After rebirth, he was pampered by the disabled prince.

"Surrender quickly, lest you be struck to death by lightning!!! Hahahahaha!!!" In the rain, the soldiers in Lingnan never felt so relieved, and they laughed one after another.

Although the real cause of death of the Western Region general was not that he was struck by lightning, at the moment of the explosion, thunder and lightning appeared at the same time. It was difficult for them to believe that the Western Region soldier was not struck to death by lightning.

"The Western Regions offended the law of heaven and committed unforgivable sins. For this reason, this divine punishment was imposed. Don't you Western Regions still admit your guilt?"

The voice was thick and distant, as if coming from the other side, with an indestructible coldness.

As soon as these words came out, the panic-stricken Western Region soldiers panicked. After hearing this voice, almost all the Western Region soldiers immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Spare my life, God forgive me!!!"

In the light of thunder and lightning, Mu Xinghe led the soldiers from Lingnan towards Cangzhou City.

Without any obstruction, Mu Xinghe quickly recaptured Cangzhou City, while the soldiers from the Western Regions were unable to resist, either escaping or being arrested.

"Soldiers, follow me on the expedition." Mu Xinghe would not miss this opportunity. A country's military strength was only a few hundred thousand. Even Lingnan, the largest country, only had a million troops in total.

Now that the 300,000-strong army of the Western Regions has left all of them in Lingnan, the strength of the Western Regions will come to an end.

Pursuing the Western Region soldiers in Mu Xinghe, one after another good news was sent back to Kyoto.

After Xiao Yu returned to Kyoto, not long after, the emperor became critically ill. Mu Feiyan and Qingyuan were not here. Even if they were here, they might not be able to snatch people from the hands of the Lord of Hell.

The emperor looked back and summoned Xiao Yu.

The emperor was sitting on the bed with a rosy complexion, completely different from the way he had been recovering from a long illness. After lying there for several months, he went from being angry at the beginning to accepting his fate, and now he has no other choice.

"Is your leg healed?"

"No."

"You don't have to lie to me. Isn't it just for this position that you do so much?"

Xiao Yu smiled softly and said, "Father, not everyone values ​​this position as much as you and eldest brother do."

"I do not believe."

"The eldest brother brought his own destruction. The third and fifth brothers were both killed by the eldest brother. As for Xiao Yan, he is not your biological son. Presumably if he doesn't die, you won't let him become the prince. Only the seventh brother is left. He has returned to the Western Regions long ago. Whether it was the eldest brother's rebellion or the murder of the third and fifth brothers, it has nothing to do with me. Why do you still think that I am coveting this position? Just because my surname is Xiao?" Xiao Yu had a look on his face. A hint of sarcasm.

"You dare to say that you didn't expect that he would rebel? If you, the five thousand Youzhou troops, were to pursue him, it would be a death penalty."

"I did have expectations, so father, do you think it was wrong for me to stop him? Or should I leave the throne to him?"

The emperor was quite angry when Xiao Yu choked him, "You know that's not what I meant."

"Whatever you mean, I can tell you very clearly that I will not sit in that position."

"The more you say that, the more I want to give you this position."

"casual."

"Yu'er." The emperor suddenly softened his tone, and then he asked, "How do you know that the commander is his?"

"Very early."

"So you..." The emperor was furious, but before he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Yu's indifferent voice.

"So I know he will take the opportunity to attack you, but I can't save you at that time, otherwise the elder brother will not be exposed, and it will be difficult to catch him next time."

"Then you use me as bait? You traitor, traitor!!!"

"If you want to blame me, blame my brother. He didn't kill me four years ago."

The emperor clutched his chest, and his originally rosy face gradually turned pale, "You are still blaming me. My love for you when you were a child was never fake."

"It's true, but it's all just use. Besides, Xiao Yu, who once admired you with all his heart and eyes, is dead, so you don't need to continue this topic."

The emperor fell backwards, and finally died with his eyes open.

Xiao Yu looked over calmly, "Your Majesty, you are dead!"

With the emperor's death, the court was plunged into mourning both inside and outside the court. However, at this time, Mu Xinghe was in the distant Cangzhou City, leading Lingnan's army and continuing her campaign.

In Kyoto, the emperor's death did not plunge the court into turmoil. After all, Xiao Yu had been handling government affairs during his illness. When the emperor passed away, Xiao Yu also became busy and needed to deal with the emperor's subsequent funeral. thing.

On the day of the emperor's death, Mu Xinghe's first good news came. They not only took back Cangzhou City, but also captured Miaozhou in the Western Region, and were now heading towards the Kyoto in the Western Region.

Xiao Yu and other ministers put on mourning clothes. The Qin Tian Supervisor calculated the date of the funeral, and the Ministry of Rites arranged a series of funerals. But since we are now at war with the Western Regions, and the previous wars also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, we can save what we can now.

Xiao Yu still handled the funeral according to the emperor's specifications, but some parts were streamlined. Even if it went underground, the ancestor would not say anything.

While preparing for the funeral, Qinbei launched another attack on Lingnan. They understood better than anyone else the truth of death and coldness. Once the Western Region was lost, either Qinbei or Qidong would be next.

But now the situation is very likely to be Qinbei.

As for Qidong, Qidong wanted to attack Lingnan, but due to internal and external troubles, even the border counties have stopped attacking Qidong, but they can no longer withstand the consumption internally.

If they fight again, they may even give up the city they have obtained now.

As for Qinbei's attack, Xiao Yu had already prepared for it. He immediately mobilized the defenders of Cizhou and Youzhou, and then transferred the returning Golden Tiger Army. He ordered Huo Xiu to lead people there, and Yuanchuan Yuanxi followed him. .

Then let Mu Heng return from the Western Region and fight directly.

The Minister of Household Affairs was very worried, "But Your Highness, the treasury is out of money!"

Although Xiao Yu reorganized the household department during the period when Mu Xinghe was missing, some money had already been given away and used by Xiao Zhe. Even if the house was ransacked, the treasury was not particularly rich.

After all, snowstorms and wars have already cost too much, and this trip to the Western Region has almost emptied the treasury. Now, the war in Qinbei is urgent, and they have begun to mobilize food from the neighboring state capital, but they cannot afford to support an army of 400,000 people.

He knew that the treasury was empty. Before Mu Xinghe left, she had already anticipated it, and then gave him the key to her private treasury. "Send a message to collect food from various places. As for the money, how much is needed, go directly to Chen The palace is looking for Xiao Yi."

The Minister of Hubu is Xiao Yu's confidant. When he and Mu Xinghe got married, all the gold and silver treasures were sent to Prince Chen's Mansion. Now, the Minister naturally understands what he means.
