Chapter 987

"I thank you for your uncle... the general is considerate..." Yue Lin bowed to Sun Bi with gratitude.

Sun Bi smiled: "I can ignore the previous incident, but next, if there is another war, I hope General Yue can lead Jizhou soldiers to make contributions to my Dayue. Don't let me down."

Yue Lin, who heard the profound meaning of his words, was hurried and nodded again, and then responded solemnly: "Don't worry, the general will have his own fate next time. The general will definitely not dare to slack off at all. What you point to is the Jizhou army!"

"Well, with you, I will feel much more at ease. It's not in vain that I have written your contributions on the good news. Although you don't make contributions on the front battlefield this time, if you Jizhou Army had not set up defenses in the east and the Guirong Army could not run away, we would not have achieved such a great victory." Sun Bi smiled and mentioned again, which made Yue Lin feel grateful.

Li Ling, who was clinking glasses with Xiao Chengzhi, was talking, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at the two of them meaningfully, and at the same time he felt a lot of emotion: "It seems that King Ying is indeed more extraordinary than what I thought before. This kind of kindness and power are enough to let Yue Lin, who might have thought of him, receive it from his subordinates."

In fact, a few days ago, Li Ling had already reported through spies to grasp the movements of the Jizhou Army.

Yue Lin did not obey the orders as Sun Bi just said, and honestly sent troops from Jizhou to block the east. In fact, when the Jinzhou army had already met the Guirong people head-on and a fierce war broke out, he led his army to set off from Jizhou, and the itinerary was also very unfast. It would be considered polite to say that delaying the relocation was delayed.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to lead his army from Jizhou, which is only a few hundred miles away, to Youzhou until this time. You should know that Gongwang Dong came from Jinzhou, which is more than a thousand miles away. The journey was twice that of Jizhou. It was obvious what this meant.

Obviously, Yue Lin was quite resistant to Sun Bi, the commander appointed by the court, and was even above Shen Chongshan. The latter had only a little resistance, but he blatantly disobeyed the situation and dared not to obey such an important military order. It was not until the war ended that he rushed to Youzhou in a hurry.

It can be said that if Sun Bi really wanted to take action against him, he would only take action with the great victory, which would be enough to completely deprive Yue Lin of his military power. Even if he was punished for his serious crime of not following the order, it would be easy.

But in this way, the Jizhou army would inevitably feel panic and resentful, laying the root of disaster for the next Northern Expedition. After all, Yue Lin had been in Jizhou for more than ten years, and most of the generals in the army were promoted by him. He was grateful to him and did not distinguish between them. If he wanted to take him down, there would be more people who offend him.

But now, not only did Sun Bi not care about his late arrival and delay, but also added a sum to him on the credit book. Once this matter was spread, even the soldiers from the other two places would be ashamed, and even the Jizhou army would feel respectful to Sun Bi. Then, if he issued another order, they would definitely follow it without any discount.

And he said in a vague way that he actually knew what the other party was thinking, which puts pressure on Yue Lin. He was just a first-time deal, and Sun Bi would not make any mistakes, but once he made the same mistake again and had the previous mistake, he would be severely punished and refused to lend money.

It's the product

After a few words were expressed in profound meaning, Yue Lin would appear more obedient and even show loyalty.

Seeing this, Li Ling couldn't help but feel respect for Sun Bi. He has indeed grown up quickly, with the demeanor and skills that a true superior should have, or in other words, with the kingly spirit!

It can be said that this great victory completely established Sun Bi's lofty reputation among the northern border troops. If there is another northern expedition and another great victory, he will become the first military officer in the Great Yue since Taizu Taizong. Once he really takes the morale of the army for himself, he will be not far from replacing the prince.

Of course, all of this must be approved by the court to make the Northern Expedition first, and it will take at least half a month before a conclusion will be reached.

...

When the meteor's fast horse galloped into the capital and the messenger immediately loudly promoted the news, the entire Luoyang City was infuriated.

People in the city, no matter the wealth, rich and poor, rushed out of their homes after hearing the great victory in the northern border and defeating tens of thousands of Guirong invaders, and inquire about the correctness of this statement. After confirming that the rumors were correct, countless people rushed to the streets to celebrate this great victory that had not been seen in decades.

When the news of this good news came into the inner city, the officials in the court could no longer sit still. They were all dressed neatly and headed towards the imperial city. They knew very well that when such a great victory came, His Majesty would definitely summon the ministers to celebrate with great success.

As everyone expected, although it was almost evening and the sun was setting, the palace was still open. Some imperial guards brought these officials into the palace and gathered all over the Golden Palace.

Then, not long ago, the emperor, who had not attended the court meeting recently because of the discomfort of the dragon body, rushed over with a smile on his face with the help of Wei Tang.

