Chapter 274: Good News Spreads Frequently To The Capital
Chapter 274: Frequent Good News in the Capital
"The Prince's wish has come true! The three generals are indeed skilled in warfare!"
"It must be the Prince's discerning eye!"
"It even saved the need for a large army to conquer!"
Xiong Zhang, Sai Qingzhu, and the other girls were extremely excited, their eyes shining. They didn't mind flattering the Prince a little.
As proud as they were, ordinary people couldn't catch their attention. But they felt that even using the most beautiful words in the world to describe their Prince wouldn't be an exaggeration.
However, Xin Zhuo felt a little down at this moment as he looked at the Lunar Serenity Well:
[Spiritual Offering: The aura of the Western Qin army is truly spiritual!
Spiritual Offering Integrated Union: Nine out of ten!]
Still missing a bit.
The aura of a great victory and the aura of annihilating ten kingdoms were still lacking a little!
Isn't this nonsense?
He waved his hand. "Map!"
"Map" was not a commonly used word, but the girls were already familiar with the Prince's peculiar language. Xiong Zhang immediately took out a topographic map from her bosom and handed it over.
The girls with excellent calligraphy and painting skills, Sai Qingzhu and the others, immediately ground ink and took out vermilion brushes.
Xin Zhuo scanned the map and took the vermilion brush, marking the locations of the Three Thousand Li Horse Origin and the West River Nine Water Corridor, especially circling the positions of the Zhe, Tuoba, Lin, and Yuchi families, prominent aristocratic families.
Once these places were settled, the Spiritual Offering would probably be successful.
With so much accumulated aura, this Spiritual Offering must be extraordinary, right?
"We congratulate the Grand Commander for conquering and annihilating ten kingdoms, achieving extraordinary feats that surpass even the former Prince Jiang Wen!"
"The Grand Commander's abilities are truly exceptional!"
In a nearby prison carriage, General Jiang Gu'en, Tuoba Kedi, and Yuchi Jun, who were wearing thin undershirts with disheveled hair, smiled flatteringly.
Having been imprisoned for nearly a month, they suddenly realized that they had been a little foolish in refuting the Prince back then. They had missed out on this glorious and magnificent era of annihilating ten kingdoms in Western Qin. For professional soldiers like them, it was simply a disgrace!
Xin Zhuo responded with a mysterious smile and turned around to give an order. "Promote Jiang Man'er, Bai Xuanji, and Yan Chizong to the rank of Third-Rank Grand General, with a reward of ten thousand taels of gold and a mansion.
Promote Tai Xun Gong to the position of Deputy Prefect of the Western Qin Prince's Mansion, with the title of Military Advisor, and reward him with ten thousand taels of gold. Give him my letter of recommendation as well!
Order fifteen thousand cavalry to assemble. I will personally lead them and set off at dawn tomorrow to attack the Three Thousand Li Horse Origin and the West River Nine Water Corridor, besieging the six major aristocratic families and connecting the Western Qin territory with the ten kingdoms!
Issue an urgent order to report the victory to the capital. Let's give the Emperor's son and the Prime Ministers a taste of appetizers."
"Yes!" Three military secretaries behind him hurriedly transcribed the military orders.
Cui Ying'er was a little puzzled. She pulled her reins closer to Xin Zhuo and asked, "Boss, why report the victory to the capital?"
Although she had been in the army for a long time, she still had a bit of a peasant mentality. Let's enjoy our own achievements secretly. Why tell the Emperor?
Xin Zhuo sighed and regained his bandit-like demeanor. "They will know sooner or later, and the result will be the same. They can play openly however they want. If they want to kill me, it won't be that easy. If they provoke me, these five hundred thousand troops will counterattack the capital. If we can't win, we'll run away. Damn it, let's become bandits in Nanli. I heard it's warm there and the scenery is good."
After speaking, he looked up at the sky, at the Little Venerable, Great Venerable Realm, Earth Immortals...
Time waits for no one! Damn, there's no sense of security!
...
In the capital, Andu.
It was already the twelfth month.
On the eighth day of the twelfth month, the Laba Festival, was one of the grand festivals of Buddhism.
The royal family believed in Buddhism, and the nobles, princes, princesses, empress dowagers, and imperial concubines all followed suit. Therefore, the Laba Festival was a grand festival before the New Year.
Today, the Laba porridge was a major highlight, divided into eight grades by those who cared. The first grade was a porridge made from nine types of rice and thirty-two types of grains, exclusively for the Emperor, princes, princesses, empress dowagers, and imperial concubines.
The second grade was a fancy version played by the nobles, with abalone, sea cucumber, spiritual herbs, and jade beads added. Regardless of whether it tasted good or not, it was extravagant and luxurious!
The third grade was for the officials, with shredded chicken, mountain sparrows, tiger and beast meat, and mixed grain porridge. Although it lost the original meaning of Laba porridge, it was still ostentatious.
...
The eighth level is the coarse rice porridge made from a mixture of three to five types of coarse rice that the common people eat. This porridge is also quite valuable.
For a while, porridge in the capital city is expensive.
Fuan Kang Restaurant is not considered luxurious in the capital city, but their thirty-eight secret recipe porridges are unparalleled.
