Chapter 240 Zhao Jin's death, Nanhua descended to the country

Chapter 240 Zhao Jin's death, Nanhua descended to the country

It didn't take too long for news to pass between Yucheng and Huadu.

Marquis Wenchang already knew that there was only one outcome of the peace negotiation between Nanhua and Kingdom of Chen, and that was failure. Therefore, during the few days he stayed in the post house, although the ministers in the court were still sparing no effort to deal with Yu Wujue, what was Marquis Wenchang? Not to mention.

And Yu Wujue didn't intend to deal with Nanhua at all, so he directly threw this matter to Yu Wufan.

Naturally, Yu Wufan couldn't stand this kind of thing, and he couldn't get along with the peace negotiating ministers of Nanhua.

After debating for a few days, Marquis Wenchang wrote a note and sent it back to the Nanhua Palace.

Ever since Huangfu Yu fainted from a sudden attack, the days since then have been somewhat depressed. At such a critical time, even the morning court is gone, and the ministers can only see him in Huangfu Yu's bedroom .

In the past two days, news about the peace talks between Nanhua and Chen Kingdom came back one after another. Chen Kingdom's tough attitude always made Huangfu Yu's temper extremely violent. Dare to come out.

In Huangfu Yu's bedroom, the great eunuch, Eunuch Zhang, gave Huangfu Yu the scripture that had been passed down, "Your Majesty, the scripture that Marquis Wenchang sent back from Yucheng."

Huangfu Yu was lying on the bed, his complexion was a little yellow,
Hearing this, he said, "Hurry up and bring it to me to have a look."

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly handed in the folder, and as soon as he took the folder, Huangfu Yu hurriedly opened it. However, just after opening the folder, Huangfu Yu's face became extremely dark in an instant. He also slammed the fold in the book to the ground, "What a Jade Wujue!"

Huangfu Yu almost gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, Eunuch Zhang quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Huangfu Yu's face turned black and then white, his chest heaved and heaved, sitting on the bed, propping up the bed with one hand, staring at the folder he threw on the ground.

Just at this time, the voice of the little eunuch notifying came from outside, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... the imperial concubine please see me."

Huangfu Yu shook his hand abruptly, "No see!"

Seeing this, the little eunuch hurriedly retreated, but Eunuch Zhang endured Huangfu Yu's anger and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here to deliver medicine..."

Outside the sleeping hall, Concubine Xu Gui stood at the door, behind her was a maid with a food box in her hand.

This kind of scene can often be seen in the palace during this period of time. Now, Concubine Xu Gui is taking care of Huangfu Yu's body.

The little eunuch withdrew and said to Concubine Xu, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is busy at the moment, please come back later."

This is just an excuse, in fact, when Concubine Xu Guifei was waiting outside to ask for an audience, she had already heard the voice in the bedroom.

Hearing what the little eunuch said, Concubine Xu Gui didn't feel much at all, she smiled lightly, "I'm here to deliver medicine to His Majesty, after a while, it's time to pass, that's all, you can wait outside, I'll take care of it on my own." Go in, if His Majesty blames it, I will take care of it."

After all, without waiting for the little eunuch to say anything, Concubine Xu Gui took the food box from the maid and stepped into Huangfu Yu's bedroom.

The people in the palace actually understood that since Empress Xu passed away a few years ago, only Concubine Xu Gui could get close to His Majesty, and the rest of the concubines also became a foreshadowing. Therefore, when Concubine Xu said she wanted to go in, the little eunuch also Don't dare to be busy.

After Concubine Xu Gui entered the bedroom, she saw Huangfu Yu sitting on the couch. Huangfu Yu had a bad temper, knowing that Concubine Xu Gui had come in, he scolded, "Go out, I told you, I won't see anyone!"

Concubine Xu Gui kept on walking, still carrying the food box in, "Your Majesty let the concubine go out, and the concubine brought in the medicine, and asked His Majesty to drink it, and then go out, without disturbing His Majesty's eyes."

Concubine Xu's voice was not in a hurry, and when she faced Huangfu Yu, she seemed to always carry that touch of gentleness and tranquility, which inexplicably made people feel at ease. This is why Huangfu Yu has always asked Concubine Xu to follow her The reason around.

Seeing this, Huangfu Yu closed his eyes, but didn't say anything else. He put the food box on the table, opened it, took out the soup inside, and brought it to Huangfu Yu, "Your Majesty, drink it while it's hot, God!" Big things are not as important as your body, if your body is well, what's wrong with it?"

Huangfu Yu took the medicine bowl and drank the soup that Concubine Xu Guifei brought over.

Concubine Xu Gui took the empty bowl and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Huangfu Yu's lips.

Huangfu Yu seemed to have calmed down gradually after experiencing his temper just now.

Eunuch Zhang looked at Concubine Xu Gui for help. Seeing this, Concubine Xu put the medicine bowl on the table beside her, then squatted down, picked up the folder that was still on the ground by Huangfu Yu, and put it on the small bed next to the bed. Come on, "But the battle ahead is tense, and your majesty is too worried?"

Huangfu Yu squinted at the book, and his voice was a bit dark, "Not enough to succeed, more to fail, they are the ones who want to negotiate a peace, now, they can't make a peace, they can't reach an agreement, but they just go back to the palace with the book and ask me what to do! "

Concubine Xu Gui didn't say a word after hearing this, she always knew when to speak and when not to speak.

