Chapter 344: The peace talks failed, are you disappointed?
"Is Pagan the strongest among the seven nations?"
Yun Shu's eyes moved:
"Okay, then hit it."
General Weiyuan: “?”
Why did he feel that there was something wrong with Her Royal Highness' tone when she said this? ?
It must be an illusion, right?
Supporting Ningzhou and attacking Bagan is just a matter of time. What's the problem?
General Weiyuan hesitated for a moment, but put this strange feeling behind him without thinking too much.
After leaving Yunshu's tent, he began to make arrangements for the trip to Ningzhou.
……
Beijing.
Ever since the last urgent report from General Weiyuan was received, all the civil and military officials in the court, including Emperor Xuanwu, had been waiting for the news of the great victory in Yongzhou and the truce in Annan.
They thought that the two urgent war reports from 800 miles away should be within two or three days.
After all, if Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can make people soar to heaven, how can Annan remain stable?
Unexpectedly, ten days had passed in the blink of an eye, and no new battle report from Yongzhou had arrived.
However, news of an emergency at the border came back from Ningzhou!
And it was not just Ningzhou, Zhuzhou, Liangzhou and other places also had battle reports coming back one after another.
Although it has not reached the point of "emergency", everything has been deadlocked, and now a very dangerous balance is being maintained.
If a third party force intervenes at this time, this balance will be broken immediately!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the court became extremely tense.
When they first heard about the war between the seven countries, the ministers who had jumped out to criticize Yun Shu and were extremely pessimistic about the war could not help but want to bring up the old matter again.
"Your Majesty, the Ningzhou border is in danger now, and other states are unable to spare any extra troops to help.
There has been no news from the most promising Yongzhou, and the situation can no longer be delayed!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! If Ningzhou is lost, there will be no chance of recovery!"
“In the final analysis, there is not much hatred between Tiansheng and those seven countries. Most of the hatred is just misunderstanding!
A truce and peace talks now is the most beneficial approach for Tiansheng."
"His Majesty……"
"enough!"
Emperor Xuanwu sat high on the dragon throne, and every time he heard his ministers urging him to negotiate peace, his expression would become uglier.
Until now, he couldn't listen any more:
"Talk about peace, talk about peace, all you do all day long is talk about peace!
As a great country, do we have to bow our heads and make amends to those small countries that have disturbed our borders in the past, killed our people, and are now teaming up to try to invade our Tiansheng territory? "
"Negotiation? How to negotiate? Cede territory or pay compensation? Or perhaps a marriage?"
He slapped the armrest of the dragon throne with a heavy palm, and Emperor Xuanwu wanted to poke his fingers directly into those people's faces:
"Who are we going to ask to marry? You guys?"
"Your Majesty, calm down! We have no such intention!"
Those officials who were clamoring for peace talks were still unwilling to give up:
"What I mean is that the war between the seven countries was originally a misunderstanding. If we can send an envoy to explain it clearly..."
"Envoy?"
Emperor Xuanwu curled his lips sarcastically:
"Then in your opinion, who is the most suitable envoy?"
"This..." Of course it was Her Royal Highness. After all, it was Her Royal Highness who first proposed to go to war with Japan, and it was also Her Royal Highness who spoke out at the New Year's Eve banquet and shocked the envoys of various countries.
The most important thing is that Her Royal Highness is now in Yongzhou.
Her appearance was extremely appropriate in every way.
The only thing that is inappropriate is... they dare not say it.
After all, this will do more harm than good to Her Majesty the Crown Princess.
His Majesty values Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess so much. If they tell him, it would probably anger His Majesty.
The noisy court finally had a moment of silence.
The officials who were strongly advocating for peace were still thinking quickly about how to speak tactfully.
The courier who brought the urgent war report from 800 miles away ran into the Xuanzheng Hall at this moment.
"Report! Great victory in Yongzhou! King Annan handed in a letter of surrender, willing to return to Tiansheng!"
what? !
Not a truce, not peace talks, but direct surrender!!
No wonder it took so many extra days!
The whole court was shocked. Prime Minister Liu reacted quickly and congratulated Emperor Xuanwu:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Tiansheng's territory has expanded a big step southwards!"
"Hahaha, I knew it. If my princess doesn't take action, it's fine. But once she does, it will definitely be extraordinary!"
All the anger he had just felt because of those ministers clamoring for peace talks was now gone.
Emperor Xuanwu looked down at the ministers with ugly faces and sneered:
"Why do you look like this, my dear ministers?
What, are you disappointed that the peace talks failed? "
"We dare not! We are just... just too surprised..."
Several ministers who were stared at by Emperor Xuanwu broke out in cold sweat.
Fortunately, Emperor Xuanwu was in a very happy mood at the moment and was even too lazy to deal with them.
After making that sarcastic remark, he immediately asked someone to submit the battle report.
The first thing I read, of course, was the letter of surrender written by the King of Annan himself.
His words were quite sincere, but he looked completely frightened.
The Emperor Xuanwu's lips were filled with joy even when he saw the King of Annan requesting to change his identity and help Tiansheng continue to manage "Annan Province".
At most, there is just a hint of sarcasm in it.
But then, he saw the sincere report from General Weiyuan.
Xiaowu and General Weiyuan indeed played a great role in Tiansheng's victory in this battle.
But...the Annan coach named You Yu really doesn't make people feel much sense of accomplishment!
They surrendered decisively after defending the city for less than an incense stick of time. What the hell is this?
Where is blood? Where is backbone?
Were they all fed to the dogs by this person?
Fortunately, this person is not a general of his Tiansheng, otherwise...
Emperor Xuanwu snorted coldly. After reading the entire report, it was time to read the letter Xiaowu wrote to him.
After that brat ran off to Yongzhou, he seemed to have forgotten about his father, the Emperor. It has been such a long time since he remembered to write a letter back.
At least he still has some conscience.
Emperor Xuanwu was full of pride in his heart, but as he unfolded the letter paper,
The corner of his mouth had just lowered its arc, but then it couldn't help but rise again -
[Hello, Father! I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much.
The conditions in the Yongzhou military camp are not good, but I have adapted well to it. Every day I learn various military formations and tactical arrangements with General Weiyuan and others, which I find very interesting.
Facts have proved that your decision to let me, your son, go to Yongzhou in person was indeed wise and correct!
I have indeed learned a lot of things that I would never learn if I stayed in the capital. 】
