The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

In recent years, although Subei and Beimo have been in constant friction, they have never really fought. Firstly, both sides have left room, and secondly, Shang Junlin led people to fight so hard that Beimo did not dare to make any changes.

A few years have passed, and time has eliminated fear and fueled the ambitions of the Beimo people.

Especially after successfully getting on line with the upper-level officials of Subei, they gave them the wrong view that "the Subei Army is nothing more than that". This severe drought made them think that they had touched the best opportunity, and those in power could not resist the temptation .

"What's the current situation of the Subei Army?" Shen Yu was curious.

"I asked Yinlongwei to go to Subei to understand how the Subei Army has developed over the years. I have not been disappointed. Everything that should be practiced has not failed. Over the years, the Subei Army has recruited many newcomers. , They have never seen a real battlefield, and I want to let them fully grow through this time."

Soldiers who have never experienced war, no matter how powerful they look, it is uncertain how they will perform on the battlefield. What Shang Junlin needs is not this kind of soldiers. What he wants are soldiers who can fight for Dahuan.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me something about Subei back then?" Shen Yu blinked and looked at Shang Junlin with his chin resting.

"Why do you suddenly want to know this?" Shang Junlin sat beside him.

"I want to know more about His Majesty. I have only heard about so many things that happened to His Majesty in the past. I want to hear from His Majesty himself." He stared at Shang Junlin gloomily.

His eyes are very beautiful. When he focuses on a certain person, there is a small light in his eyes, as if the only person in the world who can enter his eyes is the person he is looking at. No one can resist such a gaze.

So is Shang Junlin.

He held his gloomy wrist and slowly talked about the events of that year.

"The real confrontation with Beimo was after I ascended the throne. The first emperor listened to the traitor and ceded Subei to Beimo in exchange for a moment of peace, but hungry wolves will not know how to be satisfied. One step back can only be exchanged for their progress , With Subei, Bei Mo is not satisfied, and wants more and more fertile land, just as I ascended the throne, I am too lazy to talk to the ministers in the court, so I simply brought my troops to Subei."

Shang Junlin has his own soldiers in his hands, which are the strength he accumulated step by step in his early years in the army. These people followed him from birth to death, accompanied him from nothing to becoming the lord of a country, and witnessed every step of his growth, and also step by step. Recapture the lost land of Dahuan.

"Because it was sent out by the first emperor on his own initiative, Subei did not experience a large-scale war. After Beimo people entered Subei, they unilaterally tore up the contract not to oppress the people of Subei, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. I led the troops to arrive At that time, Subei had already spontaneously organized a team to resist the Beimo people, if it is really counted, this team can be regarded as the embryonic form of the Subei Army."

Recalling the past, Shang Junlin's face was expressionless, and he put his other hand on the back of Shang Junlin's hand gloomily: "Where is the army stationed in Subei?"

"Let's evacuate first. How many Zhongliang were killed by the late emperor in his later years, he didn't care about the life and death of these people at all." Shang Junlin's voice became cold.

The capital is far away from Subei, and the late emperor lived and died in the palace, how could he have imagined how many people would be displaced because of his simple decision.

"Fortunately, His Majesty was there to rescue Subei from the dire straits." Shen Yu said softly.

"After I arrived in Subei, I regrouped the scattered soldiers, formed them with the local spontaneously formed team, and fought back. It's ridiculous to say that Bei Mo thought that the Dahuan people were easy to bully, and they didn't Thinking that there will be a day when it will be counterattacked, the first war will be completely defeated."

"Later, more and more people joined voluntarily. After fighting for more than a month, Beimo surrendered. I didn't want to pay attention to it, and the people in Subei didn't want to accept it either. So I took them and drove them out of Dahuan territory."

Shang Junlin's voice is low, even though the tone is flat and straightforward, he still can't help but follow his words and imagine the situation in Subei back then.

Shen Yu knew that things would not be as simple as Shang Junlin said, Shang Junlin didn't say much, and Shen Yu didn't know how to ask carefully.

"At that time, I was away all year round. Thanks to King Li's stable situation in the court, I cultivated my own manpower later. King Li gradually reduced his sense of presence. I was grateful for his initial help, and often turned a blind eye to him. One eye." Later Shang Junlin thought about whether he had made a mistake in this matter.

"Is your majesty on good terms with the princes?" Shen Yu only knew that Shang Junlin had a bad relationship with his half-brothers, and those princes who were a senior generation didn't seem to like to join Shang Junlin's side very much.

"Except for King Li and King An, there is nothing to do with each other." Shang Junlin was too old to look forward to family affection, and he didn't even care about his father, let alone other uncles.

Shen Yu was not surprised. Those princes saw Shang Junlin like a mouse seeing a cat. At first he thought he was frightened, but now it seems that from the very beginning, those people were afraid of Shang Junlin.

"Ayu is the only one by my side," Shang Junlin sighed, and hugged the young man into his arms, "Ayu can't leave me. If that day comes, I don't know what I will do."

