In order to stay away from Lian Yao's army, in the early morning of the next day, the army rose up and headed towards Mucheng.
Of course, Mubei Rong would not be so cruel.
He took away the food and grass needed along the way, and there were still some left in Mucheng.
Quite a few According to the news, Lian Yao brought an army of 100,000 people.
Although it was not too much, it was enough to last for a few days when Northern Xinjiang attacked, enough for Yao Li to send reinforcements.
At the current border fortress, only the local officers and soldiers originally stationed there, about a few thousand people, are completely confused about the sudden withdrawal of the army.
But when he saw that King Rong was leading the team, he thought it was a transfer from the imperial court and asked Dai Hu.
Dai Hu just said that someone would take over tomorrow and dismissed him.
The half-a-million-strong army was so majestic that it was naturally much slower.
Rong Lema from Makubei looked back at the gradually distant border fortress, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
It wouldn't take long for this place to become a battlefield filled with smoke.
How many soldiers will be sacrificed and how many people will be displaced by then.
He has been tired of fighting for too long, but these mundane things cannot be thrown away if he wants to.
The world is in chaos, where should we go?
His heart moved, when will there be no war?
As long as there is division, there will be war.
If there was a war to unify the world, there would be no such thing.
It seemed like this was the first time Mu Beirong had thought of such a thing.
Perhaps the first person I thought of was Huangfu Ji, but their goals were different.
Huangfu Ji was for ambition and conquest, while he was for peace and stability.
He has his own army and the most powerful weapons.
Why not give it a try?
His chest is surging with worship.
The world is unified.
No one can do anything about this emperor.
There will be no more wars.
He can be left to his father, to his children, or even to Yao Che.
At that time, he can truly retire, quietly take his beloved woman, live his own life, and truly live for himself.
After the army left for a day, Lian Yao led his army to the frontier fortress.
Looking at the border fortress that could be said to be in a state of depression, Lian Yao's eyebrows jumped: "What the hell is going on?"
The soldiers guarding the city hurriedly said: "General, yesterday the entire army evacuated the border fortress."
Lian Yao frowned: "Who allowed them to evacuate wherever they went?"
"Prince Rong took this away personally.
He only asked his subordinates to give this to you.
He didn't say anything else."
"Mu Bei Rong" Lian Yao's face turned dark.
After defeating an army of 500,000, Mu Bei Rong obviously refused to obey Yao Li and wanted to rebel.
Lian Yao opened the letter, and there were only two messages in it.
First, they would never recognize Yao Li's identity.
They would support the new master and regain the throne.
Second, the northern border would attack the southern border within a month, so he could get reinforcements in advance.
"Bastard" Lian Yao stomped his feet angrily This is an army of 500,000 people.
Such a move by Mubei Rong will seriously damage the vitality of the southern territory, let alone he will use this army of 500,000 people to deal with them in turn.
But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do, and he hurriedly called his men: "Send someone to inquire about the news in Northern Xinjiang.
Send a letter to my father, truthfully report the situation here, and ask him to send more reinforcements."

Yao Li seemed to have ascended the throne, but he seemed to have accepted the worst possible country, suffering enemies from both sides.
Besides, he never believed that Yao Li was a monarch who could support a country.
If it were him, he would rather admire Yao Che, but his ideas have always been useless, and he can't change what his father decided.
Three days later, the army finally arrived at the Fortress to enter the city.
The gates of the Fortress were tightly closed.
No one could enter or leave.
From then on, the Fortress remained the same and did not belong to any country.
There are still many people who are confused, but in addition to taking care of Mu Xiao, Song Qing has joined hands with the Xiao family to prepare for the re-appointment of the city lord of Mu City.
All the previously trustworthy old troops were recalled, the palaces in the Forbidden City were reorganized and renovated, and the army was rearranged.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
But now everyone is still living in Xiao Mansion.
In the hall, except for Mu Xiao, almost everyone is here.
