Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

"The northern border is just for defense, the King of Zhenbei doesn't need so many troops!"

"Yes! It's just a border defense. Why do we need so many soldiers? We even pulled out 30,000 troops from Yuzhou. The King of Zhenbei is wasting manpower."

"Pull out 50,000 troops from the northern border to support the southern border."

Inside the hall, the discussions among the ministers became louder and louder.

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing also felt that it was time to consider the overall situation and indeed mobilize 50,000 troops to deal with the rebels in southern Xinjiang.

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Eight hundred miles of urgent news, eight hundred miles of battle reports!"

Urgent news from eight hundred miles away, battle report from eight hundred miles away?

Inside the hall, all the civil and military officials were in an uproar. Where did the war report come from?

If there was a war, why didn't they have any information about it before?

The front-line Qilin Guards directly entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Qilin Guard who was delivering the intelligence knelt on one knee.

Emperor Dingwen sat on the high seat with his eyes fixed:

"Where did this battle report come from?!"

The soldier who delivered the intelligence knelt on one knee and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I am the Qilin Guard of the King of the North!"

"By order of the King of Zhenbei! The 800-mile battle report will be sent to the capital and handed over to Your Majesty."

The Qilin Guard held high the memorial.

The chief eunuch in front of the emperor, Shen Qian, walked down the steps and took the memorial from the Qilin Guard in his hand. He opened it and took a look.

Shen Qian's pupils shrank.

He looked at the memorial in his hand in disbelief.

He turned around and trotted a few steps:

"Your Majesty, it's a big deal, a big deal! It's a huge deal!"

All the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony looked at the old eunuch curiously. What kind of war report could make this old eunuch lose his composure at such an old age?

Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in the imperial court, had never been so shocked and out of control before.

This was the first time that Emperor Dingwen Hongjing saw the eunuch Shen Qian behave so misbehaving.

He knew in his heart that the contents of his son, the seventh prince Hongxuan, would be shocking.

But he still scolded her.

"Why are you so flustered? You have served me for decades, but you still can't keep calm. Show me what information has caused you to lose your composure like this?"

The chief eunuch Shen Qian handed the memorial to Emperor Dingwen Hongjing with trembling hands.

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing took a deep breath.

He took the memorial with a dignified look on his face. The moment he saw the memorial, Emperor Dingwen's pupils shrank and he stood up from the throne.

"Snapped!"

Emperor Dingwen slammed the memorial to the shore and pointed at the Qilin Guard who was kneeling on one knee.

"Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan, do you think I am old and demented?"

"Such a fantastic memorial was sent at an expedited rate of 800 miles. Do you think I will believe it?"

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing's face was distorted, and his previous calmness was gone.

"Qilin Guard! You are the personal guard of the King of Zhenbei. Do you know what the consequences of deceiving the king are?"

Qilin Guard knelt on one knee and responded respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I am a veteran soldier of the Imperial Guards. I was highly regarded by the King of Zhenbei and became his personal guard, the Qilin Guard."

"Every word of what the King of Zhenbei reported must be true. I guarantee it with my head. If even a single word in the report is false, I will be punished for deceiving the king."

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing was so excited that his blood boiled.

He took a long breath and then sat back on the Emperor's Dragon Throne.

"Shen Qian read out the memorial from the Northern Border Guard King Hongxuan without missing a word!"

"I obey your orders!"

“Your Majesty:

Your son, Hongxuan, the King of Zhenbei, respectfully presents this memorial to Your Majesty for your review.

I, your son, led 120,000 infantrymen and 300,000 cavalrymen from the Northern Shang Kingdom in a fierce battle near Baidi City outside the northern border.

Fortunately, thanks to the great fortune of my father and the bravery of the soldiers, our army fought bravely and finally won a great victory.

In this battle, the 120,000 infantry led by my son successfully annihilated the 180,000 cavalry of the Northern Shang Kingdom and captured Baidi City in one fell swoop.

The Northern Shang Emperor Ba Xin and the Imperial Preceptor Yun Yi fled in a panic.

The captured supplies were so abundant that it is difficult to count them all. What is even more exciting is that none of my infantrymen lost a single soldier.

This is the glory of our country, and also the manifestation of the benevolence of my father. I, your son, will continue to work hard and sacrifice my life for the safety and prosperity of our country.

Emperor Gongfu issued a sacred judgment!

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan

September 15, the 23rd year of Dafeng Dingwen. "

After hearing the memorial, all the princes and ministers were shocked and stunned.

Zhang Shoufu was the first to come out:

"Your Majesty, how can anyone believe such a memorial? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

"The King of Zhenbei led 120,000 infantrymen to fight against the 300,000 cavalrymen of the Northern Shang Kingdom. He didn't lose a single soldier, and killed 180,000 cavalrymen of the Northern Shang Kingdom. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this kind of battle report!"

Grand Tutor Pang Deru scolded:

"You are just a small soldier delivering this kind of information. Do you really think that all the officials in Manchao are fools?"

Minister of War Yang Shou stepped out:

"How dare you, a mere guard, deceive us with state affairs! You deserve to be executed for deceiving the emperor."

Prince Hongze smiled and said:

"Seventh brother, do you think that the court has forgotten him? That's why you made up such a bizarre story to attract the attention of the ministers and our father?"

"Seventh brother led 120,000 infantrymen to fight against 300,000 cavalrymen without losing a single soldier, and killed 180,000 cavalrymen. Even a storyteller wouldn't dare to say it so eloquently!"

Emperor Dingwen, sitting high on the dragon throne, could not believe that such a bizarre thing could happen.

He looked at the Qilin Guard and said:

"I ask you!"

“The King of Zhenbei led 120,000 cavalrymen to fight against the 300,000 cavalrymen of the Northern Shang Kingdom. Why did he abandon the Beijing City and leave the city instead of defending it?

Go to the Northern Shang cavalry to fight near Baidi City."

"I want to ask, where does Hongxuan get the courage to do this?"

"Why was Hongxuan able to kill 180,000 cavalrymen from the Northern Shang Kingdom without losing a single soldier?"

These were not mentioned in the memorial submitted by the Prince of Zhenbei, so no one believed it.

When Qilin Guard heard Emperor Dingwen's question, his expression did not change at all.

"Reporting to your majesty, everything the King of Zhenbei said is true. Now the King of Beishang, Ba Xin, has escaped, and the King of Zhenbei has now occupied Baidi City."

"The infantry led by the King of Zhenbei possesses incredible divine power. Only those who have seen this divine power know that I cannot describe it."

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei had already told this Qilin Guard before he set out, asking him to keep the secret and not to reveal the composite army crossbow arrows.

Anyway, the memorial has been delivered.

The mission of this Qilin Guard has also been completed.

"Your Majesty has doubts about the performer and can send a trusted guard commander to the northern border to check whether it is true."

After Emperor Dingwen Hongjing heard this, his majestic voice resounded throughout the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Jinyi Secret Guards!"

As soon as Emperor Dingwen finished speaking, a tall Jinyiwei walked in from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Your Majesty! What can I do for you?"

"Gather five hundred Jinyiwei and go to the northern border immediately to investigate whether the King of Zhenbei has really occupied Baidi City.

Did they really kill 180,000 Northern Shang cavalrymen without losing a single soldier?
