Chapter 768 Results
The second prince of Donghu led the remnants of less than ten thousand people to retreat in a hurry. On the way, he encountered Qin Lang's ambush beforehand, and most of them were damaged. Although the second prince of Donghu was not killed, he was also injured by an arrow, and led several hundred cavalry to flee in a panic.
If he had not brought nearly all the soldiers back to Wushui City, the second prince of Donghu and his cavalry would not even want to leave.
Even so, it was a big win.
But neither Zheng Guanqing nor Qin Lang could be happy with this victory.
The old man who was rescued by Qin Lang from attacking the Qingdi King City before was actually one of the fine works that the imperial court scattered in the border gates and grasslands more than 30 years ago.
The emperor at that time was ambitious and wanted to annihilate the Hu and Di people in one fell swoop.
But the reality gave him a great blow. In a big battle, Daqing was defeated. It also completely shattered the emperor's ambition.
Since then, Daqing has taken defensive measures against the tribes outside the customs and tried their best to make good friends, and the fine work that was sent out has also lost its effect.
Worse yet, the emperor had forgotten about them. Without the emperor's edict, they could not leave the grasslands, and could only be buried here for the rest of their lives, living and dying silently, and no one even knew their identities.
Later, Zheng Guanqing's father led troops to the northwest. It was not that they tried to contact him, but they failed.
When Zheng Guanqing took over from his father's station, the few old guys who were still alive saw that he had a tough attitude towards the Hu people, and once divided the Hu people into Donghu and Xihu. Before the Hu people, their hearts rekindled hope.
But they didn't dare to act rashly. There must be a sure way to make sure that Zheng Guanqing would believe them before they dared to appear in front of him.
However, before they could act, there was news that the imperial court was going to make a covenant with Donghu.
Their plan could only be aborted.
No one can defy the will of the imperial court, and neither can Zheng Guanqing.
Under this premise, nothing needs to be said.
Perhaps, they really can only enter the coffin silently with the various materials that they have worked so hard to collect over the past 30 years!
Even if they know that the Donghu people have ghosts, so what? No one will believe them!
It was not until Qin Lang led a raid on the Qingdi King City, killing the Qingdi people to the point of almost breaking their roots, and then they cheered up again.
There are still people willing to fight in Daqing.
From this incident, they also got a glimpse of the hidden thoughts in the emperor's heart.
The emperor did not want to fight Donghu Qingdi, but he was afraid of the endless troubles after defeat, so he might as well not fight.
If Qin Lang was like Qin Lang and killed the opponent as soon as he made a move, the emperor would not refuse to sell it.
The long-cooled blood in their hearts was rekindled by this battle. They were unwilling to die in such a silent and silent manner. They simply died as a living horse doctor.
In the days when he lived in the Qin family, he carefully observed everyone in the Qin family, and became more and more determined in his heart.
He believed he was not wrong this time.
If they can really annihilate Donghu in one fell swoop and let the emperor remember them again, maybe they can return to Daqing and the Central Plains to spend their old age in peace.
Even though they have lived in this place for more than 30 years and have already fully integrated into it, deep down in their hearts, they still miss their hometown and look forward to the day when they can return to their roots.
At that time, they discovered the crisis of Donghu, and they were even more shocked. According to the plan, before the showdown with Qin Lang, they had to bite the bullet.
This is a big crisis and a big opportunity.
If Donghu was really pushed to a desperate situation by the natural disaster, and Daqing was unprepared, then the result would be catastrophic. They are all compatriots, how can they bear it?
Qin Lang was shocked when he saw the rusty piece of iron that represented their identities, and this was the result of a series of dialogues and arrangements with Zheng Guanqing.
In the beginning, everything was well arranged, we dug a big hole and waited for the Donghu people to jump, and by the way, they brought their old nest.
But who would have thought that Vice-Chancellor Jiang would betray the country and cause chaos in everything that should have been smooth.
After the battle, the people of Wushui City suffered countless casualties and a tragic mess. The cries that could be heard everywhere in the city and the bloodstains that could be seen everywhere made everyone’s heart very heavy.
After Vice Admiral Jiang was exposed, he had committed suicide in fear of the crime, and Zheng Guanqing was so angry that he almost dragged him out and whipped his body.
This battle shocked the court and the opposition, the emperor was furious, and ordered a reprimand, and Zheng Guanqing submitted a petition for guilt, expressing his compliance with the Holy Judgment.
In any case, it was his negligence that caused all this.
Prince Wu's Mansion and Prince Ning's Mansion took advantage of the opportunity to stir up troubles, trying to put the main responsibility for this matter on Qin Lang's head. Prince Qian was so angry that he didn't mean to stand up for Qin Lang at all. Meaning: It's his ability to survive, but if he can't, it's also his life.
This operation shocked and admired Wu Wangfu and Ning Wangfu.
As a result, they would not be able to fall into the trap again, otherwise they would be too ugly.
Zheng Guanqing, as the main general, should shoulder the main responsibility, Qin Lang and several other generals, even if they feel injustice for him, it is irrefutable.
Besides, with Qin Lang's current position, unless there is something in the court to ask them to file a complaint, he won't even have a chance to make a case.
We can only wait for news from the DPRK and China, and we can't do anything for the time being.
Fortunately, the emperor is not old and confused. Zheng Guanqing's final punishment is that the merits and demerits are equal. He ordered the Wushui East and West Barracks to be handed over to the general Duan Fu Yili, who is responsible for protecting the country, and ordered him to return to Beijing in the spring, when Qin Lang and his wife set off with him. .
The other generals were rewarded and punished according to their merits and demerits in this war, but Qin Lang still had nothing, saying that he would talk about it after returning to Beijing.
This is already a good result, and everyone is relieved.
Qin Lang doesn't care, even if the royal family said that he was mistaken, in fact he is not the son of King Qian, he would have no problem.
Zheng Guanqing knew better what the emperor meant in his heart. The father and son had been in Wushui City for so many years, and their roots had grown deep. The emperor was afraid that he had long been afraid, but he never had the opportunity to do anything. Moreover, Wushuicheng is also inseparable from its own defense. He could only continue to tolerate it.
But now Qingdi has been destroyed, Donghu was first destroyed by natural disasters, and then almost all of the 80,000 elites were wiped out. The most powerful and resourceful crown prince in martial arts also died. Although Daqing did not break into Donghu's lair, Donghu's The foundation has also been severely damaged.
