"Bastard! This king is going to die from anger! "
In the hall, next to the coiling dragon pillar, King Qi clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, his face ashen and unsightly.
He wanted to ignore the smug looks on the faces of the Wang Clan and Wang Gen, but on this occasion, the victory in the southwest, the entire country was celebrating. As an Imperial Prince of the Tang dynasty, a member of the royal family, he had to attend.
On the other side, Tongluo Great General Abusi also had a nasty complexion. He had not forgotten Wang Chong's accusations against him in the Regional Commanders incident. Moreover, his only son, Abutong, had been hung on a flagpole in the Kunwu Training Camp by Wang Chong, humiliated and humiliated.
But if even an Imperial Prince of the Tang dynasty like King Qi could not say anything, much less him.
"Damn it! I'll let you be smug for a while. I'd like to see how long you can stay smug for. "
In the hall, the officials who had always been King Qi's subordinates and were at odds with the Wang Clan and The King of Song all had nasty expressions on their faces.
But no matter how unconvinced they were, they had no choice but to shut their mouths and not utter a single word.
Clang!
The crisp sound of a bell in Taiji Hall attracted everyone's attention.
"All subjects, hear the decree!"
The Holy Emperor's lofty and dignified voice came from behind the high bead curtains.
"Have Wang Chong return to the capital as soon as The King of Song arrives in the southwest. There can be no delay!"
"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
In an instant, all the officials, nobles, generals, and ministers kneeled on the ground. The hall fell silent.
"Boom!"
With the Holy Emperor's order, the news quickly spread throughout the world. Even the slowest person knew that Wang Chong had made a great contribution to the victory in the southwest. If the Holy Emperor summoned him back to the capital, he would surely be heavily rewarded.
From this moment onwards, the Wang Clan would become indescribably noble!
After the Wang Clan Old Master, the Wang Clan had finally produced another pillar of the empire whose name could shake the world.
"Elder Brother, we bet on the right one!"
After the court meeting, no one knew that in the depths of the Imperial Palace, in the Yuzhen Palace, Consort Tai Zhen was sitting on a bed. She slowly put down a piece of silk with the Song of Purity and Peace written on it and let out a long sigh. Her expression was extremely relaxed.
She already knew about the Holy Emperor's arrangements for Wang Chong as soon as the court meeting ended.
"That's right, hahaha. Who would have thought that I, Yang Zhao, would have such an amazing sworn brother? Even famous generals like Dalun Ruozan and Gelofeng were defeated by him. Sister, with such a sworn brother, our position in the palace will be as stable as Mount Tai! "
Yang Zhao looked at Consort Tai Zhen in front of him with his hands behind his back and a smug expression on his face.
But the effects of the victory in the southwest were not limited to the capital. While the entire capital was in an uproar, countless carrier pigeons flew like rain to the borders of the Tang Dynasty.
At the western border of the Tang dynasty, at the border of Longxi.
"What? The southwest border was won? Dalun Ruozan and Gelofeng were defeated? "
In the westernmost part of Longxi, in Big Dipper City, the tall and handsome Big Dipper Great General of the Tang Dynasty stood like a spear on the city walls. Across from him was an endless army of Ouzan cavalry.
The usually calm and composed Geshu Han, who would remain unperturbed even if Mount Tai were to collapse, also revealed a shocked expression upon hearing the news from the southwest.
If he remembered correctly, Dalun Ruozan and Gelofeng were ambitious and ruthless characters of the southwest who stood on equal footing with the Annan Protector-General and current Minister of War, Zhangchou Jianqiong. Geshu Han had never fought with Gelofeng or Dalun Ruozan, and he had never even seen them in person.
But Dalun Ruozan had seen Zhangchou Jianqiong before. Even if the Tiger of the Empire of the southwest truly did have some outstanding qualities, Dalun Ruozan was still a formidable opponent.
One could easily imagine the abilities of Dalun Ruozan and Geluofeng to keep someone like Zhangchou Jianqiong in the southwest, forcing him to find a way to enter the Imperial Court and become Minister of War.
But the southwest had been won!
Without Zhangchou Jianqiong or any other Imperial Great General, relying only on Wang Yan and Xianyu Zhongtong, they had managed to defeat the five hundred thousand soldiers of the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang alliance.
Not even Geshu Han dared to imagine such a thing.
"Is this brat really that capable? Is the news confirmed? Are there no other reinforcements? "
Geshu Han's eyes widened as he held the letter.
He had been holding this letter for some time now, but even now, Geshu Han found it hard to believe. That brat who had jumped up and down during the Regional Commanders incident and recklessly criticized him and the other protector-generals actually had this sort of ability?
This was far too astonishing!
"Great General, this matter is absolutely true, and it's not just us. Right now, similar news is being sent to the other protector-generals and Great Generals on the border. On a mountain in the southwest, the youngest son of the Wang Clan, Wang Chong, used an army of one hundred thousand to fight against the five hundred thousand soldiers of Dalun Ruozan, Huoshu Huizang, Gelofeng, and Duan Gequan. In the end, he completely routed them, killing more than four hundred thousand soldiers. This is already a fact that is set in stone.
"Dalun Ruozan has already retreated to the territory of the Ngari Royal Lineage on the Ouzan Plateau, and Gelofeng seems to have been heavily injured. She's currently by the Erhai, her fate unknown."
