At the same time, the eldest prince and General Chen, father and son, also launched an attack on Canglan. It only took half a month.

The Great Wei occupied four cities of Canglan.

The army did not stop and continued to advance.

The prince led the palace's secret guards to make bombs non-stop behind the scenes. They became more and more proficient in the craft and were able to supply the needs of the four armies on the front line.

By the time Yu Yuanzheng had controlled the Tianxi in several cities and vaccinated all the people who needed to be vaccinated, the Great Wei had already captured eight cities in Canglan.

Even Prince Liu captured two cities.

Cao Jinyu and Zhao Jinyu were forced by Liu Yunshu to stay in the Nanshu military camp to help.

At that time, the four of them were divided into three groups and fled in different directions. The two secret guards did not die, but were also forced to jump off the cliff.

Both of them were highly skilled warriors, and as they fell, they used the friction between their swords and the mountain wall to slow down their falling speed, and then grabbed the branches of the trees growing on the mountain wall. After doing this several times, they stopped before hitting the ground.

When they arrived at the agreed place, they heard news about Qi Zi, who was in the Nanshu camp, and the two of them came to him.

The four of them entered Liu Yunshu's elite camp together and followed Liu Yunshu into battle.

Liu Yunshu insisted on competing with Cao Jinyu to see who had killed more people.

If Cao Jinyu had killed fewer people than she had, she would not acknowledge their bet.

Jie Cao Jinyu opened fire at full power, killing the enemy and forcing them to retreat step by step.

The two chased each other on the battlefield, and when they captured Canglan's Yunwu City, neither of them could remember how many people they had killed.

Prince Liu judged the game and it ended in a draw.

Liu Yunshu was not convinced and challenged Cao Jinyu to a duel.

Zhao Jinyu looked at the two bickering lovers and began to miss his fiancée.

The two of them and Prince Liu said goodbye, but the iron box was still in their hands and had to be sent back to the capital.

When Liu Yunshu learned that they were going to kill her, she had no choice but to let them go. She asked to go with them and she wanted to find Dr. Zeng.

Then Liu Yunshu led a hundred Southern Shu soldiers to escort them back to the capital of Wei.

Cao Jinyu wished she could go with him as the iron box would be safer.

The cities were occupied one after another. It was not easy for Emperor Canglan to be cured by the imperial physician and he was able to speak again. Jie Yu was so angry that he could not speak clearly.

At the morning court session, Crown Prince Zhu threw the battle report that was delivered on the same day to the ministers standing in the front row.

The ministers didn't even need to read it, they all knew what it contained.

"Now my Canglan is in danger. If we cannot stop the enemy's attack, within three months, my Canglan will no longer exist. Everyone, tell me, what should we do?" Prince Zhu was so gloomy that he wanted to kill someone.

None of the court officials dared to be the first to speak out and express their opinions.

If Canglan were to destroy his country, what would happen to these court officials? Would the Wei Kingdom destroy them all?

Everyone is living in fear these days.

"Prime Minister, you speak first." Seeing that no one spoke, Prince Zhu directly called out the name.

“Your Highness, please seek peace.

If you don't ask for peace, all the soldiers of Canglan will die on the battlefield.

They are all my Canglan's great men, we cannot let them be sacrificed again.

Behind every soldier is a commoner. If this continues, the common people will revolt.

Our military supplies are no longer sufficient and the fallen soldiers are not comforted.

There are still so many captured soldiers who need to be redeemed. Canglan is on the brink of life and death."

After the old prime minister finished speaking, he knelt on the ground.

With his start, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down.

They all shouted, "Your Highness, please ask for peace."

Including several princes.

Never before had we been so united.

It reappeared in the last hundred years.

Prince Zhu took a deep breath, raised his head and closed his eyes. When he lowered his head, there was a trace of water on his painful face.

“Wow…”

Some of the court officials were already sobbing.

With the first one, there will be the second one.

In the end, the whole court was filled with crying.

In a short period of time, ten cities were lost, and they were relatively prosperous cities.

Canglan’s territory is vast, but its resources are not abundant, and crops cannot grow in many places.

A desert with no grass growing on it is useless no matter how vast it is.

The ten cities lost accounted for 20% of the national treasury revenue.

Emperor Canglan, who was carried and sat on the dragon throne, also shed tears.

