The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 295 The Dust Settles
Although Guo Jia has repaired the road into the Northland, the snow disaster in the Northland is unavoidable.

Knowing that the snow disaster would happen in advance, the plague evacuated and relocated the people, so it might not happen, but Yan Qing didn't dare to gamble.

So she asked You Zhiqing, who had the most experience in the plague, to go to the north to sit in charge.

At that time, five months had passed since Wu'an declared war on Xiyan.

During five months, Fu Zhiyue was stationed in Jicheng, and fought with Xiyan for five months, both sides had victories and losses.

After Xi Yan survived the initial surprise attack, the battle with Wu An fell into a stalemate.

After Yan Qing negotiated with Guo Youning, he returned to Xiyan, who had announced the restoration of the country. As the only descendant of the Yan family, he became the emperor of Xiyan as a matter of course.

Xiyan is different from Wu'an. In the history of Wu'an and even the previous dynasties, there has never been a woman proclaiming the emperor, but Xiyan's history has never lacked female emperors in power.

Yan Qing became Xiyan's empress logically, there was no grand enthronement ceremony, since she returned to Tahrir, all kinds of chores were waiting for her.

It is said to be called emperor, but it is no different from what the marshals did in the past, except that there are more civil affairs in the military.

By mid-June, Xirong Wumai withdrew its troops, and the siege of Xiyan was resolved, kicking off the prelude to the counter-offensive.

On the seventeenth day of the same month, Meng Shulan appeared in northern Xinjiang with the imperial edict, exposing Xu Xiangfeng for mutilating the prince and poisoning the late emperor.

Zhenbei Hou Guo Youning declared his allegiance to Shu Wang Meng Shulan, supported him as the new emperor of Wu'an, and launched a crusade against Xu Xiangfeng.

The local forces loyal to Xu Xiangfeng turned their backs, so Guo Youning sent troops to the south and took advantage of the situation to take over the Northeast, which was already under Xu Xiangfeng's control.

The Twelve Departments of Xueyuan originally wanted to take advantage of Guo Youning's southern expedition to raid the Northland, but they didn't expect that the road to the mountains from the Northland had already been opened, Mocheng quickly supported them, and finally lost.

The troops in northern Xinjiang were divided into three groups, and the three northern cities of Jingmo supported each other. Guo Youning led people to attack from Binghe Town to the south, and Meng Shulan was stationed in Yangcheng to launch an attack on the inland fortress of northern Xinjiang. .

Guo Jia is fully in charge of logistics dispatch in northern Xinjiang, and the repair of official roads in northern Xinjiang is temporarily handed over to Zhang Hongfeng for supervision.

At the beginning of July, Xiyan crossed the Xiangzhang River, the army approached directly under the tower of Jicheng, and Fu Zhiyue was defeated.

Xu Xiangfeng returned his troops to Kangdu, and the local troops were scarce. Because Meng Shulan used the name of orthodoxy to attack Xu Xiangfeng, Xiyan was helping allies, and most of the local enemies surrendered.

At the end of August, Xiyan and the northern Xinjiang army gathered together, and the army approached the city of Kangdu.

Xu Xiangfeng defended the city for three months, it was snowing heavily, the weather was freezing, the field battle was not good, and there was a report of a snow disaster in Beidi and other places in northern Xinjiang. invasion.

Xu Xiangfeng took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and his staff persuaded him to move eastward, but Xu Xiangfeng insisted on going his own way, beheading the admonishers to intimidate the officials.

The officials were horrified, the people in the city were unstable, and his people fled, Xu Xiangfeng's situation was over.

On the eve of New Year's Eve in the fifth year of Qianyuan, the coalition forces of Xiyan and Beijiang broke through the city gate of Kangdu, and Fu Zhiyue died in battle.

When the army entered the city, they saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood all over the place, all innocent people, and all the soldiers were shocked!

"Seeing that the situation is over, this son of a bitch actually slaughtered the city to be buried with him?!"

Among the army, someone cursed angrily, which immediately aroused the anger of the crowd, rushed into the imperial city, and saw corpses spread on the ground wherever they passed, and the blood up to the ankles could not be covered by the heavy snow.

