Section 64 Victory

"Sir, don't be discouraged. The difficulties are only temporary. I predict that the Tanghe Empire is exhausted and is just a reflection of the light. Although we are temporarily withdrawing from Wen Ning, we have also taught the Tanghe Empire's army a profound lesson. The losses of the two legions are not smaller than ours. If you want to take advantage of the victory, you have to carefully consider yourself. I have ordered Bi Xiao to block the Fifth Legion of the Tanghe Empire going south in the north of Baling. It's just that the enemy is using ships. I think the effect will not be too good. We still have to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise once the enemy surrounds, we may not be able to break through." Ya Ning's face was still calm, but a hint of anxiety appeared in his words.

"The damn Taiping Cult, he actually violated the alliance and stayed still and sat in the mountains to watch the tiger fight. One day I will let them suffer the consequences!" Lei Juetian said hatefully, then turned to ask, "Are we ready here?

"Don't worry, sir, it has been arranged. We have people to put in the city and outside the city, and all the situation will be within our control." Ya Ning nodded understandingly. He knew what the Secretary of State implied.

"Well, take away what can be pulled away, especially the grain in the granary. You must be transported away first, and don't damage what can't be pulled." Lei Juetian walked out of the gate and looked around the street reluctantly before saying in a sad tone: "We will come back again, we will definitely come back."

As the Maqi Khan army retreated to the west, the vanguards of the Sixth and Seventh Corps of the Empire advanced eastward, on May 22, 697, the mainland Gregorian calendar, the city of Wenning was restored. This inspiring news immediately spread around as quickly as possible. The Sixth and Seventh Corps even reported to the top with gorgeous words how the imperial army worked together to fight for countless days and nights, defeated more than 100,000 troops of Maqi Khan, and finally recaptured Wenning Mansion.

On May 24, four Maqikhan's corpses, who were traveling day and night, ran all the way, and finally crossed the Jingjiang River, a vast river that straddled Wenning and Baling before the Fifth Army of the Empire, who was heading south, and successfully entered Baling. The Maqikhans who were responsible for blocking also paid a considerable price. Faced with the Imperial Water Fleet, which was mobile and flexible and powerful long-range strike force, the Maqikhans used various means, and even set up blocks with flesh and blood, which finally delayed the speed of the Fifth Army of the Empire and won valuable time for the four corpses returning from Wenning to the west.

On May 25, the entire Wenning area was restored, and the imperial double dragon playing with pearl flags were replanted in all parts of the city and rural areas.

"Fighting bloody for three days and nights, I am willing to worship the spring and autumn with passion! - Records of the Battlefield of the Seventh Legion", "Following one after another, and taking the lead - Praise the Fifth Legion of the Empire", "Following one after another, sharing honor and disgrace - Field field collection of the Empire Sixth Legion of the Empire" A large number of documentary articles were immediately published in the imperial capital and news media in various parts of the Empire at the fastest speed. This series of extremely sensational articles greatly inspired and encouraged the morale of the people of the entire empire, and almost the enthusiasm of the entire empire was mobilized. From Yanyun to Jiangnan, from the East China Sea to Zhongzhou, a large number of people spontaneously took to the streets to hold parades to celebrate this historic victory. Over the past year, the suffocation that was held in the hearts of the people was swept away. Merchants have put on lights and drew big prices and made bleeds and made concessions to sell. Local governments even directly announced that they would celebrate this great victory for three days on holiday.

At the same time, the grain merchants who were hoarding goods complained, and the grain prices suddenly fell. Rice fell from one silver coin and six copper coins per liter before Wen Ning's restoration to eight copper coins, and wheat fell from one silver coin and two copper coins per liter to six copper coins per liter. This sudden contrast made the grain merchants cry without tears. Everyone was predicting when the imperial army would recover Baling and Jiujiang, and the grain prices would naturally return to the original price. Some grain merchants who were undecided had already begun to open warehouses to produce grain, and the grain prices steadily fell, which made the people even more happy.

While the whole country was celebrating Wen Ning's restoration, some people could not sit still. In a mansion 200 meters south of the Yanyun County Magistrate's Mansion in the capital of Yanyun County, Situ Tai was pacing back and forth in the hall with anxiety, and several people in the seat at the lower head were staring at.

