Chapter 171: The Beginning of the Great War

The queen is still very smart, her actions have indeed blocked a lot of disasters for her, and she has won the emperor's trust and reuse, and the queen's position is extremely stable. It's not that there are no concubines who want to pull the queen down, but they haven't succeeded, after all, the essence of the harem still depends on the emperor's intentions, and the emperor is the new queen, so the queen is naturally worry-free.

Chen Yu returned to the side hall of Yilan Palace, because Nangong never forced him to marry, so Chen Yu didn't want to be so troublesome, so he could only rely on it, after all, the emperor and himself had met twice, Chen Yu didn't believe how deep the emperor's feelings were for him, and Chen Yu had already collected his charm, so soon the emperor would forget about himself.

Chen Yu's inference is roughly not wrong, but Chen Yu underestimated Nangong Jue's possessiveness as a generation of emperors, and what he can't get is the best, Chen Yu has almost become Nangong Jue's obsession, no matter whether Nangong Jue is really in love with Chen Yu or not, he still likes Chen Yu very much, so it is impossible to forget jì, at least not before getting Chen Yu.

If according to Chen Yu's inference, Nangong absolutely has his own feelings faded, then the most likely thing is not that Chen Yu is safe and sound, but that he is facing the oppression of other palace concubines, and Nangong Jue loses patience and forcibly occupies it. Of course, it is not impossible to release Chen Yu, but the possibility is too small.

Of course, Chen Yu also knows that he is probably on the blacklist of the harem concubines now, as long as the rumors pass these days, I am afraid that it will be inevitable that palace concubines will come to bully Chen Yu, and the tricks in the secret cannot be used, so it is difficult to say that it is difficult to say in the open, after all, Chen Yu is just a palace maid. Although the emperor promised the other party the position of concubine, but who told her that she didn't know how to lift, then don't blame them.

However, they still knew that the gun shot the first bird, so no one would come until they figured out what the emperor meant, and Chen Yu also had a short time to rest.

In the border area, there have been several small battles with the army of Ziyao Kingdom, and both sides are very restrained and test the strength of both sides. The Huanyue Kingdom has been preparing to invade the surrounding countries since ten years ago. It can be said that it is well prepared, so even if the Huanyue Kingdom is fighting with the Qingxiao Kingdom, it can still free up its hands to start a war with the Ziyao Kingdom.

However, Ziyao Country is not weak, after all, Ziyao Country has been peaceful for so many years. It's going very well. The country is strong. Even if it didn't take as long as the Huanyue Kingdom to prepare, but a holy decree came down, and a million troops were levied. The background is there, and it is not so easy for the Huanyue Kingdom to defeat the Ziyao Kingdom.

Of course, the purpose of the Huanyue Kingdom was not Ziyao Country from the beginning, after all, among the four great powers, the strength of Ziyao Country can also be ranked first, coupled with the unique geographical location, there is no need to worry about besieging everywhere, fighting on the one hand, it is very advantageous.

The soldiers who came to the border of Ziyao Country did not really want to capture Ziyao Country, Huanyue Country did not have that ability, just to drag Ziyao Country and facilitate Huanyue Country to annex the surrounding small countries, and when those small countries were annexed, their strength increased, and then they came to deal with several big countries, from easy to difficult, step by step, Huanyue Kingdom's ambition is very big, and it is not without the intention of unifying the world.

However, these small countries are not so easy to destroy, not to mention that many small countries will join forces when facing war, and even take refuge in some big countries, so it is still a tough battle to be fought. However, if the Huanyue Kingdom has the upper hand in the battle with Ziyao Kingdom, then the Huanyue Kingdom will not give up such a good opportunity for Ziyao Kingdom to cede land and pay compensation.

A qiē is based on strength, evenly matched, naturally peaceful coexistence, if one party shows weakness, it will naturally be bullied. In the first few small battles of Tongguò, both sides have a little understanding of each other's combat effectiveness, and the soldiers of the Huanyue Kingdom are all veterans, not to mention the training for a long time, and they have all been baptized by war, so the level of combat effectiveness is higher.

The soldiers of Ziyao Country are all new recruits, and they have only been recruited for a year without training, which can be said to be a little worse than that of Huanyue Kingdom, but the strong men of Ziyao Country are strong and strong, so the two sides are almost evenly matched, and the commanders of both sides are also relatively restrained, waiting to seize each other's flaws and then capture them in one fell swoop.

However, the number of soldiers in Ziyao Country is more than that of Huanyue Country, after all, Huanyue Country fights on multiple fronts, and Ziyao Country only needs to face one country in Huanyue Country, in addition, Ziyao Country has many affiliated small countries, these countries can also provide some troops, and in addition, the area of Ziyao Country is larger than that of Huanyue Country, and it is also more rich, if you really fight, it will definitely not be Ziyao Country that loses.

Because the battle was not too fierce at this time, the more than 300,000 soldiers and horses trained by Nangong Luo were not put into the battlefield, and they were still training in place, Zi Yaoguo did not put all the soldiers and horses into the battlefield, after all, Zi Yaoguo's preparation was not sufficient, and there was no preparation for a full-scale war.

However, being able to obtain the most benefits at the minimum cost is what every country wants to see, so Nangong Jue feels that the time has not yet come, don't look at Nangong Jue's youth, Nangong Jue's ambition is not small, otherwise he would not have ruthlessly rectified the dynasty, after all, although Nangong Jue won a large number of promotions from his own people that time, but also lost a large number of officials, if it wasn't for seizing this opportunity to expand the territory, Nangong Jue would not have been so ruthless, and the means would not be so decisive.

The best time is when the Huanyue Kingdom and the Qingxiao Kingdom are both defeated, or when the Panlong Kingdom also marches in a big way, even if it wins now, it will be a heavy loss, it is not cost-effective, multi-country melee, you need to seize the opportunity and preserve your strength, although Ziyao Country has an advantageous geographical location, but you can't relax your vigilance because of this.

The border is not so much about fighting as about training troops on both sides, although it is cruel, but I have to say that the soldiers who survived from the battlefield are all elite.

Because of the war, the people on the border have been moved to the city, and there is no shortage of merchants in the border cities, who come to the border to make a war fortune, and in the border city, you can see the places where all kinds of goods and weapons are sold.

The imperial court did not explicitly prohibit it, after all, it was impossible to rebel with these weapons of these merchants, and the sale of these weapons to the army could also enhance the national strength, so everyone turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. (To be continued.) )
