Chapter 726: Retreat (Third Watch)

The court lost miserably!

The real winner is actually only Yan Yunge.

On the surface, it seems that the status quo has been maintained.

As a matter of fact......

The court lost troops and lost generals, all the face was gone, and the court was still in a mess.

Every day, they quarrel over the battle for the country's capital.

The city of Jianzhou has become tense because of the dispute over the country.

When Yan Yunge officially threw an olive branch to the Southern Wei court and Emperor Xiao Chengwen, the courtiers shouted "Okay!"

They had long wanted to withdraw their troops, but the emperor insisted on not retreating.

Now......

Yan Yunge took the initiative to regress and was willing to pay taxes in full, as well as some salt taxes and sugar taxes, which is a good thing!

Just to make up for the grain and grass consumed in the war and solve the urgent needs of the imperial court.

However, the attitude of the emperor ......

Syllable!

Kicked over the small stool.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen's liver was hot, and his face was flushed.

"Yan Yunge is so bold that he plays with me in applause. Now that she doesn't want to fight, I have to order the troops to withdraw according to her wishes, how can this be true! It's just too deceitful! ”

He was furious.

No one has ever set up such a big game and caused him so much trouble, and finally wanted to get out of the way.

Dream!

"Your Majesty is angry! Your body matters! ”

"I'm about to be by her, what's the use of her body!"

Emperor Xiao Cheng walked around the hall in a gentle manner, and all kinds of thoughts were spinning rapidly.

He lost his temper, unlike his father and his brother.

He doesn't like to use force, he prefers to use his brain.

He doesn't shout and kill when he's angry.

But......

He kills people, but he never shows mercy.

All kinds of thoughts flashed, weighing the pros and cons, the good and the bad, in a short period of time, all went through in his mind.

He had to admit that the conditions offered by Yan Yunge were tempting enough and were exactly what he needed now.

It's just that......

I can't swallow this breath.

No one had ever dared to play with him like this, and the entire court was toyed with by her in applause.

A single dispute over the country's capital will not yield results in two or three years.

There is no doubt that the dispute over the national capital was provoked by her Yan Yunge.

She provoked a fight, and wanted to get out of the fight, and even pretended to be a good person in turn and publicly supported his decision......

Hehe!

"I've never seen such a brazen woman!"

How dare she!

How dare she wave her sleeves after slapping him in the face, and she wants to retreat without being contaminated with a fishy smell.

Dream!

Grandpa Fei really wanted to persuade the emperor to be calm and reasonable, now is not the time to be vindictive.

The real threat is no longer Yan Yunge, but the battle for the country.

It's just that......

Looking at the emperor's expression, the haze in his eyes, he couldn't say a word of persuasion.

From last year to this year, no one knows better than him how difficult it really is for the emperor.

He was distressed!

also aggrieved and resentful for the emperor......

Countless times, I wanted to impulsively send someone to assassinate Yan Yunge.

This woman is really too deceitful!

There are so many difficulties, and I am suffering every day.

Now Yan Yunge doesn't want to play anymore, he wants to end everything unilaterally when he says it's over, how can there be such a good thing.

The initiative is in her hands, what has become of the dignified emperor?

Puppet?

"Your Majesty, if you don't give Lord Cui an order, let him attack the three counties with all his strength, and take the three counties at all costs. There is always a way to solve the problem of grain and grass. It's a big deal, the old slave personally went to escort the grain and grass! ”

Emperor Xiao Chengwen was silent.

He sat still and didn't move!

It's like a sculpture, contemplative!

Father-in-law Fei became more and more distressed.

He never made a mistake in the way he saw people.

The first time, he saw that Yan Yunge was not pleasing to the eye, and sure enough, it was not true.

This woman has finally become a big problem for the Great Wei court, and it is difficult to control.

At this time......

Jin Wuwei got urgent news that students from all over the country were secretly connecting and planning to come to Jianzhou to petition.

If you really want to let these students who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic go to the capital, there will be a big chaos!

Jin Wuwei asked the emperor, should these students who are in tandem with Jianzhou want to stop them, and how to intercept them?

Interception is important.

Is it intercepted at any cost, or is it intercepted without harming human lives?

Is it just to intercept them, or to arrest them all and put them in prison, make a note on the file, and deprive them of their qualifications for the imperial examination?

There's so much to pay attention to here.

Jin Wuwei didn't dare to make a decision, so he could only enter the palace to ask for a will.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen's face was gloomy.

Everyone didn't want to stop, and they didn't want to make him feel better as an emperor.

The battle for the national capital is becoming more and more intense.

He refused to let go, and neither did the courtiers and local officials.

It's a long-term battle to see who has the better patience and who has the more chips.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen calmed down instantly.

Right now......

It's not the time to fight with Yan Yunge.

The courtiers dragged their feet, and even if Cui Zhi had great ability, it was difficult for him to persist in this battle.

Thereupon......

He was unwilling, he was reluctant, but in the end he made the decision to withdraw from the army.

"Reply to Yan Yunge, the salt tax and sugar tax will be fifty percent. Otherwise, don't talk about it! It's a big deal, I'm fighting hard and continue to fight this war! ”

……

The news passed through the waterway and was quickly delivered to Yan Yunge's hands.

"Fifty percent? The lion opens his mouth! ”

She disagreed.

Now......

She can afford it, but the emperor can't afford it.

