Although they felt that the general was a bit overqualified, the imperial guards resolutely carried out the task.
then,
Under the astonished gaze of Zhang Yan and others, the cannons began to roar.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
After ringing for half an hour, the artillery finally stopped.
And this time,
But wherever the eyes can see, there is no living creature that can stand up.
"Gu, Gu Dong..." Zhang Yan swallowed with difficulty.
He panicked!
Are this, these people really his army of big men?
Why has he never seen it?
for so many years,
Not to mention that he knows the Han army well, but he should have heard of such an awesome army!
unfortunately,
Qin Ren didn't give him much time to think.
After signaling his subordinates to aim the artillery at the city wall, he led a part of the imperial army and went straight to the city gate.
"Qin Ren, Lieutenant of the Forbidden Army of the Great Han Dynasty, please tell the history of the Western Regions!"
"Hoo~!"
Zhang Yan, whose thoughts were interrupted, couldn't help but took a deep breath.
Taking a step forward, he cupped his hands at Qin Ren not far away and said:
"Shi Zhangyan, Chief of the Western Regions, thank Captain Qin for saving his life!"
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say!"
With a smile on his face, Qin Ren waved without hesitation:
"Take it!"
"???"
Although he was prepared in his heart, the forbidden army's actions were too fast.
Before Zhang Yan could react, he was tied up, even the guards around him.
"Qin, Captain Qin, you, what are you doing?"
"Sorry~!"
After bowing apologetically to Zhang Yan, Qin Ren looked at the guarded soldiers in the city, and took out an imperial edict from his arms.
"According to His Majesty's order, I, Qin Ren, will take over the Western Regions immediately. Do you want to resist the order?"
"This this……"
Looking at the golden imperial decree in Qin Ren's hand, the soldiers couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
Against the decree?
That is a felony to punish the Nine Clans!
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to take the emperor's will seriously!
but……
"Qin, Captain Qin, I don't know what crimes my parents have committed?"
One of Zhang Yan's personal guards was somewhat dissatisfied and said:
"Under the circumstances that the imperial court did not have a grain of rations to distribute, it was Lord Changshi who led us to survive, why should His Majesty withdraw him?"
"Why?"
Hearing Qin Wei's angry words, a smile appeared on Qin Ren's face.
"Little brother, just because Mr. Zhang's long history was conferred by Emperor Ling, is this enough reason?"
"???"
The guards, including Zhang Yan, couldn't help but peek at each other.
What do you mean?
Obviously I can understand every word, but why can't I understand it when put together!
What is the period of Emperor Ling?
Wait,
and many more!
Thinking of some kind of possible Zhang Yan, his eyes shrank involuntarily.
"Qin, Colonel Qin, dare to ask, dare to ask what is the current reign name?"
"Ha ha……"
Seeing that Zhang Yan understood what he meant, Qin Ren nodded with a smile and said:
"When His Majesty ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, the reign name was changed to Kaiyuan!"
"Hi~!"
After confirming what Zhang Yan was thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but gasped.
Enthroned at the beginning of the year?
Kaiyuan?
Dahan has changed!
But, but, why didn't he know until now?
"Ahem~!"
As if he had guessed what Zhang Yan was thinking, Qin Ren coughed twice, and explained with a little embarrassment:
"My lord Zhang, to be honest, because the people below have neglected their duties, His Majesty didn't notice for a while and ignored the situation in the Western Regions!"
"It wasn't until your request for help was sent to Luoyang that His Majesty didn't wait until you were attacked!"
"For this reason, His Majesty specially ordered us to set off overnight."
"Even at the expense of using a secret weapon, I came here within three days. I hope you can understand His Majesty's difficulties!"
"..."
As Qin Ren's voice fell, Zhang Yan fell into a daze again.
One is because they were indeed forgotten by the imperial court!
The second is because...
"Three days?"
Zhang Yan suddenly looked up at Qin Ren, and said in disbelief:
"Lieutenant Qin, you mean, you rushed here from Luoyang in three days?"
"To be precise, it's three days and three nights!"
"This...how is this possible!"
Although Qin Ren doubled the time, Zhang Yan still found it hard to accept.
How far is it from the Western Regions to Luoyang?
According to ancient measurements, there are more than 6000 miles of land.
It only took three days and three nights?
How good is it to travel thousands of miles a day?
"Then what..."
Seeing that Zhang Yan was still struggling with the time issue, Qin Ren couldn't help but change the subject and said:
"Master Zhang, don't worry, His Majesty will have another appointment regarding your question!"
"As for why you were dismissed..."
Speaking of this, Qin Ren looked around, and said in a gradually cold tone:
"Some small countries in the area dare to use force against my big man. They simply don't take my big man into their eyes!"
"Your Majesty has issued a death order. This time, the entire Western Region must be wiped out in one fell swoop, so..."
"I see!"
After listening to Qin Ren's explanation, Zhang Yan felt a lot better.
Your family knows your own business!
As a civil servant, he might still be barely able to defend the city.
Can fight?
Don't make trouble!
Even if he is willing to go up and command, others may not necessarily listen to him!
not to mention,
This time it is the army under the new emperor!
The long history left by his predecessor is indeed not suitable for continuing to work.
With this in mind,
Zhang Yan cupped his hands at Qin Ren, and said in a complicated tone:
"Chief Qin, no, Qin Changshi, when can I go back?"
"anytime!"
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Qin Ren signaled his subordinates to untie Zhang Yan, and explained with a smile:
"Your Majesty has not punished you, and is even waiting for you to return to Beijing to report on your duties, so you can leave at any time!"
"but……"
"Master Zhang, I suggest you wait for our army to arrive, and go back with the logistics team!"
"In this vast desert, who knows what dangers there will be?"
"..."
Although Qin Ren's words were indeed sincere, Zhang Yan always felt that something was wrong.
Back to Beijing to report on work?
He is an official who was appointed by the former policy and was dismissed by the current one. Who should he report to?
Chapter 831 The Imperial Examination Released, Qin Feng Was Surprised!
Sometimes time is fast, but sometimes it is very slow.
When the countries in the Western Regions were about to move, and the Liangzhou army marched eastward, good news came from the scientific research in Luoyang.
Preliminary test results are out!
Although Qin Feng did not refer to any township examinations, general examinations, etc., he still set up a preliminary examination.
Only those who pass the initial test are eligible to rush to the states and prefectures for the next round of finals!
