"What did you say? The army sent by the thieves of the White Lotus Sect to enter Shu has already been defeated by Qiu Qing?"

What was presented to Li Kun and others was what Qiu Yan did in Shu and the swamp.

In this news, it also mentioned the army of the White Lotus Sect entering Shu, and described in detail the situation of the four-way army.

In fact, when the White Lotus Sect raised its troops, news of the four-way army spread like wildfire. Even Lingnan scholars such as Cui Sujing and others learned about it from various sources, but the court knew that compared with them, there were not many others. How much, Geinna, from top to bottom in Lingnan, almost all rebelled from bandits, and was later managed by the White Lotus Sect to be impenetrable, making it difficult to penetrate.

Therefore, if the detailed news of these armies came from places other than Lingnan Road, there would inevitably be deviations in time and order.

The "Northern Expedition" army, which directly threatened the tax-heavy town of Jiangnan Road, was naturally taken care of, and a lot of news was quite detailed. On the contrary, there was not much news about the other three routes, because the marching routes were mostly desolate places.

But compared with the two roads going straight into the swamp and Yang Fanhai, the news of the White Lotus Army entering Shu is a little *top* point* novel to collect. However, when the imperial spies find out the news, the White Lotus Sect The army that entered Shu was wiped out.

"Five thousand against sixty thousand, defeated overnight, 3 prisoners, the number of beheaded enemies has not yet been counted..."

Looking at the battle report, several chief executives looked at each other in blank dismay, and even Ma Yang, who had not asked any questions for a long time, showed shock on his face.

"Did there ever be a mistake?" Afterwards, Xu Ying couldn't help but asked Wang Jing and Geng Chi. The news came through the military channel. It first arrived at the Privy Council, and then the two Privy Council envoys passed it on to the Political Affairs Hall. , and finally passed into the palace.

Of course, the two privy envoys would not wait for such a big news, but they were also shocked by the content and could hardly believe it.Therefore, it must be confirmed from other channels.

Wang Jing and Geng Chi looked at each other, and the latter said: "Time is urgent, so I didn't go through too many channels, but judging from the few news I have in hand, this matter should not be false, then Jiannan The several major army towns in Dao have now received prisoners, and they are being held separately, and they have all given memorials, which will be sent later today."

"This..." Now.Xu Yingyi's brain is not enough, he is from a family, and he has made some achievements in the officialdom. It is not a fluke to get this position. What is the concept of a [-] army.

What kind of influence does this matter have behind it, and how much credit it has.It can also be vaguely guessed.

On the side, Cai Que frowned, and said hesitantly: "Since the other military towns have captured the prisoners, it means that they also participated in the battle to defeat the White Lotus Sect and enter the Shu army. Then there is no doubt." While speaking, he He also looked at the two privy envoys to hide his deep meaning.

Of course, Wang Jing and the others understood what Cai Que meant.This is to distribute the credit to other military towns, mobilize the atmosphere of grabbing credit, and distribute the credit to Bo Qiuyan.To reduce his influence is to use strength to do it. If it works, it will benefit all parties except Qiu Yan.

Moreover, one of the characteristics of this tactic is that no matter what the truth is, once everyone agrees, "truth" will become what they say, but...

Wang Jing smiled wryly and shook his head.

"After all, this Cai Que was a censor before, and he has never dealt with Qiu Yan directly. He doesn't know how powerful he is, let alone how capable it is for the leader to defeat the invading enemy, so he wants to use power to suppress it. Unfortunately, even those Jiedu envoys from Jiannan mentioned Qiu Yan's merits in their letters to the Privy Council, and their words were even more cautious, which shows their attitude. They don’t even dare to ask for it.”

Wang Jing was not surprised by this, and for the military town of Jiannan Road, Qiu Yan had done a great job, so it was best to leave Jiannan as soon as possible, and he would never take too much risk to cause trouble.

While Wang Jing was thinking about it, Geng Chi said, "We have a rough understanding of the reason for this matter. The officers and soldiers of the military town actually arrived after the war. brought it back."

After the First World War, the captives had to be captured by specialized troops. This represents a great result, which is self-evident!

Before Geng Chi and Wang Jing came to the imperial study, they had anticipated the possible situation, and at this time they wanted to make things clear: "Besides, apart from the soldiers and horses of the White Lotus Sect, there are still soldiers and soldiers who will destroy the army this time." The Buddha Marsh is mixed in, and the situation is very complicated..."

"Let's talk about these adjournments later. Since the Bailian army that entered Shu has been broken, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. I can rest assured that Qiu Qing will do things." At this time, Li Kun finally interjected. The words were already counted, and there was a rare smile on his face, "However, why didn't he report such a big matter immediately, and it took a few days before he came from other channels. By the way, where is Qiu Qing now? Place? Didn’t he be summoned to return to Beijing? He actually offered me such a big gift before leaving Jiannan.”

