Return to Yan Palace and Qingliang Palace.
Queen Xiao returned to the palace, lay down on the couch, and looked out of the hall in a daze.
Every move she makes carries an intoxicating aura. Her skin is like jade and her lips are soft. She has the charm of a peerless beauty and the grace of a high-ranking queen.
The two temperaments merged in her body, making her figure even more attractive.
only.
Empress Xiao was not happy but worried at this time. She only felt that her appearance and temperament caused great pressure and worry to her.
As the saying goes, beauties bring disaster. In the past, Empress Xiao was criticized by Taoists, saying that she was destined to have peach blossoms, and that her mother would be the best in the world. In the past, both Empress Xiao and Yang Guang thought that this evaluation only meant that she was destined to be a queen.
Didn't realize the first half of the command.
After the arrival of Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, they naturally read the history books rewritten by those scholars. Among them, Empress Xiao wandered around after Yang Guang's death and fell into the hands of Yu Wenhuaji, Dou Jiande and Grassland Khan.
It was indeed in compliance with her instructions to bring about peach blossoms.
After knowing the original fate in the history books.
Although Empress Xiao is still the empress, Yang Guang already has a grudge in his heart.
Yang Guang was arrogant by nature. Every time he saw Empress Xiao, he would think of the misery of his own family and his wife and daughter falling into the hands of others in the original historical China.
So Yang Guang doesn't really want to see Empress Xiao...
The relationship between the two was okay at first, but after they had a knot in their hearts, their relationship gradually faded away.
Empress Xiao wanted to save her, but didn't know what to do.
"Queen!"
At this time, a female official in her twenties or thirties quietly walked in, bowed and reported: "My servant has found out clearly that your Majesty summoned Duan Shangshu and Pei Shilang because Baoying City in the north was attacked by the Huai army, and the Gaoyou Lake Water Village was in danger... Your Majesty and the ministers are discussing the matter of sending troops..."
When Queen Xiao heard this, she couldn't help but straighten her body and frown slightly.
She is not a brainless woman who only knows how to compete for favor in the palace.
As the empress of the world, although she was not good at political affairs or military strategy, she often watched Yang Guang handle government affairs, and she still had a good eye for it under the influence of her ears.
"Baoying City has been captured...Then the Huai Army's next step should be to attack Gaoyou City!"
Queen Xiao murmured.
A trace of worry appeared on her beautiful cheeks.
Gaoyou is the barrier to the north of Yangzhou. If Gaoyou is not protected, it will be difficult for Yangzhou to survive alone.
Except for the Huai army in the north.
Chen Baxian's army to the west of Yangzhou also approached Tongshan and stared covetously at Yangzhou.
"Could it be that even if Your Majesty and I come to this world, we can't escape the fate of ruining our country and our family?"
Queen Xiao lamented in her heart.
Sometimes, she really wondered if it was her own fault that affected His Majesty's spirit. It's like what others call beauty a curse...
In fact, the fate of Yang Guang and Sui Jun has a lot to do with Yang Guang's character.
Empress Xiao was simply shaken by other people's comments, and subconsciously believed that it was the negative impact of her fate on Yang Guang.
The female officer saw that the queen looked a little sad, so she couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty?"
Empress Xiao glanced at her. Although the other party was her confidant, there were some things she couldn't say to her.
She took a deep breath, and the clothes on her chest trembled slightly, revealing a hint of whiteness. She forced herself to cheer up and regained her straight-backed posture. Gu'er
"It's okay, just step back first!"
Seeing this, the female officer stepped back gently.
Empress Xiao suppressed those chaotic thoughts for the time being and began to think about how to deal with the next situation. If the Sui army was really doomed, where would she and His Majesty go?
Inside Longhua Palace.
Yang Guang is still discussing the current situation with several important ministers.
Duan Wenzhen scratched his beard, frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "Baoying City has just been built not long ago. Its role is to slow down the Huai army's southward movement. Most of the 100,000 defenders in the city are soldiers who have recently been recruited... …The people haven’t had time to settle here yet.”
"So Baoying's defeat will have an impact on our army, but the impact is not that big!"
"Now that the defense lines at Jieshou and Ziyinggou have been completed, our army's troops and horses left behind in Gaoyou are all elite. The Huai army will definitely not be able to break through in a short period of time!"
"There are only two issues our army has to consider right now!"
When Duan Wenzhen spoke.
Pei Ju, Yu Shiji, and Yang Guang all listened carefully.
They have great trust in Duan Wenzhen's strategy and vision.
"What two questions?"
Yang Guang asked.
"The first problem is the water fortress at Gaoyou Lake. The water fortress is related to the defense of our army on the west. If the water fortress is lost, it will put great pressure and threat on Gaoyou and Jieshou!"
"The second question is Chen Baxian near Tongshan!"
Duan Wenzhen said in a deep voice.
"In the opinion of the veteran, Your Majesty might as well divide 200,000 of the 300,000 newly recruited soldiers to go north to Gaoyou to support King Wei, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses will join Yang Yichen and Lai Hu'er."
"Your Majesty will enter the army with us, and the emperor will march in person. First, he will fight to the death with Chen Baxian!"
As soon as he said this.
Yang Guang, Pei Ju and Yu Shiji suddenly changed their expressions.
Will Yujia personally fight against Chen Baxian to the death?
Pei Ju immediately said: "Duan Shangshu, your majesty has a body of thousands of gold. If anything happens to the imperial commander personally on the expedition, the consequences will be disastrous."
Yu Shiji also said: "Yes, the military battle is dangerous. Chen Baxian, Xiao Moke and Wu Mingche are not trivial. The matter of leading the army to fight can be left to the two generals Yang Yichen and Lai Hu'er! Why do you have to send your majesty and I all out? Woolen cloth?"
Yang Guang looked thoughtful, but did not directly deny it.
He is no stranger to personal conquests.
When he was young, he led an army to attack Nanchen, overthrowing the Southern Dynasty established by Chen Baxian in one fell swoop. Later, he also led an army to attack Liaodong twice... Although the results were not good, the experience and courage of personal expeditions were by no means lacking.
Duan Wenzhen shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I know everything you said. Under normal circumstances, I would never make such a suggestion!"
"But now our army's life and death are at stake!"
"To the north, there is a threat of hundreds of thousands of troops from Wang Jing of the Huai Army. To the east, there are three major princes watching the fire from across the bank. To the west, there is a Chen Baxian looking at him with eagerness... It can be said that we are surrounded by enemies on all sides!"
"Especially the Huai Army and the Chen Army. These two enemies will soon threaten the hinterland of our army. Chen Baxian is only a few hundred miles away from Yangzhou! If our army wants to break the situation, we must use all our strength to defeat one enemy first. defeat!"
"Only in this way can we deter other princes and use all our energy to deal with the threat of the Huai army after a great victory!"
"Your Majesty will go on a personal expedition. Your Majesty will enter the army in person, so that the two generals Lai Hu'er and Yang Yichen can use their military power and national fortune to bless themselves... If Your Majesty does not move, with the strength of these two generals, I am afraid that the chances of winning against Chen Baxian are not high!"
