Chapter 290: War between the Two Countries
A few days later, I saw the news that General Ouyang had committed suicide in fear of crime came from the prison, because not only did he send out private soldiers, but even indulged people from Yunnan to come in, not only to bully the king, but also to hide private soldiers.
However, they all knew that it was Gu Miaoxuan's strategy, in order to suppress the Ouyang family's forces.
After hearing the news, Ouyang Yue was even more depressed, and after dealing with his father's affairs, Ouyang Yue made a decision, that is, to become a monk.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and comforted Ouyang Yue one after another, but at this time, Ouyang Yue had already made up his mind, and the loss of his wife and father may be too big a blow for him.
"Are you really going to become a monk?" Gu Xiqian said.
"I plan to leave here and become a monk in a nearby monastery, and never ask about the world again." Ouyang Yue smiled lightly.
In just a few days, a good person actually had the idea of becoming a monk, and Gu Xiqian didn't know what to say to comfort her, because she used to have this idea after losing everything, but she survived by herself, and he accepted this fact calmly.
Seeing that it ended with such a result now, everyone also sighed a little, and there were too many things to lose for them during this period of time.
Just when everyone was about to go back, they saw that Gao Qi and the others just sent them out of the border, and then went to the border with their own people.
"It's strange, now that there is no war, why would Gao Qi suddenly go to the border?"
When asked, Gao Qi just said silently, the "military order" was perfunctory.
Not long after, I saw that Gu Xiqian received the news that friction began to break out on the border between Lanling and Yunnan, and the soldiers on both sides began to have small-scale conflicts, and they all injured each other.
According to the news of Stacked Shuanglou, it turned out that Gu Miaoxuan was secretly operating, making the people of Lanling Kingdom think that General Ouyang and Ouyang Yue's monks belonged to Yunnan Kingdom, and even put forward Wei Zilan's matter as a conspiracy theory.
Only a month later, the soldiers of both sides began a large-scale conflict, and even Gao Qi took the opportunity to take some land from the other side, which directly caused the war.
In Yunnan Kingdom, the ministers all said that Gu Xiqian was not, and even thought that this conflict was because of Gu Xiqian's trip to Lanling Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the queen's move is too dangerous, and she even asked the emperor to send General Gao, so we can't gain more than we lose."
"That's right, Your Majesty, the queen is ashamed of the queen's name this time, and even the people around her can be betrayed, which is a bit excessive."
Seeing that everyone was talking about it, but for Mo Xuanyin, this was not a problem, because this trip to Lanling Kingdom, Wei Yunmo's bandits and later high-ranking people's raids in the bandit stronghold had been able to make up for the treasury.
Of course, these things can't be said, even if everyone comes back and rewards them well, it naturally makes the people below have a lot of opinions.
"You don't know, the queen's actions are all my instructions, the war between the two countries will break out sooner or later, and the queen's time is just to accelerate the war, not to mention, now that the Lanling Kingdom has lost their general, it is a rare opportunity for us." Mo Xuanyin explained.
"But Your Majesty, we have just been through the war, and our vitality has not yet recovered, so it is inevitable that the South Vietnamese country will have a chance." The minister said.
However, Mo Xuanyin didn't think so, "Zhongqing, our Yunnan Kingdom has always been at the intersection of Lanling Kingdom and Nanyue Kingdom, if Lanling Kingdom is destroyed, we will be equivalent to stabilizing our rear, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to deal with Nanyue Kingdom?" ”
At this time, the ministers did not speak, they were all considering the feasibility of this matter, compared with the Lanling Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom, of course, the Lanling Kingdom is easier to deal with, and the Lanling Kingdom only has the secret guard and Gu Miaoxuan is more difficult to deal with, but no matter how strong Gu Miaoxuan is, it is just a matter of one person, and the soldiers without generals are scattered after all.
Mo Xuanyin wanted to seize this opportunity and take advantage of the fact that the strength of Lanling Kingdom was not strong, and he would take it into his pocket.
"What's more, we are now, but we have General Gao personally guarding the border, as well as our iron cavalry of Yunnan Kingdom, the people of Lanling Country want to resist, it's just a joke, you say, this land of Lanling Kingdom, should we give up? Or is it to Huzhou or Yanguo? Mo Xuanyin asked.
The ministers in the audience did not dare to speak, and even knelt down and said: "The emperor is wise." ”
Soon after, there was a large-scale mobilization in Yunnan, and watching the soldiers say goodbye to their parents and go to the battlefield made Gu Xiqian a little sad, feeling like she had hurt them.
After receiving the replenishment of troops, Gao Qi did not wait long, and immediately led the troops to set off.
When he came to the city, Gao Qi put down his cruel words, if he didn't open the door and surrender, he would directly kill it and burn it down, which frightened the people on the city wall to surrender one after another.
