The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 434 The last battle, show off our country's prestige (2)
Gao Yuefei's beautiful eyes were full of ridicule, and the corner of her mouth curled into an arc of disdain: "If you weren't worried that you couldn't beat my brother, why did you let your princess do some small tricks behind? Such viciousness spread the war to the whole world. The common people are indeed the most poisonous to women's hearts."

She knew in her heart that this was not the case, but in order to understand the plight in the country, she had to use these words to anger Zhao Shenghao, and asked him to stop Chu Qing's behavior and win a little respite for North Korea.

It has to be said that Gao Yuefei is very smart and knows how to use men's competitive psychology to resolve the crisis.

However, she misjudged the relationship between Zhao Shenghao and Chu Qing, or she underestimated Chu Qing's position in Zhao Shenghao's heart.

Sure enough, after she uttered such harsh words, she was full of joy waiting for Zhao Shenghao's embarrassing words about fair competition, but what the latter said made her stunned on the spot.

"Princess's words are wrong. Our husband and wife are of one heart and one mind. What Qing'er did was only for me, Da Chu Erlang. I can't bear their blood on the battlefield and separate themselves from their families. As for the people of your country, What are we doing? If the emperor of your country really loves the people like his own son, why does he insist on fighting for other countries and ignore the people behind him?"

Between the lines, there are words that support Chu Qing and reprimand Gao Zhiyou, ruthless yet hard to refute.

Gao Yuefei looked at him blankly, her heart was surging with emotion, but she didn't know how to vent it.

Are you envious of Zhao Shenghao's love for Chu Qing?Or recognition of what he said?She couldn't tell the difference.

The war provoked by Korea caused the people of Southern Chu to be displaced, and life and death were unpredictable. Countless sons and daughters of the two countries were buried in the battlefield, so why didn't they ignore the behavior of the people of other countries?
What face does she have now to reprimand Zhao Shenghao, Chu Qing's outrageous means?
In comparison, Chu Qing's method still left a glimmer of hope.

And war consumes not only national power, but also human life.

"If the princess came today because she wanted me to persuade Qing'er to let her stop, then the princess would be disappointed. What Qing'er wants to do, I will only support, and will never stop. See off the guests. As soon as Zhao Shenghao finished speaking, the archers on the left and right loosened their hands, and the arrows shot out through the air, and landed neatly on the ground in front of Gao Yuefei.

The tip of the arrow hit the ground hard, and the arrow feathers were still trembling slightly.

The horses of Gao Yuefei and the others neighed in fright, almost wanting to knock them off their horses.Fortunately, the people in North Korea have excellent equestrian skills, so they didn't fall in embarrassment.

Reining in her horse, Gao Yuefei raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Shenghao, unable to speak for a long time.

The eyes of the two met in the air, Zhao Shenghao was calm, but she was complicated and difficult to understand.

"I lost." After a while, Gao Yuefei suddenly said three words to Zhao Shenghao, then turned around and headed towards the North Korean camp.

The guards behind him followed suit.

After a burst of dust, it disappeared before Tianxia Pass.

"Marshal, what did she mean when she said she lost?" Sang Tiekun stood beside Zhao Shenghao and asked curiously.

Zhao Shenghao smiled slightly, but did not answer him. He just looked at the yellowish sky in the sky that was stained by wasteland dust, and whispered softly: "It seems that the last battle is coming soon."

North Korean camp
"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops and return to the court. There must be no more chaos in the rear." In the golden tent, there were voices of pleading.They were all civil officials who came from Hanze, the country, to persuade Gao Zhiyou to withdraw his troops.

Hundreds of thousands of domestic troops are on the front line, and the civil violence in the rear cannot be controlled at all.

If things go on like this, North Korea will perish on its own before Southern Chu comes to fight.

"Your Majesty! I beg your Majesty to return to court."

"Your Majesty, please return to the court for the well-being of the people."

These civil servants, besieged by travel and dust, knelt on the ground and wept endlessly.

The military generals standing on both sides were also worried, not knowing that in such a chaotic situation, their family members might protect their own safety, and whether there was any accident.

Gao Zhiyou sat on the dragon chair, his lips were tightly pressed, and he remained silent.Gao Yuefei stood beside him, lowering her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Three days ago, he managed to gather a large amount of gold and silver and exchanged for a small amount of rice.

However, these thousands of dollars in exchange for rice grains are just a small amount of salary, and they were sold out less than an hour after they were put on the market.The situation has returned to the way it was before, and because of the emergence of food, the shooting has become more serious.

withdraw troops?He also knew that at this moment, he had to return the court immediately and try his best to turn the tide.

In this way, he can negotiate with Chu Qing, let her release those secretly transported goods, restore market order, and avoid public grievances.

However, he was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this.

He hasn't had a direct confrontation with Zhao Shenghao yet.

At this moment, even he himself couldn't tell whether he wanted to compete with Zhao Shenghao because of the country or because of Chu Qing.

There was only one clear thought in his mind, and that was to fight Zhao Shenghao to determine the outcome.

There was a cold light in the eagle's eyes, and the color of determination came out resolutely: "I have decided to have a showdown with Nanchu tomorrow."

A sudden sentence made the entire Golden Roof Tent fall silent.

After a while, everyone realized what Gao Zhiyou said just now.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not, at this moment, we North Korea can no longer withstand the damage."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Conservative civil servants tried hard to persuade Gao Zhiyou to withdraw this decision.After this decisive battle, no one can say for sure how many people will die, how many soldiers will be wounded, and how many families will need pensions.

The main thing is, the current situation, the value is not worth it.

Compared with the dissuasion by the civil officials, those military generals who have been following Gao Zhiyou's side to fight are much easier to accept.

In fact, they were also very aggrieved when this war hit such a situation.

This decisive battle can let them release the hostility in their hearts.

The two sides were constantly arguing, Gao Yuefei stood quietly beside Gao Zhiyou, looked at him with a puzzled expression, but there seemed to be something on her mind deep in her eyes.

"Shut up." A cold shout came from Gao Zhiyou's mouth, stopping the meaningless debate.

All civil servants and generals turned their attention to the aloof king, waiting for his next words.

After everything quieted down, Gao Zhiyou said slowly: "I will arrange the decisive battle tomorrow at my own discretion, so you don't need to say much."

Tomorrow...?

Gao Zhiyou ended the argument with one sentence.Gao Yuefei suddenly felt a sense of suffocation wrapped around her neck, which made her walk out of the golden-roofed tent to breathe.

Standing on the rammed steps, she raised her head slightly. In the sky, the cold moonlight fell on her thin armor, casting a long shadow on the ground.
