Chapter 233: Interests come first

The news of Mu Ronglan's return to the government suddenly spread all over the world, and at the same time, Murong Ye was also cut off his title and confined in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

The first thing Mu Ronglan did to regain power was to increase the number of troops in Gucheng by 300,000, solve the crisis between Gucheng and Xincheng, and at the same time recover several cities that were invaded by the Northern King one after another.

The army of the Northern King, which was originally imposing, immediately fled for thousands of miles and retreated to the southern city like a tide.

The morale of the Chu army soared, and Qin Yun led an army of 500,000 to press forward step by step, until Lingnan, facing Nancheng across the city.

From the day the northern army retreated to the southern city, Li Yu ordered that the whole army should not be closed in the city, Qin Yun led the troops to call for war many times, and the strong attack was also returned many times, so he had no choice but to retreat to Lingnan and act at the opportunity.

On the other hand, when Murong Feiyu's reinforcements from Changcheng arrived, he returned to Chujing under the summons of Murong Ronglan, and Hot Springs led 200,000 to Xinyang, firmly guarding the rear of the border of the Three Kingdoms.

He Qizheng and He Sheng led an army of 300,000 to go straight to Qishan, the old nest of the king of the south, at this time the king of the south lost a million troops, and lost his son, just like a tiger with a tooth extracted, He Qizheng and He Sheng did not encounter much resistance along the way, and regained all the lost territory smoothly, and finally broke through the last line of defense of Qishan, the family of the king of the south was captured, and the rebellion of the king of the south was completely quelled.

The mess in the Great Chu was cleaned up one by one, but the Three Kingdoms made waves again.

Under the obstruction of the northern Xinjiang, the Dongshu army missed the best opportunity to capture the Great Chu, and now, the civil strife in the Great Chu is only one northern king, the momentum of the Chu army is like a rainbow, if he insists on the original intention, he will definitely be bitten back by the Great Chu, and the annoyed Ouyang Zhongyi turned his attention to the northern Xinjiang.

The border with the northern Xinjiang was frequently provoked by the Dongshu army, and finally, after countless temptations, the Dongshu army stepped through the border city, surrounded from three sides, and rushed to the northern capital.

Ouyang Zhongyi's name as a young god of war is not in vain, he led 500,000 people to conquer the northern frontier, invincible all the way, forcing the 500,000 army to retreat all the way.

As soon as the war began, the army of Northern Xinjiang showed a trend of rout, and the army of Dongshu was like a rainbow, capturing five cities along the way.

Until it arrived at the moat and Yangling in northern Xinjiang.

In the past few days, the northern army has closed the city, and Dongshu has eaten a few closed soups one after another, and the generals of Dongshu, who were carried away by victory, finally regained their senses.

Only then did they realize that they had gone all the way too smoothly, no, it should be said that the five cities in their hands seemed to be deliberately sent to them by Northern Xinjiang, and anxiety and uneasiness permeated their hearts, and they subconsciously cast their eyes on Ouyang Zhongyi, who had a gloomy face.

Ouyang Zhongyi naturally noticed everyone's gaze, in fact, he also felt this way, but as the monarch of a country, he knew what the territory meant to the emperor of a country, and he really couldn't understand what reason Duanmu Chenxuan wanted to give the city to himself.

And even if it's a ploy, how can you keep away what you send to your mouth.

While thinking about it, a soldier came to say goodbye.

What's the news at this time? Ouyang Zhongyi was silent for a while, and then waved his hand to let people in.

"Emperor Qiqi, the 500,000 troops of Western Liang, captured three cities bordering northern Xinjiang. In addition, the army of Great Chu Xinyang also moved, and it seemed that they also wanted to go north. Said the person who delivered the message.

"What?" The one who spoke was a general under Ouyang Zhongyi, he was a powerful man, and he was not very good at strategy, but he only had one feeling at the moment, that is, Xiliang wanted to grab the territory of Northern Xinjiang with Dongshu.

"Your Majesty, does this Xiliang Dachu also want to intervene?"

"This Xiliang is also a villain, our Dongshu is in front of the road, but they are picking up ready-made ones in the back, which is really insidious."

"However, aren't these Western Liang and Northern Xinjiang allies?" At this time, an adjutant general asked suspiciously.

Everyone was stunned, and then the big man just now sneered: "What Allied country? Bah? It's not all the excuses of those literati to deceive people, at this time, seeing that our Dongshu army easily occupied the cities in northern Xinjiang, they were anxious, afraid that they would be robbed after the territory, so they hurried to grab it with us. ”

"That makes sense." As soon as these words fell, everyone was full of agreement, in this era, interests are paramount, and there is no true friendship between countries.

Ouyang Zhongyi didn't speak, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember where it was, sure enough, he had dealt with state affairs for too long in the past few years, and his ability to march and fight had deteriorated?

In the end, there was no discussion, and the result came out, and the group dispersed.

And two days later, the Western Liang once again captured the city in the northern Xinjiang, as the previous general said, as if he couldn't wait to grab the territory, just two days, he captured three cities one after another, they only took five days to occupy the number of cities in Dongshu It took nearly a month to occupy the number of cities, which made the Dongshu army grit their teeth angrily, while secretly scolding the Northern Xinjiang army for being useless, and secretly scolding the Western Liang army for being treacherous.

At the same time, the Taishou Hot Springs of the State of Chu led 200,000 troops straight up, and occupied two cities along the way.

Rao is Three Kingdoms sent troops into Northern Xinjiang at the same time, but Duanmu Chenxuan, who was in power, still lived his life as if he was nothing.

Every day, the court in northern Xinjiang quarreled with the pot, but at this time, the person in power who should have been the most angry seemed the most calm, and always spoke out to comfort the upset courtiers.

This made the ministers both angry and speechless.

At this time, everyone was nostalgic for the omnipotent princess, but unfortunately, she had already married Da Chu.

Thinking of the villain who kidnapped the princess, they all gritted their teeth with hatred.

But no matter how angry they are, the results of the facts are already in front of them, and no amount of unwillingness can only turn into helplessness.

After a few more days, in addition to the Dongshu army blocked in Yangling, the army of Xinyang and the army of Xiliang had regained several cities, and their marching routes were gradually getting closer and closer to the Dongshu army.

At this time, Ouyang Zhongyi compared their marching routes over and over again, and after looking at the layout of Yangling and its surroundings, he finally realized what his previous uneasiness was.

After comparing all the positions, he was surprised by what he had in mind, and without objection, he immediately summoned his henchmen to discuss it.

Seeing that several people had arrived, Ouyang Zhongyi's brows furrowed tightly, which made several people have a bad premonition.

"You have the whereabouts of King Yi." Ouyang Zhongyi said in a deep voice.

"King Yi?" Everyone glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts, now that they are in the northern Xinjiang, why should they pay attention to the whereabouts of King Da Chuyi.

As soon as he saw everyone's expressions, Ouyang Zhongyi knew in his heart that they had been ignoring the whereabouts of an important person.

"Immediately send someone to find out the whereabouts of King Yi, as well as the princess of the northern frontier."
