Your scumbag application has been returned
Chapter 174: War is urgent
When they came out of the Imperial Garden, there was no wind on the road. Seeing that he was staggering as he walked, Chen Yuenian simply carried him on his back.
Nan Yuan perversely lay on his back, his hands tightly around his neck, and kept muttering, "Chen Yuenian, you attract bad luck every day."
Chen Yuenian was both angry and amused: "I don't admit it. There is nothing wrong between His Highness and I. We have not even met each other many times. How can you say that I am the one who provoked the bad peach blossom?"
Nan Yuan tilted his head, and the hot air he exhaled hit Chen Yuenian's face, carrying the aroma of osmanthus wine, "It's because General Chen is handsome and charming."
Chen Yuenian deliberately tilted his head, and Nan Yuan's lips always accidentally rubbed his face when he spoke, but he was drunk and did not notice Chen Yuenian's little movements.
As he was talking, Nan Yuan couldn't resist his sleepiness and fell asleep.
Chen Yuenian carried him on his back and walked slowly, step by step.
The dinner had not yet ended. The corridor leading to the main gate was quiet and one could only see the guards standing on both sides with firm gazes, silently guarding the towering palace like dark knights.
Walk through the long corridor to the palace gate.
Chen Yuenian suddenly stopped and looked into the darkness, saying in a bad tone, "Why are you here?"
Yu Tianji walked out from the darkness, with his hands behind his back, strolling leisurely, feeling very comfortable, "Of course I'm waiting for you, General Chen."
The palace lanterns at the door were dazzling. Chen Yuenian narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Wait for me?"
Yu Tianji glanced at Nan Yuan on his back and praised her sincerely, "Your husband is really a handsome man. Really, why didn't you invite me to have a drink at your wedding? After all, we are friends who have risked our lives for each other. General Chen is really heartless and ungrateful."
Chen Yuenian stared at him coldly: "Do you want to kill my friendship?"
Yu Tianji laughed out loud and slowly approached him while his eyes fell on Nan Yuan. He shook his head with regret. Chen Yuenian couldn't understand for a moment what purpose Yu Tianji had in approaching him. The only thing he was sure of was that he had bad intentions.
"General Xiao Chen, putting aside the interests of our country, we can still be friends. After all, you and I are the same kind of people, murderous, courageous, and willing to do anything to achieve our goals, and we are not afraid of even death."
Chen Yuenian sneered, as if he had heard a huge joke: "Who is the same person as you? Please make sure, General Yu, don't make the mistake. Besides, I can't let it go, General Yu. You killed so many soldiers from Daliang. You don't think you can just let it go with a simple 'let it go'. Those are all living lives."
Yu Tianji shrugged his shoulders, not surprised at all, as if he had expected Chen Yuenian's answer. "Well, if you say you can't let it go, then you can't let it go. General Chen, you are so powerful that even your words make people want to surrender."
"If you have nothing to do, just get out of the way. I don't have time to chat with you here." Yu Tianji was naturally a weasel with bad intentions. Chen Yuenian was too lazy to flatter him, so he took a detour and walked past.
Yu Tianji smiled meaningfully, and when he was about to get on the carriage, he shouted at his back: "General Xiao Chen, we will meet again soon."
Chen Yuenian knew that they would meet again. He couldn't stay in Shengdu forever. Sooner or later, he would have to go back to guard the border, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
Near the end of the year, Yu Tianji suddenly launched a mutiny on the border of Zhou State. He attacked with great force, and captured Raocheng and Lancheng in just three days. He beheaded the generals stationed in Raocheng and Lancheng, and hung the heads of them on the city gates for public display. He also brazenly shouted to Chen Yuenian to go over and die.
An urgent battle report from the border was sent to the court, and the other to Chen Yuenian.
The ministers were shocked and puzzled at the same time. Zhou was just a defeated country. Not to mention its military strength, its treasury had been emptied in the previous wars. Otherwise, they would not have lowered their posture and asked for peace halfway through the war.
Not to mention that the Zhou Kingdom was unable to pay military salaries, even the soldiers' daily meals were becoming a problem.
Less than half a year had passed, and the State of Zhou had regrouped, suddenly risen, and even counterattacked two cities. It was unbelievable no matter how you looked at it. Who was helping the State of Zhou behind the scenes and was willing to offend the State of Liang to help it?
There is no direct ranking among the countries, but Liang State has Chen Yuenian, the stabilizing force guarding the border, and Chen Yuechu, the incarnation of Wenquxing, sitting in the court. They cannot defeat them in terms of martial arts, and cannot compete with them in terms of literature, so all countries have always followed Liang State's lead.
Moreover, there is a Yuncheng between Raocheng and Lancheng, but they only occupied Raocheng and Lancheng, leaving only Yuncheng. If Chen Yuenian wants to go, he will definitely go to Yuncheng first.
In this case, he wanted to wait for them to pass over, and then surround them from both ends to catch them in a jar. It was clearly a challenge to Chen Yuenian and a complete provocation.
The forces behind the enemy country are still unclear, and we don't know how many people there are. Even if Chen Yuenian is very powerful, there is a risk of failure. Once he fails, the chain reaction will be immeasurable.
Chen Yuenian is a well-deserved general who has won every battle. If Chen Yuenian is defeated, it will affect the morale of the soldiers. Once the morale is affected, it will become very difficult to win.
It is obvious that they came well prepared this time and are determined to get back everything they lost.
Chen Yuechu looked at the battle report without saying a word. Chen Yuenian was busy with other things today and did not attend the court. Emperor Liang had already sent someone to find Chen Yuenian to discuss countermeasures.
The incident happened suddenly. Although it was said to be a discussion, the actual expedition was also a foregone conclusion. Chen Yuenian would probably have to mobilize the troops and set off immediately, and could not even wait until tomorrow.
Emperor Liang had been taking elixirs of immortality for a long time, and he had been taking them without restraint as if they were ordinary tonics. Chen Yuechu discovered that his health had been seriously damaged, more than half earlier than expected. Now he seemed to be getting better on the surface, but if you looked more carefully, you would find that his steps were unsteady, and he walked as if he was walking on clouds, and even his eyesight had deteriorated a lot.
After reading the urgent war report, Emperor Liang first cursed the Zhou State for being shameless, saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. He thought that he was being kind and righteous by not attacking them, thinking that if the two countries went to war, the people would suffer.
But he turned around and stabbed them in the back, and even boasted that he would flatten the territory of their Liang State. What a big tone.
Emperor Liang was holding his breath in his heart. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which frightened all the officials in the court.
Chen Yuechu told them not to panic. He knew Emperor Liang's body best and it was just a backlash from taking too much.
The eunuch beside Emperor Liang nervously handed him a handkerchief to wipe his wound. He waved his hand and was about to speak when he coughed violently again. "I, I am angry. These thieves have evil intentions and must not be let off."
Nan Zhongze immediately jumped out to express his feelings: "Your Majesty, with General Xiao Chen here, we will definitely be able to recover the lost territory, and we will also beat them back. This time, we will not agree to their request for peace no matter what. If we fight, we must beat them into submission and never dare to raise an army again."
