Chapter 398

The war seemed to have been in stalemate and lasted for a month.

As time passed, February came. After a whole month, Qingxuan Army was exhausted and the damage to the East City Gate became more and more serious. Ye Lin's brows became more and more tense. He knew that all this was the strategy of the Holy See of Light.

This strategy is even obvious, just on the surface.

But Ye Lin didn't even have a way to crack it. Because in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks have lost their effect.

Kumulong is a loophole, and there is no way to make up for this loophole in the court.

The late night of the meeting hall was filled with sorrow and clouds, and the faces of each general were rainy. After several days of hard fighting, the number of casualties of the Qingxuan Army gradually expanded, and the remaining combat power was only 6,000 left.

The rest, half of them were injured and half died.

As for the law enforcement group, although Ye Lin had formulated a plan against the enemy early in the morning and the Qingxuan Army also tried his best to kill the law enforcement group, there are probably still 8,000 now.

The disadvantages of the court are becoming more and more obvious, and everyone is becoming more and more anxious.

Ye Lin's eyes were covered with bloodshot. He stayed up for several nights and never closed his eyes. Looking at the cold data, he was as irritable as a trapped beast. People died every day, and as the head coach, he could not let it go, but this was not because he couldn't think about it and torture himself.

There will definitely be casualties in war, Ye Lin knows better than anyone else. However, what is the value of those dead Qingxuan soldiers’ deaths?

Their sacrifice of their lives cannot reverse the situation. Instead, the situation is getting worse and worse due to the decrease in personnel.

In the view of the Holy See of the Light, the defeat of the imperial court is only a matter of time.

Although it cannot be neat and cut the flesh with a blunt knife, it is very tormenting. The Holy See of Light just wants to polish the patience and will of the court, and it is best to cause internal strife and struggle within the court.

What a sinister intention!

It is conceivable how much mental pressure the senior officials of the court have been under recently. Even Ye Lin could not help but wonder whether the Holy See had already spyed on the secrets of heaven to make such a smooth journey.

Fortunately, the balance of war has not been completely tilted.

On the third day of the second month, good news came from the north! Xiao Hou had successfully quelled the rebellion of the northern army seven days ago!

It took more than three months, and the battles between all and big and small was more than twenty times. Xiao Hou led his troops to be brave and broke the courage of the 100,000 northern troops. Except for those who died in battle, all the rest surrendered.

The subsequent army reorganization and return journey took half a month. On February 15th, Xiao Hou led 70,000 troops and 50,000 surrendered troops to return to Shenfeng City!

When Guangxi got the news, he jumped up with joy. His depression and illness were wiped out and his whole body was refreshed. He couldn't wait to go to the conference hall and finally saw Xiao Hou who returned victoriously.

Guangxi said excitedly without any hesitation: "It's considered that he has been waiting for the marquis to come back. Thank you for your hard work in this battle!"

Mr. Xiao lost weight and became much darker, but his toughness and cold Yi were even more obvious. He looked like a sharp blade with a sheath, very sharp.

"The last general dare not take credit. In this battle, although he annihilated more than 40,000 enemies and captured 50,000 soldiers, he asked the rebel minister Cheng Ye to escape." Xiao Hou said ashamedly: "The last general is guilty, so I will punish him for the crime of descending to the palace."

When Guangxi heard this, although the smile on his face was faint, it was not completely wiped out. "Cheng Ye is cunning and ruthless, with thousands of troops on the battlefield. If he wants to escape, he can always find an opportunity."

This is true.

Cheng Ye is indeed a villain who uses any means. In order to seize the power of the old general Cheng, he can tie up the old general Cheng and kill his confidants. His ambitions are so great that he will cause trouble, not only abandon the Cheng family, but also put the Cheng family in an unjust situation.

During the war, he was able to abandon the entire army and flee alone, which shows that he was extremely vicious and inhumane.

If it weren't for the time when the empire was at stake, and Xiao Hou was compassionate, why did Feng Yi both fight each other? If it were a general, it would be impossible for these 50,000 people to be killed on the spot.

The northern army followed Cheng Ye to rebel, and was also a traitor. Although this was not the original intention of the entire army, the soldiers were slight and had no choice.

If Cheng Ye doesn't follow Cheng Ye to plot against them, Cheng Ye can deal with them.

Although this battle was not perfect, Guangxi still encouraged Xiao Hou. In front of outsiders, a beautiful picture of a king, saint, minister and wise man was shown.

It’s not that Guangxi doesn’t mind Cheng Ye’s escape, but he can tell the difference between priorities. Cheng Ye only has dozens of personal guards to escape, and it’s hard to make waves now.

When Xiao Hou returned to the rescue, a team of troops and guards in Shenfeng City could also solve the urgent problem. After the war was over, Guangxi would free up his hands and naturally would not be able to spare Cheng Ye!

After a few days after Xiao Hou left Beijing, Guangxi allowed him to go back to the house to take a look and then go to the front line to play.

So Hou Xiao returned to the Hou's Mansion, and soon after, he went out again to visit his second daughter Xiao Xuan, who is now the Regent's Princess.

Before, Guangxi was sick, so he only had to take care of the royal palace for a few days and soon returned to the front line. Now she had not seen Guangxi for half a month. When her father arrived, she wanted to ask Xiao Hou about Guangxi's physical condition.

Xiao Hou didn't know that Guangxi had been exhausted before, so he only comforted Xiao Xuan and asked her to relax. He would take care of Guangxi after he went to the front line.

Then he went to see Xiao Bing again. He had just returned to the city and had to learn about the current situation.

From Xiao Bing, it is a very good choice.

Although Xiao Xuan and Xiao Bing are sisters, their temperaments and abilities are very different. Xiao Xuan is a typical noble girl from the noble family, but Xiao Bing is an excellent female general.

Xiao Bing was very happy to see his father. Xiao Bing was straightforward and Xiao Bing knew everything.

From the initial conspiracy to burn food and grass, to the later anxiety, the court became increasingly disadvantaged.

The more Xiao Hou heard, the calmer his face became.

No wonder Guangxi not only did not blame himself, but was not only very considerate, but also encouraged him. It turned out that the law enforcement group had a fierce offensive and the court could not resist.

Xiao Bing looked at Xiao Hou and said earnestly: "If you fight, your father must pay attention to his own safety. If possible, please ask your father to take care of King Yu."

When Xiao Hou heard this, he looked at Xiao Bing with a strange look, "Why is this? Binger, aren't you..."

"Of course not!" Xiao Bing saw a strange look in his eyes and quickly denied: "It's not what my father thought! It's just that his daughter thinks that His Highness, King Yu, is the backbone of the court. In addition, the two third-rank strong men are also his friends, so King Yu's safety is also crucial."

Xiao Hou glanced at Xiao Bing suspiciously and reluctantly believed this statement.

Xiao Bing cannot explain too much in the specific situation. After all, her relationship with Ye Lin is a senior sister and brother, and no one knows it yet, including Xiao Hou.
