Great Han, Chang 'an!
A fast horse galloped into Chang 'an and headed straight for the Censor's Office.
Soon, the fast horse arrived at the Imperial Censor's Office. A fatigued soldier hurried into the Imperial Censor's Office and handed a memorial to an official.
After the officials of the Imperial Censor Office received the memorial from the soldier, they did not delay any longer. One of the censors rushed to Weiyang Palace.
Weiyang Palace, in the main hall of the Xuanshi Hall!
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was sitting on the throne at the head, and on both sides of him were many ministers of the court.
At this moment, the court was in session!
From time to time, some ministers would stand up and report to Emperor Jing of Han.
At this moment, it was Wang Guang, the servant in charge of the carriage and horse affairs, who was reporting to Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, there are now more than 400,000 horses in the various gardens. Horse species…"
Emperor Jing of Han was listening attentively.
Ever since the Xiongnu invaded the border, the Great Han had suffered heavy losses. He had long realized that this was a great enemy. If he wanted to eliminate this great enemy, he had to start from all aspects and increase the strength of the Great Han.
To deal with the Xiongnu, cavalry was the key. The Great Han did not lack soldiers, but horses!
"Not enough. These horses are far from enough. We still need to expand the scope of raising horses and increase the number of horse farms. In addition, I want to increase the intensity of raising horses among the people. You have to come up with a good and effective method for this matter and write a letter to me…"
Emperor Jing of Han shook his head and said to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Grand Servant Wang Guang nodded his head, feeling rather gratified. Ever since the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms and the Xiongnu invasion of the border, the Emperor had become much more diligent in his political affairs.
After Wang Guang sat down, another official stood up and was about to speak to Emperor Jing of Han.
Ta…
At this moment, outside the main hall of the Xuanshi Hall, an imperial censor from the Imperial Censor Office rushed to the main hall and bowed respectfully to Emperor Jing of Han.
"Your Majesty, the border county has sent an urgent message!”
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had been looking at this censor who had suddenly entered. When he heard his words, his eyes widened slightly.
Urgent from the border county?
Did something big happen in the border county again?
Could it be that the Xiongnu had invaded the border county again?
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing of Han shook his head silently. It shouldn't be. If there was really an emergency battle report from the border county, the most urgent Red Feather Emissary would pass the information to him.
This should be an urgent memorial from the censor of the border county. Otherwise, it shouldn't have been sent over by the officials of the censor's office.
While Emperor Jing was thinking, the eunuch beside him had already gone down to take the memorial from the censor.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty received the memorial from the eunuch with a calm expression.
In the main hall, many ministers looked at the memorial that Emperor Jing of Han had received. They were all curious and puzzled. They did not know what had happened in the border county.
It didn't look like an invasion by the Xiongnu!
They looked at Emperor Jing's expression in confusion.
After Emperor Jing of Han opened the memorial, he immediately read the contents of the memorial. Just as he glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing a shocked expression.
After he finished reading the entire memorial, Emperor Jing of Han suddenly stood up and revealed an incomparably carefree smile.
"Alright, alright!"
"Good kill!"
"Well done!"
"Haha!"
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty laughed loudly, his expression filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
He raised his head and stared towards the north, his eyes filled with disbelief!
How long had it been?
He did such a big thing?
Killed more than 15,000 Xiongnu people?
This, how did he do it?
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was both surprised and delighted.
The Xiongnu had invaded the Great Han several times and killed the people of the Great Han. He wanted to send troops to attack the Xiongnu and take revenge. However, he had to give up on this idea.
He didn't expect that the news of the Xiongnu's massacre of more than 15,000 people today really made him feel extremely happy!
However, after he was happy for a while, he looked at the memorial again and suddenly frowned. He stood there in silence.
This scene caused countless officials to be extremely surprised. What had happened? Why was the Emperor suddenly so happy and then frowning?
The ministers, Dou Ying, Zhou Yafu, and the others looked at each other.
Finally, Dou Ying stood up and bowed to Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, did something happen in the border county?”
Emperor Jing of Han saw Dou Ying come out and shook his head with a smile.
"Take a look too!"
As he spoke, he had the eunuch pass the memorial to the ministers.
The ministers all looked at the memorial. The memorial said that the Governor of the border county, Tian He, had led 1,700 cavalry into the grasslands, killed more than 15,000 Xiongnu people, and brought back more than 4,000 Xiongnu heads as a memorial to the soldiers and civilians of the border county who had been killed by the Xiongnu…
When they saw the memorial and the records on it!
All the officials widened their eyes and looked at each other in disbelief.
Everyone could see the shock in each other's eyes.
This was too shocking!
Less than 2,000 cavalrymen had killed more than 15,000 Xiongnu people?
This…
Was this true?
How did he do it?
However, apart from being shocked, the ministers also felt that their morale had been greatly boosted. They were greatly excited!
"Hahaha, Marquis Wu An has done a great job!”
Zhou Yafu was the first to laugh out loud. He was both shocked and astonished. Even as the Commander-in-chief, he found it hard to believe that so few people had intruded into the grasslands and killed so many Xiongnu people.
If it were him, he would probably not be able to do it!
"It's really good to kill them. The Xiongnu people wantonly invaded the border of our Great Han Dynasty. It's time to learn a lesson!”
"Yeah, it's too shocking. How did he do it? Aren't the Huns very powerful?"
"I'm also curious. The Xiongnu cavalry is so powerful and terrifying. How did he kill so many people on the grasslands?”
"Could it be that the Xiongnu cavalrymen are allowed to be slaughtered by Marquis Wu 'an?”
"I don't understand, but it's really a good kill!”
"This is so satisfying!"
……
All the ministers were filled with excitement. This was great news!
How many years had it been since the imperial court had killed so many Xiongnu?
All these years, the Xiongnu had always been causing trouble in the border counties, harassing the Han Dynasty, and riding on the heads of the Han Dynasty. Now that they had seen more than ten thousand Xiongnu people slaughtered, how could they not be happy?
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu 'an's actions have greatly boosted the prestige of our Han Dynasty!”
Soon, some ministers could not help but bow to Emperor Jing of Han.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty nodded slightly. Indeed, this matter was enough to shake the Han Dynasty. It would definitely make many people feel relieved.
However, at this moment, a voice rang out among the officials.
"Your Majesty, although Marquis Wu 'an's actions are magnificent, I'm afraid that this will anger the Xiongnu and bring about an even greater war for our Great Han!”
