Chapter 55: The Crane in the Clouds Returns to the Throne

Early in the morning of May 15, Ugu 375.

The weather, which had been sunny all the time, changed the sky the night before, with thunder and lightning and heavy rain all night.

Until the early morning, the rain was still pouring down.

Occasionally, there would be bursts of muffled thunder from the sky.

However, the rain did not stop some of the things that had been planned.

The crane in the clouds still ascended the throne in Snow City, announced the restoration of the country, and officially announced to the world.

The palace music was melodious, and in the sound of the salute, the crane in the cloud wearing a yellow robe slowly ascended to the throne with the help of the inner servants and sat on the dragon chair.

Under the command of the praise officer, the ministers knelt three times and bowed nine times.

Yun Zhonghe, who was calm on the outside and sat on the throne, did not have the excitement and pride in his heart when he first ascended the throne, on the contrary, there was a faint disgust in his heart, because the pain brought to him by this position was too deep.

I can't help but recall the scenes in the past, the once short happy times have long disappeared in my memory, and all that remains is pain.

Those closest relatives, one by one, fell in pools of blood, and not even a few children survived.

The tragic scene seemed to be right in front of me, and the screaming cry seemed to be still in my ears......

If there was any other choice, he would rather never set foot in the palace again, and never sit on this dragon chair that everyone envies.

The bloody scene in the palace filled the brain of the crane in the clouds, making him almost want to roar as a vent.

However, there was a neat and loud "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The call finally brought him back to reality.

The civil and military ministers and ordinary soldiers who knelt on the ground stretched from the palace to a long distance outside the palace......

The cries were endless, resounding in the sky.

Looking at the civil and military ministers kneeling with His Royal Highness, although the number is not large, fortunately, the necessary establishment has also been selected.

The crane in the cloud sighed softly, and then shouted leisurely: "Flatβ€”β€”! ”

After the cumbersome etiquette, Yun Zhonghe issued an edict, first accusing Yun Tianxiao's usurpation of the throne as illegal in the "sudden change of wind and clouds" that year, and he must choose a day to crusade, uphold justice, and uphold the majesty of the royal family.

Then he announced a general amnesty to the world, exempted Snow City from taxes that year, and pardoned all the prisoners in Snow City from all their crimes, and they were all acquitted.

The last is to issue a decree and divide the hundred officials.

In the snowy city, the city is carnival.

I didn't expect that the mystery of the gods had been mysterious for so long, and it turned out that the emperor of the previous dynasty had come here to ascend the throne, and the people were very surprised and surprised.

Snow City has also changed from a border city to the capital of Yunyu Country in the blink of an eye.

"Ugu Monthly" also opened a special issue for this purpose, which was dedicated to the restoration celebration of Yunyu Kingdom, with a full 36 pages, all-round reports and published news about the restoration of Yunyu Kingdom, and dug deep into some little-known historical secrets.

Especially for the "sudden change in the situation" incident of that year, he made a very profound exposure and condemnation.

The spearhead also faintly pointed at the Eastern Qin State, which dominated the Yugu Continent, although it was not clearly pointed out, but everyone knew that it was the mastermind behind the "sudden change in the wind and clouds".

As a result, the "Uko Monthly" of the day was quickly sold out, and the two reprints were sold out as soon as the newspaper stalls were snapped up.

This incident was like a thunderclap, and it instantly resounded throughout the entire Ugu Continent.

Since the crane in the cloud is the authentic emperor of the Yunyu Kingdom, the so-called "those who have attained the Tao have many helps", for a while, the voice of support occupied an absolute dominant position.

With the support of the powerful information network of the beggar gang, almost all the cities in the Ugu Continent are simultaneously spreading positive information, and the orthodox status of the crane in the clouds is being promoted, and the speed of news spread far exceeds the speed that this era should have.

After returning to the apse, Yun Zhonghe and a group of cronies and close ministers also held a feast to celebrate this special day.

The crane in the cloud also looked festive, but he couldn't hide the faint worry between his eyebrows.

Mu Qianmei looked at her father and muttered for a long time before she said softly:

"Father...... Emperor, you don't have to worry, the defense work outside has been arranged. ”

She was still not used to changing her name to Father, but she knew that she would have to be called that on future occasions.

"Well, by the way, how about the news from everywhere!"

The crane in the cloud also asked with a pretended relaxation.

"Back to my father, the response from all parts of the Yunyu Kingdom is very good, as we expected, the people have recognized your orthodoxy and expressed their support, and many forces are ready to come and take refuge."

Mu Qianmei replied selectively.

"I want to know what is going on over there in the Eastern Qin Kingdom and Yun Tianxiao!"

Yun Zhonghe was not confused by Mu Qianmei's words, and went straight to the point of asking.

Mu Qianmei paused slightly before calmly answering:

"Yun Tianxiao has gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and is rushing to Snow City, and it will take ten days at most to reach Snow City, and the second batch of 100,000 soldiers and horses are already being gathered, ready to support later."

