    Han Tong hurried into the palace with the military envoys, and on the way he asked the guards to inform the soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion, telling King Yu that Lu Tianfeng had destroyed the Yan Kingdom. By the time the guards went to inform them, it was already too late, and the victory in the north was great.  The news spread like wildfire, and many nobles and important ministers got the information and rushed to report it.  The Kaifeng Mansion was in an uproar, but most of the nobles and important ministers who heard the report were believers. Lu Tianfeng had already created the myth of being undefeated, and the strategy he implemented was indeed in line with military logic. The good fighting skills of Duke Dingguo and his son were also well known, so they all went out to see him.  emperor.  In Duke Dingguo's mansion, a general banged on the door and rushed in as soon as the door opened. The servant who opened the door bowed respectfully. When he looked up, he saw that the people were almost in the front hall. The general rushed into the hall, but  I saw the Duke of Wei, Shi Shouxin, and his wife there, as well as seven generals wearing general armor.  "My lord, here comes the great news. Lu Tianfeng has won a great victory in the north." The general gasped.  Shi Shouxin stood up abruptly, reached for the tea bowl and handed it to the general before walking away. The general took the tea bowl and drank it, then took a breath and said: "Sir, Lu Tianfeng sent an envoy from the north to report the victory, saying that it has been destroyed.  "I've come to Yan State." "What?" A general immediately blurted out in surprise, and the others also looked at the messenger in shock.  "It should be true. The military envoy sent the jade seal of Yan State and the letter of surrender to His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty to Kaifeng Mansion. The military envoy said that after King Yu seized Fu Qian's military power, he asked Yang Yanzhao to serve as a cavalry force of 50,000 people.  Commander, he took a detour and made a surprise attack on the rear of Yan State, while Lu Tianfeng led an infantry attack to contain the 200,000 Yan troops. As a result, Yang Yanzhao made a surprise attack on Youzhou and captured the Emperor of Yan State." the general replied.  Shi Shouxin was stunned for a few seconds and nodded: "It should be true, but Lu Tianfeng knows people well and uses them well. Yang Yanzhao is very capable and familiar with the geography and military situation of the north, so he can take advantage of it." "The military envoy said that the surprise attack strategy  It was what Yang Yanzhao offered. After King Yu heard this, he gave the 30,000 cavalry troops in Hexi, plus the 20,000 cavalry troops obtained from Fu Qian, to Commander Yang Yanzhao. King Yu only left 130,000 infantry troops and the Yan army.  The hide-and-seek battle attracted a hundred thousand cavalry from Yan State," the general said again.  Shi Shouxin nodded, not wanting the general to say again: "The military envoy also said that King Yu has led an army of 200,000 back to Dezhou, and the aftermath of Yan State has been left to Duke Dingguo and Yang Yanzhao." Shi Shouxin  Shouxin was startled and thoughtful, and after a while he said: "Zhang Yongde must have forced Lu Tianfeng's army to return. Zhang Yongde is going to be unlucky this time." "Is Lu Tianfeng going to attack Yongde County King?" Madam Wei Guogong  She stood up and said in surprise that her daughter was married to one of Zhang Yongde's sons, and Xue Juzheng was the matchmaker, just like Zhao Pu held the red string for Shi Zhongfei and Miss Yang Shisi.  "Lu Tianfeng's returning army has 200,000 soldiers, and most of them brought back more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers of the Yan army. The returning army may not go to war with Yongde, but it will definitely prevent Yongde from approaching the north. If Lu Tianfeng allows Yongde to advance to  If we reject the Ma River, the consequence will be that the surrendered generals of the Yan army will rebel. If hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers leave Yan territory, it will not be easy for them to rebel, and they will be able to preemptively threaten Daming Mansion," Shi Shouxin said.  "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. Lu Tianfeng probably hasn't taken control of Yan Di yet, and it's impossible to pacify Yan Di soon." A general said.  Shi Shouxin nodded and said: "You all go back. You are not allowed to do anything without my order. To disturb the current situation is to seek death." "Promise!" The generals responded with military salutes and left.  As soon as the generals left, Shi Shouxin ordered him to change his clothes and enter the palace. The court clothes were always ready. Mrs. Wei Guogong was busy helping Shi Shouxin put them on. As he was putting them on, Shi Shouxin said: "These guys are rushing me in a hurry. Fortunately, I am wise."  , otherwise we will be in big trouble." "If you don't help Zhao Kuangyi win the Kaifeng Mansion, are you leaning towards Lu Tianfeng?" asked Mrs. Wei Guogong.  "Before, I was waiting and watching, so I couldn't hide. Now I have to lean towards Lu Tianfeng. Since Lu Tianfeng has brought back 200,000 troops from the Yan Kingdom, he can echo Taiyuan Guanlong, and his prestige will skyrocket."  Shi Shouxin said.  "You said a few days ago that His Majesty had the intention to give the country of Great Zhou to Lu Tianfeng. Now it seems that it is impossible not to give it." Mrs. Wei Guogong said with emotion.  "It's over a long time ago. Your Majesty's two adult sons are too incompetent. It's up to me to decide whether to have power or have a son. Your Majesty doesn't want to have no heirs." Shi Shouxin said.  