Chapter 293: Glory Despite Defeat
Gao Qi watched Gu Miaoxuan's footsteps keep moving back, and immediately called someone to step forward to catch her.
However, it was too late, and I saw Gu Miaoxuan jumping up, and said excitedly: "Release the arrow!" Bring someone down for me at once!" ”
Gu Miaoxuan performed light skills, although the cliff was bottomless, it was not a problem for her, because she was too familiar with this place.
Below is a dense wood, which is a good way to cover your leave.
However, as soon as she landed, the sound of arrows began to be heard overhead.
"What!?"
Gu Miaoxuan couldn't react, her shoulder was suddenly scratched by an arrow, and she had no choice but to leave by leaning on the mountain.
"Damn, you're doing it so badly!" Gu Miaoxuan cursed.
Not long after, Gao Qi ordered the people who went down to search to come back, but there was no trace of Gu Miaoxuan, but they heard that Gu Miaoxuan was injured and left.
Gao Qi had no choice but to collect his troops and go back and knock down the city that had been surrounded before.
Two days later, Gu Miaoxuan returned to the city where she had made peace, but received a battle report of the fall of several cities.
"W-how?" Gu Miaoxuan said unexpectedly.
However, looking at the battle report, I found that several cities had fallen, and even some places had given up resistance, so that the troops of Yunnan quickly came to the capital not far away.
After a while, I saw the spy come back and said, "County Lord, it's not good, the army of Yunnan is already approaching here!" ”
Gu Miaoxuan, who had just finished treating the wound, was suddenly attacked by qi and blood, and the wound was split open and internal injuries were immediately fainted.
When I woke up, I found that they were all people, but they all had heavy faces, as if something had happened.
"What happened? How long have I been asleep? Gu Miaoxuan asked.
"County Lord, you've been sleeping for a day, just earlier, the emperor... It has already negotiated peace with the Yunnan State. The general on the side said.
Gu Xiqian was surprised: "How come? We can still fight, why should we negotiate peace? ”
At this point, the generals spoke of the reason.
In the early days, there was a shortage of harvest in Lanling State, coupled with the war with Yunnan State, so that their harvest plummeted, not to mention the problem of conscription, which led to a lot of land waste, and even bandits and thieves were rampant, which made the people of Lanling Country miserable.
At that time, the king of Lanling also wanted to negotiate peace and solve the food problem, but the ministers all supported Gu Miaoxuan, probably because they could defeat Yunnan and then rob them of land and food.
However, it turned out that Gu Miaoxuan not only failed to defeat the Yunnan Kingdom, but even let them approach at an extremely fast speed, and the current Lanling Kingdom was in danger of being destroyed at any time.
Out of desperation, the king of Lanling had no choice but to come forward in person, negotiate peace with Yunnan, and even accepted their suggestion to include a quarter of his territory in the territory of Yunnan.
After listening to this, Gu Xiqian could only reluctantly accept the reality, and returned to the court after a few days of recuperation.
However, after going back, she naturally accepted King Lanling's accusations, but she did nothing wrong with Gu Miaoxuan's coming.
"Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, if I hadn't resisted, with the current strength of Yunnan State, we would have been wiped out a long time ago, but they are now accepting our peace, because it is I who will resist their invasion with my soldiers, if I don't secretly let the South Vietnamese Kingdom send troops, when the time comes, our main force will come over, we will be ruined by then, and the Lanling Kingdom will cease to exist." Gu Miaoxuan explained.
Gu Xiqian said how hard she worked, killing the enemy on the battlefield alone, and how cruel the soldiers of Yunnan were to burn and loot along the way, so that the ministers wanted to impeach well, but in the end they had nothing to say.
"So, I didn't do anything wrong, if it weren't for me, Lanling Kingdom would have ceased to exist a long time ago!"
For a while, the ministers surrendered one after another, and the king of Lanling also retracted his previous words, and even rewarded Gu Miaoxuan.
Mu Chuan, who was on the side, couldn't stand it, and her remarks also made her win people's hearts very well, and she will be more unscrupulous in the government and the opposition in the future.
After the end of the early dynasty, Mu Chuan came to the backyard and saw Gu Miaoxuan who was taking medicine, and couldn't help but joke: "I really didn't expect that you would be injured this time, could it be that Mo Xuanyin was personally recruited?" ”
"Hmph, Mu Chuan, you don't pour cold water on me, this time Mo Xuanyin did not come, but I was not defeated, if it wasn't for the lack of grain and grass, Lanling Country would not be!" Gu Miaoxuan said.
"I heard that when you were fighting, you even asked the soldiers to rob the grain and grass of Yunnan State, which is really powerful." Makikawa exclaimed.
"If you want to mock me, I advise you to keep your mouth shut, I'm in a bad mood right now." Gu Miaoxuan said coldly.