"Tell me, what should we do now? The father has recovered. The third and seventh brothers have worked together to win the Wenning victory in Wuhu. The empire has received rave reviews. The Jiujiu is already speechless and there is no sound at all. I think we should change our strategy?" Situ Tai was indeed a little angry. His father's imperial edict was still in his hand, and his words were unprecedented. Looking at these various newspapers, which one is not a praise for the third and seventh brothers. Seeing that the Jiujiu has lost power, the position of the crown prince depends on his competition with the third and seventh brothers. If he has no performance, he will be kicked out of the game. How useful is it to preserve his strength? If the whole country is unanimously supporting the seventh brothers or the third brothers, even if he has two more legions to help, he will only be able to do anything.

Seeing that his lord was a little out of control, Zhao Chenghuai and Leng Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly and exchanged glances. The situation in front of him was indeed a bit beyond their expectations. His Majesty the Emperor recovered and re-in charge of the government. This was a miracle. Didn't the imperial doctor make a sure assertion that he could not survive this year? How could he suddenly recover from a complete recovery? Is there anything wrong with this? However, the information sent back from the imperial capital did not show any doubts here. The only thing that makes people doubt is that the forbidden palace has been strengthened.

Beware, it is said that His Majesty the Emperor invited foreign doctors to undergo some special treatment. Could it be that he used some stimulating potential to temporarily restore His Majesty the Emperor? This question has been coiled in everyone present, but it cannot be confirmed, and even if it is confirmed, there is nothing to do. In the words of the Lord, if the power of the Third or Seventh brother has been created enough, even if His Majesty the Emperor dies, his side will be at an absolute disadvantage. It is probably even more difficult to counterattack. After all, it is unlikely to compete with the entire empire with the power of a county.

"Your Highness, I'll see if we observe it again. I always feel that His Majesty suddenly recovers, can you wait until the news from the palace comes to make a decision?" Leng Qian saw that Zhao Chenghuai didn't say anything, so he had to bite the bullet and comfort him.

After exhaling a breath, Situ Tai snorted, "Old Leng, the situation is so urgent. You have read the imperial edict. My father is already extremely angry. If we don't show any more, I'm afraid there will be trouble. The last time my father was already a little angry with Cheng Huai. If I disobey my orders, I'm afraid I can't keep Cheng Huai."

Zhao Chenghuai's face changed slightly. Of course, he knew that his destiny was attached to the person in front of him. If he let go, he would be crushed into powder immediately. But he didn't have much to say at this time, and it was worth looking at Leng Qian next to him.

Leng Qian also knew the pressure he was under. At the moment, His Royal Highness Ninth seemed to be a little lost. No wonder the Lord, who had already given up, was already a little despair, and he was also the most powerful. He could completely suppress the two brothers. Why can't he take this opportunity to take a chance? No matter how much he is, it is far better than staying in Yanyun to watch the situation. And if His Majesty the Emperor was really angry, he was afraid that it would be difficult to sit firmly at this position, so he had to consider it. But if he intervened in the war easily, it would be difficult to escape. Moreover, it is not easy to replenish the army now, especially since His Majesty the Emperor was in charge of politics, he was afraid that the plan of his own few people to take the opportunity to add the army was shattered again. Situ Lang obviously strengthened his control over the newly built Third Fourth Legion, and Situ Yuan also took the opportunity to gain the right to form the 10th Legion. The increase in the force of this force has to be considered clearly.

"Your Highness, I think this is better. We can make preparations for both hands. Let the First Legion prepare for war first, and at the same time strengthen pre-war reconnaissance and intelligence collection in Cangzhou. If there is still no news in the imperial capital palace within three or five days, it is not too late for us to take action against Cangzhou again. However, we must pay attention to secrets in the early work and be sure to remain silent. If there is any change in the imperial capital, then we will discuss it again. In addition, the northern border line must also be arranged. Although the Puer people have been very calm during this period, they should not be taken lightly." Leng Qian put forward a compromise suggestion, "By the way, Your Highness, the envoys to the Duodu Kingdom have returned, and there is some progress, but Duodu is still very cautious. They do not want to make such a early determination and require that everything be not disclosed for the time being. After the situation in the empire stabilizes, it seems that they still want to see the scenery."

"Hmph, no matter how far they are, they still don't care about that. It's hard for them to play a big role now. We are still calm to solve the Cangzhou issue. Cheng Huai, is there any problem?" Situ Tai had already left the matter behind the marriage to the Duoduan Kingdom. The most important thing at the moment is how to win the favor and trust of the father again. Judging from the current situation, the father's rewards and rewards to the third and seventh brothers will soon be released. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to show his feelings, he may not even be able to occupy a corner in his father's heart.
