Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

After Helian Fu left, Shen Yanyan remained alert and slept in a daze all night.

This person didn't look like he wanted to hurt her, but she couldn't let her guard down.

After all, they are enemies now.

On the other side, Xia Zhu looked at the gradually withdrawing Xiliang cavalry and felt so angry that her teeth were itching. If the eldest son was not still in their hands, she would definitely kill these people.

Of the 150,000 Cangzhou defenders, less than half were left and the losses were extremely heavy. Fortunately, the young lady arrived in time and drove the Xiliang army out of Cangzhou City.

She was shocked when she arrived at Hengwu Mountain today. The defenders on the mountain and the people of the city almost died on the mountain. Not to mention one day later, even a few hours later would have killed more people.

"Miss Xia Zhu, did the Queen give you any other instructions?"

Feng Cheng was scared to death when he heard that the Queen had come to Cangzhou in person and taken him hostage in order to save the people and the remaining defenders as soon as possible. He had also heard the rumor that the Queen had defeated the eldest prince of Xiliang. Now, with just a few words, she drove 200,000 Xiliang troops and Helian Fu out of Cangzhou City. The Queen was really a god.

Xia Zhu nodded, not knowing how the Empress was doing now.

He was unable to bring the queen back in time. Although the queen would not be taken hostage in the Xiliang army camp, it was snowing heavily outside and it was already midnight. He didn't know if anything happened to her after she escaped.

"The 150,000 troops from the capital will arrive tomorrow at the latest. The Queen has also made arrangements in Youzhou. General Feng does not have to worry. The next important thing is to solve the people's food, clothing and shelter. The Queen said that the weather is extremely cold, so let everyone hold on for a few more days. Food and clothing will arrive soon!" Xia Zhu looked at the half-destroyed houses and the empty city. Everyone was fleeing for their lives when they left, and they had no time to take anything with them. The Xiliang army would certainly not miss the opportunity to loot food, gold and silver after entering the city.

Fortunately, the queen was wise. When she passed through Jiangnan, she wrote a letter back. With the Ji family business, it would only take a few days to gather the food and clothing needed for the border. Their merchant ships could then transport the food from Jiangnan to Jizhou, and then to Youzhou and Cangzhou, which would be much faster. At least they could get by for some time before the batch of food arrived from the capital.

The outside was surrounded by the Xiliang army, and supplies had long been unable to be delivered. If it weren't for the food and fodder they brought, many people would have starved to death.

General Feng nodded and said, "The Queen is really wise."

"Is the Queen really okay? Miss Xia Zhu, the Northern Di God of War is really skilled. We are no match for him. Can the Queen really escape from him?" Feng Cheng expressed some worry. If the Queen failed to escape and really entered the Xiliang military camp, all of them would have to be buried with the Queen.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to escape." The young lady was carrying many miraculous medicines given by the miracle doctor. In addition, the young lady had been taking medicinal baths since she was a child, so she was a poison jar herself. Things like drugging were almost useless to her, except for the sleeping grass. But this was a secret, and they would never know it anyway.

In addition, the young lady is very skilled in martial arts and her lightness skills are top-notch. Even the ghost master is not as good as her. It is easy for her to run away without any conflict.

I just don't know if anything will happen to the young lady after she escapes. The heavy snow is really worrying.

"Tomorrow I will take a team of people out to look for the Queen. The affairs of Cangzhou will be handed over to General Feng. Xiliang will not make any more attacks in the next two days. After I find the Queen, I will work with her to find a way to rescue Lieutenant General Shen!" Xia Zhu felt that she could not just sit there and wait for death. She had to take people out to look for him.

Feng Cheng nodded.

Who could have thought that Helian Fu could be so powerful? After the Xiliang army hastily retreated, they fought back with great force. If Zhi Mo had not delayed outside for so much time, they would not have been able to hold out for so long.

The Queen Mother was actually alarmed and came to rescue him in person. He could only pray that Zhi Mo was still alive, otherwise how could he explain to the Queen Mother?

Youzhou.

After receiving Shen Yanyan's letter, Wei Chi hurried to Youzhou with 20,000 Wei family troops and 50,000 Yanzhou defenders.

As soon as we arrived outside Cangzhou City, we saw flames of war.

Countless people were fighting fiercely inside and outside the city walls, and roars and shouts were heard in the snowy night.

Wei Chi led an army of 70,000 and rushed towards the battlefield. The western border was as bright as the moon in the snowy night.

The bitter cold wind whistled, making the military flags flutter. Wei Chi rode on his warhorse, his posture upright and his eyes determined. The 70,000 troops behind him marched in unison, their morale high, like an unstoppable torrent.

When Wei Ji and a group of Youzhou defenders who were fighting desperately saw the Yanzhou military flag, a sense of hope surged in their hearts.

They had held out for several days, suffering heavy casualties, but they had never given up. Now, reinforcements had finally arrived, and when Wei Ji looked at the Wei Family Army flag next to him, he could no longer hold back his tears.

Wei Chi led the army to the battlefield quickly, and together with the Youzhou garrison, he attacked the Xiliang army from the front and back. He looked at the exhausted garrison and the Xiliang army with a stern look in his eyes.

Wei Chi ordered the army to attack, and the 70,000-man army rushed towards the enemy like a tide. Seeing the fierce force of the Yanzhou army, the enemy was timid and retreated one after another. Murong Yao looked at the enemy who suddenly appeared, frowned, and saw that he was defeated, so he broke out of the encirclement with the remaining people and ran away.

In this war, the Youzhou army won a great victory, but only a few hundred soldiers were left in the city. Wei Chi stood on the battlefield, looking at the corpses of the enemy soldiers and the Youzhou defenders, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

They were still late.

If it had happened earlier, many fewer people would have died.

Wei Chi dismounted and walked in front of Wei Ji. Looking at his brother who looked exactly like him, his eyes turned slightly red and he could no longer hold back his tears. This real man actually burst into tears.

"elder brother!"

Wei Ji's eyes also turned red. He nodded and couldn't help but hug his brother.

Blood ties, although the two had never met before, they could feel the strong blood connection the moment they saw each other.

The people around were very surprised to see two generals and princes who looked exactly the same.

"Why are you here!" Wei Ji was a little puzzled. Shouldn't he be in the capital at this time?

"The Queen Mother guessed that something might happen to you, so she asked me to bring the Yanzhou garrison and the Wei family army to Youzhou, and she took 100,000 Jizhou troops to Cangzhou!" Wei Chi wiped away his tears, just like the arrogant and domineering prince on the streets of the capital in the past.

"Is it the Queen who is here?" Wei Ji was a little surprised. Why would His Majesty allow such a precious body as the Queen to come here?

Something must have happened in the capital.

"Let's go into the city first! Let's deal with the battlefield!" Wei Ji looked at the corpses all over the ground, was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his usual calm and composed appearance.

Wei Chi waved his hand, and some people stayed behind to clean up, while the rest followed into Youzhou City.

When the defenders on the city wall saw that it was reinforcements, they quickly opened the gate to welcome the army into the city.

General's Mansion.

Wei Chi was sitting opposite Wei Ji. Just when he was about to talk about the matters concerning Prince Wei's Mansion, Wei Ji spoke up.

"Has His Majesty been in trouble?" Wei Ji saw that there were only two people in the room, with his personal soldiers and his personal soldiers inside and outside, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