Mrs. Wei Guogong nodded and said, "Can you help to get out of danger in the future regarding Prince Yongde?" "It's very difficult for me to take care of myself now. Our son-in-law is the son of the eldest princess. I can keep my son-in-law alive."  Life, whether Prince Yongde is a blessing or a curse, I can only watch, but he is in a daze. Since he followed the order and blocked Zhao Kuangyi, there is no need to withdraw again," Shi Shouxin said.  "Didn't you say that it was because Lu Tianfeng took away Fu Qian's military power?"?The father-in-law said.  Shi Shouxin shook his head and said: "So he is confused. Since his military power was taken away by Lu Tianfeng, he can't get it back at all, but he naively wants to take it back. Now he only has 300,000 troops, and he has fallen behind the pass and  He can't get back the close military strength elsewhere. He is in a dilemma." After saying this, Shi Shouxin hurriedly left the mansion and rushed to the palace to join in the fun. Going to see the emperor now is an attitude. He estimated that many ministers and nobles would be vacillating.  Went to the palace.  Sure enough, when Shi Shouxin arrived, more than 200 people came to the palace. When they saw Shi Shouxin coming, many ministers and nobles had more or less strange expressions, because since Shi Shouxin was declared a traitor to the Zhao brothers, he  He stayed at home because of his illness, but now he left home for the great victory in the north, which means it is a weather vane.  Emperor Zhou was recuperating in the harem, but he was invited to the front hall by Han Tong's urgent request to see him. After hearing Han Tong's report, Emperor Zhou's eyes were filled with excitement. Wang Jien went over to take the gift from the military envoy and opened it.  After careful inspection, he presented it to Emperor Zhou.  Emperor Zhou directly held up the open letter of surrender. After reading it, he nodded and said: "Tianfeng is interested." Han Tong was startled and did not understand the emperor's words for a moment. Seeing Emperor Zhou read another letter, he looked lightly.  Nodding lightly, it was a letter written by Lu Qi, telling Emperor Zhou why he was able to overthrow the Yan State. It was because he used the warships of the Jiangyin Army to carry the "Suzhou Army" to surprise Youzhou, and other specific battle conditions.  After reading it, Emperor Zhou whispered: "I have been fighting against the Yan Kingdom for many years, but I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be able to see more than ten northern states included in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty." "Your Majesty, this time Lu Tianfeng, oh, His Highness King Yu has made a contribution.  Not small," Han Tong said.  Emperor Zhou smiled and said: "He is already under one person, and there is no reward for his achievements." Han Tong did not dare to say anything after hearing this. Ever since Lu Tianfeng was named King Yu, there was a rumor in Kaifeng Mansion that His Majesty the Emperor  When he was in Hexi, he had already recognized Lu Tianfeng as his adopted son, and Lu Tianfeng once said something treasonous, that is, his son-in-law should be regarded as half a son. He was able to marry the two princesses and get closer to the emperor.  , and in fact, the emperor really agreed to marry the two princesses to Lu Tianfeng.  Since there were too many ministers and nobles to see him, the emperor held a court meeting and went to the Zichen Hall to accept the worship of the ministers and announced Lu Tianfeng's great victory in the north. Wang Jien took the letter of surrender from the Emperor of Yan to the ministers for reading. Finally, the ministers congratulated the ten emperors of the north.  The Yuzhou domain was included in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.  The next day, Emperor Zhou held another ceremony to worship heaven, and then rushed eight hundred miles to spread the word to the world.  With the military report of Lu Tianfeng¡¯s great victory in the north, the atmosphere in Kaifeng Mansion has quietly changed. The most obvious thing is that the officers and soldiers in the city have shown their dedication, and the people in the city have also turned from unrest to stability.  The news of the great victory in the north was sent to Luoyang by flying cavalry on the day the military envoy arrived at Kaifeng Mansion. Cao Bin was shocked when he received the report, but he interrogated the person who sent the message several times. After sending it away, he spent a long time in the study, and finally took out the secret.  All the hidden letters from Zhao Kuangyi and Zhang Yongde were burned, and then the person who sent the message was sent to sue Pan Mei.  Pan Mei was still stationed in Xiangzhou and was preparing for the western expedition to the pass. It turned out that after Zhang Yongde withdrew his army to make way, as soon as Zhao Kuangyi's army arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, he sent a letter inciting rebellion to Cao Bin and Pan Mei. First, he sent letters to the two county princes.  After making a promise, the second was to criticize the emperor for actually giving the country of Great Zhou to Lu Tianfeng.  Cao Bin, Pan Mei and Lu Qi all had a quarrel, and as veterans of the Great Zhou Dynasty with great military achievements, they naturally resisted the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty into the hands of Lu Tianfeng, so Pan Mei and Cao Bin both responded verbally and agreed to Kaifeng Mansion.  After falling into the hands of Zhao Kuangyi, they attacked the pass because Cao Bin and Pan Mei's family members were all in Kaifeng Mansion.
