Chapter 900 (1/2)
great victory!
A rare victory!
In Dazhou, Beirong and Xiliang, more than 100000 soldiers and horses were gathered to fight a general battle on the prairie.
This war lasted nearly half a month.
Lu Hou personally supervised the battle, Pei Meng was the vanguard, and the front was just North Rong cavalry.
Liu Zhao fell on the flank of the frontier army and ambushed Xiliang on the way.
A river of blood and bodies!
Heaven and earth change for it!
Green grassland, red with blood.
The balance of victory fell to Zhou.
With the defeat of Xiliang, Beirong had to retreat to the depths of the grassland.
Recuperate and fight again.
It is rare in the hundred year war history of the Zhou Dynasty that a large-scale field battle won the northern Rongxi Liang war.
In the past, to hold the pass and the city, not to surrender, and to persist until reinforcements arrived, was victory.
Today, the army of Zhou Dynasty stepped out of the pass wall and won the war.
After several years of military training, brilliant achievements have been made.
The Zhou army can not only fight in the field, but also win the battle situation.
When the news reached the capital, the whole city cheered and every household decorated with lanterns and decorations.
The refugee camp is even more rare. Thousands of pigs have been killed, and all the refugees have their share. Everyone has a tooth sacrifice.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees are dancing.
Eating fat pork, greasy, every cell of the whole body is in Carnival excitement.
For months, I didn't know the meat. I miss the delicious fat very much.
Although each person can only get a few pieces of meat, there is also a bowl of bone soup.
Every face is full of sincere smile from the heart.
”The army of the imperial court has won. The battle is almost over. If you rush home at this time, you can catch a season. ”
”Don't think about going home. They just beat back Beirong and Xiliang for the time being. Sooner or later, they will lead their troops to the south. ”
”As you say, the battle will not be over?”
”Didn't you hear that Beirong was so poor that he didn't eat. If we didn't rob our big week, they would starve to death. Only by killing all the Beirong people will the battle be finished. ”
”How many people are there in Beirong?”
”I don't know. So many tribes add up, at least 700000 people. ”
”More than that! In the early years, Beirong plundered hundreds of thousands of people from the border city. After so many years of breeding, I'm afraid that it has already had a million people. My brother-in-law's brother-in-law's uncle is a soldier. It's said that when Beirong went south this time, the Han people who were abducted to Beirong were the first to rush to the south. ”
”Traitor and lackey!”
”Forget your ancestors by remembering them!”
”Even ancestors forget, such people die.”
The refugees were filled with indignation.
”Over the years, the children of those who were taken captive have grown up. Now that Beirong has no food to eat, the first thing to kill is the old Han slaves. ”
”Beirong is cruel and cruel. He kills people to save food. Damn it!”
”It's better to kill all the Beirong people and those Han people who forget their ancestors.”
”It's not easy to kill all the Beirong people.”
”It's not easy to kill.”
”And Xiliang. It's not a thing
”Your Highness is mighty. It is said that with a group of border troops who have only been practicing for more than half a year, they have forcibly intercepted 20000 cavalry in Xiliang. It makes Xiliang people piss off. ”
”This time, his Highness the great prince has done the most. It has been said in the newspapers that if the eldest prince had not retreated to Xiliang in advance, once the Xiliang cavalry met with Beirong, the northwest army would have been defeated and returned home. The great name of Lu Hou I was destroyed. ”
”Don't listen to the papers. I don't believe that the frontier army, which has practiced for half a year, can match the famous northwest army. Even if Xiliang and Beirong meet, the northwest army will still be able to win this game. ”
”Boast, no draft. No matter how powerful the northwest army is, it will not be able to carry Xiliang and Beirong alone. It will be good to keep its strength and withdraw slowly. ”
”No matter what you say, in my eyes, the northwest army is the strongest and the Marquis Lu is powerful.”
The refugees have been debating over who has made the greatest contribution.
The court's attitude was unified and silent.
Great victory, worthy of celebration.
However, this great victory can not be attributed to Lu Hou, let alone for Lu Hou's father and son.
The northwest army under the banner of marquis Lu had a long way to go.
To publicize Lu Hou's achievements is to find trouble for himself.
The imperial court will not do things like lifting stones and hitting their own feet.
How about the credit of Liu Zhao, the great prince?
All the courtiers were silent, depending on your Majesty's attitude.
If your majesty doesn't have any opinion, it's better to pull out his highness and publicize it.
At some point, it suppressed the prestige of the northwest army.
Now there is an army that can fight, and the courtiers are finally free from the fear of being dominated by the northwest army for many years.However, judging from his Majesty's attitude, it seems that his majesty is not very happy!
It's hard for your majesty to serve you.
The courtiers secretly murmured, but no one stood up to say a fair word for Liu Zhao.
However, if you win a battle, you have to pay for your merits.
If you don't appreciate it, I'm afraid it will make people cold.
The courtiers were like worms in emperor Wende's stomach. Knowing that emperor Wende could not give up the title, they offered to offer.
”It's better to follow the example of last year and reward gold and silver.”
The Ministry of housing was a little reluctant, but did not raise any objection.
Compared with knighthood, gold and silver is a hammer trade.
However, unexpectedly, Wende did not answer.
The ministers were surprised.
Is it not that the stingy Wende emperor was not only unwilling to reward the title of nobility, but also refused to give gold and silver?
”Your Majesty is also requested to decide how to reward meritorious officials.”
Without saying a word, Wende left directly.
