Empress and Empress

When Sha Pingba returned to the barracks, he looked at Suiye City in the distance and knew that he had lost his chance of victory.However, even if Suiye City is captured, it will be a failure in the end. Daqi has a large land and a large population, so even if Suiye loses, there are still many barriers, and Yuan Xingye's army is still there.

Taking Suiye City, it's just that in the struggle with Yuan Xingye, there are more opportunities.So Yuan Xingye can be defeated, but he cannot.

"Brother, eat something, you haven't eaten for a day." Luo Qing entered the military tent and said.Sha Pingba looked at the sky, and it turned out that he had been sitting alone for several hours after withdrawing his troops.

"After all, it is destiny." Sha Ping overbearing.Luo Qing was taken aback, and then said, "Didn't Big Brother always disbelieve in destiny?" Sha Pingba smiled and said, "Yes, the so-called destiny is just an excuse for himself."

"Brother, stop! If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about no firewood. Now the only way is to ask He Di for peace. As long as Xin Guo is in your hands, why don't you worry about making a comeback in the future?"

Sha Pingba laughed and said, "Do you think Yuan Xingye will watch us sue for peace, and then wait for decades to come back?"

Luo Qing said, "If Emperor He agrees, she can't go against the emperor's orders."

"I'm afraid the mission was assassinated and killed before it even arrived in Chang'an. Why did Quan Rong's mission assassinate Emperor He? Yuan Xingye was behind the scenes. But the most important thing is that Emperor He wanted to kill Quan Rong." .”

Luo Qing was astonished, "Brother, why did you say that, Emperor He has never had any intention of governing the country, how could he have the intention to destroy Quan Rong?"

"Stupid---didn't you realize that no matter what kind of crimes are committed in the Daqi court, Emperor He seldom intervenes in person, but the crime of collaborating with the enemy is full of murder. Ministers who oppose the war will be suppressed inexplicably." Sha Pingba laughed and said, "I think that Emperor He is also a long-term lover. The right time, place and people are in harmony. Yuan Xingye has all of them, so how can he be invincible?"

"Why did big brother say that? Little brother doesn't understand---" Luo Qing was a little confused, and Sha Ping was overbearing, "This involves something that happened more than ten years ago. When Emperor He was still a virtuous king, he fell in love with his companion, That is Yuan Xingye's elder brother, Yuan Chenye. And he had a heartfelt love for someone who doesn't love the country and loves beauty, and later Yuan Chenye died in Quanrong, although it was because of some schemes of the empress dowager, but in the end he died in the hands of Quanrong."

"So---" Luo Qing's heart was shaken, he didn't expect this period of history to exist.Daqi folk customs are open, and many high-ranking officials and ministers have male concubines, and it was once popular for a while.It's just that he didn't expect He Di to have such a past.

"So He Di pacified Quan Rong, just to avenge his former lover. Although I don't know how much He Di still has nostalgia for Yuan Chenye, but after all, he can be regarded as a long-term lover."

Luo Qing finally understood why Sha Pingba said that as long as Yuan Xingye did not seek rebellion, Emperor He would never do anything to Yuan Xingye.

"I think Emperor He apologized to Yuan Chenye. A living person is never comparable to a dead person. Yuan Chenye must be an extremely beautiful existence in Emperor He's heart. Why did Emperor He give Yuan Xingye the title of Fengyong?" This title was given to Yuan Chenye back then."

Sha Pingba took a sip of the cold tea and said slowly.Hearing these anecdotes, Luo Qing couldn't believe it.He has followed Sha Pingba for many years, and this is the first time he has heard of these things.

"Then does Yuan Xingye know about this?"

"I only told her that her brother died at the hands of the royal family. As for why she died, it depends on whether she has the heart to find out the past. But I wanted to use this incident to disturb her mind and make her feel sorry for He Di. I felt vigilant, but I didn't expect that she didn't respond at all."

"Then what shall we do next? According to the big brother, if Yuan Xingye tries his best to attack Xinguo, Emperor He will not object." Luo Qing said.

"That's right, not only will Emperor He not stop him, but he will also support him vigorously. After all, this is an achievement for thousands of years, and the emperor doesn't want it." Sha Ping is domineering. He usually doesn't say so much, maybe because he is a little discouraged. Cold, maybe it's the blow of these days, and his words have become more.

"Then are we going to be beaten passively like this?" Luo Qing frowned.

"Now it's me who wants to stop, and Yuan Xingye is not willing---not to mention that it's not in my character to stop like this." Sha Pingba stood up and said with a smile, "What does Xinguo have to do with me? I just want to defeat Yuan Xingye, after so many days, there should be news from Hukou, but Shiri Suiye's army has increased to 60."

Looking at Sha Pingba's smile, Luo Qing silently swallowed his words of persuasion. He knew that no matter what he said, Sha Pingba would not listen to her opinion.

When Luoyan woke up that night, she tidied up and then discussed with Zhao Guang the defense of Suiye City and some ways to deal with the new attack in the future.Naturally, when Li Yiting went to Yin's mansion to look for her, she was in vain.

