This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 164 Princess Yunchang

July [-].

Yunbo Dynasty, the imperial palace.

In the crowded court hall, there was silence and depression.

On the imperial throne bordered by golden clouds and with green waves as the background, an old man with a hooked nose, sunken pupils and wearing a crimson imperial robe sat sullenly. He was the emperor of the Yunbo Dynasty, Mu Lianghuai. .

Like Emperor David, he also never thought that the Five Dynasties Alliance against Xia would be a huge scam, and he never thought that the Qingqiu Dynasty, which presides over the alliance, would raise troops into Yunbo!

Of course, he did not expect that the background and strength of the Qingqiu Dynasty would be so terrifying, it is simply not the same!

In just ten days, the enemy army almost conquered all the key towns in the south of Yunbo, separating the southern territory from Yunbo!
So realistic, like a dream, it makes people feel very unreal.

Thinking back 20 years ago, the Yunbo Dynasty invaded the hinterland of Qingqiu, and almost occupied the land of the five prefectures in the northwest of Qingqiu.

Unexpectedly, 20 years later, the situation is completely reversed, and the intensity is many times stronger than that of 20 years ago!
If the destruction of the Lidan camp could be attributed to the enemy's conspiracy, then the subsequent battle would be completely arbitrarily pushed.

The total strength of the Yunbo Dynasty's five strongholds in the south is nearly 50, and most of them are well-defended and the terrain is dangerous, but none of them can survive three days!
The battle between the two sides is almost a one-sided situation.

Nine days ago, the enemy sent a cavalry force of only [-] people all the way northward, intending to take advantage of the time when Yunbo's main army retreated to break into the core area of ​​Yunbo, and wait for the opportunity to attack Yunbo's supply line from the rear.

Although this cavalry was intercepted in time by the [-] elite cavalry led by Eagle Strike General Lin Chuang at Ronglin Ancient Ferry, the results of the battle gave chills down the spine.

Because of this battle, [-] of Yunbo's [-] fine cavalry were killed and more than [-] were seriously injured, while the enemy army only died less than [-]!
If the guerrilla general Cao Ke's [-] vanguard cavalry hadn't arrived in time to deter the enemy, the [-] fine cavalry under Lin Chuang's command might have been wiped out!

It was also through this battle that the Yunbo Dynasty clearly realized how terrifying Qingqiu's army is!
Since six days ago, the main army under the command of Yang Jun of Shangzhu Kingdom has arrived in the Ronglin Mountains one after another, and the last available 25 elite mobilized by the imperial court also arrived later.

So far, the main army of the Yunbo Dynasty on the front line of the Ronglin Mountains has reached 100 million.

The geographical advantage of the Ronglin Mountains is entirely on the defender's side, and Yang Jun of Shangzhu Kingdom personally leads the deployment, so it should not be a big problem.

However, no one in Yunbo's top management, including Yang Jun, could feel at ease after realizing the terrifying fighting power of Qingqiu's army.

Therefore, Yang Jun wrote a request to mobilize the available city guards as a reserve force to strengthen the defense.

In this regard, Mu Lianghuai did not object, and gave a quota of 80 city guards.

Up to now, 50 city guards have been put in place, and the remaining 30 are still on the way.

Three days ago, the army of the Qingqiu Dynasty arrived at the line of the Ronglin Mountains one after another.

The army sent by the Qingqiu Dynasty this time has a total of one million people. Up to now, Qingqiu has assembled an army of 70 on the front line of the Ronglin Mountains.

Although one's own troops occupy a great advantage and occupy a favorable location, Yunbo's people are still panicked.

You know, the enemy suffered a total of less than 5 casualties in successive battles!

Now, the Yunbo Dynasty put all their hopes on Yang Jun. In the battle of the Ronglin Mountains, if their side loses, there is only one end-destruction of the country!
Because, almost all of Yunbo's available troops are there now, only the imperial capital still retains [-] garrison troops and [-] forbidden troops.

If the decisive battle is defeated, there is nothing that can be done with this little force!
Therefore, although the decisive battle has not yet begun, the Yunbo court is already covered by dark clouds, and many people are gloomy and feel extremely heavy.

After a long silence, a voice finally broke the deadlock.

"Your Majesty, I think, to be on the safe side, it's better to seek foreign aid..."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the ministers in the palace moved slightly, and they all quietly stared at the imperial steps, wanting to see how their majesty would react.

Although this person didn't explicitly say which foreign aid he was looking for, given the current situation, besides the Great Xia Dynasty, which foreign aid could he have?

Mu Lianghuai frowned, but didn't speak.

After a few breaths, another voice sounded.

"Big Xia is also a tiger and a wolf. If I ask them for help, I am afraid that what I ask for is not help, but a disaster for the destruction of the country!"

"Don't forget, the Great Viet Dynasty is the best example! Master Sun wants me, Yunbo, to become the next Great Viet?"

Hearing the rebuttal, Sun Qixin, the advising doctor who spoke earlier, frowned.

"Then according to Lord Qian's intention, I, Yunbo, will just wait quietly without doing anything, waiting to be destroyed by Qingqiu?"

The official surnamed Qian glared at Sun Qixin, showing displeasure.

"Master Sun, are you questioning the ability of Shangzhu Kingdom? Before the battle begins, Master Sun is sure that our army will be defeated. What is your intention?"

Sun Qixin squinted his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Master Qian, don't label Sun indiscriminately! Sun said it, just in case!"

"If our army is really defeated, the enemy army will be able to drive straight in and kill the imperial capital in a very short period of time! Then, when will there be time to ask for help?"

The official surnamed Qian snorted coldly, with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"So, Master Sun wants me, Yunbo, to follow David's example and give the princess, or even the concubine, to the Great Xia Emperor to play with?"

