The soldiers led by Lu Wei were all bandits in the past and were very familiar with the mountains and forests.

Compared with the unfamiliar Shang Yuan and others, they were like walking on flat ground.

However, since Shang Yuan brought many people with him, he eventually escaped, but the losses this time were particularly heavy.

Lu Wei sent someone to tell the prime minister and the grand tutor, and according to Shang Yue's instructions, he took 100,000 elite troops to pursue Shang Yuan.

When the news of Shang Yuan's escape reached the palace, the empress dowager, who was worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist temple, almost cried for joy.

Nan Yan was also able to relax for a moment.

She lay on the soft couch in the yard, the gentle sunlight shining on her body, the warm breeze caressing her face, making her feel drowsy with comfort.

This was the scene that Le Yu saw when he walked over. He wanted to share his joy, but he paused and quietly retreated back into the hall.

He has seen clearly how hard his mother has been working during this period. Now that she has finally had some time to rest, he cannot disturb her.

When Nan Yan woke up, the setting sun with golden light slowly fell, and the sky was gradually dyed with a layer of soft amber, brilliant and beautiful.

Nan Yan's face was also illuminated as if it was glowing.

Yinling walked over and saw that Nanyan had woken up. She was looking at the sunset in the west, with a soft glow on her face.

"My lady, today's sunset is exceptionally beautiful."

Nan Yan curled her lips slightly and said with emotion: "Yes! It seems that even the sunset is congratulating us."

Just as she finished speaking, Nan Yan heard Le Xuan's voice, "Mother, are you awake?"

She turned around and saw her four children walking towards her hand in hand.

Her expression softened, "Well, now that mother has woken up, what did you do this afternoon?"

Le Xuan broke free from Le Yu and Le Ci's hands and ran towards Nan Yan, who took the opportunity to hug him tightly.

The little guy's chubby body instantly filled Nan Yan's arms.

"Mother, my brother told us a story this afternoon."

"You two little rascals must be making trouble to let the emperor talk about it!"

"Hee hee hee……"

After the truth was exposed by Nan Yan, the little guy smiled embarrassedly.

While they were talking, several other children also walked up to Nan Yan.

Le Yu let go of Le Ci's hand and said, "Mother, I want to tell them myself."

"Yu'er, you can't spoil them like this. What if they become lawless?" Nan Yan said with a look of disapproval.

Ever since Le Xuan and Le Ci could speak, their family has become one of strict father and strict mother, and kind brother and kind sister.

"Mother, Xuan'er and Ci'er are young but very sensible." Le Zhi couldn't help but interrupt.

"Alright, alright, mother, I won't say any more. Mother knows that Xuan'er and Ci'er are very sensible." Nan Yan surrendered quickly, otherwise her head would have exploded if they said something to her.

Just then the aroma of food wafted over and Nan Yan got up from the recliner.

"Let's go! Let's go eat."

In the evening, Nan Yan wrote a letter about the war situation and sent it to Shang Yue's tent.

Although news about the war in the capital would be sent to Shang Yue urgently, it would not be as fast as her.

Shang Yuan headed south, preparing to flee to his own territory, Ganzhou. But then he thought, since Shang Yue had known about his rebellion in advance, he must have set up a trap on the way back to Ganzhou to catch him.

He changed direction and fled westward, occupying Jincheng in the west.

Lu Wei led his troops to station more than 20 miles away from Jincheng and started a protracted war with Shang Yuan.

Fortunately, Dashang had a bumper harvest today, especially potatoes, which was enough to supply food to two places.

As for the border, Yuan Anchen's calculations failed again. Not only did he fail to defeat Shang Yue, but he also lost another city. It seemed that the news of Shang Yuan's rebellion did not pose any threat to him.

Soon, he understood why Shang Yuan could not influence Shang Yue.

Shang Yuan was attacked from both sides and was defeated and fled to a state capital in the west.

Yuan Anchen slumped down on his chair with a look of dejection, muttering, "Could it be that neither of us can bring down Shang Yue?"

The blows one after another eroded his self-confidence little by little.

With Lü Wei on Shang Yuan's side, Shang Yue devoted himself to the war with the Yuan Dynasty.

Shang Yue did not fight with all his strength in the previous battles, but now he used all his strength to fight the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was almost defeated, and after they captured one city after another, winter came.

It is not a suitable season for fighting.

There are only two cities left to reach the Yuan Dynasty's capital, Yuandu, and the Yuan Emperor is becoming more and more panicked. This time they fully realize how terrifying Shang Yue is.

At the suggestion of all officials in the court, he submitted a letter of surrender to the Shang Dynasty.

Yuan Anchen was unwilling when he learned that Emperor Yuan submitted the letter of surrender to Shang Yue, but he knew that this was inevitable, otherwise what would happen to so many people of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, an envoy from the Yuan Dynasty has arrived, saying he is here to submit a letter of surrender." Ruan Yufeng walked in and said.

Shang Yue looked at the military book in his hand, without even raising his head, and said calmly: "Let the envoys go back! Tell them that I do not agree to a ceasefire."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ruan Yufeng smiled only after he left Shang Yue's study.

He had the same idea as the emperor and did not want to stop the war.

It's not that he likes war, but in just twenty years, the Yuan Dynasty has provoked war twice. If we let them go again this time, they might come back again, so it's better to solve it all at once.

It is not surprising that the envoys from the Yuan Dynasty were driven back. Now the Shang Dynasty is invincible. It is only a matter of time before they take down the Yuan Dynasty. Why bother with peace talks?

"Rejected, rejected...then what should we do?" When Emperor Yuan heard that Da Shang refused to negotiate, his body suddenly went limp.

"The century-old foundation of the Great Yuan Dynasty is about to be destroyed in my hands. How can I face our ancestors after my death?"

He was full of regret and wished he could go back to more than a year ago. He would definitely not provoke a war between the two countries.

Even if Emperor Yuan regrets it, time will not go back to the past.

Seeing that the Shang Dynasty was now so powerful, other countries inevitably wanted to make friends with it and explicitly stated that they wanted to send troops to help the Shang Dynasty fight the Yuan Dynasty, but all of them were rejected by Shang Yue.

They have the ability to take down the Yuan Dynasty themselves, so why should they owe a favor to other countries for nothing?

Although they were angry at being rejected so bluntly, they knew that they had no reason to be angry and accuse Da Shang of hating him.

The Yuan Dynasty asked other countries for reinforcements, but was rejected every time.

The fact that Shang Yue was able to firmly grasp the situation and win amidst external and internal troubles shows how powerful they were. They would not offend the powerful Shang for the sake of a country that was about to perish.

Once they take action, it will be as easy for Da Shang to crush them as it is to crush an ant.

The winter was too cold and the soldiers could not bear it, so the Shang Dynasty stopped attacking and the Yuan Dynasty had a chance to buffer.

During the cold winter, the Yuan Dynasty trained its troops all day long and did not dare to slack off at all.

Shang Yue clearly stated that there would be no ceasefire, and at that time they could only resist to the death.
