To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 274 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

The victory at the front line, Qiao Rong's pregnancy, was simply joy on top of joy. That night, Zhao Chao personally poured the wine and made You Miao drunk.Throwing him in the palace again, You Miao's worries for many days were swept away, and finally he was no longer tense. Although there are still many things to do in the future, at least they have successfully won the first match. Crucial tough battle.

The north-south situation has completely reversed so far, and Apocalypse finally has the upper hand.

You Miao was lying on the imperial couch, groggy, and his mind was buzzing. At one moment, he was the gold and iron horse in the north, and at another moment, it was the peach blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River. Tens of thousands of horses were rushing and fighting, and the peach blossoms were gone. Qiao Rong held a child under an umbrella, and smiled at him.

"Ziqian." Qiao Rong's voice whispered, "Wake up."

You Miao had a splitting headache, sat up, Qiao Rong's eyes were red, and told the maid: "Quickly take the hangover soup and give it to Uncle Guo."

You Miao coughed a few times and asked Qiao Rong to sit up straight. Qiao Rong personally brought the decoction for sobering up. You Miao just took a few sips before she vomited all over the bed.

"Let me sleep again..." You Miao fell down again.

Qiao Rong said: "Ziqian! Get up quickly, something serious happened on the front line!"

You Miao was startled suddenly, half sobered up, Qiao Rong said again: "Quickly bring a set of Your Majesty's casual clothes and put them on for Uncle Guo... Your third brother is waiting for you in the study, Ziqian!"

You Miao said: "Wait... what happened?"

You Miao calmed down, looked at Qiao Rong, and tried hard to make sure that she was not dreaming. What caught her eyes was Qiao Rong's sad face, and You Miao's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't care about changing clothes, got up and pushed the palace guards away, walked straight to the imperial study room, opened the door without saying hello, and saw Zhao Chao's expression in the study room was like that of a dead person.Tang Hui, who was blindfolded with a black cloth, was there, Ping Xi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Li Yan were there. In addition, there was a messenger from the front line kneeling on the ground.

The desks in the imperial study had been overturned, papers and memorials were scattered all over the floor, Zhao Chao collapsed on the chair, like a fish out of water, only breathing out, not in.A palace official is pinching someone for Zhao Chao.

"Impossible... This is impossible..." Zhao Chao said in despair.

At that moment, You Miao really felt as if he had been struck by five thunders, and he couldn't stand shaking. The thing he feared the most finally happened.

"Defeated?" You Miao asked tremblingly: "How many people were lost? Didn't the good news come in the morning?"

"General Nie leads the army to hunt down Batu." Pingxi's voice couldn't help shaking: "In the east of Liang, we encountered a surprise attack from the Dog Rong tribe, and the entire [-] cavalry was wiped out. Surrender...to death."

You Miao burst into tears and knelt on the ground.

Ping Xi choked with sobs: "Xin Bao came back in a hurry, but it was a day late..."

You Miao touched her head to the ground and cried loudly. Zhao Chao couldn't stop trembling and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The front-line army newspapers were delivered like water, Tianqi was shocked and the whole country could not believe that Nie Dan died in battle. Even You Miao seemed to be in a dream for several days, always thinking that Nie Dan would come back.Just like when the Central Plains fell, the enemy just sent Nie Dan's wristbands and waist badges.

Li Zhifeng collected all the troops from both sides, put them under his command, and camped under Languan, waiting for the imperial court's order.

Ten days later, Nie Dan's coffin was sent back to Yangzhou.

On the ten-mile long street, everyone cried bitterly, and tens of thousands of people rushed out of the street, crying loudly holding their coffins.

Along with Lingshu, there was also Li Zhifeng's military report.You Miao read the content of the military newspaper in the court.

"After Daleke captured General Nie, the dog army had split into two factions. One faction insisted on being pro-Southern, while the other was willing to conclude a treaty with Tatars. And because the eldest brother was an undercover agent among the Quanrong tribe in the past, he was punished as a traitor... After Gegen planned to kill the eldest brother, Daleko knew that the hatred between the Southern Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty would not be resolved overnight, so he had to agree to the Tatar contract condition……"

"I entrust the dead men of the clan to sacrifice several people, steal the body of the elder brother, seal the coffin and send it back, and put it in the ground for safety. The elder brother always said that the killing was too heavy. Thousands of soldiers died because of him. If one day falls into the enemy's hands, it must be The law of heaven is reincarnated, you don't have to be blinded by hatred, and you don't have to take revenge and outrageous actions. Everything is based on the safety of the country..."

"The opportunity for the division of the dog army can be seized. The Tatar situation is over... Before this year, we can quickly capture Yanbian and enter Da'an... Please Your Majesty..."

You Miao read to the end, and saw the line "Please send Ziqian to help me, your majesty, great things can be accomplished", she didn't dare to say it in front of the ministers, and changed her words: "...please your majesty... be decisive... order to send troops as soon as possible."

After reading the military newspaper, the hall was dead silent.

"With the strength of Li Zhifeng alone, it is impossible to make independent decisions on the frontline fighters." Ping Xi took the lead.

You Miao said: "I can rush to Languan to assist."

Zhao Chao said: "Are you kidding me? The prime minister of a country leads the army in person?!"

You Miao also knew that once Nie Dan died, all the frontline troops would be on Li Zhifeng's shoulders. Although Li Zhifeng had followed Nie Dan for many years, he was a colleague by name and a sworn brother in fact, but in terms of the art of war, he was more like a master-student.He didn't dare to take the risk of handing over the army to Li Zhifeng.

Li Yandao: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, has Li Zhifeng communicated with the Quan Rong clan?"

You Miao said: "Generals must have their own channels to investigate military situations. Could it be possible to send anyone as an undercover agent and tell Li Hanlin one by one?"

Li Yan said angrily: "What's going on with General Nie being an undercover agent?! Can you guarantee that Li Zhifeng didn't leak the news deliberately for the sake of aggressiveness?"

"Li Zhifeng wants to sell General Nie!" You Miao also roared angrily, "He wouldn't have rescued you, a bastard from the north!"

Li Yan was not afraid at all, and shouted: "It is extremely dangerous for him to pass on news to Quan Rong. Even if he has no intention of doing so, how do you know that Darleko didn't use his tricks?!"

"Enough!" Zhao Chao roared angrily, and the court was silent.
