Chapter 161: Chu's Army Victory
Border military camp
Ever since Wu Yu killed General Ji Duo, who was revered as a military god by Wu Ji State two months ago, the new general of Wu Ji State was very afraid of the Chu family army.
Chu Feng believed that if Ji Duo was killed, no one else would be a threat.
He sent Chu Feng and Mu Qi to attack the two sides of Wu Ji's army from the east and west respectively, and he personally led a cavalry unit straight to the border city of Wu Ji.
At this time, the armies of Wu, Ji and others were besieged by Chu's army at the same time. Three days later, the king of Wu, Ji and others sent a letter of surrender.
Chu Feng rushed the cargo to the capital city over an expedited route of eight hundred miles.
capital city, royal palace
The towering palace sparkles in the sun.
Inside the Golden Palace, the emperor was sitting quietly on the dragon throne, reviewing a mountain of memorials. The sunlight shone through the delicate window lattices onto the emperor's face, reflecting his serious and determined expression.
At this time, the eunuch Li Zhun hurried in, holding a memorial in both hands, kneeling before the emperor, and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, General Chu sent an urgent memorial from the border eight hundred miles away."
He opened the memorial and read it carefully. General Chu described a thrilling battle in a sonorous and powerful way. He fought bravely and finally won a great victory. He killed the main general of Wuji Kingdom. The Wu army was defeated and the king of Wuji sent an envoy to deliver a letter of surrender.
The emperor was delighted, his eyes sparkling with excitement. This victory not only demonstrated the military might of the Great Zhou, but also won dignity and glory for the country. He was filled with lofty sentiments and ambitions, and his admiration for General Chu was beyond words.
To Li Zhun: "Go and ask the Imperial Master."
In just a moment, the imperial teacher appeared in front of the hall.
The Imperial Master walked slowly into the hall, wearing a dark purple robe, which swayed gently with his steps, as if carrying an invisible majesty. It was embroidered with delicate golden patterns, which shone with a faint light, highlighting his extraordinary status.
The face of the Imperial Master was shrouded in a layer of light silver light, which made his features a little blurry, but also added a bit of mysterious temperament. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through everything, flashing with wisdom. His nose was high and his lips were tightly closed, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
The emperor stepped forward and said: "Master, the Chu family army has won a great victory."
The Imperial Master seemed to have expected this. He did not show any excessive joy. He just bowed slightly and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Great Zhou has added another city."
A flash of joy suddenly flashed across the emperor's face: "Could it be that the Imperial Master had already calculated the outcome of this battle?"
The Imperial Master looked at the Emperor and said: "May the Great Zhou Dynasty prosper."
After the imperial teacher left, Li Jun immediately ordered the cabinet scholars, the left and right vice ministers of various ministries and agencies, the palace ministers, the ministers of the Honglu Temple, and the petitioners from various ministries and agencies to come to the emperor immediately.
After heated discussions, it was finally decided that Zhang Mubang, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, would lead a delegation to the border to receive the letter of surrender and discuss war reparations and cession of territory.
After receiving the order, Zhang Mubang did not dare to slack off. He represented the emperor's will and the majesty of the country, and led his troops to the border. He knew that his mission was important and related to the future of the country and the peace of the border.
On the border, Zhang Mubang negotiated with the envoys of the Wuji Kingdom.
He looked at the envoys from the defeated country, whose beards made him feel sick. As a country of etiquette, he thought he had given them enough respect.
"Compensation of 100 million taels and 3 cities," Envoy Wu Ji read out while gritting his teeth.
It's just too much of a lie.
