Since Ruo Ao Yuejiao came to power, the major courtiers and nobles in the city have been monitored by him, and the ministers have been cut down at every turn, and the three clans have been razed, precisely because of Yuejiao's thunderous means of "if you don't surrender, I will kill", suppressed the will to resist up and down Yingdu, and made his army and the puppet court in the shortest possible time, temporarily got a stable guarantee, and he alone held the military and political power, commanded hundreds of officials, and no one in the country dared to oppose it.

Under such an authoritarian centralized hegemony, if Ao Yuejiao personally led an army of 30,000 people, but was defeated by 3,000 Huang Yuwei, defeated the eastern suburbs, and burned the eastern suburbs in a hurry, it was undoubtedly a major event worth cheering and celebrating for the courtiers who secretly did not like Yuejiao.

In Li's mansion, Wang Yin and Li Lao closed the doors and windows, retreated left and right, couldn't help but raise their chopsticks to celebrate, and clapped their hands and praised, "It's really happy!"

"The 30,000-strong army was defeated by 3,000 armor soldiers!"

"This is the most exciting news I've heard in so many days!"

Zhao Hou took the first-hand information on the surprise attack in the eastern suburbs that Li Lao had collected from various channels, his hands trembled slightly, but he praised excitedly again and again, "It's really amazing!"

"No one has ever been able to defeat an army of 30,000 undefeated with 3,000, ten times the number of people, and still be able to retreat with their whole body!"

"Cleaning up the battlefield, there are only five hundred corpses of the Phoenix Feather Guard, but the corpses of five thousand wolf troops are left, although it is only a counterattack, but what kind of brilliant record is this!"

Zhao Hou asked Li Lao excitedly, "Li Lao, have you come up with it? I still can't figure it out, without anyone knowing, and no one to respond or support, how did she escape from the encirclement of Yuejiao in the Chu Palace, fled to the eastern suburbs, and rushed out of the encirclement of Yuejiao again!"

"Zhao Hou, don't get excited!"

Li Lao smiled and suppressed his excited voice, "Actually, it's nothing...... In that year, King Wu of Zhou led an alliance of 800 princes, defeated the Shang army in the Battle of Muye, set the Central Plains in the north, overthrew the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty, which was a battle to win more with less. ”

"Father, there's nothing yet?"

"You must know that the horse fought the Jin, Song, Chen, and Wei Four-Kingdom Coalition Army this time, with 160,000 troops against 150,000 coalition troops, and brought all kinds of the best materials in the country, it can be said that this battle is well prepared, and there are only more and no less, Sun Hou's Iron Guard has not yet moved, if it moves, it is itself to fight more and less. ”

"Virtuous nephew, you don't understand!"

"The situation of this battle is different from that of Tainu Yuejiao, and it is also different from the battle of King Wu of Zhou, in order to understand the siege of Zheng State, my country is facing the war of the four countries at the same time, so many people are needed, and there are fewer people, and it is impossible to complete the division of troops and the tactics of each defeat!"

Zhao Hou was born in the army, and he knew the importance of numbers in the war best, but he couldn't think of how the Huang Huang and the others broke out of the encirclement several times, "But the princess's personal soldiers, the Phoenix Yuwei only had 5,000 people, and 1,500 people disappeared when the palace changed, and 3,500 were surrounded by 3,000, how did they fight?"

Old Li also took a deep breath, looked at every piece of information repeatedly, and wanted to analyze how the battle was retreated, but he was also puzzled, "That's right, how did you make the 30,000 army led by Ruo Ao Yuejiao suffer heavy losses?"

"I don't know!"

The ministers shook their heads.

Everyone couldn't believe that even Ling Yin hadn't escaped a catastrophe, how a woman broke through Yue Jiao's encirclement and interception again and again, and also hit the wolf army hard.

A courtier said, "I heard that there are people in the city who are now privately praising the princess, and it will be after King Wen of Wu, I will be the king of Dachu and the king of the world!"

"The king of the world!"

"Oh, that's a compliment!"

The corners of Li Lao's mouth turned up when he heard this, although he felt that everyone's statement was a bit exaggerated, but it was also powerful to make Yue Jiao suffer a big loss!

After a long time, he pressed his big hand on these pieces of information, and said, "However, although Yuejiao was defeated and did not catch the princess, but the eastern suburbs were burned, and there was no surplus grain for the winter, which is a bad thing for us......"

"Coupled with the fact that Yue Jiao has just reinstated the old Situ who is going to be exiled for thousands of miles, I'm very worried!"

Speaking of this, Li Lao looked at everyone and said solemnly, "As an old minister of the Three Dynasties, Lao Situ has huge energy and ability, and he knows a lot of things up and down in my Chu State, as well as various materials. ”

"Yes, now that his only son is newly mourned, he will definitely take revenge!"

Wang Yin frowned and said, telling Lao Situ that he had just been released from prison, and that he and the other courtiers wanted to win him over, but he rejected them all.

"Lao Situ even said to us, saying that I Da Chu blindly punished the law, and he has no one to send him to the end, whether Yue Jiao wins or loses, what is he doing?"

"He only needs the princess and the entire Chu State to accompany Situ Nan to the funeral!"

Wang Yin thought of the cruel words released by Lao Situ, and intuitively felt that something was wrong.

"That's a bad thing!"

Zhao Hou frowned when he heard this, and looked at this information again, he was not as confident as he was at the beginning.

