Chapter 251: The First Achievement of the Southern Expedition Goes to Lu Jiang

brush!

As soon as the news came out to the messenger, Deputy Marshal Chang Yuchun and Deputy General Su Chen were shocked.

Especially the governor of Liangjiang, Su Chen, who was born as a general, his expression was obviously stagnant, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to ask:

"What are you talking about, the vanguard general Lu Jiang killed the Nanzhao Emperor Murongfu in front of the two armies?"

"Is this news confirmed to be correct?"

Hearing this, the messenger nodded heavily and said firmly: "Reporting to the deputy general, this news is absolutely true!"

"General Lu is now leading his troops to clear out the remaining evildoers in Nanzhao. I have specially ordered the last general to come and report to Deputy Commander Chang!"

After receiving the affirmative answer from the messenger, Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang, could no longer hide the smile on his face. It was a smile of relief mixed with a little desire for fame and wealth.

Climbing first, trapping the enemy, beheading generals, and capturing the flag are the highest honors among military achievements.

What's more, he still killed the enemy emperor in front of the two armies.

In this way, the first achievement of this southern expedition was none other than the vanguard general Lu Jiang.

In the final analysis, Lu Jiang was also the deputy general of the Liangjiang New Army under Su Chen's command. He represented the entire Liangjiang New Army group. He achieved such great military exploits during the army's southern expedition;

This is not only the personal honor and contribution of the pioneer general Lu Jiang, but also represents the contribution and honor of Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang who surrendered to the new emperor Chen Huaian as a surrender general, and the 50,000 Liangjiang new army under his command!

With this military exploit, the Liangjiang New Army can finally gain a foothold in the new dynasty.

Su Chen, whose tense nerves could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Chang Yuchun, the deputy marshal of troops and horses, also recovered from the brief shock and said with great pride: "Beheading the general in front of the formation is the highest honor in military merit throughout the ages. At the end of Qin Dynasty, there was Han Xin, and Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms ;"

"Throughout history, this is the first time I have heard of someone who killed the emperor of an enemy country in front of the two armies;"

As he spoke, Chang Yuchun waved his hand and praised the vanguard general Lu Jiang without hesitation, saying: "Let's go, all the generals will follow this deputy commander to meet the warriors of our Dragon City army who can rival Han Xin and Guan Yu." "Jiang Lu Jiang!"

"I, the deputy commander, will personally draw up a memorial to express his gratitude to the emperor to thank General Lu!"

"The deputy commander is mighty!"

On the battlefield, Lu Jiang, the vanguard general of Longcheng's southern expedition, was leading his cavalry soldiers to eliminate the remnants of the Nanzhao cavalry who were stubbornly resisting on the battlefield, and at the same time, he was riding his horse to alert the Piao soldiers several miles away.

Until now, his head was still dizzy.

Lu Jiang never dreamed that the Nanzhao general whom he knocked down on horseback was actually the Nanzhao Emperor Mu Rongfu.

No matter how valuable the emperor of Nanzhao is, he is also a real emperor!

This incredible military achievement made Lu Jiang dizzy and he still hasn't been able to calm down.

"Report——"

"General, there are several fine cavalry in the Pyu Kingdom's army formation watching the battle in front of us, attacking our army!"

Suddenly, the sound of notification from hundreds of soldiers beside him immediately brought the vanguard general Lu Jiang, who was still immersed in dizziness, back to his senses.

Looking for the reputation, he saw three war horses galloping towards their own camp in the Pyu formation a few miles away. The flag bearers on the horses also raised the white flag symbolizing surrender.

Lu Jiang did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered: "Send the order, the whole army is on alert!"

Then, he ordered his soldiers: "Come here, let's bury the body of the Nanzhao Emperor!"

"The general will get the order!"

A moment later, deputy marshal Chang Yuchun and his entourage, as well as the envoys of Piao State who rode horses to submit the surrender order, arrived at the war zone almost at the same time and found the vanguard general Lu Jiang.

Naturally, it was not the vanguard general Lu Jiang's turn to take over the matter of accepting the imperial edict of surrender from Piao.

Chang Yuchun stood up with his sword drawn, and asked the Piao envoy who was kneeling on the ground to bow and salute, "Who is kneeling in front of me, the deputy commander?"

