Chapter 74 (1/2)
Chen Qing Xu carefully watched Chang Geng’s face and said, “I heard that Your Highness has been on a non-stop journey First went south to Jiangbei to rectify the cruel officials and traitors along the canal, then returned to the capital to instruct the Ministry of Housing and the Ling Shu Institute, then rushed to the northwest before the New Year no matter the cost You have not rested, yet you seee When she left the capital, Chang Geng’s Bone of Impurity was almost beyond control She assumed that as he had been exhausted both physically andwhat stage would he be in When she received the Lin Yuan wooden bird, Chen Qing Xu had been worried about seeing that o Geng’s face was ined The state of ‘even if the heaven falls, I a’s body
It was al while living a siilist world
But there seemed to be another difference: he did not appear to be bland to the extreme as before, he now carried a hint of s a few errands, it isn’tsaid indifferently “It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but in truth, I don’t think it’s necessarily theYou see, now the whole dynasty has reached the point of breaking Even if I were to do athat could happen is that the Westerners will surround the capital once again, there are no worse outcoentlemen in the court, they would not blahness’s heart truly…shi+nes brighter near the light, you have received parts of the Marquis’s passed down experiences” Chen Qing Xu obscurely pulled out Gu Yun, who never took anything to heart even once Then, as she carefully assessed it, she felt that there was so’s words, she said, “Yes So the nation, it ispath after prosperity”
“That does not affectsaid to her with a so He had to rest as soon as possible If he no longer fights in wars, he would not stay in the Black Iron Camp for many years If he left, I would follow hi ti to Turned out, the thing that had covered thousands of </e!
low of so Xu did not knoord to say for a tis that went beyond the norhtly like herself spending all her time in thetowards her?
Was her naturally cold face too lethal?
…Or perhaps, although General Gu’s upper beam was incorrect, his lower beam was not at all distorted, and the strictness of his rules in the ar Geng’s careless reh it aroused a sorrowful e her a tranquilizing pill
Although the Northwest Frontier was far fro</e attitudes in the court could still be heard
Aside fro Xu also had some worries that he would sink into power in the future It was not that she did not trust in Chang Geng’s character, but the Bone of Impurity would always remain a dark cloud that could not be dispersed For three to five years, he could still ht years? Would power and poison speed up the erosion of histhe Lin Yuan wooden ereat poould be able to stop him?
It was not until she heard this that she felt a little relieved Noas the Marquis was alive and well, there would always be someone in the world who could pull hi Xu was solad that Lin Yuan e vote, and was finally handed over to Chang Geng Otherwise, Great Liang would not be able to have room to take a breath in a short half year period
This breath finally slowly accumulated on New Year’s Eve into the force that sed mountains and rivers — the Black Iron Ca a surprise attack on the Western Regions coalition garrison
The Western Regions Coalition Ared in a back and forth battle with each other For a long time, they had not received any supplies froood The broken ar around, their allies were only fools who could not be described by words, ego could not count on it at all They already had the intention to withdraw
On the same day, the coalition of the sixteen countries received a scolding report, saying that Black Iron Cauard down
The guards were loitering, the coether and concentrating on quarreling, the whole station was dim, and the sudden appearance of black crows truly felt like they fell from the sky
Many people would like to rush into battle without putting on their pants and be swept away by the Black Iron Ca across fallen leaves
There was a sood When quickly calculating their own strength that had no foundation, the king and the commander-in-chief made a decision in time to first of all lead the crowd to run
Their run was like a signal The whole coalition ar was out of control, Black Eagles poured a large amount of copied letters from the sky and scattered them all over like paper money Before that, several small western countries had written some personal letters in an attempt to ally with Gu Yun in secret At this time, they were mass reprinted by the Marquis of Order and were scattered in the air Co bunch, it appeared to be particularly shocking
Before the small Western countries could swear their oaths to their allies in a desperatethe roar of le ordered several s Mandarin and the coions, he declared bluntly, “When you have surrendered, you will disarm yourself and withdraw to one side If the unconscious weapons were to hurt the ally by mistake, the Black Iron Camp will not take responsibility!”
The coalition forces in the Western Regions blew up Who would have the time to stop and read and analyze the contents on the paper carefully? A quick glance at the beginning and the end revealed the nauseating pronunciation plus the lenient attitude — they had regarded this as evidence and already believed it for eighty to ninety percent
The contingents of all the countries in the Western Regions were in disorder With strong enemies outside and traitors inside, no one they ran into appeared to be the good guys At present, regardless of ally or eneht with one another
It was the first day of the eighth year of Long An, leaving the old to welcome the new
The Black Iron Camp that had been dormant and retreated, after the return of their cos which had been suppressed for half a year The iron sword roared ard, like cutting through vegetable, sweeping across the western region coalition garrison
The coalition troops were defeated and fled in all directions in a short tiht, they could witness the effectiveness in cohteen tribes with thirty Heavy Arroup of reions were defeated and retreated The Black Iron Cadom, the head of the 16-nation coalition forces
At the same time, the report was sent to the center of wounded soldiers inside the gate
This was the first real news of victory of Great Liang since half of the country was besieged The whole center was boiling up Whether it was a group of wounded Northwest soldier lacking ars, or decent attendants of one another and crying together
Chang Geng heavily let out a sigh of relief He wanted to open his et ready to return to the capital at once, but no one seeave a handkerchief to Chen Qing Xu, as shedding tears in silence next to hi for this day A building could collapse in the wind and rain, however, as long as the rock beam and pillar re, there would always be a day where they could tidy up the ruined nation
On the fourth day of the new year, the coalition troops in the Western Regions retreated to the entrance of the Silk Road The news of their whereabouts were leaked by the Han slaves they captured and were ambushed by the people of Lou Lan When the coalition troops in the Western Regions invaded Great Liang, they once occupied Lou Lan, killed their old king, and forced the young drunkard prince to exile This tieance
At this point, the coalition forces have suffered heavy losses and have been defeated
On the fifth day, the Black Iron Camp recovered twenty-seven passes on the Silk Road and directly attacked the forners who had not yet had time to evacuate were captured
Shen Yi ran to the camp tent and reported, “Grand Marshal, the tortoises in the Western Regions had shrunk their necks back, handed over a letter for a peace treaty, fearing that they would not be able to explain to their Western parents They wanted to exchange the Han people they had taken for prisoners You see…”
Gu Yun instantly agreed: “Yes!”
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the Marshal’s tent, the line “Marshal please think carefully” came and went one after another
Shen Yi was shocked: “Marshal, the war report have not been sent to the court yet There arethese prisoners To arbitrarily deal with theht?”
