Drunk House Chapter 678

In the palace of Nanchu King, after receiving the good news, King Nanchu stood up and looked at Ye Xiang in disbelief.

"Good news? Didn't the Wei Dynasty withdraw its troops?" He wondered, "Where did the good news come from?"

The Night Prime Minister was also surprised and happy, "Back to the king, the Wei Dynasty has withdrawn its troops, but the princess and the others did not lead the troops back to the court. Instead, after the Wei Dynasty withdrew its troops, they pursued the Wei Dynasty with their back legs. Now they have captured Dingna City in the Great Wei Dynasty."

The King of Nanchu felt a little mysterious, "How is this possible?"

If Dingnancheng in the Wei Dynasty was so easy to capture, Nanchu would not have been constantly harassed by the Dingnancheng garrison in recent years. Relying on its great power and strong national power, the Wei Dynasty often caused trouble at the border. Although there were no major wars, there were always small frictions, and Nanchu always suffered.

Prime Minister Ye handed the good news to the King of Nanchu, "Your Majesty, read it for yourself! This is Gui Xue's own handwriting. It is impossible for him to joke about such a thing."

Hearing this, the King of Southern Chu took the letter and confirmed it again and again. It was indeed good news. He said "Oh ya" several times in a row, with wrinkles on his face and said, "These children are young and energetic, how can they be so powerful?"

He walked twice in the same place and then said, "This is too bold. We don't have enough food, grass and military pay in Nanchu."

The corner of Ye Xiang's mouth twitched, "Your Majesty, are you thinking too much? Even if we have enough food and grass now, we still can't swallow up the Wei Dynasty. In addition to food and grass, there is also a supply of military supplies. All the losses in the war are not enough."

The King of Nanchu sighed, "It's a pity that such a good opportunity has passed."

The night scene is speechless.

The King of Nanchu sighed for a while, then became happy again, "A few days ago, I was frightened every day when I heard the information from Heiyaguan. Now they can not only turn the situation around, but also run to counterattack the Wei Dynasty. This is really It's a happy thing.”

Prime Minister Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Gui Xue's letter said that we should continue to supervise the food, fodder, military pay and supply and demand. They are planning to seize several cities in the Wei Dynasty, and then negotiate peace with the Wei Dynasty. Take away one of the Wei Dynasty's cities. Layers of skin.”

“Okay, okay.” King Nan Chu nodded repeatedly.

He was happy for a while, then suddenly stopped laughing, "Your family, Ye Guixue, wrote a letter and wrote a battle report. Why didn't Xiaoqi send a letter back to Gu?"

Ye Xiang said: "I'm back in the snow to recuperate. Is everything okay? I have some free time to write a letter back to the royal capital. The princess is very military, so she probably can't spare any free time."

The King of Nanchu reluctantly accepted this reason, "I also want to go to the front line."

Prime Minister Ye immediately said: "Your Majesty, please stop making trouble. We have enough people on the front line. Since we have been back in Beijing these days, Guiyan and Qin Ruo, as well as Feng Yue, Wan Niang and others who are responsible for transporting food, grass and military pay, have Everyone is busy without touching the ground, day and night. The royal capital has just settled down, so you should stay in the palace! Otherwise, there may be remnants of the Nangong family hiding in the dark. If you are not careful, you will make a mistake. , it also distracts the princess."

The King of Nanchu took a breath and looked at Ye Xiang, "Ye Xiang, how about you go?"

Prime Minister Ye immediately shook his head, "I can't go either, I have a lot of things to do. Ever since the Nangong family rebelled, the whole of Nanchu has almost been paralyzed. The papers sent to me from all over the country have piled up, and I have to pick and choose. Pick it up, the important and urgent things will be brought to you, but most of the other chores will have to be handled by the veteran."

Ye Xiang pointed to his head, "Look, my hair has become white these days, and my eye circles have become dark. I haven't returned home for half a month after living in the meeting hall. I'm afraid my wife is dying. I don't recognize the old minister anymore.”

The King of Nanchu was speechless and muttered, "Hey, I just miss my daughter."

Ye Xiang: "..." Does he still miss his granddaughter? His granddaughter is still in Daliang East Palace. Did he say anything?

The King of Nan Chu waved his hand, "Okay, you go and do your work. I know it, so I will tell you. Don't worry, I won't cause trouble."

Ye Xiang felt relieved and did not leave immediately. Instead, he said to the King of Nanchu: "About the Queen and King Liu'an, how do you plan to deal with it, Your Majesty?"

After King Nan Chu returned to the palace, he had not seen the queen yet. Before returning to the capital, he heard that the queen was staying in his bedroom. When he stepped into the palace door, he ordered people to seal his bedroom in disgust. , and locked the person directly inside. He has been living in the imperial study room these days.

Hearing the mention by Prime Minister Ye, the King of Southern Chu said: "The queen has been assassinating Xiao Qi. Her life should be taken when Xiao Qi comes back! Let Xiao Qi handle it. As for King Liu'an..."

The King of Nanchu became angry when he mentioned it, "Is he still in jail?"

"Everyone who participated in the rebellion with him was imprisoned in the sky prison." Ye Xiang was the most annoyed. At that time, his family almost died at the hands of King Liu'an.

The King of Nanchu thought for a while, "Let's wait until Xiao Qi comes back to deal with it!"

Ye Xiang nodded.

The messenger Yuanzhao sent to Yan Huisheng did not return. Yuanzhao sent people to investigate, but he was not killed by Yan Huisheng. The corpse was hung on the city wall to show that Daliang did not accept the peace negotiation.

Yuan Zhao frowned, "Yan Huisheng, what does this mean?"

Luo Yan was not angry at the side, "Your Highness, if you ask me, we should fight back. We have more troops than Daliang. We can retake the lost city and let Daliang see how powerful we are."

Yuan Zhao looked at Luo Yan, "If I want to negotiate peace, I must have an attitude. We can indeed fight back now, but what about Nanchu? Nanchu now has 650,000 soldiers and horses, wearing the same trousers as Daliang."

Luo Yan stamped her feet and wanted to say, "Yuan Zhao, why are you so cowardly?", but she didn't dare. She only said bitterly, "What if Daliang doesn't accept the peace negotiation? Otherwise, why would Daliang have this attitude?"

Yuan Zhao frowned, "Probably not."

He pursed his lips and said, "Just wait a little longer. If there is no news after three days, I will send another messenger."

Luo Yan was speechless. Although she felt resentful, she could do nothing about it. She was dissatisfied, "Your Highness, you told me earlier that you wanted me to help you deal with Yan Huisheng. I didn't expect that after you came to Lanwan River, you changed your mind and wanted to negotiate peace." ”

Yuan Zhao looked at him, "I didn't expect that Yuan Chen would suffer such a disastrous defeat at the time. In the end, the two siege cannons were gone."

He comforted Luo Yan, "Don't worry, sooner or later the king will let you take revenge. If you can't do it on the battlefield, there are other ways."

Luo Yan could only nod.

Yan Huisheng and Lao Guogong naturally knew that the outcome of this battle would be peace, but they were waiting for news from Nanchu.

Three days after Wei sent a messenger, they finally received Su Rong's flying eagle message. After learning that Su Rong had led troops to capture Dingnancheng on the border between Wei and Nanchu, and was planning to continue to attack several more cities, the two of them laughed together and attached the terms they had already discussed to the letter. The messenger was released to Wei.