In the face of the iron cavalry of the Yunnan State, the soldiers of the Lanling State either retreated to the rear defense line or directly opened the city gate and surrendered.
Hearing that Yunnan State took the opportunity to send troops, the whole Lanling Kingdom was suddenly in chaos, and some ministers even proposed surrender or land cession to negotiate peace.
The king of Lanling was also very panicked, because if this momentum continued, the Lanling Kingdom would be destroyed within a year.
However, it is an opportunity for Gu Miaoxuan, if she can stand up and lead the people of Lanling to fight against Yunnan at this time, then her status will rise, and the integration of the general's troops makes her think that she has the ability to fight.
"Zhongqing's family, the people of Yunnan came to us earlier and plundered the money that belonged to us in the name of suppressing bandits, and now they are coveting our territory again, we don't need to endure it anymore, we have to fight back now and take back what belongs to us!" Gu Miaoxuan said.
For a while, the ministers below echoed one after another, and they didn't care about King Lanling's peace at all.
"Your Majesty, if the women don't let me have my eyebrows, let me put on my armor and go into battle, and I won't leave any armor for the people who kill Yunnan!" Gu Miaoxuan said.
King Lanling is still hesitating, but the current government no longer has much say in his own affairs, but he still hopes to protect the Lanling Kingdom, and he doesn't have much hope for this war.
But now everyone's emotions have been brought up, and even Gu Miaoxuan has taken action in person, which has made this war irreversible.
"Okay, I will give you the sword of Shang Fang and lead the three armies to the battle!" King Lanling said.
"Emperor Xie!"
At this time, the ministers echoed Gu Miaoxuan, which was a good opportunity for her.
At night, Gu Miaoxuan was packing up her things alone, and Mu Chuan on the side looked at her, "You are really gambling big, you actually gambled the whole country into it, do you really think you can win?" ”
Gu Miaoxuan said very calmly: "What do you think? I didn't want to win in the first place, as long as I could make them understand that now is a time of international crisis, and it would be nice for someone to be willing to stand up, and as for whether the war will be won, it doesn't matter to me. ”
Mu Chuan didn't speak, he understood Gu Miaoxuan's reason for doing this, and even thought that she had even prepared the conditions for peace, as long as she went into battle to kill the enemy now, even if she was defeated, no one would complain about her, and she would even gain people's hearts, which was very important for her to seize power in the future.
Moreover, the general who opposed her has also been eliminated, and there is no one in the Lanling Kingdom who can compete with her.
"Well, then I wish you a victorious and triumphant return." Makikawa said, holding up his glass.
"Heh... It's rare to hear you talk like that, but I'll borrow your words from you. After saying that, he also picked up the wine glass.
The next day, Gu Miaoxuan officially led the troops to set off, but this time she did not bring Mu Chuan, on the one hand, she was not at ease with Mu Chuan, and on the other hand, she needed someone to control the situation in Lanling Country for herself.
Even if he has won the hearts of the people, there are still many opposing voices in the court, especially under the persuasion of King Lanling, many people are worried about this war.
However, for Makikawa, this is his opportunity, and if he can take the opportunity to win those people under his command, it will be a good development opportunity for him.
The day after Gu Miaoxuan's departure, Mu Chuan came to the homes of those officials with generous gifts.
"It turned out to be Lord Makikawa, I don't know what the important thing is to come here?" The other party asked.
"Zhao Shangshu, I came this time to discuss cooperation with you." After saying that, Makikawa put down the things he brought.
When I opened it, it was a flawless milky white pearl, and the faint light showed that it was worth a lot.
"Lord Makikawa, isn't it a little wrong for you to do this?" Zhao Shangshu said embarrassedly.
Zhao Shangshu knew that he was Gu Miaoxuan's person, and when he came over at this time, his purpose was also very obvious.
"Zhao Shangshu misunderstood, I came here this time so that you can overthrow the county lord with me." Makikawa said.
"What? What do you mean by that? ”
Then Mu Chuan began to analyze the pros and cons, not only her recent actions, but even the reasons behind this war, and even some unnecessary things related to this matter, so that the other party believed in the relationship between Mu Chuan and Gu Miaoxuan.
"I've been working hard all my life to revitalize the Lanling Kingdom, but now because of the county lord, the entire Lanling Kingdom is in crisis, if you really have the heart, I might as well help you." Zuo Shangshu said.
"Of course, if you are willing to help me, I will do my best."
Subsequently, Mu Chuan went to visit various officials, of course, he also took the means of lobbying, after all, not all officials accept the gift, and many of them have really paid their lives for Lanling State, which makes Mu Chuan a little admired, but after so many years, Lanling Country is still a small country, and you can also see how incompetent the root of this country is.
