Gu Xiqian and Mo Xun couldn't help but feel a little sad when they saw him like this, but what he said inspired them even more.

"You're right, we can't rely on those few people to make a war, and we won't necessarily lose." Gu Xiqian said.

Two days later, Mo Xuanyin regained his strength, assigned them new tactics, and immediately went into battle.

On the other hand, Makikawa's people received reinforcements from the capital, and it was time for Makikawa to give them the last battle in the next year.

"Guys, this is the tactic I thought of, first of all, we..."

When they had heard this, they went down to prepare.

Zhen Qingyun was a little puzzled: "If you succeed, why don't you continue to pursue?" ”

"It's almost the end of the year, and it can be regarded as a good rest for the soldiers, and now I just want to make the record of the end of the year look better." Makikawa explained.

Then the army set out and went straight to the city where the coalition army was located.

Looking at the tide of enemies below, Mo Xuanyin was a little worried, because the gap in the city wall had not been repaired earlier, and the other party could still take advantage of this opportunity to attack it.

"Everyone, prepare for the wooden cannon stones!" Mo Xuanyin said.

However, the South Vietnamese soldiers below did not seem to have any intention of attacking the city, but simply surrounded the city.

"Strange? What are they trying to do? Mo Xun looked at them and said.

"I think they must have wanted to fence the city and wait for us to be trapped inside." Gu Xiqian analyzed.

Mo Xuanyin, on the other hand, had a different opinion, and immediately sent someone to repair the gap in the city wall when the other party had not yet attacked.

After a while, I saw that Zhen Qingyun was a little impatient, and immediately commanded his subordinates to start attacking.

When he arrived, soldiers from all directions poured in, and the coalition forces were tired of coping, and the other party even rushed to the gap, but fortunately, Mo Xuanyin had already had a way.

"Come on, get on the oil!" Mo Xuanyin said.

I saw that there was a gap, the soldiers were ready to pour the boiling oil, only to see the enemy see the boiling oil spilled, "bang", several soldiers who tried to break through were immediately burned, and the gap began to become slippery, and the soldiers who were wearing armor and were inconvenient to move had no way to climb up.

Seeing that the problem of the gap was temporarily solved, Mo Xuanyin was also relieved, and watched the enemy begin to shift the target, so he went down the city wall and prepared for the cavalry charge.

And Mu Chuan and the others, who were watching from a distance, watched the boiling oil spill on the gap in the city wall, and immediately gave up, and shifted to the usual siege method, and the battering ram continued to attack the city gate.

Two quarters of an hour later, Mo Xuanyin had already assembled the cavalry, looking at the city gate that was about to be broken, Mo Xuanyin waited for this opportunity.

"Boom!"

"Everyone, charge!" Mo Xuanyin drew his sword.

The battering ram retreated, and the soldiers began to swarm up, but what was coming was Mo Xuanyin's cavalry attack.

"Whoa!"

The charge of the cavalry pushed back the soldiers who entered the door, and Mo Xuanyin took the lead, killing the soldiers of Nanyue by himself.

"Everyone, cover the cavalry downstairs!" Mo Xun said.

For a while, arrows rained down, and all the future offenders were repulsed, and even the ladder was knocked down, and the people of the South Vietnamese Kingdom lost their chance.

"Damn, retreat!" Makikawa said.

"Uhhhhhh

The horn sounded, and the soldiers retreated one after another, and this battle announced the victory of the coalition forces.

In the evening, the crowd began to celebrate, because this time, the coalition forces inflicted heavy losses on nearly 10,000 soldiers of the South Vietnamese country.

"I really didn't expect that they would really attack it, but fortunately, they used cavalry to press back in the end, otherwise, the consequences would be serious." Mo Xun sighed.

"But now is not the time to be happy, the city gate of the north gate is broken, which means that this is also one of their purposes, but Mu Chuan thinks that since the fight has started, it will naturally cause us some losses, if we fight again next time, we will not be so lucky." Mo Xuanyin said.

"You mean? This was originally Makikawa's purpose? Gu Xiqian said.

I saw Mo Xuanyin pointing to the map and said: "If Mu Chuan really wants to do this first, then today's siege illustrates the problem, he just wants to break our city gate, because it will take several months to repair it later, but this time the loss is too serious, Mu Chuan has to break the city gate and then withdraw his troops." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel cold, if they continued to fight at that time, even if they won, they would lose both.

However, Mo Xuanyin said that there was no need to worry, because there were still a few days before the end of the year, and both sides didn't want to fight anymore, which was a time for them to recuperate.

However, during the subsequent inventory, everyone found that the military expenditure was already a little insufficient, and Gu Xiqian had no choice but to let Dieshuanglou pay part of the money, and everyone was less frugal, which was naturally not a problem in the new year.

