Chapter 151 The fox pretends to be the tiger's power
Xue Ruanruan returned to the General's Mansion, her heart heavy. This mansion, once a place of glory for her father, was now filled with sorrow and loss. Every step she took was excruciatingly painful, as if the whole world was pressing down on her.
She slowly walked into the hall and saw her mother sitting there, staring blankly ahead. Her mother's face was pale and bloodless, as if she had lost all vitality.
"Mother..." Xue Ruanruan called softly, her voice filled with endless sorrow.
The mother looked up at Xue Ruanruan, a flicker of pain and despair in her eyes. Her lips trembled as she tried to say something, but ultimately no sound came out.
Xue Ruanruan walked to her mother's side, held her hand tightly, and felt her mother's coldness and helplessness. She knew that her mother had lost all hope, and she herself had fallen into deep despair.
In this sorrowful general's mansion, Xue Ruanruan and her mother rely on each other, sharing the blows of fate. They don't know what the future holds, but they know that no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will face them with strength, for this is the spirit of their family.
Murong Xun returned to the Regent's Palace. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw the steward standing there. Upon seeing him, the steward immediately went up to him and said respectfully, "Your Highness, you've returned."
Murong Xun nodded and strode into the mansion, asking as he went, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Murong Xun strode forward, the steward following closely behind. A hint of hesitation crossed the steward's face, but he still answered softly, "Your Highness, it's nothing serious, just some trivial matters." Hearing this, Murong Xun didn't stop, but went straight into his study. Once inside, Murong Xun plopped down in a chair, then rubbed his temples, seemingly weary. He looked up at the steward and said calmly, "Speak, what trivial matters?"
The steward stood before him and said, "Your Highness, Her Majesty the Empress has sent someone to invite you to the palace, saying that she has important matters to discuss."
Murong Xun frowned, his tone tinged with doubt and confusion. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were pondering something important. He gently stroked his chin and slowly asked, "The Empress? What does she want with me?" His question was full of curiosity and inquiry, as if he wanted to reveal the hidden truth behind the brief inquiry.
The steward replied, "The messenger did not specify what it was about, only that Her Majesty the Empress requests that you come to the palace as soon as possible."
Murong Xun frowned, pondered for a moment, then nodded in understanding and waved for the other person to leave. His eyes held a deep thoughtfulness, as if he were silently weighing various possibilities. After the other person left, Murong Xun sat quietly, lost in thought. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, producing a crisp sound, as if conversing with the thoughts deep within his heart. A tranquil yet tense atmosphere permeated the room; only his breathing and the tapping intertwined, creating a unique scene.
The steward nodded respectfully and then slowly withdrew from the room. Murong Xun stood up, straightened his robes, and stepped out of the study. He went to the courtyard and quietly instructed the servants to prepare a magnificent carriage and everything needed for entering the palace.
Soon after, an exquisite carriage pulled up at the gate. Murong Xun boarded and headed towards the palace. The carriage was luxuriously decorated; soft cushions and fine silk curtains created a sense of comfort and elegance. Murong Xun sat in his seat, contemplating the situation he was about to face.
As the sound of hooves rang out, the carriage gradually made its way towards the palace gates. Murong Xun was filled with anticipation and nervousness; he knew this trip to the palace was of paramount importance to him. He hoped to meet with the emperor, express his thoughts and suggestions, and also hoped to gain more support and resources.
When the carriage arrived at the palace gates, Murong Xun took a deep breath and composed himself. He stepped out of the carriage and onto the road leading into the palace. The guards along the way bowed respectfully, while Murong Xun maintained his composure as he walked step by step into the depths of the palace.
In that instant of exchanging smiles, their hearts seemed to communicate; without words, their emotions were conveyed. This profound emotional resonance brought them closer and strengthened their bond. Xue Ruanruan, holding Xue Li's small hand, quietly gazed at the tall figure in the distance—her father. His back was tall and imposing, like an unbreakable mountain. His steps were steady and powerful, each one carrying unwavering conviction. His shoulders were broad and strong, as if capable of bearing the weight of the entire world. His eyes were deep and resolute, revealing boundless wisdom and strength.
Xue Ruanruan was filled with awe and admiration for her father. He was her role model and her support. She knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges she encountered, her father would be by her side, giving her strength and support.
Murong Xun stood tall and elegant, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He wore a black brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and black boots. His posture was upright, like a pine tree. His handsome face carried a touch of cold arrogance, which made people fall in love with him.
He was a formidable regent, wielding immense power and commanding a vast army. His eyes were deep and cold, seemingly able to see through everything. A faint smile always played on his lips, making his thoughts impossible to fathom.
In the imperial court, his word was law, and no one dared to easily disobey his decrees. His voice was deep and magnetic, each word carrying an unquestionable authority.
On the battlefield, he was an invincible war god, leading his army into battle and killing countless enemies. His figure was like a ghost, impossible to catch.
His coldness and ruthlessness inspired both awe and fear in people, yet they couldn't resist his charisma. He was a legend, an undeniable presence.
Thousands of miles away, chaos reigned, dust billowed, and battle cries shook the heavens. On the ancient battlefield, two armies clashed, banners obscuring the sun, and the glint of swords flashing. Soldiers clad in heavy armor, wielding sharp blades, their eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve.
The thunder of hooves echoed through the sky as cavalry charged towards the enemy lines like a whirlwind, brandishing their lances and engaging in fierce combat. On the battlefield, blood flowed like rivers, corpses piled high, and the stench of blood filled the air.
