She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

At the same time, the eldest prince and General Chen, father and son, also launched an attack on Canglan. It only took half a month.

The Great Wei occupied four cities of Canglan.

The march did not stop and the army continued to advance.

The prince led the palace's secret guards behind the scenes to make bombs non-stop. They became more and more proficient in making them and were able to supply the needs of the four armies on the front line.

By the time Yu Yuanzheng had controlled the smallpox in several cities and vaccinated all the people who needed to be vaccinated, the Wei Dynasty had already captured eight cities in Canglan.

Even Prince Liu captured two cities.

Cao Jinyu and Zhao Jinyu were forced by Liu Yunshu to stay in the Nanshu military camp to help.

At that time, the four of them divided into three groups and fled in different directions. The two secret guards did not die, but were forced to jump off the cliff.

Both were highly skilled in martial arts. As they fell, they used the friction of their swords against the mountain wall to slow their descent, then grabbed onto branches of trees growing on the mountain wall. They did this several times until they came to a stop just before hitting the ground.

When they arrived at the agreed place, they got news about their master, and the two of them came to the Nanshu camp.

The four of them entered Liu Yunshu's elite camp together and followed Liu Yunshu into battle.

Liu Yunshu insisted on competing with Cao Jinyu to see who had killed more people.

If Cao Jinyu didn't kill as many people as she did, she would not acknowledge their bet.

As a result, Cao Jinyu opened fire at full power and forced the enemy to retreat step by step.

The two chased each other on the battlefield, and when they captured Canglan's Yunwu City, neither of them could remember how many people they had killed.

Prince Liu judged the match and it ended in a draw.

Liu Yunshu was not convinced and challenged Cao Jinyu to a duel.

Zhao Jinyu looked at the two bickering lovers and began to miss his fiancée.

The two men said goodbye to Prince Liu, but the iron box was still in their hands and had to be sent back to the capital.

When Liu Yunshu learned that they were leaving, she couldn't let them go and asked to go with them. She wanted to find Doctor Zeng.

Then Liu Yunshu led a hundred Southern Shu soldiers to escort them back to the capital of Wei.

Cao Jinyu wished she could go with him, as the iron box would be safer.

The cities were occupied one after another. Emperor Canglan was finally able to speak after being cured by the imperial physician, but he became incoherent again due to anger.

At the morning court session, Prince Zhu threw the battle report delivered on the same day at the ministers standing in the front row.

The ministers didn't even need to read it, they all knew what it contained.

"Now my Canglan is in danger. If we cannot stop the enemy's attack, within three months, my Canglan will no longer exist. Everyone, tell me, what should we do?" Prince Zhu was so gloomy that he wanted to kill someone.

None of the court officials dared to be the first to speak out and express their opinions.

If Canglan is destroyed, what will happen to these court officials? Will the Wei Dynasty destroy them all?

Everyone has been living in fear these days.

"Prime Minister, you speak first." Seeing that no one spoke, Prince Zhu called out the name directly.

“Your Highness, please seek peace.

If you don't ask for peace, all the soldiers of Canglan will die on the battlefield.

They are all my good sons and daughters, we cannot let them be sacrificed again.

Behind every soldier is a commoner's family. If this continues, the common people will revolt.

Our military supplies are no longer enough, and the fallen soldiers cannot receive comfort.

There are still so many captured soldiers who need to be redeemed. Canglan is on the brink of life and death."

After the old prime minister finished speaking, he knelt on the ground.

With his start, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down.

They all shouted, "Your Highness, please ask for peace."

Including several princes.

Never before had we been so united.

It reappeared in the past century.

Prince Zhu took a deep breath, raised his head and closed his eyes. When he lowered his head, there was a line of water stains on his painful face.

"Woooo..."

Some of the court officials were already sobbing.

With the first, there is the second.

In the end, the entire court was filled with crying.

In a short period of time, ten cities were lost, and they were relatively prosperous cities.

Canglan's territory is vast, but its resources are not abundant, and crops cannot grow in many places.

A desert with no grass growing on it is useless no matter how vast it is.

The ten cities lost accounted for 20% of the national treasury revenue.

Emperor Canglan, who was carried and sat on the dragon throne, also shed tears.

