Chapter 665
Chapter 665
Xi Rong and Yue Lu recovered from their injuries, while Xiao Hanzheng took people to counter-siege the border town of Ge State.
Because of the timely arrival of the rescue, the casualties of the female soldiers led by Xi Rong were not serious, as were the soldiers led by Xiao Yuanshi before.
They were reintegrated by Xiao Hanzheng and guarded on the border to prevent the new marshal sent by Ge Guo from suddenly raiding the border.
Soon both Beicheng and Beijing received news of Daliang's successive victories.
The people on the northern side are the happiest. The army guards the border, which is equivalent to guarding everyone's safety.
Shi Qingluo flew down from the sky and flew into the city, and asked the old immortal to use a small black ball to clean up the enemy's army, which was even more amazing.
In addition to this, Xiao Hanzheng was temporarily in command, which saved the defeats of Daliang's side one after another, and reversed Ge Guoyi's army.
Now, instead of besieging Ge Guo's commander in the border town, it is very exciting.
The same is true here in the capital, and I was excited to hear the news.
The emperor was greatly relieved when he received news from the border one after another.
On this day, I received the news that Xiao Hanzheng led the army to besiege the border city.
It happened that the ministers in the court, King Yi and several princes were all discussing matters in the imperial study.
The emperor shared the news with them. .
Then he sighed, "I didn't expect that the first champion of my country is also a good leader of the army, and the border town of Ge country should be able to be won in a few days."
The emperor was obviously in a good mood.
The ministers were naturally happy when they heard the news.
This is much better than the ending they imagined, especially the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household, who were dying of sorrow before.
The Ministry of Accounts did not deliberately want to hold military expenses, but there is really not much money in the treasury right now.
It wasn't many years before Daliang was founded. Before that, he adopted the policy of light corvée and some tax exemptions, and the money collected was not as much as the previous dynasty.
Many places were hit by disasters before, and a lot of money was spent on disaster relief.
In addition, when the first emperor was in power, the capital and the imperial tombs were rebuilt, and the Ministry of Household really lived with his trousers and belts.
Fortunately, the canning workshop on the other side of the border opened, which relieved a lot.
The Liuli Workshop was the emperor's private treasury, so even if the household was jealous, he didn't dare to make up his mind.
Moreover, the money that Liuli earned was actually used by the emperor to build a large ship and a water army.
Ge Guo suddenly attacked. They have already tried their best to prepare military expenses, but the time of the war cannot be prolonged, otherwise the supply of food and grass will not be available.
The treasures from the previous dynasty sent by King Yi were taken out by the emperor earlier to build the cement road from the capital to the various prefectures.
Another part was used to buy food and sent to northern Xinjiang, which relieved some of the pressure on the Ministry of Households.
The money allocated by the Ministry of Households is limited, and the Ministry of War has no way of getting people to prepare more armaments and materials to send to the front line.
Now that Xiao Hanzheng has completely stabilized the situation of the battle, and instead turned a disadvantage into an advantage, the two ministers are the happiest.
The Minister of War said with a smile: "I didn't expect the champion to fight so well, he's really a general."
The Minister of the Household said: "It would be better if Master Xiao could end the war between the two countries as soon as possible, otherwise our food and grass can only be supported for three months at most."
Liang Yulin said confidently, "Don't worry, based on what I know about Han Zheng, the war should be over within two months."
He glanced at the two ministers, "Otherwise, we have to wait for your support. I don't know how many soldiers will die."
The two ministers said, "..." Without those who attack people like this, they also want to support them, but they also need to have money and materials!
The Minister of the Ministry of Housing was relatively smooth, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is indeed the credit of Lord Xiao."
He likes all officials who can help some of the household's worries.
And Xiao Hanzheng has no conflict of interest with him, he even has some ideas, and he doesn't mind saying something nice.
Liang Yulin looked proud, "Of course, that is the son of this king."
People present: "..." King Yi is really enough, is his surname Xiao?
However, as long as King Yi married Xiao Hanzheng's mother, Xiao Hanzheng was indeed his son.
With such an excellent pair of sons and daughters-in-law, they couldn't help but envy King Yi.
So they looked at King Yi with sourness.
Seeing this, Liang Yulin smiled even deeper, and said shyly, "Don't be jealous of this king, after all, this is something you can't envy."
The people present: "..." I didn't expect you to be such a King Yi, what about the banished immortal? Why is it so mundane now.
It's so awkward, it sucks!
Then Liang Yulin said to the emperor: "Brother Huang, if my son defeats Ge Guo this time, let him bring his family back to Beijing to receive the reward, and by the way, I will solve the important life-long affairs of the emperor."
Those present: "..." They felt that the second half of what King Yi said was the point.
The emperor also felt that the last sentence was the point.
He laughed and said, "What's the hurry? Mr. Kong won't run away again."
Liang Yulin touched his nose, "You're a full man, but you don't know if you're hungry!"
The emperor said angrily: "I don't know who used to run away when they mentioned getting married, but now I know they are in a hurry."
Liang Yulin said confidently: "It's not because I didn't meet the right person."
The emperor also knew that his own emperor was an old tree blooming, so he didn't bother about it.
He looked serious, "Are you sure that Xiao Hanzheng will be able to
Ge Guo Dajun fought back? "
Liang Yulin also became serious, "My brother thinks it's fine."
"Whether it's the appearance of my daughter-in-law's old fairy master, or my son's successive victories, the morale of our army is soaring."
"Let's not say that Ge Guo's morale has plummeted, and he can't choose a more powerful coach. This determines that failure is inevitable."
The emperor listened to his flamboyant words, and said in disbelief: "It's not your son and daughter-in-law."
Liang Yulin smiled and said, "It's not a matter of time."
The eldest son and daughter-in-law really give themselves a long face.
The emperor: "..." He felt that his younger brother looked too bad.
Others didn't think that King Yi actually had such a side. In the past, he used to look like he was about to become an immortal and didn't care about the world.
They couldn't help but wonder what the Kong family was like, to be able to pull King Yi down from the mortal world.
And I heard that Xiao Yuanshi had regretted it for a long time, and wanted to find the Kong family to get back together, but was rejected.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be too bad, otherwise, he won't be able to raise such an excellent son as Xiao Hanzheng.
Xi Xinheng said with a smile, "If it is as predicted by King Yi, then Master Xiao will have made a great contribution."
"Master Xiao's performance in Northern Xinjiang is very good. I feel that there is no need to temporarily replace him. He is qualified to directly serve as the prefect of Beicheng."
Although everyone knows that the temporary generation is basically set, but if it is not settled for one day, Xiao Hanzheng's grade will not be able to rise in one day.
Their family and the Xiao family have always been friends, and of course they have to help Xiao Hanzheng to determine the credit first.
When he said this, the Liang family and the Fei family also stood up and agreed.
The emperor is very optimistic about Xiao Hanzheng. According to the current situation, he is indeed his lucky general.
"When the war between the two countries is over, let's raise his rank."
I just hope that Xiao Hanzheng won't let him down in the future, then he will definitely not be able to treat the other party badly.
After he finished speaking, he smiled and took out a letter from the border.
"The veterans in the border have all written to ask me to keep Xiao Hanzheng in the northern border and continue to be the head coach, saying that he is a waste of talent if he doesn't fight, what do you think?"
