"Reporting to Great General, in this battle, our army killed more than 135,000 enemies, captured more than 30,000 captives, and seized countless weapons and armors. We also seized more than 170,000 warhorses, and obtained a huge amount of rations and supplies from the Barbarian Wolf camp.”
"Our army has lost 83,699 soldiers since the start of the war, and more than 20,000 of them are injured. 13,000 of them are seriously injured, and the rest are lightly injured.”
"In addition, since the start of the war, we have killed more than 200,000 enemies and tens of thousands of armored soldiers.”
"The military merits are still being calculated. It will be completed tomorrow.”
"This is a great victory!"
In the main hall of the General Manor in Border Town, a general reported to Qi Lun.
"Congratulations, Great General!”
The generals below all cupped their fists and cheered.
"Cai, congratulations to the army!"
"Congratulations!"
After the cheers, Qilun waved his hand and gestured for the generals to sit down. He then said,""Count the military merits as soon as possible and send them to the Divine Capital together with the news of victory.”
"Additionally, I've already told Youzhou City that all the materials needed by the medical camp will be delivered soon.”
"The wounded in our army must be treated with all our might.”
"These are all veterans who have been through hundreds of battles. As long as they recover, they will become elites on the battlefield. Order the medical camp not to abandon a single soldier!”
"Here! We will obey your orders!"
…….
"Good news, good news from the Northern Territory!"
At the north gate of the Divine Capital, more than ten cavalrymen carrying banners charged towards the city gate.
When the city gate captain heard this, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to make way.
More than ten riders rushed in from the left side of the city gate and entered the Divine Capital.
The merchants and residents of the Divine Capital were all excited.
The news of victory in the northern border meant that the turmoil in the northern border had been pacified.
For these merchants and commoners, it was definitely a good thing.
Who would want war if they could avoid it?
In the Martial Meritocrats Hall, Xuanyuan Wengao was dressed in dragon-patterned casual clothes and was reading memorials. Beside him was a eunuch serving him. Outside the hall were the Dragon Guard and hundreds of embroidered guards.
A small yellow door quickly entered the hall, crossed his hands at the bottom of the steps, bowed, and reported,""Your Majesty, good news from the Northern Territory."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
When the head eunuch and the others heard the report from Little Yellow Sect, they all bowed and shouted.
In the Great Qian Dynasty, when the Great Dynasty was abolished, the guilty ministers, the common people, and the sons did not kneel down except when they saw their fathers in important events and worshiped the ancestors of their families.
Even ordinary civilians did not need to kneel when they met the princes and kings.
And at this time, in the main hall, looking at the servants and guards bowing and cheering, Xuanyuan Wengao's face also revealed joy and said with a smile,""Pass!"
"Here!"
The Little Yellow Gate retreated. Not long after, the lieutenant who reported the victory came in with the news.
"Greetings, Your Majesty.”
"Alright, bring the good news."
"Here." The head eunuch went down and took the good news handed over by the lieutenant with both hands. After checking that the signature and seal were complete, he walked to the dragon table and placed it in front of Xuanyuan Wengao.
He also let Xuanyuan Wengao check the seal before the head eunuch opened it. After checking that there was no danger in the box, the military report finally reached Emperor Jing Hong's hands.
Opening the good news, after quickly reading it once, Xuanyuan Wengao was overjoyed: "Good!"
"Look at the rewards. Send the soldiers who reported the victory to the relay station and take good care of them.”
"Here."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The lieutenant clasped his hands and bowed. After taking three steps back, he was led out of the hall by a small yellow door.
"Summon the ministers of the military and political cabinet, the two prime ministers, and the six ministers to come for a meeting. Right, the Armory Division's head, the Marquis of Dancing Sun, Jiang Ju, had also called over.”
"Here!"
The Head Eunuch bowed and accepted the order. He left the main hall and arranged for the Yellow Gate to deliver the decree.
Not long after, the officials of the Military and Political Affairs Pavilion, the Left and Right Ministers, and the Six Ministers all came out of the government offices near the Imperial Palace and entered the palace. As soon as they entered the palace and got off the carriage, they saw a black carriage parked not far away.
A man in a black flying fish robe with a handsome face and a malicious expression was getting out of the carriage.
This person was none other than the Armory Division's head, the Marquis of Dancing Sun, Jiang Ju, who was personally conferred by Emperor Jing Hong.
Speaking of which, this person was considered a new noble in Jinghong, but he was not recognized by the new noble.
At this moment, the three officials of the Military and Political Affairs Pavilion, the founding dukes and the civil officials, all had ugly expressions when they saw Marquis Wuyang.
The Embroidered Guards and the Demon Suppressing Division were famous.
However, only the officials who were truly powerful and knew some secrets knew that this Marquis Wuyang and the Armory Division under him were much more terrifying than the Xiuyi Guards and the Demon Suppressing Division.
The Xiuyi Guards and the Demon Suppressing Division were still spying on important military affairs, killing demons and suppressing the demons. It was also beneficial to the country and meritorious.
The Armory Division had been training experts for His Majesty from the very beginning, but now, it had completely become a venomous snake lurking in the dark.
If he was not careful, he might be bitten by it.
"Greetings, my lords." Seemingly not noticing the wariness and disdain in everyone's eyes, Jiang Ju smiled and stepped forward, greeting them first.
Three of the dukes were of a higher rank than Marquis Wuyang, while the other two were of a higher status. They only nodded and left without returning the greeting.
But the six ministers could not.
After all, the person in front of them was a transcendent-grade marquis. Logically speaking, they should have to bow first.
Thus, the six of them could only return the bow and say," After greeting the marquis, he waited for the marquis to walk forward before following.
In the hall, the 12 ministers took their seats.
Other than Marquis Wuyang, the other eleven ministers were all important officials of both the civil and military sides of Great Gan.
"Beloved ministers, the Northguard Marquis has sent good news. We have won a great victory in the north. We have beheaded more than 200,000 people, captured tens of thousands of prisoners, and captured countless warhorses and other supplies.”
"I called all my beloved ministers over to let you see the good news and then discuss the issue of rewards.”
Hearing Emperor Jing Hong's words, the officials below had different thoughts. After cheering, they all looked at the good news silently.
The important officials in the hall felt strange that they had called Marquis Wuyang, the head of the Armory Division, to discuss the matter of rewards.
However, no matter if it was the civil officials or the three military ministers, they didn't show such strange thoughts. As for Jiang Ju, he was naturally extremely honest. Other than singing praises, he didn't say a word.
After reading the report, the ministers were all excited.
Qin Shiyi, the Duke of Wei, shouted "Cai"!
This time, Bingzhou and Jingzhou weren't attacked by the Barbarian Wolves. The battlefield was only Youzhou.
In this battle, the main army had 350,000 soldiers and 100,000 soldiers, attacking 500,000 soldiers.
In this battle, he had killed more than 200,000 enemies and countless generals. Not only did he not take away the wealth he had plundered, but he had also abandoned countless warhorses, rations, and supplies.
It could be said that the Barbarian Wolves had suffered a double loss in this invasion.
If the Barbarian Wolves were unhappy, then the Great Gan would be happy, and the officials and citizens of the Great Gan would be happy.
At this moment, not only the military, but even the civil officials were overjoyed. Even Marquis Wuyang smiled and clapped.
The entire Martial Meritocrats Hall was filled with joy at this moment.
