Chapter 4-This Child and Person?(4/10!)
"Daye 8th year, in the middle of May, the Eastern Expedition Army ambushed 10,000 soldiers of the Yi Branch with 3,000 elite cavalry east of the Liao River.”
"What?!"
"This…"
In an instant, the air in the entire hall seemed to have frozen.
However, the shock was yet to come. If that was all, it might not be enough to make Yang Guang so excited.
"That night, 3,000 elite cavalrymen used the captured Eulji Munduk to trick them into opening the city gates and killing the Goguryeon King, Gao Yuan!”
"Ah?"
"What?"
"How is this possible?!"
In an instant, after Wen Hai's words fell, everyone in the hall dropped their jaws.
Even Yang Xuangan, who rarely spoke recently, raised his head like a toad that had been shocked by lightning.
Yu Wenshu and the others looked left and right. No matter how they looked at it, they felt that this was a very ridiculous matter!
What the Great Sui's hundreds of thousands of troops could not do, was actually done by three thousand elite cavalry?
However, the truth did not allow them to quibble.
A wooden box was quickly brought over by a few Golden Melon Warriors.
The wooden box was placed at the bottom of the hall, and all the officials looked at it.
"Bring it up, bring it closer. Zhen wants to see what Gao Yuan's son looks like.”
Yang Guang said in a good mood.
Wen Hai walked down the steps, then took the wooden box and opened it in front of Yang Guang.
Inside was a human head that had been simply treated with lime.
"Pei Ju, come and take a look. Is this Gao Yuan's head?”
Yang Guang waved at Pei Ju, who was below the hall.
As the number one diplomat of Great Sui, Pei Ju had naturally seen Gao Yuan many times.
Hence, Pei Ju went up the steps and confirmed it with a glance.
"Your Majesty, this is the head of the Goguryeon Emperor, Gao Yuan!”
"Good!"
Yang Guang's face flushed with excitement as he pointed at Gao Yuan's head.""Send it down for the beloved ministers to see, especially the few generals who have worked hard and made great contributions.”
Yang Guang, who was happy, did not forget to mock Yu Wenshu and the others.
Ever since he came back from Liaodong, Yang Guang's heart felt like it was stuffed with a stone.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and millions of civilians were lost. It would be a lie to say that it did not hurt!
His reputation and prestige had suffered an unprecedented blow.
Moreover, there were rebels in the Central Plains.
He was a little flustered.
Often, the more conceited and arrogant a person was, the weaker their psychological defense was, and the easier it was for them to be defeated.
Yang Guang happened to be such a person.
Therefore, he needed victory to whitewash the fear in his heart and rebuild his dignity.
Gao Yuan's head was passed back and forth between the ministers, and it was not long before it returned to Yang Guang.
"Go, boil the head of this villain in oil to pay homage to the souls of my hundreds of thousands of soldiers!”Yang Guang waved his hand.
Wen Hai sent the box containing Gao Yuan's head out of the hall.
"Your Majesty, did the battle report mention who cut off Gao Yuan's head?”
Yu Wenshu asked.
The court, which had just been filled with whispers, fell silent again.
This was a question that everyone was curious about.
Which army had beheaded Gao Yuan?
In fact, when Yang Guang opened the letter, he saw the name of this person.
However, to be honest, he did not know who this person was.
Therefore, he only shook his head in the face of the questions of the officials."I have never heard of this person."
"Ah?"
"Never heard of it?"
Yu Wenshu frowned and asked again,""Did the battle report mention which army this person is from?”
Who knew that Yang Guang would shake his head again.
"The newspaper only said that this army is called the Qihuo Army!”Yang Guang said.
Begging for life!
This name was not unfamiliar.
Once upon a time, this army was a nightmare.
Therefore, when they heard this name, many people frowned.
"This army is called the Qihuo Army. The person leading this army is called Li Xian. I wonder if any of you have heard of him?”
Yang Guang looked at the important officials below the hall and asked.
Li Xian?
This name was very unfamiliar to everyone.
Someone who could lead an army and behead Gao Yuan was definitely not an ordinary person. This kind of person was definitely not a small soldier.
Just as everyone was at a loss, someone who should be considered irrelevant suddenly spoke.
This person was none other than the Minister of Rites, Duke of Chu, Yang Xuangan.
"Your Majesty, I seem to know this person.”Yang Xuangan said tentatively.
"You know him?" Yang Guang was stunned.
Yang Xuangan nodded." If I remember correctly, this kid should be using a very special horse lance. The horse lance is called the Void Splitter!"”
Yang Guang once again lowered his head to look at the battle report. The station report had indeed described Li Xian's detailed information.
"That's right, that's right. Tell me, who is this child?”Yang Guang asked anxiously.