Mu Chuan handed her the tea: "No, I'm sincere, if it were me, I would have thought about breaking through, or leading people to surrender, you actually did this step, which shows that you are still very talented." ”
Gu Miaoxuan drank the tea and looked at his smile, which made her feel that she had gained a lingering feeling.
"How's going on in the palace lately? Did that old immortal say anything? Gu Miaoxuan said.
"You mean the emperor? How dare you, the problem of the recent harvest has not been solved, and peace with Yunnan was negotiated in a few days, and there is nothing to do. Makikawa said.
Listening to his words, Gu Miaoxuan was also a little relieved, if Mu Chuan took the opportunity to make small moves when she was away, then she might not have a way to deal with it.
On the other hand, Gao Qi, who returned triumphantly, returned to the capital to accept Mo Xuanyin's reward, and even divided part of the Lanling territory he took this time as his fief.
"This time, you're doing well, and you deserve it." Mo Xuanyin said.
"Emperor Xie, the last general will do his best and die."
Gao showed loyalty, Mo Xuanyin was very happy, and gave amnesty for three days to celebrate.
After the end of the early dynasty, Mo Xuanyin looked at his territory in the room, from the capital to the Nanyue Kingdom, and then to the current Lanling Kingdom a quarter of the place, he suddenly felt extremely proud, at least he did what his father could not do, so that the territory of Yunnan Kingdom expanded to an unprecedented height.
At this time, Gu Xiqian walked in, looking at Mo Xuanyin inside looking at the map and being happy for him.
"This victory can be regarded as revenge for Zilan." Gu Xiqian came over and said.
"Well, but it's not enough, this kind of territory is not good enough, now it seems that it is not much different from the South Vietnamese country, what I want to do is to dominate the world." Mo Xuanyin said.
"However, the battle has just been fought now, if..."Gu Xiqian said.
Mo Xuanyin said: "Xi Qian, do you know? When Gao Qi and Lanling were at war, Nanyue launched a sneak attack and knocked down the cities of Yan and ours, if this continues, our territory will be forced back to the border pass, and the territory will still be the same as before, since Gu Ye wants to make trouble this time, then I will take this opportunity to take him down, who will dare to be arrogant in front of me at that time. ”
Gu Xiqian looked at Mo Xuanyin with some doubts, feeling that he seemed to be a different person at this time, and he had become obsessed with dominating the world, which was completely different from the original indifferent to fame and fortune.
I may have liked him at the beginning, but now he has become a power-seeker, and even a little scared.
"Since Gu Ye has started to send troops, then we shouldn't sit idly by, let General Gao prepare."
"Your Majesty, this time the matter of Nanyue Kingdom."
Mo Xuanyin looked up at Gu Xiqian, "Hmm... Xi Qian also thinks I should drive in person? Also, after all, Nanyue Country is not Lanling Kingdom, if you face Zhen Qingyun, it is estimated that it will not be easy to deal with, or you think thoughtfully. ”
Looking at Mo Xuanyin who was so positive, Gu Xiqian stopped him and told him about his recent changes.
However, Mo Xuanyin explained: "Xiqian, you have to understand that sometimes, when you sit in this position, many things are out of your control, but you are a princess, and you may not know my pain." ”
Of course, Gu Xiqian didn't understand this, but what she wanted now was to ask Mo Xuanyin to stop sending troops.
"That's enough, if you don't understand me, you can go out, this time I'm done with the South Vietnam Kingdom!" Mo Xuanyin shouted loudly.
Gu Xiqian looked at him in surprise, feeling that he was going back to his previous appearance, but this time he didn't seem to realize his changes, so he left helplessly.
On the other hand, Gu Ye was also very happy when he saw that he had recaptured half of the territory he had lost before in two months, but when he heard that Lanling Kingdom was defeated and sued for peace, his face suddenly changed.
"Humph! This group of waste, I am still blocking the main force of Yunnan for them, and I can't even hold out for half a year, it seems that I can't believe it. Gu Ye said.
When his subordinates reported that Yunnan might send troops, Gu Ye's face became a little ugly, and he immediately sent troops to support the soldiers on the border and made preparations.
Zhen Yufu on the side looked at Gu Ye's repentance three or four times, and suddenly felt a little anxious, in case Yunnan really called, this time he would not accept the conditions of peace, if it was replaced by him, he would not agree to cooperate with Gu Ye again, after all, such a person has no faith in his words.
"Your Majesty, it's time to make a prince, do you think that among the children now, which one is suitable to be the prince?" Zhen Yufu asked.
Gu Ye hesitated for a moment, and immediately understood what Zhen Yufu meant, and immediately thought of various reasons to shirk.
"Uh... Queen, now that the national crisis is present, these things will be talked about later. After speaking, Gu Ye left.
Zhen Yufu came to the backyard and saw Gu Ye walking in a hurry, which immediately aroused her curiosity, but when she saw the scene of Gu Ye hugging Liu Guifei, she was shocked.
"Your Majesty, when will you be willing to pull that queen down, I can't wait.
