Chapter 1314
When Mrs. Li heard the words, she wiped her tears and nodded again and again: "I know how to marry someone with your head up, and marry a wife with your head down. Don't worry, master, I have a sense of proportion. If I am not sure, I will discuss it with my mother's family."
Just as he was talking, Sima Yan saw a group of exiled prisoners coming out of the city. The leader of the escort gave the soldiers guarding the gate a look at the document, and then jumped on his horse and walked out of the city at a leisurely pace.
"In this case, I have nothing to explain!" Sima Yan said to his wife, and bowed again, "The family entrusts Madam, Madam has to work hard."
Mrs. Li nodded: "Husband, take care all the way!"

Xiao Rongyan, the envoy and regent of the Yan Kingdom, arrived in the capital city. In the early days of the dynasty, Bai Qingyan received Xiao Rongyan and his party.
The regent Xiao Rongyan put forward in court the strategy of determining victory or defeat by national policy and merging the two countries, and the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately turned against Yingtian.
The civil servants and generals of the Great Zhou court were all agitated, clamoring to hand over the Queen Mother of Yan, otherwise the Great Zhou court would definitely fight to the death. After all... now it is the Great Zhou who has the advantage in the battle, and it is not impossible to completely destroy the Yan State within two years.
Bai Qingyan was sitting on the high platform, looking at Xiao Rongyan who was standing in the center of the hall as an envoy of the Yan Kingdom, with a slight smile on his brows.
Even though they were husband and wife, they now represent their own countries, regardless of personal matters, Bai Qingyan did not say anything to stop the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty from glaring at Yan Shi and his party.
Zhong Xingxiao tremblingly stood on Xiao Rongyan's left side and lowered his head very low, for fear that the courtiers of the Great Zhou would know that he was the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Yan and swallow him alive.
Zhong Xingxiao was even more afraid that Bai Qingyan would know his identity. He was afraid that Bai Qingyan would not dare to do anything to him in the public face, and secretly waited for an opportunity to retaliate. After all, they were now on the territory of Da Zhou, and the Emperor Da Zhou wanted to clean up. It was easy for him.
"Prince Yan Jiu..." Liu Rushi, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and bowed to the slender and masked Prince Yan Jiu, "Our Great Zhou wants the country of Yan...to betray Xiliang when the two countries work together to destroy Xiliang. For the matter of the Great Zhou, give us an explanation for the Great Zhou. The Ninth Prince will take one and a half months, so we gave the Ninth Prince a month and a half in the Great Zhou, but the Ninth Prince not only did not give us an explanation for the Great Zhou, but also suggested that the national policy will determine the winner or loser. The strategy of merging the kingdoms is beneficial to the Yan Kingdom, but it is not beneficial to our Great Zhou! The calculations of the Yan Kingdom are too loud!"
After Liu Rushi finished speaking, the civil servants and military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty became more and more emotional, clamoring for Yan Guo to give an explanation, and some generals with bad tempers were already saying that Yan Guo was shameless.
Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. In fact, it wasn't just Liu Rushi and the courtiers of Da Zhou. If the national policy to determine the outcome of the merger of the two countries was not the first one she proposed, they made it before deciding to destroy Xiliang. However, Bai Qingyan also suspects that this is a national policy to determine victory or defeat, and it is Yan's strategy to delay the army.
Fortunately, Bai Qingyan controlled and arranged the whole thing, whether it was her, Xiao Rongyan or Murong Li, they were all preparing for it.
On the other side of the country of Yan, Murong Li and Xiao Rongyan have already made arrangements, and the next step is to see how she, Lv Taiwei, Shen Sikong and uncle Dong Situ will deal with the Great Zhou Chaotang.
"Not only did Yan Guo not give us Da Zhou an explanation, but he even took advantage of our Da Zhou! Haven't you woken up yet?" A general of Da Zhou wrote his anger on his face, and shouted loudly in the hall. big.
"It's really shameless! The military strength is not as good as our Great Zhou, so he said that he would use state affairs to compete with our Great Zhou..." After a general finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Yue Shi again, and raised his finger to Yue Shi who was behind Xiao Rongyan, "You ...You are a dog who eats inside and out, you are the guard of our emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The emperor is gone. You should have protected your majesty and the little prince and princess, but you ran to be a lackey for the Yan people who destroyed your Wei country! You I'm not afraid that the emperor's husband will feel chilled if he finds out."
Yue Shi: "..."
Originally, Yue Shibu didn't want to enter the palace today, but Uncle Feng insisted that he follow, and he couldn't talk about that general...he never changed masters.
Yue Shi could only follow the pre-arranged rhetoric, bowed to the general, and said: "General, calm down, Prince Yan Jiu was kind to our master back then. General, please forgive me."
"I can't forgive you!" The general pointed his finger at Xiao Rongyan, who had a tall and straight back, "This country of Yan almost killed King Zhen and Marquis Yinghui, but those are our Majesty's younger brother and sister!"
Yue Shi looked at a loss, and looked up at Bai Qingyan who was sitting on the high platform.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Duanning, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to Bai Qing, "I think that Yan Guo's method is just to buy time for them, and the national policy is determined to win or lose. Even if they lose... they will never use it The fact that Yan State surrendered is because the main force of Yan State is trapped in Xiliang by our Great Zhou and cannot go back, and as long as our Great Zhou marches westward, the old, weak, sick and disabled in Yan State will definitely not be our Great Zhou opponent."
"Master Shangshu..." Xiao Rongyan nodded slightly to Zhang Duanning, and then said slowly, "How does Lord Shangshu know that there are only old, weak, sick and disabled left in our country of Yan? Has Zhang Shangshu ever visited our country of Yan?"
"You don't have to worry about it. Our Lord Shangshu personally went to the land of Yan. There have been many natural disasters in the country of Yan these years, and there is not enough food. I don't know how many people died of starvation. I don't know how many Yan people fled to our Great Zhou! Although Later, Nanyan was recovered, but it has only been a few years, can the Yan Kingdom recover its strength?" Liu Rushi's tone was flat, "It is conceivable... the situation in the country may be difficult, and the military strength is naturally limited."
"The people of Yan have been passionate and tough since ancient times. If it really comes to the moment of life and death, the main force of Yan who is trapped in Xiliang will return to Yandu to rescue him no matter what, let alone... the people in the country would rather die than be subjugated slaves "Xiao Rongyan turned to look at Bai Qingyan on the high platform, "This point must be clear to the Emperor of Zhou, after all... it was the Bai family army who took away the city and land of our country Yan inch by inch, and this metropolis !"
Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan's deep eyes behind the mask, and listened quietly with his elbow on the hidden bag.
"Emperor Da Zhou must also know how difficult it is to take down the city of our Yan Kingdom. The people, men, women, old and young, work together to resist. Even the brave and invincible Bai family army will suffer heavy losses if they want to take down a city." Xiao Rongyan stood with his hands behind his back, and slowly paced in the hall, as if he was telling a story, "Not to mention... the city that was taken down has already been destroyed in bad shape, and most of the people in the city will die in battle."
