The phoenix of the daughter's rebirth is all over the world

Chapter 436 The Centennial Foundation
In the city of Yuzhou, even though the Marquis of Qingyuan put Yuanqing under house arrest, he still couldn't save the Xi's army from declining, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

In just one month, the Huang Kingdom's army surrounded the city of Yuzhou. Without a commander, the army of equal strength was trapped in the small city of Yuzhou, unable to break through.

With so many troops trapped in the city, there is still one biggest problem - food and grass.The food and grass in the rear could not be supplied, and the food and grass in the city could not withstand the consumption of so many people. One month after the siege, the food and grass in the city were exhausted, and the army was short of food, so they robbed the people in the city of food.

Even though the Marquis of Qingyuan is famous for his strict military management, even though his [-] Imperial Forest Army obeyed him, the other large armies came from east to west. Xiao Que had suppressed them with an iron fist before, but the Marquis of Qingyuan had almost no prestige in front of them. In order not to obey orders at all.

In the early stage, the Marquis of Qingyuan caught the general who gathered a crowd to rob the people of food and grass, and he wanted to punish him with death. Grain, you can't take the brothers out to kill, don't you let the brothers get some food so that they don't starve to death!"

I have suppressed my emotions for a long time, because the general's words finally found a way to vent, and someone below responded in a low voice: "Yes, Lord Hou, there is no way for anyone to get out. If you don't surrender, this city will be a dead city sooner or later!"

That man was an old man who had been exiled. As soon as he said the words, the blue veins on Qingyuan Hou's forehead throbbed, and he snapped, "What are you talking about? We are the only hope of the Xi Kingdom. How can the Xi Kingdom exist again! If the son of the Xi Kingdom is still a bit bloody, then rush out with me to kill the rebels of the Huang Kingdom!"

As he said it, no one showed any movement or expression, but the old lady who sang against him spoke again: "It is not us who lost the country of Xi, but the emperor himself. If it wasn't for him to change generals , can we suffer such a heavy loss and be forced into such a situation by the Xi Kingdom? Back then we won under the leadership of the prince, how could we be forced to nest here like a turtle grandson like today!"

When he said his words, the people below who were afraid to speak up echoed one after another, and the Marquis of Qingyuan couldn't calm down at all.

"I don't know how many battles I have fought in my life. I have seen so many corpses. I have seen scenes of cannibalism. It will be the same in Yuzhou City in a short time. It is useless for you to stare at me, Lord Hou." The old cow was cold. He said with a smile, "You know if I'm telling the truth. We know that you are loyal, but you must at least give your brothers a way to survive. No one is born with a low life. He wants to die for such an emperor. Brothers, do you think so?" no!"

There was a burst of echoes from below, Qingyuan Hou felt dizzy for a while, and he was extremely clear in his heart that the general situation was over.

The royal family has declined, and the majesty in the hearts of the people and soldiers has disappeared. Under such circumstances, Xiao Que led the army to make outstanding achievements repeatedly, and Emperor Zhao... Emperor Zhao actually changed his generals when everyone expected him to return. The command caused heavy losses to the army.

Under the siege, there is no commander in the army, no food and grass, and no reinforcements from the central government, and the army's morale is slackened.And he is a person who has been in the battlefield for a long time, so he naturally knows how to fight in the army. Sometimes the number of people may not be the key to determining the outcome of the battle. There are countless examples in history of winning more with fewer.But the level of morale must be the key to victory!
If it is an army, they are already disappointed with the monarch of their own country, and the majesty of the royal family is gone, so how should they fight.

At such a time, the Marquis of Qingyuan thought of a person... a person who can turn the tide, as long as he is under his leadership, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope in such a desperate situation!
That is also the country of Xi, the last glimmer of hope...

In the barren small yard, there is nothing special about it from the outside.When they found this place, even Xuanqing himself didn't think that the person people had been looking for for a long time was in Yuzhou City.

The dilapidated small courtyard, it just rained last night, there is still water on the pitted ground in the yard, half of the white camellia flowers were splashed with yellow mud, and they bloomed wiltingly in the sun, even before seeing that person. At that moment, Xuanqing was still doubting the authenticity of his subordinates' information, until - seeing the man in white, all doubts dissipated.

"Prince Regent..." Seeing him, as if seeing a savior, Qingyuan Hou heaved a sigh of relief, lost his composure for the first time in many years, and said, "Now that it is at a critical moment, please ask the prince to come forward and save Yuzhou from the embarrassment... ..."

This time, Qingyuan Hou brought officials of all sizes in Yuzhou City and generals in the army with the intention of forcing Xiao Que out.

Xiao Que glanced lightly at the officials following Qingyuanhou, and knew Qingyuanhou's intentions.On the surface, he still calmly stopped Qingyuan Hou from saluting, and said with a smile: "Now that Xiao has no official position, why should the Marquis make such a grand gift?"

