The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Hmm? The situation was completely different from what Concubine Zheng said, and everyone present was full of doubts.

But everyone heard it clearly - Chu Yu's legs were cured! This was indeed exciting news, and even the emperor was stunned for a moment, so no one noticed that the imperial concubine frowned.

Yao An, who was reading the battle report, was the first to discover that the situation was completely different from what Concubine Zheng had said. His forehead began to be covered with sweat, but he had no choice but to continue reading.

"The second time Chu Yu led an army of 150,000 to fight against the Northern Zhou army of 200,000, he suffered 2,000 casualties while the enemy suffered 50,000 casualties. The commander Zhou Hanchi fled north in panic.

"The fourth prince Chu Ren led 5,000 men across the northern desert and arrived at the enemy's rear camp. He robbed the enemy's food and caused 20,000 casualties. He returned to the camp with 3,000 soldiers intact.

"King Cheng... His Royal Highness King Cheng..."

Yao An's hands were shaking as he held the battle report, and the color on his face gradually faded.

The imperial concubine was still eagerly waiting for him to tell her about Dongfang Shuo's battle achievements.

The fourth son of Chu, who was weak and powerless, could lead his soldiers across the desert, burn and kill the enemy's rear camp, and plunder food. Then her son must be even more powerful.

The emperor had basically the same idea as the imperial concubine, and was also waiting for Yao An to read out their son's glorious military achievements.

Yao An took a deep breath and said, "King Cheng Dongfang Shuo led 50,000 soldiers to take the northeast route, but was led into an ambush by 3,000 enemy soldiers - the Ziyun Grand Canyon. Later, he was besieged by Zhou Hanchi, who was defeated at the Chu Brigade, with an army of 150,000, resulting in the annihilation of his entire army."

completely annihilated!

The Fourth Prince of Chu led only 5,000 soldiers, but he was able to inflict 20,000 casualties on the enemy. However, His Royal Highness King Cheng led 50,000 soldiers, but was unable to deal with 3,000 enemies and was ambushed, resulting in the annihilation of his entire army.

The imperial concubine's eyes went dark and she dug her nails into Nuoqing's palm, making it bleed.

The imperial concubine exhausted all her strength to ask: "How is my son now? Is he still alive?"

Although the content of the battle report was brief, Yao An felt that every word and sentence was stained with blood.

He said: "The two thousand men around His Royal Highness King Cheng swore to protect his safety until General Chu Yi led his troops to reinforce him, and His Royal Highness King Cheng was saved.

"General Chuyi led his soldiers to the Ziyun Grand Canyon, where they defeated Zhou Hanchi again, causing him to lose another 50,000 soldiers. Zhou Hanchi had no choice but to flee north in panic. On the way, Shu Xiao, a soldier under General Chuyi, stepped forward and captured Zhou Hanchi alive.

"Zhou Hanchi will be sent to Shengjing City soon. Your Majesty, please make the decision." After reading it in one breath, Yao An breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that this war report would please the Imperial Concubine, but after reading it out, Yao An realized that the content of this war report made him completely offend Imperial Concubine Zheng.

Everyone wins.

The powerless Fourth Master Chu won;

Shu Xiao, a little-known soldier under Chu Yi, captured the second prince of Northern Zhou alive;

As the main general, Chu Yu led his cavalry and defeated the Northern Zhou army, forcing them to flee northwards...

Only the distinguished His Royal Highness King Cheng, Dongfang Shuo, had his entire army wiped out.

This can no longer be said to be that His Royal Highness King Cheng is mediocre in ability. It can be said that His Royal Highness King Cheng is terrible in ability, or even has no ability at all. He single-handedly destroyed the lives of 50,000 Daqi soldiers!

The contrast is truly tragic.

He had nothing to do with military merit and still had to accept punishment.

"Your Majesty, Shuo'er has won battles before. He is not such an incompetent person." The imperial concubine ignored the pain in her arms, got off the couch, and knelt in front of the emperor.

“It must be that the Zhenbei Marquis’s Mansion was not happy with Shuo’er and Chu Heyi’s breaking off the engagement, so they set an ambush for Shuo’er on the battlefield in the northern border, causing our prince to return home in defeat.

"How else can we explain why all of them won, even the fourth son who loved reading and was weak as a chicken, but only our prince was completely wiped out?

"They must be using conspiracy and trickery to avenge our prince's breaking off the engagement! The people in Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion are really vicious. Our prince has already compensated them with ten thousand taels of silver and a mountain. Why are they still not satisfied? In such a major event for the family and the country, they let my son lose the lives of 50,000 soldiers!

"They are so reckless in taking human lives just to avenge the broken engagement. They really deserve to die."

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.

The emperor sat motionless on the chair. After listening to the imperial concubine's words, there was not much expression on his face. His silence made him look extremely majestic.

The imperial concubine's face was full of tears as she looked at him eagerly.

After a while, the emperor pinched her chin and said indifferently: "My concubine, you don't know that there are special soldiers on the battlefield called the Supervisory Team. They are responsible for recording the situation on the battlefield.

"Things on the battlefield change rapidly. The people in Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion were busy killing the enemy and had no time to take care of themselves. How could they have the time and energy to plot and scheme, causing King Cheng to fall into the Purple Cloud Canyon and the annihilation of 50,000 soldiers?"

He added: “Your Highness has never been to the battlefield, so you may not know the contents of this short battle report.

“For example, the fourth Master Chu crossed the desert. There was no food or drink in the desert, and they were lucky to be able to walk out of it. They were gambling with their flesh and blood. In the end, they not only conquered the desert, but also burned and killed 20,000 people in the enemy’s rear camp. This was a miracle.

"And the little-known Shu Xiao had the guts to capture Zhou Hanchi alive while he was on the run. This required great courage and strategy, and was also a miracle.

"Otherwise, tell me, why has the Northern Zhou Dynasty been so difficult to destroy for so many years? Is it because we in the Great Qi Dynasty don't want to?"

Although the emperor favors his son, victory is the most important thing to him.

But at the beginning he was misled by the words of the imperial concubine and thought that the key to victory in this battle in the north lay in Dongfang Shuo.

After listening to all the content, he realized that the key point was not Dongfang Shuo, but Chu Yu's legs standing up again, and the stirrups that others did not know about.

The stirrups were originally sent to the palace by Chu Heyi and shown to him. Only after getting his permission did they start making them in large quantities.

This matter was carried out in secret, without the knowledge of outsiders, just to catch the Northern Zhou Dynasty off guard.

The Chu family did it, and indeed caught the Northern Zhou Dynasty off guard.

The war situation between Daqi and Northern Zhou was indeed turned around by the Chu family and had nothing to do with their prince Dongfang Shuo.

In such a battle, their son Dongfang Shuo was the only one who was defeated, and his entire army was annihilated...

His third son is indeed useless.

"Your Majesty..." The imperial concubine called him, wanting to say a lot but having nothing to say.

"Pass on my decree. From today on, Concubine Zheng will be demoted to a concubine. She will be fined for half a year and will not be allowed to leave Yiyang Palace except for kneeling for half an hour at Quefei Gate every day."

"Why? Why does the emperor want to punish me? It was not me who caused Shuo'er to lose the battle."

The emperor looked down at her and said, "Although you did not cause Prince Cheng to lose the battle, you intended to abuse the whole family of the Zhenbei Marquis. I heard what you said when I was at the gate of your palace."
