When the mighty army stood on the red sand after the bloody battle, Yi Huaiyu saw the glory of victory, and saw that the day of domination of the world was approaching, and what he saw was that the corpses and bones were all over the field, hundreds of people were displaced, and relatives were separated forever. 173

"After this victory, is it time for Your Majesty to go back? Shen Guoshi's health has not been very good, and it is too hard to let him sit alone in the imperial capital. Removing his sweat-soaked armor, he looked at the depressed road ahead.

"I don't want to go back." Yi Huaiyu stood with his horse pulled, his gaze slightly biased in the direction of the imperial capital, "When I think of returning to the palace and having so many trivial matters to deal with, my mind is in a mess, and I am uncomfortable to death." ”

Occasionally, Liang was speechless.

No matter how many previous dynasties fought openly and secretly, Yi Huaiyu retreated, but the two women in the harem made him frown, and occasionally Suiliang felt helpless about his inattentiveness, but more often, he tried his best to solve the problem for him with an understanding mentality. It's just that things have developed to the point where they are no longer able to control it, just as they didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected person as Shen Junfang between himself and Yi Huaiyu, and when that young man became a trusted national teacher of the Great Abyss, the situation had already begun to get out of balance.

Feelings are such a thing, even the emperors of the ages can't help it.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter from the south."

The attendant handed over a letter to Yi Huaiyu, and was about to retreat, and a messenger came on the other side, which was also an urgent letter sealed with fire paint: "There is an urgent letter from the palace, please take a look at it!" ”

"It's either fine, or it's a big deal, and I won't worry about either side." Frowning and complaining, Yi Huaiyu took the letter, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to open the letter from the south first. 173 Even Suiliang didn't see what was written, but when he saw Yi Huaiyu's expression, he knew that something was wrong.

"What, the war in the south has changed?"

Yi Huaiyu's thin lips pursed, and he slammed the letter into a ball: "After you left, Sima Yuan and Liu Jin clashed, and the two generals insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other, and when they sent troops, they actually led their troops and horses to refuse to cooperate, which led to a sneak attack on our army's grain and grass." Now that Liu Jin has been captured, Sima Yuan has also been wounded, and the southern army is scattered like sand, and it looks like it is about to be counterattacked by Zhaoguo! ”

Occasionally, my conscience tightened, and I realized that something bad was wrong.

He quietly rushed back to the imperial capital from the south, because Yi Huaiyu's order was urgent and did not want to be known, so when he left, he did not send another person to replace the general, and now the only two remaining lieutenants were captured and seriously injured, who else could command? What's worse is that this place is a long way to the south, and even if he is now in the starry night, he may not be too late to rush there.

"Something is wrong." Yi Huaiyu's brows tightened even tighter, and he looked at Sui Liang and took a deep breath, "Sui Liang, you help me analyze and analyze, I always feel that there is a change in Zhaoguo, according to what you said before, their generals should not have such a mind, will it ......?"

"Perhaps, it was a general of the Bai family who went into battle."

The monarchs and ministers who had always been wise were silent at the same time, and no one wanted to verify how likely this guess was - if this was the case, this expedition against Zhao Guo would definitely be defeated.

In the silence, there was the neighing of war horses, Yi Huaiyu pressed his forehead and thought for a long time, and finally called the attendant with a calm face: "Urgent letter and order, order Sima Yuan to quickly lead our soldiers and horses to retreat to Linggu Pass, Qiyang City, Yongshan City garrisons left and right to assist in the evacuation, no troops are allowed to fight!" ”

Leaving with the waiter's order, Yi Huaiyu's face still did not improve, and he even forgot to open another letter in his hand, if it wasn't for the occasional reminder from Suiliang, I was afraid that this letter would become the burial of the previous letter.

Opening the second letter with a cold face, Yi Huaiyu only scribbled at first, but halfway through reading, his face suddenly changed, and he gasped tremblingly.

"What's going on in the palace? Is it Concubine Jing, or is it the queen's mother? Even Suiliang expected that it was not good and hurriedly asked, but Yi Huaiyu couldn't say a word, and only stuffed the letter into the hand of Occasional Suiliang. After reading the letter at a glance, he was almost depressed like Yi Huaiyu, just because of the scribbled numbers in the letter.

The national teacher is critically ill and may not survive March.

The last time we met, Shen Junfang was still talking and laughing, why was he seriously ill in just half a year? Even Suiliang is not a doctor, and he doesn't understand what meridian medicine is, but he can guess what the cause of Shen Junfang's illness is - it's not overwork, then it's for Sima Tulan.

The heart is like a pool, if there is too much water in the pool, it will naturally be unbearable.

"Suiliang, prepare the horse, and return to the imperial capital overnight."

Yi Huaiyu's orders were crisp and neat, and his cold face set off the night even colder, and even Sui Liang did not hesitate to prepare the horse, but with a cup of tea, the preparations for returning to the imperial capital in a hurry were all in place. Without any reason, without any warning, the expeditionary army, which had only been on journey for a few days, was forced to return under the sudden order of Emperor Yi Huaiyu, and that night Yi Huaiyu ignored the strong wind, galloped one after the other with Sui Liang, and went straight to the imperial capital.

In August of the sixth year after succeeding to the throne, Yi Huaiyu suffered an unprecedented defeat, and for many years he attacked Zhaoguo, but he fell short due to the disagreement of the deputy generals before the battle, and even the Zhaoguo army led by Bai Jingfu counterattacked, and the army was wiped out. Ten days later, Zhao Guo took advantage of the situation to break through the border of Yaoguo, occupied two counties and eleven cities, captured more than 700,000 people, and six generals above the third grade, including the elder brother of the queen Sima Tulan, the general Sima Yuan.

It was one of the darkest and most heavy memories in the history of the Yao Kingdom, the enraged King Zhao Min ordered the execution of more than 30,000 captured Yao soldiers and slaughtered two cities. The refugees from distant countries cried and prayed to the sky, but their prayers could not reach the distant imperial capital, let alone Yi Huaiyu's ears - no one knew that during that period of time, Yi Huaiyu's heart was almost empty.

When Yi Huaiyu rushed back to the imperial capital in the starry night, the harem of the former dynasty was in chaos, and even Sui Liang automatically took on the task of dealing with the mess, while Yi Huaiyu walked in a hurry, walking towards Shen Junfang's residence with full of worries.

"It's freshly boiled, drink it while it's hot."

"It didn't work...... Drinking these pills doesn't have any effect, so I might as well hurry up and do something more......"

"Can't you just think it's for me? You're going to let me watch you die? ”

"If it's for you...... It is even more important to find out the mastermind behind the scenes......"

Standing in front of the door, listening intently to the conversation coming from the room, Yi Huaiyu clearly distinguished who the two voices belonged to—the weak Shen Junfang, and the sobbing Sima Tulan.

Yi Huaiyu suddenly understood something, and a hoarse and self-deprecating smile was as cold as ice.
