Chapter 744 The Fu Building Will Fall

In order to stabilize people's hearts, the Queen ordered that the great victory in Youzhou be immediately spread among the people, and widely publicized that this was the contribution of Hou Suxian of Fanyang County.

Regarding Qian Zhongshu's proposal to lead troops on an expedition, the Queen thought about it again and again, and finally gave a negative answer, because it seemed that it was not necessary at the moment.

Princess Lanling finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and took the lead in complimenting: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The other prime ministers seconded the proposal.

Qian Zhongshu was also included, but with an ugly face, he said fiercely in his heart:

"Youzhou just won the battle once. It doesn't mean that Su Xian never escaped from the battle."

"Just wait, wait until the moment the Liao army arrives at the city of Shendu, and see if Su Xian, whom you have high hopes for, will show up!"

"When that time comes, it will be a good opportunity for His Highness and I to turn over."

"..."

outside the palace.

The news of Youzhou's great victory has swept the whole city.

Su Xian's contribution and his past "records" were also strongly emphasized.

The people's attention was quietly shifted, and while they breathed a sigh of relief, they were all discussing whether Su Xian could turn the tide and help the building to collapse.

The result of the discussion was that most people chose to believe Su Xian.

Because there are really too many miracles that have happened to Su Xian, giving people a feeling of "omnipotence".

This time should be no exception.

Based on this, most of the panic and rumors in the city of God disappeared immediately, and the mood of the people became stable. The Queen was very satisfied after learning about it...

Tang House.

In Tang Shuwan's yard, Liu Huixiang was also there. The two girls had just received the news of Youzhou's victory, and they couldn't help holding hands and crying with joy.

They knew that Su Xian had an earth-shattering plan. The plan was extremely sinister and they could not do much to help them. They could only burn incense in front of the Guanyin statue and pray:

"May your husband (brother) be safe and sound!"

"May your husband's plan succeed!"

"May the world be peaceful!"

"..."

At the same time, news of the great victory in Youzhou also swept through all the major families in the divine capital.

Needless to say, the Tang family needs to say that Su Xian is the future son-in-law of the Tang family. They naturally hope that everything goes well for Su Xian. It would be even better if they could support the general.

This is a unique feat.

The Tang family will also be able to follow suit in the future...

Lin House.

Everyone in the Lin family was happy, but at the same time they felt very heartbroken and regretful. They should have ignored it in the first place and sent the Lin family's legitimate daughter to Yingzhou to cook the rice before they could get married to Su Xian.

But everything is too late, eh.

While everyone in the Lin family was sighing, Lin Chuan happened to sneak out of the Lin Mansion. After hearing the news, his face straightened leisurely, he clenched his fists and looked up to the sky and said:

"Brother Su, we are good brothers, and good brothers should help each other! You are busy working for Daliang, brother, how can I go to a brothel to have fun again?"

Lin Chuan resolutely turned around and returned home.

However, the moment the door of the mansion was closed, the concierge heard him whisper: "Go back tomorrow!"

"..."

Su House.

After the Su family received the news of Youzhou's great victory, everyone in the Su family was solemn. The servants all shut their mouths tightly and were cautiously vigilant, for fear of being used as a punching bag by their masters.

The head of the Su family summoned the elders to discuss matters in the living room. After some discussion, their views on the matter were the same as Qian Zhongshu's.

They all thought that the victory in Youzhou was just a coincidence and that Su Xian had actually escaped from the battle.

"Hmph, the imperial court held that rebellious son and bastard up so high, and then supported the building to collapse? Haha." The head of the Su family sneered and said loudly:
"That treacherous son, that bastard, realized that the situation was not right. He must have already escaped from the battlefield and fled into the mountains to save his life. It is no more than a fool's dream to expect that treacherous son to help the bridge!"

"I'll be waiting here. If that traitor really shows up and helps the beam, I'll... just bump into the corner and die."

"..."

Liu family.

The head of the Liu family was drunk and unconscious as usual. News of the great victory in Youzhou came. After he was woken up by his servants, he was overjoyed and prepared to visit Fan Yanghou's mansion in person.

However, he failed to make the trip in the end and fell to the ground like a hangover, drinking and cursing at the same time, looking very decadent.

It turns out that the entire Liu family is being monitored by a powerful force at all times. It is impossible for anyone from the Liu family to visit Fan Yanghou's mansion, and it is impossible to see Liu Huixiang's face!

In fact, this was all Su Xian's arrangement.

That powerful force is the inner guard. Su Xian doesn't want Liu Huixiang to be sad about the past, so the only way is to cut off contact with the Liu family...

at the same time.

In a private room of an inn in the city, Li Qingniu was giving a little boy an injection while saying to Zhou Wei beside him:
"Judging from the current situation, Su Xiaozi's plan should have failed. Even if Youzhou is victorious, it doesn't mean anything..."