"Father, you see, I have no choice but to follow the will of the people." Prince Zhu was full of passion, but was beaten by the Wei Dynasty so hard that he no longer had any ambition.

He thought that after his father fell, he would take over and be able to show his strength and force Wei to surrender and become a vassal state of Canglan.

The result was that they were beaten by the Wei Dynasty without any chance to fight back and were now forced to surrender.

None of his evil schemes could stop the progress of the Wei Dynasty.

"Surrender...surrender...surrender..." Emperor Canglan squeezed out two words with difficulty.

This is agreed.

The news quickly spread throughout Canglan Capital.

After returning to Canglan, the former third old lady of Prince Rong's Mansion smashed everything that could be smashed in the hall of the mansion.

"Damn Shangguan family. I've sacrificed my whole life, and this is what I get in return?" Zhu Jingshu cursed while smashing things.

"Mother, things have come to this point. It's useless for you to be angry." Zhu Hongzhe advised calmly with an expressionless face.

He abandoned his wife and children and came to Canglan to fight for the title of a prince.

The title of prince was given to them, but as soon as the Wei Dynasty launched a counterattack, the mother and son were confined to the mansion and were not allowed to go in or out.

Now Canglan has been defeated again like a hundred years ago, and the emperor uncle is no longer able to govern the country.

One can imagine what the future holds for them and their son.

Now they, mother and son, have become homeless dogs. They cannot go back to Wei, and Canglan cannot tolerate them.

But there is no turning back.

At this time, he didn't know where to go. He was discouraged and even on the verge of despair.

"Zhe'er, follow your mother into the palace to see the Emperor. We can't be locked up like this forever.

Canglan was defeated in the battle, but my loyalty and devotion to Canglan have never been false.

We must ask your uncle for an imperial decree to allow us to settle down in Canglan."

Zhu Jingshu was afraid that once the old emperor died, there would be no one to protect her and her son.

-

When Shangguan Ziqi wanted to advance further, he received a letter of surrender personally delivered by the enemy general, which was written by Prince Canglan himself.

He had been waiting for this day.

The Great Wei had already captured eight of Canglan's cities, which was sufficient grounds for negotiation.

The emperor had already issued an imperial decree to him, stating that as long as the enemy surrendered, they would not have to advance any further.

The land in Canglan is not fertile, so it is useless to come here. Relief is still needed when natural disasters occur.

At that time, only the three provinces with iron mines will be needed, and then Canglan will become a vassal state of Wei and pay tribute every year.

Moreover, the military supplies on the Wei side were also struggling to meet demand, and could not support him to continue advancing.

At the same time, Prince Liu of Southern Shu also received a letter of surrender.

By the end of December, Yu Yuanzheng had finally brought smallpox under control in several cities, and there were no new cases.

Those who contracted smallpox and survived have all recovered.

The people all knew that it was the great doctor Zeng from the Wei Dynasty who came up with a way to prevent smallpox and saved them.

At that time, the people of Canglan arranged for smallpox patients to spread among the people, mainly in the two counties under Luoan City.

Once the disease was under control in those two counties, it stopped spreading.

In Jinjiang City and Jinhe City behind, officials have properly controlled the situation and there are only a small number of infections.

Shangguan Ziqi told her the news of receiving the letter of surrender and asked her to go to Rongbei City to celebrate the New Year with him.

Yu Yuanzheng felt very sorry when she thought that she could not celebrate the New Year with her children again.

But it’s too late to return to Beijing now.

I had no choice but to accept my husband's invitation and go to Rongbei City.

When she returned to Luoan City again, she came to Lord Zhao's house.

"Miraculous Doctor Zeng." Hua Xiangling, who had recovered from her injuries, came out happily to greet them.

She did not call Yuan Zheng cousin because she knew that Yuan Zheng went out as a miracle doctor, and it was not convenient for her to reveal her identity as cousin.

During the days of recuperation, she asked the guards to find out what Yuan Zheng's cousin was doing at any time.

She knew that her cousin's wife would come today, so she put some rouge on her face to make it look rosy so as not to worry her cousin's wife.

"County Lady, are you feeling well?" Yu Yuanzheng saw that she was dressed like a ball and knew that she was afraid of the cold.

Those who have been seriously injured and lost too much blood are afraid of the cold.

It takes time to recover.
