My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 185 The news of the great victory spread to the capital! !
For this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

There is no way the King of the South would be let go.

No general would be able to let this go.

What’s more, he is the King of the South who has been suppressed from beginning to end by Tian Ji’s nearly 80,000 troops?

At this time, the King of the South naturally felt resentment in addition to national hatred.

He took a deep breath.

There was a gleam in his eyes:

"Mr. Li, are you sure?"

"Li has been a Confucian scholar for more than ten years. How could I be wrong in sensing the demonic energy? It must be the demon army sent by the Bixuan tribe of Mount Baideng to interfere with Tian Ze!"

After hearing this, King Nan was still worried.

His eyes slowly looked towards a figure in the darkness.

The figure was dressed in a black uniform, like a shadow hidden in the darkness.

"Mr. Li is right. I also sensed the demonic energy rising into the sky..."

The black figure had a hoarse voice.

After hearing this, King Nan's eyes suddenly widened!
He suddenly drew his sword from his waist:

"The day of counterattack has come!"

"Today, I will imitate the battle of Yuanmen fought by our great ancestor!"

"Use two thousand troops to attack an enemy force of fifty thousand!"

"Obey my orders! Open the city gates and raid the enemy camp!!"

"My sons! Let's make achievements and establish our cause. Now is the time. Follow me and kill!!!"

in the dark.

Guangnan County.

Tian Ji led an army of 80,000 and attacked the city gate for more than ten days but failed to break it.

Today, it opened on its own.

…………

In the camp.

Tian Ji looked up as if he sensed something.

His eyes looked towards the city gate of Guangnan County.

After looking around, he chuckled:
"It seems that King Nan has fallen into our trap."

His left side.

Zeng Anmin stood there indifferently.

After hearing Tian Ji's voice, he smiled, bowed to Tian Ji, and said slowly:
"Then it's up to Mr. Tian."

"Look at it."

Tian Ji grinned and suddenly drew the sword from his waist:

"Let's go! Pick up His Royal Highness the King of Jiang State, the Southern King!"

…………

That night.

The King of Jiang State fell into the trap.

He was captured alive by Tian Ji and his deputy commander Zeng Anmin of the Yuanyang Army.

As for the city gate of Guangnan County.

Also, because of the three fifth-grade military masters of the Breath-Resisting Realm buried by Tian Ji, the door could never be closed again after it was opened.

Two days' effort.

The capital of Guangnan County was completely controlled by the army of the Great Saint Dynasty.

This battle was called the "Battle of Guangnan" by later generations.

When talking about the Battle of Guangnan, one cannot avoid the "Battle of Bifeng Valley" between Zeng Anmin and the eldest princess.

It was precisely because of the victory in the Battle of Bifeng Valley.

This led to the victory of Duke Tian Ji of Wei in the Battle of Guangnan.

Therefore, this battle was collectively referred to as the "Battle of Bifeng Valley" by later generations.

The protagonist of the Battle of Bifeng Valley was Zeng Anmin.

…………

After occupying Guangnan County, Tian Ji did not stop.

After a rest, they began to radiate directly to the east of Guangnan County.

Only after occupying the two counties under the rule of the Southern King did they stop the army and begin to rest.

Afterwards, Tian Ji allocated 10,000 soldiers and 3,000 Yuanyang troops.

A total of 13,000 soldiers and horses completely occupied the Bifeng Valley.

And set up a boundary marker.

This means that the territory of the Great Saint Dynasty has expanded nearly 3,000 miles to the south! !
And using the two cities in Guangnan County as strongholds, they completely united with the Bifeng Valley.

It formed a southern route that could resist the Jiang State’s army.

The north is a huge barrier that can defend against the remaining demon tribes coming from the Wan Yao Mountains.

This battle.

Qin Shoucheng's reputation as a peerless national hero was known throughout the country.

The Yuanyang Army, with its reputation of defending against an army of 50,000 demons with only 50,000 men, made a world-wide sensation.

This also means that the natural disadvantages of the human race in ancient times when fighting against demons in the mountains have disappeared.

Therefore.

The master who created the Mandarin Duck Army Formation,
Zeng Anmin.

It has become the talk of the world.

He also became the brightest star in the eyes of all the people of the Great Saint Dynasty!
Relatively speaking, the contribution of Tian Ji, who led an army of 80,000 and lost 30,000 to capture the two cities in Guangnan County of Jiang State, was not so prominent.

…………

Great Holy Dynasty.

Beijing.

At that time, the morning court was being held in the Golden Palace.

Emperor Jianhong sat on the dragon throne, his face somewhat gloomy, looking at his ministers.

At this time, the eunuch Si Zhongxiao was on the right side of Emperor Jianhong, standing respectfully.

The Minister of War Zeng Shilin was among the ministers, his face indifferent.

