Chapter 897 The Western Regions and Fengtian Go to War
Xingyi clenched his hands until his joints turned white.
The most painful thing is when making a choice.
"I don't know...how to tell Bei Ning that Bei Ning is the illegitimate daughter of the emperor of Southern Xinjiang. She has lived a life of dependence on others all her life. If she sends her child to Dayu..."
Chaoyang sighed, hugged the child and comforted him.
She felt distressed just looking at this little girl.
How can any parent be willing to bear such a big child...
This is the meat that fell from Bei Ning’s body.
"Bei Ning, you must tell the truth. Ning He and Mu Zheyu have been separated for so many years. You can imagine the pain between mother and son. If Bei Ning doesn't agree, maybe you can think of other ways." Chaoyang asked.
Star shift is decided by oneself.
"I will make it clear to her." Xingyi raised his hand to cover his forehead.
"Put the child with me first. You can make a decision as soon as possible." Chaoyang sighed and spoke again. "Let Bei Ning come to me in person."
"good……"
…
Dayu, the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, the Western Regions killed the envoys of the Angels, but released my envoys from Dayu back. This is a sign of goodwill. We..." The minister did not dare to say more.
"Your Majesty, the military strength in the Western Region is strong, we...can form an alliance with them first and get rid of Fengtian...and then both sides suffer?"
Yin Cheng's eyes darkened. "Fengtian and Dayu are dead. The ruler of the Western Regions is not the emperor, but the owner of Anmei Tower. It is still unknown what the owner of Anmei Tower wants. If Fengtian dies,
, can Dayu survive on his own?"
The ministers did not dare to speak.
Yin Cheng rubbed his eyebrows and spoke in a deep voice. "Let's wait and see what happens. As long as the Western Region does not take the initiative to provoke Dayu, Dayu will not send troops yet."
If Fengtian and Da Yu work together to fight against the Western Regions, the Western Regions may not be able to bear it.
But the Western Regions were so confident in sending troops to Fengtian because they calculated that Dayu was watching from the other side and wanted to reap the benefits.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Fengtian has sent a letter, please read it."
Xiao Junze had someone send a letter.
Yin Cheng took the letter and took a look at it.
Xiao Junze also wanted him to wait and see what happens. When Fengtian and the Western Regions officially start war, Dayu will take action from behind.
Caught the Western Regions off guard.
"Ha..." Yin Cheng sneered, Xiao Junze was so naive.
Why do you trust him to be obedient?
"Your Majesty..." Beside him, the eunuch spoke nervously.
"Send the order, the border troops will be on guard and ready to fight at any time." Yin Cheng knew very well that the Western Region was much more dangerous than Fengtian.
The war with Anmei Tower will definitely be a long-term war.
"Your Majesty, if Fengtian cannot hold on, shall we take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames..." Some ministers wanted to know what Yin Cheng meant.
"Destroy Fengtian first?" Yin Cheng knew that he, a man of civil and military power, had an eye for the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, only by destroying Fengtian and taking advantage of the damage to the troops in the Western Regions to counterattack can we finally unify the world."
"Yes, Your Majesty! Don't miss this opportunity."
Yin Cheng looked at everyone with deep eyes and spoke slowly for a long time. "Since all my dear friends wish this, as long as the Western Region does not take the initiative to provoke, I, Dayu, will wait and see what happens and take the opportunity to strengthen our troops."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
…
Western Region, military camp.
"General, there is a letter from Dayu."
Yu Chiqi reached out his hand to take the letter and sneered.
Dayu wants to reap the benefits?
"Tell the military advisor that the Western Regions can concentrate their forces to start a war against Fengtian." Dayu will not send troops for the time being.
"The military advisor is right. Dayu wants the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind, waiting for both us and Fengtian to suffer losses."
"In that case, let's get rid of Fengtian first, and then get rid of Da Yu, step by step." Yu Chiqi sneered.
"The military advisor wants you to go to the camp."
Tonight, the Western Region will start a war against Fengtian.
The closest checkpoint to the border land is the border town of Fengtian.
Mu Jingyan garrison.
This is the first battle for the Western Region Army.
If this battle is a great victory, it will destroy Fengtian's legend of the God of War.
