Evil King's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 492
Another ten days passed, and Yan Mo swallowed, "Your Majesty, the soldiers are all going to dig up tree roots and eat them. What does the country of Yan want?"

Ye Lingxu was also hungry and thirsty, but he could only drink water to satisfy his hunger. After drinking a large glass of water, Ye Lingxu said quietly: "The country of Yan is so arrogant because of the lack of food and grass in the city."

"Then what should we do, your majesty needs to drink water to satisfy your hunger, let alone the soldiers in the city. Why don't we break through while we still have strength?" Yan Mo couldn't stand it and kept dodging like this.

Ye Lingxu shook his head resolutely, "No, we have less than [-] people, and we lack clothing and food. Everyone is very tired. If you can, let's wait." Ye Lingxu said quietly: "No matter how much food and grass Chu has There is also a day when you finish eating."

Yan Mo wanted to cry but had no tears, "But when they finish eating, we will all starve to death."

"In this way, you pick a few brothers who are good at martial arts, and go to the mountains to hunt some game down."

"Your Majesty, all the brothers who can hunt have eaten all the wild game in a radius of ten miles." Yun Huan sighed, "But during this war, not to mention people can't eat enough, even animals can't eat enough. Called Rabbit and pheasant are just that small, not big enough to fit between the teeth."

Ye Lingxu didn't expect the situation to be so bad. The two letters have been sent out for more than ten days, why there is still no movement? "Well, stay for another three days. If it still doesn't work, let's fight to the death." Ye Lingxu calculated the date. The [-]th day is enough for Liao and Chu to prepare. If there is no movement by then, then It means he is really helpless.

What Ye Lingxu didn't expect was that the two places had already received the letter, and Liaodi was now in charge of a female spy under Danxin's command. On the first day he got the letter, he hurriedly reported the situation to Danxin.Danxin only replied: wait and see.

In Chudi, the Ninth Prince frowned when he received Ye Lingxu's request letter, "Why didn't he ask the Queen directly for help, instead of asking the Queen for help?"

"Perhaps the empress is not happy?" Qing'er shook her head hastily as soon as the words came out, "The empress is sincere to Ye Lingxu, if Ye Lingxu really speaks, it is impossible to disagree."

"Then there is only one reason. Emperor Wei doesn't want to ask the Queen for help. After all, he is a man." The Ninth Prince chuckled and suppressed Ye Lingxu's request letter. "Wait for two days and see what the Queen's attitude is." Say it again."

Chu Di is waiting for Dan Xin's statement, but Dan Xin is waiting for Chu Di's actions.

A few days have passed, and he has not done anything for a long time, and it is not easy to directly question the Ninth Prince. He wrote a letter to ask Qing'er about the current situation, but in fact he is asking the Ninth Prince's thoughts.

"It turns out that the Empress wants us to help Ye Lingxu." Qing'er and the Ninth Prince looked at the letter in their hands together, and they looked at each other with a smile, "The lovers will eventually get married, how about we help them?"

The Ninth Prince was faintly worried, "But the Queen didn't help him, but asked us to help, isn't it just worrying about something? Belonging to the State of Qi has caused panic, if we send troops to help the State of Wei again..."

Qing'er sternly said, "Then it's fine if you don't help, I'll go back to the queen now and solve her problems."

"Qing'er!" The Ninth Prince was angry and impatient, and finally compromised: "Okay, okay, I will help." After speaking, he quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare food and grass, and selected the most elite soldiers to go to help.

Because of the delay for a few days, it was already the seventh day since Ye Lingxu wrote a letter asking for help when the Yandi soldiers set off. The journey was high and the water was far away, and the long journey arrived in Yiyang County, which happened to be the day before Ye Lingxu was about to fight to the death. day.

"Early tomorrow morning, if the reinforcements haven't arrived yet..." In the city, Ye Lingxu saw that the date was only the last day, and made up his mind, "Even if it's a desperate day, I have to rush out!"

"If Yiyang County falls, it means that the Yan State has opened up the road to our Wei State. Brothers, this battle can only be won and not lost." Yan Mo played his Yan family in public in order to boost morale. marksmanship.

Seeing this, all the soldiers couldn't help but get excited, "General Yan is mighty, with this set of marksmanship, he will definitely kill Yan soldiers!"

"We will win the country!" There were bursts of shouts overwhelming.

"Report!" Just as the soldiers were ready to go into battle to kill the enemy, the spies suddenly reported, "Report to the emperor, we found the footprints of other troops outside the city."

"Other troops?" Ye Lingxu rushed forward, "Have you seen their flags, but are they from Chu or Liao?"

The spy shook his head, "I didn't find this, but my subordinates found this." The spy presented the things he picked up on the way.

Ye Lingxu took a closer look and grinned instantly, "Great, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"How do you say that? How can you tell from just a cotton coat?" Yan Mo was overjoyed when he heard that the reinforcements had arrived.But then he raised his own questions.

Ye Lingxu held the cotton coat in his hand, "The army must be from the Chu region. Chu is cold all year round, and it should be winter now. This cotton coat was probably discarded by the soldiers of the Chu army."

"But my country of Wei also has cotton clothes..." Yan Mo said stupidly.

Ye Lingxu was in a good mood, and he didn't want to argue with Yan Mo, he just smiled and said: "It's summer, who will throw away the winter clothes? What's more, the cotton clothes are intact and undamaged, I guess the Chu army must dislike him If you don’t believe me, let the spies follow the footprints, and you will definitely find a lot of heavy clothes along the way.”