Prime Minister Li Zhen looked a little solemn.

The rest of the ministers remained silent.

Either bow your head or lower your eyebrows.

Just because one piece of news could no longer be suppressed.

"The grain road of the Weiguogong was attacked."

In fact, this news had already appeared on Emperor Jianhong's desk half a month ago.

This is military intelligence and should be absolutely confidential.

He was suppressed.

Emperor Jianhong has always been a man of great courage.

Since he dared to let Tian Ji take charge, he naturally gave Tian Ji absolute trust.

As the saying goes, don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you are suspicious.

Before the real battle report came, Emperor Jianhong would not think that the Great Sage Dynasty would be defeated in this battle.

But somehow, this news was leaked out!!

The leak of military intelligence had a significant impact on him as an emperor.

"Now, the people are talking about this matter."

"Someone has even set the fire on my head."

"You say I am ambitious!"

"Say I am ashamed of my ancestors!"

Emperor Jianhong narrowed his eyes and his voice pressed down on everyone's heads.

"I don't want to care about public opinion."

"Now, I just want to know one thing."

"Why was military intelligence leaked?!"

"Who leaked the military intelligence?!"

There was no emotion in Emperor Jianhong's voice.

He looked at the ministers coldly.

There was an extremely sharp color in his eyes.

The words came out.

No one dared to speak.

Anyone who dares to run into Emperor Jianhong’s gun at this time will be in danger.

You never know what trouble he might cause.

"Where is the Dali Temple Minister?"

"Where is the Minister of Justice?!"

Emperor Jianhong narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people he named:
"It's been three days, and there's still no evidence?"

"This……"

The Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Formation Minister both stood out tremblingly.

He held a long tablet in his hand and said nothing.

"how?"

"Imperial City Department's Chief Ji Qing was only sent to the northern border by me for over a year. Is there no one in the capital who will investigate the case?!!"

Emperor Jianhong suddenly picked up the things on the table and smashed them hard on the floor of the hall.

"Bang!!"

The huge sound shook all the ministers violently.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground.

See this scene.

Emperor Jianhong's anger grew stronger.

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to the majesty of the palace."

Prime Minister Li Zhen took a deep breath, stood among the ministers, and saluted Emperor Jianhong.

Emperor Jianhong looked at Li Zhen coldly.

Li Zhen sighed and said, "The military intelligence leak must be investigated thoroughly to find out who is behind it."

"But your majesty, the Dali Temple Minister Wang Qianzhi and the Ministry of Justice Minister Zhang Yuanzhi are also important officials of our Great Saint Dynasty. How can they be insulted lightly?"

"In three days, it might be difficult to even determine the direction of the case, let alone find the person who spread the rumors?"

"I hope Your Majesty will calm down and give me more time."

Emperor Jianhong looked at Li Zhen coldly:

"I think Prime Minister Li has some hidden meaning in his words today."

Li Zhen showed a bitter look on his face, bowed to Emperor Jianhong and said: "The fact that the thief has not been found in three days is enough to prove that Lord Wang and Minister Zhang are indeed investigating the case with all their heart. Otherwise, if they are negligent and find a scapegoat..."

He stopped talking halfway through his words.

Those two were extremely sensible.

He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Jianhong:

"Your Majesty, we are loyal to the case and will never be negligent!!"

"I hope your Majesty will learn from this!"

"........."

Emperor Jianhong had a blank expression on his face. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He reached out and gently pressed his head.

The pain in his temple made him feel upset.

"Your Majesty, I may be able to give you some ideas on the direction of the case."

A voice sounded slowly.

Attract everyone's attention.

When Zeng Shilin heard the voice, he subconsciously frowned and looked towards the man.

The person who spoke was none other than the Minister of Works, Liu Chengqian.

Liu Chenggan, whose reputation has become bad in the hearts of the people.

Some people even made up songs to curse him.

However, this did not affect the court, and Emperor Jianhong continued to use him.

"What do you think, Mr. Liu?"

Emperor Jianhong's eyes returned to calmness, and he slowly looked towards Liu Chenggan.

"Military intelligence is a confidential matter."

"Especially this kind of border military situation."

"There are only a handful of people who know the same as Your Majesty."

"Minister of War Zeng Shilin."

"Li, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet."

"And the remaining three ministers of the Cabinet."

"To prevent leakage, such important military information has always been divided into two parts."

"One copy will be sent to the Ministry of War, and one copy will be sent to the Cabinet."

"The Ministry of War and the Cabinet have sent them to Your Majesty."

Liu Chengqian's expression was calm.

When he said this, he slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Jianhong.

At this time, Emperor Jianhong was looking at him with narrowed eyes.

Liu Chengqian took a deep breath and said:
"Only Your Majesty can see the complete military situation."

"But, here, I want to mention something that is well known."

