Through the palace of the king of subjugation

New defeat?

Today, the war report from the Ministry of War arrived at the Taiji Hall, but Zhou Zheling still didn't show up, and the court exploded.

The first battle in the city was lost.

Xiang Hong still did some homework, drawing on the experience of Baiou's victory in the previous battle, and chose to send the enemy troops into the city outside the waiting city.

But he has only scratched the surface.

He didn't have the big game of chess that Bai Gu was preparing to play to lure the enemy into deep; he didn't even have the overwhelming intelligence network, and he didn't check at all that the Beiyin army led by Zhao Hongyin himself this time is no longer what it used to be.

Even if Li Yu reminded him many times, he only took it as an excuse for the emperor to scare him off and replace him with his "male favourite".

Most importantly, his subordinates are no longer the garrison who is desperate for the future of himself and his family.

Although he was not there, Bai Gu was still the commander of the garrison in the city in name, and the military regulations set by Bai Gu were still kept in the garrison.

The children of the aristocratic family who returned to the garrison watched helplessly that the slaves who had been trampled by him turned over one by one, and those who had made military exploits climbed faster than them.

In their eyes, even if this group of people put on the high-spirited military uniforms, their speech and actions were still vulgar and vulgar.

Wearing a dragon robe is not like a prince.

But whether it looks like it or not, this "Dragon Robe" is really a good thing that makes people envy.

Their eyes were so red that they were about to bleed.

Those lowly slaves were able to win with ease, so it can be seen that Beiyin people are nothing more than idiots. Why should those lowly slaves miss out on such a simple opportunity to become famous?

The last time the white gull actually went to the battlefield were 2 "slave" soldiers waiting for the city. This time, on the same battlefield, Xiang Hong sent more than [-] soldiers from aristocratic families.

To be safe, he also sent [-] slave soldiers to lead the battle.

But he didn't understand at all what the White Gull's victory depended on.

The reason why the white gulls were able to win with few last time was not only due to the anticipation of the future hope of the garrison waiting in the city, but also the preparations before the battle, the arrangement of traps, and the group of people who fought long and hard in the outer city. Older people are familiar with every street and alley in the outer city.

Only the kind of deep-rooted familiarity can make them disappear in street battles, and the enemy can't even react to what happened after their necks are wiped, so that they can wipe out a large number of Beiyin enemy troops at the cost of minimal casualties.

But this group of pampered and pampered young master soldiers either grew up in the honeypot of the inner city, or they were not from the city at all; how could the dirty slums in the outer city dirty their noble boots.

They don't understand the outer city of Daicheng, and Xiang Hong doesn't understand what street fighting is at all.

Excessive personnel investment has made the already small outer city crowded, and there is still some advantage in concealed operations.

The first battle of the waiting city was defeated, and the outer city fell within a day——

This is the military report that Li Yu got today.

It turned out that what Li Yu knew was completely different from Bai Gu's.

Li Yu called this defeat a "new defeat", which should have happened not long ago...

"In the battle report of the Ministry of War, is there any record about the time of this battle?" Bai Ou asked anxiously.

Li Yu nodded, "Ten days ago."

Ten days?

After the war, regardless of victory or defeat, the battlefield is a mess. It takes time to collect and sort out the battle reports. These white gulls understand; time--

What happened ten days ago can indeed be called a "new defeat".

But ten days!

How could it be possible for the three cities in the northwest to fall, and all of them fell into the hands of Zhao Hongyin.

On the tenth day, or even earlier, Sigou had not received any battle report; and this time the military report, although the reason for the defeat in this battle could not be analyzed so thoroughly, Bai Ou knew it better than anyone else.

The failure was justified.

On the tenth day, it didn't match up with the date Sigou said before that the war in the city would start.

So, could it be that Sigou's information was wrong this time?

Using the plague as an excuse, Bai Ou did not see the handwriting in Sigou's letter with his own eyes, and he did not even see the man named "Zhang Shanqing".

But the name "Zhang Shanqing" left a deep impression on Bai Ou; the angry voice behind the door just now clearly didn't seem to be pretending...

If someone is really doing this game, what is the picture?

But no matter what it is, White Gull has something more to worry about right now——

"That battle report—" He grabbed Li Yu's hand anxiously, "Did you touch it?"

Li Yu nodded frightened by Bai Ou's sudden domineering behavior, and whispered: "The battle report is such an important thing... Of course I have to see it myself..."

"handwashing!"

The white gull dragged Li Yu to the copper basin involuntarily, and dipped his hands in the water. He grabbed Li Yu's small hand and washed it over and over until the white skin on the back of the hand was rubbed red.

"Brother Baiou..." Li Yuxiao said softly, "It hurts..."

