The capital of Dayue Kingdom, Zhaowu City.
Because of the fighting on the front line, Yue Zhongtian and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely nervous in the past few days.
Because as the army moves forward, the war has reached its most critical moment. Whether the lost ground can be completely recovered depends on the next day or two.
As long as they can regain the lost ground and defend Rouge Mountain, it will be a complete victory for Dayue.
All civil and military officials in the court seemed very anxious.
"Report!"
At this time, a soldier came quickly, "Good news from the front line! Good news from the front line..."
When Yue Zhongtian heard the good news, he rushed down from the throne and said urgently: "How?"
The soldiers quickly replied: "To inform the lord of the country, the princess and the consort have captured Rouge Mountain and wiped out more than 30,000 enemies..."
What?
Rouge Mountain was recaptured? And annihilated the 30,000 Loulan army?
Yue Zhongtian was startled for a moment, with disbelief in his eyes, and then laughed loudly, "Okay! Okay! Okay! My princess and consort are indeed the pride of Dayue, hahaha!!!"
Wild laughter echoed.
All the Oyue officials were also very excited. They were joking. Not only did they recapture Rouge Mountain, they also annihilated so many enemy troops. The total number of them was already unknown.
This undoubtedly greatly weakened Loulan's strength, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time. This was undoubtedly great news for Dayue, how could everyone not be excited.
"Congratulations to the king, God bless me with the moon, the princess is brave and good at fighting, and the prince-in-law is a strategist. It is a match made in heaven."
"Yes! The king is wise."
All the ministers made rainbow farts, and the sky was floating in the middle of the moon.
He realized that he had made the most correct decision in history. With such a consort, Da Yue had nothing to worry about, and he smiled crookedly.
At this time, a minister said: "Your Majesty, Rouge Mountain has been captured. The next step is to stabilize the pass. Loulan suffered heavy losses this time. Within a few years, we will definitely not be able to conquer the east. I, Dayue, can also use this opportunity." Recuperate.”
"good!"
Dayue has always been weak, and even though she was victorious at this moment, these courtiers never thought of a large-scale invasion of Loulan.
There is no way, people who have always been afraid of poverty suddenly have money and don’t know how to spend it.
Yue Zhongtian nodded subconsciously, "Yes! Let the princess and the consort..."
Before he could finish his words, the soldiers rushed over and said, "This is to inform the lord of the country that after the princess and the consort captured Rouge Mountain, they marched directly to the west."
Yue Zhongtian's face turned slightly blue, and she was so anxious that this girl forgot to remind her.
In fact, it was not Yue Zhongtian's fault, the main reason was that he did not expect that this Western Expedition would go so smoothly. It was almost a disaster all the way, and he didn't even have time to remind him.
As for what the great talent said before the army set off, Loulan would never be returned until it was destroyed. Naturally, he regarded it as a slogan, a slogan to boost morale. How could he take it seriously?
But now it seems that the army is serious, why is Yue Zhongtian not in a hurry.
The same was true for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Fortunately, they didn't worry for long.
Only a few hours later, a fast horse galloped over again, "Good news from the front..."
All the civil and military officials in the court were confused. What good news could there be from this?
The soldiers quickly said: "Let me inform the lord of the country that the princess and the consort have captured Zhangzhou."
"What did you say?"
Yue Zhongtian's pupils were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost, and he looked at the soldiers below in disbelief.
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty were no better than this.
The soldiers had no choice but to reiterate: "To inform the lord of the country, the princess and the consort have captured Zhangzhou. Not only that, they have also annihilated the Loulan cavalry battalion, including the leader of the cavalry battalion, Lan Xingjun, who was also beheaded under his horse."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent, because everyone was shocked beyond measure.
Yue Zhongtian also opened his mouth, as if he had seen a ghost.
too fast!
The victory news from Rouge Mountain just came, but Zhangzhou was captured immediately, and the cavalry battalion was completely wiped out, and even the commander of the cavalry battalion was beheaded. This is incredible!
He even had some doubts about whether the spy was fake, but after repeated confirmation, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Unparalleled cheers erupted throughout the entire hall.
For them, all this is undoubtedly a dream, an unattainable dream, but today, this dream has become a reality.
"Okay! Okay! Huangsha wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken. I, General Dayue, have really done it."
The whole Zhaowu was in a state of joy.
To be exact, Zhaowu has always been so jubilant during this period, but today it was even more exaggerated, with countless people pouring into the streets to celebrate.
Yue Zhongtian was also drunk all day long. He was still holding a statue of a woman in his hand and chanting: "Qing'e, did you see it! Our daughter and son-in-law conquered Zhangzhou..."
The old eunuch was waiting on the side, serving soup to sober up the wine.
At this time, a young eunuch suddenly came to report: "To the lord of the country, Master Xing is asking for an audience."
Yue Zhongtian was confused, "Xingfeng? It's already midnight, right? What's he doing here? Invite him in."
"yes!"
The little eunuch retreated.
Soon, Xing Feng arrived, and in addition, Zhang Gaoyuan was also there.
Yue Zhongtian chuckled and said: "Xing Aiqing, is there something urgent at this late hour? Who is this?"
Zhang Gaoyuan smiled and said: "I have met the Lord of the Dayue Kingdom. Zhang comes from the Zhang family in Hexi. However, this time, Zhang does not come on behalf of the Zhang family, but on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Dali."
Hearing this, Yue Zhongtian suddenly woke up and looked at Zhang Gaoyuan: "I wonder what is going on with His Majesty Li Chao?"
"..."
Zhang Gaoyuan and Xing Feng had already left. In the main hall, Yue Zhongtian's face turned livid, and he murmured: "How could this happen? Is the scene that happened twenty years ago going to happen again?"
"That's right! I should have thought long ago that this is not a fight for the crown prince at all. That boy is so good, who else can compete with him for the crown prince."
The old eunuch also had a look of regret at this moment.
Yue Zhongtian glanced at him and asked, "Old guy, what should I choose?"
The old eunuch replied: "I don't know, but since the Prince Consort came, Dayue's soldiers and people all have hope. If..."
He didn't continue talking.
Yue Zhongtian naturally understood that he wanted to kill this hope? Can Dayue's soldiers and people agree? But if it is not wiped out, Dayue will be beyond redemption.
At this moment, even the smoothest Yue Zhongtian was a little confused.
After being silent for a long time, he finally looked at the statue in his hand, sighed and said: "That's it! I am already old, and none of the princes below are mature. How long Da Yue can hold on can only depend on Qing Chen. Let Qingchen decide!"
"I helped her decide on the consort. I can't turn around and ruin it again. Let Qing Chen decide whether she wants this consort or not."
"Qing'e, your spirit in heaven must protect our daughter."
