This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 168 Using the Country as a Chess, Some People Are Inflated

The next day, the imperial capital of Great Xia was a hundred miles to the east, in Nao, Qing'an.

Qing'annao is a secluded and peaceful village, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with layers of mountains and rivers inside, picturesque scenery, like a paradise.

The morning mist is full of colorful light, there are cattle swaying in the paddy field, there is smoke rising from the trees, and the laughter of children echoes ethereally.

Everything seemed so simple and natural, but no one knew that the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, the supreme emperor His Majesty was sleeping peacefully in a certain bamboo house at this moment.

Outside the fenced courtyard wall, Guo Da and Xu Chu, dressed as woodcutters, stood motionless at the courtyard gate like two door gods.

Under the big willow tree a few steps away, Zhao Gao was dressed in the attire of an accountant, overlooking the quiet and peaceful village with deep emotion.

His majesty is really calm, most of the south of the sky is in one piece, and his majesty still has the leisure to go to this kind of place to visit the mountains and rivers, to cultivate his body and mind.

However, he also knew that although His Majesty seemed to stay out of the matter on the surface, he did not mobilize a single soldier from Daxia to directly participate in the Great War of the Five Kingdoms. between thoughts.

Even, His Majesty is still leading the war as an outsider!
This kind of wisdom of quietly playing with powerful enemies from all sides is even more admirable and awe-inspiring.

If not for His Majesty's will, if not for Daxia's secret disruption, I am afraid that after last night, the death knell of the Yunbo Dynasty would be sounded completely, and the David Dynasty would not last for half a month either!

However, the situation has changed!

I don't know how long it has passed, a series of movements suddenly appeared in the courtyard wall.

Another quarter of an hour later, the courtyard door opened, and Xia Ao, who was wearing a simple black robe, stepped out, followed by Shangguan Wan'er and Gu Ruoyun.

Zhao Gao was refreshed and hurried forward.

"Your Majesty, Wan An~"

Xia Ao smiled lightly and nodded, walked to the ridge, looked at the quiet and picturesque village, took a deep breath of the clear and refreshing air, and felt refreshed.

"The sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard from a distance, and the dawn is full of green onions. The five clouds are opened. The road is as simple as it is simple, and it is bright when it is simple. It is really a wonderful scene in the world."

Hearing Xia Ao's emotion, Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, nodding in agreement.

"What your majesty said is very true. The clean and peaceful stream is like a mirror, washing away the dusty heart and opening up the five senses. This place is indeed a rare healing place in the world. If your majesty likes it, why not set up a palace?"

Gu Ruoyun's beautiful eyes flashed lightly, but she shook her head and giggled.

"A bit of ink, the square house has been moved for more than ten years. Although my sister's proposal is good, I am afraid that once the palace is established, the simplicity and simplicity here will change, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the wonderful scenery it is today."

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly, then smiled in relief.

"What my sister said is that my sister took it for granted."

"Sister, don't blame me, my sister doesn't want to bloom a flower, I just worry that some changes will make it difficult for Your Majesty to enjoy the scene of love..."

Gu Ruoyun bowed to Shangguan Wan'er with a sincere apology on her face.

"Okay, the two of you don't want to compliment each other humbly anymore."

Xia Ao laughed, and looked at Zhao Gao who wanted to speak several times but couldn't get in.

"Tell me, how was the battle last night?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, last night, after receiving Mu Qingyue's message, Yang Jun of Yunbo Shangzhu State made a plan, and at the cost of the lives of [-] loyal and brave soldiers, led Qingqiu's main force into a well-designed ambush circle! A series of interlocking plans have also been designed, such as encirclement and aid.”

"After a whole night of fierce fighting, more than [-] people were killed or injured in Qingqiu's army. After dawn, they had no choice but to retreat and leave the battlefield."

"Although Yunbo's army has completely controlled the situation on the battlefield, the gap in combat power between the two sides is there. Therefore, although they won the victory, it was only a miserable victory."

"In this battle, Yunbo's army suffered more than [-] casualties, and most of them were the main battle army."

"Now, on the Ronglin battlefield, Qingqiu has only 50 troops left to fight, and Yunbo has just over a million left. Among them, the main battle army and the city guard army are almost half."

"Therefore, although Yunbo won an unexpected victory, he is still at a disadvantage."

Zhao Gao didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly reported the results of the Ronglin battlefield.

"It seems that Yang Jun does have a few brushes, and it is quite good to be able to achieve such a result."

Although Xia Ao was not surprised, he was still a little emotional.

After all, the difference in combat power between Qingqiu's army and Yunbo's army is just like the gap between Yunbo's main battle army and the city guard army.

"What about the east side?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, last night David's army also dispatched 18 elites to encircle and suppress the elites of the Chu army and Liang army who sneaked into its hinterland."

"Thanks to the precise information provided by our side, the total of more than [-] elite troops sent by Da Chu and Daliang were almost wiped out, and only a few scattered fish escaped by chance, and they were unable to cause effective damage. "

Unlike the Qingqiu Dynasty, although the armies of Daliang and Dachu were slightly stronger than David's, they were limited.

In the same battle between the elite and the elite, David's side has made sufficient preparations, mentally and unintentionally, and has an absolute numerical advantage. It is naturally easy to lock in the victory.

"That's right. In this way, Yunbo and David can last for a while longer."

Xia Ao nodded in satisfaction.

He likes this feeling of being far away from thousands of mountains and rivers and using other countries as pawns at will.

"The reason why Yunbo and David can survive against the sky is due to His Majesty's protection."

