Chapter 1417 Withdrawing the Army for a Hundred Miles (1)
Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua had a good discussion and decided to go to Syracuse.

Chen Lao and the others naturally had no objection, and followed them to Snow City.

Turning back the same way, it took five days to return to the Valley of Love Flowers.Love Flower Valley was just like when the group came ten days ago. Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua left the Love Flower Valley and headed for Snow City without stopping.

Love Flower Valley is seven days away from Syracuse at the fastest time.

Since Wang Yi'an released Xie Fanghua's confinement technique, Xie Fanghua's pregnancy symptoms have become more obvious. When she encounters something she doesn't like, she will vomit until her face turns pale. When she encounters something she likes, she will have a big appetite. She can eat it by herself Half of the dishes on the table made Qin Zheng dumbfounded, and was really worried that her belly was not a child but a monster.

On the way to Xuecheng, the situation and news about the world also came one after another.

First, there was news from Northern Qi that Yu Yanchen had taken over the Northern Qi army and assumed military power on behalf of the crown prince.After a major defeat, the Northern Qi Army's morale quickly recovered after his appeasement and rectification.

Prince Qi Yanqing's injury is getting better day by day.

News came from Yu's family in the Northern Qi Dynasty that Yu Zhaotian was Yu Zhaoyan, the uncle of the country had lost all his martial arts, and from now on, he could no longer hold a sword.In addition, the Yu family disbanded and canceled the presbytery that had been established for several generations. For a while, these two things were very sensational.

Before the sensational heat of these two incidents subsided, news spread from the Northern Qi Palace that Concubine Yu Gui was pregnant for one month.The king of Northern Qi was overjoyed and generously rewarded Concubine Yugui and the Yu family.

Xie Fanghua was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and asked Qin Zheng suspiciously, "Concubine Yugui is pregnant? Is it true?"

Qin Zheng frowned, "It's hard to say."

Xie Fanghua said, "Is Concubine Yugui as old as Mrs. Yongkanghou?"

"Almost." Qin Zheng said.

Xie Fanghua also frowned, "I remembered what my aunt said, the Northern Qi and Southern Qin fought, how far this battle will go, and what the outcome will be like. No one knows. She is from Southern Qin, grandpa's daughter , So, I came back. But for the King of Northern Qi, after so many years, it is not a stone, even a stone, has been warmed up. She said that she has to wait, the King of Northern Qi is her husband after all. But now, if Auntie hears I don’t know how to feel about this news.”

"You and I are not aunts, let alone know." Qin Zheng said.

Xie Fanghua sighed.

"However, Concubine Yugui has not been pregnant for so many years. Now it is rumored that she is pregnant for a month, and it happens to be the month when my aunt left the Northern Qi Dynasty and returned to Southern Qin Dynasty. It is too coincidental." Qin Zheng said.

"Could it be fake news?" Xie Fanghua asked.

Qin Zheng sneered, "If it's fake, the King of Northern Qi would be too childish."

Xie Fanghua looked at him.

Qin Zheng said, "My aunt has been in Northern Qi for nearly 20 years, so she should know very well about the pregnancy of the King of Northern Qi and Concubine Yugui. If the King of Northern Qi came for Auntie, Auntie should know in her heart whether Concubine Yugui is really pregnant or not."

Xie Fanghua rubbed her eyebrows, "My aunt has worked so hard all her life. For so many years, for Nanqin, although she has two children, neither Qingge nor Brother Yunji grew up by her side. Now she leaves Beiqi and returns to Nanqin. It should be impossible for Qin, Prime Minister Zuo and her to continue their relationship, but the King of Northern Qi is at war with the two countries, and the hostility has reached this point."

Qin Zheng touched Xie Fanghua's head, "Everyone's path is chosen voluntarily. Back then, my aunt abandoned the left prime minister and married into the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was her own choice. Now returning to Southern Qin from Northern Qi Dynasty is also her own choice. Don't worry, my aunt is not an ordinary woman, since she has a choice, she won't be too hard-pressed."

Xie Fanghua nodded, "With Grandpa by my side, we are beyond our reach, and it's useless to worry."

"Good." Qin Zheng patted her head again.

Xie Fanghua pushed his hand away dissatisfied, and said angrily, "You're coaxing a puppy."

Qin Zheng smiled lightly.

Three days later, news spread that the Northern Qi army had come out in full force on the border of Mobei to attack the Mobei barracks.

This battle was dispatched by Yu Yanchen, and Qi Yanqing was still recovering from his injuries.

When he got the news, Xie Fanghua was stunned, "It's only been [-] days since you seriously injured Qi Yanqing and defeated the Northern Qi Army last time. Did the Northern Qi Army recover their morale so quickly and fight again?"

"Northern Qi Army has Yu Yanchen, so it's not surprising that he recovered early," Qin Zheng said.

Xie Fanghua was silent for a while, yes, You Yanchen was in the Northern Qi army, and with his skill, talent and strategy, it was not surprising that Northern Qi would launch another large-scale battle ten days in advance.

She bit her lip, "The reinforcements led by Yan Ting should not have arrived in Mobei, right? I don't know if my brother can hold on."

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, glanced at the sky, and called, "Qingyan."

"Young Master." Qing Yan responded.

"Send a message to Brother Zigui that the Mobei Army will abandon the city and retreat," Qin Zheng ordered.

Qing Yan was taken aback.

Xie Fanghua immediately said, "Retreat? How can I do it? Mobei is our first natural defense line in Southern Qin. If we retreat like this, it will not be easy to take it back."

"As long as there are people and strength, we can take it back." Qin Zheng said, "Yu Yanchen took advantage of the fact that the reinforcements had not arrived, and the strength of the troops was very different, so he deployed for [-] days, and the Mobei Army Camp naturally couldn't resist the attack. Stay. Even if the South Qin reinforcements arrive in Mobei, the troops led by Yan Ting will definitely be defeated after a long journey. It is better to reorganize and reorganize, retain strength, and fight again."

Xie Fanghua nodded, "It also makes sense."

"Go!" Qin Zheng ordered.

Qingyan went immediately.

Xie Fanghua looked in the direction of the Mobei military camp, and said to Qin Zheng, "If not, we won't go to Xuecheng yet, let's go and join my brother."

Qin Zheng shook his head, "No need."

Xie Fanghua looked away and looked at her, "I'm a little worried."

Qin Zheng smiled, "The two countries are at war, and the battlefield is like gambling. There are winners and losers. Blindly defending, it is better to exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, and find another way."

"What kind of alternative path?" Xie Fanghua asked.

Qin Zheng squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Xuecheng, "How many generations, how many years, even the Southern Qin, Northern Qi, and even earlier dynasties did not dare to let war easily disturb the boundaries of Xuecheng. But this generation, Xuecheng The city earlier lent me [-] soldiers and horses, as well as our deduced connection with the Meizu. Perhaps, there is a breakthrough."

Xie Fanghua nodded.

On the same day, Qingyan released the eagle bird to the Mobei military camp according to Qin Zheng's instructions.

Since the two of them were only three or four days away from the Mobei military camp, it was naturally not too far for Yingniao. Xie Mohan received the letter late at night that day.

Xie Mohan looked at it, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, still followed Qin Zheng's decision, and ordered, "Send the order, the whole army will withdraw from the Mobei camp and retreat a hundred miles."

As soon as he issued this order, Wang Gui, Qin Yi and the generals all looked at him in shock.
