Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

On the dragon throne, Zhu Shou stood up excitedly upon hearing the news.

"What? Minister Lin defeated Li Tang so quickly and directly captured Taiyuan City?"

Zhu Shou felt a little unbelievable.

The battle situation on the northern front of the Sui Dynasty had always been stalemate. Every time he saw the news, he got a headache.

I didn't expect that arranging Lin Fan to take charge of the northern battlefield this time would have such a significant effect.

"Lord Lin is truly a blessing to our Great Zhou!"

Zhu Shou realized that his reaction was a bit inappropriate, and quickly controlled his facial expression and sat back on the dragon throne.

Then he smiled and praised, and immediately said, "Quickly call the messenger up. I want to ask him what's going on."

At this time, there was already a cry of surprise in the hall.

Many ministers were whispering to each other and discussing the matter.

A eunuch quickly sent a messenger up.

Zhu Shou asked about all the circumstances in front of all the ministers.

Only then were people arranged to rest.

What followed was the sound of shock throughout the court.

Everyone heard that Lin Fan single-handedly captured several cities of Li Tang in succession.

In the end, Li Tang was forced into a corner and asked for help from the foreign invaders, finding four top masters to besiege Lin Fan.

But in the end, Lin Fan still crushed him with his absolute strength, directly breaking Li Tang's last psychological defense and easily taking Taiyuan City.

All these deeds are like fairy tales and are really jaw-dropping.

Zhu Shou was in high spirits. He laughed heartily as he sat on the dragon throne. "My dear ministers, what else do you have to say now?"

"Now that the Li Tang dynasty has been easily annihilated by our Great Zhou army, reclaiming the Sui territory is as easy as taking something out of a bag."

"You originally thought that this war shouldn't have been fought. Do you now realize that you were wrong?"

Many ministers looked at each other.

What else is there to say now?

It was a great thing for those who served as subjects of the Great Zhou that the Great Zhou recovered the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

There will be a lot more territory to profit from in the future.

Besides, His Majesty is in a happy mood now, who dares to say anything else?

Just praise it and it's done.

"God bless the Great Zhou, God bless your Majesty. Your Majesty rules the four directions and is respected by all the seas. It is only natural that you can recover the Sui territory!"

"Your Majesty has a far-sighted mind and a unique vision. We admire you immensely!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

……

Zhu Shou was overjoyed when he heard this.

When he took this position, the world was in chaos.

Not to mention the outside world, even at home he has an uncle who keeps him under control.

Who would have thought that in just a few short years, he even made great contributions to expanding the territory of the Great Zhou.

Of course, in essence, the Sui Dynasty was a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty.

But everyone knew that although they were divided into vassal states on the surface, the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty had long been in name only after being divided for so long.

However, Zhu Shou still had some dignity. He knew that this was mainly due to the credit of the soldiers on the front line.

After the fun was over, Zhu Shou began to announce: "Okay."

"This time, the frontline soldiers have made great contributions, so naturally there will be great rewards."

"Pass on my instructions. The soldiers on the northern front have worked hard and made great contributions. Each of them will be rewarded with a year's salary. Pay it immediately."

"And the war had just ended, so they were each allowed to go home and visit their families for half a week."

"As for the rewards for Lin Fan and the other generals, how can such a great achievement be achieved without them being present?"

"Once they return to Beijing, I will naturally make it clear to them one by one."

All the ministers nodded in agreement that Your Majesty was wise and the arrangements were very reasonable.

After Zhu Shou finished speaking, he remembered something and immediately added, "Oh, by the way, send a message to Lord Lin and order him to return to the capital immediately!"

"Lord Lin, you have sacrificed so much for our Great Zhou. I am deeply gratified. Now that the battle on the northern front is over, Lord Lin, please return early to receive your reward and rest well."

After the arrangements were made, the court meeting ended quickly.

After the end of the dynasty.

Several ministers who were acquainted with the Minister of War Sima Feng walked together and talked to each other in low voices.

"I didn't expect that our Jinyiwei commander is so powerful."

"The battle on the northern front was so intense before, but it ended so quickly in his hands."

"..."

A minister with a mustache said to Sima Feng, with an expression on his face that was unclear whether it was mockery or sneer.

Sima Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing on his face: "Haha, this Lin Fan has made such a great contribution."

"Now, Your Majesty probably doesn't know how to reward him. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

After hearing what Sima Feng said, everyone showed an intriguing smile on their faces, and they all understood something.

"So, we don't need to worry about how great Lord Lin's achievements are. His Majesty will naturally make the final decision on all of this."

"What we need to discuss now is that the Sui Kingdom is such a big piece of cake, and people from other families are watching. It's not easy to divide it!"

"In the future, during the imperial examinations, we can recommend more officials."

"The coast of Sui State is rich in delicious seafood, a precious treasure called pearls, and numerous salt mines. These are all astonishing treasures!"

……

The letter from the capital reached Taiyuan City within a few days.

When Lin Fan saw the instructions in the letter asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, he smiled slightly, but he was not surprised at all.

He knew that with his current strength, Zhu Shou must be somewhat wary and worried about him.

But he also understood that Zhu Shou would definitely not do anything to him in the short term.

After all, he has performed very well so far, as if he is being controlled by Zhu Shou.

In the past few days, Lin Fan has already made preparations to return to Beijing.

Once Li Tang is resolved, the entire northern line will basically be pushed forward without any obstacles.

On the southern front, according to the latest news, Meng Tian has already destroyed Li Mi of Wagang and Wang Shichong of Luoyang.

Meng Tian is one of the most famous generals in history.

His military strategic capabilities were no longer just a matter of crushing Li Mi and Wang Shichong.

It's just like a bulldozer, pushing it straight forward.

Lin Fan was not at all surprised by this.

Meng Tian sent him a secret letter and recruited several heroes from Wagang.

Lin Fan was not too surprised by this.

The people in Wagangzhai were not on the same page with Li Mi, so it was normal for them to surrender.

Arrange everything in Taiyuan City.

Lin Fan then conducted the handover with Li Jing and Yue Fei.

Unlike the southern line, the northern border of the Sui Dynasty had a large border with the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In addition, there are two foreign invaders in the northeast: the Turks and the Goryeo.

Neither of these two guys is a good person.

Lin Fan gave Li Jing some more advice, asking him to pay more attention to the movements of the Turks and Goryeo.

If there is a chance, let them feel the power of the Great Zhou army.

The specific approach was decided by Li Jing and Yue Fei themselves.

After giving the instructions, Lin Fan returned to Beijing with Dong Tianbao and other Jinyiwei!