In the main hall, Xu Xiangfeng sat high on the dragon chair, crowned with a dragon robe, condescendingly looked down at Meng Shulan and Yan Qing who led the troops into the main hall, and laughed loudly, "I think my Xu family has been working for a hundred years, but it was ruined by a young child!" In the hands of my grandma! Time! Fate!"

Before anyone came forward to arrest him, Xu Xiangfeng died of anger.

After the sergeant stepped forward to check, he shook his head at Yan Qing, "I've taken poison."

"He died easily!"

The soldiers gritted their teeth in hatred, "That's a city full of lives!"

This is a national matter of Wu'an, Yan Qing didn't say anything, and handed it over to Meng Shulan, while he led people throughout the city to search for survivors, and disposed of the corpses in the city to prevent the spread of disease.

It took tens of thousands of people in the city three days to clean up, burn, and bury the corpses in the houses on the street.

You Zhiqing took Lu Ningzhi and Fu Yunhuai to Kangdu on standby to prevent the epidemic.

The fire of burning the corpses burned for ten days, and the stench was mixed with blood, which stretched for seven or eight miles from Kangdu.

A large amount of blood flowed through the rest of the territory along the waterways in the city, causing large areas of drinking water to be polluted.

From the break of the city in December to the completion of all follow-up matters, it was already the end of February.

There are very few survivors in the city of Kangdu, only twelve or three young adults, three to five or six old people, two to four children, and a few escapees.

On the day of cold food, Meng Shulan's founding ceremony was held to mourn for the victims of the Kangdu people and officials.

In mid-March, scientific examinations will be held to select talents and fill official vacancies.

Yan Qing returned to Xiyan to deal with the undecided matters of Xiyan.

In mid-April, King Rongjin and his wife, who had gone to Daliang, returned to China, but they did not return to Kangdu. Instead, they went to Beidi via Yangcheng.

At the end of May, everything was settled. After some cleaning, the court was re-operated. The new Wu'an emperor Meng Shulan, who had not yet been officially crowned, brought the imperial seal to Xiyan to propose marriage to Empress Xiyan in a high-profile manner.

People all over the world have mixed praises and criticisms, but the person involved didn't care, he pressed Wu'an Guoxi in front of Yan Qing's desk, and stared at someone sitting in front of the desk with his eyebrows pressed like a rascal.

"At the beginning you invited me to be side by side, but now that I do, do you want to go back on your word?"

Yan Qing thought that this would happen, and didn't think about retreating again, but...

"The merger of the two countries is not child's play after all."

Yan Qing pressed the center of his brows with a headache, "Besides, I have just experienced turmoil, and there is nothing left to do..."

Meng Shulan stared at her for a while, got up and walked behind her, gently rubbing her temples with her fingertips, "Anyway, I brought the imperial seal of Wu'an, if you don't accept the betrothal gift, I don't care gone."

"As for the merger of the two countries, what are you so worried about? It's been a hundred years since the merger, and Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and it's just right to come back."

Regarding the major issues of the two countries, he said it like a small matter for children, "I will hire you with Jiangshan, and you will marry with Jiangshan. You want me to stand side by side with you, so I will take advantage of it. If you have anything to consider, leave it to me." To deal with it will save my half of the world from picking it up too easily."

Yan Qing shook his hand dumbfounded, "How could I not know that you are such a rascal by nature?"

"There's a lot you don't know, and you can learn about it slowly in the future."

Meng Shulan embraced her neck, leaned down slightly, rested her chin on the top of her hair, rubbed it lightly, and spoke softly, "Now you are eighteen years old, and you have been married for three years, and I am 21 years old, and I am already weak. Just right."

"It's okay to be in a mess before. Now that it's settled down, there must be someone staring at you and my harem. I don't want the person I've been guarding for nearly ten years to be distracted by someone who suddenly appears from nowhere."

Knowing that her heart is concerned with the world, Meng Shulan also argued forcefully, "I am also here to stabilize the courts of the two countries."