Yan Mo refused to accept, "Come on, go find it!"

Before evening, the spies reported back again and followed the footprints to find at least a thousand of these cotton-padded clothes discarded along the way. "Did you hear that?" Ye Lingxu looked at the spies who reported back with a smile, and finally his heart sank.

"The Ninth Prince of Chu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This time he will definitely make a fortune by sending troops to help. If my guess is correct: now that the troops of the Yan Kingdom are out, the Ninth Prince must have bypassed us and led the Chu army straight to The country of Yan has gone."

"Then if we attack back and forth, the Yan Kingdom will be destroyed?" Yan Mo said excitedly.

Ye Lingxu didn't think much about it, "The Ninth Prince's purpose is not to destroy the Yan Kingdom, he only wants the greatest benefit, do you understand?"

"I don't understand, if the country of Yan is not destroyed, what kind of soldiers will he send?"

"The Ninth Prince is not a simple person. Have you forgotten that he pretended to be crazy for [-] years, just for the throne? But later, Danxin swallowed Chu, and he could only compromise. With Danxin's help, he became a fief king. If there is a chance, he will definitely try to regain the sovereignty. Sending troops now is just because of the situation." Ye Lingxu analyzed the current situation one by one, looked up at Yan Mo Yunhuan, "pass on the order, and fight for a few more Day, the Yan army will soon be too busy to retreat. At that time, our troops outside will be able to bring food and grass in, and everyone will be saved."

Yan Mo gritted his teeth, "Okay, then I'll let the brothers persevere."

"Kill!" The next day, Chu's army directly attacked the capital of Yan State, sweeping away like bandits wherever they went.Not only the Palace of the King of Yan, but also the homes of all princes and generals were ransacked.

"My lord, it's not good, an army came out of nowhere and directly attacked my palace, looted all the money in it, turned around and left.

"Root, rob everything?" King Yan almost fainted when he heard the words, he wanted to besiege Ye Lingxu here, but unexpectedly he ignored the rear.

"Are you alright, Wang?" The spies grabbed the fallen King Yan, but unexpectedly received a solid slap, "Get out, let me get out, I can't even take care of the rear, I want you What's the use?"

The spy rubbed his slapped cheek, he is just a spy and not a general defending the city, why blame him for the fault?
"Go home." King Yan immediately made a decision after being furious.

"Is the king going to give up attacking Weiguo? We have been defending for so many days, and we are about to take this city." Yiyang County with tens of thousands of horses?

But King Yan was triumphant, saying that he would take Yiyang County without spending a single soldier.

It's good now, not only did not win Yiyang County, but also caused the palace to be robbed, it's all due to the fatuous King Yan!

Having said that, no one dared to say these words in front of King Yan, but after hearing King Yan's decision, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, "I'm afraid it's wrong to go back now?"

"The widow is the king, and the widow's order is God's will. What's wrong, do you want to rebel?" King Yan was furious, and he picked up the collars of the opposing soldiers, "If you have the guts, repeat what you just said ?”

The soldier who was picked up by the collar swallowed his saliva, and finally bowed his head, "I dare not raise any objections."

"That's more or less the same." King Yan threw the soldier on the ground at once, pulled out the saber of the guard at the side and killed him with a single blow. "Anyone who dares to have any complaints, this is the end."

The faces of the other soldiers were gloomy, and no one dared to risk their lives to speak out.

"If things go on like this, the country will be in danger." But not saying it in person doesn't mean that they won't discuss it behind their backs. After leaving the military camp, the soldiers were all furious, "It's so f*ckingly aggrieved these days, bro How many, do you want to go to Yiyang County for a drink?"

"That's where the enemy army is. If the king finds out, he will die."

"Such a fatuous and incompetent king, if my father and mother were not from the country of Yan, I would have left the country of Yan long ago. Why bother to work for him?" "Whether he knows it or not, let's talk about it after the brothers have had a good drink."

Several soldiers hit it off immediately, changed into civilian clothes, and sneaked into Yiyang County.

It was hard to find a restaurant, but they had nothing but wine, "I said, why don't you have anything?" A soldier of the Yan Kingdom couldn't help complaining.

The people of the state of Wei lowered their heads, "You guys just entered the city, let alone the meat, even the roots of the trees are almost eaten up in the city." After speaking, they sighed: "Now there is nothing to fill their stomachs except wine. gone."

Several people looked at each other, "Then what do you eat?"

The owner of the restaurant chuckled, "Tree roots, sweet potatoes, that's what the emperor eats. We have nothing to complain about."

Several people heard the words, compared with their own King Yan, and then looked at Emperor Wei who could accompany the people to eat tree roots and turf, and they had different opinions. "Where is Emperor Wei?"

The owner of the restaurant rolled his eyes, "Maybe he was patrolling the city wall, or he might have taken the soldiers up the mountain to hunt, wait a moment, everyone, I'll go get you some wine." The calm and calm Yan Guo soldiers left before them, and quietly walked out through the back door. Slipping away to the government office, "Hurry up, let the emperor know that a secret agent has sneaked into the city, and he is in my wine shop right now."

"Why has the boss been away for so long and hasn't come back?" Several soldiers of the Yan Kingdom waited for a long time, but they still didn't wait for the wine shop owner to deliver the wine. They looked at each other and said, "Let's go."

"Since you are already here, why bother to leave?" As soon as the words finished, a deep voice came from outside.
