western Army take part in the battle and return to the court this time..."

Fu Bi is trying to cover up for the two chief generals... Forget it!
In fact, Zhao Xi didn't think about what to do with the two chief generals, he just needed to put them in the martial arts hall, and use countless battle examples to replace their thoughts of relying on the bravery of soldiers to win the battle in their minds.
