Chapter 220: The Eternal Empress, 1V4 Shura Field 58
The subordinate shook his head and said.
"Neither. The one leading the troops is the current empress of Qianqiu Kingdom."
The coach breathed a sigh of relief.
Jingchuan Tang and Feng Zhuo, one is brave and good at fighting, and the other is very smart and almost a demon. Not only does he not want to provoke them, but it is estimated that no one in the four countries of the world wants to face the two of them head-on.
Of course, except Moxi.
It’s a pity that Mo Xi is already dead.
………
With contempt for Quan Jiu, the Zhou Kingdom and the Qianqiu Kingdom faced off head-on.
In the first battle, all 80,000 Zhou soldiers were captured.
Quan Jiu, wearing men's clothes and with his hair tied up, sat in the commander's tent, arranging the itinerary for today and tomorrow in an indifferent tone.
Feng Zhuo and Jing Chuantang looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Her reaction was so abnormal.
She eats on time, sleeps on time, and has a regular schedule. She looks like nothing is wrong. The only change is that there is less spirit in her eyes.
In the past, Quan Jiu was always nonchalant even when he was sitting on the dragon throne. He would cross his legs and doze off in front of all the civil and military officials, always looking nonchalant.
But now, she was as calm as an outsider, planning every move precisely. This 80,000-strong army was the result of her hard work over the past few days.
"Your Majesty, it's time to rest."
Feng Zhuo reminded.
Quan Jiu glanced at the night outside the tent, stopped writing and stood up.
"It's so late?"
She was so focused that she forgot to pay attention to the time.
"Then go to bed."
She didn't even need anyone to persuade her and she decided to go to bed.
Jing Chuantang frowned, and as she passed by him, he grabbed her wrist.
"Ajiu..."
Quan Jiu raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Jing Chuantang looked at her silently, unable to say a word.
It seems there is nothing much to say.
She didn't cry or make a fuss, didn't go on a hunger strike, didn't commit suicide, and even took the initiative to communicate with him when she encountered military difficulties...
But he just felt that there was an extra layer of alienation and indifference about her.
"Since everything is fine, I'll go to bed first."
Quan Jiu rubbed his sore brow.
Three months later.
The Zhou army was defeated again, and the first city on the border was successfully captured by Qianqiu Kingdom. The reputation of the empress's ferocity gradually spread throughout the country.
However, this is just the beginning, and Quan Jiu has no intention of stopping.
Almost every half a month, the military flag of Qianqiu Kingdom would be hoisted over a new Zhou Kingdom city. The red flag fluttered in the wind in the morning light, and the territory of Qianqiu Kingdom expanded inch by inch.
The other three countries' people finally realized that Quan Jiu's purpose was not just to "impose a minor punishment", but to annex the entire Zhou Kingdom.
Now, the State of Liang could no longer sit still.
If the Zhou Kingdom, as the leader, was destroyed, then wouldn’t he, as the eternal second-in-command, be in imminent danger?
Thinking of the child, Liang Rushi forced himself to calm down.
Fortunately, fortunately, he still has the child as a leverage...
After October.
It has been nearly a year since Mo Xi disappeared.
While the war between Zhou and Qianqiu continued, a grand scene appeared in Yong.
The peach blossoms in Yong State are in bloom.
It is obvious that the water quality and soil do not meet the requirements for growing peach blossoms, but strangely, there really is a ten-mile peach blossom forest in the imperial city of Yong.
When Quan Jiu heard the news, she was writing a victory report. She paused with her ink pen, leaving a crooked diagonal mark on the white and clean paper.
"I don't know who is so capable as to actually plant peach trees all over Yong State."
Many soldiers in the army were very interested in this gossip and talked about it.
Because of the relationship between Mo Xi and Quan Jiu, the relationship between the two countries has become much closer. Even after Mo Xi's death, the new person in power did not attack Qianqiu Kingdom, but instead frequently showed goodwill.
Quan Jiu inexplicably recalled that day when, in the forest full of dancing peach blossoms, the cold and aloof young man was looking at her with a smile.
"Once the Battle of Changhuaipo is over, I will cease fighting. However, I want my sister to agree to one condition: every year at this time, you must accompany me here to appreciate the flowers..."
The peach blossoms are still as bright as before, but the person who made the promise is no longer here.
………
On the day Zhou Kingdom officially surrendered, the weather gradually warmed up.
The wild geese that had originally flown south returned north, and the Qianqiu Imperial City was filled with joy.
Quan Jiu stood on the wall of the Zhou Kingdom's palace, gazing at the wild geese flying north in the sky, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
"Still no news?"
001 sighed and gave the answer that had been given thousands of times:
"No."
Perhaps because the fragments were broken into four pieces, the system's task did not stop after Mo Xi's accident, which was different from the previous situation where the system would directly end the task after the male protagonist died.
It was precisely because of this that a glimmer of hope arose in Quan Jiu's heart.
But a whole year passed and there was still no news from Mo Xi, and the hope in her heart was gradually extinguished.
"Wait a little longer."
…
After the Zhou surrendered, the king of Liang was in a panic.
He didn't expect that Qianqiu Kingdom could actually conquer Zhou Kingdom!
For the future of Liang State, he had to find Xu Zhu.
"Zhu'er, you've been staying in Qianqiu Country for the past year and have a good relationship with the Empress. Why don't you talk to her and ask her to give a piece of territory to Liang Country..."
Xu Zhu: "Impossible."
The King of Liang was unhappy.
"Don't think I don't know. Your contribution was indispensable to her successful conquest of the Zhou Kingdom. Moreover, you and she have a son. She will definitely seriously consider what you say..."
He wished that Quanjiu would pass the throne to Xiao Youzi as soon as possible, so that he could become the little emperor from the crown prince.
Xu Zhu had known the truth for a long time, and when he saw the person who was still kept in the dark, he just felt sorry for him.
"I said it's impossible, go back."
Seeing his stubborn attitude, the King of Liang had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Xu Zhu, don't think that you'll be able to grow strong just because you've been away for two years. Don't forget, that woman is still in my hands..."
The aura around Xu Zhu became visibly heavier, and his tone became cruel.
"I said, don't touch her."
The King of Liang: "As long as you listen to me, I will not touch her and will make her rich and prosperous forever."
Xu Zhu lowered his eyes: "I'll think about it."
………
When Quan Jiu heard Xu Zhu ask her if she wanted to annex Liang State, she was stunned.
She knew that their relationship as father and son was not good, but she didn't expect it to have deteriorated to this extent.
"He's your father, have you really thought about it?"
Xu Zhu just said lightly:
"My last name is Xu, and his last name is Liang."
Directly state your position.
With Xu Zhu and Xiao Youzi as smokescreens, the plan to annex Liang State went exceptionally smoothly.
Quan Jiu simply held a banquet and trapped the King of Liang in Qianqiu without any effort.
The rest of the process is much simpler.
Fake imperial edicts and oral instructions to get Liang to send troops, and then set a trap in advance...
In just two months, Qianqiu annexed the State of Liang.
