Chapter 768 Long Live the Emperor! (38)
After the battle, a count revealed that the Jian Kingdom suffered over 200,000 deaths and 50,000 prisoners of war.

Among the prisoners was the supreme commander of Jian Kingdom, who was also a prince highly regarded by Badachi.

Afterwards, the Cong Kingdom pressed on, driving the Jian Kingdom's army away from the border for seventy or eighty miles before they stopped their pursuit.

During the pursuit, the Jian Kingdom showed no fighting spirit and was almost at the mercy of its enemies, suffering nearly 100,000 casualties.

Most of them are disabled, and even if they return home safely, they will have lost their fighting ability.

After pursuing them for eighty li, the Cong Kingdom did not retreat but instead sent troops to garrison the area.

Judging from this posture, they actually intend to take over this land that originally belonged to Jian Kingdom!
However, Jian Kingdom suffered more than 300,000 casualties in this war, and was severely damaged, so it had no ability to resist at all.

Therefore, they could only let the Cong Kingdom act roguely at this time.

In this world, Yu Muhuai only fought one battle, but she became famous overnight, becoming a source of inspiration for many people's writing and painting, and a legend in the history of war.

From then on, the history of Cong, Jian, and even the world will record such an invincible and unstoppable emperor, writing a significant chapter in history.

Even when Jian Guo fled, Yu Muhuai had not yet killed enough.

So she grabbed a nearby warhorse, mounted it, pulled on the reins with her left hand, raised her blood-stained longsword high with her right, and shouted.

"Soldiers, follow me and pursue them! Slaughter them until not a single one is left alive!"

The soldiers around him were roused to a fever pitch by the emperor's loud shout.

The frustration of being harassed by enemy troops on the border for decades has been swept away; now it's time to reclaim some of the losses!

So a group of passionate young people raised their weapons and shouted in unison.

"Leave no one alive! Leave no one alive!"

Before Duan Kui, Yang Lu, and the others could react, their Emperor had already led his generals out and begun a bloody pursuit.

The senior generals looked at each other in bewilderment.

What could they do? They could only hurry up and catch up.

It wasn't until they had chased each other for eighty miles that Yu Muhuai felt utterly exhausted and had to stop.

He leaped off his horse and plunged his long sword straight into the ground at his feet.

The force was so great that only the hilt of the knife remained outside.

She even left behind some bold and inspiring words here.

"The territory of the Cong Kingdom will be bounded by this boundary, and from now on it will only extend, not shrink!"

She then sent men to garrison the area, while she led most of her soldiers back to Iron Fighting City.

The people of Tiedou City came out one after another and spontaneously lined both sides of the road to welcome and celebrate the safe return of the soldiers.

Upon seeing the emperor at the front, covered in blood yet still exuding an aura of supreme authority, the people couldn't help but kneel down and shout "Long live the emperor!"

Jiang Shaohui and his officials waited there, and when they saw Yu Muhuai return safely, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

News of Cong's great victory quickly reached the capital and spread throughout the country.

Yu Muhuai has no plans to return for the time being. She needs to stay in Tiedou City for a while and wait for news from the Khan Badachi of Jian Kingdom.

She didn't waste her time while waiting. Besides inspecting various places, she also investigated the construction of karez wells, the planting of fields, and the daily lives of ordinary people.

Sometimes, when he gets into the mood, Yu Muhuai would even roll up his sleeves and trouser legs and go down to the fields to do some farm work himself, setting an example.

The local people were so frightened that their legs trembled and their teeth chattered, and they planted the rice seedlings directly between their toes.

Seeing that even the emperor was going, the officials had no choice but to bite the bullet and go too.

For a time, the situation in the entire Northwest was excellent, with the military and civilians working together in perfect harmony.

A month later, news came from Jian Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Jian surrendered, and its envoy requested peace talks. Yu Muhuai sat upright in his high seat, listened to the envoy's request, gave a cold laugh, and remained silent.

The messenger below, upon hearing this laughter, blushed deeply and felt extremely guilty.

No wonder Yu Muhuai sneered. Ten years ago, it was Jian Kingdom that requested peace talks, and ten years later, it was also the first to tear up the treaty.

Seeing that they couldn't win this time, they came to negotiate again.

Did they think the people of Cong Kingdom were all fools?

But since the emperor did not speak, the officials beside him also remained silent, so the envoy from Jian Kingdom at the bottom could only stand there, still in the same bowing posture and with a blank smile.

It wasn't until the messenger's body stiffened and he broke out in a cold sweat that he heard a light, airy voice from above.

"Go back and tell your Khan that if you want peace talks, you need to show some sincerity. Do you think that I and the people of Cong are so easily fooled by just empty words?"

After saying this, Yu Muhuai stood up and left in a huff.

The envoy understood that the Kingdom of Cong's attitude suggested hope for peace talks.

However, if the peace talks are to succeed, Jian Kingdom will likely have to spend a fortune.

The messenger returned disappointed.

Yu Muhuai continued to live a leisurely life in the Northwest region.

Every few days, a personal letter from Crown Prince Wan Qiyue would arrive.

The above mainly records various important matters in the imperial city, including Wan Qiyue's opinions and those of the regent ministers, etc.

After Yu Muhuai reads it, he will give some comments. If there are no problems, he will just gloss over them. If there are problems, he will point them out.

Wan Qiyue is the eldest son of Wan Zhixin and Xue Rong.

He is gentle, diligent, and humble; he is a promising talent.

If he had been born in a peaceful era, I believe Wan Qiyue would have been able to inherit the throne and become a wise ruler.

However, the Kingdom of Cong has just been revived and is still somewhat turbulent.

Wan Qiyue's temperament still needs some work to be refined before Yu Muhuai can entrust the country to him with peace of mind.

Half a month later, the Kingdom of Jian sent another envoy.

This time, the envoy did not spout empty rhetoric as before, but directly stated the conditions for peace talks with Jian Kingdom.

First, the border of the Cong Kingdom extends eighty li to the northwest.

Second, the four border cities of Jian State will be divided and given to Cong State.

Third, send a princess to marry into the family.

Fourth, annual tributes were paid to the Cong Kingdom, including silver, cattle, sheep, horses, and other valuables, totaling 500,000 taels of silver and goods.

Yu Muhuai raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Jian Kingdom's pragmatic approach this time.

However, after hearing news from the scouts about the recent events in Jian Kingdom, he understood the reason.

The health of Khan Badachi of Jian Kingdom is failing.

Badachi is sixty years old this year. People on the grasslands have always been in better physical condition than those in the Central Plains. However, Badachi was too aggressive and ruthless when he was young. He experienced countless wars, both large and small, which left him with many hidden dangers.

This major defeat of the Jian Kingdom became the trigger for all his hidden ailments, causing his serious illness to erupt all at once.

The supreme ruler was seriously ill, and his sons below him became restless.

Timu Cheng, who was the most promising candidate to seize the throne in his early years, was captured by the Cong Kingdom and turned into a useless person.