Archers stood at the rear, bows drawn taut, arrows raining down on the enemy. Catapults launched huge stones, crashing into the enemy lines and causing immense destruction.
The generals stood on the high platform, directing the battle, their gazes resolute and their faces solemn. They knew that the outcome of this war would determine the fate of the nation.
On ancient battlefields, life and death hang in the balance; courage and wisdom are the keys to survival. Soldiers defended their beliefs and the dignity of their nation with their lives, and their heroic deeds will be remembered in the annals of history.
Xue Qing rode his warhorse, gazing at the enemy army in the distance. Their banners fluttered in the wind, their armor gleaming coldly, as if challenging Xue Qing. The enemy forces were numerous, densely packed across the battlefield, their morale high, their eyes gleaming with a thirst for battle.
The enemy generals stood at the front, exuding authority and domineering presence. Their eyes revealed a thirst for victory, and their voices echoed across the battlefield, inspiring their soldiers.
The enemy's weapons were varied, including longswords, spears, and bows and arrows. Their movements were synchronized and they were well-trained. Their attack methods were diverse; some were skilled in close combat, some in ranged attacks, some in defense, and some in surprise attacks.
Looking at the enemy army before him, Xue Qing felt a surge of pride. He knew it would be a difficult battle, but he was also confident that his army would prevail. He took a deep breath, gripped his spear tightly, and prepared to meet the enemy's attack.
The imperial court cut off the army's food supply, resulting in 100,000 soldiers lacking food and clothing, and their warhorses becoming skin and bones from hunger.
The importance of military rations is self-evident; they are the lifeline of the army. Without sufficient rations, the army's fighting capacity will be greatly reduced. This move by the imperial court undoubtedly puts 100,000 troops in danger.
In ancient times, military rations were a crucial guarantee for the army's operations. A hundred thousand soldiers needed vast amounts of food to survive, but the imperial court suddenly cut off their supplies, plunging the army into crisis. Soldiers lacked sufficient food to replenish their strength, and warhorses became weak and exhausted from hunger.
The shortage of military rations not only affects the army's combat effectiveness but may also trigger discontent and mutiny among soldiers. In the face of hunger, soldiers may lose trust in the imperial court and even choose to desert the army or launch a rebellion.
The imperial court's decision may have been driven by political, economic, or other considerations. However, regardless of the reason, cutting off the army's food supply would have severe consequences for the 100,000-strong army. They might be unable to complete their missions and could even suffer defeat in the war.
In this situation, the imperial court should resolve the military food problem as soon as possible and restore the army's supplies. At the same time, it should reflect on this incident and strengthen the management and support of the army to prevent similar situations from happening again.
The Turkic army marched south, the thunderous sound of their hooves deafening. The shouts of the Turkic soldiers mingled with the neighing of their horses, creating a deafening roar. Their warhorses were tall and powerful, their manes flying, their eyes revealing a wild spirit. Each horse seemed brimming with strength and fighting spirit, as if born for battle.
The Turkic cavalrymen rode upright on their horses, wielding long spears and scimitars, clad in heavy armor and well-equipped. Their eyes revealed determination and courage, filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle.
As the army marched south, dust billowed across the grasslands, forming a yellow cloud. The Turkic army, with the momentum of a surging tide, swept towards the enemy in the south. Their banners fluttered in the wind, displaying their majesty and power.
The people on the bustling bridge froze in shock, their eyes wide with terror as they watched what was happening before them. Some dropped what they were holding, while others screamed in panic and fled in all directions. The scene was chaotic; people didn't know how to react to this sudden turn of events. Some were even so frightened that their legs went weak and they couldn't move.
Murong Xun turned his head and immediately saw a beautiful figure standing by the lantern. It was a slender, graceful woman, her figure appearing exceptionally captivating in the lantern's glow. She wore a light blue long dress, the hem fluttering in the wind like a blooming flower. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, exuding a faint fragrance. Her face, illuminated by the lantern's light, appeared exceptionally beautiful and charming; her eyes were as bright as stars, her lips as red as cherries, and her smile as warm as a spring breeze.
Their eyes met, their gazes traversing the river of time. A deep understanding and tacit agreement shone in their eyes, as if each other's thoughts were read in that instant. Then, the corners of their mouths turned up slightly, revealing warm and natural smiles.
This smile contained boundless emotions, both joy and relief. Their smiles were like flowers blooming in spring, spreading fragrance and brightening the world around them.
The previously noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, all eyes turning towards the direction from which the sound came. A tall, imposing man in a black robe slowly approached. His steps were steady and powerful, each one seeming to resonate with the hearts of those around him. A silver mask covered most of his face, but his handsome features were still visible through his exposed chin and lips. His eyes, deep as a still pool, beneath the mask exuded an indescribable air of authority and coldness. His hair cascaded down his broad shoulders, gently brushing against his black robe, adding to his air of mystery. As he drew nearer, those around him unconsciously stepped back, as if overwhelmed by the powerful aura emanating from him.
Murong Xun had a poor reputation among the people; in fact, he was feared. He was infamous for his ruthlessness and cruelty, inspiring terror in the populace. The mere mention of his name sent shivers down their spines. This fear stemmed not only from his power and status but also from the unpredictability and unease caused by his actions. His behavior often defied logic, leaving people bewildered and filled with awe. They feared becoming the target of his wrath and suffering misfortune. Therefore, the mention of Murong Xun always evoked a chilling feeling in people's hearts.
