In this way, the remaining 400,000 troops of Yingzhou Kingdom accompanied the 130,000 troops of Yinyue, and continued to advance for fifty miles before choosing to set up camp, and rested in the direction of Canglan City, the capital of the Silver Moon Emperor.

In the early morning of the third day, the herald rushed back to the imperial capital of Yingzhou State at just the right time, and went straight to the court without stopping.

"Your Majesty, good news from the front. The herald did not stop for a moment, and knelt at the feet of Emperor Mu Xin at a trot.

"Oh? When Mu Xin heard this sudden good news, he couldn't wait to understand the reason.

"Back to Your Majesty, our army annihilated the enemy's main force eighty miles outside the Drinking Horse Valley, captured 130,000 enemy troops, killed countless enemies, and killed the enemy's general Liu Qingshan, Major General Liu Rufeng, and Zuo General Long Silin. The herald replied loudly, and the whole court was excited, and the happiest was Emperor Mu Xin.

"Okay! The general is really the pillar of our country, I didn't expect to win the first battle, it seems that my Yingzhou country's thousands of years of grudge will be settled in my dynasty, hahaha!

"Your Majesty, the general is really a cadre of the Zhu State, and he must not be loyal to his Xiao family for generations. Lord Chen, the servant of the ministry, said.

"Lord Chen is reasonable, come, spread my message, reward General Xiao Yun with 10,000 taels of gold, 10 horses chasing the wind for thousands of miles, give a mansion to the prince, give the eldest son Xiao Shan's fourth son Marquis Xiao Yu, give the lady Lan a product of the order, and reward the nine dragons and phoenixes. ”

"Your Majesty. Hundreds of officials in the court knelt down and shouted, a scene of joy.

However, inside the Imperial Palace of Canglan City of the Silver Moon Empire, it was a different scene.

"What? Say it again? My Silver Moon Army was completely wiped out? Old General Liu died in battle?" Yan Shuang stood up suddenly, her eyes widened with a look of shock.

"Returning to Your Majesty, what the last general said is true, and I ask Your Majesty to make a clear judgment. A bloodied general knelt on top of the court and said tremblingly.

"Annihilation ... How could it be... What does Liu Qingshan do to eat! How could it be... Liu Qingshan, you mistaken!" Yan Shuang went limp, and suddenly fell on the wide dragon chair, repeating his incredulity in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!" A cadre of civil servants and military generals fell to their knees.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who has a good way to deal with it, I hope to speak up. Yan Shuang's eyes were hazy, and he almost fainted with a moment of anger, but fortunately, relying on the perennial recuperation of the imperial doctor in the palace, he held his breath and asked tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to summon the border army back to the capital for defense, and then send two men and horses to Xiao Yun's place and Yingzhou to sue for peace, and present the beauty of money, wealth and elixir to the treasure, cut the land of thirty cities, and beg Yingzhou to withdraw the army, so as to ensure that my silver moon is safe. An old man with white hair stood up and said.

"Fart! Not to mention that the two countries have been grudges for a long time, how can these things outside the body make the Yingzhou army retreat, but to say that your policy of cutting land and seeking peace is no different from betraying the country. The ranks of generals on the opposite side immediately let out a loud shout.

"Hmph, now that Liu Qingshan is dead, do you still expect your group of wine bags and rice bags to repel the Yingzhou army?"

"Old puppet, dare you insult me!"

"Quiet! What I want now is countermeasures, not your intrigue and invective against each other!" Yan Shuang shouted, stopping the war of words between the two sides.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if it's feasible for the minister to have a plan. A middle-aged man in a yellow robe, who was out of place with his surroundings, stepped forward and said to Yan Shuang.

"Oh, the national teacher has a good plan, but it doesn't hurt to say it. As soon as this person spoke, Yan Shuang's heart suddenly became happy, and it seemed that he must have attached great importance to this yellow-robed person.

"First, now that the envoy of the Dongyu League is still living in the harem, you might as well say that he will contribute to my Yinyue and force back the Yingzhou army. Second, you can send a confidant to the Demon Emperor Ridge to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to China for rescue. Third, secretly mobilized the domestic line of Yingzhou, divided Xiao Yun, and made him fearful. Fourth, send capable officials to Xiao Yun's camp to offer heavy gifts, and ask Liu Xianmin to report to Emperor Yingzhou about this. ”

"Good strategy! Good strategy! I know that the national teacher must have a good plan to deal with it, hahaha. Hearing what the man in the yellow robe said, Yan Shuang's eyebrows and eyes relaxed, if these four strategies can be implemented one by one, then not only can Yinyue be safe, but also Xiao Yun can be placed on the crime of treason and defection to the enemy.

"Someone came, passed on my message, and ordered Guo Huai to go to the Demon Emperor Ridge to meet the prince, and ordered him to return to China to help. Saga, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, selected a competent person to prepare a generous gift to meet Xiao Yun. As for the transfer of the internal line, there is Lao Guoshi, and this matter of Dongyu's special envoy... Ay... It's not too late to talk about it in the future. ”

"Obey. The civil and military officials all knelt on the ground and responded.

In this time of crisis, the entire Silver Moon Empire was like a clockwork machine, moving rapidly.

。。。。

The next day at noon.

"General Qiqi, the Silver Moon Envoy has come to meet you. The commander of the guard camp knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Yun to report.

"Oh, Silver Moon Emissary, hmph, I'm afraid you're here to beg me to retire, I'm a fool talking about a dream!" Xiao Yun is now preparing to attack the Silver Moon Empire, how could he stop the war because of a few words from the Silver Moon Envoy, besides, the current situation is quite favorable to the Yingzhou Kingdom.

"The subordinates obeyed. ”

Moments later, however, the Commander ran back again.

"General Qiqi, the envoy said that he came to deliver the surrender letter on the order of the Silver Moon Emperor. ”

"Oh, I see, since this will also save me the labor expedition, well, pass him in. When Xiao Yun heard this, he raised his eyebrows, if it was really like what the Silver Moon Envoy said, he would just be able to return to the dynasty with this class, and save the whole army from shedding blood and sacrifice.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe came to Xiao Yun's Chinese army tent.

"General, don't come unharmed. This person bowed deeply at Xiao Yun, listening to his words, as if the two had known each other before.

"You are ... Dong Qi?"

"It was under me that I didn't expect the general to remember me. ”

"Hahaha, how can you not remember, we have been classmates and friends for many years. ”

It turned out that this Dong Qi used to be a native of Yingzhou, living in the imperial capital like Xiao Yun, and the two had known each other when they were children, and studied together in the Guoshi Hall, so they also had a friendship of nearly ten years. It's just that Dong Qi's father was removed from his official position as a minister for accepting bribes and perverting the law, and the family fled to the Silver Moon Empire for refuge, and it has been more than 30 years.

"Come, talk on the military couch!" Xiao Yun pulled Dong Qi over and sat on the general's couch woven with artemisia grass.
