The territory that the Emperor Taizu didn't dare to set foot in, and she was so self-conscious as a female leader of the Empress Dowager Cao....

For this, Jiang Xian was both shocked and incredible, but also felt that this was not like the style of Empress Dowager Cao, could it be ...... What happened to Yaojing? At this juncture of the New Year?

No, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.

If there is really anything, wait for this Spring Festival to talk about it, those who cause trouble, all for the sake of the New Year's Festival, stop and postpone the trouble...

But the truth is contrary to what he thinks and hopes.

……

It was not Yaojing who had the accident, but Nanguan.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the army of the Southern Key Kingdom directly sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the southwest pass of Nanguan, which was menacing.

The war was all over the sky, corpses were everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed.

No one expected that on this Chinese New Year's Eve night of family reunion celebration, there would be enemy troops attacking them, which was really rare and terrifying......

What is this?

The rebels of the southern key country have been prepared for a long time, and the so-called plan has been planned for a long time, just waiting for today.

However, the army in Nanguan did not notice the wind at all, and was unprepared at all, and now they are desperately guarding the various passes, but they are already dying.

On the city wall of the southwest pass, there is a young general in a green robe, he is nervously directing the battle, his voice is hoarse but shaking, this is the last line of defense in the southwest direction, if it is breached, the entire Nanguan city will be razed to the ground......

"General Bai, there is still a steady stream of supplies behind the Nankey army, we ......" A soldier touched his face and didn't know whether it was his own or the enemy's or the blood of his companions, and rushed to the young general in the green robe to report the latest battle situation below.

This young man in a green robe is Bai Cheng.

The majestic and famous young general.

"No, it's not-" Bai Cheng looked at the rear of the enemy army, it was a warrior in black robes, and the leader waved a black flag in his hand, with the word "Chu" written on it, "The team from the rear of the Nankey army...... Not the supplies of their southern key country, but .... Our Chu army of Huayin. ”

"Chu ......???" The famous soldier looked at the rear of the enemy army, "Sure enough, it's the Chu army, it turned out to be our people, and they came to support our reinforcements!" The young soldier's tone was a little excited, quite a sense of the rest of his life.

This agitation continued, and the soldiers at the southeast pass came and brought another good news - the rebels in the southeast had been surrounded by the Hunan army that had come to support.

They......

With the support of the Hunan and Chu Second Army, Nanguan was held.

Although, they also suffered heavy losses. But at least it was not successfully attacked by the Southern Key Country.

Regarding the timely arrival of the second army of Hunan and Chu, Bai Cheng was both puzzled and not very confused.

He had written to Yu Nanshen about the current situation in Nanguan, so he was not surprised by the support.

But it came so timely......

It's not close, and it's clear that it's already on the way.

So,,, he didn't know that the Southern Key Congress was coming to attack on Chinese New Year's Eve day, how could they know?

Bai Cheng still had a lot of doubts, until he met a male protagonist in red clothes and white hair - Zong Zheng Huashu.

In the study, Bai Cheng looked a little excited, but he tried his best to keep calm.

He never thought that Zong Zheng Huashu would come, and when he saw him again, Bai Cheng was happy in his heart.

"Long time no see." It took a long time to hold back this sentence.

"Long time no see." Zong Zheng Huashu replied.

It's been a long time, and they haven't seen each other since Bai Cheng left Yaojing to join the army and came to Nanguan.

It's been more than four years, almost five years, time flies so fast, and it's not fast.

"I didn't expect it.... Your Highness, you will come in person. Bai Cheng said.

He was indeed puzzled by the arrival of Zongzheng Huashu, after all, everyone in the world knew that this natural king had been weak and sickly since he was a child, and his body was not good.

Not to mention how far the distance from Yaojing Imperial City to Nanguan is, and how dangerous the road is, the most dangerous thing is the battlefield... War doesn't have long eyes.

So he was not mistaken, Zong Zheng Huashu also stepped on the corpse mountain of the Southern Key soldiers and walked over to the sea of blood.

Zong Zheng Huashu, is it really a natural god of war?

"General Bai had doubts in his heart, Ben.... I'll tell you later, but the most important thing for now is to deal with the rest of the matter. ”

After the war, in addition to cleaning up the battlefield and appeasing and rewarding the soldiers, there are also a lot of things that need to be dealt with.

In addition to comforting the soldiers, they also had to contact the families of the war dead as much as possible, apologize to them, and try to calm their emotions...... All sorts of things.

And most importantly, negotiations with enemy forces and countries.

……

……

After the whole night, early the next morning, the envoy of the Southern Key Kingdom came to the peace talks.

In addition to the messenger, there is another person - the princess of the southern key country, Funo.

Originally, I heard that the crown prince of Huayin personally led the troops to Nanguan, and the king of Nankey State planned to marry his daughter to Wuzong Zheng Huashu to make amends.

Where is this reparation, it is clearly adding to the blockage!

The woman Fno ......

Bai Cheng I glanced at her, dressed in a blue robe, the green silk was simply curled up with hostas, and the temples were decorated with beaded gold hairpins, which was beautiful, but floating on the surface.

Don't talk about this, just looking at her eyes, she feels that they are not clear and clean, and they are full of calculations.

Such a woman, where is the Nan Key Country used to make amends and relatives, it is more like she is here to make trouble for them.

"This prince thinks that this princess of your southern key country is not worthy of the position of crown princess."

Zong Zheng Huashu glanced at Funo, and then said to the envoys who came to the peace talks.

This is really merciless.

Princess Shu? Unworthy? For Verno, such words are simply Chiguoguo's contempt.

But she didn't seem to be angry at all, the corners of her mouth still curved, and she raised a friendly and touching smile.

She was an emotionless tool, she already knew that no matter who won or lost this battle, she would be sent to Huayin by her father and mother.

The only difference is that she has no choice.

They were defeated, so she had no choice.

In other words, who she wants to marry Hua Yin is not for her to choose, she can obey Hua Yin's arrangement.

……

……

There are some things that are very strange, always happen when they shouldn't happen, and always make people feel unexpected, such as the sneak attack on Nanguan on the Huayin border by the Nankey Country on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the timely feeling of the Xiangchu Second Army when the Nankey Country was about to break through the Nanguan.

Or now—

As a defeated country, the southern key country assumed the posture of a victorious country and came to negotiate peace with them.

That's funny!

But what is even more strange is not the attitude of Nan Keyguo, but the final statement of Zongzheng Huashu.

They clearly asked the envoys of the Southern Key Kingdom to bring back their princess Funo, but Zongzheng Huashu kept her and said that he would take her back to Yaojing.

It's just that the matter of harmony was not mentioned.

But this is already the best outcome, at least for Verno.

If she is brought back to the southern key country, not only will she not survive, but her brother and her mother will not be much better.

Therefore, Zongzheng Huashu did not drive her away, and Funo was quite grateful for this matter.

As for the future, let's talk about it later, Verno thought to himself, and smiled again.
