After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 78 War comes again
  The next day, the palace.

Helian Wenyu was so anxious about Chunhua that she could not sleep at night. In the morning of the next day, she went to court with two big dark circles under her eyes.

This was the first time she hated morning court so much.

All the courtiers in the morning, even if they could not witness what happened yesterday, had heard about it. Countless strange eyes were cast on her, but she could only bear it silently.

Maybe in their eyes, Chunhua was just a servant, and she was dead when she died and was not worth mentioning.

But only Helian Wenyu, who had played with Chunhua since childhood, knew that Chunhua's importance in her heart was almost second only to the emperor's brother.

How could she watch Chunhua die unjustly when she was plotted against her in full view of the public and given such a deadly poison?
  Absolutely impossible!
  First, the eunuch announced the list of female concubines selected yesterday and their titles, and then the corruption in the Xu family was discovered, and the emperor's brother ordered all the property of the Xu family to be confiscated.

Finally, there is the matter of the border.

A minister was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, our army has successfully broken through the Liting defense line and captured the Yushuang Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"Okay!" Helian Jingxi was overjoyed when he heard this, "I have given instructions to Zhang Wei and others to return to the capital immediately. Anyone who participates in the battle will be heavily rewarded!"

I just admitted the harem yesterday, and today I won the Yushuang Kingdom. This is a double happiness.

However, Fu Yanping didn't think so.

He took a step forward and said: "I believe that Xuefeng Kingdom should give an explanation to Yanchu Kingdom and Qiyun Kingdom."

Over the years, the reason why the situation of the Three Kingdoms has been maintained is because the national power of the three countries is close to each other, and no one can do anything to others.

Once any party takes the lead in breaking the balance, it will be divided between the remaining two.

Although the Yushuang Kingdom is small in area, it has a natural advantage in terms of terrain. It is impossible for the other two empires to watch the Xuefeng Kingdom grow bigger and stronger.

Seeing this, Chu Chuanping took a step forward not to be outdone: "Our Xuefeng Kingdom won the Yushuang Kingdom based on our ability. What does it have to do with Yanchu and Qiyun? General Fu is too unfounded."

Chu Chuanping looked at Fu Yanping provocatively and showed a determined smile.

Fu Yanping just smiled coldly: "Whether the worries are groundless or not is not up to you."

Before Chu Chuanping could refute anything, urgent military information from 800 miles away came from outside the palace.

"Report, the Yanchu Kingdom requires our country to immediately stop invading the Yushuang Kingdom and return the occupied territory, otherwise Yanchu will immediately send troops to suppress Anliang."

Before the ministers could recover from this breaking news, another urgent message came:
  "Report, the Qifeng Empire has launched a war. General Wang Yuanchen is the commander-in-chief, and he has led an army of one hundred thousand to invade our territory. The two cities of Mianhan and Zhaiguo are here. Chen County is in emergency!"

As soon as the news came out, the previously silent court was instantly detonated.

"Is the Qifeng Empire crazy? Is he going to start a war with our country? Aren't you afraid that the Yanchu Empire on the side will reap the benefits?"

"We have defeated a small country like Yushuang Kingdom, why should we still look at the Qiyun Empire? What do they mean by sending troops?"

Helian Jingxi frowned. He raised his eyes to look at the buzzing courtroom and patted the table in front of him: "I'm still here, be quiet!"

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent.

"Sister Huang, what do you think?"

Whenever Helian Jingxi encountered something he was unsure about, his first reaction was to ask Helian Wenyu for help.

Helian Wenyu gave a more conservative suggestion: "Send an envoy to Yanchu to persuade the Yanchu Empire to send troops. When the time comes, the Qifeng army will naturally retreat."

Now the main force of Xuefeng Kingdom is still rushing back from the border of Yushuang Kingdom, and it will not be possible to mobilize more troops to fight for a while.

After all, the 200,000 troops of the Qiyun Empire are different from the imaginary numbers mentioned by Yu Shuangguo. This is a real 200,000 troops.

But if there was help from the Yanchu Empire, the situation would be completely different.      “Okay, just do as the imperial sister said.”

Helian Jingxi made the final decision, and he always obeyed the emperor's sister's ideas.

"No!"

At this critical moment, Fu Yanping jumped out again, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I think this move is inappropriate."

Helian Jingxi first glanced at Helian Wenyu in surprise, then turned to Fu Yanping in confusion and said, "Why?"

Your boy doesn’t want a wife?

Fu Yanping raised his head and explained:

"May I ask, Your Highness, the eldest princess, what conditions must our country offer to persuade the Yanchu Empire in the south to send troops?"

"After all, compared to the war between the Qifeng Empire and our country, it is in the interest of the Yanchu Empire to wait until both our country and the Qifeng Empire fight to the death."

"What's more, the Yanchu Empire also doesn't want our country to completely destroy the Yushuang Kingdom. When the other party uses this as a threat, should our country agree to their request?"

Fu Yanping's two questions directly stopped Helian Wenyu. Helian Wenyu hesitated for a long time without explaining the reason.

Seeing that Helian Wenyu had lost face, Helian Jingxi tried to think of a way to remedy the situation, so he changed the subject and asked Chu Chuanping, "Da Sinong, I wonder what you think of this matter?"

Chu Chuanping thought for a while and said:

"We can recruit troops from various places, take the initiative to shrink the defense line to the bank of the Ran River, and then rely on the geographical advantages of the Ran River to hold on. At the same time, we can send envoys and the Qifeng Empire to delay the situation."

"As long as General Zhang Wei returns to Beijing with the main force, and then we take him by surprise, the crisis can be resolved."

Everyone nodded, this was indeed a good idea.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yanping was sarcastic again and said:
  "Absurd! I think you have learned half your life from dogs, right?"

Chu Chuanping's face turned red and he said angrily: "You!"

But Fu Yanping never thought of letting him go so easily:

"Our army has taken the initiative to shrink its defense line. Is it to give up the land six hundred miles west of the Ran River to the Qifeng Empire? It is easy to give up this land, but it is extremely difficult to take it back."

"In addition, the temporarily mobilized troops are nothing compared to the regular army. How can you ensure that they can delay until Zhang Wei and others return?"

Fu Yanping's series of soul questioning directly left Chu Chuanping speechless.

"What good strategy does Supervisor Fu have?" Helian Jingxi asked.

Fu Yanping stepped forward and bowed, and said in a sonorous tone: "Four words, just fight!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the court laughed.

Chu Chuanping mocked: "I thought our Lord Supervisor had any good strategies to defeat the enemy, but in the end he ended up fighting against the enemy..."

"Doesn't Supervisor Fu know that our dynasty currently has less than 30,000 combat-ready soldiers?"

Fu Yan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course I know, but so what? Who said our army is incapable of fighting?"

The defense line cannot be shrunk. Since the Qiyun Empire wants to fight, then just start a war and be done with it.