"Hey, such a good seedling was trapped in Liao territory. He should not have been allowed to go when he was a teacher!"

Li Qingniu shook his head again and again.

"If I stay with Junior Brother, Junior Brother will be fine."

Zhou Wei looked dissatisfied, because in the past few days after arriving in the divine capital, Li Qingniu wouldn't let him leave at all. The legendary brothel... is still just a legend!
Li Qingniu heard his dissatisfaction and couldn't help but glared and scolded:

"We can't stay here for long. We will set off back to Butterfly Valley tomorrow. You can go down and make arrangements. Even if the gate of the Divine Capital is closed, it shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Yes." Zhou Wei could only nod.

……

The news of Youzhou's great victory was not only spread in the divine capital city.

Later, Nanchu, located directly south of Daliang, heard this important news through special channels.

Yuezhou.

Green Grass Lake.

Deep inside a huge mansion.

Yang Zong, the remnant of the previous dynasty, once again invited the key members of the clan to discuss matters. He first announced the news of the Liao army's arrival at Taiyuan City and the victory in Youzhou, and then sneered:

"It seems that the Empress of the Liang Dynasty is really at the end of her rope. Is an irrelevant victory in Youzhou worth writing about? She has done everything possible to stabilize the people's hearts."

Someone laughed:

"According to our detailed investigation, Su Xian disappeared more than a month ago and is still missing. I'm afraid... he was killed by the spies sent by the Liao Kingdom a long time ago, right?"

"Probably!"

"Then if Su Xian died at the hands of Liao's spies, it would be an advantage for him. This man has repeatedly undermined our major events. His crimes are unforgivable. He really deserves to be cut to death by a thousand cuts!"

"However, no matter how much the Empress of the Liang Dynasty conceals it, it is an indisputable fact that the Liao army is approaching Taiyuan City. The Liang Dynasty is in danger!"

"When our opportunity comes, we should send troops immediately to form a north-south pincer attack with the Liao army..."

"..."

When Yang Zong heard this, he waved his hand and said calmly:

"Don't worry for the moment, the Liao cavalry is coming fiercely and is in great momentum, and the Liang Dynasty will also defend Chang'an and Shendu to the death. There will be a life-and-death battle between them."

"The best time for us to take action is when both of them are exhausted. After all, our troops are limited, and good steel must be used on the blade!"

All the backbones nodded, this makes sense.

Thinking that victory was just around the corner, they began to dream about the wonderful life that was about to come. They were even discussing what kind of prince you would make and what kind of king I would make.

Only one person remained calm.

That person was none other than Yang Ruoxian, who was slender and wearing a tulle face.

Her intuition told her that Su Xian was not killed by Liao spies. He was still alive, and he would definitely achieve a magnificent turn in the near future!
But this was just her intuition, with no real evidence.

So she remained silent and waited.

……

When night fell, Nan Chen, who was far to the southeast, also received the news through the hands of the secret guard.

Emperor Chen, King Li, and most of the courtiers were not optimistic about Daliang, thinking that Daliang would lose this battle!

Because Chen Keyan promoted Liang Chen's cooperation, she naturally became the target of their attack and ridicule.

In this regard, Chen Keyan remained reclusive and ignored it. She believed that time would prove everything.

at the same time.

The Shu Kingdom, located southwest of Daliang, also received the news.

Although Emperor Shu had enmity with Liao, he had no intention of making friends with Daliang. After hearing the news, he clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"The snipe and the clam are fighting for the fishermen's profit. You can fight, the more miserable the better. In the end, I will regain the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and fulfill the late emperor's last wish!"

The imperial concubine Zhang Meiniang was sitting nearby. When she heard the word "Su Xian" in the message, she couldn't help but lose consciousness for a moment, thinking of the indulgence and fun that night...

Emperor Shu turned his head to look at Zhang Meiniang and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine, I feel very happy today. Besides, I haven't appreciated my beloved concubine's dance for a long time. Why don't you dance one?"

Zhang Meiniang pursed her lips, slowly stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. I've been feeling unwell lately. I'm afraid I can't dance. I..."

"That's it."

Emperor Shu was a little disappointed, but he also ordered: "Since my beloved concubine is unwell, please go back and have a good rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Meiniang left quickly and returned to her bedroom, the Hall of Ecstasy.

Looking at the face that was stained with Su Xian's scent, she slowly lay down on it, her eyes closed gently, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

……

……

The next day.

girders.

Gods.

Miyagi.

Vientiane Shrine, main hall.

At dawn, the Queen, monarchs and ministers have gathered here.

Because the war situation in the north suddenly became tense again:

Ganzhou, Liangzhou and other places along Longyou Road were all lost. The Liao army cut off the connection between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. The situation of the countries in the Western Regions and the Beiting Protectorate was unknown.