Afterwards, the emperor congratulated each other and said a lot of congratulations. The emperor immediately made a decision, asking the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites and other yamen to reward the soldiers who made meritorious service on the front line as soon as possible according to regulations, and directly issued an order to promote the King of England from the prince to the prince. In addition, it was a pension and pursuit of the soldiers in the northern border who died for their country and other sacrificed their lives.

Of course, these rewards and pensions cannot be implemented immediately. Officials must be sent to the northern border to conduct a careful inspection before finally making a decision.

While the ministers even praised the emperor's wiseness, they always had a word, that is, the victory of this battle means that the Dayue court will no longer have to worry about the military affairs in the northern border for at least the next ten years. Everyone feels relieved.

It can be said that today's court meeting is in sharp contrast to the successive court meetings after learning about the Guirong's invasion last year. The more frustrated and frightened he was at that time, he was so happy and even ecstatic today.

In addition to constantly praise the emperor's wisdom, everyone is also stingy to put many praises on King Ying Sun Bi - because it was under his command that he could win such a great victory in just a few months. However, there are many people here who have forgotten the criticism that he had not sent troops for a long time and that he had delayed the fighter's attack and raised the enemy's remains.

Until everyone said it almost, the emperor smiled: "The rewards that should be given will be done as soon as possible according to my wishes. We must not let the soldiers on the front line feel cold. In addition, there is another thing that I will find it difficult to make a decision for a while, and I hope to hear what you officials mean."

After a pause, he said in a solemn voice: "In addition to the good news, the King of England also submitted a request to take advantage of this great victory to lead the army to the northern expedition, go straight to the northern desert, and completely remove the Guirong tribes to solve the century-old problem of our Great Yue. I wonder if you think this matter can be approved?"

The emperor's words suddenly became silent as the emperor said. This sudden statement really caught everyone off guard.

However, soon, the British Kings led by Wen Ming, Wei Liang and others immediately reacted and expressed their position and supported the continued Northern Expedition: "Your Majesty, the report from the King of England is indeed the most wisest decision at the moment. Now that the Guirong was defeated, everyone will inevitably be in danger, and there will be a rift among the tribes, especially the thief chief Tielezhen. Even if he has not died, his reputation in the north of the Mo will plummet. At this time, he will be able to expand the results of the war at the lowest cost, so that my Dayue will be in danger for a hundred years from now on!"

"Your Majesty, I also think it's perfect to take advantage of the Northern Expedition at this time. Not only is the great loss of Gui Rong's strength, but also the morale of our border soldiers is rising because of the great victory. We should take advantage of the situation to advance north and pacify foreign enemies once and for all!"

"Your Majesty, the Ghost Rong has been in trouble for a hundred years. Even if it was Taizu and Taizong's dynasty, my Dayue Heavenly Soldier could kill them in pieces, and it would be difficult to have such a good situation today. We really cannot miss it..."

"His Majesty……"

For a time, more than a dozen ministers stood up and expressed their opinions, and they were getting heavier and heavier, as if they did not agree to send troops to the Northern Expedition today, which would become the greatest regret of the Dayue court, and the opponents would be the greatest sinner.

This statement made the words of the great victory again, and it was full of momentum, but the officials who originally wanted to speak out and didn't know whether they should speak.

The emperor also showed deep thoughts and said after a while: "My dear friends, what do you think? You can say it."

After a few more people expressed their support for the Northern Expedition, the Minister of Rites finally opposed it at the sight of the prince: "Your Majesty, although what you said is somewhat reasonable, I think it is inappropriate to send troops to the Northern Expedition. First, how much burden will the court bear and how much money will the granary warehouse be empty? Once there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, what should I do? Have you ever thought about these consequences?

"Two, even if we don't think about this kind of thing, can our Great Vietnam border army really win by just urging our army northward? You should know that although this great victory was a victory on the grassland, it was actually within the control of our Great Vietnam. Gui Rong came from afar and naturally fell at a disadvantage. But on the other hand, our Great Vietnamese army lost all the advantages of the territory. Is there any certainty to win?

"The third is the current situation of Guirong. After this great defeat, I dare to believe that there will be chaos within Guirong. The thief chief Tielezhen will inevitably lose all his heart, and Guirong will inevitably be divided again, making it difficult to become a climate. But once our army will take advantage of the victory to break into the grassland. In the face of such a strong enemy, it is difficult to guarantee that the Guirong tribes will not unite again in order to protect themselves. This has helped the other party a lot. Therefore, I think that the decision to attack the Northern Expedition is too hasty, and you must think twice before you act. I hope Your Majesty will understand clearly!"
