emperor cold concubine

Chapter 400 Qi Qi Furious

On the sixth day of June, the Lan Kingdom formally declared war on Cang Yue in the name of revenge for Princess Lian Xin, and Prince Liancheng issued an order to seek justice from Emperor Cang Yue and the Queen Regent.

Shuhe led an army of 40 from the capital of South Vietnam, traveling day and night, and in only six days, he arrived at Ancheng, where almost all the soldiers and horses were evacuated in the south of Lan Kingdom.

Ancheng is one of the most important frontier defenses of the Lan Kingdom. The soldiers and horses were almost exhausted. Shuhe didn't even have the strength to drink water.

"Lan Kingdom sent 40 troops, intending to break through Cang Yue and avenge Princess Lianxin... Ninth brother, Cangzhou Fengwang only has [-] troops, how can he be an opponent?"

On the small pear blossom wood table, the military defense map replaced the chess game. Cang Hao and Xie Changting sat opposite each other, and Shisi stood aside, looking at the marks marked by Xie Changting on the map, his sword eyebrows frowned.

Cang Hao seemed to really intend to train this young man to become a veritable general. Hearing this, he smiled faintly: "Shu He has already led the army to force the imperial capital of the Lan Kingdom, and the battle of Cangzhou cannot be fought."

"Huh?" Fourteen frowned puzzledly, "Shuhe seized the imperial capital of the Lan Kingdom, and if the 40 troops of the Lan Kingdom conquer Cangzhou, they can still break through the city all the way to Cangyuefeng City, why can't they fight?" ? Are the [-] soldiers and horses of Brother Da Huang so powerful?"

"Use your brain." Cang Hao glanced at him lightly, "It's not difficult for an army of 40 to break through Cangzhou, but they are also human..."

"Oh, I understand." A flash of inspiration flashed in Fourteen's mind, "They are also human beings, they need to eat and drink, and all the finances and supplies of food and grass are prepared by the court. If Shuhe destroys the capital of the Lan Kingdom, they The reserve supply will be cut off in the middle, the army will have no rice to cook, and they will soon follow in the footsteps of South Vietnam."

Cang Hao nodded, but didn't make a sound, just looked at him casually.

Under such gazes, Shisi seemed a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes, and said again: "Shuhe's attack on the city is like a broken bamboo, they should have already got the news, why hasn't there been any movement of soldiers returning to rescue until now?"

Cang Hao ignored him, raised his eyes to look at Xie Changting opposite, and smiled faintly: "If you have any questions, you might as well ask the prime minister."

Fourteen was taken aback, and his eyes turned to Xie Changting, who had been staring at the border defense map quietly, and said very politely: "Prime Minister."

Xie Changting smiled faintly: "The crown prince of Lan Kingdom is stupid and ignorant. He dared to send him to lead the army even if he didn't know the identity of his generals. His fate is already doomed."

After a pause, he said again: "The Seventh Prince Lian who lives in the cold palace—"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, Shisi looked at him in puzzlement, he didn't understand why he stopped in the middle of what he said, just felt strange, but heard Xie Changting say: "The seventh prince is withdrawn, but his martial arts are extremely high , Although they are not favored, these secretly accumulated forces should not be underestimated, and Liancheng's ignorance of this point was the most fatal mistake he made."

"Prime Minister means..." Fourteen frowned and thought for a while, "Although the general who led the army in Cangzhou was ordered by Liancheng on the surface, he actually has someone else?"

Xie Changting nodded: "It should be so."

Should be so right?

Fourteen looked at him strangely. Xie Changting, who was always confident, would use such an uncertain tone of voice when he spoke?
Xie Changting looked away from the border defense map, looked at Cang Hao on the opposite side, and smiled slightly: "This move was made by the master, Changting can only guess roughly, and he is not completely sure. The Seventh Prince, who was Witnessing with my own eyes that my mother and concubine were pushed down the pond by Liancheng himself, and died in the West Paradise. After so many years of being wronged and begged for justice, I endured everything, just looking for an opportunity to kill Liancheng with one move..."

Fourteen's expression was very confused. He looked at Xie Changting, then at his ninth brother, and finally couldn't help asking: "The seventh prince, what's his name?"

What he was curious about was why Xie Changting stopped suddenly after saying only one word, never mentioning his name again.

Was it because he didn't know, or that the Seventh Prince didn't have a name at all?
Xie Changting didn't speak, Cang Hao said casually: "Changting, I don't shy away from these things, you don't have to take this matter too seriously."

"For the sake of his willingness to cooperate with the master, Changting's willingness to spare his life is already very kind." Xie Changting smiled lightly, "Otherwise, when Changting found out his details at the end of last month, he would have ordered someone to kill him. him."

Shisi stood aside, surprised and inexplicable. He didn't know what they meant, and felt really uncomfortable, so he could only open his mouth and say, "Ninth Brother..."

Xie Changting turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently: "Do you understand why Cangzhou can't fight anymore?"

Fourteen was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Understood. But Lan Country's 40 versus Shangshuhe's 40, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose. After all, Lan Country is not Shuhe's territory. It’s no longer cheap.”

"If Shu He knew that you underestimated him, he would definitely get angry." After saying this lightly, Xie Changting said, "How is your tiger army settled?"

"What's the matter?" Fourteen was puzzled, "Isn't it just camping in the valley to cultivate oneself?"

"Where's the original 30 troops at the Nai border? Has it settled down?"

Fourteen curled his lips: "They are too tough. They provoke troubles every now and then, and usually they only need to be taught a little lesson. Yesterday, they committed a life and death crime on the head of a purple-clothed rider, mocking them for wearing the emperor's clothes. Is it intended to rebel? The three thousand purple-clothed cavalry were furious, and killed hundreds of leaders among them without mercy, and then stepped down the Jiugong formation, trapping 30 soldiers and horses for a whole day and night. This morning, the purple-clothed cavalry withdrew from the formation, and everyone She's as good as a cat without its claws, it doesn't even dare to fart, how dare it make a fuss?"

Purple has always been noble. In many dynasties, it represented the emperor, and only the emperor could wear purple, but Fourteen knew that the purple cavalry was trained by Cang Hao himself, and the purple robe represented recognition. It is a reward, and it means that they are the iron cavalry army belonging to the emperor.

If Cang Hao hadn't already issued an order not to kill, just based on those few words, the border gate of 30 people would have been bloody at this moment.

In normal times, the 30 army has a numerical advantage, which is enough to compete with the Huben army and the Ziyi cavalry. However, due to the sudden change at this time, the morale of the generals has been completely lost. With almost no combat power left, it is reasonable to be taught a terrible lesson.

"Qiqi furious?" Xie Changting twitched his brows lightly, "Are you sure you saw their furious fury?"
