She began to use the money to buy food everywhere.
It is impossible to say that there is no food in the country. It is just that it is hoarded in the hands of wealthy businessmen and powerful people. People who find it difficult to make a fortune exist in any era.
If Gu Mo wanted to buy grain from them, he could do it, as long as he could afford the high price they offered.
Gu Mo calculated and found that even if he used all of Li Yanxiu's rich family property to buy grain, he wouldn't be able to buy much, and it wouldn't be enough to support the army to return to the capital after defeating the real king's court.
At this time, Li Yanxiu wrote a letter saying that he would leave the matter to him.
Gu Mo didn't know how Li Yanxiu did it. Anyway, she only sent back less than one-third of the money to Li Yanxiu, and it didn't take long for a large amount of food to arrive.
With food in hand, the army made the enemy invincible and unstoppable.
Everyone thought that Gu Mo just wanted to fight back to the six counties. They didn't know that Gu Mo's goal was the real king's court. Moreover, Gu Mo also used his increasingly growing military power to control her in the attack.
News from the True King's Court.
Therefore, the Zhenguo East Route Army that was heading to the capital didn't know, and the Yuguo court didn't know either.
But it was impossible for Yingshan, who had been staring at Gu Mo, not to know the news.
There was some ambiguity between her and Bai Jiu. After Bai Jiu died, the ten golden immortals also blamed her. They blamed her for everyone's failure to become immortals and complained against her...
Her current situation is simply worse than when she was a mortal.
And the culprit of all this is Gu Mo. How can Yingshan not hate Gu Mo?
She hated Gu Mo so much now that she wanted to die.
Therefore, she told Guo Xianshi about Gu Mo's plan to attack the royal court. Guo Xianshi told the emperor and also told the emperor that Gu Mo was the daughter of the guilty minister Gu Cong.
Look, now she has taken it upon herself to fight against the real king's court. The emperor didn't even let her fight, so why should she fight?
The reason is very simple, because she is Gu Cong's daughter. She wants to avenge her father, so she supports her own troops, deliberately angers Zhenguo, and wants to lead Yuguo to destruction.
The only remedy now is to stop Gu Mo quickly before the East Route Army and the True King's Court find out. Gu Mo cannot be allowed to drag down the entire Yu Kingdom.
The emperor's way of dealing with Gu Mo was to directly issue an imperial edict, scolding Gu Mo for taking the initiative to attack the Zhen Kingdom, and then asking Gu Mo to commit suicide to apologize.
The emperor now felt that he could rest easy. If Gu Mo did not attack Zhen Wang's court, Yu Guo could still negotiate peace with the Eastern Route Army currently surrounding the capital city.
Didn't he just use this trick to kill Gu Cong? He was the emperor, supreme, and ordered Gu Mo to commit suicide, but Gu Mo still dared to live?
But the emperor had never calculated that his supreme imperial power was nothing to Gu Mo.
As soon as the imperial edict came into Gu Mo's hands, Gu Mo threw it into the fire without even looking at it.
The eunuchs who delivered the order were frightened, "You, you, you, you... are you planning to resist the order and disobey it?"
Gu Mo instead asked the eunuch who passed the order, "Where are the Zhenguo East Route Army fighting now?"
These words simply touched upon the sadness of the eunuch who delivered the order.
"The real army entered the capital a month ago."
It was easy for the real army to break into the capital. The emperor was frightened and kept sending envoys to demand peace. He made various concessions on the terms of the peace negotiation. In the end, not only did the real army have to pay the gold that can only be described in astronomical figures, but Yu Guo also took the initiative to donate it.
The craftsmen and engineers of Yuguo...
In short, they have to take away all kinds of talents from all walks of life. They also have to take away the royal family and ministers of Yuguo. This is completely emptying out the entire royal family of Yuguo.
In addition, women have also become the top priority of this peace agreement.
Because the amount of gold and silver was limited, the emperor ordered the entire city to search for it, but the amount did not reach the amount stipulated by the real army, so in the end he had to use women to pay off the debt.
At first, they were women from the clan, then they were the family members of ministers, and later, all the young women in the city were spared. They were forced to use their bodies to repay the debts of men.
Finally, the real army returned to their royal court with the gold and silver they obtained, the clan ministers, talents and women.
Some military generals felt aggrieved and wanted to intercept the real army. However, the emperor was afraid of angering the real army and asked the real army to fight back. He issued an order: "Those who are good at sending troops must follow the military law."
In this case, who would dare to stop it?
In the end, everyone just watched helplessly as the real army left the capital with countless baggage and embarked on the road home.
When word spread about such a cowardly and humiliating incident to the country, everyone was talking about how vigorous the defense of the capital was and how big a role the emperor played in it.
Everyone in the government and the public was singing praises for the emperor, but no one knew that in this battle to defend the capital, the real army only attacked the city gate twice symbolically. They did not suffer any losses. Yuguo opened the city gate first and took the initiative to send
Ten million taels of silver, millions of taels of gold, the women of the clan as hostages, and the cession of three northern towns...
It’s okay to hand over so many things and people, but in the end we have to send them home safely.
Is this a defensive war? This is the emperor and ministers shamelessly making peace with the real country in order to protect themselves. They have not suffered any losses, and those who bear the serious consequences are the working people at the bottom of the country.
But no one expected that the Zhen Army was sent away at such a high price, and just when they thought they could sit back and relax, the Zhen Army actually came back with a killing blow.
Because when Zhenjun walked halfway, he unexpectedly learned that Yuguo still had countless gold and silver. Thinking that Yuguo had sworn to tell them that there was no gold in the capital, Zhenjun felt that he had been deceived.
So, part of the real army escorted the gold and Yuguo hostages back to the royal court, while the other part turned back halfway and besieged the capital, scaring the emperor half to death.
The emperor was so desperate. He felt that there was no emperor more aggrieved than him in the world. He walked on the edge of a knife every day.
This emperor, he is no longer worthy!
So Huizong hurriedly gave way to the crown prince, and took a boat with a group of veterans to go to the south of the Yangtze River. He planned to be his supreme emperor in the south of the Yangtze River in peace and contentment. He would engage in art and alchemy when he had nothing to do.
They were all handed over to the new emperor Qingzong.
Qingzong was as courageous as his father. He also wanted to negotiate peace when facing the returning true army.
Anyway, he doesn't want to use force if things can be solved with money and people.
While the two sides were discussing the terms of peace, the news that Zhen Fengshu was killed and the West Route Army collapsed reached the ears of the East Route Army.
The person leading the Eastern Route Army was Anasi, the second son of the Zhenguo Emperor.
When Anas heard the bad news, he was very angry. His attitude suddenly hardened and he told Qingzong clearly that if he wanted to negotiate a peace, he had to take Gu Mo's head.