But obviously the New Year is naturally going to be better, Mo Xuanyin wants some soldiers to go back, and the rest of the people will celebrate the New Year together.

At the dinner, Mo Xuanyin stood up and said to the people around him: "Colleagues, this year, everyone has worked hard, I am here, do it first as a respect!" With that, he drank all the wine in his glass.

Everyone also drank one after another, because there were many fewer people, the problem of military spending was temporarily alleviated, and the idea of having fun with the people made the army live a good year.

On the other hand, Zhen Qingyun and Mu Chuan were also discussing the matter of the New Year, but they found that the military budget was already insufficient, and in desperation, they had to let the soldiers go home for the New Year first, and the rumor of insufficient military spending spread for a while.

As the rumors spread more and more, the two had no choice but to go back to the capital to raise the matter of military spending.

"I can't help this matter, and many places need money." Gu Ye said helplessly.

The two of them were immediately confused, their own people are now fighting on the border, but they don't give money because of this problem?

However, now that Gu Ye is the emperor, the two of them have no choice but to let all the soldiers disperse, and then the two came to the inn to drink alcohol.

Maybe their appearance, Gu Ye is also very helpless, because the concubines in the harem are extravagant, and the treasury is about to be emptied, even if the family property of the corrupt official's door was confiscated before, it is still impossible to make ends meet.

Although Gu Ye had already given a warning, they didn't hear it, and Zhen Yufu kept pulling in other people, spending a lot of money, which made Gu Ye very depressed for a while.

And the identity of each concubine is the daughter-in-law of the minister, and if a certain one is thin, the ministers will begin to have various opinions.

In addition, the whole country of South Vietnam is now pursuing a policy of reducing taxes, which further empties the national treasury.

has a weak heart, this is Gu Yexuan's situation with border soldiers, and even the recruitment of soldiers has begun to have problems, not to mention military spending?

"Alas, I didn't expect that the imperial court would become what it is now." Zhen Yufu reluctantly took a sip of wine and said.

Makikawa looked at them and said, "This is the country you want to protect?" It looks like it's about to die. ”

The two of them watched the people outside happily celebrate the New Year, but their two generals could only drink in the inn, which was really sad.

At this time, Zhen Qingyun thought that his sister was the queen, and she should have money to give herself, and Mu Chuan then followed him to Zhen Yufu's room.

"Sister, I know you have money, as long as you lend me to get through this, I will..."

Without waiting for Zhen Qingyun to finish speaking, Zhen Yufu talked about her predicament.

It turned out that in order to win over the officials in the court and the central government to build momentum for Gu Ye, his money had been almost spent, but when his strength was first built, Gu Ye began to punish corrupt officials because he wanted to fill the treasury, and he had no money when he landed.

Later, Gu Ye was fined or made meritorious contributions, and many ministers gave their daughters away as princesses, looking like the minister's daughter, Gu Ye had no way to object.

In the days that followed, Zhen Yufu managed the harem, but the extravagance of the concubines gradually emptied the treasury.

After hearing this, Mu Chuan suddenly understood that even if they paid the money to atone for their sins, their daughter would slowly take it out of the treasury to make up for the loss, so it seems that Gu Ye's original idea did not happen at all, and the ministers used another method to get the money back.

After listening to this, the two looked helpless, and also talked about the problem of insufficient military spending, as well as the war on the border.

"Otherwise, let the emperor issue an edict and announce the matter of the prince himself, in this way, the emperor's current identity can also justifiably ascend the throne, and even a truce with the other party, what do you think?" Zhen Qingyun said.

Zhen Yufu looked helpless, Nanyue was not without troops, but it was defeated by no money, which is really ironic.

The next day, Mu Chuan and Zhen Qingyun came to the main hall and talked about the recent events, and also talked about the lack of military spending in front of all the ministers, which made Gu Ye very helpless.

The officials bowed their heads, a little afraid that they would talk about themselves.

Especially Zhen Qingyun, who is also fully prepared to be able to talk about these explanations here.

After Gu Ye heard this, he looked at the accounts counted by the household department, and saw that the treasury was no longer enough to support the military expenses on the border, and the atmosphere became very awkward.

At this time, Makikawa proposed to let Prince Duan admit the fact that he was plotting to usurp the throne, so as to reach an armistice agreement with the other party.

When the ministers heard this, they all chimed in, and it seemed that they were no longer informed, but began to force Gu Ye to agree.

"Your Majesty, the fortunes of the country are important."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Seeing that they didn't have to pay their own money to solve the problem, the ministers all played on their bodies, and they burst into tears one by one, and they were so aggrieved that Gu Ye told the world.

"Okay, in that case, tell the world over there!" Gu Ye said angrily.

A few days later, the events of that year were slowly spread throughout the country of Nanyue in the form of notices, and over time, the whole world knew about the usurpation of the throne by Prince Duan, and even the details were copied into books and circulated.
