My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 917:-Movement

The rations were already in place, and the various prefectures did not have much in stock.

If they continued to drag out the battle line, even if the Northern Wu army did not attack, the various prefectures would continue to run out of food and there would be a civil revolt. Even if the Imperial Court wanted to gather more provisions, they couldn’t.

Xie Xian didn’t say false words. He had always been one for one, especially at such a critical moment.

Sikong Xiao was confident.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the grain and silver were in place and the morale was high, Xue Jing ‘er led 20,000 horses and set fire to the North Wu army in the middle of the night. They chased them for 30 miles that night.

After winning a battle, the morale of the army was boosted. After that, they won a few small-scale battles in succession.

The morale of the entire Daliang Empire had been completely restored.

Those who didn’t know better would think that it was Northern Wu who had lost more than ten cities, not Daliang.

The Northern Wu side was naturally calm and had a thorough understanding of the situation. However, the morale of the army could not be reversed. Although the overall situation had not changed, losing several battles in a row was not good for the morale of the army and the people were impetuous.

With the situation below unstable, the higher-ups were inevitably eager to get closer and also wanted to win a few battles. The war on both sides became intense again.

This went on for nearly a month, with both sides evenly matched.

It was not until the news came from the rear of Northern Wu that Rouran suddenly marched into Northern Wu on a large scale and had already captured five or six cities that the King of Wu was completely furious. He immediately drew his saber and cut down the table.

“The Rouran people went back on their words. They clearly gave them enough benefits before the army set off!”

“The two clans are still married, yet you’re actually pulling Great Wu’s leg like this!”

However, it was not realistic to retreat. The King of Wu was sure that the moment he retreated, Nan Liang would follow suit.

After waiting for another two days, Rouran took down another city.

The King of Wu could no longer hold his breath.

He was afraid that before Nanliang was conquered, his cities would be swept away by Rouran.

She was so angry that her teeth were swollen from his biting, and her cheeks were swollen to the height of a small fist.

They had to retreat.

“Why don’t we split up and retreat? We’ll hold fast and not go out. We’ll retreat one-third of the troops first, return to defend, and attack Rouran. As for the remaining two-thirds, they would first observe their movements and then decide whether to defend or defend.”

The person who spoke was in his thirties. He had a blade-like face, thin eyebrows, long eyes, and a goatee. He was Yin Qing from Liang.

The case of deposing the Crown Prince was banished to Guangzhou by Emperor Yuheng. After that, he encouraged the governor of Guangzhou to rebel in response to the governor of Jiangzhou. In the end, after failing, Yin Qing understood the situation in Daliang and went north to seek refuge with the King of Dong Wu, who was now the King of Wu. He was highly valued and accepted everything.

Of course, Yin Qing was not willing to put in all his effort to encourage the King of Wu to go south and end it so hastily.

However, he could also see that the King of Wu had lost all interest. His heart was hanging on the border of Rouran.

After all, that was the base camp of North Wu.

At least a dozen cities had been conquered in the south, and they still occupied seven or eight cities. At least in terms of victory and defeat, Northern Wu had the upper hand.

If he withdrew now, it wouldn’t be a disappointment.

These words struck a chord in Wu Wang’s heart.”Then let’s do as you say.”

Yin Qing was treated well by the King of Wu and had been granted the title of a servant long ago.

“Your Majesty is wise.” Yin Qing cupped his fists.”

” The situation in Daliang has taken a turn for the worse. It’ll be difficult for them to return to their prime even if they recuperate for a few years. The current Emperor Yong Ping was short-sighted, narrow-minded, and jealous. It was difficult for him to achieve great things.”

“Unfortunately, that poison didn’t take Xie Xian’s life.”

” Yes.” Wu Wang nodded. Unfortunately,” If once is not enough, then twice.””

“If the poison doesn’t work, we’ll directly send an assassin. Doesn’t Emperor Yong Ping rely heavily on Xie Xian? Just kill him. I don’t believe that he can still jump around for a few days!”

“Men, retreat.”

“I will stay.”

