The news of Hantan Port was returned to the Imperial City of Hai Kingdom. Emperor Yan Fang (Fang? Nange Feier's current identity) excitedly found the empire's Prime Minister He Anxi to celebrate together. Yan Fang said with great excitement: "Teacher, Hantan

In the great victory of Hong Kong, Chen Xiu destroyed 70,000 Shen Kingdom’s landing troops at the expense of 50,000 ordinary soldiers.”

He? Anxi said calmly: "Our army is originally the defensive side. It is normal for the casualties to be less than the enemy. Why should the emperor be so excited?"

Yan Fang said seriously: "Teacher, do you know which troops the Shen soldiers who were killed by our army came from?"

He? Anxi: "The battle report that I saw only contained the number of enemies annihilated, but did not mention the identities of those who were annihilated."

Yan Fang said excitedly: "According to Chen Xiu's report, the enemies they annihilated came from the Tiger Camp and Wild Wolf Camp of the Boyade family. Teacher, you have been in the Shen Kingdom for many years, and you should know that these two troops are in the Shen Kingdom Army."

status."

He? Anxi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, the Tiger Battalion and the Wild Wolf Battalion are the most powerful armies under the Boyad family. Today, they suffered heavy losses outside our Hantan Port. It is really satisfying."

Yan Fang continued: "This Chen Xiu did not disappoint me. He is indeed an expert in defensive operations trained by the Chen family. Teacher, how do you think I should reward this Chen Xiu and let him serve as the deputy commander of the Tiantai Mountain defense line?"

"

He? Anxi said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't rush to think about how to reward Chen Xiu. I have received many memorials to impeach him. Your Majesty, you should take a look first."

Yan Fang waved his hand and received: "I won't read it anymore. Teacher, please tell me who is impeaching my hero and what is the content of the impeachment."

He? Anxi took out several memorials to impeach Chen Xiu and said: "The people who impeached were mainly from the military, especially the soldiers who retreated from Hantan Port to the Tiantai Mountain defense line. The content of their impeachments was the same, which was to accuse Chen Xiu

When defending Hantan Port, the wounded soldiers were forced to form a death squad. Such an inhumane practice chilled the soldiers. If this person is not dealt with, no one will fight to the end for the empire in the future."

Yan Fang did not directly respond to He Anxi's words, but asked calmly: "Is there really no relationship between those who impeached Chen Xiu?"

He? Anxi smiled knowingly and said: "Your Majesty is wise. On the surface, the people who wrote these memorials seem to have no connection, but in fact, the families behind them are all people who have no dealings with the Chen family."

Yan Fang sighed: "It's really sad that these people from aristocratic families still don't forget to fight among themselves."

What? Anxi said with a wry smile: "This kind of thing is sad and deplorable to your Majesty, but not to these aristocratic families. The Hai Kingdom is your Majesty's Hai Kingdom, not the Hai Kingdom of the major aristocratic families.

Therefore, for them, whoever becomes the emperor is the same to them. If it can make their family stronger, they will not even mind changing to another emperor. But the rise of the Chen family is a great deal for them.

The threat to the country of Hai is only so great. If the Chen family gets one more share, they can only get one less share. If you think about it from your perspective, what would you do?"

Yan Fang was speechless. Yes, all empires in the elixir world are governed by royal families and aristocratic families. For aristocratic families, as long as they have enough benefits, they can change their families at any time. Especially in war years, in order to preserve the family

There are many families that surrender to the enemy. After these families surrender, they can keep their glory and wealth, and even move to a higher level. But as an emperor, he must never surrender. Everyone knows that the emperor

The only outcome of surrender is death.

Yan Fang can completely understand the actions of these aristocratic families. The relationship between the emperor and the aristocratic families is originally a combination of interests. For the sake of interests, no matter what actions the aristocratic families make, it is reasonable. As an emperor, he wants the aristocratic families to be loyal to him.

We must give them enough benefits. And now the only way to confirm that they stand with us is to continue to win, so that these aristocratic families feel that staying with us is profitable.

The current situation is that Chen Xiu of the Chen family shined in the first battle against the Shen Kingdom, and is expected to rise suddenly and become a popular figure around the emperor. People from other aristocratic families will naturally be jealous, and it will be natural to impeach him.

.

However, the content of these people's impeachment this time is really troublesome. What they are suing is that Chen Xiu forcibly used wounded soldiers to form a death squad, which was a complete disregard for human life. This kind of thing is usually done in the army, especially during the retreat.