Huangfu Yu's eyes were gloomy, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the quiet Concubine Xu Gui, "My dear concubine, am I really going to become the lord of subjugation?"

Concubine Xu Gui was stunned for a moment, and then comforted, "How could it be? Your Majesty sincerely seeks peace. Although we can't reach an agreement right now, my lords will definitely do my best."

"Hehe, sincerely ask for peace... Sincerely... who knows, I have no choice but to?" He was agitated for a while, and seemed to be calm again for a while, which didn't look very normal.

However, this kind of time has lasted for a while, and even Eunuch Zhang, who is always by his side, just feels that His Majesty is emotionally unstable because of the current situation, and has nothing to do with it.

Concubine Xu Gui comforted, "The ancestors and ancestors will understand His Majesty's mind and will not blame His Majesty."

This sentence touched Huangfu Yu's mind somehow, his originally calm and sad expression changed suddenly, and he pinched Xu Guifei's wrist tightly, "The ancestors and ancestors will not blame you, even you think I am A waste, is a waste that can't keep Nanhua, right?"

Concubine Xu's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty!"

Even Eunuch Zhang saw Huangfu Yu like this for the first time, and his expression changed drastically, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

However, Huangfu Yu seemed to be unable to hear the sound, and stared at Concubine Xu in front of him, as if he was looking at someone else, and squeezed Concubine Xu's hand more and more tightly, as if he had regained his strength. Throwing Concubine Xu Gui to the other side, "Even you look down on me, ah, you, you all look down on me!"

"You don't take me seriously!"

He threw off Concubine Xu, and Concubine Xu's body was unstable, she was thrown to the ground all of a sudden, her forehead touched the edge of the table, she suddenly felt dizzy.

Huangfu Yu stood on the bed, looking down at Concubine Xu Gui with a gloomy expression.

Seeing this, Eunuch Zhang hurried over, "Your Majesty, are you all right, Your Majesty?"

Concubine Xu Gui shook her head slightly, "Eunuch, Your Majesty's mood is unstable, hurry up and declare the imperial physician!"

The movement in the sleeping hall made everyone in the palace panic. After a while, the imperial physician came in one after another, and Huangfu Yu finally settled down again.

Concubine Xu Guifei sat on the side of the bed, as if her forehead was not injured, "Doctor, how is Your Majesty's health?"

The imperial physician shook his head, "Your Majesty is overthinking. During this period of time, his emotions are extremely unstable. If he is stimulated, he will easily become what he was just now."

Concubine Xu Gui said, "So, do you need to give Your Majesty a prescription?"

The imperial physician nodded, "The old minister will write the prescription again."

After making a fuss for a long time, the sleeping hall became quiet again, and Eunuch Xu said to Concubine Xu, "Your Majesty, there is an old slave here, Your Majesty, please go back and rest first."

Concubine Xu Gui nodded, and after looking at Huangfu Yu again, she left Huangfu Yu's bedroom.

Back in his own bedroom, the maid next to him looked at the bruises on Xu Guifei's forehead and felt distressed, "Your Majesty's forehead is injured, Your Majesty... oh, forget it, this servant will apply some ointment to Your Majesty first."

Concubine Xu Gui said, "It's okay, don't worry."

The lady-in-waiting didn't agree, she went to get the ointment from the cupboard.

Concubine Xu Gui sat on the chair, raised her hand and lightly touched her forehead, but there was a mocking smile on her lips, Huangfu Yu was still like this, he was, and he is now, and he will always have to rely on others to admit that he is not trash!
After Xu Guifei rested in the bedroom for a while, she heard the hurried footsteps of the maid from outside. The maid entered the palace and said in a low voice, "Madam, it's not good. After His Majesty wakes up, he will immediately send someone to search Wenchang. Hou Mansion, Your Majesty believes that the reason Wen Changhou failed to negotiate peace for many days was because of his disloyalty to the country."

After hearing this, Concubine Xu Gui was very calm, and the maid was a little confused, "Your Majesty, you..."

Concubine Xu Gui smiled leisurely, "Our Majesty always likes to push all the faults on others to show that he is right, and search the Marquis Wenchang Mansion, huh! Since the Meng family disappeared, the Marquis Wenchang Mansion has been the center of civil servants in Nanhua. First, Your Majesty is going to kill himself..."

The maid stared blankly at Concubine Xu Gui, but couldn't say anything.

The imperial decree to raid the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion has come down. In Huadu, hundreds of officials came to see him one after another to stop Huangfu Yu's action. Do not enter any language of Baiguan.

The news spread to Yucheng very quickly, and Marquis Wenchang didn't express anything when he heard the news, he just sighed softly.

On the second day, Marquis Wenchang took his peace ministers and Yu Wujue to leave.

Ruan Fu looked at Marquis Wenchang with the same look as when he came here, and said, "Master Hou returns to Huadu, what will happen?"

Marquis Wenchang smiled, with a carefree expression on his face, "The old man knows what the princess wants to say, but this is the order of Marquis Wenchang's mansion, and His Majesty has nothing to do, so he wants to find someone to stand in front of him. Charged with subjugation."

