Jinling imperial capital.

Royal Palace.

In the bedroom, Emperor Xiang Yanran lies on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale.

He coughed a few times and woke up.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine!"

Queen Cui woke up and served him carefully, feeding him the Chinese medicine that had just been tormented for a while.

Since the last time he was hit in the Qinhuai River, the emperor's illness has not yet recovered, so he rushed to the morning court.

In recent days, I have been busy with government and military affairs and have been overworked, which has caused lung qi to become stagnant and the condition has worsened.

The emperor got up and took a few sips of bitter medicine, but was worried.

A few months ago, the Great Chu Dynasty had good weather and peace. There were no disasters inside and no military disasters outside.

But in the blink of an eye, the Great Chu Dynasty fell into storm.

The princes rebelled in large numbers, and nearly one million troops from all over the country were like a boiling porridge. Hundreds of thousands of Huns attacked Shuofang with the intention of moving south. Small countries on the border were ready to move.

The imperial court's troops were difficult to deal with and were in short supply.

He even felt a little regretful. The reform of the new policy was too rapid. He promoted the imperial examinations, banned private casting of copper coins, and the official salt and iron camps, deprived the princes of their financial resources, and forced the princes to rebel one after another.

"Queen, do you think I was wrong?"

Xiang Yanran sighed blankly.

If possible, he wanted to go back half a year ago and think carefully about how to play this chess more smoothly.

"The emperor...whether the arrow is turned back when you open the bow? This arrow has been shot out. Now you can only find a way to deal with this situation!"

Queen Cui sighed too.

...

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

Cai and the eunuch hurried into the bedroom, holding a burger in their hands, shouting.

"He Xi?"

Emperor Xiang Yanran sighed lightly and asked, "Don't use some trivial matters to make me happy."

"Emperor, the Chu army was defeated!

The Chu army led an army of 100,000 to the south, crossed the river from Wujiang River to the boundary of Danyang County, preparing to unite with the King of Wu. However, they met the 50,000 army led by Li Yu and Xiao Hunhou.

The two armies fought hard by the river for a day and a night.

The Chu army was cut in half, losing half of it.

King Xiang Wu of Chu, with tens of thousands of remaining troops, retreated to Jiangbei and did not dare to invade the south.

It seems that the Chu army can no longer threaten Jinling City for a while.

This is the military report from Li Yu and Xiao Hunhou.

The King of Chu retreated, and Wu and Chu were unable to coalition forces. Now the court only needs to deal with the 250,000 troops of the King of Wu in Wanling City.

As long as the King of Wu is wiped out, the trap of the Jinling imperial capital will be lifted immediately. Thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River will return to peace! Half of the Great Chu country will be preserved!"

Cai and the eunuch hurriedly said.

"This... Xiaohunhou and Li Yucai led their troops out of Jinling City only three days, and defeated the King of Chu so quickly?"

Xiang Yanran was shocked and hurriedly took the battle report to take a look.

really.

"Okay! Xiao Hunhou and Li Yu, I will live up to my hopes! It is indeed correct that I ordered the two of them to lead troops to fight.

I declare my order and send a thousand pigs and a thousand taels of gold to reward the left general Xiaohunhou and the right general Li Yu.”

Xiang Yanran's face showed joy, his pale face became rosy for a moment, and his spirit was greatly boosted. "Immediately send this battle report to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Censorate and the Taiwei Mansion, so that all officials can see it too!

This is a great victory to suppress the rebellion, the first great victory! In just three days, the King of Chu retreated back to Jiangbei. It seems that it will take not many months to defeat these princes!"

...

"The Great Chu Palace Report"! The left general Xiaohunhou and the right general Li Yu led an army of 50,000 to fight against King Xiang Wu of Chu in the river in Danyang. Kill 50,000! The King of Chu retreated with hatred and never dared to invade Jiangnan again."

"Danyang Victory!"

"But it was said that the king of Chu and Li Yu led the army to the Danyang territory. They happened to meet the King of Chu crossing the river overnight and trying to go south.

Xiaohunhou seized the fighter plane and immediately attacked the Chu army halfway!

Twenty thousand cavalry rushed left and right, and 30,000 elite soldiers charged forward. The King of Chu was hit head-on, and tens of thousands of troops were defeated back to the river, and the ships sank, and countless casualties were killed and injured.

Tens of thousands of Chu troops were unable to escape, so they knelt on the riverside, were captured as prisoners, and cried [     www.xbqg5200.me] and regretted the invasion of the south."

On the same day, the "Da Chu Di Daily" was the first to get the news of the battle situation of this great victory and released it.

The details of the Danyang Army's battle will never be announced.

This is a military secret. Once it is known to other princes, they will definitely find ways to crack it.

The specific battle process was of course the editors of "Da Chu Dibao" imagined it out of thin air, trying their best to fabricate it, and even made up various small stories, how did the left general Xiaohunhou predict the enemy's initiative, and how did the right general Li Yu lead the way.

"The Great Chu Palace Newspaper! A witness of this battle, who records the course of this battle. I am Li Li, a disciple of the Prince Ping's Mansion, and I personally participated in this battle.

On the bank of the river, Xiaohunhou was brave and powerful, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, and a white horse and a handsome cavalry under his crotch. He took the lead with a horse and roared, and cut off the head of General Li Pan. The 50,000 Chu army was shocked, and the morale of the army collapsed, and fled in all directions."

Anyway, I won, blow whatever I want.

King Xiang Wu of Chu had no shame to refute. Even if the King of Chu denied it... it was not as large as the circulation of "Da Chu Di Daily" and spread throughout the world in one day.

Jinling City caused a sensation.

"That's great, Xiaohunhou, Li Yu defeated the King of Chu, and the King of Chu retreated to Jiangbei. Thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, only one King of Wu was left to rebel.

If Xiao Hunhou guards Jiangnan, Jinling City must be as solid as a god! The King of Wu will definitely not be able to attack."

"That's natural. Xiao Hunhou is a new generation of military masters. Even the Grand Marshal Li Rong was defeated by his hands. To fight against King Chu and King Wu, that's a little bit!"

All the clans and the people were surprised to grab the "Da Chu Mansion Newspaper" and took a look.

Taverns and teahouses are all crowds of people talking.

Just yesterday, people were panic and anxious because of the princes' rebellion. This good news came and the city was excited for a moment.

At least this fear faded quickly.

"This good news came too timely! The court and the people all need a great victory to calm people's hearts!"

When the young Fu Zhuang of the East Palace underestimated the enemy, he saw the "Da Chu Mansion News" and couldn't help but sigh, "Teacher Xiaohunhou, it's true that he can fight, not just talk about war.

Since ancient times, sages have been able to write books and establish a great scholars of the generation, and they can personally go on horseback to fight, but there are very few. Xiaohunhou made his words with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and made contributions to suppressing the rebellion of the princes. He is indeed a role model for us!

It’s a pity that I have studied the books of sages for decades and are proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, but I have achieved nothing yet. If I fail to succeed in literature and martial arts, I am ashamed of being the teacher of the prince!”

"Young Master Zhuang, don't be discouraged. You are the Young Master of the Crown Prince, and the future emperor's army!... We are waiting, but we don't even have an official position, and we are even more ashamed and ashamed!"

A group of clans sighed.

"It is better to practice it with your own heart than to sit and discuss the truth!"

"The court is recruiting soldiers and recruiting 50,000 new soldiers to prepare for battle. We are going to register?!"
