The next day, the imperial capital of Great Xia was 100 miles away in the east, Qing'an.

Qing'an Yuan is a secluded and peaceful village, surrounded by mountains, with cascading mountains and picturesque scenery, like a paradise.

The morning mist glows with colourful light, ploughing oxen swaying through the paddy fields, cooking smoke curls up among the trees, and the laughter of children echoes ethereally.

Everything seemed so simple and natural, but no one knew that His Majesty, the supreme emperor, the lord of the Great Xia Dynasty, was sleeping peacefully in a bamboo hut at the moment.

Outside the fence courtyard wall, Guo Da and Xu Chu, dressed as woodcutters, were like two door gods, motionless at the gate of the courtyard.

A few steps away under the big willow tree, Zhao Gao was dressed as a bookkeeper, overlooking the quiet and peaceful village, and sighed secretly.

His Majesty is really calm, most of the south of the world is in one piece, and His Majesty still has the leisure to go to this kind of place to play in the mountains and rivers and cultivate one's self-cultivation.

However, he also knew that although His Majesty looked like he was out of the way on the surface, and he did not mobilize a single soldier of Great Xia to directly participate in the war of the Five Kingdoms, in fact, the war situation and trend of the Five Kingdoms were completely in His Majesty's mind.

Your Majesty is even leading the war as an outsider!

This kind of wisdom of quietly playing with the powerful enemies of all parties is even more admirable and awe-inspiring.

If there is no will of His Majesty, if there is no secret disturbance in Great Xia, I am afraid that after last night, the death knell of the Yunbo Dynasty will be completely sounded, and the David Dynasty will not last half a month!

However, changes have already appeared!

I don't know how long it has been, but suddenly there was a series of movements in the courtyard wall.

Another quarter of an hour later, the courtyard door opened, and Xia Ao, who was dressed in a simple black robe, walked out, followed by Shangguan Wan'er and Gu Ruoyun.

Zhao Gao perked up and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty Wan'an~"

Xia Ao smiled and nodded, walked to the ridge and looked at the quiet and picturesque village, took a deep breath of clear and sweet air, and felt relaxed and happy.

"The sound of chickens and dogs is heard from afar, and the green onion cage is open to five clouds. The avenue is simple, and the simplicity is clear. It's really a beautiful sight in the world. ”

Hearing Xia Ao's sigh of emotion, Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, nodding in agreement.

"Your Majesty is very right. Qing'an is full of water like a mirror, but the dust and heart are clear. This place is indeed a rare place of healing in the world, if Your Majesty likes it, why not set up a palace? ”

Gu Ruoyun's beautiful eyes flashed, but she shook her head and smiled.

"A little hook Chen Mo, the Fang Mansion has moved more than ten times. Although my sister's proposal is good, I am afraid that once the palace is established, the simplicity and simplicity here will change the taste, and it will be difficult to have today's beautiful scenery at that time. ”

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly, and then smiled with relief.

"What my sister said is that my sister took it for granted."

"Don't blame my sister, my sister doesn't have the intention of blooming, but I'm just worried that some changes will make it difficult for Your Majesty to enjoy the scene of love......"

Gu Ruoyun bowed to Shangguan Wan'er, with sincere apologies on her face.

"Okay, you two don't have to be humble to each other anymore."

Xia Ao smiled and looked at Zhao Gao, who wanted to speak several times but couldn't interject.

"Tell me, how was the battle last night?"

"Back to Your Majesty, last night, after receiving the message from Mu Qianyue, Yang Jun of the Yunbo Shangzhu Kingdom made a plan and introduced the main force of Qingqiu into a well-designed ambush circle at the cost of the lives of 100,000 loyal and brave soldiers! And also designed a series of interlocking plans such as encirclement points and reinforcements. ”

"After a whole night of fierce fighting, the Qingqiu army suffered more than 400,000 casualties, and after dawn, they had no choice but to retreat and leave the battlefield."

"Although the Yunbo army is completely in control of the situation on the battlefield, the difference in combat power between the two sides is there, so although it has won, it is only a miserable victory."

"In this battle, the Yunbo army suffered more than 700,000 casualties, most of which were the main battle army."

"Now, on the battlefield of Ronglin, Qingqiu only has 500,000 troops left, and Yunbo has more than a million left, of which the main battle army and the city guard army are almost half."

"So, although Yunbo got an unexpected big victory, he was still at a disadvantage."

Zhao Gao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the results of the Ronglin battlefield.

"It seems that Yang Jun does have a few brushes, and it is quite good to be able to obtain such results."

Although Xia Ao was not surprised, he still felt a little emotional.

After all, the gap in combat power between the Qingqiu army and the Yunbo army is like the gap between the Yunbo main battle army and the city guard army.

"What about the east?"

"Back to Your Majesty, last night David's army also sent 180,000 elites to encircle and suppress the elites of the Chu army and the Liang army that infiltrated its hinterland."

"Thanks to the accurate intelligence provided by our side, a total of more than 40,000 elites sent by Da Chu and Da Liang were almost completely wiped out, and only a few scattered fish escaped by chance, and they were no longer able to cause effective damage."

Unlike the Qingqiu Dynasty, although the armies of Daliang and Dachu were slightly stronger than David's, their strength was limited.

is the same elite to elite, David's side is fully prepared, has mental calculations or no intentions, and occupies an absolute numerical advantage, so it is naturally simple to lock in the victory.

"Yes, in this way, Yunbo and David can last a while longer."

Xia Ao bowed his head in satisfaction.

He likes this feeling of being far away and using other countries as pawns at will.

