Chapter 681 The Emperor of Chu goes south, the soldiers are not bloody (2)

Speaking of which, Xiling and Da Chu are indeed worthy of being the same source. At that time, cavalry rebelled against the previous dynasty and established a country for a short time. After that, Xiling was powerful and Chu was strong, and Xiling was in chaos. No one took advantage of anyone within one or two hundred years. Now, the new emperor of Da Chu could not escape, and the imperial city of Xiling was also overwhelmed by many soldiers.

Xu Qingbai waved his folding fan and shook his head and said, "Xiling Emperor, does Xiling Imperial City really mean to you? The so-called imperial city... the place where the emperor is. As long as the emperor is still there, where can the imperial city be built? In this case, even if the imperial city is really preserved... can you really live with peace of mind?"

Emperor Xiling was silent, and at the same time, he could not help but complain in his heart that his ancestors chose the location of the imperial city. The borders of the Western Regions are less than six or seven hundred miles away in the Xiling imperial city. It was easy to say when Xiling was strong in the past. It was very convenient to order rare tributes, peerless beauty, rare BMWs and other small countries in the Western Regions. However, once Xiling declined, the cavalry of the Western Regions countries could even reach the imperial city in less than a few days. What's more, they would have to live next to the Mo family army in the future. Emperor Xiling felt like he was sitting on pins and needles when he thought about it.

After being reminded by Xu Qingbai, Emperor Xiling suddenly felt that the land of the Imperial City was a bit hot. He didn't want to face the strong Mo family army in front, and the countries in the Western Regions with deep blood hatreds, and the people who were eyeing the fierce hatred in the sea of ​​blood. However, he could not bear this face by sending the Imperial City out so easily.

How could Xu Qingbai not understand his thoughts, and was not in a hurry. He smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, Emperor Xiling might as well think carefully for a few days? Of course, if our two armies can resolve peacefully, Prince Ding's Mansion would not have asked for a city of Emperor Xiling for vain." Such a clear hint made Prince Xiling's heart move, and he looked at Xu Qingbai in question. Xu Qingbai smiled slightly and said indifferently: "The orthodox Xiling royal family... has been suppressed by King Zhennan. If King Zhennan had not ruled out dissidents back then, why would the three famous generals of Xiling die to this point? If Xiling and Prince Ding's Mansion live in harmony, they will naturally be friends. Is it common sense for friends to support each other?"

Emperor Xiling's eyes lit up. No matter how many skills he has, he is also an emperor and a man. If a man as an emperor does not have the intention of holding power, he will not sit in this position. The price offered by Xu Qingbai is undoubtedly very attractive. If the Ding Palace helps him suppress Lei Zhenting, then he will be able to control the government and become the true emperor of Xiling. Even if there is only two-thirds of the territory left in Xiling? Isn't he the same as he has no right now? He is even less free than an ordinary prince.

Xu Qingbai understood the truth that too much is too little, so he stopped saying anything. He stood up leisurely and said goodbye to Emperor Xiling, leaving him time to think for himself.

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a sentence, "Your Majesty, it is not your fault in Xiling at this point..."

Seeing Xu Qingbai leaving calmly, Emperor Xiling couldn't help feeling a little lost and jealous. Even though the other party was just a small young man who seemed to not even have a formal official title, the demeanor and leisure he showed in front of him, the king of a country, made him jealous. At the same time, Xu Qingbai's last words were deeply reflected in his mind. Yes... All this was not his fault, it was Lei Zhenting's fault!

"Your Majesty?" The eunuch next to him came forward to serve hot tea and said cautiously.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the tribute tea he was used to drinking. Then Emperor Xiling breathed a long sigh of relief and asked casually: "Do you think... can the imperial city be defended?"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and I will last forever for thousands of years. Of course I can defend it." The eunuch said respectfully, although he didn't even believe what he said. Fortunately, the Emperor Xiling did not mean to pursue the truth or falsehood of his words. He nodded silently and said, "Well, let's take a look." The eunuch was serving the side without saying a word. He was a person who served the Emperor Xiling for many years. You can guess what Xiling's intentions are just looking at his expression. Of course, this time is no exception. He is just a small eunuch, but it is not his turn to say more in national affairs.

In the large tent of the Mo family army outside the imperial city, all the generals of the Mo family army gathered here to discuss. The Mo family army attacked the Xiling Imperial City with great momentum, but the prince ordered them to siege and not attack, which made many generals puzzled. Shouldn't they take advantage of the army's momentum in full swing?

"Feng San, what did the prince and the princess think?" Zhang Qilan was unable to ask, but he was not afraid of this, and directly asked Feng Zhiyao, who had been with Mo Xiuyao for the longest time. Feng Zhiyao looked at the top of the tent and rolled his eyes and said, "How could I know what the prince was thinking? I am not the worm in the prince's belly."

A deputy general hesitated and asked, "Is it the prince who intends to withdraw his troops?"

As soon as this statement was made, the others stopped talking. They naturally knew the news that the Emperor of Great Chu went south. Although they were unwilling to have any connection with the Royal Family of Great Chu, they did not have any feelings for the people of Great Chu. Although they had not seen the situation in Great Chu with their own eyes, they could still guess a little. So it is inevitable that they would guess whether the prince planned to withdraw his troops.

"Actually... it's nothing to withdraw troops. If the prince wants to reinforce the Great Chu?" someone asked hesitantly. After all, they are from the same lineage as the people of Great Chu, and even most of the people in the Mo family have relatives and friends and old friends and still in the Great Chu. If the prince really plans to send troops to the Great Chu, no one will object. No matter how much the Mo family hates the Great Chu royal family, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. After all, people's hearts are all flesh.

"Also, Beirong and the Mo family army have a great grudge. If the prince really planned this way, we would naturally not object." Mo Xiuwen, the former Ding king, also had tens of thousands of Mo family soldiers who died in vain, and at least nearly 200,000 Mo family soldiers died in the battle that year.

"What are you talking about?" Ye Li's elegant voice came from outside the tent, and everyone quickly stood up to salute. Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li came hand in hand, with a faint warmth between their eyebrows, and it was obvious that they were in a good mood.

"I've met the prince, princess."

Mo Xiuyao took Ye Li to the main seat, raised his eyebrows and looked at the generals and smiled, "The princess is asking, what are you talking about so lively?" Yun Ting was pushed out suddenly, and looked helplessly at his colleagues who were all looking at his nose and looking at his heart and could only say, "Your Majesty, the last generals are guessing when the prince plans to attack the city."

Looking at Yun Ting's serious look, Ye Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be nervous, the prince and I just asked casually. Sit down and talk."