"The Eastern Qin State will also have 50,000 troops each stationed in the original Shangyan State and the Zhongwu State, and they are being transferred to the Yunyu Kingdom in two ways."

Although the voice was gentle and soft, the news was not peaceful at all, and everyone couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, with a surprised expression on their faces.

This should have been as shocking news as a shocking spring thunder, how could Mu Qianmei say it so calmly, as if she was saying an insignificant piece of news.

She was the only one still slowly drinking the soup in the bowl, looking indifferent and quiet, as if she had made up her mind.

Everyone was affected by her, and their hearts seemed to gradually calm down.

Yun Zhonghe also immediately realized that in the face of a great enemy, calmness was the best choice, so he slowly took a chopstick of food, slowly put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

The others breathed a sigh of relief and continued to drink and eat.

No one spoke for a long time.

After a while, the crane in the cloud asked in a casual tone:

"I don't know how we are going to deal with the current situation?"

Mu Qianmei didn't speak, but looked at the national teacher Jiang Yunyi.

Jiang Yunyi had no choice but to say helplessly:

"The minister thinks that in the current situation, it may be more difficult for us to stick to a city, but just after the restoration of the country and the construction of the capital, it is a little inappropriate to abandon the city, forgive the minister for being incompetent, and the minister can't solve this problem."

Mu Qianmei turned to look at Zhuang Shujun again.

Zhuang Shujun has just been awarded the title of Tai Lieutenant and has become the youngest member of the New Cloud Feather Kingdom.

"Back to the emperor, the minister also thinks that it is not appropriate for us to stick to the lonely city, and in the absence of foreign aid, we will inevitably fall into trouble if we stick to the white snow city, so the minister suggested that we can retreat to the Southern Tang Dynasty and then slowly try to do it."

Zhuang Shujun replied rigorously.

After answering, several people looked at Mu Qianmei, wondering if she had any better strategies in this situation.

Mu Qianmei thought for a while before slowly replying:

"Back to his father, the son thought that it was inevitable to be ready to retreat. However, we must not withdraw from Snow City, most of the forces on all sides are waiting and watching, if we retreat without a fight, it will definitely disappoint those who are waiting, and the support rate will drop a lot. ”

"Of course, if we are defeated and retreat, we will not only lose our troops, but also still not get recognition and support, so Erchen suggested that we should be prepared with both hands, on the one hand, we must contact the Southern Tang and Northern Han, and will borrow the border between the two countries as a base for our retreat, and while developing our strength, we will deal with the forces coming from the three sides; On the other hand, we must urgently recruit troops, replenish our own troops as soon as possible, make careful arrangements, meet Yun Xiaotian's first batch of 100,000 troops, and fight a beautiful victory in a quick and decisive way, first, to boost morale, and second, to win the confidence of the wait-and-see forces on all sides, so as to get more support. ”

Several people listened to Mu Qianmei's words and felt that she was very reasonable.

However, when I think about the comparison of troops, the opponent's 100,000 army has only 50,000 horses on its own, even if it recruits 20,000 urgently, it will only be 70,000, and how much combat power can the newly recruited people have?

It's still 50,000 against 100,000.

Such a battle, not to mention a quick victory, is still unknown!

But no one has expressed such concerns, and they are all silently considering how feasible this strategy is.

After Mu Qianmei saw everyone's instant excitement, they quickly turned worried.

She knew that several people had no confidence in this war with a huge disparity in strength.

So she further analyzed:

"One is that they were urgently summoned and came from a long journey, they belong to the tired division, and we are recuperating and waiting for work, everyone is still in a state of excitement that has just returned to the country, and they belong to the elite division, compared with the two, we have an advantage."

"Second, we are familiar with the terrain near Snow City, and we have enough time to prepare, we can make favorable arrangements in advance, and it is best to catch them off guard, we take the initiative, they are passive, and we still have the advantage."

"The most important point is that we not only possess the right time and place, but also the people. At the moment, not only do most of the people in the Cloud Feather Kingdom support us, especially all the people in Snow City, they support us, but also except for the Eastern Qin Kingdom, all other countries support our position. Therefore, in this war, we can completely fight a beautiful blitzkrieg, and lay the foundation for the restoration of the country with a perfect victory in which the few win more and the weak defeat the strong. ”

After listening to Mu Qianmei's detailed analysis, several people couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It was still the crane in the cloud that wanted to react the most, and couldn't help but nod and smile and said:

"Die'er's analysis is very reasonable, we must fight this battle, not only to win, but also to win beautifully. Okay, I have ordered Captain Zhuang to take full command of this war, with Princess Fluttershy assisting and Liu Tingfeng in charge of keeping the princess safe. ”

Jiang Guoshi and several close ministers immediately replied:

"No objection to the ministers!"

In this way, an imminent war was agreed.

In the ensuing time, the crowd discussed some specific details.