"The reason why Yunbo and David were able to continue their lives against the sky is all due to the blessing of Your Majesty."

Zhao Gao complimented, and then hesitated: "It's just that the old slave is worried that some people may get carried away and ......inflate themselves for a while."

"Swelling?"

Xia Ao chuckled lightly, holding his hands and looking playful.

"It's good if it's inflated, it's not a problem for me if it's inflated, so let them toss first. As soon as this month passes, it's time for my Great Summer to swallow the world! ”

……

Yunbo Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace.

"Really?!"

Yunbo Emperor Mu Lianghuai Huo Ran stood up from the throne, his eyes wide open, and he stared at Prime Minister Ke Xin with surprise and joy.

"Your Majesty, it's true! In this battle, our army killed and wounded 450,000 enemy troops! The enemy army is on the front line, and there are less than half a million soldiers left to fight! ”

Ke Xin nodded heavily, and replied with an extremely excited expression.

"Your Majesty, this is a detailed battle report!"

"Quick! Show it to me! ”

Mu Lianghuai's excited eyes were red, and his right hand pointing to the booklet held by Ke Xin was trembling slightly.

Ever since the Qingqiu army had been racing all the way and unstoppably into the hinterland of Yunbo, he hadn't slept a single peaceful night! Devil knows what kind of days he lives in fear.

Because of the strength of the enemy army, he really couldn't find any psychological comfort, and he couldn't see any hope of victory at all.

Many times, he woke up from a nightmare, which was a nightmare in which the imperial capital was breached, he was dragged from under the throne with a sneer, and then he was stabbed to the head!

It's pitiful, and now, he has got such an unbelievable battle report!

When a eunuch quickly presented the battle report to Mu Lianghuai's hands, when Mu Lianghuai read it at a glance, the ecstatic smile could no longer be contained, and it quickly spread from Mu Lianghuai's face.

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha......ha

Mu Lianghuai laughed loudly, and the undisguised laughter was accompanied by surging Yuan Force, which shook the tiles outside the roof of the main hall to hum softly.

"Good! Good! Good! It is worthy of Shangzhu Country, worthy of my Yunbo Tiger Army, and worthy of my loyal and brave son! ”

"Nearly half of the enemy was destroyed in one battle, and this enemy is still the most powerful, as powerful as the Taiyue Qingqiu Dynasty, such a brilliant result, ask the world, where can it be compared?"

Mu Lianghuai was so excited that he got carried away, and the ministers who came with the prime minister were also overjoyed, and their brows furrowed.

The combat power of the Qingqiu army was like a 10,000-pound boulder, which had been overwhelming them, making them unable to see the slightest hope.

But now, with the results of this battle coming out, the suffocating sense of depression has mostly dissipated.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that the Qingqiu Dynasty was not so terrifying, and they really did not have no hope of winning!

"Your Majesty! In this battle, the enemy lost nearly half of the battle, while our army only lost more than 700,000 troops, and there were more than a million troops, crushing the other party in terms of numbers! ”

"And after this battle, the morale of the enemy army will inevitably be greatly reduced, otherwise, the morale of our army will skyrocket!"

"If the enemy army does not continue to increase its troops, our army has every hope of completely defeating the enemy army and driving it out from the territory of our Yunbo Dynasty!"

"All this is thanks to Your Majesty's protection!"

A minister stepped forward and said excitedly.

Mu Lianghuai smiled even more happily, and his somewhat bent backbone, which was pressed by the huge pressure, straightened up.

The smile on Ke Xin's face froze, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, our army only won a miserable victory in this battle, and half of the remaining million troops are city guards, which means that the overall combat strength of our army has actually decreased a lot."

"And the reason why this battle can be won is because of the key information obtained by the eldest princess from Great Xia, which can turn the crisis into an opportunity and use clever strategies to win."

"But after that, we won't have that chance again. Even if the enemy does not continue to increase its troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to stop ......."

Hearing Ke Xin splash cold water, Mu Lianghuai, who was excited, and the other ministers were a little unhappy.

"The Prime Minister is inevitably a little ambitious and destroys his own prestige, intelligence is the key, but the battle is fought by our soldiers with their lives, and the victory is also exchanged for the lives of our soldiers!"

"Now the morale of our army is like a rainbow, and with Shangzhuguo personally commanding, not to mention taking the initiative to attack and defeat the enemy, there will always be no problem in continuing to defend, right?"

"What Lord Liu said is, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need for us to ask for help from Great Xia at present. After all, we can't predict whether it will be reinforcements or wolves with evil intentions! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees, at least for the time being, there is no need to ask for help, it is better to wait for further changes in the battle situation before making a decision."

As several ministers admonished one after another, Mu Lianghuai, who was already extremely jealous of Great Xia, finally made a decision.

"What you Aiqing said is that I believe in the Shangzhu Kingdom, and I also believe in the loyal and brave sons of Yunbo, and believe that they can resist the invasion of the enemy army!"

"Send a message to the eldest princess and tell her to stop asking for help from Great Xia for the time being. This is my will, and it must be obeyed! ”

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty......"

Prime Minister Ke Xin's face changed slightly, and he wanted to speak out to dissuade him.

However, Mu Lianghuai had already made up his mind and was unwilling to listen at all.

"Alright, I've made up my mind, and there's no need to say anything more about it."

"Now, let's discuss the rewards for the front-line soldiers. They are not afraid of life and death for the peace of my clouds, and the court naturally wants to commend them well, so as to praise their ambitions and strengthen the hearts of the army! ”

Ke Xin's heart was heavy, but he could only sigh helplessly.
