Chapter 117 It’s clear

After the soldiers from Beijun escorted the barbarians away from them, Li Feng said to Lin Xiuming with a smile on his face: "General Lin, let's keep moving forward. Soon we will arrive at the battlefield where the fiercest fighting was last night.

After hearing Li Feng's voice, Lin Xiuming, who was in a daze, came back to his senses.

All he could think about was writing notes.

"Oh, okay."

Having said this, Lin Xiuming loudly said to the soldiers behind him: "Keep moving forward!"

Hearing Lin Xiuming's voice, the imperial soldiers who had gone blank came back to their senses.

The scene that just happened was still so unreal in their eyes.

They even doubted whether they were actually still on the way to Beijun, and what they saw just now was just a dream they had on the way because they were too tired from the march. In fact, Yancheng might have been captured by the barbarians. .

Of course, they know very well that this is reality.

After a while, under the leadership of Li Feng, the court's 70,000-strong army arrived at the place where Mu Changtian and the black cavalry met last night. It was also the place where the most barbarian soldiers died.

The entire river beach was covered with the corpses of barbarian soldiers. At a glance, there was no end in sight.

Seeing such corpses of barbarian soldiers, even the imperial soldiers who had been mentally prepared were stunned at this moment.

Compared with the tragic corpses they saw before, the corpses of the barbarian soldiers here were more complete and not so fragmented.

But this scene of corpses strewn across the field was no less shocking to people than the bloody battlefield just now.

The corpses of the barbarian soldiers had been piled up, and the water of the Wanning River was dyed very red, as if the entire river had turned into blood.

With 200,000 barbarian soldiers, Beijun's combat effectiveness is also terrifying!

Lin Xiuming and the soldiers couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

It’s been a long time since Daxia has seen an army with such fierce fighting power!

No, it should be said that there has never been a vassal king with such strength in Daxia!

Emperor Xia put King Bei in Beijun, but he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

At this time, Li Feng said to Lin Xiuming: "General Lin, I leave it to you to clean the battlefield. The soldiers in Beijun fought bloody battles all night last night. They are exhausted and unable to clean the battlefield."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Lin Xiuming came to his senses again. He immediately said: "Okay, General Li, you can go and have a rest. Just leave the rest to us."

Li Feng said: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Lin Xiuming said politely: "No trouble, this is what we should do."

As soon as Lin Xiuming finished speaking, Li Feng turned around on his horse and left the battlefield directly.

Looking at Li Feng's leaving figure, Lin Xiuming fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhou Yu's voice sounded beside Lin Xiuming, "General, how do we report the matter in Beijun?"

The results of Beijun's battles were really shocking. Even if such results were reported, I'm afraid the imperial court would not believe them.

Lin Xiuming thought for a moment, and then said: "Report it truthfully."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "General, do you really want to report it truthfully?"

Hearing Zhou Yu's question, Lin Xiuming turned to look at Zhou Yu, and then asked seriously: "What? Do you still want to take credit for your success?"

Zhou Yu quickly said: "General, this is not what I mean. I just feel that if we report truthfully, we may offend King Bei."

Zhou Yu thought to himself, how dare he covet such military glory.

If Beijun only repelled the barbarian attack, they might be able to be a little greedy for military merit when reporting, saying what role their court's 70,000-strong army had played.

But it was different now. Before their imperial army arrived at Yancheng, the war between Beijun and the barbarians had already ended.

Not only was it over, it ended with a crushing win for North County.

If they were greedy for such military honors, and if the superiors found out, they would definitely be exiled or their whole family would be beheaded.

What's more, after seeing the tens of thousands of heavy cavalry in Beijun, who among them would dare to think of coveting military merit?

The Northern King is obviously not an ordinary person. If they dare to embezzle the Northern King's military exploits, I'm afraid the Northern King will kill them first before the court investigates them.

Although Zhou Yu belonged to the Eighth Prince, after seeing the heavy cavalry from Beijun and the mountains of corpses of the barbarian soldiers on the battlefield, he no longer had the slightest idea to do anything.

He also wanted to return to the capital alive.

The strength of Beiwang Mansion is so terrifying, who dares to make small moves under Beiwang's nose.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lin Xiuming thought for a while, and then said: "Ignore the Northern King for now, send a red silk messenger to deliver the battle report to the court in the evening. If the Northern King does not send someone to intercept, that would be the best. If he After sending someone to intercept it, I, the general, will go to the Beiwang Mansion in person to discuss with the Beiwang how to report it to the court."

Regardless of whether the court minister believed in Beijun's results, anyway, once Beijun's affairs were reported to the court, Beiwang's strength would no longer be hidden, so Lin Xiuming was also worried that Beiwang would intercept their Hong Ling messenger.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Order the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield!"

After Lin Xiuming finished speaking, the imperial court's 70,000-strong army began to clean up the battlefield.

Originally, their 70,000 soldiers were the elite of the imperial court, all experienced warriors, but now they were reduced to responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

However, most of the soldiers did not complain. Compared with fighting the barbarian soldiers head-on, the job of carrying their corpses was easier and there was no danger to their lives.

