1303. Chapter 1303 Keep a Low Profile and Bide Your Time
Xiliang, Jinguo Military Camp.
The two-year war finally ended. The alliance of Jin State and Qi State, attacking from both sides, and cooperating inside and outside, finally broke up Wan Ziliang's army of 200,000. Wan Ziliang was beheaded by Ye Chunnan three days ago, and the army of Beiming Kingdom collapsed and retreated. Back.
Beiming Kingdom was hit hard, and the civil strife in their own country became more serious. Beitang Yu ordered the border defense to be strictly guarded, and he did not dare to send troops to invade Xiliang, let alone fight against Qi or Jin.
The Qi State and the Jin State each occupied two-thirds of Xiliang's land, and no one wanted a share of it. Whoever grabbed it would belong to him anyway. The only one who had any objections to this was Wanyanxi. However, because Xiliang is now With insufficient troops, they have already been recognized as mermaids for a long time, so they can only endure it. At least their royal capital city is still there.
More than a dozen cities from the wasteland to the west have now been included in the boundaries of the Kingdom of Jin. Murong Zhan transferred dozens of officials from other places to serve, set up county offices, and handle civil affairs. If the original people are willing to submit to the Kingdom of Jin , you can naturally stay and cultivate life. If you don't want to, you can return to their royal capital in Xiliang, and you don't have to stay in the territory that already belongs to the Kingdom of Jin.
Probably because they were afraid of being invaded, many people chose to stay. At least under the protection of a powerful country like Jin State, they no longer had to be invaded and robbed.
After the arrangements were made, Murong Zhan also ordered to return to Kyoto.
"Your Majesty, this is from Dongqing Kingdom." Ye Chunnan walked into the coaching camp and handed a heavy booklet to Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at the result, with a sneer on his lips, and threw the booklet directly into the charcoal furnace next to him, "What a whim!"
Ye Chunnan and Cheng Zimao looked at each other, wondering what Dong Qing had sent to make the emperor so angry.
"Li Heng wants to surrender to us?" Ye Chunnan asked Mo Rongzhan tentatively.
"He wants to re-form an alliance." The coldness in Murong Zhan's eyes did not diminish. During this year in the military camp, he was filled with a cold and murderous aura, especially since no news about Ye Zhen was found. It gave him an even greater urge to kill.
Shen Yi and the others found Baoxiang Country and found the traces left by Ye Zhen in Baoxiang Country. However, they searched further and found no news.
The sea was vast, and he didn't know where Ye Zhen was. Would he encounter pirates? Could he be stranded on some island? She was such a delicate little person, and she might even be carrying his children. Qi Jin said that she was pregnant with twins. How did she survive at sea with two children?
As long as he thought that Ye Zhen might be in danger, Mo Rongzhan couldn't calm down, and he even wanted to cut into pieces Li Heng who had indirectly caused all this.
"Re-alliance?" A weird sneer appeared on Ye Chunnan's face, "Is Li Heng out of his mind? Does he still have the nerve to talk to us about re-alliance at this time?"
Even though he had been a general in the Dongqing Kingdom, Ye Chunnan still felt disgusted by everything Li Heng had done, especially since his father had left the Dongqing Kingdom. Even if he had any nostalgia, it disappeared because of what happened to his father. All gone.
Li Heng has such a big face! When his father went on an expedition, Zhaoyang lost his child because of his sister. He obviously allied himself with the Jin Kingdom, and then surrendered to the Beiming Kingdom when the Jin Kingdom was in trouble. Now that the Beiming Kingdom was defeated, he wanted to reunite with the Jin Kingdom. Alliance?
Do you really think that this kind of swaying wallflower is rare to everyone?
Cheng Zimao also chuckled, "Your Majesty, should we also attack Dongqing Kingdom?"
"Jin Kingdom has almost exhausted its treasury in the past few years, and it needs to rest for at least a few years." No one wants to seize Dongqing Kingdom more eagerly than Mo Rongzhan, but now we can no longer fight with Dongqing Kingdom. Although Dongqing State is weak, it will take two years to defeat it, and Jin State cannot drag on the war for another two years.
Not only could the Jin Kingdom not drag out the war, but even the Qi Kingdom did not dare to continue attacking the Beiming Kingdom. Otherwise, with Qi's military strength, it would only take two or three years to attack the Beiming Kingdom at this time. However, Zhao Yong did not order the pursuit, which proves that Qi State must also have concerns.
Murong Zhan probably knew what Zhao Yong was worried about.
Zhao Yong's illness should have been hidden. Qi State has two princes, but they are said to be useless. If Zhao Yong wants Qi State to continue to be strong, he must cultivate a responsible heir, so he doesn't want to At this time, let’s use up the country’s strength to attack Beiming Kingdom.
Once Qi State consumes its national power, it will give Jin State a chance.
"Then let Li Heng go like this?" Cheng Zimao asked.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the book that had been burned to ashes in the stove and said, "Let him live for another two years."
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are going to order troops first." Cheng Zimao said that it would take time to break camp and return to Beijing. After all, soldiers had to be assigned to various border defenses.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have also resigned." Ye Chunnan said in a low voice.
Murong Zhan kept Ye Chunnan. He glanced at Ye Chunnan and said, "Is there any news about your father?"
Ye Chunnan knew that this was what Murong Zhan wanted to ask. Over the past year, Murong Zhan seemed to have put aside the Yaoyao matter, but he knew that in fact he had not. "Your Majesty, my subordinates have not received any information."
In fact, he was also very worried. He didn't know what happened to his father and Yaoyao.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Mo Rongzhan's eyes, "Go down."
Recently, he always had a vague feeling that Yaoyao was coming back.
Did he miss her so much that he had such a fantasy?
After sending Ye Chunnan away, Mo Rongzhan slowly stood up. He looked down at the wound on his lower abdomen. It was accidentally injured a few days ago. He used the wound that Ye Zhen left for him. The ointment is almost better. "Change the ointment for me."
Eunuch Fu said softly, "Your Majesty, the ointment... has been used up."
Murong Zhan was stunned for a moment. Has the ointment Yaoyao given him used up? The last thought was gone.
"Your Majesty, please ask the military doctor to change your medicine." Eunuch Fu asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Mo Rongzhan held a crystal white porcelain bottle in his hand, remembering Yaoyao's cute look when she gave it to him. He didn't want to take these bottles out, so she would always coquettishly let him take them. , and said that this way he could think of her when he was hurt, just like she stayed by his side.
After a while, a woman's voice came to mind outside the door, "I have seen the emperor. I am a medical woman from the medical camp and came to change the emperor's medicine."
Murong Zhan said nothing. Eunuch Fu went over to lift the curtain. When he saw the young woman outside the door, he was stunned for a moment.
The doctor woman walked in with her head lowered. She didn't dare to raise her head to look at Mo Rongzhan. She walked over with the medicine box and said, "I have met the emperor."
Eunuch Fu quickly came back to his senses and glanced sharply at the medical woman. However, the medical woman only had a calm expression on her face, as if she didn't even notice that Eunuch Fu's eyes were full of inquiry.
"Change the dressing." Eunuch Fu unbuttoned Mo Rongzhan's clothes, revealing his strong body.