“I’ll give you three months. Once the situation here has stabilized, you can return to the capital immediately.””

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Thus, that night, the King of Wu led 30,000 troops back to defend Rouran.

At this point, North Wu was in seclusion and did not come out. No matter how much Daliang cursed, bringing along the eighteen generations of Wu King’s ancestors, they were able to remain calm and did not come out.

When Xie Xian saw the reply, he smiled.

Before he could be happy and report the good news to the Emperor, there was quite a commotion on the Emperor’s side.

Emperor Yong Ping’s mind had always been on the war at the front, and he could not even sleep. It had been difficult for him to maintain his sleep for an hour for a few days, so he secretly increased the dosage and drank a large amount of calming soup and medicine. In the end, he did not wake up until dawn.

Duo Fu was shocked. He was afraid that he would drink himself to death and that the court meeting would not be held, so he directly sent someone to invite Xie Xian into the Palace.

Fortunately, there was still some sound, so Xie Xian went to the Imperial Academy of Medicine for consultation.

Unfortunately, no one dared to take the initiative, afraid that if they said something wrong, it would be the crime of extermination.

Xie Xian had no choice but to discuss with the court judge to give the Emperor a medicinal soup to induce vomiting. With Xie Xian taking the brunt, no one had any objections. It was not their turn to take the blame. They kept torturing until almost afternoon. It was unknown if they had woken up or if the medicine had worn off, but Emperor Yong Ping slowly woke up.

He was completely stunned as he saw the imperial physicians kneeling on the ground.

“Urgent report from Xu Prefecture.” Xie Xian moved to the Emperor’s side.

The Emperor’s eyes lit up when he heard that, and he woke up again.

“Why are all of my imperial physicians kneeling here? What’s wrong with me? If there’s nothing else, then leave. Xuzhou emergency report–is it good news?”

The imperial physicians heaved a sigh of relief and left in a single file.

In terms of tricking which family was stronger, the Xie family was the first. They couldn’t beat him, but they managed to fool the emperor.

“Your Majesty, you can lead the Chu Guard Army to negotiate with North Wu.”

Huh?

Make peace with what?

“Zhen also lost half of Xuzhou and seven or eight cities.”Emperor Yong Ping was pitiful. Just let it go like that?

Moreover, you think you can negotiate just like that?

What was he doing?

Could it be that they wanted to use the rations to exhaust Liang to death?

Xie Xian: ” It must be Rouran who attacked the border of Northern Wu. Northern Wu can’t afford to waste time on our side.” Sikong sent people to investigate secretly. North Wu did not come out to scold and reduce their troops. The King of Wu must have retreated.”

“Then shouldn’t we pursue the victory?” Emperor Yong Ping was excited and energetic.

“We don’t have much rations left.”

Emperor Yongping: No money is a big problem.

“Why don’t we stay where we are and give each other some time to catch our breath? Otherwise, both sides would suffer and Liang would not be able to reap any benefits.”Xie Xian advised.

The King of Wu must have seen the decline of Daliang and knew that it was fine even if he retreated. He would not be able to cause any trouble.

So what if Emperor Yong Ping could not do it now?

After writing the imperial edict, Emperor Yong Ping slowly dried his brush and ink.”Rouran’s dispatch of troops is quite timely. Just as my beloved minister is worried, I’m afraid that Daliang won’t be able to fight a protracted war.”

“It was indeed right to befriend the Seventeenth Prince that day. He’s a sentimental person and even knows how to lend a helping hand to Daliang at the right time.”

If this continued, it would be disadvantageous for Liang.

Xie Xian faintly smiled.

Was it the right time?

How could there be so many coincidences in the world?

Why did the Emperor think he was sending the fake princess over? He even sent the money, dowry, and technical talents over.

Naturally, they would make the best use of everything and each department would have their own duties.

If I only rely on old friendships, I’m afraid I’ll have a thought before I die. The Emperor of Daliang is not bad. He gave me a lot of good things back then, which was beneficial to my Rouran.

Love?

That was not something that should be discussed between countries.
