Above the main hall of the palace, His Majesty is dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a purple gold crown inlaid with hair and jewels on his head. He has two dragons on his eyebrows, and he is wiping his forehead with gold. Nine strings of jewels cover up His Majesty's deep black and gold eyes.
His eyes and face are already pale, and although his hair is gray, his every move and gesture exudes a natural imperial aura, his eyebrows are frowning, and it is hard to resist the wild charm
The second princess next to her was listening to the government behind the curtain. She was wearing a century-old phoenix court dress inlaid with thousands of five-color gems. The throne behind her was splendid. Nine soaring phoenixes were about to spread their wings and fly. On the left and right sides of her bun were inserted bright red peonies.
Then, in the center of the stable area, there is a hollow agate crown of Phoenix Flying Nine Heavens Ruyi, a golden phoenix inlaid with rubies, and on the left and right are agate and jade embellishments, echoing each other and shining brightly.
The eunuch on duty shouted as usual, "If there is something going on, please leave the court if there is nothing going on."
Li Dequan, the minister of the Ministry of War, said, "I have something to report. This morning's battle report from the front line shows that Baili Kuangsha has led an army of 100,000 to directly attack Jiangdu. Jiangdu is in danger."
After hearing this, the ministers were frightened and frightened, and kept their mouths as silent as cicadas. The whole court was eerily silent.
"Where is my loyal lord?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince arrived in Pengcheng just the day before yesterday."
"Why did it take so long? He left Juma City a month ago."
"Father, he didn't kill the bandits in Black Rock City. You also praised him for his merits in suppressing the bandits. Later, he launched a large-scale civil engineering project to manage Black Rock City and relieve the people of the city from suffering."
"I don't know the importance"
"Wei Chen also has something to say. After Prince Xu arrived in Pengcheng, he dismissed twelve Xuzhou military generals from their official positions at once, including Chief Shi Liu Linhua, Inspector Shi Murongbo, Sima Cao Yong and other generals."
"It's ridiculous to change generals on the battlefield. It's a taboo in the army. How did Xu Shengli raise such a son?"
"Comer"
"Father, please calm down. Now that it has happened, don't intervene rashly. It is most taboo for a king to intervene on the battlefield. If we change generals again, when the country is in danger, there may be many accidents."
"Order Xu Hanwen to guard Pengcheng and severely attack the invading enemies."
"Chen Yu Wenyu Wen Pingcheng has something to report. Annan Guozhu Guonang Wentian led an army of 100,000 people out of Chaohu Lake. They have conquered Hengjiang and the two cities of Chaoxian County and are approaching Hefei."
"Nangong Wentian, the number one general in Annan Kingdom, what should I do?"
The emperor stood up from the throne in horror,
"Father, don't panic. Uncle Yuwen has a clever plan."
"For the current plan, we can only lead a large army to rush to Hefei. I have already dispatched 20,000 cavalry from Jingzhou to rush to reinforcements. I hope that Your Majesty will mobilize the Imperial Guards to rush to reinforcements. This will ensure that Hefei is safe."
"According to what Ai Qing said"
"Report, great victory in Jiangdu"
"What are you yelling about? I'll kill you."
"Your Majesty, this is the Golden Feather Messenger"
"Quickly pass" the princess spoke
"The Great Victory in Jiangdu"
The golden feather messenger shouted again before entering the door,
"What did you say"
"Your Majesty, I am reporting a great victory in Jiangdu. Your Majesty defeated an army of 100,000 soldiers in a hundred miles of sand."
"Hahaha" His Majesty the Emperor laughed heartily,
"My good nephew, well done Xu Shengli, for giving birth to a good son."
"How can it be"
The ministers were surprised and discussed a lot
"Quiet"
"Speak clearly"
"Princess Qi, the Prince of Zhenbei defeated an army of 100,000 people in Kuangsha, a hundred miles away, beheaded more than 20,000 people, captured more than 20,000 people, and seized countless baggage."
“That’s true”
The emperor was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't believe it. He was still worried about him before, but he won the victory in just a few days.
"You will see it with your own eyes"
"Tell me what happened during the battle."
At this time, Jin Yuwei transformed into a storyteller and kept talking,
"The Crown Prince first led the cavalry to attack Yang Zhong. Ximen Chuyue, the defender of Yang Zhong, fled without fighting.
The prince captured Yangzhong and burned the southern warships on the riverside, and then commanded the cavalry to go north to Jiangdu. When Baili Kuangsha heard that Yangzhong had been defeated, the army was in chaos. At this time, General Yang Yanting led 30,000 Xuzhou troops and came to Jiangdu."
"good"
His Majesty the Emperor became his loyal audience and applauded him
"Baili Kuangsha was shocked when he heard that he led his army to flee westward. The army was in disarray. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the opportunity to lead the Taishan Army to attack. On the city tower, General Jiang also saw the opportunity and led the Jiangdu cavalry to rush out of the city. The three armies joined forces to attack. Baili Kuangsha
In the wild sand, he had no choice but to lead his army and hurriedly crossed the Hangou to escape. Countless people were trampled to death and drowned. After the enemy general crossed the river, he ordered the pontoon bridge to be burned down, ignoring the soldiers behind him.
