Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 286
Shen Xi's letter back to Xiao Che was relatively blatant. In the letter, she bluntly stated how much she missed him, and hoped that he would come back from the war to accompany her soon.

However, she did not tell him about the child, because she has not passed the dangerous period so far, whether the child can be kept depends on the follow-up treatment, and Liuli also reminded her that if she treats according to her current physical condition See, having a baby can be dangerous too.

In fact, giving birth to a child is a hell of a journey. Throughout the ages, too many women have died of dystocia.

After writing the letter to Xiao Che, Shen Xi couldn't help but think to herself, before, she didn't understand the emotion of "repenting to teach her husband to seek a title", but now she understands it.

Who doesn't want her husband to be with her all the time?
What a pitiful boudoir night heart.

In fact, the outside situation is already very clear now, Emperor Wenhui is gone, Xiao Che has already occupied half of the country, and even many surrounding countries have come forward to support Xiao Che's power.

To be honest, Zhu Guo actually hoped that Xiao Che and Emperor Wen Hui would lose both sides if they quarreled, so that they could take advantage of the situation.

Such countries that are even willing to send troops to help Xiao Che regain the territory are basically small countries. Their emperors are more open-minded, knowing that they are not strong, and they are attached to the Celestial Dynasty. to what benefit.

So it's better to support Xiao Che who has the greatest chance of winning. If Xiao Che really succeeds in ascending to the position, then they will become great heroes, and they will be able to speak with more confidence in the future.

To be honest, they do have gambling elements in it.

Because if Xiao Che is the one who loses in the end, then they won't be able to please them.

How could the stingy Emperor Wen Hui let them go?

The capital city is also in the treacherous situation.

Emperor Wen Hui always thought that Xiao Che was under his surveillance. It wasn't until the real Xiao Che started an uprising outside that he realized that there was a little eunuch lying inside, or an impure little eunuch!
Xiao Che got a human skin mask from nowhere and carried it with him, but they never noticed it! !

Emperor Wen Hui was so angry that he smashed everything that could be smashed in the imperial study, but it was already too late.

There were frequent reports of defeat in the court, and Emperor Wen Hui's mood couldn't have been worse.

Now Xiao Che is attacking Chengyang, but the prefect of Chengyang has received the favor of the late emperor, so even if he knows that the late emperor is a thief who seeks to usurp the throne, he will stick to Chengyang until the last moment.

Xiao Che admired his loyalty, but he also regretted that he was stupid and loyal. After the negotiation failed, he launched a fierce offensive against Chengyang.

Chengyang is an important route for military strategists, connecting Qiguo in the east to Qiguo in the west, Wuxuanguo in the south, and the natural barrier Quenshi Mountain as a defensive shield. It is more difficult to take down Chengyang than to attack the capital.

Moreover, Gao Yunlong, the prefect of Chengyang, is also a man who uses soldiers like a god. The first emperor put him in this position because of his talent.

Xiao Che's first attack on Chengyang ended in failure, and this was also his first defeat.

He is very clear about the principle of going all out, declining again, and exhausting three times, so he is not going to attack violently, but unites the surrounding two countries to surround Chengyang, camps in the nearby city, and starts a tug-of-war with them.

Fortunately, Chengyang already has enough food, even if they don't go out, they can be self-sufficient, but how could Xiao Che let them go so easily?

He found a few dark guards with good lightness skills, divided them into groups of three or five, sneaked into the city from the mountain path under the cover of night, and after figuring out where they stored food, he set fire to them Burned.

In just a few days, Chengyang had already lost three granaries.

But Xiao Che didn't press too hard, because now their soldiers are still full of food and have the strength to fight. In addition, Chengyang's superior terrain makes it difficult for them to attack. When you're exhausted, fight them again.

Poor Gao Yunlong always thought that Emperor Wen Hui would send troops to support him. Every time there was a change in Chengyang, he poured a pile of chicken soup on the people, so that they couldn't tell.

After Xiao Che knew about it, he sent a letter to the secret guards who stayed in Chengyang and asked them to spread rumors everywhere in Chengyang, saying that Emperor Wen Hui was in danger now, how could he care about them?
This made Chengyang's already slack people's hearts boil all of a sudden, after all, everyone wants to survive, doesn't they?

If they had surrendered, Xiao Che would not kill them, they would still be able to eat and drink enough, and they would not have to live in fear every day.

The common people don't have as many ideas as Gao Yunlong, they just want to live a good life.

When the matter reached its peak, Xiao Che sent someone to beat drums loudly outside Chengyang, while he himself was riding a tall horse, with countless cavalry troops behind him, the yellow sand was flying, and the army was pressing down on the situation. The tight and boiling drums finally defeated Cheng The last line of defense for the people of Yangyang.

Gao Yunlong knew that Chengyang couldn't hold it anymore, so he didn't choose to let the soldiers die, but jumped down from the city wall and died in the city.

In this way, Xiao Che took down Chengyang almost without a single soldier.

After taking over the affairs of Chengyang, Xiao Che sent someone to burial Gao Yunlong, calling him "a man of loyalty". At first, the people were a little trembling. It can be seen that Xiao Che really had no intention of killing, so he let go of his worry.

When Emperor Wen Hui knew that Chengyang had fallen, his face turned pale instantly.

The troops of Dongqi State and Wu Xuan State are considered powerful among the small countries. Now that Chengyang is lost, the soldiers and horses of Dong Qi State and Wu Xuan State can directly borrow from Chengyang and drive straight to the Celestial Dynasty.

Xiao Che originally had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now he has the support of six or seven small countries. His strength...is unimaginable.

The emperors of Dongqi State and Wu Xuan State were quite bold, and each allocated 80 soldiers and horses to Xiao Che. You must know that the total population of their own country is only [-] million people, and [-] soldiers and horses are already a lot.

With their help, Xiao Che became even more powerful. In less than fifteen days, he took down three more cities.

Fifteen days, three cities, it will take six or seven days just to travel, and there are various handover procedures during the period, this speed is absolutely terrifying.

More than two months, less than three months, Xiao Che has won three quarters of the country.

He handed over the remaining quarter to others, and he led the army to the capital. The time was almost up.

Emperor Wen Hui now has only one thought, that is, he will drag Xiao Che to be buried with him when he dies.

Before his father passed away, he told him about a secret passage leading to the underground of the palace, which contained countless gold, silver, jewels and food. It was built when he was in power, and the purpose was to keep way back.

But these things are useless now, the only thing that can be done is to exchange them for Xiao Che's life!