Yuanzhou and Qingzhou in the Guan Nei Dao were successively conquered by the Liao army. Tens of thousands of Liao troops marched towards the Guanzhong Plain, and the situation was precarious.

Although the Liao army on Hedong Road was blocked by Taiyuan, the battle report said that the Liao army actually learned the siege warfare that the soldiers of the Central Plains were good at, and had all kinds of ladders, siege vehicles, etc.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Liao army was able to conquer several states in one day.

Last night, the Liao army continued to attack the city of Taiyuan. The news returned by the scouts was not very good, giving people the feeling that Taiyuan could not stop the Liao army from moving south.

The situation in Hebei Province is the best. The tens of thousands of Liao troops led by Nalanxiong personally have never been able to break through the "Jimen Pass" natural barrier, and even the walls of Youzhou City have not been seen.

However, the victory in Hebei Province did not bring much sense of security to the queen, monarch and ministers.

If the Liao army breaks through Taiyuan, there is no doubt that Shendu City will be directly exposed to the Liao army's cavalry...

In the past few days, the queen, monarch and ministers have been very busy, deploying troops and generals in various places, demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall.

The Queen's body had never recovered from her old illness, and after all this suffering, she was actually on the verge of collapse.

But she gritted her teeth and insisted that the Liang Dynasty was experiencing internal and external troubles, and she must not fall ill at such a time.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

After some time.

A scout walked into the hall and brought shocking news——

A Liao army, with more than [-] riders, bypassed the unconquered Taiyuan City and headed south towards the Shendu City!

"presumptuous!"

The Queen slapped the case and stood up. Long Yan was furious and scolded:

"The Liao thieves are disgusting. They look down on my Daliang soldiers so much. Ten thousand soldiers dare to come straight to our capital. You really think that I, Daliang, can't be squeezed out of mud!"

"..."

The Queen's anger was not without reason.

In ancient times, battles were usually carried out from city to city, and would not be easily bypassed, because if a lone army went deep into the city, it would run into the risk of being attacked from both sides and having its supply lines cut off.

And those [-] Liao army cavalry actually bypassed Taiyuan, which was still standing, and headed south to the divine capital. Aren't they afraid of the risk of being attacked from both sides?
The only explanation is that they are not afraid.

Because they firmly believed that these [-] cavalry alone would be enough to take down the city of God, and then destroy the entire Daliang Dynasty!
What do they think of the beam?

Such contempt!
As the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, how could the queen not be angry about this?

However, if you are angry, you must be angry. The [-] Liao army is coming fiercely. You have to find a way to deal with it, right?
The Queen suppressed the anger in her heart, mobilized garrisons from surrounding states and counties to intercept, and at the same time strengthened the defense around the divine capital, preparing for the worst...

Time flies, and it's already an hour later.

In the main hall of the Vientiane Shrine, the empress and ministers waited quietly. All the arrangements that should be made have been made, and now it depends on God's will.

"Report-"

Finally, the battle report from the front came.

The Queen and the prime ministers were shocked. After a few breaths, the scouts entered the palace and loudly announced:
"Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that the [-] Liao troops who marched south alone were intercepted by the garrison troops stationed in Qinzhou, Zezhou, Xiangzhou and other places. They were almost completely wiped out. The remaining [-] soldiers escaped from Luzhou in embarrassment."

"..."

After the words fell behind, the Queen and others froze in place, like sculptures, and actually wiped out all the [-] Liao troops, so this is... a victory?

The Queen's heart was beating fast and she couldn't believe it.

Later, the scout repeated what he had just said, and then the Queen and her ministers accepted the news of victory. The hall suddenly seemed like a pot was exploding, and there was endless discussion.

This incident shows that the closer the garrison is to the divine capital, the stronger its combat effectiveness will be.

The overwhelming Liao cavalry in places such as Daizhou and Shuozhou were almost completely wiped out near Shendu. This is an indisputable fact!
The queen was overjoyed.

It turned out that the soldiers in Daliang were not as weak as imagined, at least the garrison near Shendu was very strong.

With the existence of these backbones, there is finally hope for Daliang to recover.

The queen was very pleased.

But at this moment, the scout continued:
"In order to kill the [-] Liao troops, the garrisons supported by the various states lost a total of more than [-] people! There are almost no garrisons in Luzhou, Zezhou, Qinzhou, Xiangzhou and other places. Please make your decision."

"What did you say?"

The queen's expression suddenly changed, her heart beat violently, and she almost stirred up an old illness. She stared at the scout and asked:
"In order to snipe the [-] Liao troops, we lost...[-] soldiers and horses? There are no more garrison defenses in Luzhou, Zezhou and other places? This...this is impossible!"