At this moment, two people are sitting in a private room on the third floor.
Wu Kuiqi, the supervisor of the Zhenwu Division, is the person known in the martial arts world as the "Supreme Martial Arts, Chief of the Zhenwu Division." He is a Great Venerable Realm expert with formidable skills. He can easily defeat ten or eight opponents of the same level. His eight hundred Zhenwu Division experts are officially authorized to suppress all ordinary sects.
The other person is Feng Sihu, also known as the Smiling Tiger. It is somewhat inappropriate for this nickname to be given to the Deputy Minister of the imperial court, but it is an accurate description of him. As the second person under the emperor, he holds great power in the court, yet he always has a smiling face for everyone. However, with a flick of his hand, he can easily send someone to their death.
But at this moment, there is no smile on Deputy Minister Feng's face. After taking a bite of chicken and silk porridge, he looks out the window at the bustling crowd on the street and sighs softly, "The war in the Western Regions has captured everyone's attention. It is bitterly cold in the Western Regions during winter, making it impossible to wage war. The thirteen Western Region countries cannot wait any longer. So, based on the time, the outcome of the war has probably been determined. His Majesty has been eating less these past few days."
"The Zhenwu Division warriors like us have no authority to interfere in the Western Regions war, but..."
Wu Kuiqi's porridge in front of him has already cooled down, and he hasn't touched it. "The Western Qin army of over ten thousand troops is probably no match for the million-strong Western Regions army."
Pausing for a moment, he lowers his voice, "Once the Western Qin army is completely defeated, the situation in the Western Regions is likely to change. The Shenji Army and the Dianqian Army will take action. I wonder how His Majesty and the Left Minister will handle it? It will increase His Majesty's prestige and easily eliminate the Western Qin Prince Jiang Yuqing, completely eradicating this Hundred Year Clan!"
"Hehe, is that what everyone thinks?" Deputy Minister Feng strokes his beard and smiles.
Wu Kuiqi straightens his back, "At least that's what I think, sir."
Deputy Minister Feng doesn't give a direct answer, still looking out the window. After a long time, he sighs, "Unfortunately, the Western Regions are too far away, and the exact news has been blocked by the war. I wonder when we will receive any news..."
Before he finishes speaking, a rapid sound of horse hooves comes from the direction of the West City Gate. A long-distance messenger carrying a letterboard with chicken feathers and a sealed letter is running wildly along the street.
"It's a messenger directly from the Western Regions post station. The news from the Western Regions has arrived!"
Deputy Minister Feng's eyes light up.
Wu Kuiqi also takes a deep breath and looks down, his figure becoming more upright.
The Western Qin war is related to the emperor's grand plan and the court's situation. The whole world is paying attention, and the two of them cannot afford to be indifferent.
"Good news! Great victory for Western Qin! Prince Jiang Yuqing of Western Qin led the old soldiers of Western Qin to annihilate the million-strong coalition army of the thirteen Western Region countries at Xiaofeichuan!"
"Great victory! Western Qin army annihilates the Western Regions coalition, completely destroying the army of the thirteen countries! Western Qin army wins big!"
The messenger's thunderous voice fills the air from all directions.
The bustling and noisy street instantly becomes quiet, and countless faces look on in astonishment!
"Clang!"
The bowl of porridge next to Deputy Minister Feng is knocked over by his trembling fingers, but he doesn't even notice it. He stares fixedly in the direction the messenger is leaving, his face expressionless.
After a long time, he looks at Wu Kuiqi, who is also dumbfounded, and asks, "Supervisor Wu, what... what does this mean?"
Wu Kuiqi looks at him dryly and murmurs in response, "How did that kid do it?"
Not only the two of them, but also everyone on the street where the messenger passed by, including the high-ranking officials, merchants, and common people of the capital, are shocked beyond measure.
Just a moment ago, many of them were still discussing whether the defeat of the Western Qin army would affect the capital.
No one believed that the remnants of the Western Qin army would win!
Let alone such a resounding victory!
This is simply unbelievable!
"I must leave first!"
Deputy Minister Feng's face becomes extremely strange, and he turns around to leave.
But at this moment, another chaotic sound of horse hooves comes from a distance, and three or four messengers rush into the city. From a distance, they start shouting angrily:
"Great victory! Great victory! The Western Qin army launched a night raid, annihilating the ten countries of Gouhe, Baima, Louche, Shiwei, Yina, Jingjue, Dayue, Wuri, and others! Expanding the territory for thousands and tens of thousands of miles!"
"Great victory! Great victory! Prince Jiang Yuqing of Western Qin led elite soldiers to cross the Hanhai, reclaiming the Sanqianli Horse Yuan and the West River Nine Water Corridor, with the army's peak pointing directly at the Guifang, Anxi, and Gumo, and other major Western Region countries!"
"Great victory! Great victory! Prince Jiang Yuqing of Western Qin drinks his horse at the Kunlun River, intimidating the Western Region countries and showcasing the might of our Great Zhou!"
This piece of news today...
It is simply mind-blowing!
For over three hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou, has there ever been such a formidable figure?
Four chapters tomorrow!