And after seeing Beijun's terrifying strength, they were willing to clean the battlefield for Beijun's soldiers.

at dusk.

Inside the tent.

Lin Xiuming was lying on the table writing a battle report, when a red-robed eunuch walked in. The eunuch was the supervisor of the imperial army this time.

Like Lin Xiuming and others, he was also shocked by Beijun's strength.

At the same time, he also had a worry in his heart, that is, whether his battle report could be sent out of Beijun.

Both the generals who supervise the army and the generals who fight need to write battle reports, and they cannot communicate with each other. This is to prevent the generals who lead the troops from falsely reporting their military exploits.

Originally, Eunuch Wang did not need to come to Lin Xiuming. After writing the battle report, he could directly send the red silk messenger to deliver the letter. However, when he thought that his battle report could not be delivered, Eunuch Wang still came to Lin Xiuming's tent.

Seeing the supervisors entering his tent, Lin Xiuming asked: "Eunuch Wang, what can I do for you?"

The prince asked with a sad face: "General Lin, have you finished writing your battle report?"

Lin Xiuming said: "I am writing. The prince came to see me. Is he going to collude with me to report the battle? This is impossible."

Eunuch Wang said: "Oh, General Lin, what time has it been? You still have the heart to joke."

"General Lin, you don't know what situation we are in now, do you?"

"King Bei didn't even let us enter the city, but let us camp in the Wanning Valley. This shows that he is on guard against us. Whether our battle report can be sent out is a question!"

Lin Xiuming said calmly: "What does the prince mean?"

Eunuch Wang said: "Our idea is to discuss it with King Bei first to see what he says and what can and cannot be written, so that we can have a good idea."

Lin Xiuming said: "Is it possible that the prince wants to hide the results of Beijun's battle?"

Eunuch Wang said: "It's not whether we want to hide it or not. The key is whether King Bei wants to let the court know."

Lin Xiuming continued to immerse himself in writing the battle report, and said as he wrote: "Eunuch Wang, do you think King Bei can hide such amazing results from the court? Even if we make a false report, the court will soon know what happened in Beijun."

"The King of the North is not a fool. He killed 200,000 barbarians and captured 100,000 barbarians. This news has spread throughout Yancheng. Soon your majesty's shadow guards will know, and what happened in Beijun will also reach your majesty's ears. .”

"We should let the court know. King Bei will let the court know. Let's just write it. If King Bei really intercepts our battle report, it will be the same if we go to the Prince's Mansion to find him."

Hearing what Lin Xiuming said, Wang Gonggong felt that it made sense, and then said: "Okay, then our family will listen to General Lin. General Lin, let us know after you send the battle report, and our family will follow Send the Hong Ling messenger again."

The prince wanted to see if Lin Xiuming's battle report could be sent out first. If Lin Xiuming's battle report had been sent out, then he would have someone else deliver it. If Lin Xiuming's battle report was stopped by Bei Wang Mansion, he would go immediately. Find the King of the North to avoid offending the King of the North.

In the dead of night.

The palace.

Lu Chen had just finished taking a shower and planned to go to Bai Qingqing's room to do some exercise.

At this time, a female guard came to Lu Chen.

"Your Majesty, Commander Qin stopped the imperial court's Hong Ling messenger. He asked his subordinates to ask you if you need to check their battle reports before letting them go?"

Lu Chen immediately said: "No need, if the king really does this and the court finds out, he may not immediately become a traitor."

The battle report of the Hong Ling Messenger is one-to-one, which means that when it is sent from the frontline general, the first person to open it and view it must be the emperor.

If he, a vassal king, opened the Hong Ling Messenger's battle report and checked it, he would definitely be accused of being a traitor if it was known later. This would be a no-brainer.

Moreover, the results obtained by Beijun were too great to be hidden from the court. Lu Chen had no intention of hiding it, he directly played his cards openly and concealed what he was doing.

There are tens of thousands of heavy cavalry and hundreds of thousands of barbarian prisoners. Do we still need to be as timid as before?

No need at all!

Moreover, his father's focus was on the aristocratic family, so he had no intention of cutting down the vassal.

After hearing what Lu Chen said, the guard said: "I understand what the prince means. I will ask Commander Qin to let the Hong Ling messenger leave."

Having said this, the female guard immediately turned around and left the yard.

A few days later.

Anping City.

After Mu Zixuan and the others arrived in Anping City, they had been worried about the situation in Yancheng and often sent people from the palace to Yancheng to inquire about information.

Chu Yuqin was sitting in the courtyard at this time, listless. She suddenly realized that without her Chen'er, she couldn't cheer up.

In the past, she always wanted to keep a distance from Lu Chen to avoid a conflict, but in the end she was really separated, but she was very reluctant to let go.

Chu Yuqin sighed deeply, "Sigh, I don't know when I will be able to see Chen'er again."

At this time, a little maid entered the courtyard and said, "Mrs. Chu, there is a woman outside looking for you. She says she is your sister!"
