Chapter 498 Jinxia: The Situation on the Eastern Front Collapsed

In the wing room in the backyard of the Hou Mansion.

The weather is getting colder, and the girls rarely move outside.

Wu Mi was wearing a loose light-colored dress, with her long hair spread out. She was lying on her side on a bed covered with thick soft mattresses. She was stroking her swollen belly with one hand and listening to the chatter of the sisters below. Wen Ning There was a hint of sadness on her beautiful face.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Wu Mi and Chen Mo was not very deep before.

After all, it was the parents who ordered the matchmaker, and the two of them had no basis for any relationship.

It's just that after getting married, the emotional relationship gradually increased and we became dependent.

After becoming pregnant with Chen Mo's child, Wu Mi's feelings for Chen Mo became extremely strong.

For example, when Chen Mo was away, although Wu Mi missed him, he would not appear in her dreams.

But after she became pregnant with the child, she dreamed of him every night, missing Chen Mo coming back to accompany her soon.

Not far away, Han Anniang kept chatting with her, focusing on the child in her belly.

Beside the bed, Chu Juan was gently peeling the pear with a knife, her expression extremely focused.

Yi Shiyan was the most lively, chatting about recent interesting things.

Xia Zhiqing smiled and chatted for a few words before preparing to leave.

Wu Mi is Chen Mo's head wife, so the girls come over to say hello and chat with Wu Mi every day.

After all, we all live in the same courtyard, and if we have any topics to talk about, we have already finished talking, so we just come over and sit for a while and that's it.

Nangong Ru, Liang Xue, Ning Wan, Xiao Yunxi and others also stood up.

Without Chen Mo, it was a bit boring.

"Mrs. Ninth, there is someone outside who claims to be your relative and wants to see you. This is the token he gave." At this moment, a maid walked into the room, holding a jade pendant in her hand.

Madam Ninth is what the servants call Chu Juan.

Hearing this, Chu Juan handed the peeled pear to Wu Mi, put down the knife, got up and walked over.

Taking the jade pendant from the maid's hand, Chu Juan was surprised because this jade was something her mother always wore.

"Did Mom send someone here?"

This was the first thought that came to Chu Juan's mind, and then she put away the jade pendant and said, "Where are the people?"

Although the tokens are right.

But as Chen Mo's inner chamber, Chu Juan naturally couldn't see the man alone.

In the living room, accompanied by the maid, Chu Juan met the man.

As a result, the man knelt down as soon as he saw Chu Juan: "Please, Your Highness, save the Li family."

The man can be considered a member of the Li family, but his surname is not Li, but Wang He.

They are the natal family of Mrs. Hui’s half-brother’s daughter-in-law.

Because of the relationship between King Huai and Chen Mo.

Linzhou is far away from Fengzhou. If the Li family sent someone there personally, it would be easy for the news to leak out, so they asked Wang He, an in-law, to help with the trip.

The Li family’s appeal is simple.

Because Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong "surrendered to the enemy", King Huai no longer trusted the Li family, and his position as heir apparent was completely lost. He couldn't stay in Fengzhou any longer, so he thought of simply switching to Chen Mo.

And Chu Juan is Mrs. Hui's daughter, so in order to better switch jobs, she came to Chu Juan to establish connections.

The Li family's idea is that although it switched to Chen Mo, it actually wanted to attach itself to Chu Juan.

After all, "Is it easy for anyone in the DPRK to get things done?"

The Li family wanted Chu Juan to blow Chen Mo's pillow.

In fact, this is also a good thing for Chu Juan.

After all, with the help of my relatives, I can feel more confident when I speak in the back house.

Therefore, Chu Juan agreed to help the Li family, whether out of blood or personal considerations.

She wants to write a letter to Chen Mo.

…

Jin Xia.

Imperial City.

Imperial study room.

Jin Xia Khan Tuo Hui is convening officials of six ministries and grades above five to discuss matters in the imperial study.

Most of the matters discussed were military affairs.

Tuo Bahui was in a very good mood at the moment. After all, the battle reports submitted by the West Route Army and the East Route Army both resulted in consecutive battles and victories. The West Route Army even destroyed an entire country. According to the latest battle report, it also captured the country. Longyou of Song Dynasty was heading towards Yuzhou.

The only thing that made Tuo Bahui feel unhappy was that the Eastern Route Army had not submitted a battle report for a long time. The last battle report was that the army occupied Gaozhou in the Song Dynasty and threatened Qingzhou.

It stands to reason that at this time, the East Route Army has already captured Qingzhou and is about to join the West Route Army.

Tuoba Zhu didn't know what he was doing for food. As a military supervisor, he had no news at all for so long.

The chief officer of the Ministry of War said: "Great Khan, Weichen received the latest military report from the West Route Army today. The temperature has dropped sharply recently, and the army has not brought anything to keep out the cold. We urge the Ministry of Household Affairs to send supplies to the front line to keep out the cold."

"That's right." Tuo Bahui agreed without thinking and told the Ministry of Household Affairs to implement it as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Tuo Bahui paused for a moment and continued: "Have you received any recent military information from the East Route Army?"

The officials from the six departments all shook their heads.

At this moment, the voice of the inner prisoner came from outside the imperial study: "Great Khan, urgent report from the east front!"

The officials in the royal study looked shocked when they heard this.

Judging from the tone, something big happened.

Soon, the internal prison officer sent the information from the Eastern Route Army to Tuo Bahui.

Tuo Bahui's face moved slightly. He took the military newspaper and read the words on it. He was shocked and his face turned a little pale.

I saw it written on it that the entire Eastern Route Army was annihilated, and generals such as Timur and Yelu Tuuku were killed in the battle. Only Tuoba Zhu and hundreds of soldiers escaped alive.

What happened a long time ago, the reason why Tuobahui only knows about it now, is because before Timur lost for the first time, Tuobazhu wanted to wait for the situation to be restored before retaliating, so he kept it secret and did not retaliate. Later, he continued to lose. Always kept it hidden.

They were officials in the same court, so they would meet each other every day. If Tuoba Zhu kept it a secret, Wanyan Xiaji would naturally not report it on behalf of the Eastern Army.

Now the matter was serious, and Tuoba Zhu could no longer hide it, so he had to report it.

Tuoba Hui felt that the thin pieces of paper were as heavy as a thousand pounds at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the person who sent the battle report now? I want to ask him."

The eunuch said: "Report to the Khan, wait outside."

"Send it." Tuoba Hui said in a deep voice.

The officials in the imperial study immediately noticed something was wrong, and the chief officer of the Ministry of War stepped forward and said: "Khan, I don't know what the battle report on the eastern front contains?"

Tuoba Hui was about to speak.

The person who sent the battle report had entered the imperial study under the leadership of the eunuch. After seeing Tuoba Hui, he knelt on the ground with a plop.

All the officials changed their faces and knelt down as soon as they came up. This was a big deal.

Sure enough, under Tuoba Hui's questioning, the content of the battle report was told in more detail.

Knowing that the Eastern Route Army was almost completely annihilated and the Eastern Front was completely defeated, with only Tuoba Zhu escaping with a few hundred people, everyone felt cold hands and feet, and their breathing stagnated a little.

How could this be?

Didn't the Eastern Route Army win battles one after another before? How long has it been since it was defeated so thoroughly?

The Eastern Route Army had 80,000 troops.

Now almost all of them were annihilated

This price is also a huge loss for the entire Jinxia.

"Ah"

Tuoba Hui slammed the table heavily and roared.