"Since that's the case, why is Hou Ye in a hurry to return to Huadu?"

Marquis Wenchang shook his head, "Your Majesty will not really kill Marquis Wenchang's mansion. The old man is in Huadu, waiting for the army of the prince and princess."

Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu nodded, cupped their hands and said, "Master Hou is safe all the way."

Marquis Wenchang nodded, turned around, and stepped into the carriage.

The peace talks failed, and the war, which had been silent for a while, resumed.

And after the peace negotiation failed, Huangfu Yu seemed to have broken the jar, and directly ordered the Nanhua army on the opposite side of Yucheng to stop the Chen Kingdom's army.

However, if Chen Kingdom's army wants to go there, how can they stop it?

After a short period of peace, Zhao Jin's Zhao family army had left Tuofeng Mountain and withdrew back to Nanhua. It merged with the remaining troops of the Eastern Front in the central part of Nanhua. The Zhao family army who returned to Nanhua seemed to have become the number one in Nanhua again. army.

The Zhao family's army had a total of 20. After they penetrated into Chen Kingdom, they were besieged in Tuofeng Mountain. The Zhao family's army and the rest of Nanhua's army lost more than half. But it survived.

Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu had known this news for a long time, and this was why Yu Wujue tacitly allowed Zhao Jin to bring the Zhao family army back to Nanhua.

Zhao Jin confronted the remaining troops in the east, and then the weather in April and May was fine, and the marching speed of the army was unprecedentedly fast.

In addition, all the way from the north to the south, the deployment of the army seemed to be very appropriate. Zhao Jin took back the four cities of Nanhua one after another as if he was in a desperate situation.

With Zhao Jin's Zhao Family Army as the center, a new camp surrounded by the Chen Kingdom's army was formed in the central part of Nanhua.

When the news spread back to Huadu, Huangfu Yu was overjoyed, and Zhao Jin's return to Nanhua was just like his reassurance. As a result, Huangfu Yu issued another order to fight to the end with the Chen Kingdom's army.

The front and rear of Yucheng are full of flames of war.

However, under such circumstances, Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue, who were in Yucheng, looked relaxed and seemed not to be disturbed by the situation.

Yu Wujue looked at the battle report from behind, the Zhao family army led by Zhao Jin was attacking fiercely.

He passed the news to Ruan Fu, and after Ruan Fu took a look, he put down the note lightly, "With Zhao Jin's intelligence, if he was normal, he would definitely not choose such a fierce attack, no matter how brave the Zhao family army is, It is also difficult to defeat four hands with two fists. Being able to capture four cities in such a short period of time is inherently problematic, but Zhao Jin has no chance and no choice. What a loyal minister and general of Nanhua!"

Yu Wujue said, "Zhao Jin came back with such a fierce attack, even if he knew it was a trap, there was nothing he could do about it. If there was enough time, he might be able to strike behind Yucheng and ease the tension in the battle ahead. Even if he couldn't, Zhao Jin would also That's the only option."

Ruan Fu nodded, tapped the letter with his long fingers, "Wu Jue, let me go to Pingyin, I want to see Zhao Jiajun."

Ruan Fu spoke calmly. Seeing this, Yu Wujue sighed softly, "Since Zhao Jin returned to Nanhua, I knew that sooner or later you would speak to me."

Ruan Fu blinked and looked at him with a smile, "In this case, you must be ready to let me leave temporarily."

Yu Wujue frowned and said, "For now."

Ruan Fu smiled, "Of course it's temporary, I'll be back soon, in fact... I can't say what kind of obsession, but I always have a little obsession with Zhao Jiajun that I can't explain clearly."

Yu Wujue shook her hand, "I see, I'll let Twelve go with you, be careful."

Ruan Fu nodded solemnly.

The fact that the crown princess left Yucheng did not cause any sensation. After all, Ruan Fu's existence in the war was more like a military adviser, and he could only give some pointers at important places or make arrangements for the deployment of the battle.

The two armies were at war, and Yu Wujue continued to guard Yucheng, but behind Yucheng was the Zhao family army and the army of Chen State who were entangled.

Although the four cities of Nanhua were taken back, Zhao's army also suffered heavy losses. In addition to all the soldiers on the eastern front, after the recovery of the cities, the soldiers and horses guarding the cities were all left in Zhao Jin's hands. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Now, soldiers and horses of Chen Kingdom are fighting with Zhao Jin in Pingying.

The general of Pingyu was none other than General Lu Guanglin Lu who fought with Ruan Fu in Chuzhou.

Ever since the parting of Chuzhou, Lu Guanglin had been leading the army to guard the eastern area. After the war was complicated, he appeared in a peaceful place close to the eastern part of Nanhua. When he saw Ruan Fu, he was particularly excited.

Ruan Fu and Yu Wuhen followed the greeters into Ping's big tent, "General Lu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as powerful as ever."

None of Ping's generals knew that Ruan Fu would come, until just now when the generals were discussing the war, Ruan Fu's seal was sent outside, Lu Guanglin just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly accepted him.

This veteran, after so many years, has passed his forties, but when he saw Ruan Fu, he still remembered the demeanor of that girl during the Chuzhou battle six or seven years ago.

Therefore, Lu Guanglin seemed very excited, "Crown Princess, this... the Crown Princess is not in Yucheng with the Crown Prince, why did she come to Pingyi?"