It is commonplace that as a commander of an army, he always considers only one problem during wartime, how to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost. Using wounded soldiers to form a death squad after the break is a wise choice in many cases.

The reason is very simple. First, wounded soldiers stay with the determination to die to stop the enemy, often bursting out with unexpected huge combat effectiveness; second, when a large army retreats, if it carries a large number of wounded, it is almost difficult to get rid of the enemy's entanglement.

, maybe the whole army will be wiped out. Of course, as the family members of the death squad members, they will also receive higher pensions after their sacrifice. This kind of thing is tacitly understood among the top brass of the military, no matter what

No one can tell the specific rights and wrongs of the matter.

Now these people ignore the military practice and jump out to impeach Chen Xiu, which is equivalent to posing a problem for Yan Fang. In the battle of Hantan Port, Chen Xiu used tactics reasonably, commanded advances and retreats appropriately, and achieved impressive results. Logically speaking,

They should be given promotions and titles as a mark of recognition. However, the impeachment of these people has had a very bad impact on ordinary soldiers. They are taking human lives for the sake of being superiors. If they are not severely punished, the hearts of the soldiers will be chilled.

Yan Fang thought for a long time, and said to He Anxi: "Teacher, I don't think this matter is only caused by conflicts between families. I suspect that there are people from Shen in it. You arrange for people to report these impeachment reports."

The cultivator will investigate carefully."

He? Anxi nodded and said: "I also have thoughts in this regard, but I don't have enough evidence for you yet. The question now is, Your Majesty, how do you plan to handle this matter."

Yan Fang said: "I have no good solution for the time being, so I can only give Chen Xiu some grievances first."

He? Anxi was surprised and said: "Your Majesty is not planning to demote Chen Xiu or even expel him from the army."

Yan Fang: "Of course I won't do something like destroying the Great Wall. I plan to let him stay with me and be a well-known and anonymous staff officer. I believe that given time, he will definitely become a commander-in-chief."

He? Anxi was still a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, there are not only one or two impeachment memorials here. If they are not handled well, it may cause some unnecessary rumors in the court."

Yan Fang said coldly: "I can understand the various behaviors that these family members have done for the benefit of the family. However, understanding does not mean that I will condone these people who participated in the impeachment. I will settle accounts with them one by one afterwards.

.”

"As for how to deal with these impeachment memorials, teacher, you just have to figure it out. Since the situation on the Tiantai Mountains' defense line is getting increasingly tense, I have decided to rush to the Tiantai Mountains area early tomorrow morning and directly command the defense of Tiantai Mountains. The matter of the Imperial City will be

Teacher, please pay more attention."

He? Anxi knew the importance of the Tiantai Mountain defense zone to Hai's defense system. Only Yan Fang personally went to take command could deter the arrogant soldiers there.

So he bowed to Yan Fang and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, feel free to go to the Tiantai Mountains and direct the next war. All matters in the imperial city will be left to the old ministers."

This was what Yan Fang was waiting for, and he said happily: "Well, I'll leave the matters in the court to the teacher. Your first priority is to ensure the supply of materials in the front, and the second is to help me stabilize the rear. Before I leave,

The teacher will be given the power to make arbitrary decisions on an ad hoc basis, and the teacher can rest assured to suppress any behavior that undermines the rear."

What? Anxi said seriously: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if I risk my life, I must maintain the stability of the imperial city and the rear and ensure the supply of frontline materials. By the way, Your Majesty, what are you going to do with Chen Xiu? After all, he is now

Being impeached by so many people, we cannot have an attitude."

Yan Fang smiled and said: "Chen Xiu is still capable, but his actions are not thorough enough. I plan to remove all his posts and stay with me as a staff officer without any position or power."

He? Anxi bowed and said: "What your Majesty said is true. It is most appropriate to deal with it coldly for the time being. It can also appease some of those who impeached him. It's just that Chen Xiu is a little aggrieved."

Yan Fang: "Sometimes, suffering some grievances is not necessarily a bad thing. Chen Xiu is a piece of rough jade, but jade cannot be used unless it is polished. This Chen Xiu still needs to be polished."

With a weak force, Chen Xiu successfully inflicted heavy losses on the elite troops of the State of Shen that landed, and successfully completed the mission assigned by His Majesty the Emperor. However, he was accused of being cruel in using troops and lost his military power.

On the other side, as the commander-in-chief of this battle, Delon Boyard only took half a day to break through Hantan Port, and within two days, he arranged millions of landing personnel in an orderly manner. So "brilliant"