He needs to free up money and food, free up energy, and free up manpower to solve the dispute over the country's capital.

But......

She still gave the emperor a face.

After all, the emperor has already been slapped in the face, and it is not good to continue to slap the face, and it is not conducive to peace.

She said solemnly: "Forty percent! Mrs. Ben could only pay a maximum of forty percent of the salt tax and sugar tax. This is also Mrs. Ben's biggest concession. The three counties are not without bargaining chips, and Mrs. Ben has never been scared of anyone in the war.

On the contrary, it is the emperor, can he afford it? From the Southern Wei Dynasty to the imperial court, down to the villages, counties and towns, they all became noisy because of the dispute over the country's capital, and they had no intention of doing serious things! After all, if the country is not set for a day, people's hearts are empty. Loyal to the emperor today, if there is a new emperor tomorrow, will it be settled by the queen of autumn? ”

Her words can be described as a great rebellion.

almost bluntly cursed the emperor for his unstable throne, and he would be usurped and seized power tomorrow.

Boom......

The inner eunuch who passed the word turned white with fright.

Without saying a word, he left by boat overnight.

The fierce place of Pingyang County should not stay for a long time!

The two sides come and go, bargaining.

At last......

Emperor Xiao Chengwen took a batch of Pingyang County-made weapons from Yanyun Singer before agreeing to the salt tax and sugar tax.

On the day that the agreement was reached, the will to withdraw from the army and the official document were sent from Jianju to the front line Choi Sik Choi.

Hereunto......

The war, which lasted for almost a year, came to an end.

……

Lord Choi Zhi Cui received the official documents and wills, packed up his baggage, and ordered the whole army to set up camp and retreat.

He retreated thirty miles and set up camp.

After that, slowly retreat.

At the same time, the guard battalion received an order to retreat thirty miles.

The original Red Flame Battlefield became empty overnight, leaving only traces of war, blood-stained trees and soil, and the small people who cautiously came down from the mountains to check the situation.

In this battle, no one won, no one lost.

Although Cui Zhi failed to take the three counties, he trained the generals and built the southern army into a strong army.

Although the guard battalion blocked the peak of the imperial army, it lost its troops and lost its vitality, and it was in urgent need of rest and replenishment.

Ultimately......

In this battle, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is a trivial matter, and the real game is in the court and in the hearts of the people.

What determines the direction of a war and the outcome of a war is never on the battlefield.

Standing on the hillside, looking into the distance, blocking a section of the river, the navigation was restored on the second day of the retreat, which is really efficient!

Master Cui Zhicui sighed again and again, "Today's young people are really sharp and fierce. Compared with the old man, he is as strong as he is, which is amazing. ”

"Retreating is a helpless move! Ay...... The people in the court will only drag their feet. Zhong Shuhao sighed.

Cui Wang said: "It's not that the courtiers are dragging their feet, it's that Yan Yunge is too good at taking advantage of people's hearts and provoking fights. The dispute over the national capital is a matter of time. She cleverly provoked the fight in advance, giving the three counties a chance to survive. This woman's means are extraordinary, but it's a pity that she hasn't met, which is really a pity. ”

Dou Saburo smiled softly, "General Cui doesn't have to regret that I didn't see Yan Yunge's true face, I think it's a good thing." If you see it, you will only regret it even more. ”

Cui Wang raised his eyebrows, "I heard that Yan Yunge has a beautiful appearance, very amazing, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"Nature is true!" Dou Sanlang said loudly: "The girls of the Yan family are outstanding, and Yan Yunge is especially outstanding. It seems that heaven and earth are all concentrated on her alone.

It's just that this woman is too fierce, and only Xiao Yi is willing to succumb to her. If you are another man, I am afraid that you will not be able to accept a wife who is as strong as this.

Think about Xiao Yi, before he got married, how famous he was. Nowadays, people only remember Yan Yunge, where do they still remember Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi seems to have become Yan Yunge's foil. The world calls her Mrs. Yan, not Mrs. Xiao, which is enough to explain everything. Xiao Yi, the stingy ghost, didn't expect to have such a generous side, and was willing to be driven by a woman. ”

"You are shallow! Xiao Yi is good at fighting with soldiers, Yan Yunge can give full play to his strengths as much as possible, and don't let him worry about things other than the military, isn't that good? How can a military general concentrate on fighting when he is distracted by things next to him? ”

Zhong Shuhao stood up to speak for Yan Yunge.

Dou Saburo snorted twice, his eyes were full of deep meaning, and he looked like he was all clear.

Zhong Shuhao snorted coldly, "I'm just telling the truth." ”

Dou Saburo laughed, "That's why she's fierce!" It is precisely because she is good at figuring out people's hearts and doing what they like, so Xiao Yi will be willing to be driven by her.

Back then, Brother Zhong wholeheartedly asked to marry Yan Yunge, if you had fulfilled your wish back then and married a beautiful girl, your Zhong family's current affairs should be her, not your father and son. ”

Zhong Shuhao was annoyed and ashamed, kept a straight face, and stopped talking.

Dou Saburo is interesting and no longer provokes the other party.

Cui Wang had regret in his heart, and he said solemnly: "One day, I must go to Pingyang County and see Yan Yunge's true face with my own eyes." What kind of woman can fight her way out of a desperate situation. ”

Master Cui Zhi Cui stroked his beard and smiled, "The old man is also very curious, how can there be such a strange woman in the world!" ”