Ruan Fu smiled, "I cooperated with General Lu once in Chuzhou, but I haven't fought with General Lu for many years. Seeing General Lu in Pingyi, my concubine came to take a look."

Lu Guanglin was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Don't be a concubine, a concubine. A concubine is capable of being a concubine, and a general would never dare to be a concubine."

Those words were originally just a joke, Lu Guanglin took a look, and there was only Yu Wuhen behind Ruan Fu, so he couldn't help but wonder, "Is the Crown Princess only coming with the Twelve Princes?"

Ruan Fu nodded slightly, smiled, and sat down on the conference table, "Does General Lu think that this concubine didn't bring some generals?"

Lu Guanglin said, "What the Crown Princess said is nothing more than a Zhao Jin. The kid is quite capable, but the Crown Princess doesn't need to do it herself."

Ruan Fu smiled, and then said seriously, "This concubine has not let go of the news when she came to Pingyi, so you don't have to spread it deliberately."

Lu Guanglin and the generals looked at each other, "Crown Princess, is it true that you are here for the Zhao family's army?"

Ruan Fuyang said with a smile, "This concubine just wants to meet Zhao Jiajun for a while, why not?"

Lu Guanglin shook his head, for a while, he didn't know what Ruan Fu was thinking.

Only then did everyone sit down again and continue with the unfinished business.

*
Since Ruan Fu came to Pinggu, the fighting between the two sides has become more intense.

A few days have passed, and the Zhao family army led by Zhao Jin can still hold on.

Standing on the city wall of Pinggu, looking at the messy battlefield after a fierce battle, Lu Guanglin stood beside Ruan Fu and said, "Zhao Jin is quite capable. Tuofeng Mountain has been around for three months, but it still managed to retain most of the main force under the attack of both sides. Now, only relying on 10,000+ soldiers and horses, it can also persist for many days outside of Pingyi. I have to say, at the end Generals have marched and fought all their lives, and it is rare to see such troops and generals.”

Ruan Fu stared ahead and said calmly, "If it weren't for this, Zhao Jin would not be the number one general in Nanhua. No one in Nanhua can do better in terms of marching troops and commanding troops, and Zhao Jin's Zhao family army, Since the beginning of its existence, the army's training methods have been self-contained, which is different from the rest of the Nanhua army. Therefore, if we deal with Zhao Jin and the Zhao family army led by him in the same way as the general army, it will be effective, but in the end It’s just that the effect is not great, and the battle line will be stretched.”

Lu Guanglin sighed, "Could this be the reason why Zhao Jin was able to come out after being trapped in Tuofeng Mountain for so long?"

Ruan Fu smiled and nodded slightly.

Only then did Lu Guanglin nod his head solemnly, "No wonder, the general thought that the 10,000+ army could be dealt with in a short time, but now..."

Ruan Fu shook his head and said, "General Lu has rich combat experience, but he may have too little experience in confronting Zhao Jin. In addition, since the failure of the First World War, Zhao Jin has been training the Zhao family army purposefully in the past few years. Resisting is justifiable."

Lu Guanglin shook his head and smiled, "Even so, Zhao Jin probably won't last long."

Ruan Fu said, "Zhao Jin has no choice. If he procrastinates, I believe he will procrastinate for a long time. However, the situation in Nanhua is critical now, and Zhao Jin cannot be allowed to procrastinate. Therefore, he will definitely fight with his back and take the initiative to attack. For a while, this is the purpose of Zhao's army's violent attack."

Lu Guanglin understood the first point, so he couldn't help saying, "So, what good strategy does the Crown Princess have?"

Ruan Fu looked at the vast land ahead, and suddenly pointed his finger at a place, "Is that Yao Shuigu over there?"

Lu Guanglin nodded, but Ruan Fu was silent for a while before he said, "General Lu, let the generals discuss the matter."

Lu Guanglin frowned slightly, "Yes!"

On the other side, in the Zhao Family Army camp, Zhao Jin was standing in front of the sand table, looking at the current situation map of the army.

Next to him, followed by Zhao Jin's personal guards.

The current Zhao Jin, his brows are slightly darkened, with a sense of coldness, the youthful spirit of wanting to compete with Yu Wujue in Yuanyang City, has completely disappeared from his face.

The personal guard looked at Zhao Jin's frowning, and said, "General, when the two armies were fighting, Nanhua's tactics seemed to be changing all the time, and what they showed seemed to affect me. The military situation is very well understood, and the general's tactics are very well understood, so it is really not good for the current situation."

Zhao Jin nodded, her eyes still on the sand table, where Pingying was.

"Ok, I know."

"That being the case, General..."

Zhao Jin stretched out a hand to stop the guard's words, "Needless to say, even if there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair ahead, the Zhao family's army must not retreat. Huadu is at stake. Even if all the Zhao's family's army die in battle, we must fight for the last time for your majesty."

The guard was slightly moved, "Yes!"

Afterwards, in Pinggu, the battle between Nanhua's army and Zhao Jin's Zhao family army was still fierce.

Looking at the two parties entangled below, Ruan Fu also had to sigh that Zhao Jin's Zhao family army was the most suitable for fighting in such a vast place. With the might of the Zhao family army, it was easy to form a tendency to annex the mountains and rivers.

