The King of the Northwest was seriously injured when the war was in full swing. People in the court had different thoughts. Most of them felt sorry that they had not acted in full force. With the King of the Northwest's unstoppable momentum, perhaps they could have achieved greater success.
Just when everyone thought that the war was about to be reversed, the King of the Northwest retreated to the rear, and the Northwest Prince, who had been staying in the rear, took over.
If the King of the Northwest is a fierce tiger coming down the mountain with his sword still sharp, then the Prince of the Northwest is a lone wolf who marches forward with great vigor and courage. No one expected that the King of the Northwest's battle wounds would not only not affect the morale at all, but also be used by Shen Yun'an to inspire the fighting spirit of the Northwest soldiers.
On June 17th of the 23rd year of Youning, Shen Yun'an led an army of 300,000 across the northern desert, completely crushed the army of the alien alliance, captured the Mongolian king alive, and burned the Turkic king's tent.
In this battle, Shen Yun'an's cavalry arrived at Guyan Mountain. This was a glory that no one could replicate except the Champion Marquis of the Han Dynasty!
The whole northwest was filled with jubilation and pride. When the good news reached the court, most of the civil and military officials in the court were filled with joy and pride. For a time, many writers wrote for Shen Yun'an, and their words of praise were overflowing.
The legend about the King of the Northwest and his son was being spread in every street and lane. Not only in the Northwest, but people in Kyoto, even the Shen family, were in awe when they mentioned the King of the Northwest and his son.
Even though Shen Xihe turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and stayed in the East Palace to take care of her pregnancy, these news still came like snowflakes. . .
In fact, Shen Yueshan had conducted countless drills to target the foreign tribes in Mobei, and had long been prepared to annihilate them in one fell swoop. However, His Majesty was extremely suspicious of the Northwest, so Shen Yueshan did not dare to act rashly. On the one hand, he was worried that his achievements would be so great that they would threaten the emperor, forcing His Majesty to abandon his last bit of face and kill the Shen family.
Secondly, he was worried that Your Majesty would do something bad behind the scenes, which would prevent him from accomplishing his mission and ruin his reputation, bringing disaster to his future generations.
Before Shen Xihe went to the capital, he had heard Shen Yueshan's regret and sorrow when he chatted with the generals several times. He always thought that this battle in his life was not a big deal, but he didn't know whether Shen Yun'an had this opportunity.
However, Shen Yueshan never expected that his cheap son-in-law would fulfill his wish. This exciting battle was fought so smoothly, which showed how many times they, father and son, had secretly practiced deploying troops and spying on the place.
The reason why this battle went so smoothly was that, firstly, His Majesty had suffered a heavy blow and could not send anyone to cause trouble privately. Secondly, Xiao Huayong's planning over the years had made it so that no one outside the northwest would restrain the Shen family. Even Tubo did not dare to act rashly because of the King of Southern Shu. The first frontier general who controlled the Northwest Fortress was the uncle of Prince Xin Xiao Changqing.
Concubine Rong's words are no longer effective. A letter from Xiao Changqing is enough to make Protector Rong tend to side with Xiao Changqing.
He has already made it clear to the Rong clan leader that he will no longer fight for the throne, and Xiao Changying is not a talent for being an emperor, let alone a heart for being one. The Eastern Palace will become the emperor in no time, so why not sell it to the Eastern Palace as soon as possible, so that the Eastern Palace can naturally rely on it in the future.
In this way, in the competition among several forces, the army of the King of the Northwest had no spies and was ostensibly resisting foreign enemies, not the Shen father and son who took the initiative to provoke the war, so they could fight bravely without any worries.
