Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

If the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince did not want that position at first, now that they have political achievements, they can also fight for it, so they all want to go to the front line.

Finally, the brother and sister-in-law drew lots and decided that the seventh prince would go to the front line, and the other two would stay behind to help.

The seventh prince was very happy and led his men out of the city overnight.

Xuanyuan Xun and Xuanyuan Hou stayed behind. It happened that the person in charge of the city was Li Jian, who was also familiar with Xuanyuan Hou. So that night they worked together to discuss how to resettle the original residents of Nanmao and quickly take control of the captured city.

In fact, Mi Yao and Zhan Xiao had already planned a series of plans, and they just needed to leave people behind to execute them. Xuanyuan Xun slowly learned from the conversation among several people that these generals defending the city were actually old acquaintances of Xuanyuan Hou. The small buds that had just emerged during the day withered instantly, so he finally made a decision. If his fifth brother was to hold that position in the future, he would do his best to help him.

With the right mindset, Xuanyuanxun suddenly felt enlightened.

With Mi Yao's various plans, Xuanyuan Hou and Xuanyuan Xun implemented them like fish in water, especially Xuanyuan Xun, who was well-read. At the end of the day, he was full of curiosity about the wife of the man of that status he once had.

He was once the son of the Zhan family. Although he is now a prince, he also likes the atmosphere of the Zhan family.

Now that he has decided to help Xuanyuan Hou, he must do his best.

Their brothers were soon present in several cities they captured. They comforted the people with words, and brought benefits and hope to the people with silver and food. They actively provided treatment to the sick people and quickly arranged affordable housing for the homeless people. This series of measures gave the people of the former Nanmao hope.

For the common people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor. As long as the people can live a good life, not suffer from war, and have enough food and warm clothes, it doesn't matter who is in power.

With strong benefits, people quickly returned to their normal lives.

The name of the fifth prince of Dongqi gradually became a household name among the people.

At first, Marquis Xuanyuan felt a little unworthy, and he did not dare to take all the credit for his master. That night, Li Jian brought him a handwritten letter from Mi Yao. Mi Yao gave Marquis Xuanyuan great support and trust, and asked him to treat his people well.

Xuanyuan Hou held Mi Yao's letter against his chest until tears began to fall.

It turns out that everything the master did was for himself.

With Mi Yao's support, Xuanyuan Hou worked harder and treated every former Nanmao citizen like his own family. Unknowingly, the people had great trust in Xuanyuan Hou. In addition, Xuanyuan Xun was willing to hide his merits and fame, so now there is a lot of demand for Xuanyuan Hou in Nanmao.

The Seventh Prince finally caught up with Dongqi's army two days later and read out the imperial edict.

When the Seventh Prince saw how powerful the Zhan family was, he wanted to recruit them for his own use. That way, he, the eldest prince, the illegitimate son, and the second prince, the eldest son, would all be able to fight.

Zhan Xiao felt a little unhappy when he saw the old emperor's edict. The old emperor used the Zhan family as a tool in his words and deeds. When he got Nanmao in the future, he would get rid of the donkey after it was no longer useful...

The Seventh Prince originally wanted to get close to the Zhan brothers and build relations with them, but unfortunately, none of the other brothers were buying it. The Seventh Prince was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he believed that the luck he got by drawing lots would not be too bad.

When the Seventh Prince woke up the next day, the Dongqi army had already attacked the next city in the early morning.

The Seventh Prince pounded the bed in annoyance.

The war lord stopped only after he had conquered thirteen cities of Nanmao. Shi Xiu, with the power of his maternal family and the shadow guards left to him by Queen Nanmao, quickly occupied the palace and controlled Emperor Nanmao. Concubine Nan led her men to resist stubbornly, but Zhang Bing, Lu Han and others captured the thief and the king and killed Concubine Nan in one fell swoop.

Once the evil concubine was eliminated, other things would be easy to handle. Shi Xiu wiped out Concubine Nan's mother's family at lightning speed, from top to bottom, with one word: "Kill!"

Shi Xiu remembered what Mi Yao said: If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze. A momentary woman's kindness will only leave endless troubles for yourself. As a superior, which one doesn't step on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? The people may be afraid of this emperor for a while, but if this emperor allows the people to live a good life in the future, the dark things in the past will naturally be forgotten.

Dongqi Palace

Emperor Dongqi let the two princes handle part of the state affairs, but he didn't expect that he was more exhausted than before. He had to check the two princes' ability to govern the country. He was worried that the two princes did not know how to govern the country, and he was also afraid that his sons would be too outstanding and surpass himself. In short, the latter was more likely.

The eldest and second princes lived up to expectations and worked tirelessly on government affairs every day. At the same time, they secretly won over ministers to strengthen their own power. This little move was soon noticed by Emperor Dongqi.

Emperor Dongqi felt very disappointed with Xuanyuan Che, but fortunately, a few days later, a good news came back, which made Xuanyuan Che feel a little better.

A month later, a piece of good news was delivered to the Golden Palace.

"My dear ministers, Nanmao is in turmoil, and the third prince Nanxiu has inherited the throne. The first thing he has to do is to negotiate peace with our Dongqi. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, war is always costly and exhausting, and it hurts the foundation of the country. Now General Zhan has already conquered thirteen cities in Nanmao. This achievement is commendable, but our Dongqi army has also suffered serious losses, including silver, food, and the death of soldiers. I think we should negotiate peace with Nanmao." The Minister of Revenue came out.

"Your Majesty, I think Lord Wen is right. Most of the financial and material resources of our Dongqi army have been used in the battle of Nanmao. Xirong and Beisheng are already eyeing us covetously. If these two countries join hands, I'm afraid..." The Minister of War expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, I think the Zhan family army is brave and good at fighting. They have conquered the thirteen cities of Nanmao in less than two months. I believe that in the near future, Nanmao will be in the hands of Dongqi." said an official from the Ministry of Personnel.

"Lord Wang, do you know how much silver, how much food, and how many soldiers' lives will be needed to achieve what you said?" asked the Minister of Revenue.

The official from the Ministry of Personnel was speechless.

"Report... Urgent battle report from the border 800 miles away..."

"Report... Urgent battle report from the border 800 miles away..."

"Report... Urgent battle report from the border 800 miles away..."

While the ministers in the Golden Palace were still arguing, urgent battle reports from the border eight hundred miles away were delivered to the Golden Palace.

When Xuanyuan Che opened it, the excitement he felt at the beginning immediately dissipated.

The Western Rong army assembled 300,000 troops to approach the border, and the Northern Saint army also had 300,000 troops, and at the same time they were approaching the Dongqi border. Their purpose was self-evident.

Just now we were discussing whether to fight or make peace with Nanmao, but now Xirong and Beisheng have started to send troops.

"The Western Rong and the Northern Saint are invading. Which general is willing to lead the troops to fight?" Emperor Dongqi looked at the generals in the court.

"I am willing to lead the troops to war!"

"I am willing to lead the troops to war!"

Two military generals came out.
