However, just as the royal court was in complete silence, a soldier rode over on a fast horse from outside Luoyang. His expression was anxious.
"Urgent report from Youzhou. Everyone, retreat now!”
The soldiers roared in rage, their expressions extremely cold. They rode their horses past, completely ignoring the surrounding commoners.
"What happened? Why is the battle report so urgent?”
"I heard that Xianbei cavalrymen have been attacking Youzhou recently.”
" Youzhou has fallen?!"
The commoners on the streets were not flustered. They had experienced such a situation in Youzhou before.
Now, it was an urgent report. Could it be that Youzhou had really fallen?
If Youzhou was lost, wouldn't they be able to attack Luoyang soon?
"Report! Youzhou Battle Report!"
"Report! Youzhou Battle Report!"
"Report! Youzhou Battle Report!"
In the Imperial Palace, when the court was deathly silent, a hurried announcement made everyone's expressions change.
The battle report from Youzhou at this time was probably not a good thing.
In fact, this time, they might really need to send troops to suppress it!
For a moment, the faces of the generals turned green.
If Xianbei couldn't win, they would run. If they went to war, they wouldn't be able to gain any battle merits. It was a truly arduous and unrewarding mission.
"Bring it up for me to see."
Emperor Han Ling frowned and spoke with a gloomy expression.
He was not an incompetent ruler. Now that he heard the urgent report from Youzhou, he naturally guessed what might have happened.
It was possible that Youzhou would lose its prefectures and counties, or even the entire Youzhou Province.
Therefore, Emperor Han Lingdi's mood was as bad as it could get. He wished he could kill a few people to vent his anger!
Soon, a battle report was submitted, and Zhang Rang handed it to Emperor Han Ling.
"Another 100,000 Xianbei cavalrymen! Bastards, do you really think that the Great Han Dynasty has no one to trample on our grasslands like during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?？”
When Emperor Ling saw the Xianbei cavalry at the start of the battle, his expression darkened.
There really wasn't any good news!
However, when Emperor Han Ling looked behind him, his expression became a little strange.
"Why is the King of Yan involved?"
Emperor Han Ling frowned. However, he was still his son.
If he died in Youzhou, he would still feel sad.
Therefore, when he saw the name of Liu Yu, Emperor Ling of Han frowned even more.
Zhang Ran's expression changed immediately. He tiptoed slightly and glanced at the contents of the battle report.
He read ten lines at a glance, much faster than Emperor Han Ling, who was furious and cursed at him.
However, when he read the contents first, his expression immediately froze and then turned slightly pale.
" How is this possible?!"
Zhang Rang roared in his heart and lowered his head in disbelief. His eyes were filled with shock.
He saw something that he couldn't believe, something that he didn't want to believe!
"Huh?"
At this moment, after cursing for a dozen times, Emperor Han Ling finally saw Liu Yu's exaggerated description of the Xianbei cavalry.
Instantly, Emperor Han Ling fell silent. His expression became extremely interesting.
He was in disbelief, surprised, and widened his eyes.
The officials below were also puzzled.
What…was going on?
The change in Zhang Rang's expression just now had them thinking that it was some unbelievable bad news.
However, Emperor Han Ling's surprised and shocked expression made them confused.
Was this good news or bad news?
"Good! Good! Sure!"
Not long after, Emperor Han Ling finished reading the battle report. His face turned red and he shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, Youzhou Province…"
The people below were stunned and looked at Emperor Han Ling with even more confusion.
"Minister Zhang, read it out for all the ministers!”
Emperor Han Ling spoke and directly handed the battle report to Zhang Rang.
“……”
Zhang Rang received the battle report with a complicated expression. Looking at the contents, he felt even more helpless.
"100,000 Xianbei cavalry…"
Zhang Rang spoke. From the start, Liu Yu had exaggerated the fearsomeness of the Xianbei cavalry several times in order to gain more credit.
It wasn't until this was over that they finally got to the main topic. With Zhang Rang's 'but', all the officials' expressions froze and they focused their attention.
"However, when His Highness the King of Yan arrived, he volunteered to send troops. Then, he led 3,000 white horses and General Gongsun Zan to stop the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry.
Five days later, the King of Yan set up a trap at the Gouyun Stream in Shanggu Prefecture, luring over 100,000 Xianbei cavalrymen. Then, he used a powerful crossbow that the King of Yan brought to kill over 50,000 Xianbei cavalrymen at Gouyun Stream!
In the end, the two thousand White Horse Righteous Soldiers started to pursue and annihilate them. With the help of a thousand White Horse Righteous Soldiers armed with the King of Yan's special divine crossbows, they finally wiped out the hundred thousand Xianbei cavalrymen, leaving no survivors.”
Zhang Rang spoke. When he said this, his voice was already trembling, and his entire person was a little cold.
Was this still the former Crown Prince who had been deposed by the Ten Attendants of the Eternal Court and demoted to Youzhou?？
All the officials below were stunned when they heard this. They were all in an uproar!
The King of Yan planned to use 3,000 to wipe out 100,000!？
The entire court was shocked, and the officials were shocked!