"Minister Zeng holds two positions."

"The Minister of War, concurrently the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, has entered the Cabinet."

……

Having said that.

No matter how he goes around it, his real purpose has been exposed.

It's very simple. No matter what, I'm going to throw some dirty water on you first.

"All the ministers know the character of Minister Zeng, and he is extremely reliable."

"So, I am not doubting Minister Zeng. I am just raising the doubts in my heart."

Liu Chenggan looked calm as he looked towards Zeng Shilin.

Zeng Shilin narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Chenggan.

After saying so much nonsense, aren't you still just throwing dirty water?

Just talking nonsense here.

Military intelligence would indeed be divided into two parts and sent to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet.

But, there is one more thing here.

Some officials in the Ministry of War were Li Zhen's men.

There were even people from other cabinet ministers.

It is very easy for people in the cabinet to know all the military information.

Of course, everyone knows this.

But you just can’t say it openly.

……

"You bastard, are you slandering me in front of the palace?"

Zeng Shilin was fearless and looked at Liu Chenggan indifferently.

Everyone heard what Liu Chenggan said.

"Not to mention that it is impossible for me to do this."

"Based on your statement alone, what is my motive for leaking military information?"

Zeng Shilin looked at Liu Chengqian calmly:
"My son is at the front line. How can leaking this information benefit me?"

"Nonsense."

After saying that, Zeng Shilin looked at Liu Chengqian with disdain.

Turn your head proudly.

He had nothing to say to this kind of person.

However, Zeng Shilin's words are indeed useful.

Yes.

His son is on the front line.

What good could such military information do, other than bringing shame to him?

It's totally impossible.

Besides, no one has a clean butt.

Except for Liu Chenggan, no one was willing to fall out with Zeng Shilin at this time.

All officials did not respond to Liu Chengqian's words.

Standing quietly in the same place.

"Haha, that's wrong."

Liu Chengqian took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Emperor Jianhong:
"Your Majesty, I will dare to tell you the truth."

Emperor Jianhong had no expression on his face and waved his hand:
"Ah."

"Just as Minister Zeng said, Zeng Shaojun is now on the front line, but the troops under Zeng Shaojun are the Yuanyang Army, not the main force."

"So if the army fails, although Zeng Shaojun will not be despised by the world, his reputation will be tarnished to some extent."

"But if this military information is spread out at this time, the first person to bear the brunt will be the Duke of Wei."

"When the news of the defeat comes, the people's voices for the conquest of the Duke of Wei will only grow louder and louder."

"At this time, few eyes will fall on Zeng Shaojun, so Zeng Shaojun's reputation will naturally not be tarnished."

Liu Chengqian's analysis was very clear and logical.

Hear what he said.

Zeng Shilin could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

“Total nonsense!!”

But Dad knew after all that this happened in the imperial court.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and looked at Emperor Jianhong calmly:
"Your Majesty, Minister Liu's words may seem reasonable, but they are actually traps at every step."

"I never thought that I would lose this battle!"

There was an unparalleled certainty in his voice.

"I have confidence in the Duke of Wei."

"Have faith in the Princess!"

"Have faith in your majesty!"

"Have confidence in the military strength of our Great Holy Dynasty!"

"We will not lose this battle!"

"So, how can we talk about diverting public opinion?"

He straightened his chest, his face calm.

Hear his words.

Emperor Jianhong's originally ugly expression warmed up slightly.

But Liu Chengqian snorted coldly:
"High-sounding!"

"The facts are before our eyes, why should Minister Zeng live in a dream?"

"After saying so much, aren't you trying to clear yourself of suspicion?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's eyes narrowed slightly.

It can be seen that Liu Chenggan and Zeng Shilin are in a life-and-death situation!

Zeng Shilin suddenly felt no anger at all.

He was extremely calm inside.

He glanced at Liu Chengqian indifferently.

Just about to speak.

But then I heard a long announcement outside the hall! !

"Great victory!!!"

"Great victory in Guangnan!!"

"Great victory on Baideng Mountain!!!"

The news of three great victories in succession spread to the capital amidst the crazy shouts of a knight.

It also spread to the Golden Palace in the capital.

“Puff!!”

An armored knight knelt on the ground.

He gave Emperor Jianhong a fist:
"Your Majesty!"

"The battle of Guangnan County is over."

"Our army captured the King of Jiang alive and completely captured the two cities of Guangnan County!"

"In the battle of Bifeng Valley, our army still won a great victory. Commander Zeng and Her Royal Highness the Princess killed 20,000 demons and captured 4,000!"

As soon as these words came out.

The entire court was silent.

Emperor Jianhong's eyes were even more dull.

I am familiar with the Battle of Guangnan County.

The Battle of Zhu Feng Valley? ?

Bifeng Valley? !!!

what's the situation? ! !