It was only then that Bai Gu came back to his senses, stopped the mechanical movements in his hands, and hugged him tightly.

"You..." He rubbed the top of Li Yu's soft hair, "Nothing..."

"What's the matter?" Li Yu leaned obediently in Bai Gu's arms, and said softly, "Where did you go?"

*****

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the front of Yannian Hall is brightly lit.

"Waste..."

"waste--"

Zhou Zheling coughed violently, while Zhou Muyun patted her on the back for help.

"A group, a group of lowly slaves... can win..."

"He Xiang Hong...has, what face does he have to live!"

Zhou Zheling was almost hoarse.

"Auntie should stay tight, always keep the green hills." Zhou Muyun sighed, "The last time I was victorious in the city, and this time I was defeated...they are not the same group of people..."

"Where's that person!" Zhou Zheling patted the edge of the bed uncontrollably, "Didn't you say that that bastard from the Chen family only brought a few thousand people back to Jiangning?"

"What about the rest!"

"It's up to the commander-in-chief before the battle to decide who to send to the battlefield. Major General Xiang probably has his own plans. Auntie, don't worry." Zhou Muyun still patiently explained, "Waiting for the city is just losing an outer city. room for maneuver."

"What plans do you have?" Zhou Zheling gritted his teeth and said, "They—"

"It's nothing more than the court's rice moth!"

Zhou Muyun didn't stop moving his hands, just lowered his head quietly, "Auntie calm down."

"The emperor's side—" Zhou Zheling coughed lightly again, "is there any change?"

"The eyeliner around His Majesty has been removed." Zhou Muyun respectfully said: "Your Majesty has a well-founded response above the court, and what will happen after the court is unknown."

"There is evidence for the response? Heh—" Zhou Zheling snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it was 'premeditated'?"

There is no need for a big victory, Xiang Xingyan, Xiang Hong and his son only need to defend the city, and Zhou Zheling has a way to press the white gull to death in this Jiangning city, but the city outside the city has fallen.

Before that, how Li Yu racked his brains and was so eager to send his "male favorite" to the battlefield to stabilize the military power, Zhou Zheling himself knew it.

But today in the Taiji Hall, when the military report of the city's defeat arrived, the officials who had lost Zhou Zheling, the backbone, fell to their knees, crying and begging General Shenwu to regain the lost ground and reorganize the rivers and mountains.

On the contrary, Li Yu put on airs and looked noncommittal. Didn't it mean that he had planned it a long time ago?

"It must be...it must be..." The more Zhou Zheling thought about it, the more something was wrong, "This little fox is smarter than his father and grandfather combined!" "Auntie means..." Zhou Muyun hesitated: "It's Your Majesty The Great General Shenwu hid the previously victorious team of the garrison in the city, causing the city to be defeated, and then..."

Once the city falls, there will be no natural barrier between Beiyin and Jiangning. Now Zhou Zheling has no room to bargain with Li Yu, which is why the officials in the court are in chaos.

Li Yu first used a big defeat to uproot the foundation of Xiang's family in the three northwest cities for decades; then he used this matter to blackmail the frightened waste in the court, so that Baiou could once again take command of the city.

After the big victory at that time, he will be able to monopolize the military and political power in the three northwest cities, laying the foundation for him to seize power after his weak crown.

"Otherwise?" Zhou Zheling stared at Zhou Muyun with frowning eyebrows: "Is there any other explanation?"

"Useless waste!" She said coldly: "No one can teach Aijia to worry."

"It's Muyun's useless." Zhou Muyun fed Zhou Zheling the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, then knelt respectfully by the bedside, "I can't share my aunt's worries."

"Hmph—" Zhou Zheling sneered, and lay down with the support of the old mother beside him.

"It's quite useless, you're not even as good as the old empress." She stared at the bed curtain above her head, "If you can now give birth to an heir for the little emperor, why is the Aijia so constrained by this little fox? "

"Aunt—" Zhou Muyun raised his head, his usually calm eyes showed a hint of shock, "Your Majesty is attracted to men...you still want, you want Muyun..."

If the emperor's broken sleeve inside the palace wall was just a rumor, it was not a secret at all to the aunt and nephew of the Zhou family who had heard Li Yu utter the words "sweetheart" with their own ears.

Li Yu liked a man, Zhou Zheling knew it well, but still wanted Zhou Muyun to marry him.

"There's nothing wrong with being male-sexed!" Zhou Zheling interrupted Zhou Muyun relentlessly, "At least you don't have to fight and rob with a whole harem of women."

"He favors a man born to a humble woman, what can that man do? Can he give birth to a child? Can he continue the successor for the Li family?"

"One day, when Ai's family dies—" she sighed, "If you encounter the situation of the former empress again, and the lowly maid who climbed the bed gets pregnant before you, who will clean it up for you?"

