Li Yu only showed some resistance at the beginning.

But soon, the calmness that a mature woman should have gradually emerged.

As Zhao Hao fed it mouthful by mouthful, it gladly accepted it.

Not only that, he also teased Zhao Hao in return.

However, when Zhao Hao was really going to take action, she retreated quickly like a kitten.

Her watery eyes looked at Zhao Hao pleadingly, preventing Zhao Hao from going any further.

It was not until after noon that the princess finally got out of bed, took a hot bath, changed into new clothes prepared by Zhao Hao, got on the carriage and slowly left the villa.

As she left, a piece of news began to spread throughout the imperial capital.

As the Three Kingdoms War continued, the Southern Chu front achieved an incredibly shocking victory.

After Nan Chu captured Qingyun at lightning speed, it quickly advanced and arrived at the city of Jianning.

This is a strong pass and also the real first line of defense for Dagan.

It can also be said to be the southern gateway of Dagan.

Once Jianning City is lost, the entire southern gateway will be wide open.

There is no strategic location to defend and several important cities may be attacked at any time.

Originally, Da Gan's side would definitely not go into battle and would defend the enemy with all their might.

Da Gan also dispatched General Xiao Chuyun, who had just defeated the barbarians in Mubei City last year, to replace the original defender Yu Ping.

However, before Xiao Chuyun arrived in Jianning City, Yu Ping wanted to grab the first merit.

He actually wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Southern Chu army was not yet firmly established and defeat the enemy outside the city.

He ambushed 20,000 troops in the mountains on both sides of Jianning City, intending to wait until the Southern Chu army arrived at Jianning City, then take the initiative to attack and surround it on three sides.

But it was this action that plunged Jianning City into irretrievable destruction.

The Southern Chu army did come, but they only had 5,000 baits and arrived at the city of Jianning.

The 20,000 troops that Yu Ping had ambushed came out together, and Yu Ping also personally led 10,000 troops out of the city to attack from three sides.

But at this moment, another 25,000 troops from Nan Chu also rushed out.

The Dagan army was caught off guard, and of the 30,000 soldiers in total, more than 20,000 were killed.

The defending general Yu Ping fled back to Jianning City with only 8,000 soldiers.

After this battle, the number of defenders in Jianning City was less than 15,000 at most.

It can be said that the former stronghold has turned into a piece of fat meat that Nan Chu can eat whenever he wants.

When this news came out, everyone was shocked instantly.

In the palace, the Queen of Shu immediately summoned all the important officials to discuss the news.

Because the situation on the battlefield is not only important to the three warring parties, but also to the Kingdom of Shu.

The Shu Kingdom Empress swept her beautiful eyes over the crowd and asked, "Tell me, what is this news about?"

"Is it true or false?"

Prime Minister Pei Zhu said: "Your Majesty, the source of this news has not been determined yet, and we don't know where it came from."

"Our scouts haven't reported this news yet."

The Empress of Shu's eyes flashed, and she asked, "Why didn't the scouts report back?"

"If I remember correctly, shouldn't the scouts report back every three days?"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the Left General Liao Sheng.

Liao Sheng quickly said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed reported every three days, but there will be special circumstances."

“There are delays.”

"However, our scouts have not been delayed so far. The latest news was sent back two days ago."

"The news shows that the Wu Kingdom is advancing steadily and has not yet engaged in a large-scale battle with the Dagan army."

"As for the Nanchu side..."

"Because the distance is too far, news can only be transmitted once every ten days."

"So far, no scouts have reported that Dagan's troops were defeated in Jianning City."

The Empress of Shu frowned and asked, "How long will it take for the next news from Nanchu to be transmitted back?"

Liao Sheng said: "It will take another three days to report back to Your Majesty."

The Empress of Shu nodded: "You all know how important this news is even without me telling you."

"Once Da Gan loses Jianning City, it will have a huge impact on the entire war situation."

"Because a breakthrough in Southern Chu will also benefit the State of Wu."

"We will face great pressure if we fight on two fronts."

"When that time comes, my Shu Kingdom can no longer sit on the mountain and watch the tiger."

"So, confirm the truth of this news to me immediately."

“And there’s a source!”

All the ministers said yes.

…

At Xiangfeng Villa, King Laoying also received the news.

He immediately ordered the waiter, "Mobilize all your connections and send out all your manpower to confirm the truth of the news as soon as possible."

"If this is true, then this battle will bring a great victory for the coalition forces of our two countries."

"The Shu Kingdom will no longer be able to sit back and reap the benefits."

"There is no other option except to join our side and reap the benefits of the war!"

As he spoke, Prince Ying was so excited that he could hardly suppress it.

Because that was their previous strategic vision.

The two countries should first face Dagan and try to gain a big advantage. Even if they don't get the advantage, delaying it will allow Shu to see Dagan's true combat power.

Let the Shu Kingdom be afraid of it.

In the end, they will choose to join the coalition forces.

Give Da Gan a fatal blow.

also.

The relationship between Wu and Shu was originally one of you in me and me in you.

Over the years, in order to confront and defend against the Great War, the national policy of the two countries has been to unite.
