Chapter 380: Stalemate

Su Zixu slowly put away the smile on his face and said lightly: "The concubine doesn't know." ”

"Sit down." Su Zixu sat next to Emperor Yan when he heard this, sat quietly, and didn't say a word, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.

Bad faces, that's just what I said. She knows the grievances between Mo Xuanlin and Emperor Yan best. Now that I think about it, it was really a long time ago, so long ago that she forgot about it.

That sentence: You are destined to be mine. The evil smile of the emperor came to mind, and the tone of imperative still lingered in his ears.

She couldn't figure out whether his words were true or false, but the emperor's feelings could never be trusted, they were just trophies in their hands.

The war became more and more intense, and one letter after another reached the hands of Emperor Yan, who was completely furious and sent troops to meet him.

After five days of fighting, Nanfeng Guo was unprepared, was caught off guard, retreated one after another, lost the first battle, Mo Yanguo pressed forward step by step, and Nanfeng suffered heavy losses.

After another five days of fighting, the two countries were evenly matched, and Emperor Yan issued a warning, but Mo Yanguo not only did not agree to withdraw his troops, but became more and more arrogant.

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to go on the expedition." In the main hall, Ye Lan arched his hand and said categorically.

Emperor Yan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "No need for the time being. ”

Mo Yanguo was menacing, but he didn't want to really go to war, he just forced him. He won't compromise on this matter. Now it's a matter of time, and if they don't have patience, they should retreat.

Emperor Yan waved his hand, wrote down a holy decree, and instructed: "Furen, send my holy decree out, if Mo Yanguo commits it again, he will not be spared." ”

Emperor Yan instructed: "Ye Lan, you have to strengthen the guards in the palace in the near future, and you can't let the people of Mo Yan Kingdom take advantage of the situation. ”

"Yes." Ye Lan replied.

……

"How's the battle going now?" Su Zixu asked.

"According to our people, the two sides have been at a stalemate in Shuangliangguan for two days." Liuli responded.

Hit the double cool off? Su Zixu frowned. Even if Nanfeng Guo was not prepared, it was impossible for him to be forced to retreat to Shuangliangguan so quickly. How many troops did Mo Yanguo send to fight so fast.

Mo Xuanlin, what do you want to do? What deal does he want to make with Emperor Yan, is it really for Concubine Shen?

If Mo Xuanlin insisted on taking away Concubine Shen, would Emperor Yan agree? Are you willing to send Concubine Shen to Mo Yan Kingdom, or send troops to repel them?

……

"Your Majesty, Mo Yanguo sent troops to fight regardless of the agreement of the year, it was too deceitful, and Weichen suggested sending troops to meet it."

"Please send troops to greet the emperor." The ministers below all stood up and said in support.

Everyone still remembers that after two years of fighting, the people were struggling to make a living, and finally truce the war and make peace, since Mo Yanguo did not abide by the agreement, don't blame them for tearing their faces.

It was the first time that Emperor Yan saw that all the ministers had such a unified opinion, so he was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This matter will be discussed later,"

"Your Majesty." When those ministers saw Emperor Yan gone, they looked at each other and were puzzled.

What's wrong with the emperor, why is Mo Yanguo unwilling to send troops to greet him?

……

"Niangniang, lunch is coming, you can eat it quickly." Wan'er said softly.

Concubine Shen sat at the table supporting her chin, her eyes were empty and confused, like the cold wind outside the courtyard, bleak and cold.

"Mother." Wan'er called again, lowered her head and sighed. The mother hasn't eaten for a day, how can she continue like this?

Since that night, Niangniang got drunk and went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to make a fuss, and three days after she came back, she fell ill at both ends. She couldn't listen to what she said, so she could only be anxious on the sidelines.

Concubine Shen sat there stiffly, and said in a casual tone, "Bring the lunch." ”

She gulped down her meal, no matter what was in the bowl, and shoved it into her mouth.

Wan'er hurriedly poured her a glass of water and said worriedly: "Niangniang, you eat slowly." ”

Concubine Shen turned a deaf ear and continued to gobble up. Wan'er was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the side, feeling distressed, Niangniang had really changed, and she didn't know her. All of this is because of the woman named Concubine Su, if it weren't for her, Niangniang wouldn't be like this.

Thinking of this, Guan'er's eyes flashed fiercely.

Concubine Shen put the bowl down and continued to look out the window in a daze. Clenched fists, she, doesn't want to be someone else's substitute!

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is here." Furen replied.

"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is auspicious." Concubine Shen walked in gracefully and said blessedly.

Her face was ruddy and her smile was bright, and the sick look she had lost a few days before.

Emperor Yan was stunned, and Concubine Shen had already walked in front of him. She knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine lost her manners a few days ago, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

Emperor Yan replied lightly: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be polite, get up." ”

Concubine Shen didn't get up, and said with teary eyes: "I heard that the concubine said some nonsense a few days ago, although the concubine doesn't remember what happened that night and what she said, but it must make the emperor angry, the concubine is imposing in front of the emperor today, and she will not do it again in the future." ”

Concubine Shen lowered her head, and as she spoke, tears flowed down her face, looking like I was pitiful.

Can't remember what you said?

Emperor Yan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then stood up, took her hand, and said softly as always: "Get up, I didn't take it to heart." ”

Seeing that it was almost over, Concubine Shen raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The two of them sat in the room and chatted for a while as if nothing had happened.

Although Emperor Yan looked at her with a smile, his thoughts drifted away.

……

"Report, Your Majesty, Shuangliang Pass has been taken by Mo Yanguo, and Mo Yanguo sent 100,000 troops to rush south." The messenger hurried into the temple and replied.

Emperor Yan slapped his big hand, and all the ministers in the palace knelt down and said in unison: "The emperor is angry." ”

Emperor Yan groaned for a while, his eyes were cold. He glanced around the hall a few times, and his eyes gradually sank.

"Your Majesty, send troops." Prime Minister Yuan said.

The ministers below echoed one after another: "Your Majesty, send troops." ”

The national strength of Nanfeng is not weak, and after three years of recuperation, the national strength is not the same as in the past. Now that Mo Yanguo is heading south, they will never back down.

Emperor Yan commanded: "Ye Lan listens to the order. ”

Ye Lan walked out and arched his hand: "Weichen listens to the order." ”

"I have made you the general of the enemy, and I will set off tomorrow to lead the troops to resist the enemy."

"Yes."

"The emperor is wise." The minister's voice resounded through the hall.

……

"Liuli, it's spring." Su Zixu opened his lips and said softly. Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, winter has passed, and everything is revived.

The two armies were in a stalemate at Fengyiguan for a month, without any progress, Mo Yanguo did not take advantage of it at all, and Nanfeng Guo failed to repel them, suffering heavy casualties.

"Niangniang, General Ye has been sending troops to fight for a month, and I don't know when I will be able to defeat the soldiers of Mo Yanguo."
