Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Sixth Moonlight

When the battle between Pengcheng, Ye Min and Zhu Li also launched an attack on Luoyang.

The famous general Xi Baiyao of the Northern Wei Dynasty guarded Luoyang.

He was strict in the military and was especially good at guarding. In recent years, he strengthened the city walls and dug deep trenches, which made Luoyang's business run out of water.

However, he faced Ye Min.

The Jiangdong God of War, known as the contemporary Han Xin.

After more than twenty days of confrontation, Ye Min made all kinds of tricks to erode several cities outside Luoyang, and then surrounded Luoyang City with Zhu Lidong and east.

The Thunder Cannon did not work.

Xi Baiyao used cold water to irrigate the wall. It was frozen in the cold weather and turned into ice overnight, and even the thunder cannon could not break out of the gap. However, attacking a strong city like Luoyang would inevitably lead to great casualties. After Ye Min and Zhu Li discussed it, they decided to only surround and not attack.

The core of this battle is Pengcheng and Luoyang only supports it. It is best to take the opportunity to defeat it, and it is not a big problem if it cannot defeat it.

As long as you put enough pressure on Yuanyu to be unable to transfer troops from Sizhou and Bingzhou.

This siege is March. Spring is in full bloom, and the splashing water turns into ice no longer works. The battle of Pengcheng has already been decided. People in Luoyang are panic and the morale of the Wei army is depressed. It is entirely due to Xi Baiyao's prestige that the situation is barely maintained.

That night, a loud noise suddenly heard, and half of the western wall of Luoyang was blew up by the black sky thunder. Ye Min led his army into the city. The Wei army roared and fled in scattered ways. When the battle was dawn, the establishment resistance no longer existed.

Xi Baiyao was rescued by his subordinates and crossed the Yellow River in a panic. He rode a horse and looked back. Seeing the smoke from afar, he suddenly felt sad and fell to the east. He kowtowed to the east and said, "It's really the heaven that destroyed my great Wei. I can't bear to see it. I want to turn into a ghost and keep it here forever to defend your majesty!" After saying that, he drew his sword and committed suicide.

Luoyang conquered, and to the south of the Yellow River, it all belonged to Da Chu. Ye Min acted as a crossing the Yellow River north, and his troops were aimed directly at Pingcheng.

Wei Ting was shocked!

Yuan Yu urgently summoned Yuan Mulan, and used her as an envoy, and represented the emperor and Wei State with fulfilment to Jinling to ask for Xu You to discuss the peace.

Ye Min really scared the Wei people.

"The Taiwei, the Northern Wei delegation will arrive in two days. Will it be the courtesy of the Honglu Temple or the General's Mansion be held responsible? What are the taboos to pay attention to? Also, the specifications of the courtesy are still subject to the prescribed by the Taiwei..."

The Minister of the Honglu Temple was asking for instructions, Qingming walked in, holding a box in his hand, put it in front of Xu You, and whispered: "The princess sent it."

Xu You opened the box and placed a man's brocade dress inside. The cuffs were sewn with peach leaves piled up into mountains. The lines were thick and loose, and the workmanship was not exquisite. It should be the work of a beginner.

However, the brocade garments are placed upside down, and in fact they use the allusions from the Book of Songs: the east is not clear, so the clothes are reversed. They are reversed and summoned to them from the public.

Put the clothes upside down and ask Xu You to meet before Tianming.

The location is in Taoye Mountain.

He sighed, covered the box, waved his hand, and said, "Yuan Mulan will not go to Beijing, and there is no need to make any preparations for the Honglu Temple. I will go and discuss matters with her in person. You will draft a letter of the country and wait for the final result!"

The Minister of the Honglu Temple did not understand why, but he did not dare to object. He answered respectfully and then fired and just arrived outside the mansion and met Lu Bozhi.

He had a good relationship with Lu Bo, so he hurried over and pulled him to the side and asked, "The Grand Marshal wants to negotiate with Yuan Mulan, but he doesn't choose to be in the capital. What's going on?"

Lu Bozhi smiled and said, "This is a state affairs and a private matter of the Taiwei. I told you not to worry about it, for your own good, so as not to get stuck in the middle and get angry at both ends."

