Chapter 77: The Great Victory at Jiarong Pass, News Reaches the Capital
Capital city, Supreme Court.
In the study room in the backyard, Li Yong put aside the memorial that he would submit to the court tomorrow, then held his forehead and sighed a few times.
Ever since he last defended Ying Tiangan and his son in the court, he hasn't had a very good time.
If he had not been a minister valued by the late emperor and had not enjoyed some prestige among the ministers, his fate would have been the same as that of other ministers.
First, they will find a trumped-up fault to demote you, and then transfer you out of the capital to work in another area.
His friends are leaving the capital one after another. Even if he is a veteran official in the court, how long can he hold on?
"Alas, Brother Tianqian, I also want you to come back, but it really is..." Li Yong sighed a few more times.
At this time, Ying Xuanze was fighting with the Hu troops at Jiarong Pass. He had no idea about the battle situation at Jiarong Pass, nor did he know whether the kid had won or not.
But Li Yong still did not have confidence in Ying Xuanze. First, the Hu people were very powerful, and second, Ying Xuanze did not have many soldiers and horses.
If the imperial court did not send reinforcements, it would have been difficult for Ying Xuanze to defend Jiarong Pass, not to mention that the Queen Mother asked him to repel the Hu people for a hundred miles.
This sounds impossible! Even General Tianqian couldn't do it, so how could a young man like Ying Xuanze do it?
Li Yong had a worried look on his face. He only hoped that Ying Xuanze could return safely from the battle at Jiarong Pass.
If the soldiers are gone, they can be trained again. If they die in battle, then the Ying family will never have the chance to return to Beijing...
At this time, a servant ran into the study room quickly. He bowed and said, "Master, there is a man outside the mansion. He said he is from the Marquis of Zhenxi."
Li Yong raised his eyebrows and his face suddenly became worried.
At this time, the Marquis of Zhenxi was still at the front line of Jiarong Pass. Why did he suddenly send people over at this time? Could it be that the war at the border was urgent and needed military support?
He quickly asked his servants to bring the person in. If the war at the border really became urgent, not only would Ying Xuanze's life be in danger, but the territory in the northwest would also be in danger.
If the Hu people were allowed to occupy the northwest region, the people there would...
Thinking of this, Li Yong became more frightened. No matter what, he had to get reinforcements for Ying Xuanze this time.
So he immediately took out his pen and inkstone and prepared to write a new memorial.
After a while, the servant led a man in brown cloth into the study.
Li Yong immediately raised his eyes and looked at the errand boy. He was quite satisfied after taking a look.
Although the man was wearing a cloth robe, one could still tell that he was strong through the clothes. He also had very broad shoulders, so he must be a young man who was willing to endure hardships.
In addition, although the errand boy was standing still, he exuded an upright aura that made him feel a little uneasy.
Are these the soldiers that Ying Xuanze trained in Xiliang? They are indeed extraordinary. No wonder they can wipe out tens of thousands of bandits with only more than 10,000 people.
However, he was still worried about the battle at Jiarong Pass, so he hurriedly asked the messenger, "My dear little brother, how is the battle at Jiarong Pass going? Can your general still hold it?"
"Reporting to the Lord, the battle of Jiarong Pass has ended. The general led us to annihilate a lot of Northern Hu soldiers and also captured the Beimeng Grassland!"
"The general asked me to come here to tell you the good news. The general also said that day in the court, he was very grateful that you could defend the Ying family."
Li Yong was a little dazed for a moment. He was silent for a long time before he finally laughed softly.
"This kid, it's worth it that I hugged him so many times when he was naked. In the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed..."
Li Yong was still reminiscing about the good memories of the past. It was only after a while that he realized what was happening.
Didn't the messenger just say that a lot of the Northern Hu troops were annihilated? And then they also took over the Beimeng Grassland?
etc! Wait a moment!
Could it be that Xuan Ze not only resisted the attack of the Hu people, but also annihilated them? Annihilation would be fine, but he also took their territory?
This? Isn't this a bit too magical? The possibility is very small!
Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Northern Hu soldiers is far stronger than those bandits in Xiliang, and there is also the Bemeng grassland, which is the territory of the Hu people.
Even Brother Tian Qian did not dare to go deep into the grassland back then, which shows how dangerous the grassland is.
Li Yong took several deep breaths. Although he was not a general who led troops to fight, he had read some military books during the years of friendship with Ying Tiangan.
Considering that the Northern Hu soldiers were good at riding and shooting and were very flexible, Li Yong felt that Ying Xuanze must have used a strategy to lure the enemy into Jiarong Pass and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!
Although the Hu people are brave, they are all stupid people with no brains and are very likely to fall into the trap.
Judging from the large army under Ying Xuanze's command, if the Hu troops entered the encirclement, it is not impossible that twenty or thirty thousand of them would be killed.
As for taking the Bemont Grassland, it must have been only a small piece.
The entire Bemon grassland spans hundreds of miles, and it is already very good if Ying Xuanze can take over a few miles of land.
Thinking of this, Li Yong stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, not bad, this kid has inherited his father's legacy."
"It took only more than 10,000 people to annihilate 20,000 to 30,000 Hu people. This kind of record would be ranked among the best in our Great Ying Dynasty."
However, he didn't laugh for long before the messenger interrupted him.
"My Lord, the general has killed more than 20,000 or 30,000 enemies. In this battle, we have killed a total of 70,000 Northern Hu troops! We captured more than 50,000 people!"
Before the messenger could finish his words, Li Yong grabbed his shoulders with a shocked look on his face and asked loudly: "How many!? 70,000 enemies annihilated!? More than 50,000 prisoners!?"
The messenger nodded calmly: "Every word is true. I dare not lie to you, sir."
Li Yong's eyes widened, his whole body trembled, he paced back and forth in front of the messenger, muttering:
"Destroy 70,000 enemies? That's impossible. He only has more than 10,000 men. Even if he tricks all the Hu people into Jiarong Pass, he can't do it!"
"This is strange. How did they do this? Is there another army helping them?"
"That's not right! The court has not sent any support. Without your Majesty's decree, which general would dare to send troops to reinforce?"
"And this guy even exceeded his goal. His Majesty asked him to repel the Hu people for a hundred miles, but he ended up destroying the tribe and taking a bunch of prisoners."
"The storytellers in the capital wouldn't dare to make up such a story! Can more than 10,000 people destroy 70,000 Hu soldiers?"
Li Yong's breathing became heavy and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
According to the record created by Ying Xuanze, the battle of Jiarong Pass might be ranked first in the history of Daying!
"Sir, if there is nothing else, I will go back." The messenger bowed and then turned to leave.
After everyone left, Li Yong came to his senses.
He came to the desk and saw the half-written memorial.
Li Yong looked at the content and smiled bitterly. It seemed that this memorial had to be rewritten.
