Chapter 1738

Then... there was only one possibility!

"Inform Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gao crossed the Sudan Desert and arrived at the Xiongnu Crescent Spring one and a half days earlier than expected!"

"Then Prime Minister Gao broke the Xiongnu Tashi tribe, fought across twelve hundred li in ten days, killed his way through Hexi, broke the Xiongnu King Langya City and King Zhenyue City, and arrived at the Xiongnu Iron Stone Valley!"

"Then Old General Lu led the army in a charge, and Prime Minister Gao killed his way out from the left flank of King Langya and King Zhenyue, breaking the twelve thousand troops of King Zhenyue and King Langya!"

"In this battle, our army won a great victory, beheading tens of thousands of Xiongnu, capturing thirty-six Xiongnu Ministers, Protectors, and Thousand-Household Chiefs, and we are pursuing the fleeing Xiongnu for one hundred li!"

"Not only that, when Prime Minister Gao broke the Xiongnu King Zhenyue City, he not only captured King Zhenyue's wife and children, but also accidentally seized the Xiongnu holy object—the Golden Man for Heaven Worship!"

"This is an unprecedented great victory for our Da Qian, so it is specially presented to Your Majesty!"

This black-armored soldier was extremely excited and finished in one breath.

Wu Zhao heard this.

She was stunned!

Logically speaking, she was the monarch of Da Qian; what major events hadn't she encountered, what storms hadn't she seen? How could she be stunned?

But now, Wu Zhao was truly stunned!

Cutting down tens of thousands of Xiongnu in one battle and pursuing them for one hundred li—this was too brutal!

This was undoubtedly an unprecedented great victory!

But what surprised Wu Zhao even more was that Gao Yang had actually seized the Xiongnu Golden Man for Heaven Worship. This was a Xiongnu holy object!

This battle report came too fast, so fast that Wu Zhao had a sense of unreality.

"Minister Gao, you truly have not failed my trust!"

"I knew you would definitely give me a big surprise and wouldn't let me down!"

"My judgment of people is truly accurate!"

Not to mention Wu Zhao, even Shangguan Wan'er was full of shock, her red lips slightly parted.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Before that guy set out on the expedition, he had flattered her in every way and discussed with her whether he could bring Chu Qingluan back to Da Qian?

To this, Shangguan Wan'er only replied: If you have the ability, as long as it doesn't harm Da Qian's interests, then go ahead and do it, but Chu Qingluan can only be a concubine!

She knew it.

That guy was so lecherous, how could he be defeated in the Hexi land?

A smile appeared on Shangguan Wan'er's face.

"Your Majesty, this is the battle report written by Prime Minister Gao himself, please take a look!"

The black-armored soldier took a secret letter from his bosom and said to Wu Zhao.

"Present it!"

Wu Zhao said with a face full of joy.

Since it was written by Gao Yang himself, Wu Zhao would know if it was true or false at a glance, after all, the handwriting was too ugly.

After simply confirming its authenticity, Wu Zhao swept her gaze down!

When she saw the content of the letter, Wu Zhao could no longer suppress the agitation in her heart!

Since the founding of Da Qian, decades had passed, and her Da Qian had finally stood up!

A great victory!

A true great victory!

Wu Zhao recalled the marriages and silver payments of past dynasties, as well as the arrogant faces of the Xiongnu envoys, and she could no longer suppress the joy in her heart, letting out a hearty laugh!

"Hahaha!"

"Good!"

"Good indeed!"

This laughter was extremely loud, spreading from the large Imperial Study to outside the hall, like an invisible wave of sound, spreading out.

This laughter was also extremely refreshing, as if it wanted to vent all the pent-up frustration of Da Qian for decades out of her chest.

Outside the Imperial Study.

Yan Zheng was stunned.

Lu Wen was stunned.

Song Li was also stunned.

"Censor Yan, did I hear wrong? I seem to hear His Majesty laughing, and the laughter is not small!"

A Confucian scholar with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles looked at Yan Zheng, uncertain.

"Confucian Scholar Huang, you didn't hear wrong. I heard it too. His Majesty is laughing heartily, and seems to be clapping and cheering!"

Song Li said, somewhat uneasy.

Lu Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly felt some regret.

Could it be... this was not a memorial of defeat, but a battle report of a great victory?

Yan Zheng wasn't stupid either; he thought of this possibility immediately!

But he decisively denied it in his heart.

No!

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible! ===== CHAPTER 1740 =====