The Minister of the Honglu Temple was dumbfounded and speechless.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, more than a hundred miles away from Jinling, there is a Peach Leaf Mountain, which is named after the peach leaves. Later, someone planted peach blossoms on the mountain. When it was in March and May, the mountains were blooming everywhere, and it was so beautiful.

Yuan Mulan wore a white training skirt, tied a brocade water chestnut belt with her waist, black leather matte feet, and lily bun on her head. She stood in the peach forest on the top of the mountain. The beautiful colors of heaven and earth were gathered together, just like an elf under the moonlight.

Xu You came from behind and smiled and said, "I almost couldn't recognize the princess because she changed her military uniform..."

Yuan Mulan looked back and smiled, "It's the first time I'm wearing Southern Women's Clothing. Does it look good?" She lifted her skirt and turned around, dancing and swaying, startling butterflies flying.

Xu You applauded gently and said, "It seems like the light clouds covering the moon, floating like the flowing wind returning to the snow, tender and charming in words!"

Yuan Mulan said angrily: "I am not the daughter of a Chinese family who is well-read in poetry and books. Let me put it simply."

“It looks so good!”

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Xu You stepped forward and stood side by side with Yuan Mulan on the edge of the cliff. Looking at the distance, the city of Jinling is brightly lit. After the curfew is lifted, the nightlife of the people is becoming increasingly rich, and it is very trending to build a city that never sleeps.

"I have thought about all the innovations you implemented in Jiangdong. Some are very practical, some are very radical, some are doomed to fail, but in the end they all receive positive and huge results... The place you can see in your eyes has surpassed everyone in the north and south. Now Chu has the rich Jiangdong, the horse-producing Guanzhong, the Yangtze River and the Huanghuai. The imperial examination system has gathered talents from all over the world to use them every day, and the benefits of the family, but no disaster for the family, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the soldiers are strong. I have a premonition that within five years, the Great Wei will become your part in the plate, and the Xianbei people will no longer dominate the country as the royal family, and the north and the south will reunite..."

Xu You didn't make a sound.

His ultimate plan was to destroy Wei within five years. After the Battle of Pengcheng, he injured the vitality of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is very likely that this goal will be ahead of schedule.

But, in front of Yuan Mulan, he didn't want to boast about himself.

"I am a little girl. In terms of martial arts, I am not as good as a minor one, so I can't assassinate it. In terms of military strategy, we fought, but we lost most of Yuzhou and Luozhou, so we couldn't fight."

Yuan Mulan's smile showed a bit of sadness and said, "However, I am the princess of the Great Wei Dynasty. Today I was ordered by the emperor to come to Jiangdong for peace. My father's will, at all costs, must convince you to stop the war... Weizhi, what should I use to convince you?"

Xu You was silent for a while and said, "You said, I agree."

Yuan Mulan shook her head and said, "You understand me, how can I not understand you? You can make the conditions, you can compensate, but you can not cede the land. I was granted full authority and can make the decision."

"Okay!"

Even if the person who came was not Yuan Mulan, Xu You didn't plan to speak out loud. It was really urgent. The Northern Wei still had hundreds of thousands of standing troops, especially the main force of the six towns was still there, and the time for the Northern Expedition was not ripe, so peace negotiations must be negotiated, just the amount of compensation.

One more point, one less point, has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"After talking about state affairs, I still have private matters..." Yuan Mulan said resolutely as if she had made up her mind.

"Private affairs? I will do my best to do whatever I need to do."

"Close your eyes!"

"Um?"

Xu You was stunned.

"hurry up!"

Yuan Mulan bit her lip and stamped her feet. The girl who was always heroic and handsome was rarely seen floating on two crimson reds.

Xu You closed his eyes obediently.

After a moment, the warm fragrance of nephrite came into my arms, and the smooth touch and gentleness told Xu You clearly what happened.

He didn't have much impulse. Instead, because he knew that the purpose of her doing this was to completely cut off this relationship that he shouldn't have. He felt pity and whispered: "Mu Lan, you..."

"Don't talk!" Yuan Mulan begged in a trembling tone: "While I still have the courage... Weizhi, don't refuse, don't let me hate you..."