Luoyan was discussing with Zhao Guang when a scout stepped forward and handed a letter sent by Feige to Luoyan, who then handed it to Zhao Guang after reading it.

Zhao Guang said excitedly, "That's great. The marshal has captured Hukou, and breaking through the Xin Kingdom is just around the corner." Luo Yan was also very happy, and said with a smile, "Now that Hukou is in my hands, the marshal will go west and take Loulan City directly. We just need to contain Sha Pingba."

Naturally, Sha Pingba also got the news not long after. He was stunned for a while, and then said, "The whole army will return to defend Loulan City."

On the second day, Luo Yan and Zhao Guang discovered that the Xin* camp not far away had left the camp without a sound overnight.Sha Pingba did not attack Suiye again, but returned to defend Loulan.

If Loulan cannot be kept, the day when Loulan City is destroyed, Xinguo will become history.

Yuan Xingye attacked the city all the way, and arrived at Loulan one day later than Sha Pingba's. After Sha Pingba returned to defend Loulan, Luo Yan and Zhao Guang also brought half of Suiye City's army with them. Departure, all the way down the Chancheng and Xinlan.

It was the first time for Daqi to reach the position of Loulan in the struggle with the countries of the Western Regions.

Yuan Xingye looked at Loulan City from a distance. The ancient city of Loulan was three feet high, which was more than enough compared to Chang'an.Loulan is located in an important road, and Loulan City is naturally very prosperous. On weekdays, there would be businessmen from various countries coming and going in Loulan City, but now the city gates are closed, and the streets in the city are abnormally bleak, and they have long since lost the scenery of the past.

In the Loulan Palace, a teenage boy was wearing a yellow imperial costume. The boy was pale and trembling on the dragon chair.He couldn't help but said, "Yuan---Marshal, why don't we surrender to Daqi, just like the class of Dayue, it's not bad to be a vassal. Why do we have to fight to the death?"

Sha Pingba said indifferently, "Your Majesty, we are the ones who want to surrender now. Neither Emperor Daqi nor Yuan Xingye will accept it. After all, our country still has an army of 10,000+, and it only takes a few years to recover. Now that they are approaching the city, they Will not let this opportunity go.”

The young man's voice was filled with tears, and he begged, "Marshal, think of a way, I don't want to die yet." He was just promoted to the role of emperor by Sha Pingba, if he wasn't the emperor, he could just walk away.

As if he had seen through his thoughts, Sha Pingba said lightly, "Your Majesty, don't think that you can leave Loulan and go to other places, not to mention that Yuan Xingye has already surrounded Loulan. Even if Daqi controls the entire Western Region in the future, the Emperor can hide in this place." Where are you going?"

The boy wanted to cry but had no tears, "Then what should we do?"

"Shou---the food in Loulan City is enough for us to use for half a year, and the weapons are also very sufficient. As long as we fight for a certain amount of time, we will start a long-term battle. When their morale declines, we will counterattack and have a certain strength. Only then can we negotiate with the other party. Otherwise, at this time, if Da Qi asks for a price, how will the emperor deal with himself?"

"Okay, everything is according to what the marshal said, and the marshal must save me!" At this time, the young man no longer regarded himself as a yellow emperor at all, he only felt that he was not as good as an ordinary person because he was being mermaid.

Sha Pingba nodded, turned around and left the palace. The young man wanted to cry, but he said after a while, "Do you think I should obey him? Take me away, okay?"

After a while, a person appeared in the hall, and it was Humidu who disappeared at Hukou.On the same day, Xiu Midu was knocked unconscious by the lieutenant general, and her personal soldiers led her to leave through a secret door in Hukou, thus avoiding the Qi army's search.When she woke up, she was dozens of miles away from the mouth of the pot.

At that time, Hukou had been completely occupied by the Qi army, and her subordinates were killed or injured.After that, Xiu Midu wanted to go back to Hukou and fight Qi Jun, but was persuaded by the soldiers, and then returned to Loulan City.

The soldiers said that at this time, apart from her, there is no general who is sincerely for the new country. If she dies, then Sha Pingba will really ruin the new country.

If she is still alive, at least she can keep the royal line.When Yuan Xingye was trying to persuade her to surrender that day, although she vowed that she didn't mind if the royal line was cut off, Humidu would not give up if she had a chance to keep it.

She stepped forward and said lightly, "Your Majesty, the situation is still unclear, so you can't just walk away."

The young man cried, "Don't lie to me, General. Now that Qi's army is approaching the city, the situation is already clear. The power of one of us and one country to fight against Daqi is like a mantis' arms. Now there is only a lonely city left. What kind of country are you talking about?"

A touch of sadness rose in Xiu Midu's heart, and she bowed down and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, even if you risk your life, the general will keep the majesty safe. Please be patient for a while, your majesty. Only by relying on Sha Pingba can Loulan City be safe for the time being." .”

The young man felt more at ease. Although he didn't understand political affairs, he knew that the person in front of him was loyal to him, or his sister Xiaomeng.Now, only Humi Poison can be trusted.
