Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 20 The war begins and the Kyoto drama begins!
After hearing Liu Su's words, Yang Xiu just nodded.

Although he knew that this battle was very dangerous, he did not say anything about not letting his parents go.

The Yang family’s current status is all due to the hard work of the parents.

Those are all great military achievements.

Yang Xiu said: "This battle is so big! It's very serious! Mother, you and father must be careful!"

Liu Su smiled and said, "Don't worry! I have been through all the ups and downs over the years! I will be fine! Besides, do you really think that the guards around your mother are vegetarians?"

Liu Su chatted with Yang Xiu for a few more words.

Mainly to explain some trivial matters.

Time passes quickly day by day.

Three days later, we arrived at the gate of Beijing.

Zhan Doudou stood in the first place, followed by a group of civil and military officials.

Today is the day when Emperor Qi goes to war.

All civil and military officials need to come out to see them off.

The Emperor of Qi sat on a black warhorse.

Behind him followed the majestic imperial guards.

After the imperial guards, there were generals who accompanied the troops on the expedition.

Yang Xiu's parents, his guards, and Uesugi Tora were among them.

Yang Xiu, Qingniao and Ren Ruyi stood on the city wall.

Looking at the huge crowds of people below.

Ren Ruyi said, "Your Highness, aren't we going down to see the prince and princess off?"

Yang Xiu waved his hand: "No need, didn't we have a farewell dinner last night? This is all for the people to see!"

Yang Xiu looked at Emperor Qi who was boosting morale and had to admit it.

To be able to become an emperor, he must have good eloquence.

In just a few words, the national hatred and family feuds were exposed.

Now the morale of the entire Qi army and the people is high.

If there was a person from Nanqing at this time, he would probably be torn to pieces by them.

Ren Ruyi said, "Your Highness, you said that the scale of this war is very large! It is very dangerous. Do you need to send the Red Guards to protect the prince and princess?"

Yang Xiu shook his head: "The Zhuyi Guards are not numerous, and they have not yet grown up! Besides, the Zhuyi Guards' advantage has never been on the battlefield! There is not much that can be done on this frontal battlefield!"

Ren Ruyi quickly cupped his hands: "I am incompetent!"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "What does it have to do with you! Zhu Yiwei is good at assassination and intelligence gathering! You are not soldiers, you are an organization! Don't use your weaknesses to do things you are not good at!"

Ren Ruyi nodded and said, "I have learned your lesson. So we are going to do nothing?"

Yang Xiu smiled.

Seeing that the Emperor of Qi below had mobilized his emotions, the army began to move.

Yang Xiu put his hands behind his back, turned around and said, "Of course not, but not now! Let's go, the army is leaving, the big show in Shangjing will start soon!"

Yang Xiu was very honest in the following days, going to and from the palace on time every day.

Life is very comfortable.

During this period, the court was not peaceful.

The Emperor of Qi led the army in person, but the crown prince Zhan Doudou was too young.

Before leaving, Emperor Qi asked the Queen to act as regent.

Although it is said that since ancient times the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

But there is no way, because the situation in Qi is special.

However, the Emperor of Qi was not a fool.

He only gave the queen the right to annotate cinnabar.

All decisions require consultation among all civil and military officials in the court.

Nowadays, the military generals in the court have almost nothing to show for themselves.

All those who were in high positions and had great power were taken away by the Emperor of Qi.

After all, to put it more seriously, this war is a battle for the country's destiny.

If Northern Qi lost, it might really be destroyed.

Even if Ku He was there, he was alone and could only protect them all the way to the capital.

The entire Northern Qi was so big that it was impossible for him to protect it all.

Therefore, this battle is very important!
Therefore, the highest-ranking official in the court was the Prime Minister of Northern Qi, Du Hang!

It can be said that more than 90% of the policies of Northern Qi now come from Du Hang. However, when a person's power becomes more and more important, ambition will inevitably arise.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

The war on the border has become increasingly intense.

A large number of lives were lost on the battlefield which was like a meat grinder.

Battle reports from the border were delivered to Shangjing City one by one every day.

Some were sent to the Queen, and some were sent to Du Hang.

Of course, some were also delivered to Yang Xiu.

Zhennan Palace.

Yang Xiu frowned and looked at the battle report in his hand.

Something is wrong. Northern Qi is losing ground.

If it weren't for the border towns guarding the area, the border troops of Nanqing would have invaded the territory of Da Qi.

However, although the border town is easy to defend and difficult to attack, according to the battle report, it will only take at most two months to survive.

The border town will definitely fall.

This is different from the record in the original novel. In the original novel, Northern Qi won a tragic victory in the end.

This bought Northern Qi sixteen years of development time. Later, after Fan Xian entered Kyoto, the war broke out again and Northern Qi was defeated.

Yang Xiu tapped the table with his fingers, thinking.

Is it because of my appearance that there is a butterfly effect?

Shaking his head, Yang Xiu felt it was unlikely.

After all, his appearance brought about the appearance of two characters that were not in the original work, Yang Hu and Liu Su.

Both of my parents are experts in leading troops.

Most of his subordinates are elite.

Even if there is a butterfly effect, it can only make it easier to win.

The current situation would never happen.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Xiu felt that there was only one possibility.

That is, there will be a turning point in this battle.

But what was the turning point?

Yang Xiu thought hard but still couldn't figure it out.

Just then, the blue bird came with a report.

"Your Highness! Shen Zhong requests an audience!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Yes! Let him in!"

Not long after, Qingniao brought Shen Zhong to Yang Xiu's courtyard.

Shen Zhong looked a little anxious.

"See Your Highness!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Yes! Are you here for the border battle report?"

Shen nodded: "Yes, Your Highness! I received the war report this morning! The border war is now intense! Moreover, the atmosphere in Shangjing is a little strange!"

"Ok, I know!"

Shen Zhong was surprised and asked, "Your Highness knows? Then please tell us, Your Highness, what should we do?"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "Wait!"

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Shen Zhong was very confused.

Yang Xiu said: "Wait until the fox shows its tail! When the battle report from the border comes back, I believe this fox will soon be unable to hide!"

Shen Zhong didn't quite understand: "But Your Highness! Shouldn't we nip the danger in the bud?"

Yang Xiu shook his head and did not explain to Shen Zhong.

At this time, Ren Ruyi came to the courtyard.

Glanced at Shenzhong.

Yang Xiu said: "Ruyi, just say it directly! There is no harm!"

Ren Ruyi nodded: "Your Highness, there is something unusual happening in Du Hang's mansion! An hour ago, the deputy general of the Imperial Guard Liu Kang, Li Tengda, and several ministers from the court gathered at Du Hang's mansion!"

Shen Zhong heard this.

His eyes suddenly widened: "The deputy commander of the imperial guards and the prime minister? How dare this deputy commander of the imperial guards associate with an official in the court, especially the chief official in the court!"
