When Wang Rui arrived at Ji City, the vanguard of the imperial court's army had already arrived.
Wang Rui hurried to the Provincial Governor's Office to see Liu Yan!
Liu Yan was originally receiving the generals of the imperial court's army. When he suddenly heard that Liu Heng had sent someone back, he hurriedly let him in.
After Wang Rui went in, Liu Yan was in the hall. There were also a few generals. However, other than the local high officials, there was only one old man that Wang Rui did not know!
Although he didn't know him, Wang Rui could guess that he was a general sent by the imperial court. Wang Rui bowed to the officials present.
"What's the situation in Yuyang?" Wang Rui asked quickly. Was the war going smoothly?
Or is it because the situation is critical and the Marquis of Anping asked you to come back and ask for reinforcements?”
Although the others were not cultured due to their status, they also looked at Wang Rui anxiously!
Wang Rui had never seen so many officials in his life! Now that so many people were paying attention to him, he felt a little uncomfortable!
Fortunately, he was born bold. After following Liu Heng for so long, he had learned a lot of Liu Heng's bearing.
He took a deep breath and said,"No! This lowly one is here on the Lord Marquis 'orders to bring good news to all of you!
Milords, the Xianbei and Wu Heng armies have been defeated by Lord Marquis! Right now, Lord Marquis is chasing after those barbarians!”
"What is it? Defeated?"
Everyone present exclaimed in unison! Wang Rui nodded gently.
The old man sent by the imperial court hurriedly asked,""What's going on? Hurry up and tell me clearly?"
Wang Rui looked at him, not knowing how to address him. Liu Yan said,""This is Lord Lu Zhi sent by the Imperial Court. If Lord Lu asks a question, you can say it!”
Wang Rui quickly bowed.
He had also heard of Lu Zhi's reputation. This person was a genius in both civil and martial arts! He was a great scholar of the current era, and in terms of martial arts, he could be considered a famous general of the imperial court!
Moreover, Lu Zhi was very good to the commoners. He often upheld justice for the commoners in the court. It could be said that he won the hearts of the people!
But before Wang Rui could finish bowing, Lu Zhi interrupted him and said,""There's no need to be so greedy. Hurry up and explain the matter clearly!”
It was no wonder that Lu Zhi was nervous. He had also fought so many battles. This time, he came with the determination to die.
After all, the imperial court was in chaos, and the nobles and eunuchs were constantly fighting for power. The imperial court really could not send many troops this time, so they only gave him 80,000 troops to support Youzhou!
But the Xianbei army had two hundred thousand soldiers! Moreover, they were all cavalry. No matter what, it would be difficult to win this time!
However, under such circumstances, a troop of 10,000 people led by a child who had yet to arrive at the scene had been defeated.
To actually defeat the Xianbei and Wu Heng's 200,000 strong army, this was too unbelievable!
Wang Rui took a deep breath and then slowly told him what had happened. It was not a secret anyway.
Moreover, there were so many people watching at that time. Even if he wanted to hide it, he could not!
When the people present heard that Liu Heng had rushed out alone and killed ten of the enemy's generals, they could not help but be surprised.
When he said that, Liu Heng rushed into the enemy's army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers alone and was even more dumbfounded!
Then, Liu Heng shot down the enemy's flag, causing the enemy's morale to fall into disarray. Then, they led the 5,000 cavalry and began to charge until the enemy sounded the bell to retreat and the army was defeated.
He didn't mention that Liu Heng had thrown the explosives and frightened the horses. Other than Liu Heng himself, no one else knew about the explosives! Therefore, there was no way to start!
After hearing Wang Rui's words, everyone present fell silent! They wanted to savor the profundity of this!
Moreover, some people still had to consider how to curry favor with Liu Heng in the future!
Although Liu Heng was still young, he had already made such a great contribution. The imperial court would definitely reward him well!
Moreover, Liu Heng was a relative of the Han clan. His family was so rich. The current emperor loved money so much that he would definitely put him in an important position.
Perhaps when the time came, they would still have to rely on Liu Heng!
After a long time, Lu Zhi broke the silence. He sighed softly and said,"A peerless genius! This child must be a peerless genius!”
He couldn't refuse to be old now. Liu Heng had such achievements before he was even ten years old. It was really a blessing for the big man!
This child was also a relative of the Han clan, and his bloodline was quite distant from the current emperor. There was no need to worry that he would plot to usurp the throne.
He was so young and was about the same age as the two princes. If he was properly nurtured, he would definitely be a pillar that could assist the new emperor!
Of course, it might be the next Huo Guang!，Anyway, that's not something I should worry about!
When they heard Lu Zhi's reliance on Liu Heng, everyone could not help but feel their hearts skip a beat!
Liu Heng was indeed worthy of this evaluation! It seemed that he had to be more careful with Liu Heng in the future!
Among the officials present, Liu Yan was the happiest! Liu Heng was able to get to where he was today all thanks to his recommendation. Moreover, he had long recognized Liu Heng as his nephew. The two of them had a very good relationship!
The greater Liu Heng's contribution, the more it showed that he was right in judging people. Moreover, with Liu Heng's cleverness, he could not be blamed for this victory.
When the time came, they would reward him according to his achievements. How could he not get his share?
However, he still had to be on good terms with Liu Heng in the future! There was no need to say anything about him. Anyway, he was already so old, so there was nothing to worry about. However, his descendants would not be able to do so!
His two sons were both talented generals. What would they do when he was gone in the future?
Liu Heng was still so young, and he still had at least 40 years left in his career. He wanted his son to have a good relationship with him. Even if he was no longer around in the future, Liu Heng would still take care of them for his sake!
Everyone pondered for a while before Liu Yan reacted and said,""Everyone! Since Marquis Anping has won the battle and achieved such a great victory, we have to report it to the Imperial Court as soon as possible!
The imperial court's army has just arrived and they are still very worried. We should tell the emperor not to worry!”
When everyone heard that, yes! This was the best time to show off his achievements!
Youzhou had won a great battle, so they naturally had to report it to the Imperial Court as soon as possible. Although they did not personally go to the battlefield, they could still show their merits!
The main credit for this great victory naturally belonged to Marquis Anping. No one could snatch it away, but with Lin Bin's shrewdness, he would not object to giving some credit to them!
Therefore, he had to quickly report his achievements to the Imperial Court!
Liu Yan quickly wrote a memorial and briefly explained the matter. He also secretly expressed the credit of his people.
Finally, he said to Wang Rui," Since the Marquis of Anping sent you back, and you know the situation better, then you will bring people to Luoyang."
Give this memorial to the emperor!”
Liu Heng had also instructed him to find a way to go to Luoyang and report the matter to the Emperor.
This way, he would be able to show his achievements. He would not have to worry that those people would split all his achievements!
Therefore, Wang Rui quickly said to Liu Yan,""I will obey your orders! He would definitely do a good job!”
Only then did Liu Yan nod his head. Then, he asked him to bring along one of his trusted aides. Even Lu Zhi sent a personal guard to follow them back!
The few of them took a simple rest before setting off for Luoyang!
The entire Youzhou Province also heard the news that Liu Heng had defeated the Xianbei and Wu Heng's 200,000-strong army in Yuyang City. The entire Youzhou Province became a sea of joy!