Zhao Gao complimented, and then hesitated: "It's just that this old slave is worried that some people may get overwhelmed by their ambitions for a while, and expand their ego..."

"Expansion?"

Xia Ao chuckled, holding his hands behind his back and looking playful.

"It's better if it's inflated. If it's inflated, it won't cause problems for me. Let them toss it first. Once this month is over, I, Daxia, will also swallow the world!"

……

The imperial capital of Yunbo, the imperial palace.

"really?!"

Emperor Yunbo Mu Lianghuai suddenly stood up from the throne, his eyes widened, and he stared at Prime Minister Ke Xin in surprise and joy.

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true! In this battle, our army has killed and wounded a total of 45 enemy troops! The enemy army is on the front line, and there are only less than 50 battle-ready soldiers left!"

Ke Xin nodded heavily, and replied with an extremely excited expression.

"Your Majesty, here is the detailed battle report!"

"Quick! Show it to me!"

Mu Lianghuai's excited eyes were red, and the right hand pointing to the booklet held by Ke Xin was trembling slightly.

Ever since Qingqiu's army rushed all the way into Yunbo's hinterland unstoppably, he hasn't had a peaceful night's sleep!The ghost knows what kind of dreadful days he lives every day.

Because of the strength of the enemy army, he really couldn't find any psychological comfort, and he couldn't see the hope of victory at all.

There were many times when he woke up from a nightmare. It was a nightmare in which the imperial capital was breached, he was dragged from the throne with a grinning grin, and then he was killed with a knife!
God is sorry, but now, he actually got such an unimaginable battle report!

When an eunuch quickly delivered the battle report to Mu Lianghuai, and when Mu Lianghuai read it all at once, the ecstatic smile could no longer be contained, and it spread rapidly from Mu Lianghuai's face.

"hahahahahahahahahaha……"

Mu Lianghuai laughed out loud, and the undisguised laughter contained surging energy, shaking the tiles outside the hall's roof beams to hum lightly.

"Good! Good! Good! You are worthy of Shangzhu Kingdom, our Yunbohu Army, and my loyal and brave son!"

"Nearly half of the enemy was wiped out in the first battle, and this enemy was the Qingqiu Dynasty, the most powerful and mighty like Taiyue. With such brilliant results, how can anyone in the world compare?"

Mu Lianghuai was so excited that he carried himself away, and the ministers who came with the prime minister were also overjoyed, their brows stretched.

The combat strength of Qingqiu's army was like a ten thousand catty boulder, which kept them under pressure and made them unable to see any hope.

But now, with the results of this battle released, most of that suffocating feeling of depression has dissipated.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that the Qingqiu Dynasty wasn't that scary, and it wasn't that they really had no hope of winning!

"Your Majesty! In this battle, the enemy's army lost nearly half of it, while our army only lost more than [-] people. There are still more than a million troops, crushing the opponent in terms of numbers!"

"And after this battle, the morale of the enemy army will definitely drop greatly, otherwise, the morale of our army will skyrocket!"

"If the enemy does not continue to increase its troops, our army has every hope of completely defeating the enemy and driving them out from the territory of our Yunbo Dynasty!"

"All this is thanks to His Majesty's blessing!"

A minister stepped forward and said excitedly.

Mu Lianghuai smiled even more cheerfully, and his spine, which was a little bent under the huge pressure, straightened up.

The smile on Ke Xin's face froze, and his brows were slightly frowned.

"Your Majesty, our army only won this battle miserably. Half of the remaining million troops are city guards. This means that the overall combat power of our army has actually dropped a lot."

"And the reason why this battle can be won is because of the key information obtained by the eldest princess from Daxia, and only then can the crisis be turned into an opportunity, and clever tricks can be used to win."

"But in the future, we won't have such an opportunity again. Even if the enemy doesn't continue to increase their troops, we're afraid it will be very difficult for us to stop..."

Mu Lianghuai and other ministers, who were excited when they heard Ke Xin pouring cold water, were not very happy.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is a little bit of raising the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige. Intelligence is the key, but our soldiers fought with their lives, and our soldiers fought with their lives to win the victory!"

"Now the morale of our army is like a rainbow, and Shangzhu Kingdom personally commands, not to mention taking the initiative to attack and defeat the enemy, but continuing to defend will not be a problem, right?"

"What Lord Liu said is, Your Majesty, I think that we don't need to ask Daxia for help now. After all, we can't predict whether we will ask for reinforcements or evil wolves with evil intentions!"

"Your Majesty, I agree. At least for the time being, there is no need to ask for help. Let's wait for further changes in the battle situation before making a decision."

Following the advice of several ministers one after another, Mu Lianghuai, who already had a great fear of Da Xia, finally made a decision.

"What you dear friends said is that I believe in Shangzhu Kingdom, and I also believe in Yunbo's loyal and brave sons. I believe that they can resist the enemy's invasion!"

"Send a letter to the eldest princess and tell her to temporarily stop asking for help from Daxia. This is my will and must be obeyed!"

"According to the order!"

"His Majesty……"

Prime Minister Ke Xin's face changed slightly, and he wanted to speak out to dissuade him.

However, Mu Lianghuai has already made up his mind and is not willing to obey at all.

"Okay, I've made up my mind, there's no need to say anything more about this matter."

"Next, let's discuss the rewards for the frontline soldiers. They are not afraid of life and death for my Yunbo's peace. Naturally, the court should commend them well, to honor their ambitions and strengthen the morale of the army!"

Ke Xin's heart was heavy, but he could only sigh helplessly.