Seeing that Xiao Que still said this at this time, he was secretly annoyed at Xiao Que's pretentiousness. He only thought that Xiao Que was still using Qiao to say this deliberately because Emperor Zhao withdrew his military power, but on the surface he still said: "This Marquis knows Being wronged, it was His Majesty who made Yuan Qing come to Yuzhou and almost missed the century-old foundation of Xi Kingdom. Now Yuan Qing has been taken by this Marquis. All the foundations are entrusted to the prince, and the prince is invited to return to the army to preside over the overall situation!"

With Qingyuanhou's personality, it is rare for him to say such beautiful words and praise someone so highly, but everything is not forced by the form.

Now that the army's morale is scattered, many generals have already moved the idea of ​​surrendering to the Huang Kingdom. Although he has a hundred thousand imperial guards who are still loyal to him, he doesn't know how long he can last under the general trend.

Now that the royal family is in decline, the majesty of the royal family can't suppress the floating military spirit at all.There is only one person who has led Xi's army to be invincible for many years because of his existence. Under the current situation, only he can turn the tide and arouse the lost morale of the army.Just like the son's mausoleum in the Huang Kingdom, the son Yu from the Yue country in the past, and the son Chu who was famous in the East with them, they can still do it.

Therefore, when the spies found out about Xiao Que's whereabouts by accident, he led all the officials in Yuzhou City to ask Xiao Que to grasp the seal again, and he knew that Xiao Que would definitely agree.

If Xiao Que was disheartened because of Emperor Zhao's temporary general change, then Xiao Que could have left Yuzhou and would not stay in Yuzhou City, but Xiao Que did not do so; and according to Xiao Que's method, if it was true If he didn't want others to find his trace, the spies he sent out to find Xiao Que would definitely not find Xiao Que.

Now they can come here because Xiao Que wants to appear in front of them.That is to say, Xiao Que would not dare to ignore such a situation, but these few months were just a means of revenge and blackmailing Emperor Zhao, to prove his importance to the world.

Qing Yuanhou knew Xiao Que's identity, and knowing his identity knew Xiao Que's ambition, so he knew that Xiao Que would not refuse.

Xiao Que looked at Qing Yuanhou, and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth. He showed his tracks on purpose, but his purpose of appearing in front of everyone was not to go back...

Seeing that Xiao Que didn't speak, the people waiting for orders from Qingyuan held up the commander's seal. Under the bright yellow silk and satin, it was covered with the life and death of millions of soldiers, and it was the century-old foundation of Xi Kingdom.

Under everyone's expectation, Xiao Que glanced at Qingyuanhou again, and asked again as if confirming: "Master Hou, are you sure you want Xiao to take over the commanding seal again?"

At this time, he was worried about the fate of the Xi Kingdom, because the rumors in the Japanese army were rampant at this time, which made Qing Yuanhou lose his calm and the most basic ability to judge.

If it was normal, he must have seen something wrong in his heart. If Xiao Que really cared about the country of Xi, why did he know that the situation was critical at the beginning, while Yuan Qing was just an idiot, and General Yin easily let him go? What about him?
It's just that at such a moment, no matter how wise and calm a person is, he loses his basic judgment, and it is rare to say impatiently: "The situation is extremely urgent now, please don't ruin the century-old foundation of the Xuan family because of everyone's selfishness!"

His unscrupulous words showed his impatience at this time. He was talking about the century-old foundation of the Xuan family, not the century-old foundation of the Xi Kingdom. He secretly reminded Xiao Que in a way that only Xiao Que and he knew. identity.

He did not know then that he had made a great, irreparable mistake.Perhaps from the very beginning, he was confused by Xiao Que's identity, thinking that no matter what he did and what position he stood in, it was impossible for him to ignore Xi's century-old foundation.

When Qingyuan Hou couldn't see, Xiao Que's mouth curled into a very cold smile.

Under the expectation of everyone, he finally reached out to take the handsome seal, a small handsome seal, carrying the hope of thousands of people.

His deep eyes have undergone thousands of changes in an instant, as if the sea has changed.

Outside, in the city of Yuzhou, hundreds of officials and generals, big and small, knelt outside, waiting to welcome him, and waiting for him to bring the last ray of hope to Yuzhou.

"Kaicheng, surrender!"

The afternoon sun shone on such a barren yard, and Hou Qingyuan followed Xiao Que. He almost fell down after hearing Xiao Que's words. He never expected that Xiao Que would issue such an order...

The officials kneeling on the ground did not expect that the last ray of hope and way out they ushered in in the end turned out to be such a way!

Even their only hope said so, so where else could they have any other way out?Those officials were all thinking so desperately in their hearts.

And Xiao Que's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, crushing everyone's hopes.