This army that was loyal to Huangfu Yu but was distrusted by Huangfu Yu many times, could not be kept after all.

Ruan Fu sighed softly in his heart, and looked to the rear of the battlefield.Over there, Zhao Jingao sat on the horse, watching the situation on the battlefield with calm eyes.

They were a little far away, and Ruan Fu couldn't see Zhao Jin's appearance clearly, but he also knew that the person sitting high on the horse and wearing the armor was Zhao Jin.

At this moment, Zhao Jin was also looking in Ruan Fu's direction. Even though he hadn't seen Ruan Fu for many years, even Ruan Fu's attire was not the same as when he went to Nanhua back then. Jin recognized this person as Ruan Phu,
Because, some people, no matter how the years change, as long as she stands there, people can recognize them at once.

Zhao Jin saw it, and the people next to him naturally saw it too, and couldn't help saying in surprise, "General Zhao, then, isn't that the Crown Princess Chen?"

Zhao Jin nodded silently, but frowned even tighter.

"Prince Princess Chen is not in Yucheng, so why did she appear in Pingyi? Could it be that the fact that the fighting has been difficult for the past few days is all because Ruan Fu appeared in Pingying?"

After Zhao Jin was silent for a long time, she looked at the people standing on the gate of Pinggu City, and finally said, "Ruan Fu... how did he know Zhao Jiajun so well?"

"General, this..."

Zhao Jin glanced at the changing situation on the battlefield and the Chen Kingdom's army that was constantly pressing in.

Today's battle has lasted for nearly two hours.

Chen Kingdom's army handled it with ease, but Zhao's army seemed to be having a very difficult time.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more critical, Zhao Jin decisively ordered, "Withdraw the troops!"

The horn to withdraw the troops sounded, and on the battlefield, tens of thousands of Zhao's troops all retreated.

Above the city gate, Ruan Fu squinted his eyes as he looked at the Zhao family army who was retreating rapidly.

Lu Guanglin watched from the side, and waved his hand to make the flag flutter. The army of Chen Kingdom had no intention of pursuing it.

The battle in Pingyu was very fierce, and the battle in Yucheng was also very fierce.

After Huangfu Yu gave the order to attack the Kingdom of Chen with all his strength, the Nanhua army guarding in front of Yucheng launched a fierce attack.

And after being stationed in Yucheng for so long, Yu Wujue didn't intend to stay in Yucheng any longer.

Since Nanhua has been reluctant to surrender for so long, he can only choose to push forward.

Squeezing the news from Pingyu, Yu Wujue remained silent.

Yu Wufan said from the side, "Fourth sister-in-law fought against the Zhao family's army in Pingyi. The Zhao family's army is no better than before after the fourth sister-in-law passed by. However, if Zhao Jin wants to persevere, it seems that he can persist for a while. Fourth brother, Do you want to go help Sisao?"

Yu Wujue shook his head, "No one knows Zhao Jiajun better than Ruan'er, and it won't be of much use if anyone goes."

Yu Wufan was silent, but Yu Wujue looked down at the news from Pingyi, and seemed to sigh in a low voice, "It's been nearly half a month since Ruan'er left Yucheng."

It seemed to be a voice muttering to himself.

Yu Wufan didn't hear clearly, "What?"

Yu Wujue's protruding lips curled into a smile, and he raised his head with a bit more determination in his expression.

"Send the order, the army of Yucheng is ready to go to Huadu with all its strength."

Yu Wufan was shocked, "Fourth brother!"

Yu Wujue said, "I've been waiting for too long, if not, Huangfu Yu thought that I was just playing with him."

Yu Wufan said, "Yes!"

Yu Wujue said, "Call all the generals for a meeting."

After Yu Wufan responded, he quickly backed away.

*
In the 34th year of Emperor Yuanchang of Chen State, at the beginning of June.

The army of the Kingdom of Chen who had been stationed in Yucheng for more than a month finally mobilized. Regardless of the Zhao family army who was staring at the back of Yucheng, the prince of the Kingdom of Chen led troops to attack Huadu.

The Nanhua army guarding in front of Huadu and opposite Yucheng was in close contact with Chen Kingdom.

The army fought continuously for two days and two nights.

In the Nanhua camp, the only remaining four veterans were all killed in battle.

When the news came back to Huadu, Huadu was shocked.

The ministers panicked.

Doom is at hand.

So far, across from Yucheng and in front of Huadu, Nanhua's last line of defense was destroyed.

Yu Wujue brought a mighty army to the city of Huadu.

When Yu Wujue's army marched mightily towards Huadu, this news also reached Zhao Jin's hands.

When the Zhao family army heard the news, and the attack plan in Pingyi for the past few days was all shattered, the morale that had persisted for a long time was finally shattered when Huadu was finally under the control of Chen Guo.

And when Zhao Jin heard the news, it was when she was facing Ruan Fu on the battlefield. When the news came, Zhao Jin almost got off her horse.

When the officers and men of the Chen Kingdom in the Pingying Land heard the news, they were all excited.

The Chen Kingdom armies that were active in various parts of Nanhua heard the news and gathered across the board. Under such circumstances, they all besieged the Nanhua army in the central part.