Hearing this, Li Lao analyzed to everyone, "In a sense, if Ao Yuejiao recovers Lao Situ from the prison as soon as possible after the defeat, it is really a good move. ”

"Now he has Lao Situ in him Zhang Luo, and there are Ruo Ao Zike, Liu Yi, Lu first-class generals, but they are on a par with the princess and the princess. ”

"It's just that Lao Situ is vengeful, and I'm afraid that it will cause resentment among the people; if Ao Zike is cunning and cunning, I'm afraid he won't be easily handled. ”

According to the first idea of the horse, Phoenix Mountain City was built as a companion capital, and Yingdu was the horn of each other, and responded to each other, but Yuejiao was in chaos, forcing the two Ruoao people who originally responded to Yingdu back to Phoenix Mountain, and the horn of the horn has been broken. ”

"Now Yuejiao implements the policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness to the outside world, it must be to stick to Yingdu, wait for the return of the princess, and fight to the death, but Yingdu is the national capital, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that it is enough for Yuejiao to support for half a year. ”

Even though Li Lao and the others had already guessed that Yue Jiao would inevitably make a big move when he revived the old Situ, they didn't expect it to come so quickly!

He put Lao Situ on the front foot, and held a court meeting on the back foot.

Discuss the matter of preparing for this war.

Above the court, most of them are now some new faces who have been promoted from the army, and they are absolutely obedient to Yuejiao, while some familiar faces are all bowing their heads, and no one refutes what Yuejiao says.

Among all the people, there was an old man with white hair and white mourning clothes, his eyes were red, staring closely at the top of the ninth-level jade steps, his expression was crazy, and he listened to the man in a military uniform sitting on it.

"From now on, Situ will levy 50,000 conscripts in the city, dig deep moats, heighten and strengthen the city walls, set traps all over, resist horses, spurs, repair weapons, prepare sufficient food and grass, be responsible for all logistics and war preparations, consolidate the royal city of Yingdu, and be sure to achieve solid preparations. Yingdu has entered a wartime state and is ready for a big war at any time......"

"Lord Ling Yin, needless to say, the old man has been the Situ of the Three Dynasties, and he has been responsible for the logistics preparation of countless wars, so he knows what to do!"

"I have only one request, all the government affairs inside and outside Yingdu, as long as the government affairs, everyone must listen to the old man's orders, including Ling Yin!"

Lao Sijie, who was dressed in mourning clothes and had white hair on his head, and swore to fight Mingzhi to the death with a white scarf, said categorically, raised his hand to interrupt Yue Jiao's order, and said, The previous surprise attack in the eastern suburbs was just a foolish little fight in Lao Situ's opinion.

Yue Jiao didn't refuse, and he didn't even ask for a military order, so he agreed, "Okay!

"Come on, the will!"

The civil officials on the left and right frowned at each other when they heard the words, wrote the decree according to the words, and issued the edict up and down.

"Then as long as the princess doesn't go north for a day, and Panhuan is near Yingdu, within a month, Lord Yin will wait for the death of the princess and the Cheng clan's Pan clan's rebel party!"

When the words fell, all the old ministers saw the old Situ in his robe, and without waiting for Yue Jiao to announce his next dynasty, he came out first and ended the court meeting.

For a time, Chu finally entered a wartime state.

When Wang Yin Zhaohou and others heard the news, their faces were panicked, the war happened more quickly than they expected, and some old ministers of the DPRK and China even looked at the sky of Dachu at the first time they heard the news, as if the thick clouds of war were thick, and they held their dizzy foreheads and sobbed, "There has been no civil war in my Great Chu for three hundred years, and King Wu and Ruo Ao have made an alliance together, and now it is really the day when it is divided into two!"

"First king, great king!"

"Did you see it in the sky?"

At this time, the eyes of all the ancestors of the eighth king of Great Chu had been closed, and they could not see this most chilling cold wind blowing across the entire Great Chu, which made the south move from late autumn to winter, and involved everyone up and down the Great Chu in the center of this political struggle blizzard.

Li Lao's eyes were slightly downcast, standing on the floor of the Zhu Palace and looking at the war-torn Yingdu, he tightened his body and said, "My Da Chu's sky is finally going to change!"

"They...... When will you return?"

In the city of Yingdu, the people all knew that as the princess tore a gap in the 30,000 wolf army of Ruoao Yuejiao and fled, the wars in Chu would inevitably become more and more frequent, and the news of the turmoil in the following subject countries finally came one after another.

This war between the Chu clan and the Ruo Ao clan, which lasted for three hundred years, was fought in the dark.

Because King Wu of Chu did not swallow the entire Ruo Ao clan in one fell swoop, and even had to compromise to share the eighth generation of the Chu State with him, and it was impossible for the princess to destroy this huge family through this battle, it would either seem that Ruo Ao Yuejiao was too incompetent, or that the accumulation of Ruo Ao in the Chu State for three hundred years was just a joke.

The eastern suburbs were burned, and under the shroud of the war, the grain of Yingdu was frantically requisitioned by Lao Situ on the one hand, and was controlled by the major clans on the other, and the grain of all grain merchants was requisitioned without compensation.

This big war, no one knows how long it will last.

Both the people and the nobles in the city were extremely panicked, and Lao Situ even suggested that Yue Jiao, in addition to receiving excess food with military industry, would not issue any excess food or even give it to the courtiers, until the end of the war, Yue Jiao readily agreed.

As a result, in addition to the army, the food in the city became less and less, and the lives of the nobles of the major families began to become poor, even to the point of reducing the number of slaves to live.

The waves of the river are stormy and snowy.

It was dark at night outside the city of Yingdu.

When people meet, they ask when they will return!

Heavy snow is falling
