emperor cold concubine

Chapter 196
On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month in the 21st year of Emperor Ming of the Cang Yue calendar, there was another good news from Gale Fengqi who fought in South Vietnam.

After Shuhe led 23 troops to capture Jingcheng in Nanyue at the end of April, Xue Qian was imprisoned and then executed. The second general Zhongsun Yisheng issued a military order before the school grounds, and 30 troops gathered in Jingcheng. Outside the city, he wants to fight to the death with Shuhe to recover the lost city and dignity of South Vietnam.

With an army of 30, Shu He didn't panic. He stood on the city wall with a smile on his face. His fiery red war robe and cape set off his slender and thin body like a leopard ready to go. He was full of danger and willful aura.A cheerful smile appeared on that too young and too handsome face, with supercilious self-confidence and arrogance, and his spirit was flying high.

The crowd of 30 elite soldiers ran like thunder when they ran, and even more loudly during the war, drawing a heavy pressure on everyone's hearts.However, in Shu He's eyes, those 30 elite soldiers seemed to be just the smallest ants among thousands of people, and they didn't even notice him.

All the soldiers under his command were puzzled. The general seemed to have a plan in mind, but he refused to order the battle. For several days in a row, he just stood on the top of the city with a smile and watched every day.

After three days passed, everyone finally understood.

30 soldiers went to the battlefield, but the food and grass did not know where to go.

For the soldiers to go out, food and grass must be prepared first. Before Zhong Sunyi led the army to leave the capital, the accompanying food and grass were only enough for 30 soldiers for five days. It's not something to worry about at all.

However, things always have some accidents that cannot be controlled by everyone at the most critical moment.

The news spread overwhelmingly to the ears of every soldier in the South Vietnamese Army. The war was imminent, but the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households could not prepare food and grass. Grain merchants all over the country raised the price of grain. Originally, one tael of silver could buy two stones of rice, but now However, the price has abruptly increased tenfold, and the sale of grain is controlled. The imperial court is holding a lot of money, but the amount of grain and grass that can be purchased every day is less than 3 people.

The 30 army was suddenly panicked. No matter how well-trained they were, how could they fight with peace of mind without food and grass?
So Shuhe waited for another two days with peace of mind, and the news spread like snowflakes. The emperor and his harem concubines drank and had fun in the palace every day, indulged in sensuality, and every imperial meal must have one hundred and eight extremely luxurious dishes. The Nanyue army did not know who started it, and gradually spread the news that the emperor was fatuous and that Nanyue would destroy the country.

When 30 people were dizzy from hunger before the battle, Shuhe stood on the high city wall and said with a smile: "General Zhongsun, there are dozens of granaries in Jingcheng where I, Cang Yue, just stationed in the village, There is a lot of rice, if you are willing to surrender today, this general promises to treat the general and all the soldiers well and promise not to kill a single soldier."

"Fart!" Zhong Sunyi was so frightened that he couldn't choose what to say, even if he couldn't figure it out anyway, why did the grain merchants from all over the country dare to offend the imperial court so recklessly, while the army was desperately defending their homes and the country? He firmly controlled the food in his hands, but his dignity as a general and the military order issued by Sheng Jia made him absolutely not bow down for this small setback.

After being scolded as "fart", Shu He became furious, his fiery temper exploded, and he ordered the city gates to be opened. There was no one waiting to enter the city, only pots of rice porridge with a strong aroma, and he was already hungry How could a soldier for a few days resist such a temptation? Once the morale of the army is shaken, it will be out of control.

Just at this time, the emperor issued an imperial decree, ordering Zhong Sunyi to lead his army to recapture Jingcheng, and if he disobeyed the order, he would be executed without mercy.

The 30 soldiers were starved to death, and the emperor himself indulged in luxury every day, ignored the soldiers who were on the verge of life and death, and did not want to deliver food and grass to solve the urgent needs. The soldiers no longer have the slightest fighting spirit, and they can't think of whose home and country they are defending with their lives.

Abandoning weapons and surrendering came too naturally, even if Zhong Sunyi had the ability to reach the sky, he still couldn't turn the tide at this time.

There was no suspense in the next situation, without the enemy's army blocking, Shuhe led the army, and took three cities one after another, reaching Hanxi, the capital of Nanyue.

When the army arrived at the main gate of the palace, Shuhe ran into He Qing, the second prince of Nanyue who was always in the dark and guarding the palace like a ghost, and more than a hundred of his "green nightmares" who were said to have superb martial arts.

When the news reached Cang Hao, it was already May [-]th, and at that time, he was watching the battle between the two armies on the school field outside the city.

Standing high on the stage, Cang Hao was reclining on a soft couch in a snow suit, with a magnificent figure, his chin resting lazily on one hand, his deep phoenix eyes casually looking at the scene of the confrontation between the two armies on the huge school field , The corners of the mouth raised slightly, like a smile but not a smile.

The heartstrings are tense, and the atmosphere is extraordinarily tense.

The two armies confronting each other have a huge disparity in number and strength.Winning or losing is almost self-evident.

However, facing the menace of the [-] troops on the opposite side, the three thousand cavalry in all purple robes were expressionless, without a trace of fear on their faces. If you looked carefully, you could even faintly see the look of disdain emerging from the bottom of everyone's eyes.

Nan Feng knelt down in front of him, pinched Cang Hao's legs carefully, and said in a low voice: "Master, is Mr. Shu sure of victory against the elusive 'Green Nightmare'?"

Complete victory, of course, does not mean tens of thousands of people against more than a hundred people. Nanfeng asked whether Shuhe's own strength can compete with the legendary 'Green Nightmare'.

Cang Hao smiled faintly, "In terms of his own strength, Shu He will not be his opponent, and He Qing's martial arts, perhaps only Chang Ting can compete with him."

Nan Feng also smiled, "But Mr. Shu will definitely not lose."

Shuhe's temperament, how can he be a master who easily surrenders?
Cang Hao said leisurely: "Don't worry, the next battle report will arrive soon."

The phoenix eyes swept across the distance, the flag fluttered, and the two armies faced each other. The purple robes had quickly put up a formation to block a hundred. Facing the elite Tiger Army army among hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all humility and pride had long been thrown aside. .The three thousand purple-clothed riders were all confident that they would win, but no one dared to imagine the incalculable consequences of losing the duel due to arrogance or underestimation of the opponent.

The fuyi array was created by Cang Hao himself and taught by himself. After countless drills, the blood on the Ziyi cavalry has almost melted into one, but so far, it has not really exerted its power once.