The four cities recovered by Zhao Jin were all recovered by the army of Kingdom Chen almost at the same time.

The Zhao family's army, whose morale had collapsed, was finally forced to retreat to Yao Shuigu not far from Pingying under the persecution of Chen Guo's army.

Ambushed front and back, besieged on all sides, the Zhao family army, who was once the number one in Nanhua, finally fell into Yao Shuigu's death after breaking free from the desperation of Tuofeng Mountain.

At this moment, there are less than a thousand soldiers and horses left beside Zhao Jin. In fact, these thousand soldiers and horses can be regarded as Zhao Jin's personal guards, protecting Zhao Jin's existence in the battlefield.

It's just that now that he is trapped in Yao Shuigu, Zhao Jin knows that the Zhao family's army is all over.

Ruan Fu rode his horse and walked with the army. He stood on a high ground in Yaoshui Valley, looked at Zhao Jin who was in a desperate situation, and remained silent.

At this time, Zhao Jin was in a bit of a panic, his armor was torn, his sword and halberd were cut off, his black hair was flying wildly, his body was also covered with patches of blood, and his face was also splashed with a lot of blood from soldiers.

Ruan Fu spoke first, "General Zhao."

Zhao Jin raised her head, looked at Ruan Fu on the height, and laughed loudly, "Unexpectedly, the Zhao family army was finally destroyed by the Crown Princess!"

Ruan Fu's voice was calm, "Except for this concubine, no one is qualified to destroy the Zhao family's army."

Zhao Jin knew that there was nothing she could do to turn back, so she just stared at Ruan Fu with a pair of pitch-black eyes.

As for Yao Shuigu Highland, Ten Thousand Arrows will attack the Zhao Family Army in Yao Shuigu.

"Only the Crown Princess is eligible?" Zhao Jin sneered, "I don't know why the Crown Princess made such a statement. Does the Zhao family army have any personal enmity with the Crown Princess?"

Ruan Fu looked at Zhao Jin and said, "Over the past few years, General Zhao has focused on training the Zhao family army. The combat power of the Zhao family army has improved a lot compared to previous years. It is General Zhao's ability to come out of Tuofeng Mountain and persist until now."

Zhao Jin stared at Ruan Fu firmly.

Ruan Fu looked calm, glanced at the situation below, and said, "These days, when I was facing General Zhao, this concubine finally brought out what I had learned for many years in my heart. It can be seen that General Zhao has mastered what he learned when he was young... However, this concubine often wonders whether the general will remember the time when he taught the general the art of war when he was training soldiers for so many years. People, do you feel a little guilt in your heart?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jin looked at Ruan Fu suddenly, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

Ruan Fu raised his lips slightly, "When we met in Nanhua back then, this concubine wanted to ask General Zhao a word. These years, General Zhao dreamed back at midnight, did he ever dream of his mentor?"

"You...how did you do it?" Zhao Jin's voice was a little hoarse, seeing Ruan Fu's calm and shocked expression, he didn't go away for a long time.

Ruan Fu chuckled, "Now, in the eyes of General Zhao, is it more important to be loyal to the emperor or to protect the country? If the general is to protect the country, the Zhao family army will not be in today's predicament. If the general is only loyal to the emperor, the fate of the Zhao family army is like this. It’s also God’s trick.”

Zhao Jin stared at Ruan Fu, looking at her sitting on a horse, dressed as a quiet woman.

This person used to be a weak and weak woman, but she was more determined than anyone else, and it seemed that no one could defeat her.

So smart, so everything is under control.

Ruan Fu looked at Zhao Jin calmly, seeing the expression on Zhao Jin's face, he split bit by bit.

For some unknown reason, Zhao Jin laughed a few times, the laughter was sad.

He looked up at the sky, suddenly seemed to return to his youth.

The mansion with the fragrance of magnolia.

He learned the art of war with his mentor, and when he was about to leave, he passed the garden and heard the woman's playful laughter.

He dodged subconsciously, but bumped into a seven or eight-year-old girl at the garden gate.

The girl's eyes were bright, and she asked him, "Who are you?"

"I'm Zhao Jin, and I'm here to learn the art of war with the emperor."

The girl smiled happily, "So, you are my grandfather's student, giggling, that's still my uncle!"

He asked, "Are you..."

"I'm Ruan'er, Meng Ruan..."

I'm Ruan Er, Meng Ruan...

I'm Ruan Er, Meng Ruan...

The girl's brisk laughter was still in my ears after many years.

Looking up at the sky, Zhao Jin seemed to see the magnolia in full bloom under the blue sky and white clouds in Yao Shuigu, and under the magnolia tree, there was a delicate figure of a young girl.

He suddenly burst into laughter, but the sound of laughter sounded like crying.

Swinging the long knife in his hand, everyone felt blood flashing before their eyes.

The No.1 general of Nanhua in the past was finally buried in Yao Shuigu.

*
In front of Huadu, Yu Wujue's army has stayed for two days, and has not attacked this capital city with a history of hundreds of years. However, everyone knows that once the army invades, no one can stop it.

In the imperial palace, the ministers in Huadu had already gathered in the imperial palace because of the soldiers of Chen Kingdom approaching the city, and at this moment, Huangfu Yu's health was even worse.

Originally, he looked thin, but at this moment, he was already skinny.

