The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

After a long while, Wei Junyan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I think you can send Marquis Xuanping to lead the troops to attack Yongzhou."

Before the King of Yan grew up, the southern border had always been guarded by Marquis Xuanping, who was quite famous. Later, he was transferred by the previous emperor to guard the Huaijiang Pass in the south. In today's Daxia, he is considered a general who can fight... Chu Tianling nodded, "What do you think?"

Minister of War Lu said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Marquis Xuanping is indeed the most suitable candidate." This person had some conflicts with the King of Yan in his early years. If he can attack Yongzhou, he will definitely do his best...

Chu Tianling said in a deep voice, "In this case, pass on my order to appoint Xuanping Hou as the general who will pacify bandits and lead an army of 200,000 to attack Yongzhou."

"I accept the decree"

Chu Tianling waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone go down first." Everyone bowed their heads and left, but Zhang Yuwei, Jun Yan and Chu Wenzheng stayed.

Chu Tianling then said coldly, "Uncle, don't you want to explain?"

Chu Wenzheng smiled and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Chu Tianling said angrily, "Did you know about Lao Qi's background a long time ago?" Although he showed disbelief in front of everyone, he knew in his heart that with Lao Qi's personality, he would never suddenly make a joke about such a thing.

Thinking back to the fact that Bai Chuxiao was clearly guarding Emperor Wenxuan that night, but she watched him get angry to death, the accusations from Prince Yan were most likely true.

Chu Wenzheng smiled playfully and said, "It is the Duke of Zhenguo who should explain this matter to everyone."

Wei Junyan snorted coldly, "What does it have to do with me? My duke just had some grievances with that old man Murong Yuan in his early years. The Prince of Yan is clearly taking advantage of the situation..." Now that so many years have passed, there is no evidence to prove anything. The late emperor is dead. As long as he doesn't admit it, what can be done to him?

Chu Tianling looked at the people below him with cold eyes. He also understood what his uncle had done in the past. However, the Wei family relied on this to rise to power, so they had him, the son of the noble concubine. Naturally, he could only help the Wei family keep it a secret...

Zhang Yu also said with a gloomy face, "There is no point in tangling with those things. The King of Yan has included us all. When the King of Yan really attacks the imperial city, none of us will be able to escape. We should just focus on the outside world."

……

As soon as Marquis Xuanping received the order and had not yet set out, news came that the Nanjiang army that had been crippled by the King of Yan suddenly made a comeback and sent more than 100,000 troops to attack Jieming Pass. At the same time, the King of Xiang also rebelled.

While everyone's attention was drawn to the King of Yan, the King of Xiang took over the two states of Tan and Pu in the south of the Huai River with lightning speed, and even raised a similar banner as the King of Yan: Chu Tianling killed the king and his brother, and held his mother, the virtuous concubine, hostage. From now on, the king will follow the general trend, purge the traitors and pacify the national crisis...

When Chu Tianling received the news, he smashed the imperial study to pieces. Prince Xiang was colluding with Nanjiang...

"Rebellious ministers and traitors"

"Rebellious ministers and traitors"

Later, they had to issue a new decree, asking the Marquis of Xuanping, who was originally going to attack Yongzhou, to attack King Xiang and Southern Xinjiang first. After all, King Xiang's fiefdom was in Huzhou, which was separated from Jiangnan by a river. If he crossed the Huai River, Jiangnan would be in danger. Jiangnan was not comparable to the western region occupied by King Yan.

But the matter did not end there. The King of Yan withdrew from the northwest, and Pang Kun and Zhang Tuo, who were released, took over the entire northwest as they wished. Before they could withdraw troops to retake Shuozhou, the Western Yue army directly broke through Yumen Pass, captured several cities in a row, and occupied the entire Dingzhou...

Pang Kun and the others were in no mood to deal with the King of Yan, so they could only concentrate on dealing with the King of Huainan in Xiyue. Only after they had a real fight did they realize how difficult this King of Huainan was.

I also understand how difficult it was for the King of Yan and Murong Yuan to stop the King of Huainan with their weaker military force than Xiyue.

The bad news came one after another, and Chu Tianling, who thought he was strong, couldn't help but spit out blood and fainted.

……

Without the interference of the imperial army, Jizhou, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, was quickly taken. From then on, the four states of Yongyu, Jishuo, and Shuozhou were all under the control of the King of Yan.

Murong Cheng, Murong Che and Murong Shuo stayed in Shuozhou to guard against the imperial army, while Shen Tao and Song Fei took over the defense of Ji and Yu states.

Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao returned to Yongzhou with Murong Yuan, Yu Fengyang, Murong Xuan, Cui Hao and part of the army.

On the way back to Yongzhou, Chu Tianze, who received the news, was unusually angry and said, "Waste!"

Bai Chuxiao said helplessly, "What happened in Xiyue was expected, wasn't it?"

Murong Yuan sighed, "Fortunately, the people of Dingzhou were not harmed."

Bai Chuxiao smiled bitterly. The Murong family had guarded Dingzhou for many years, and she had grown up in Dingzhou since she was a child. Now Dingzhou was occupied by Xiyue. They felt bad, but they had to withdraw from the northwest...

Fan Ziming said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Princess, and Lord Marquis, don't blame yourselves. Although the three states have recruited many soldiers and horses, our current strength is still nothing compared to the Western Yue army and the millions of troops of the imperial court. We should recruit soldiers as soon as possible now."

Murong Xuan said slowly, "It's a good time for the King of Xiang to rebel. It has temporarily relieved us of a lot of pressure."

Chu Tianze sneered, "He is so brave that he actually dared to collude with Nanjiang."

Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow and said, "There aren't many soldiers in Southern Xinjiang. It will be difficult for him to pacify the country. Let him go. It's a good opportunity for us to take a breath."

Chu Tianze nodded. He had expected this day when he asked the Black Armor Army to withdraw from the pass. The west was barren. Now, whether it was the King of Southern Xinjiang or the King of Huainan in Western Yue, they would not give up other good territories and bother to attack them. They just took this opportunity to reorganize their troops.

"Let's put the conscription issue off until after the New Year."

……

At the gate of Yongzhou, everything was in order. The people were surprised by the decision made by the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but they quickly accepted it. Unlike other states that were ravaged by war, Yongzhou was peaceful and red lanterns were hung early to welcome the arrival of New Year's Eve...

In Yongzhou City, the people on the street were curiously looking at the woman on horseback beside the King of Yan in front of the team.

"Is that the princess..."

"The princess and the prince are a perfect match..."

Feeling the gazes and whispers of the people, Bai Chuxiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and whispered to the man beside her:

"You have governed Yongzhou well."

Chu Tianze said calmly, "Madam, you are too kind."

Bai Chuxiao blinked, "But let's hurry back home." These people looked at her like a monkey...

In front of the Prince of Yan's mansion, the palace steward and his men were already waiting

Chu Tianze waved his hands, not wanting to make any big noise, and together with Bai Chuxiao, he helped Murong Yuan into the mansion. After all, Murong Yuan was old, and his health had become a little worse after a series of hardships in the past few months...

Mrs. Xu, the old lady of Murong who was sent back to Yongzhou first, and Princess Murong Shen who was brought back from Jiangnan, were already waiting in the hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess"

Chu Tianze smiled and said, "We are all family, no need to be polite"

Murong Yuan just sat down and started coughing uncontrollably.

Everyone looked over with some concern. Bai Chuxiao said worriedly, "Grandfather..."

Murong Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, just a little cold."
