My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

After Xue Youli met with Chu Xinyue, they discussed military matters and then took a rest.

There will be tough battles to fight every day, and they must ensure they have enough energy.

The next day, just after dawn, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue were ready to go.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard a hurried call from behind.

"Li'er! Wait!"

Xue Youli pulled the reins and turned to look at the source of the sound. At a glance, he saw Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Wuyou chasing in that direction.

The father and son were carrying several bags on their backs. After they ran a few steps, the bags slipped off their shoulders and they looked a little embarrassed.

Xue Youli dismounted and looked at the two men who were chasing after him breathlessly. He felt a little distressed, "Dad, Third Brother, why are you here?"

Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Wuyou exchanged glances, then Xue Huaiyuan coughed lightly and replied, "The northeastern border is a bitterly cold place. Your mother is worried about you, so she packed some clothes and food overnight for me and your third brother to bring to you!"

Yesterday in the court, Xue Huaiyuan witnessed the entire process of Chu Xinyue being appointed commander.

Chu Xinyue has a good relationship with Xue Youli, and everyone in the Xue family knows it.

When Chu Xinyue was going to the border, Xue Huaiyuan guessed that his daughter would probably go with her.

Yesterday he asked Xue Wuyou to quietly come to Prince Kang's Mansion to inquire about the time of his daughter's departure, and rushed over to see them off.

Xue Wuyou nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes! Dad definitely didn't pack these things overnight! Mom prepared them all! Sister, I also prepared a lot of your favorite snacks and dried meat for you. Don't starve yourself on the road! When you get to the border, you must take good care of yourself, okay?"

Xue Youli looked at the worry and reluctance in their eyes, and her nose felt inexplicably sore.

She bit her lip and nodded vigorously, "I know! Daddy, Third Brother, go back and tell Mom too. I will take good care of myself!"

Xue Huaiyuan opened his mouth but before he could say anything, his eyes turned red.

When a son travels far away, his father worries about him!

How could he feel at ease when his daughter Li'er had never been to such a far place alone since she was a child?

He pushed his third son forward, choked up, and turned his face away. "Tell your sister the rest!"

He was afraid that if he continued talking, he would not be able to hold back and burst into tears on the spot.

After all, there are outsiders here, and he also wants to save face!

Xue Wuyou took off his and his own bags one by one and handed them to Xue Youli. "Ali, nothing else matters. The most important thing is that you and the princess return safely!"

Chu Xinyue, who was standing nearby, immediately nodded and said to the Xue family father and son, "Uncle, Third Brother, I will protect Ah Li and make sure not even a hair on her head is lost!"

Xue Huaiyuan turned his head and looked at Chu Xinyue, "Princess, you must take good care of yourself! Two of these bags are for you!"

Chu Xinyue's parents had both passed away, so when Xue Huaiyuan prepared something for Xue Youli, he also brought some for her.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Xue Youli chatted with them for a few more words, then looked up at the gorgeous morning glow in the sky. "Dad, Third Brother, it's getting late. We should leave."

Xue Huaiyuan's eyes instantly turned red when he heard these words.

He felt sad and reluctant, but still waved at Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue, "Let's go! Be careful on the road!"

Chu Xinyue raised the sword in her hand and gave the order in a sonorous and powerful voice, "All soldiers, listen up! Move out!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers answered loudly.

They packed their luggage and got on the carriage and mounted their horses.

With solemn and resolute expressions, they set out for the border with their families' earnest expectations.

So, Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Wuzhi watched Xue Youli, Chu Xinyue and their group slowly walk away.

After everyone had completely disappeared from the street, Xue Huaiyuan could no longer hold back, "Wuwuwu... Li'er... Daddy's darling daughter... You must come back soon..."

Xue Wuyou patted Xue Huaiyuan on the back and reminded him softly, "Dad, don't cry. It's dawn now. If someone recognizes you, it will be embarrassing."

Xue Huaiyuan slapped him on the head and said angrily, "You unfilial son, your sister went to such a dangerous place, and I can't cry? If someone sees it, let them watch it. I don't mind being embarrassed... Wuuuu... Li'er... you have to come back soon..."

Xue Wuyou rubbed his head, rolled his eyes, and said to him, "I heard that crying when sending off relatives is unlucky!"

"You little brat, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Xue Huaiyuan glared at him and wiped away his tears with his sleeve. "Let's go! Let's go home! With Princess Qinghe protecting us, your sister will definitely return safely!"

?

Just a few days after Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue left the capital, famine broke out in Jiangnan.

Although Murong Ye was far away in Japan, he was the first to receive the news that the victims of the famine were fleeing everywhere, and he informed Hisaikawa Kazuo that they could prepare to attack the border of Kyushu.

"The commander Murong Che sent this time is a woman who has never been on the battlefield. Coupled with the famine that has broken out in Jiuzhou, Murong Che must be extremely worried. Now is the best time for us to send troops!"

Kusai Chuan Yifu immediately said, "I'll take you to see the king to discuss the matter of sending troops!"

"Okay, Father!"

In order to gain the support of Kusai Kazuo, Murong Ye married Kusai Hezi on the first night they arrived in Japan.

Even though Jiucai Hezi's face was disfigured, he was patient and gentle with her, and took her feelings into consideration no matter what he did.

After spending a few days together, Jiu Caichuan Yifu took Murong Ye's every word and action into consideration and was very satisfied with him as his son-in-law.

Therefore, when he learned that large cities in the south of Jiuzhou were suffering from famine, he immediately took Murong Ye to meet the king of Japan.

The King of Japan has no strength and no opinions of his own. He just agrees with whatever Hisakawa Kazuo says.

