Chapter 43-Chen Peng's Fame Reveals Its First Appearance (New Book 1/7)
Grand Tutor Yuan Kui took a few steps forward and took the battle report from the hands of the Little Yellow Sect.
A happy smile appeared on Zhang Rang's face.
The answer to Zhang Rang's question was simple.?
Because Guo Xun was a eunuch, he could be considered a eunuch.
Guo Xun had won the battle in Youzhou, so the eunuchs were definitely involved.
In such a situation where the situation was unfavorable to the eunuchs, such a battle report was undoubtedly a timely help. How could Zhang Rang not be happy?
Yuan Kui, who took a few steps forward, also wanted to see if Guo Xun had made any contributions.
If that was really the case, the scholars would probably still be suppressed.
However, when Yuan Kui unfolded the battle report in his hands, his worried gaze instantly changed.
A smile gradually appeared on Yuan Kui's face.
When they saw the smile on Yuan Kui's face, Zhang Rang and the other Ten Attendants 'hearts could not help but thump.
Was it not Guo Xun?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The battle report of Youzhou Province is a great victory!”Yuan Kui laughed loudly.
Immediately, all sorts of suspicious gazes in the Imperial Court were cast towards Yuan Kui.
Yuan Kui was the highest representative of the scholars in the imperial court, and Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, was a eunuch. Why would Yuan Kui ask Guo Xun for merit?
There must be a reason for this.
"Tell me quickly, what was the great victory and who did it!”Liu Hong was so excited that his hands were trembling.
Yuan Kui unfolded the battle report and read aloud,""At the beginning of March, the Yellow Turban thief Cheng Zhiyuan gathered more than a hundred thousand people and headed to Ji County, the administrative base of Youzhou.”
"Governor Guo Xun and Governor Liu Wei can deploy troops to the surrounding counties. Liaodong vassal state's Chief Shi Gongsun Zan will lead three hundred cavalry, and Zhuo County Magistrate Chen Xin will lead one thousand troops to support Ji County.”
Yuan Kui raised his head and glanced at Chen Ji and Chen Chen, who were standing not far behind the court.
After the party ban was lifted, the Yingchuan gentry would inevitably enter the court in large numbers, and the Chen clan would naturally be included.
Chen Ji and Chen Chen had also heard the news about their fourth brother.
After glancing at Chen Ji and Chen Chen, Yuan Kui continued reading,"
"On the first day, the leader of the bandits, Cheng Zhiyuan, challenged Chen Xin in front of the battle. Three of his men were killed by Chen Xin's fierce generals. Chen Xin's son, Chen Peng, seized the opportunity and ordered the cavalry to leave the city to pursue the victory.”
"Gongsun Zan, the chief historian of the Liaodong vassal state, sent troops to pursue the Yellow Turban rebels. He killed more than a thousand people and returned to the city.”
"The next day, the bandit leader challenged again. Governor Guo Xun and Governor Liu Wei led their troops out of the city. Who knew that the enemy would take advantage of the situation to attack? The two of them were defeated and retreated into the city.”
Zhang Rang, who was standing not far from Liu Hong, frowned when he heard this.
Zhang Rang, who already understood in his heart, finally understood why Yuan Kui's face was filled with smiles.
It seemed that this victory had little to do with Guo Xun and Liu Wei.
But what Zhang Rang did not expect was that Yuan Kui's next sentence completely stunned all the officials in the hall.
"In the midst of the defeated army, Governor Guo Xun and Governor Liu Wei were killed by the enemy one after another. The Yellow Turban rebels took advantage of the situation and began to attack the city!”
"Bang!"
As soon as Yuan Kui finished speaking, Liu Hong slapped the table in front of him and looked at Zhang Rang with an extremely unfriendly gaze.
Zhang Rang hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet Liu Hong's gaze.
"Useless person, you deserve to die!" Liu Hong cursed.
The smile on Yuan Kui's face grew even wider.
"Your Majesty, please do not be angry. Fortunately, the county magistrate of Zhuo County, Chen Xin, rose up and resisted, which was why he was able to defend Ji County. That night, the son of the county magistrate, Chen Pengbing, took the opportunity to suggest a night attack on the enemy soldiers while the enemy army was careless.”
"That night, Chen Peng, son of Chen Xin, the county magistrate of Zhuo County, and Gongsun Zan, the chief historian of Liaodong vassal state, led 500 cavalry to attack the enemy camp. Chen Peng killed the leader of the Yellow Turban bandits, Cheng Zhiyuan, and Chen Xin, the county magistrate of Zhuo County, took advantage of the night to lead the army to attack and kill the Yellow Turban bandits.”
"The battle lasted until the next morning. In this battle, we killed more than 10,000 rebel soldiers, defeated more than 100,000 Yellow Turban rebel soldiers, and captured tens of thousands of prisoners!”
"Your Majesty, this is a great victory, a great victory!" Yuan Kui said excitedly.”
"County Magistrate Chen Xin only used two thousand soldiers to defeat more than a hundred thousand Yellow Turban rebels. This battle has raised the prestige of our Great Han!”
Chen Ji and Chen Chen, who were standing in the distance, were also unusually excited.
After all, this victory was attributed to their Chen family.
As for Youzhou Governor Guo Xun and Governor Liu Wei, they became stepping stones for the Chen Clan.
"Good, very good, very good!"
Liu Hong was so happy that he said 'good' three times in a row.
This was the best news he had received since the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army.
"After obtaining such a great victory, it is only right to reward them. How do you think I should reward those who have contributed this time?”
Liu Hong said happily with a rosy face!