The Southern soldiers jumped into Hangou. The prince could not bear to order those who surrendered to avoid death. Many Anan soldiers swam back.
Murong Yunhai, the rebel who was responsible for cutting off the rear, committed suicide. The prince made the five thousand Annan cavalry surrender without bloodshed. Now the prince is leading the army to cross the Hangou to chase Baili Kuangsha."
"Cai, Dacai, worthy of my country man"
The ministers also beamed with joy, "I didn't expect that the crown prince would be able to make a surprise attack hundreds of miles away, maneuver quickly, and attack from afar for several days."
"In just one day, the 100,000-strong army led by Baili Kuangsha suffered nearly half of the casualties. Wen'er is truly a god."
Suddenly the second princess's face changed drastically,
"No, the prince is leading an army to chase Baili Kuangsha. He doesn't know that Nangong Wentian is also leading an army of 100,000 people to land in Chaohu. If he rushes in, he may be ambushed and the whole army is in danger of being annihilated. Father, please send him immediately.
People went to reinforce him to prevent Hanwen from being surrounded."
"Commander of the Imperial Guard Wen Bucai, please quickly lead 30,000 Imperial Guard cavalry to the rescue, and order all the guards in Jingzhou to rescue the Crown Prince no matter what, no matter how high the cost, if they see the Crown Prince being surrounded."
"The general will obey his orders"
"Eight hundred miles urgent report, a letter from Prince Zhenbei,
"Send it up quickly"
"yes"
"read"
"Your Majesty, this letter is written by Your Majesty personally, and when the Crown Prince handed the letter to the last general, he told me not to leak the contents of the letter."
"Your Majesty is so bold that he dares to ask His Majesty to do it personally."
"Bring the letter here"
The second princess opened the letter, which detailed her plan to retreat from the enemy and the help she needed.
"Father, look"
The second princess delivered the letter to His Majesty,
"I see." After seeing Xu Hanwen's plan, His Majesty the Emperor became calm and confident.
"Wen Bucai, after all, after Hefei, you followed the arrangements of Prince Zhenbei. He has led 12,000 cavalry around Hefei. When you get there, fully cooperate with General Qin Ying."
"Follow your orders"
When the people of Chang'an heard that the crown prince had won another victory, they celebrated by beating gongs and drums, performing dragon and lion dances, and
Thousands of horses came to the river and vowed to annihilate and capture Chu. A million-strong army swallowed up Chu. Looking at the chasm in the distance, they threw themselves across the chasm. If they don’t believe in the Dragon King, they will believe in the Dragon Son.
I miss you but I don’t see you, and I am worried. But I can see you, and I am not afraid of high mountains and long roads, nor of fast rivers. I am happy to go there. Now I miss you and I am haggard. The bright moon is thousands of miles away and I miss you.
Zi Jing entered the room, "Madam, His Royal Highness just sent someone to deliver a message. The Crown Prince has conquered Yang Zhongcheng and defeated Baili Kuangsha. Madam, please rest assured."
"Where is brother Hanwen now?"
"Your Majesty, he is in Jiangdu City"
"Can we go find him now?"
"No, the Crown Prince has said that Madam cannot take risks or go out at will."
"If you want to go, just go and I'll take you there."
I heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door. A woman appeared outside. She was wearing a red and yellow gold and silver silk court dress with embroidered patterns of birds and phoenixes. There were large peonies embroidered on the sleeves. It was extremely bright and the skirt had a belt.
There is a robe, very long, with a silver phoenix pattern embroidered on the skirt. It is extremely gorgeous, and lotus flowers move into the room.
"Meet the Princess"
"The child greets his mother, rise up"
"I heard that some people miss my son. He doesn't want to eat or drink, and he is haggard. I just want to go and see my son. The mountains are high and the road is far, and the journey is difficult. I don't know if I want to go."
"My child is willing to go"
"Okay, you pack up and set off with the army immediately."
General Liu has already led the army to set off. Black Rock City only has the eldest princess’s 800 dragon snow cavalry army.
On the carriage, Tianjiao asked Ouyang Xue,
"Mother, why are you here?"
"Your father received news that Annan Guozhu and Nangong Wentian led an army of 100,000 to attack Hefei. He was afraid that Hanwen was in danger, so he sent a large army to reinforce him. I miss my son too. Go see him and know that you are here.
I'll pick you up by the way. I heard that you discovered a new type of coal here, and the amount of iron produced in one day is more than five times higher than before."
"Yes, mother, this is a kind of coal. It burns at extremely high temperatures and is very durable."
"No wonder a hundred sets of snake scale armor were made in such a short period of time. The red knife produced in the workshop is the bloody knife."
"Yes"
"Your father received the sword from Hanwen and couldn't put it down." This chapter has been completed!
