The difficulty of traveling, in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, could not be rushed.

The army goes out, there is grain and grass in front, there are soldiers in the back, the team is huge, stop and go, stop and go, and have to resist the weather, be careful of ambushes, it is not easy.

According to calculations, it will be the end of June when Liu Shouye and the others arrive at the border pass, which is half a month later.

Wu Yunzhao said: "Yes, the big disadvantage of the place is here." The emperor is far away, and it is not easy to take care of. Looking to the northeast, the sound of pounding clothes in the city reached the ears, as if they had become horse neighing, and I don't know how many people had sent away the pillars of their homes, and I didn't know how many people could come back in the end.

Wu Yunzhao felt something, and couldn't help but groan: "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people have come back to fight in ancient times?" ”

This Wang Han's "Liangzhou Ci" is not available here, Xiaoshun only felt that the momentum was extraordinary, and praised: "Niangniang, your poem is really good!" I thought it was Wu Yunzhao who came up with it himself.

Wu Yunzhao said with a smile: "This palace has never been on the battlefield, so I can't write such a poem." Thinking that the history here was different from other places, he said, "This is what I saw when I was looking through the documents by chance, and I thought it was very pleasant, so I wrote it down." ”

Xiao Shun said: "This is written about the battlefield!" It's commensurate with the current situation, that is, the omen is not very good, Niangniang, don't pronounce it elsewhere, those adults are afraid that they will be picky. ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "If they like to pick, they can pick it, can this palace still control their mouths?" Even if you don't talk about it in front of this palace, you may not be able to say something ugly behind your back. Let's just say that today, the palace is listening to the government, and there are a few ministers below who have good faces, but because of the majesty of His Majesty, they are not embarrassed by the palace. ”

Someone said: "Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart, just get used to it." The man added: "I can bear as much praise as I can resist slander." ”

It is far better to prove yourself to others than to prove yourself to yourself!

In the face of gossip, the most beautiful counterattack is not to take it seriously, laugh it off, and strive to live a better life!

Xiao Shun said: "Your Majesty is really protecting Niangniang!" ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded, and said in his heart: "The little emperor has affection for me, I saved his life, it can be regarded as righteous to him, and it is evened!" ”

Xiaoshun asked: "Niangniang, the slave reads little, you explain, explain, what does this poem mean?" Let the minions learn. ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Okay, it's okay left and right, I'll talk to you more." Let's go down first, go back to the Lizheng Palace, talk while walking, after a busy day, we have to change our clothes. ”

The next day, after the court meeting, Wu Yunzhao first went to the Queen Mother to explain the reason, and then went to visit Xiong Yan, and then entered the imperial study, and corrected the folds in a bright and bright manner.

So peacefully, three days passed in a busy and orderly manner.

Early this morning, Wu Yunzhao was still grooming, and suddenly an urgent report came, the Sunset Kingdom began to attack, and the army of Chu State had not yet arrived, and the border pass was in an emergency!

Wu Yunzhao took a heavy breath and immediately rushed to the Taiji Hall to preside over the court meeting.

There were not many military generals in the court, and a group of civil officials were chattering and chattering.

Wu Yunzhao sat behind the bead curtain, feeling that his eardrums were about to be worn out, and said in his heart: "A bunch of useless wastes will talk on paper, and they have the ability to kill the enemy on the battlefield!" ”

However, civil official habits are like this, and broken mouths are not the exclusive preserve of women, and if men talk about things under the guise of business, the time will definitely not be short, and it is better than a woman with a long tongue.

Wu Yunzhao said in a low voice: "Xiaoshun, do you have an idea?" ”

Xiao Shun said: "The slave doesn't understand anything, where do you have any ideas?" Niang Niang Mo teased. ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "If the palace asks you to say it, you can say it." ”

Xiaoshun scratched his head, looked at the ministers who were arguing and shouting endlessly, and said in his heart: "Anyway, they can't listen to what I say, so let's say it, even if it's wrong, Niangniang won't blame me." After thinking about it, he said: "Niangniang, the slave doesn't understand anything else, but he also knows that the border pass is far away, and the news is coming, but he can't do anything, the army has only set off for three days, and the halfway road has not been completed, so I can't pray to God to change General Liu to the border pass." The minion felt that he could only wait. ”

Wu Yunzhao smiled: "You are much smarter than these ministers, yes, the whip is beyond reach, and the border is chaotic, I am waiting in the capital, except for the battle of words, can we really get a hand?" The army will not be able to reach for a day, so it can only wait. ”

The Sunset Country is prepared, Da Chu is facing difficulties, and the initial advantage and initiative are naturally in the hands of the other party. The outcome of this battle can only be seen in the coming days. Right now, the only way to do it is to be in a hurry.

As expected, the ministers were foaming at the mouth, arguing with each other for a long time, and they could not offer good prescriptions and good strategies, and the court could not discuss it.

Two days later, the enemy army broke through the border pass and invaded Chu.

After another three days, the two cities of Dachu fell, and the officers and soldiers defending the city fought hard and resisted hard, but it was difficult to stop the enemy army from menacing, and Liu Shouye's army was still a hundred miles away from the enemy.

After another seven days, Da Chu lost three more cities, and Liu Shouye's army was still twenty miles away from the enemy.

Wu Yunzhao read the urgent report, frowned deeply, and handed it to Xiaoshun for the ministers to see.

When everyone saw it, they were worried.