There was some confusion in the palace, and the ministers knelt outside the bedroom.

At this time, no one will have the oath to defend the imperial city to the death, and no one will mention the subject of surrender.

Concubine Xu Guifei wore noble makeup, which was almost the most amazing daily palace dress she had worn since entering the palace.

At this moment, the concubines of other palaces are also guarding Huangfu Yu in the side hall, but only Concubine Xu Gui can get close to Huangfu Yu's palace.

Someone came in and reported the situation outside the palace to Huangfu Yu, "Your Majesty, the Chen Kingdom's army has imposed an order. If, if...the city gates are not opened, the army will come in. I don't know if your majesty is going to...surrender the country, or, or die in battle... ..."

The person who reported was trembling when he said a word. If he said something like this, it was like sending his head up to the emperor to have it chopped off.

Huangfu Yu lay on the bed, his eyes widened upon hearing this.

His voice was hoarse, a little weak and powerless, "Never...never descend to the country..."

The voice was so hoarse that the people who came to report couldn't hear it clearly.

However, he didn't dare to ask His Majesty what he was talking about again.

Concubine Xu Gui who was next to her glanced at her, her voice was still calm, "Your Majesty is in poor health. You order the general guarding the city to think of a solution with the ministers outside first, and don't act rashly. The crisis in Nanhua is at this very moment."

The man was already terrified, but after receiving such words from Concubine Xu Gui, he finally retreated.

Huangfu Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Concubine Xu's hand, his eyes almost popped out, his hoarse voice, with the last struggle and sureness, "Don't...don't surrender...I will never be a slave to surrender..."

Concubine Xu Gui smiled slightly, twitched her hand gently, and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my concubine knows that Your Majesty will be the Mingjun of Nanhua, and even if he can't keep Nanhua, he will not be a subjugated slave. If you are proud, you can only die in battle, how can you be a slave to the country?"

Concubine Xu Gui's voice was still gentle, but even though Huangfu Yu was sick, he could still hear the insincere in her tone.

Huangfu Yu was unable to move, so he stared at Concubine Xu Gui.

Concubine Xu Gui smiled and laid Huangfu Yu flat on the bed.

She stood up.

Looking down at Huangfu Yu from a high position, he raised his hand to touch his forehead and stroked his temple hair.

It seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be talking to Huangfu Yu.

"It has been more than ten years since the concubine entered the palace. Unexpectedly, it has been more than ten years, and the concubine is old... From the time when Nanhua was still booming, to now it has plummeted. The concubine watched him be promoted. Looking at him, the elder brother of the concubine once lived at the border for the sake of the peace and prosperity of Nanhua. Do you still remember? The elder brother of the concubine once made great contributions and followed His Majesty all the way. After so many years, I don’t know if His Majesty still remembers it. Remember... If my brother is still alive, I think seeing today's situation, he would rather die in battle than surrender, as His Majesty said just now, right? Yes, the son of the Xu family is strong and strong. Will you be that cartilage descendant?"

Hearing Concubine Xu quietly talk about the past, on the bed, Huangfu Yu's expression changed drastically, his eyes stared at Concubine Xu, as if he wanted to dig a hole out of her.

Concubine Xu Gui smiled slowly, and sat on the side of the bed, reaching out to stroke Huangfu Yu's temple hair.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has said that you are not in good health, you should not make a big move, and you should not be emotional."

Huangfu Yu wanted to reach out and grab Concubine Xu's hand, but Concubine Xu easily avoided it.

Huangfu Yu struggled violently, and Concubine Xu Gui said softly, "Your Majesty, why do you always disobey the imperial physician?"

After Xu Guifei finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the maid next to her walking in with a medicine bowl, and said, "Look, it's time again, Your Majesty should drink the medicine."

The maid handed the plate to Concubine Xu Gui. Concubine Xu looked at the medicine in the plate and smiled slightly. In front of Huangfu Yu, Dan Kou put on her armor and touched it in the medicine soup. Then she picked up the medicine bowl and scooped it up. Picking up a tablespoon of decoction, he approached Huangfu Yu, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

Huangfu Yu refused, and struggled with a hoarse voice, "Evil woman... Evil woman..."

Concubine Xu Gui didn't care, she just smiled and said to the maid, "Help Your Majesty."

The maid responded and helped Huangfu Yu up, Concubine Xu Guifei brought the decoction close to Huangfu Yu's lips, Huangfu struggled, and the decoction fell from his lips.

Concubine Xu Gui didn't care, she fed Huangfu Yu the soup and wiped it gently with a silk handkerchief, very patiently.

A bowl of decoction, not many can really enter Huangfu Yu's mouth.

Concubine Xu Gui said slowly while feeding, "But, my concubine's elder brother is so loyal to His Majesty and Nanhua, so he doesn't want Nanhua to have to surrender to others like today, Your Majesty still can't tolerate him... Your Majesty wants to kill him." The Meng family, but what's wrong with my brother, why did I get involved? Is it because my brother is loyal not to His Majesty, but to Nanhua? Your Majesty's heart is really small..."

She seemed to be talking about unimportant things, but the panic in Huangfu Yu's eyes was getting bigger and bigger.

Then gradually, under Concubine Xu Gui's gentle eyes, she became powerless.

