Chapter 228: The Marquis of Yongan
Defeated, defeated, or defeated.
There was no good news that made the emperor very unhappy.
At this moment, Li Chaoen quickly walked in with a surprise on his face. When he saw the emperor, he buckled his head and said, "Your Majesty, a happy event, Ohara Castle is a great victory."
The emperor's deep mood just now suddenly rose up and asked quickly: "Chaoen, tell me what the situation is, where is the victory."
Li Chaoen said happily: "Your Majesty, Ohara City has won a great victory. A few days ago, Xiao Chucai's general Anasi led 30,000 troops to besiege Ohara City. Ohara City once reported this."
"Yes, I remember."
"Li Jilong ordered Qin Guan to rescue Ohara City. Qin Guan led the remaining 10,000 troops and the Xin'an Army, a total of 20,000 soldiers to rescue Ohara City. Just when Ohara City was in danger, Qin Guan led his troops to arrive and set up a formation outside Ohara City. After Anasi learned about it, he led more than 20,000 cavalry and the two armies fought on the plain more than ten miles outside Ohara City."
The emperor was stunned, "How could there be a chance of winning against 20,000 cavalry?"
"Your Majesty, you won more than just win, but you will also win a lot. Li Xuan, Xin'an Army, reported secretly that Qin Guan was proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, had extremely wisdom, used troops like a god, used the right time and place to arrange Qimen formations, and used a surprise plan to use a strange weapon to trap the Liao army to death. He wiped out 20,000 Liao cavalry, captured 6,000 prisoners, killed 10,000 retreats, seized 14,000 war horses, and countless soldiers."
When the emperor heard this, his face showed joy.
"Twenty thousand infantrymen eliminated 20,000 cavalry, this is a strange battle. Even famous generals in ancient times can not do it."
But then he calmed down and asked, "It won't be a small victory. Li Xuan exaggerated it. I feel it's a bit unlikely."
Li Chaoen thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Li Xuan has nothing to do with Qin Guan and has no subordinates. He should not exaggerate it. Moreover, the Ministry of War will also report the war, and I believe it can be confirmed."
The emperor nodded, "Yes, go and ask if the Ministry of War has a war report on Ohara Castle."
At this time, people were also talking about this matter in the Ministry of War.
Minister of War Lin Shuquan received a report from his subordinates that Ohara Castle won a great victory. He was delighted at first when he heard the news of victory. Now that the battlefield is in turmoil, this is a rare victory, but after reading the battle report, anger immediately arose in his heart.
He slapped the battle report in his hand on the table and said angrily: "I think Qin Guan, the top scholar, was so fraudulent. He wiped out 20,000 infantry soldiers and only suffered a few hundred people in his battle. He thought he was a god and brought with him a heavenly soldier and general. "
"Shameless, shameless."
Just as Uncle Lin was cursing, the palace guards came over and asked if there was any war report about Ohara City. Uncle Lin was stunned. How did the emperor know? He was thinking before whether to suppress the war report.
He also wanted to win a small victory. He wanted to brag about some of his military achievements, but who would believe the results of challenging everyone's IQ? In the end, he would definitely be held accountable. Qin Guan is also a member of the military lineage after all, and he did this to protect him.
But now it seems that I can't protect it anymore.
Uncle Lin thought about it and followed the guards to the palace directly. He was about to tell His Majesty himself to see if he could save some.
When they arrived at the Qinan Palace of the Imperial Palace, several of their husbands had arrived. Uncle Lin quickly asked for the gift. At this time, the emperor came out and said to everyone: "Dayuan City is a great victory, do you have news."
Lin Shuquan stepped forward and said, "The Ministry of War received a report from the Sima of the Army. Dayuan City won a great victory. Qin Guan's 20,000 infantry soldiers were wiped out by the Liao general Anasi, capturing more than 6,000 prisoners, and seizing more than 10,000 war horses."
The emperor looked at Zeng Yu, and Zeng Yu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have also received a report from Hexi Governor Duan Zhongqiu. The siege of Dayuan City has indeed been lifted. The Liao soldiers outside the city have been withdrawn. Qin Guan is now leading his troops outside the city."
"Is there any report about Qin Guan's complete annihilation of the enemy?" the emperor asked.
Zeng Yu had just avoided the important things, but now the emperor asked, he had to say: "Duan Zhongqiu's report did mention that Qin Guan seized countless horse armor and handed it over to more than 6,000 Liao prisoners of war in Dayuan City."
The emperor nodded.
The smile on his face became stronger and he said, "It seems that the victory of Dayuan City is indeed true. I also received a secret report from the military supervisor. Qin Guan led 20,000 infantry to destroy the 20,000 cavalry of Anasi, and scared away the remaining 10,000 Liao soldiers. Unexpectedly, a person who used troops like a god is comparable to Sun Wu and Zhuge appeared in my country of Zhao.
"There are now a mess in the war. What I hear every day is that it is defeated, broken cities, and lost a lot of people and money. Now that I can hear a victory, I feel better."
"I remember that the last victory was also Qin Guan?"
Shen Zheng said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Qin Guan rescued Xin'an's army and destroyed nearly 10,000 enemies. Your Majesty also rewarded him with the titles of Yong'anbo and the General of the State Guard."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately said, "I will naturally give me rewards for meritorious ministers. This time, Qin Guan has another rare victory. I will also reward you. I will also be awarded the title of scholar of Qin Guan Wen Palace, and the title of Yong'an Hou of Qin Guan and the General of the Protecting Country."
Zeng Yu was stunned. Qin Guan was promoted too quickly.
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although Qin Guan has made achievements, the reward should not be too heavy, which makes his ministers arrogant. Qin Guan is only nineteen years old this year, so he will be granted the title of the Bachelor of Guanwen Palace, for fear that he cannot bear it."
When the emperor heard Zeng Yu's objection, he said, "If you don't reward merits, it means that I don't reward or punish me. Who is willing to do things with your heart in the future? Do you think I did something wrong?"
Zeng Yu was speechless when asked.
The emperor continued: "Summon the news of Qin Guan's victory in the world, and also mention the morale of our Great Zhao State, and tell the soldiers that as long as they kill the enemy with their heart, I will reward you."
The emperor's move may not be without the suspicion of buying horse bones with a wealth of money.
When Qin Guan's great victory was spread, the prefectures directly posted the list, writing down the deeds of Qin Guan's 20,000 infantry victories and 20,000 cavalrymen, and writing the emperor's reward.
Some people admire, some admire, and some envy.
"It's true that the God of Martial Arts is alive."
"Twenty thousand infantrymen can wipe out 20,000 cavalry, and even the God of War may not be able to do it."
"Qin Guanwen has the talent of the top scholar, poetry has the wonders of Li Du, martial arts has the power of overlords, and plans have the plan of Sun Wu. I am sure that Qin Guan must have descended to the earth."
"There is a legend in ancient times that in the crisis of the country, there must be stars coming down to the earth to support the Holy Lord. I think our Qin Cixian must have come to save the Great Zhao Kingdom from danger and support His Majesty today."
