Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 2182

The battle that took place in the sea area twenty miles north of Zhangjiadao was between the [-] navy of the Fuyu Kingdom and the [-] Fusang army.

As a result, after a great battle, the [-] Fusang Navy was wiped out, and the Fuyu Kingdom suffered very little loss.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations.One must know that before the war started, even Qiubeard himself was not very optimistic about the outcome of the war.It's just that he was persecuted by Crown Prince Cao Bi, and the two powers chose the lesser harm, so he had to fight.

Now that the news of the victory came out, the whole country was filled with joy, and Zhangjiadao became a sea of ​​joy.

In the meeting hall of the royal palace, there was a large banquet, from the royal family down to the junior officials, regardless of the etiquette, they drank freely to celebrate the victory together.

When the wine was in full swing, the bearded man suddenly stood up, pressed his hands down, and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, and listen to what the lonely king has to say!"

When people gradually calmed down, he continued: "Today's battle can be won, who do you think is the number one hero?"

"Of course the lord of the country is strategizing and directing properly!"

"General Wang Bodang won the first battle, greatly boosting the morale of our army!"

"Qin Guogong intercepted the Fusang ship and made great contributions!"

……

……

People spoke one after another, at a loss for what to say.

When everyone had finished talking, the bearded man said: "There are quite a few people who have mentioned it, but only a small number of people are right. The Gu Wang thinks that the first victory in this battle must go to Duke Qin!"

He paused, then continued: "Then some people will be unconvinced, saying that Qin Guogong just stopped the defeated Fusang people. In terms of merit, it is a bit far-fetched, but is it too far-fetched to be counted as the number one hero?"

"You only know one thing, not the other. In fact, the key to this battle is neither the old man encircling the Fusang army with troops, nor Qin Guogong intercepting the defeated soldiers, but forcing the Baekje army to return. And this is entirely Qin Guogong's Credit!"

"If it weren't for Qin's public plan to abolish the Baekje army, even if the old man uses his soldiers like a god, he will be powerless in the face of the enemy's superior strength. At that time, I am afraid that the Fusang people will be sitting here celebrating their achievements! The lonely king and all of you have already been reduced to prisoners."

"So, everyone thinks it's wrong for me to rate Qin Guogong as the number one meritorious service in this battle?"

The bearded man has a very high prestige in Fuyu country, no one doubts whether what he said is true.Ever since, all civil and military officials expressed that Duke Qin deserved his first contribution in this battle.It is not too much to call him a great hero who contributed to the survival of Fuyu Kingdom.

When people had finished expressing their opinions, the bearded man nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Since everyone believes that Qin Guogong has made great achievements, how should we Fuyu Kingdom thank him? No matter money or official position, people They are all missing!"

"This……"

"Hey, you can't figure it out, can you? The old man has already figured it out! Qin Guogong, please stand up!"

Guo Ye got up according to his words, and said: "What is the order of the lord?"

"It's a good thing not to obey orders!"

The bearded man said loudly: "In order to thank you for your great contribution, this old man has decided to betroth my little girl Nuannuan to you, and we will marry you tonight! Your child is the Lord of Fuyu Kingdom. I wonder what Qin Guogong will do?"

Swish!

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were on Guo Ye.

Most people don't know the inside story and feel that there is no suspense about this matter.Didn't Duke Qin be engaged to the princess long ago?Now it's just a reiteration.

But the other few people who knew the inside story were not so calm.

To put it bluntly, the bearded man's move was a surprise attack.Previously, there was an engagement and a covenant, both of which were false.It was just a play performed in front of Crown Prince Kusakabe.In fact, Guo Yeke never agreed to this marriage.

Although for ordinary people, being able to marry a Bai Fumei like Yu Nuannuan is a dream, but if this matter falls on Guo Ye, it is not necessarily true.

Not to mention that he himself has a lot of beautiful wives and concubines, marrying a beautiful woman will cause instability in the family.Just the possible sequelae after marrying Yu Nuannuan is enough to make him shy away.

Guo Ye's good buddies, Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao, have been chasing after a beautiful woman for many years, and they have spent countless money and efforts.Now that he has seized love with a sword, how should he explain to his good buddies?

Of course, Guo Ye's status is quite different from before.Even if he doesn't explain, these two can't do anything to him.

But the problem is, there is His Majesty Li Er!

The relationship between Fuyu Kingdom and Datang is not very good.He has become the son-in-law of Fuyu, and his son will become the ruler of Fuyu, so will His Majesty Li Er doubt his loyalty to Datang?

Well, even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is extremely wise and wise, he will gently expose this matter.Then there are civil officials and censors.In the imperial court, there are still enemies of Guo Ye.

Are they willing to let it go?

All in all, as soon as the news got out, Guo Ye would definitely be ashamed.Is it worth paying such a big price for Yunuannuan?

Rao is the first hero of the bearded man, and at this moment he also put his heart in his throat, thinking to himself, what if Guo Xiaozi disagrees?For the sake of his daughter's name, should he be abolished here?

But someone has made such a great contribution to the Fuyu country, and he repays his kindness in a blink of an eye, isn't it a bit unreasonable?

Yu Nuannuan was also in a state of confusion, she thought to herself, Guo, if you are thinking about our past friendship, you are not allowed to mention half a word, or else, or... I will die for you!

Fortunately, their worries did not last long.

Guo Ye's complexion changed slightly at first, and then he bowed to the end, saying: "Those who hold their wishes, dare not ask, thank you father-in-law!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The bearded man was overjoyed, and said: "Then we've settled it! Come on, bring Qin Guogong to change clothes quickly. Brother Xu, you are in charge of entertaining the guests; Brother Li, you are the master of ceremonies for this wedding. Nuan Nuan, don't be there Stand still, hurry back to the boudoir and get ready."

Then, he said to the crowd: "Today, I Fuyu Kingdom has double happiness, and everyone will not return home until they are drunk!"

Everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the princess, and congratulations to Duke Qin!"

The audience erupted in jubilation!

At this moment, a small school suddenly ran in and said, "I would like to inform the lord that a fleet has come outside, claiming to be reinforcements from Silla, requesting to disembark."

"Why are they here now?" Xu Fengnian frowned, and said, "We're done fighting, why are they here?"

The bearded man waved his hand, and said: "You can't say that. Silla sent troops in a hurry, so it's good to be able to come now. Don't just think that we have won a big victory now. What if we lose, I'm afraid the Silla reinforcements , has become our only hope for a comeback."

"Hmph, I'm afraid that if we lose, this Silla reinforcements won't show up!"

"Hey, Brother Xu, you are really... Forget it, let's not talk about it, no matter what, Silla people are also guests from afar, everyone, follow me to welcome you!"

"According to the order!"

He ordered the little school to report the letter first, and the bearded guest led all the civil and military officials out of the city to meet him.

When they got to the pier, they saw that Silla's army had already landed.

The first person seemed to be in his thirties, plump and handsome, full of the charm of a mature man.

The bearded man hurried forward a few steps, and said: "The opposite is a distinguished guest from Xinluo? Xiaowang Zhang Zhongjian is late to welcome you, and I hope to make amends!"

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it! Jin Yuxin, under the order of our lord, is here to help your country. I didn't expect to hurry, but it was a step too late. Fortunately, God blessed Fuyu, and he didn't make a big mistake. Looking forward to the country Lord forgive me!"