After Xu Guifei finished feeding the decoction, she wiped the remaining juice from the corners of Huangfu Yu's lips, and said, "Your Majesty has accomplished nothing in this half of his life except killing the Meng family and the heroes of Nanhua, and Nanhua is still in His Majesty's hands." , from prosperity to such a situation... The concubine knows that His Majesty is tired, and His Majesty can't bear the suffering of the people, and His Majesty is ashamed of his ancestors... Your Majesty, I want to descend to the country..."

Huangfu Yu, who was already powerless, widened his eyes suddenly when he heard Xu Guifei's last words. When he spoke, there were no hoarse and weak words, only a burst of babbling that no one could understand.

Concubine Xu Gui waved her hand to let the palace maid back down.

Eunuch Zhang came in at this time, and was shocked when he saw Huangfu Yu's appearance, "Your Majesty!"

Concubine Xu Gui stood up and sighed softly, "Grandpa Zhang, the news came from outside the palace just now, His Majesty may have been irritated."

During this period of time, Concubine Xu has been taking care of Huangfu Yu. Many times, the words that many people cannot hear are conveyed by Concubine Xu. Seeing this, Eunuch Zhang was shocked and said, "Ma'am, what should I do?"

But Huangfu Yu raised his hand, as if he wanted to do something.

Zhang Gonggong knew it, and hurriedly said, "Quick, let all the ministers come in!"

Many ministers who had been discussing outside because of the news from the Chen Kingdom's army filed in one after another.

Huangfu Yu stared at Concubine Xu weakly, and opened his lips as if wanting to say something.

Eunuch Zhang moved closer, and after listening for a long time, he realized that what Huangfu Yu wanted to talk about was Concubine Xu.

"Miss!"

Concubine Xu Gui walked in with a concerned expression, "What does Your Majesty want to say?"

Huangfu Yu stared at Concubine Xu with staring eyes.

Her lips buzzed, her eyes struggled, she didn't know what to say, Concubine Xu Gui slowly approached, blocking all sight.

Seeing this, all the ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to speak loudly.

After quite a while, Concubine Xu Guifei left Huangfu Yu's bedside and took two steps back with an incomparably dignified expression.

Then he knelt down and bowed his knees in front of Huangfu Yu.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing this, all the ministers didn't know what to do.

"Empress, Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Concubine Xu Guifei took a deep breath, her eyes were reddish, her expression moved, "Your Majesty has something to say, in order to save the people from suffering, Nanhua... descend to the country!"

Seeing this, everyone in the dormitory turned pale with shock, and then they all knelt down, put their heads on the ground, and said in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty..."

However, no one saw Huangfu Yu struggling on the bed for the last time.

But at this moment, outside Huadu city gate.

Yu Wujue stood in front of Qianjun, looking at the locked city gate with a relaxed expression.

Yu Wufan stood aside, staring at the city gate for a long time, "Fourth Brother, Huangfu Yu is probably unwilling to surrender?"

Yu Wujue shook his head slightly, not even a bit worried.

At this time, there was an anxious sound of hoofbeats from behind, Yu Wujue turned around, and saw Ruan Fu and Yu Wuhen coming on horseback.

Qian Jun had already moved out of the way, and Yu Wujue's originally leisurely expression finally showed a touch of surprise at this time.

After Ruan Fu dismounted, he said, "Why are you back at this time?"

Ruan Fu's face was full of dust, seeing Yu Wujue's surprised expression, he smiled, and glanced at Huadu's city gate, "How's the situation inside?"

Yu Wujue said, "Still waiting."

Ruan Fu nodded and sighed, "Finally this day has come."

Yu Wujue shook her hand, "Is it okay?"

Ruan Fu smiled, and talked with Yu Wujue about the war in Pingyi, the two were talking, but suddenly heard a sound.

Huadu city gate is wide open.

Looking at the city gate, all the officials of Huadu were there, and a bright yellow figure appeared on the city gate with the support of others.

Eunuch Zhang, the great eunuch, held up a tray, among which were the Nanhua emperor's crown, dragon robe, and an emperor's seal.

Seeing this, the Chen Kingdom's army was tens of thousands of horses, and their eyes were focused on the city wall of Huadu.

Yu Wujue narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Ruan Fu turned his eyes to the blurred figure of bright yellow, his expression was a little dazed, and finally he sighed lightly.

According to later records, in the 34th year of Emperor Yuanchang of the Kingdom of Chen, on the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, Prince Yuwujue's army came to the city of Nanhua, and no one was injured.The last emperor of Nanhua, Huangfu Yu, took all the officials, took off the dragon robe, removed the crown, and descended to the country. At this point, Nanhua died.

Later history also records that after Prince Yu Wujue led troops into the Nanhua Palace, he never beheaded those who surrendered. He divided up the old officials and even sent troops to protect the safety of the people in the city. However, he set fire to one of the palaces alone.

According to the old palace people in Nanhua Palace, that palace is called Huai Palace.

As for what is in the palace, no one can tell. Some people say that there are secrets hidden there, others say that there are beauties hidden there, and some people say that there are secrets of Nanhua royal treasures there. There are different opinions. One answer, but the story of the pregnant palace created by later generations cannot be exhausted.

 call!Wan Geng, I'm exhausted...