All his emotions were poured into Shen Yu. Before falling in love with Shen Yu, he once thought that he could only be alone in the cold dragon chair in this life. The arrival of Shen Yu showed him another look of life.

"I won't leave," Shen Yu patted the man's back to comfort him, wondering in his heart, "Why does Your Majesty always think that I will leave? Without Your Majesty, I have nowhere to go."

Sullen does not deny that at the beginning, he thought about leaving. After all grievances are settled, he will choose a clean place to spend the rest of his life, but as he gets along with Shang Junlin day by day, this idea disappears unconsciously .

Shang Junlin couldn't tell the reason, maybe it was because of his heart, he had never obtained anything, and when he got it suddenly, he was easy to worry about gains and losses.

The Beimo royal family handed over the document to Da Huan. They thought that the other party would admit that they were cowardly and follow their request. Unexpectedly, within a few days, their scouts found traces of the Subei Army's activities.

"What did you say?!" Emperor Bei Mo stood up abruptly with a look of disbelief.

"Subordinates dare not lie, we did find traces of the Subei Army at the junction with Dahuan." The soldier who spoke lowered his head firmly, with a tremor in his voice.

"How is it possible?!" Emperor Beimo spun around a few times impatiently, "Didn't it mean that Subei just experienced a severe drought, how dare Dahuan have the guts to start a war with us?!"

Beimo dared to go to war, largely because Subei had just experienced a drought. In their view, the insufficient supply of food and grass was equivalent to a death sentence for the Subei Army. After the disaster relief, the treasury was empty. It's not a wise move.

The best development in Emperor Beimo's mind was that Dahuan admitted his cowardice and obediently obeyed their request, and they led their troops to the south again to grab a wave in Subei, just to use these things to spend the winter.

Unexpectedly, Dahuan's reaction was completely different from what he had imagined. The female official in charge of negotiating with them was even more powerful. There was no one in the entire northern desert who could talk to her. Total victory.

Emperor Beimo held his breath in his heart for a long time. He originally thought that when they marched south, he would force Dahuan to dispose of this woman to vent his hatred.

"What shall we do now?" a minister asked with a frown.

The army has been assembled, and we can't give up just because of the slightest disturbance. How can they hold their heads up in other countries if it spreads like that?

"Since Da Huan is unwilling to negotiate a peace, don't blame us for taking action directly!" Bei Mo Emperor's eyes were dark.

At this moment, the Beimo Emperor didn't know that the Subei Army had already sharpened their swords, and they just waited for them to come to their door automatically.

"In the past, these Beimo people were timid and couldn't enjoy fighting a battle. This time we can fight a battle to our heart's content."

Within the Subei Army, no one was afraid of this war. When they got the order from the court, everyone was excited. Bei Mo had already ridden on their heads. If they didn't fight back at this time, when would they have to wait? ?

"As expected of His Majesty, who was able to drive out the Beimo people by himself back then, the response he gave to the Beimo people's provocation is really satisfying!"

War is not a good thing for the people, but for the people of Subei, they are willing to pay any price to fight the people of Beimo.

The bloody enmity of the broken family and the death of the wife is not something that can be easily forgotten.

Shang Junlin issued a secret decree to He Chengyu, Jiang Huaiqing, and Fang Jiayi who stayed in Subei, roughly meaning: Just do whatever you want, and I will support you behind.

It was because of this imperial decree that Fang Jiayi dared to piss off the people sent by Beimo every time.

The three of them were not stupid people. From Shang Junlin's actions, he could see his attitude towards Bei Mo. As a courtier, he naturally wanted to share his worries, so they added fuel to the fire in this war.

For example, people in Beimo deliberately misunderstood that Subei's army was not paid enough and was greatly affected by the drought. For example, Fang Jiayi, who was so popular in Beimo every time he negotiated, couldn't refute it.

"She dared to do this, His Majesty ordered it?" Shen Yu looked at the document sent back from Subei, which described Fang Jiayi's heroic appearance in the negotiation.

"Ah Yu really knows me. Bei Mo thinks this drought is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so why don't I think so." Shang Junlin admitted generously.

"Does Your Majesty want to take this opportunity to beat Bei Mo, or do you want to get something from Bei Mo?" The gloomy question hit the nail on the head.

"Back then, Beimo took Subei from Dahuan. This time, I also want them to bleed." Moreover, the behavior of Beimo people has touched Shang Junlin's bottom line.

"Your Majesty wants the land of Beimo?" Shen Yu was surprised.

Shang Junlin ordered Eunuch Meng to bring the map, and opened it on the table: "This area north of Subei is very suitable for raising horses. I want to train a cavalry."

"Cavalry?" Sullenly thought of Shang Junlin's private horse farm, obviously this idea did not come out of nowhere, "Since when did Your Majesty have this plan?"

"I fought against Beimo back then and suffered from their cavalry. Later, I wondered if I could form a strong cavalry, but Dahuan lacked too many things. Until now, this wish has not been realized."

However, soon.

Shen Yu tapped the circled place on the map with his fingertips: "This is close to Subei, so it's convenient to come and go. Your Majesty's wish will come true soon."