The morale of the Western Region will definitely rise sharply, and they will be invincible along the way.
…
Fengtian, border town.
Mu Jingyan stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. "If the Western Regions Cavalry goes straight to the border town, it will take three days at the earliest."
"General! The iron cavalry of the Western Regions is divided into two groups, and a hundred thousand troops are coming towards us!" Xinbing came to report.
Mu Jingyan looked solemn.
One hundred thousand troops.
There are currently 80,000 heavy troops in the border city, and they are facing off against 100,000 Western Region cavalry. Even he has no idea of the chance of victory...
Back then, he had combat experience with heavy troops from the Western Regions. Although the soldiers and horses from the Western Regions traveled long distances, there were many people in the army who were not afraid of death, so it would be very difficult.
"Are you worried?" Shen Qingzhou walked up to the city wall and asked.
"What are your chances of winning?" Mu Jingyan looked at Shen Qingzhou.
He wanted to find some confidence from Shen Qingzhou.
Shen Qingzhou looked at Mu Jingyan quietly and smiled. "As long as I am here, we will win."
"Tell the truth." Mu Jingyan frowned and asked Shen Qingzhou to speak calmly.
"Have I ever lied to you?" Shen Qingzhou said calmly. "Although you often lie to me."
"Are you serious?" Mu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief.
He believed in Shen Qingzhou and seemed to feel particularly at ease when he was around.
Shen Qingzhou looked outside the pass. "This battle is about your life and mine. If we win, we will live. If we lose, we will die here."
Borders cannot be lost.
If it is lost, Fengtian will be in danger.
"Then we will fight to the death." Mu Jingyan smiled.
Shen Qingzhou said nothing, his palms were slightly sweaty.
In fact... he doesn't have any confidence in his heart.
But he can't say he has no bottom line.
He wanted to make Mu Jingyan feel at ease.
…
Fengtian, Imperial Study Room.
"Troops have been sent to the Western Regions." Mu Huaichen walked into the imperial study with a solemn and flustered face. "The troops were divided into two groups. One hundred thousand men were stationed, and one hundred thousand men rushed to the border town."
"General Mu Jingyan is guarding the border town, so you can rest assured." Other ministers reassured.
Mu Huaichen shook his head. "There are only 80,000 soldiers and horses in the border town, most of them are civilians in the border town. The regular army is 30,000, and my uncle gave all of them to Zhe Yu..."
Xiao Junze's face was also very solemn. This battle was of great importance.
Jiayuguan was saved, but Fengtian had lost tens of thousands of horses.
If the border city cannot be saved, although it can still be retreated to the inner city, morale will definitely be greatly reduced.
The Western Region will be even more unscrupulous.
"In this battle, ensuring timely replenishment of food, grass and medicine can only be left to General Mu Jingyan." Xiao Junze looked at the memorial in his hand and sighed.
After a long silence, Xiao Junze spoke again. "What do you think of this battle?"
"The general has experienced hundreds of battles and is in his prime. I, Fengtian, will win this battle!"
"Although the hidden dangers in Jiangnan have been eliminated, due to the political change, many wealthy businessmen and nobles are unwilling to spit out the food in their hands, obviously planning to protest."
Xiao Junze favored women and launched new policies, which affected the interests of too many people.
The wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River had complaints in their hearts, and in protest, they seized all the food and grass and wanted to cut off the court's food and grass supply, forcing Xiao Junze to bow his head.
If you want to fight a good war, you can only end this coup first.
In order to meet the requirements of these wealthy businessmen.
Xiao Junze snorted coldly and his eyes darkened. "Ask Shen Yunrou to go to Jiangnan and give her seven days. The food and grass issue must be resolved."
This batch of food and grass was sent to Mu Jingyan. Even if Xiao Junze didn't say it, Shen Yunrou would solve it as soon as possible.
"Master Shen Qingzhou is in the border town. Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you can rest assured." A confidant of Shen Qingzhou spoke quickly.
With Shen Qingzhou here, everyone's hearts seemed to be temporarily put back in their stomachs.
"I'm afraid... Dayu will not send troops." What Mu Huaichen was most worried about was that Dayu refused to send troops at the end of the war, reaping the benefits and even adding insult to injury to Fengtian.