So, not long after the three of them had a secret conversation, the King of Japan issued an order to attack the border of Kyushu according to Hisakawa Kazuo's wishes.

Kusaichuan Yifu was the commander-in-chief. Murong Ye knew the terrain of Jiuzhou and the fighting style of the Jiuzhou generals very well, so he followed Kusaichuan Yifu and served as a military advisor.

This time, Japan placed all its chips on Murong Ye. Not only did it send out an army of 80,000, but it also selected 1,000 ninjas with the strongest Japanese ninjutsu to accompany him.

Jiucaichuan Yifu was very frank with Murong Ye and directly told him the entire battle plan. "The ninjas are going to assassinate the commander who came to the border first. Once the commander is dead, the morale of the Jiuzhou army will be broken! After the commander is eliminated, I will send some ninjas to infiltrate your Jiuzhou Palace and assassinate the Jiuzhou Emperor. With the emperor gone, Jiuzhou will be yours and mine!"

Murong Ye heard the hidden meaning in his last sentence. This Jiu Caichuan Yifu was very ambitious. Not only did the King of Japan obey his orders, but now he also wanted to annex the entire Jiuzhou, and he was not afraid of being choked to death by him.

Murong Ye muttered a few words in his heart, but on the surface he remained extremely respectful to him, "I will follow my father's arrangements in everything!"

After he married Hisako Kusai, he also changed the way he addressed Hisako Kusai.

Kazuo Kusaichuan had no sons, only two daughters.

Murong Ye called him "father", which made him feel relieved. "Okay, you are most familiar with the situation in Jiuzhou. After we break through the northeastern border, I will arrange for you to go to Jiuzhou's capital to inquire about the news!"

Murong Ye stood at attention and lowered his head, "Hi!"

Seeing that he had mastered Japanese etiquette to perfection, Kusaichuan Yifu threw his head back and laughed, "Mr. Murong, don't worry, I will definitely help you take the throne of the Emperor of Jiuzhou. However, as we agreed before, the cities in the northeast will belong to me, and you can't go back on your word."

Murong Ye sneered in his heart, but his expression became more respectful. "We in Jiuzhou have a saying that goes, 'Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back.' I will definitely do what I promised you!"

However, whether he will still be alive to enjoy the joy of victory by then is another matter!

……

Jiuzhou, the imperial palace.

Xuanzheng Hall.

During the morning court session, officials were reporting to Murong Che about the famine in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Majesty, thanks to your timely allocation of disaster relief grain, the famine victims have received sufficient food, and the government has also stepped in to properly accommodate them."

"In addition to opening granaries and releasing grain, local governments, following your instructions and after investigating the disaster, have begun water conservancy projects. Now the famine is under control, and the people's hearts have been appeased!"

"Your Majesty is wise! Thanks to your early call for the people to plant cold-resistant crops, we were able to produce so much food in the face of famine!"

"It only took us three days to completely control the famine! The relief grain sent to Jiangnan was sufficient, and there were no casualties among the victims. This is a first in the history of Jiuzhou!"

"Officials in Jiangnan, following your instructions, have deliberately exaggerated the severity of the famine. They've already spread rumors of victims fleeing everywhere to the northern and northeastern borders!"

What Murong Ye received was false news that Murong Che had ordered to be spread deliberately to confuse them.

In fact, after learning that Japan had sent troops to attack the northeastern border, all the people of Kyushu, including the victims of the disaster, signed up to join the army, wanting to do their part to protect their families and the land of Kyushu!

The disaster brought all the people of Jiuzhou together. They had only one thought in their minds: to drive out the enemy and protect the country!

At this moment, when the ministers in the court mentioned the famine, no one looked sad, but their eyes were brighter than each other.

Some of them had been officials for decades, but this was the first time they realized that preventing famine in advance could not only save the lives of so many people, but also make everyone think and work together!

After listening to everyone's words, Murong Che's eyes lit up with a smile of strategic planning. "The idea of ​​planting cold-resistant crops was first proposed by Concubine Xi when she accidentally saw them in the cold palace. She suggested to me that drought-stricken areas should promote the planting of such cold-resistant crops. Inspired by her, I ordered officials to travel to various places to promote the planting of crops like sorghum. This disaster was brought under control in the shortest possible time, and Concubine Xi played an indispensable role!"

"Empress Xi is a man of great insight. Her proposal has saved the lives of countless people in Jiuzhou!"

After hearing Murong Che's words, the ministers showed great respect to Xue Youli.

Murong Che listened to them praising Xue Youli, his thin lips curled up slightly, but a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.

Counting the days, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue should have arrived at the northeastern border. I wonder how they are doing now.

At the same time, in the tent on the northeastern border, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue, wearing thick brocade cloaks, lowered their heads to study the territorial map on the table.

They had never been so close to the battlefield. In order to protect all the soldiers who followed them to the border, they carefully compared several cities bordering Japan and discussed battle strategies.

After a moment, Xue Youli raised his hand and pointed at Ningcheng in the middle, and said to Chu Xinyue, "Ayue, Ningcheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the road behind is flat, which is convenient for support. Let's lure the main force of the Japanese here and have some fun with them!"

Chu Xinyue nodded. "But Murong Ye is from Jiuzhou. He has fought on the battlefield with the army more than once before, so he should be very familiar with the terrain of Ningcheng. Will he be fooled?"

Xue Youli glanced at the territorial map and said with certainty, "He will! If he knew it was you and Murong Nan who came to the border to confront him, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams!"

In Murong Ye's opinion, Murong Nan was just an idle prince who had accomplished nothing, while Chu Xinyue had martial arts skills but acted recklessly.

Such a couple who had never been to the battlefield became the commander-in-chief of this battle against Japan. When Murong Ye heard the news, he would definitely underestimate the enemy.