Sun Qixin's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Qian, don't talk nonsense, when did Sun say that?"

"In the exchange of interests between countries, the most important thing is territory, mineral veins and other substantive resources, not beauty."

"If you want to get Daxia to send troops to help, these are the real reliable ones."

The official surnamed Qian sneered, and said with disdain: "It seems that Mr. Sun still doesn't know much about the inside story of David's request for help."

"David's envoys have never even seen Emperor Daxia's face. If they want to meet Emperor Daxia and pray for Daxia's help, the prerequisite is that David first send the most beautiful princess and concubine to him. go."

"Master Sun thinks that Daxia will treat my Yunbo Dynasty differently?"

Sun Qixin couldn't help choking, his eyes changed for a while, and then he returned to the train without making a sound.

This question is too sensitive, if he continues to talk about it, he really doesn't know if something will go wrong, and he may even lose his life.

After a few breaths of silence, another unsure voice sounded.

"Perhaps, we can use the item of becoming a vassal state of Daxia to get Daxia to send troops?"

As soon as this remark came out, many unkind stares immediately greeted him.

"Master He, are you joking? Don't you know the fate of the Dajin Dynasty?"

"Big gold..."

The man's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.

Dajin once chose to bow his head and became a vassal state of Daxia.

But the result?

The Dajin Emperor was killed, and Daxia supported a puppet to take the stage.

But not long ago, the Great Jin Dynasty had been completely delisted, and was smoothly incorporated into the territory of Daxia without a single soldier.

With such an example, who would dare to become a vassal of Daxia?

At this point in the debate, the matter seemed to have reached a dead end, neither asking for help nor not asking for help, all the ministers also lowered their heads, and no one said anything.

On the throne, Mu Lianghuai's face became more gloomy, his eyes fluctuated.

Facing the crisis of advancing and retreating, he, the emperor, bears the brunt and is in a dilemma.

At this moment, a servant bowed his head and walked into the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess asks to see you."

Hearing this, all the ministers were stunned for a moment, and then showed strange expressions.

Dajin has stunning twin sisters, David has the Quartet Pearl, and the Yunbo Dynasty naturally has the number one beauty.

And Yunbo's number one beauty is none other than the eldest princess Mu Qingyue.

Unlike Dayue's Tianxiang Princess Li Hanxiang, and David's twin princesses, Mu Qingyue has already become a married woman.

A son-in-law who can be favored by Mu Qingyue and approved by Mu Lianghuai is obviously not an ordinary talent.

He is a peerless arrogance who is rare in the Yunbo Dynasty in a century, and he is proficient in the six arts, familiar with the art of war, and he is also gentle and elegant.

It's a pity, perhaps because heaven was jealous of Yingcai, this son-in-law died in the second year after the wedding, that is, seven years ago.

As for the cause of his death, even all the civil and military officials in Yunbo rarely know.

Leaving aside the deceased son-in-law, it is hard not to let people think too much about the Eldest Princess coming to see her at this time.

On the throne, Mu Lianghuai squinted his eyes, pondered for ten breaths, and then spoke.

"Xuan."

"Yes!"

Not long after, a figure walked in one by one.

Looking carefully, this woman is wearing a moon-white silk dress, holding a transparent round fan with a silver handle, and a light blue tassel ribbon around her waist.

Her graceful and round pretty face was covered with a hollow veil made of more than twenty strands of silver silk, a drop-shaped hair ornament on her forehead, and a cloud pattern necklace on her slender white jade neck.

Her facial features are exquisite and well-proportioned, her jet-black hair is coiled into a bun, and her appearance is elegant.

The princess is graceful, with exquisite nine curves, with lotus growing every step of the way, shining brightly while looking around, attracting all the brilliance of this square hall, making people feel fascinated.

Such a beautiful woman is worthy of the title of "Qingyue" and "the number one beauty in Yunbo".

"Father."

Mu Qingyue stood still in the hall, bowed her head and bowed her knees, and bowed gracefully to Mu Lianghuai.

"Qingyue, why are you here? If there is nothing important, you should wait until the court meeting is over before talking to me."

Mu Lianghuai nodded slightly, and said expressionlessly.

Mu Qingyue glanced at the gloomy ministers in the palace, and after pursing her rosy lips, she spoke surprisingly.

"Father, my son is willing to go to Daxia as an envoy, no matter the cost, please ask Daxia to send troops to help!"

After the sound fell, Mu Lianghuai's pupils shrank, and all the ministers raised their heads in shock, looking directly at Mu Qingyue.

Although Mu Qingyue said it very euphemistically, the meaning in her words was very clear. She wanted to use herself as a stepping stone to knock on the door to meet Emperor Daxia, so as to hope for reinforcements!
In this regard, some people are inexplicable, while others feel unbearable and bitter.

Who would have thought that the majestic Yunbo Dynasty needed a woman to seek survival at the most dangerous moment?

On the throne, Mu Lianghuai, who had regained his senses, showed a glint of anger in his eyes, and waved his hand to veto without hesitation.

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't say if I will send envoys to Daxia, even if I do, I won't let you go alone!"

"Come here, take the eldest princess down to rest."

Mu Qingyue showed a smile, ignored the servants who came, and bowed slightly: "Father, my son is Yunbo's eldest princess. Now, the country is in trouble. If my son does nothing, wouldn't he be ashamed of this eldest princess?" identity of?"

"Besides, if the worst situation really happens, I'm afraid my son's fate will only be worse."

"So, I also hope that the emperor will allow the request of the son. My son, thank you, the father!"

Mu Lianghuai opened his mouth, finally let out a long sigh, and was speechless for a long time.