The envoy of Piao State said: "The guilty minister is the special envoy in front of the palace of King Mang Yinglong of Piao State. He came here specially to submit the surrender decree of Piao State to the general of Longcheng's southern expedition;"

"I, the King of Piao Kingdom, Mang Yinglong, am determined to lead millions of Piao Kingdom subjects to surrender to the new emperor!"

snort!

Chang Yuchun snorted coldly and did not immediately take the surrender edict from the Piao envoy. Instead, he looked at the Piao envoy playfully.

In fact, Chang Yuchun had already anticipated the surrender of the Piao Kingdom to the new emperor Chen Huaian before the two armies fought.

At the beginning, when he was in Dali, the capital of Nanzhao, Chang Yuchun was still wary of Piao's elephant troops, so much so that he summoned his generals overnight to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy.

But when the two armies suddenly encountered each other outside the city of Kachin in the Pyu Kingdom, and when he discovered that the Pyu Kingdom's elephant soldiers only had more than a thousand war elephants and thousands of elephant soldiers, Chang Yuchun suddenly felt that he was too cautious. They paid too much attention to the Piao Kingdom's elephant soldiers.

There are only more than a thousand war elephants. If there are no elite cavalry and infantry to support and cooperate on the battlefield, they will not be able to make any waves.

In the face of the Dragon City army, which has an absolute advantage in strength and weapons and equipment, even if they use wheel battles and human sea tactics to attack them, they can still annihilate Piao's elephant soldiers.

Therefore, in this battle, Chang Yuchun, who had previously liked to take the lead and ride his horse into battle to kill the enemy, did not even have the urge to charge, but left the opportunity to lead the army to the vanguard general Lu Jiang.

Facts have proved that the pioneer general Lu Jiang has lived up to the trust of Deputy Commander Chang.

In the first battle, he not only defeated the elephant soldiers of the Pyu Kingdom, but also killed the emperor of Nanzhao, Mu Rongfu, in front of the two armies. This made Chang Yuchun start to look at him with some respect.

At this time, facing the envoys of the Pyu Kingdom who came to submit the edict of surrender, Chang Yuchun was also ready to give them a warning first, which was also to set rules and etiquette for them.

Sure enough, seeing that the commander of the Longcheng army was reluctant to accept the edict of surrender from the Pyu Kingdom, the envoys of the Pyu Kingdom who came to deliver the letter were immediately nervous, and their whole body began to shake uncontrollably like sieves.

Suddenly, Chang Yuchun shouted: "King Mang Yinglong of the Pyu Kingdom is so bold that he colluded with the remnants of Nanzhao an hour ago and sent elephant troops to harass our Longcheng army;"

"Now, seeing that the Nanzhao army is defeated, he wants to ask for forgiveness from our Longcheng army with a letter of surrender. Do you really think that this deputy commander and the Longcheng army can be fooled so easily?"

"Do you really think that the royal majesty of the new emperor of my Celestial Empire is so easy to provoke?"

"It's so outrageous!"

"Please calm down, Deputy Commander Chang--"

Here, the kneeling Pyu envoy was frightened by Chang Yuchun's roar, his face turned pale, and he almost buried his head in the ground.

He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, saying: "Deputy Marshal Chang, our king was previously deceived by the Nanzhao emperor, ah, and was also deceived by the evil words of the remnants of Nanzhao. He never intended to be an enemy of the Longcheng army;"

"At this moment, our king Mang Yinglong has come to his senses and is determined to forgive his offense against the new emperor. I hope that Deputy Marshal Chang will give our subjects of the Pyu Kingdom a chance to atone for his sins;"

"In addition to this surrender edict, Deputy Marshal Chang can also propose the other surrender conditions to our king in person;"

"I think our king will show enough sincerity to express his determination to surrender to the new emperor!"

Humph!

Chang Yuchun snorted again and said, "It's better to do so!"

"You, go back and tell Mang Yinglong immediately to disarm the Pyu Kingdom army on the opposite hill, line up and wait for this deputy marshal to come and personally receive the surrender edict from him!"

"I obey your order, I obey your order!"