"Father, you have seen that I have no choice but to follow the will of the people." Prince Zhu was full of passion, but was beaten by the Wei Dynasty so hard that he no longer had any ambition.

He thought that after his father fell and he took over, he could flex his muscles and force Wei to surrender and become a vassal state of Canglan.

Jie was beaten by Wei without any chance to fight back and was forced to surrender.

None of his evil schemes could stop the progress of the Wei Dynasty.

"Surrender...surrender...surrender..." Emperor Canglan squeezed out two words with difficulty.

This is agreed.

The news quickly spread throughout the capital of Canglan.

After returning to Canglan, the former third old lady of the Rong Palace smashed everything that could be smashed in the hall of the mansion.

"Damn Shangguan family. I've sacrificed my whole life, and this is what I got in return?" Zhu Jingshu cursed while smashing things.

"Mother, things have come to this point. It's useless for you to be angry." Zhu Hongzhe advised calmly with an expressionless face.

He abandoned his wife and children and came to Canglan to fight for the title of Prince.

The title of prince was given to them, but as soon as the Wei Dynasty launched a counterattack, the mother and son were confined to the mansion and were not allowed to go in or out.

Now Canglan was defeated again like a hundred years ago, and the emperor uncle could no longer care about him.

One can imagine what the future holds for them and their son.

Now they, mother and son, have become stray dogs. They cannot go back to Wei, and Canglan cannot tolerate them.

But there is no room for maneuver.

At this time, he didn't know where to go. He was discouraged and even on the verge of despair.

"Zhe'er, follow your mother into the palace to see the emperor. We can't be locked up like this forever.

Canglan was defeated in the battle, but my loyalty and devotion to Canglan have never been false.

We must ask your uncle for an imperial decree to allow us to settle down in Canglan."

Zhu Jingshu was afraid that once the old emperor died one day, no one would be able to protect them and their son.

——

When Shangguan Ziqi wanted to move forward again, he received a letter of surrender delivered personally by the enemy general, which was written by Prince Canglan himself.

He had been waiting for this day.

The Great Wei had already conquered eight cities in Canglan, which was enough for negotiation.

The emperor had already issued him an imperial decree that as long as the enemy surrendered, he would not have to advance any further.

The land in Canglan is not fertile, so it is useless to come here. Relief is still needed when natural disasters occur.

At that time, only the three provinces with iron mines will be needed, and Canglan will become a vassal state of Wei and pay tribute every year.

Moreover, the military supplies on the Wei side were also struggling to meet demand, and could not support him to continue advancing.

At the same time, Prince Liu of Southern Shu also received a letter of surrender.

By the end of December, Yu Yuanzheng had finally taken control of the Tianxi in several cities, and there were no more new arrivals.

Those who were infected with Tianxi and survived have all recovered.

The people all knew that it was the great Wei doctor Zeng who came up with a way to prevent Tianji and saved them.

At that time, the people of Canglan arranged for the spread of Tianxi patients among the people, mainly in the two counties under Luoan City.

Once the disease was under control in those two counties, it could not spread any further.

In Jinjiang City and Jinhe City behind, officials controlled the situation well and there were only a small number of infections.

Shangguan Ziqi told her the news of receiving the letter of surrender and asked her to go to Rongbei City to celebrate the New Year with him.

Yu Yuanzheng felt sorry to think that she couldn’t spend the New Year with her children again.

But it’s too late to return to Beijing now.

I had no choice but to accept my husband's invitation and go to Rongbei City.

When she returned to Luoan City again, she came to Lord Zhao's house.

"Great Doctor Zeng." Hua Xiangling, who had recovered from her injuries, came out happily to greet them.

She didn't know her cousin Yuan Zheng's wife, and she knew that she went out as a miracle doctor, so she didn't want to reveal her cousin's wife's identity.

During the days of recuperation, she asked the guards to find out what Yuan Zheng's cousin was doing at any time.

She knew that her cousin's wife would come today, so she put some rouge on her face to make it look rosy so as not to worry her cousin's wife.

"Xianxiao, are you feeling okay?" Seeing that she was dressed like a ball, Yu Yuanzheng knew that she was afraid of the cold.

Those who have been seriously injured and lost too much blood are afraid of the cold.

It takes time to recover.
