It was said to be waiting, and indeed it was waiting.

  Since receiving the memorial report of the southern expedition's deep entry into Annan territory, the imperial court has not received any more reports from Guangnan East Road and Jingchu Road regarding supplies for the large army.

  This also made it much easier for Chao Tang, and he just had to wait for the report.

  Although the days passed like years, Zhao Zhen had no other way.

  He wanted to send the Forbidden Army south again, which would be a response to his son. However, he also knew that this proposal would not pass in court.

  The Western Army cannot mobilize another ten thousand men, and he is also well aware of the Imperial Guards in the capital and Hebei.

  The real past is nothing but a waste of money and grain.

  Furthermore, in the Ciming Palace, neither the Cao family nor the Gao family had anyone as worried and anxious as him, it seemed like none of them were concerned about Xi'er at all.

  Xi'er has letters for them... The battlefield is full of unexpected events. Just like the Xiao family of Great Liao in those years... This cannot be thought, it's a blasphemy to the merits of our ancestors.

  Can you just let Xi'er venture into danger like that?

  Of course it's impossible to worry at all, but Cao and Gao know more about Zhao Xi than Zhao Zhen.

  From the words and lines of the letter, one can read Zhao Xi's ease and some worries about the country.

  The Guangnan Rebellion was witnessed by Zhao Xi himself, and he also knew well about the discipline of the Imperial Guard.

  Although the tone of the letter, Zhao Xi regards this attack on Annan as a lesson for disobedient children who do not listen to their parents. But also expressed concern about Annan and Dali's coveting of the country's borders.

  Therefore, venturing into danger is inevitable.

  They didn't think much of it, as the country was not yet at a point where they needed to worry. They were very concerned about what Zhao Xi said, that Guangnan would have a big gain in the future.

  Everyone says that Guangnan is a place of smoke and mist, a place of exile, but Zhao Xie says that Guangnan is not only about mountains and rivers, but also has products.

  They believe in Zhao Xi's words, everything Zhao Xi has said will come true.

  In comparison, her worries aren't that serious after all.

  Besides, things have already come to this pass with the officials; and if these two are also worried and on edge, it's likely that the officials will take some improper action.

  To avoid disturbing their minds, they even refused to let their relatives from their hometown visit the palace. Why? After all, their hometown was a military camp, and they were afraid that their relatives' words would shake their faith.

  In this way, I became immersed in Zhao Xi's relaxed tone and didn't worry so much anymore.

  Zhao Xi is indeed easy-going. In terms of getting along with people, Yu Jing and Sun Ben are better than him. Sometimes he doesn't want to control his emotions... You've already been beaten down, yet you still talk about the price?

  Ke Yu Jing and Sun Mo are not afraid of this. Isn't it just grinding teeth? Isn't it just arguing? Isn't it just nonsense? All these have been practiced on the imperial court long ago.

  The key is that everyone now understands Annan's urgency. Since the other party is anxious, we can't be anxious either. Let's take it slow, after all, there are supplies of grain and grass...

  ……

  Bianliang didn't have to wait much longer either, probably just over ten days or so.

  Zhao Zhen can't wait any longer. It's just that every day after work, in Ciming Palace, he can relax his mind.

  As long as in the imperial court, there are always people who blindly advocate for war with Annan. There are even people clamoring for the imperial court to quickly dispatch an envoy to Annan to negotiate a settlement...

  The husbands did not respond or refute, leaving Zhao Zhen alone with a headache and annoyance.

  It's okay, the report from the front finally arrived. It's a great victory!

  "The royal army attacked and broke through Annan Gao's fortress, beheading 5,000 and capturing over 10,000!"

  "The royal army attacked and broke through Annan Gao's fortress, beheading 5,000 and capturing over 10,000!"

  ……

  Shouting from the city gate, they rushed all the way to the palace.

  How long has it been? Perhaps the old people of Bianliang City still remember.

  Since Taizong's time, our dynasty has never breached another country's city walls again.

  How many years has it been? The people of Bianliang have heard the most about how many soldiers Wang's army lost and how much money and grain they paid.

  This time...

  In the time it took to regain their senses, the urgent messenger had already fled a mile away. Only then did people realize that this time it was the King's army that had breached the enemy's city walls, namely Annan, which had been inciting the barbarians to cause trouble.

  Then, even if he was usually a humble gentleman, at this moment he couldn't hold back his excitement and involuntarily joined in the shouting.

  Then the whole Bianliang City was in an uproar.

  "What's going on? Why so noisy?"

  It's strange that the last ones to know the news are those who should be informed first, especially when it comes to good news that needs to be shared with everyone.

  Zhao Zhen is still worried every day, but he knows it's no big deal. These days should be spent doing what needs to be done anyway.

  At this time, he was reviewing memorials in Yanfu Palace and was already quite annoyed. He then heard that outside the palace walls, it seemed like all the people in the city were rioting.

  "Your Majesty... Your Majesty...... It's a victory! It's a victory!"

  An imperial guard rushed in, panting and out of breath as if he had run a long distance.

  "What?"

  "Your Majesty, our army has defeated An Nam's Gao Bang, beheading 5,000 and capturing 10,000!"

  "Ah..."

  Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and for a while, he didn't react. Immediately after, he stood up, clenched one fist, and continuously slapped the other palm, pacing back and forth on the ground.

  He didn't know what to say or do, it seemed like no matter how he acted, he couldn't express that excitement.

  Back and forth pacing...

  "Government officials... government officials, the masters have arrived..."

  "Oh, great companion, I should set a feast... Yes, set a feast!"

  It was an inauspicious time, but Zhao Zhen thought it was necessary to set up a banquet.

  Just in time, the gentlemen have arrived, let's celebrate together.

  The gentlemen have come to celebrate and discuss what to do next, rather than just drinking and feasting.

  But in this case, everyone can understand the mood of the officials, and that's it.

  Alas...

  Since the chaos in Guangnan began, the imperial court had a thorough understanding of the entire terrain of Guangnan and knew that after passing through Guangyuan and Yongping Stockade, it was all flat land.

  Even if General Wang captures Gao's territory now, it would still be a remote and isolated region that the imperial court cannot possibly occupy... It is useless to waste money and grain!

  This is a consensus in the imperial court!

  Looking for an official is in order to get a decision out as soon as possible, and also provide advice to the front line...

  (If you don't take it as a basis, then forget about this opinion!)

  Yu Jing reported in detail the battle situation after inquiring from various sources, and made a report on the details of the Crown Prince and Di Qing leading tens of thousands of soldiers to fight in Annan.

  At this time, the official family's drinking and feasting was not entirely useless, at least everyone could discuss the tactics of the crown prince together.

  "This is Wan Yinshan's magnification!"

  "No. The Crown Prince's tactics in this battle are more about guessing people's minds than the bravery of soldiers."

  "The terrain of Annan is suitable, this is because the land is suitable."

  "If it weren't for this new invention of gunpowder, such a great victory would also be difficult to obtain!"

  ………

  Go ahead and say it, this is hindsight, anyone can talk sense afterwards.

  Only those who truly understand military affairs or have had contact with His Highness the Crown Prince can truly appreciate its essence.

  For example, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo.

  Wan Yinshan and Annan North are two concepts, to achieve such a victory, any one of the factors is indispensable, the key is that there must be the idea of Prince Taizi's Tianma Xingkong.
