A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 988 Where to Fight Her
When Yuwen Huaibi found that the girl in his arms, who had finally woken up, had clearly opened her big bloody eyes but said blankly that she could not see, and the military doctor said that she might be blind... Yuwen Huaibi felt like the sky had fallen.

At this time, the armor on the girl's body was scraped to pieces, and her thighs were cut due to falling from a high place, with the skin and flesh torn so deep that the bones were visible.

Upon seeing Yuan Wuyou's miserable appearance, Wan Yuwu felt his heart broken. His hands holding the knife were shaking. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost couldn't hold the knife. He just hoped that he was dreaming.

How could the queen who had only been missing for a short while suddenly be seriously injured and unconscious by the dog emperor of Northern Zhou? The military doctor also said that she might be blind?

Thinking of this, Wan Yuwuyu could no longer bear it! The Xiangyang governor who had blocked his way in front of him was so angry that he no longer blocked Dangxiang Wang's anger. He decisively let him go, letting Dangxiang Wang, who was covered in rhinoceros skin and silver armor, rush over with a knife to chop the Xianbei emperor!

At this time, the young Dang Xiang Wang's pupils were filled with blood, and he shouted angrily:

"How come you can still stand up after falling off the cliff, but our young master is half dead?"

Others rushed to stop the Xiangyang governor, but Jialuo was so angry that she also raised her weapon, but was stopped by Yuan Zizhu who was next to her.

The Xiangyang prefect and King Dangxiang immediately formed a team and worked together as one, because they came together and wanted to bring the queen back to Xiangyang.

As a result, before Yu Taishou finished speaking, King Dangxiang expressed his different opinion and said he wanted to take her back to Huaxu.

The Xiangyang prefect was displeased when he heard this, and turned against the Dangxiang King on the spot, accusing them of having occupied most of Huaxu's territory, and now holding the seriously ill ruler of Huaxu in their hands. Who can guarantee that you are not taking her hostage?
Holding the emperor hostage to control the princes is not a small matter, but I am afraid that the long journey will cause the queen to be tortured to death. Even if I return to Huaxu, what if you usurp the throne and imprison the queen as your concubine?
Yu Taishou's words hit the nail on the head. Even Yuwen Huaibi, who was the target of public criticism, nodded in agreement. Yuan Zizhu and others also disagreed with King Dangxiang taking the queen away.

But the Xiangyang prefect immediately directed his criticism at the Zhou emperor.

Yuwen Huaibi didn't expect things to turn out like this. The situation was no longer out of control, it was completely messed up.

So the Emperor of the Great Zhou, who had always been gentle and indifferent to others, suddenly went crazy and showed his majesty. He drew out his whip in anger, turned around to catch the instigator, and pretended to whip the general who led the hunt for King Fengling with his own hands!

After being stopped by everyone, he verbally berated all the generals and demoted all the generals who participated in the battle by one level.

Only when they came to question Concubine She, who had given the advice, did they discover that this military strategist was missing.

Looking at his King Fengling lying in front of him, seriously injured and dying, Yuwen Huaibi felt quite guilty.

Yuwen Huaibi had always only wanted to bring her back to his hometown to share Chang'an in an open and aboveboard manner, rather than using despicable means to clip her wings, cripple her legs and blind her eyes as he did now.

But given the current situation, the Xiangyang governor and King Dangxiang would not allow Yuwen Huaibi to take her back to Chang'an.

Afterwards, this group of people got into a stalemate at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, outside Shennongjia, over how to accommodate the seriously injured female ruler.

At noon, a few messengers suddenly arrived, saying that Lanling Wang had led his troops to the foot of Wancheng, Nanyang, and had kidnapped Concubine She! He shouted that he wanted to see the "Northern Qi Ru'nan Queen" who was being held hostage by the Zhou State and whose life and death were uncertain.

At this moment, the Dangxiang soldiers also arrived. The Dangxiang King instantly got support and was confident enough to take the opportunity to snatch the Lord of Huaxu!
The governor of Xiangyang decisively stopped the Dangxiang King, and Yuan Zizhu's elite soldiers from the Yuan family also arrived late. The various forces insisted on their own opinions and the situation was deadlocked. In the end, Yuan Zizhu came forward to help the King of Zhou and forcibly took his niece to Nanyang City to treat her injuries.

The afternoon sun was still hot and humid.

After the queen was brought to Nanyang by her uncle, not only did Emperor Yuwen drag his seriously injured body and follow her closely, but the governor of Xiangyang and King Dangxiang also followed behind them.

So, the queen was nominally taken to the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, but she was always protected by her uncle's Yuan family soldiers. The prefect of Xiangyang and King Dangxiang would not let her stay in the inn, and insisted on sending her to the anti-epidemic palace. Even her guards were only allowed to be provided by the Yuan family soldiers.

As a result, the Zhou forces in Nanyang City were divided into two factions, and Emperor Yuwen was naturally the isolated one. And underneath the apparent harmony of the three people, there were also three directions.

Just as they placed the queen in the anti-epidemic palace and convened military doctors and local physicians for a joint consultation, news came from outside that King Lanling had led his troops to capture Wancheng and was asking for a meeting at the foot of the city.

The Great Zhou Emperor Yuwen Huaibi then sat in a two-wheeled cart and was pushed out to the top of the city gate by Yi Fuya and others to meet the enemy.

Looking down from the city gate tower, I saw that the person coming down from the city was indeed Lanling King. He was wearing a red robe, golden armor, and a ghost mask.

Lanling Wang, the powerful general of Qi, came straight to the point when he met Yuwen Huaibi: "Let her go, your Concubine She is in my hands!"

Yuwen Huaibi said: "Then you can tear up the ticket, I will never change it!"

Hearing this, even Yi Fuya, who was standing next to him, turned his head and looked at his own emperor with shock in his eyes.

He didn't know what to say about his own emperor. He could only say that Concubine She was also profligate and it was a waste of effort.

Throughout history, the most convincing and ridiculous excuse for war is universally recognized to be for a woman.

Just like the beacon fire tricks on the princes, King Zhou and Daji.

Prosperous times need beauties to embellish them, and troubled times need beauties to take the blame.

Before this, Yuwen Huaibi had never thought that one day he would have to use force to seize Yuan Wuyou. But when the time came, he found that fists were better than any eloquence. It was also quite pleasant to be a barbarian who had no martial ethics or even no morals.

If Yuwen Huaibi had been a little more shameless, he would have dared to withstand the pressure from all sides and forcibly brought his beloved back to Chang'an. As for the land of Jingxiang, the eight tribes of Dangxiang, and the State of Qi?
He would not lead troops to fight, but the Great Zhou had never been afraid of these families before. Now with Yuan Wuyou's uncle, the King of Heyin, and the Yuan family's soldiers present, he would probably not be afraid of fighting.

But King Lanling on the opposite side also went crazy. When he heard that Zhou State was unwilling to release his troops, he turned around and closed the city gate. Even though King Lanling led the army in person, the King of Qi who was supervising the battle kept shouting at him not to be impulsive and to win by wits!
Lanling Wang couldn't listen any more. Not only did he disobey orders in front of the battlefield, he also refused the emperor's order to retreat and insisted on fighting him. He even personally led the vanguard and swung his flying claws to attack the main city of Nanyang!
Because they had to treat King Fengling and could not move, the Zhou government soldiers hid King Fengling in the anti-epidemic palace, and his life or death is still unknown.

Lanling Wang was also anxious to see his beloved wife who was separated from him by a wall, so he led his troops to attack fiercely, determined to break into Nanyang City and snatch away his beloved girl.
