The Far East Empire, the imperial capital.
The spacious and flat central street is bustling with people, and the shops on both sides are also full of goods, and the sound of shouting and selling can be heard endlessly.
On the crowded central street, apart from the costumes of Far Easterners, there are also many burly barbarian warriors who have been incorporated into the Far Eastern Guards and are now wandering around the city on vacation.
Those desert empire merchants wearing turbans and merchants speaking with an alliance accent were also bargaining, and the entire imperial capital was bustling and lively.
The Far East Empire encourages commerce and trade, and is vigorously building roads everywhere, which allows many non-local people and merchants to arrive at the imperial capital, making it the largest trading center in the Far East Empire.
"Great victory, great victory in the clouds!"
"Great victory, great victory in the clouds!"
"Duke Zhen and Duke Ding join forces to wipe out 100,000 enemies!"
"Duke Zhen and Duke Ding join forces to wipe out 100,000 enemies!"
On the bustling and bustling street, there was a sudden clatter of horseshoes, and several horse-ridden 800-mile express couriers were galloping towards them.
Seeing the courier flags on the backs of these couriers, the common people and merchants on Central Avenue also gave way one after another.
The courier's fast horse went straight to the imperial city along the central street, and their excited shouts echoed on the noisy victory.
"Did the Yunzhong Province win the battle?"
"Didn't you hear, wipe out one hundred thousand enemies!"
"Ding Guogong, Zhen Guogong is really amazing!"
"It must be those magic sticks doing things again, and now I have been taught a lesson."
"I think they deserve it!"
"My son is also under Ding Guogong's command, maybe he has made meritorious service this time."
"Come on, let's go have a drink or two to celebrate our army's victory!"
Although the messenger's words were simple, the news of the great victory in the province in the cloud was spread from one to another.
After learning of the great victory on the front line, both the common people and the officials of the empire all smiled happily, gave Ding Guogong and Zhen Guogong a thumbs up, and began to praise them.
The various yamen in the imperial capital naturally got the news, but they only got the news of the great victory in the Yunzhong province, but they didn't know the specific situation.
Therefore, Song Zhi, the chief of the Ministry of Industry, Pang Lun, the chief of the Ministry of Rites, and others also hurried to the imperial city to inquire about the news after explaining their work.
In fact, Chen Ziang had already received a report from the Intelligence Investigation Institute, that is, Li Lang and the others decided to make a big deal in the face of the provocation of the Skitarii.
It's just that this news is too relevant, so apart from Chen Ziang, Chief of the Ministry of War Li Qiye and Director of the Intelligence Research Institute Du Jian, the news is also blocked.
When the messenger of Baojie arrived at the palace in eight hundred miles, Chen Ziang had just received the news from the Intelligence Investigation Institute.
It's just that the news from the Intelligence Research Institute is the legend of the flying pigeon, and the amount of information transmitted is not much, and the detailed report of the messenger is required.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Song from the Ministry of Industry and Pang Da from the Ministry of Rites are waiting outside the palace gate, asking for an audience."
When Chen Ziang was immersed in the joy of the frontline victory, he heard that the heads of various departments of the imperial court had also arrived, so he immediately summoned them.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the front line in Yunzhong has won a great victory. Congratulations to Your Majesty. Congratulations to Your Majesty."
When everyone was called into the palace, Pang Lun, chief of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in flattering.
"The front line in the cloud is indeed a great victory, but the battlefield is in Saint Thunder City."
"Li Aiqing and Lu Aiqing teamed up to wipe out 100,000 skitarii in one fell swoop in their homeland of the Far East, Shenglei City, and forced the cathars back to the Neiba River."
Chen Ziang had already learned the specific details of the battle situation through the messenger of Baojie, so he was also very happy to tell the ministers about the situation.
"Ding Guogong and Zhen Guogong are really the pillars of the court!"
"They took back my homeland in the Far East, and they deserve a big reward."
"Congratulations."
After hearing that Li Lang and Fatty Lu had joined forces to wipe out 100,000 enemy troops and take back their homeland in the Far East, the Holy Thunder City, everyone was also very happy.
After all, the vast army over the Baima Pass is pressing down on the border, constantly stirring up troubles on the border, which makes the empire feel angry.
Now Tan Feng's first field army is already secretly preparing, hoping to fight a battle at Baima Pass to kill the arrogance of the Hanhai army.
However, before the First Field Army can take all actions.However, Li Lang and Fatty Lu in the north had already received good news, which undoubtedly made everyone feel a bad breath.
"Holy Thunder City has been occupied by the Holy See for hundreds of years. Now that our army has taken it back, they probably won't let it go."
Li Qiye, chief of the Ministry of War, saw the joy of the crowd, but he was worried instead.
"Besides, now that Hanhai's army is suppressing the border at Baima Pass, Commander Li and the others hastily started a war in Yunzhong Province and the Holy See. This has plunged the empire into a two-front battle. With the current strength of the empire, it is unbearable. "
"I feel that this matter should not be publicized. Instead, we should withdraw from St. Lei City as soon as possible, send people to appease the Holy See, stabilize them, and prevent us from falling into a situation of fighting on two fronts."
After hearing the words of Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, the elated people all fell silent and fell into deep thought.
"Holy Thunder City is my homeland in the Far East. I asked the Holy See to return it several times, but they turned a deaf ear to it. They even expelled my people from the Far East in Holy Thunder City. It's really hateful."
"This time Li Aiqing and Lu Aiqing fought back against the provocations of the Skitarii and took back my homeland in the Far East. Although it is not conducive to the overall strategic situation of the empire, it is still a great achievement."
According to Li Qiye, Chief of the Ministry of War, for the sake of the overall situation of the empire, this great victory should not be publicized, but should be done in a low-key manner.
After all, their main pressure now is on the vast sea, and it is really inappropriate to fight with the Holy See.
So what they should do this time is to appease the Holy See, come up with a few scapegoats at the right time, and avoid large-scale military conflicts with the Holy See.
However, Chen Ziang didn't think so. After all, Li Lang and the others had won the battle on the front line. Instead of promoting it now, they wanted to appease the enemy. This was not his style.
Although Li Lang's actions without authorization hindered the overall situation of the empire, they not only protected the country and the people, but also took back their homeland.
"I feel that what President Li said is somewhat reasonable, but after all, he won the battle and took back his hometown, the Holy Thunder City. I don't think there is any need to be afraid of the Holy See's counterattack. At worst, the soldiers will come and cover it up." Qin An said.
"Yes, what are you afraid of? The big deal is fighting on two fronts. Our empire is united as one. As long as they dare to come, they will be killed!"
"There is no reason to spit out the meat after eating it. Saint Thunder City was originally my land in the Far East. How can we give those gods sticks now!"
Facing the great victory on the front line, all the ministers also had their own ideas. Some thought that Li Lang and the others should be rewarded heavily, while others felt that they should act in a low-key manner to avoid further expansion of the situation and make the empire passive.