*****

The unhappy conversation between the aunt and nephew ended, and the candles in the bedroom of Guangming Palace also dimmed.

The two men in the hall exchanged information that was not quite equal, and then they both fell silent.

No one asked the other party what they planned to do next.

At the same time, the two tacitly chose to act as if nothing had happened, and went to bed after washing.

Li Yu rested his pillow on Bai Gu's chest, and was surprisingly quiet tonight; Bai Gu just patted his back lightly.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Li Yu stretched out his hand to hold Bai Ou's hand, interlocking his fingers.

"I'm wondering—" Bai Gu said softly, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

"Yes." Li Yu's voice was also very soft.

"Today's battle report came back, and Zhou Zheling wasn't here. Are those trash snacks scared?" Bai Ou jokingly said, "Are you crying and begging me to go to the city?"

"Yes." Li Yu affirmed.

"But you didn't agree either."

"Yes."

White Gull smiled knowingly and didn't say anything more.

"If I promise too quickly—" Li Yu fingered the braid on Bai Gu's chest, "How can I make them mistakenly think that I set up all this?"

"What did you say?" White Gull stretched his upper body nervously.

"I will make you a general of Yipinzhu Kingdom soon, and set off to wait for the city." Li Yu patted Bai Ou's chest tenderly, "But before that, I have to make sure that you go safe and sound. It's the same as last time."

Bai Ou seemed to suddenly understand what Li Yu meant.

They didn't need too many words before.

Li Yu never interferes with how he fights every battle, nor does he dictate Li Yu's political affairs——

This is an absolute trust and tacit understanding.

"Why—" He lay back on the couch again, and stretched out his arms to embrace his little beauty, "This time, you won't be crying and yelling to come with me?"

"Didn't you say to give me your back?" Li Yu smiled and kissed the corner of Bai Ou's lips, "Yu'er still has important things to do."

*****

The general of Yipinzhu Kingdom was ordered in danger, and he was in command again to wait for the city. This was the last hope of the whole Shangning;

Ten miles outside the city, it happened to be the decaying gazebo.

The rumors that the emperor and the general's sleeves were broken in the palace were almost confirmed, and the imperial guards just stood at a distance.

The gazebo was dilapidated, covered with dust several feet thick, Bai Ou and Li Yu didn't go in, but stood far away by the path of the gazebo.

Li Yu picked off a withered willow branch from a willow tree beside the road, and said softly, "Baqiao, please break the willow again."

Bai Gu took the willow branch from Li Yu's hand, bent his knees, and inserted it into the soil; then he put his hands on his knees casually, and looked up at Li Yu.

His handsome brows and eyes have the sharpness and confidence that a general should have, and the unruly smile on the corner of his mouth is full of tenderness and security that only Li Yu can understand, which belongs to his brother Baiou.

"West out of Yangguan has no old friends." Bai Ou said with a smile.

Seeing the sparkle in Li Yu's eyes, he got up and pulled Li Yu over, hiding their figures behind the stone pillars of the gazebo.

Li Yu was pressed on the pillar and kissed unreasonably.

Feeling the trembling in his arms, Bai Gu let go of him. He licked the corner of his lips viciously, and said with a smirk, "I'm just joking."

He looked down at the dead branch on the ground that he had inserted into the soil, "Before this dead branch sprouts next year, I will definitely come back to you."

"Okay." Li Yu nodded emphatically.

He almost bit his lower lip, resisted it, and finally didn't let his tears stop the white gull's way.

"Don't come to look at Duanchun, so far there are tens of thousands of palace lanterns, and only one is waiting for someone to return."

*****

After the white gull left, Li Yu kept watching the figure disappear at the end of the post road, and never found anyone approaching.

Xiao Yao approached the pavilion with light steps, and whispered: "Your Majesty, are you coming back?"

Li Yu shook his head, watching the dust splashed by the horseshoe all the way down the sky, and said: "Have all the people he left for me brought out of the city?"

Xiao Yao nodded, "It was prepared last night."

"Where is it?" Li Yu turned around and said, "Let's go around."

"But Your Majesty—" Xiao Yao glanced nervously at the imperial chariot behind him, "So many people... are watching..."

"Heh—" Li Yu chuckled, "I'm afraid they won't see it."

The author has something to say: Tomorrow will continue!Xiao Yu'er is about to make a move!

There are many doubts in the case of the city fan, is there anyone willing to guess?And how would Xiao Yu'er deal with Zhou Zheling?

Hey~ In vain I recharged a sum of money before, and this red envelope has been released until now~!

Baqiao is an image of farewell for the ancients. In today's Shaanxi Province, it is not the place name that appears in the text~ Don't get me wrong! ~
