Chapter 88: Songs from all sides of Long, victory report sent to Chang'an

~7 min read 1,387 words

The generals above the valley listened to the sounds of surrender one after another, all overjoyed, and after looking at each other, they cupped their fists at Chen Yan in unison:

"Congratulations, my Lord!"

"Congratulations, my Lord!"

"A great victory!"

The sound of surrender echoing through Eagle Hawk Valley meant a great victory, a great victory that was almost bloodless!

It was also an ambush case that could be recorded in history!

"Everyone, it's too early to be happy now..."

Chen Yan looked down, his face had no joy, on the contrary, it was more serious, and he said in a deep voice: "We haven't won yet!"

Gu Yuci heard this, suddenly realized something, and asked: "My Lord, are you worried that this is a rebel plot, a feigned surrender?"

As he spoke, a chill flashed across his back.

Listening to the surrender just now, he only cared about being happy, but ignored this most important point...

They could feign defeat before, why couldn't the rebel army feign surrender?

Sure enough, people shouldn't get carried away, if it weren't for his own Lord keeping calm, he would have made a fatal mistake that would become a laughingstock for ages...

Chen Yan's gaze sharpened, examining the bottom, and said faintly: "Not excluding this possibility..."

The Gao King in the history books didn't use this operation less, and he liked to swear oaths, fooling the Erzhu clan around.

"But the commander of this rebel army has been shot dead by He Ba Le..."

Yuwen Ze didn't understand, thought for a moment, and asked the doubt in his heart: "And trapped in Eagle Hawk Valley, showing signs of collapse, should there be no waves, right?"

He understood his brother's worry, just felt that he was a bit too cautious.

The morale of the army was chaotic, and there were signs of overall collapse, it didn't look like something that could be acted out by a plot...

"We don't need to gamble, and we don't need to be in a hurry!"

Chen Yan smiled indifferently, patted Yuwen Ze on the shoulder, and explained patiently.

He paused and continued: "Whether it's a true surrender or a feigned surrender, trap the rebel army in the valley for a day and a night, making them exhausted and losing the ability to fight!"

Why gamble and wave when you have a sure win?

Waiting for another day and night was not difficult at all, Chen Yan had plenty of patience in this regard.

Consuming the rebel army's resistance ability, and being able to be safe, and it would be easier to accept the surrendered soldiers, why not do it?

"What the Lord said is very true!" Everyone said in unison.

Chen Yan snapped his fingers, summoned You Xian, and ordered: "Send someone to inform General Yan to block the front and rear exits of Eagle Hawk Valley!"

"And organize people to take turns singing..."

"Long folk songs!"

This was a replica of songs from all sides, mental torture.

The Qinzhou soldiers under his command were all from Long, and it was easy to pick out those who could sing folk songs.

A day and a night later.

The physically and mentally exhausted rebel army finally got the opportunity to lay down their weapons and surrender.

Since then, the ambush in Eagle Hawk Valley and the siege of reinforcements were completely over...

Chang'an.

Tian Guan Fu.

Council Hall.

"Alright, let's make such arrangements for the deployment in the east!"

Yuwen Hu tapped the table lightly and said in a deep voice: "It's getting late, everyone disperse..."

"This subordinate retires!"

The officials who came to discuss matters stood up, bowed respectfully, and left one after another.

Only Yuwen Heng didn't move, stayed in place, and after others left, he asked: "Brother, those two children went to Qinzhou, it's been so many days, aren't you worried at all?"

His words were full of worry.

These were their own two juniors, leading troops on the battlefield for the first time...

"What's there to worry about?"

Yuwen Hu heard this, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and asked back casually.

He paused and continued: "That kid A Yan is cunning and full of bad water, can those people in Qinzhou be his opponents?"

"Just let A Ze temper himself by his side and learn some things well..."

Worried?

Rather than worrying about those two children, it's better to worry about the rebel army in the Qinzhou riot!

Think about how they will be dealt with by Chen Yan...

"Although that's what you say..."

Yuwen Heng nodded, but said: "But you gave three hundred cavalry and threw them to quell the rebellion, isn't it a bit too difficult for them?"

As he spoke, he raised three fingers.

It was a look of injustice.

If it weren't for the fact that your Great Chancellor's only son also went, it would really make people think it was deliberate...

"There are also twenty Embroidered Attire Envoys of the Zhuque Guard!" Yuwen Hu put down the tea bowl and emphasized.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Three hundred and twenty people are really many!"

Yuwen Heng rolled his eyes and said sarcastically.

He paused and continued: "No matter how much of a rabble the riot rebel army is, there are tens of thousands of them..."

"The two children are leading troops for the first time, standing alone..."

"Aren't you afraid they'll have an accident?"

Sometimes, Yuwen Heng really didn't understand what his brother was thinking.

If something happened, how would he explain it to A Tang?

And how would he explain it to his late sister-in-law?

"Don't forget that Uncle took us to follow Duke Heba to settle Guanzhong with a thousand men..."

Yuwen Hu still didn't change his face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said calmly: "A Heng, you have to believe in their ability!"

As he spoke, his gaze became deep, and those glorious years surfaced in his heart again.

More than twenty years have passed...

"Can that be the same?" Yuwen Heng couldn't laugh or cry, and retorted.

It is true that they once pacified Guanzhong with a thousand men, but back then, they had spent countless days braving mountains of blades and rains of arrows, and they had their elders to guide them...

Now those two children have nothing.

Just as Yuwen Heng was about to continue saying something, Gongyang Hui's urgent voice came from outside the door:

"Victory report!"

"Great Chancellor, the victory report just arrived!"

"Where did the victory report come from?"

Yuwen Heng was startled, frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized something, "Is it from Qinzhou?!"

"Yes, Grand Marshal." Gongyang Hui held two documents and replied.

"Quick, let me see first..."

Yuwen Heng saw this, snatched the things from Gongyang Hui's hands, and flipped through them, "Two battles, two victories!"

"First battle feigned defeat, paralyzed the enemy, lured the enemy deep, concentrated strength, and captured all the rebel army of Shanggui in one fell swoop!"

"Ambushed in Eagle Hawk Valley again, killed three thousand enemies, forced surrender of more than seventeen thousand!"

"Good kid, I knew he could do it, hahahaha!"

Yuwen Heng, whose expression was tense, suddenly beamed with joy.

More excited than he had won a battle himself.

"Tsk!"

Yuwen Hu witnessed this scene, smacked his lips, and mocked: "I don't know who was just there, talking eloquently, saying that this King was making things difficult for people?"

"And worried about an accident?"

Between the lines, it was full of meaning.

"Who?"

Yuwen Heng didn't blush or heartbeat, and smiled: "I don't know!"

"Is there such a person?"

He said it righteously.

"A dignified Grand Marshal, his face is like a city wall!" Yuwen Hu shook his head helplessly and complained.

"Wait!"

Yuwen Heng looked at Yuwen Hu's expression and wondered: "Brother, why aren't you surprised at all?"

After saying that, he slapped his forehead and muttered: "That's right! You have the Mirror Bureau, I'm afraid you knew it long ago..."

"No wonder you are so calm!"

"That's natural!" Yuwen Hu turned the jade thumb ring and smiled.

"Eh!"

Yuwen Heng was about to read the victory report again, but found that there was another document below, and wondered: "Why is there another plea of guilt?" ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