Nearby, a spy general of the Big Dipper Army was bowing, his head hanging low.
"Buzz!"
Geshu Han said nothing, but his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Even he couldn't help but be moved by this accomplishment.
Whether it was Dalun Ruozan, Huoshu Huizang, or Duan Gequan, they were all famed generals of the present age. Without We Tadra Khonglo and Dusong Mangpoje holding them back, even if he led the Big Dipper Army south, he would have no problem stopping them. But to completely rouse them … not even Geshu Han had the confidence to do so.
Those who could reach the level of 'Great General' were not too far apart in strength, and the majority of them had their own unique skills. They were not so easy to defeat!
"Every generation has its own geniuses. I didn't think that our Tang Dynasty would also have such a peerless general. Geshu Han, this is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty! "
There were light footsteps as a familiar figure exuding a dignified and tyrannical aura slowly walked out.
"Milord!"
Geshu Han hurriedly lowered his head at the sight of the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian, the War God of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhongsi. Although he was already the commander of the Big Dipper Army in Longxi, the Big Dipper Great General of the Tang Dynasty, Geshu Han would always treat Wang Zhongsi as a subordinate.
"Milord!"
Behind him, the others also hurriedly bowed.
"Mm!"
Wang Zhongsi waved his hand. The consecutive days of intense battles caused a trace of exhaustion to faintly appear on his face. However, his eyes were still sharp and peerlessly fierce. Anyone who stood in front of these eyes would faintly feel a sense of reverence and submission.
In truth, there were very few people in the world who dared to stand in front of Wang Zhongsi and fight with him.
If Ouzan had not sent We Tadra Khonglo, the King of Generals who had fought with Wang Zhongsi before, he probably would not have been able to hold on.
"Geshu, perhaps you still don't know. That child is in the Ghost Tree District in the western part of the city, and he defeated the old War God So Jung-son in a game of chess! "
Wang Zhongsi said.
"What?!!"
Hearing the name 'So Jung-son', Geshu Han's entire body trembled in shock, and he raised his head.
The legendary War God So Jung-son of Emperor Taizong's era? The one whose status in the Tang Dynasty far surpassed that of his own superior, Wang Zhongsi?
Wasn't he supposed to be dead?
That boy from the Wang Clan had actually defeated him in a game of chess?
How was this possible?
Geshu Han's shock was no trifling matter!
In the entire Tang dynasty, it was publicly acknowledged that the strongest was not the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian, Wang Zhongsi, but the legendary War God So Jung-son. Everything about him was shrouded in mystery and legends.
Even Geshu Han, the Big Dipper Great General, would feel awe and veneration at the mention of that old War God.
Of all the generals of the Tang dynasty, not a single one of them had the right to stand before that old senior. Not even his own superior, Wang Zhongsi!
From this, one could see his status.
But Wang Zhongsi actually said that Wang Chong had defeated him in a game of chess?
It wasn't that Geshu Han didn't believe it, but this matter was far too absurd.
The art of war was the art of chess. Any general with even the slightest bit of skill in the art of war would know this. Didn't this mean that the boy was even more formidable than So Jung-son?
How was this possible?
Geshu Han didn't believe it.
"I'm not sure about the specifics either. This matter has only been circulating within a small circle, but Old Senior Su didn't die. Moreover, that person from the Wang Clan defeated him in the Ghost Tree District. This is something that I'm certain of. "
"I also obtained similar information in the palace."
Wang Zhongsi said.
Geshu Han fell silent. He could choose not to believe the words of others, but he had no choice but to believe Wang Zhongsi's words.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, the heavens shook and a massive rumble attracted everyone's attention.
"They're retreating! Ouzan's soldiers are retreating! "
Someone on top of the city gate tower yelled.
Geshu Han and Wang Zhongsi turned their heads and saw that across from Big Dipper City, on the high Ouzan Plateau, a plume of dust was suddenly rising into the air. Amidst this cloud of dust were the dazzling banners of the white lion.
Countless Ouzan cavalry carrying these banners suddenly began to retreat to the extreme west.
"Waaa! Whoa! "
The Big Dipper soldiers on the walls couldn't help but cheer. After fighting for so long and facing so many fierce attacks every day, In the end, We Tadra Khonglo and Dusong Mangpoje had finally retreated with their Ouzan cavalry.
Geshu Han and Wang Zhongsi looked at each other in dismay.
We Tadra Khonglo and Dusong Mangpoje had retreated. This time, even without the letter from the Imperial Court, Geshu Han and Wang Zhongsi could be sure that victory had truly been won in the southwest.
Without the strategic goal that they had relied on, the war in Longxi had become meaningless.
The Tang Dynasty had won!
… …
"Bastard!"
A furious roar shook the entire Qixi Protectorate headquarters.
"How could a seventeen-year-old brat be so formidable? Investigate again! Investigate again! Investigate again for me! "
Unlike the other generals, when the news of Wang Chong's victory over Dalun Ruozan and Gelofeng arrived, Qixi Protector-General Fomonlința felt like his lungs were about to explode. Qixi's position was special. It had always been connected to Qinghai and Gansu, between the Eastern and Western Turks and the Ouzan. It was a crucial route between the interior of the Tang Dynasty and the towns of Annan.
Thus, no matter what kind of war it was, Fomonlința would not easily leave.