"This..." Hearing the emperor's question, Geng Chi showed a look of perplexity, "Where is Xueshi Qiu now, even I don't know."

"what?"

As soon as this remark came out, several prime ministers were stunned, and each had their own guesses, but they didn't say it out loud, but looked at the emperor with their eyes.

Li Kun was also surprised, but he didn't show it. Instead, he asked, "What? Didn't the bandit army that entered Shu be dealt with? Why didn't they go where? Did something happen again?"

Geng Chi had no choice but to reply: "I don't know the details of the situation. I heard that after the scholar defeated the bandit army in Shu, he took his troops and left Shu again, saying that he was going to put down the disaster of Bailian." The situation in the Qing Dynasty was actually the most criticized, and it was easy to make the emperor dissatisfied, but he had to talk about it, so Wang Jing always left him to do it.

"Squeeze the disaster of Bailian? It's so big..."

Hearing this, Xu Ying frowned, and was about to make a comment. Then he thought that Qiu Yan had broken through tens of thousands of troops that had entered Shu overnight. It would be too loud for someone to say such a thing, but Qiu Yan couldn't do it if he said it. Forget it.

However, he also didn't think that Qiu Yan would be able to quell the disaster with a team of troops.

After thinking about it, he said: "Qiu Xueshi doesn't know the situation in the south. He said such words. Besides, the number of soldiers and horses he led is not large. If he thinks he was able to win before he came, it was because of the geographical advantage or the surprise attack. Now the south is being attacked by thieves. It is occupied by the army, and there are many operations, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to repeat the old tricks."

Cai Que paid attention to another matter, and asked with a frown, "I don't know where Qiu Xueshi's soldiers and horses come from? I'm afraid such an elite soldier can't be easily trained. It is used to destroy the enemy, and now it is still rashly leading it to a dangerous situation, if there is any damage, wouldn't the court's efforts be wasted?"

When he said this, the others came back to their senses, and Li Kun also frowned: "That's right, with 5000 troops, breaking through [-] troops, even if it's a coincidence, the combat power can be seen after all. When will Jiannan Dao There is such an extra elite army, I don’t know which Jiedu envoy’s troops are under his command.”

These words also revealed the emperor's opinion on Qiu Yan's battle. After all, five thousand broke sixty thousand, and the white lotus army in the Northern Expedition caused huge losses to the imperial court. The combat power of the army is highly regarded in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers. Now that they were defeated by Qiu Yan with a relatively small force, it is inevitable to have guesses.

The military power of the White Lotus Sect has already made the monarchs and ministers present have lingering fears.

Of course, this is also Li Kun's acknowledgment of Qiu Yan's ability to lead the army. Qiu Yan led a group of slaves to win many battles on the grassland, and that slave army is still in northern Xinjiang, and it is already famous.

In the hearts of this monarch and minister, the same chance coincidence, another person may not be able to catch it!

However, no one said anything.

If the soldiers and horses under him are not elite enough, even if the generals are superior, it will be difficult to accomplish anything. But in today's world, the imperial court is all shrewd on the northern line, and the Shu land in the south. When will there be such a soldier and horse that can win more with less ?

This question condensed in several people's minds, and was immediately broken by Li Kun's words: "This matter is not clear now, it is better to send more people to find Qiu Qing first, but the most urgent thing is the matter of my imperial conquest. This matter cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise there will be a mess in the south, if the Bailian thief takes root, it will not be easy to get rid of, the thief general Zhao Hongnai is after Mo Yanghou, the method is not simple..."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty," Wang Jing said at this moment, "The two generals have already prepared their troops and horses, and they have already gone south. When the army arrives, call them..."

"Report-"

Before Wang Jing finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice outside the imperial study room!

Afterwards, all the princes and ministers in the room changed their expressions!

"Another urgent message? Could it be that the Bailian demon has crossed the river and occupied the Jiangbei city?"

This is not the first time they have encountered such a situation.

The so-called military situation is on fire, and the situation in the south is getting worse. There are news coming from anytime and anywhere, but they are prioritized. When the prime minister and the important ministers are discussing with the emperor in the imperial study, some less important news will be postponed. However, there are also important and urgent military situations that are directly delivered to the Imperial Study Room, and a decision needs to be made immediately.

However, the previous emergency military situation, without exception, was all bad news. Either a city fell, or that battle was lost, or simply the surrender of the officials and generals in the army.

Therefore, when encountering such a situation again, everyone from the emperor to the ministers tensed their faces.

Afterwards, a guard came in. As soon as he saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said in a respectful voice, "Good news! Great victory! Bachelor Qiu of the Imperial Academy defeated the Bailian traitor on the south bank of the river!"

When the man spoke, his voice trembled slightly because he was so excited. (To be continued..)
