Chapter 36: Defeat and Peace Talks
The two teams at Yuling Pass quickly took action. Sang's team failed to launch a sneak attack and had already entered the stage of forced attack. Hundreds of thousands of troops were ready to attack day and night, and the soldiers at Yuling Pass were in a tough battle.
However, this passive situation was soon broken. Jiang Hanyang, the commander of Yuling Pass, led his troops out of the city overnight and killed 30,000 enemy soldiers with only 5,000 men. In addition to the two defeats in the war, the Sang army was left with only more than 100,000 people, some of whom were wounded and disabled, and their situation was worrying.
When the victory report was delivered, the whole court was excited. Qianhe Liyou also recorded Jiang Hanyang's military merit and issued an imperial decree to announce the defeat of Sang State, demonstrating the might of the Qianhe Dynasty's soldiers.
The Sang State was defeated, the area around the camp was desolate, the guards were listless, and the two countries once again fell into a stalemate.
However, this stalemate was soon broken. Under Qianhe Liyou's secret order, Jiang Hanyang sent out troops again. This time, it was not a sneak attack, but a full-scale army. The formation was designed to annihilate the enemy. The army of Sang was caught off guard and retreated.
Qianhe Liyou was very puzzled as to why the other side was so incompetent. They clearly took the initiative to start a war, but they had no fighting power at all. Even if Jiang Hanyang was powerful and even if her own strategy was appropriate, the other side was a regular army after all. No matter how weak they were, they should not have been beaten so easily. However, the news from the Anbu quickly dispelled her doubts. Although the emperor of Sang had the ambition to dominate the five countries, he was brave but not wise. He only knew how to be violent and brutal. Moreover, the court of Sang was dominated by treacherous ministers. The leader of this army was just a paper talker. When the real war started, he was arrogant, but later he was beaten in a panic, which resulted in such a miserable situation.
Much thunder but little rain is the best way to describe the war that was initiated by the Sang Kingdom. The Sang Kingdom's army, which was defeated and fled by Jiang Hanyang, became the laughing stock of the five major countries. In panic, the Sang Kingdom immediately sent an envoy to negotiate peace. The members of the envoy were of high status. In addition to the current Minister of Rites, there was also the third prince Sang Ziling. The third prince was not only the younger brother of the new emperor, but also a famous beauty in the Sang Kingdom. The intention of sending him as an envoy was self-evident.
When Qianhe Liyou saw this information, she just thought it was a little ridiculous. She couldn't help but think of the eleventh prince Sang Zixin who was treated as a pawn for testing. He is still chopping wood and carrying water in the palace. The Sang Kingdom has sent another prince, and this time he is sent here blatantly. Doesn't he think it is not embarrassing enough? Or does he plan to send the entire Sang Kingdom Palace? She doesn't mind accepting it, just to support a few more people. Maybe in the near future, her idea will really come true.
She is not a very big person, or to be more precise, she is a zombie. With thousands of years of skills, if she really has something, what can't she do? Immortality, the power of changing the world, what she has is what others dream of, but she has never done anything because of these, but just lived a secluded life, never stepping into the world unless necessary, so, I will not offend others if others do not offend me, but if someone insists on making trouble for her, don't blame her for participating in this game and indulging her playfulness occasionally.
"Your Majesty, you are here with bad intentions. Do you have any plans that require your cooperation?" The envoys of Sang State have arrived outside the imperial city. People all over the country know about the arrival of the Sang State envoys. Moreover, under the intentional publicity of the Sang State envoys, they also know that there is a noble prince in the envoys, and this prince is the emperor of Sang State who intends to send him for marriage. Everyone in the Qianhe Dynasty is talking about this matter, and there are all kinds of discussions. And she is also very curious about the emperor's thoughts. It is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beauty. I don't know how the emperor plans to deal with this beauty.
"How would you like to cooperate and I will give you this beauty?"
"I dare not accept this. He is a prince, but he is sent to marry you. How can you accept a small person like me? Your Majesty, please don't tease me." The prince, even if he is not a spy, is still a trouble. She is not worthy of it. She is living a happy life now, and does not want to have a trouble around her to give her a headache.
"This is not a joke. If you really like it, I will give it to you."
"Your Majesty, I am really not worthy of this. Why don't you ask Lord Li?" She really didn't want a prince, but she suddenly remembered that Li Yao didn't seem to be married yet. She was much older than her and was already in her thirties.
The eyes of the emperor and his minister fell on Li Yao, but Li Yao frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "I have already sworn to heaven that I will never marry another man in my life. Please grant my wish, Your Majesty."
Who is not frivolous when young? She had loved someone when she was young, but the person she loved was the one she should not love the most. But love is love, and although she couldn't get it, she would never fall in love with anyone else again. Therefore, she had already sworn that she would not marry any man in her life, and was prepared to be alone for the rest of her life.
"Oh, in that case, I won't force you. I'll leave the peace talks with Sang Kingdom to you two. As for the bottom line, you don't have to worry about it. I don't mind starting another war."
Qian Heliyou's tone was filled with murderous intent. Li Yao and Long Xizhao were both shocked and showed joy. However, Long Xizhao still asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the third prince of Sang Kingdom?"
She didn't dare to make the decision on the emperor's marriage.
"I don't mind having more men in my harem, but not everyone can enter my harem. I will make my own decision about the prince, and you can just take care of the other issues. You're welcome."
"Yes, we obey your order." As long as they don't have to solve this problem, other problems will not be a problem. With the emperor's backing, she is not Long Xizhao if she doesn't make Sang country bleed heavily during the peace talks.
After Long Xizhao and Li Yao left, Qianhe Liyou called Li Yao in again.
"Your Majesty, what do you want?"
"How's that male lover?"
"As you instructed, Young Master Mu is still doing some rough work and there is no problem." It was strange to say that Young Master Mu actually did the work of the servants without saying a word, and he did it very seriously, without even showing a hint of resentment.
"Go find him. I want to see him." She also knew that the little prince would not have any problems now, but she didn't know if there would be any problems after the third prince of Sang Kingdom came.
"Yes, I will go right away."
Feng Ying didn't know the prince's true identity, and she always felt a little strange in her heart. She also had a little pity for the little prince. However, the emperor's affairs were not something she could interfere in. She just needed to do her duty.