Song Qing is sitting at the head: "Everyone is here, I will solemnly announce that the city lord is now poisoned and unconscious." , even if the poison is detoxified, he will not have the energy to take care of the entire Mucheng.
Moreover, what is facing now is the conflict between the Three Kingdoms, so the city lord will be taken over by Beirong."
Everyone nodded.
This matter was what everyone expected.
Makubei Rong was young, had strong martial arts skills, and was strategic.
It was perfect for him to serve as the city lord.
"In addition, regarding Ah Shu's identity."
Song Qing looked at Yao Shu who was sitting upright: "I personally only recognize this daughter-in-law, and will never allow Beirong to marry again, but after all, she is the princess of the southern border.
In order to block the To silence some people, we must announce her identity as the granddaughter of the Xiao family."
Xiao Qingtian also nodded in agreement: "After all, Mucheng was once attacked by the Southern Territory, and some people will definitely have a grudge against the Southern Territory."
Yao Shu never paid attention to these and nodded to show her understanding.
Xiao Qingtian continued: "In the past ten years, the gates of the curtain city have been wide open, and there is mutual communication with the southern border.
Few people in our curtain city have gone out, but many people have come from the southern border.
I suggest that after the news is announced, in our curtain city The people in the south of the city can choose to stay or leave voluntarily, and those who stay forcefully have no meaning to our city."
Song Qing nodded: "What do you think?"
Mu Beirong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Except for some very loyal aristocratic families in the old Mucheng department, I will not reuse any other veterans."
"What?"
Xiao Qingtian frowned: "Why is this?"
"I agree."
It was Song Qing who spoke up: "Many of the old ministers of the emperor and courtiers are already old and have been away from the court for a long time, so they are not suitable to continue to hold important positions.
But Beirong has many people around him in recent years.
He is a young man and his confidant, which is very important for his management and execution."
Xiao Qingtian thought for a long time before nodding: "Well, Madam has thought carefully, but I am afraid that some people will have opinions."
"Just arrange a casual job.
The important position must be mine."
Mubei Rong doesn't like some pedantic and conservative ministers, especially in the current situation, let alone Especially given the current situation, there is no need for him.
What he wants is someone who is knowledgeable and courageous, and can execute his orders 100%.
It took about ten days to prepare all this.
Gao Xin issued an announcement and summoned the people.
On December 1, this day was officially announced.
The day before, Song Qing and his wife, Yao Shu, and Mu Beirong had already moved into the Mucheng Palace.
The palace in Mucheng was not as big and boundless as the southern one, but it was still majestic.
Early this morning, Yao Shu was called by the palace servants and began to dress up.

Yao Shu seldom wore makeup because her skin was white and tender, which was pleasing to the eye.
But today, when she dressed up, she looked astonishingly beautiful.
Her eyebrows were as bright as daisy, her eyes were as charming as smoke, and her red lips lit up her entire face, stunning everyone in the palace.
"Madam is so beautiful," a little girl sighed.
Yao Shu smiled slightly.
Although she didn't care much about appearance, she still wanted to match Mu Beirong's evil face.
Her long hair was tied up, and she put on the crown of Madam Mucheng.
She looked noble and graceful.
Then Yao Shu stood up and let several palace maids change her clothes.
The formal attire in Mucheng was different from that in the southern region.
It was dark black with golden phoenix embroidered on it.
Fortunately, Yao Shu's belly was not too big and could not be seen at all in the formal attire.
Just after finishing his clothes, Mu Beirong stepped in from the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw Yao Shu.
Even though he saw Yao Shu every day, he still felt fond of her.
Yao Shu was unusually shy and felt that meeting like this was a bit too formal.
Mu Bei Rong's clothes were also dark black, and hers was definitely a couple's outfit, with dragons and phoenixes in harmony.
His hair is crowned, and the crown he wears has twelve hairpins in front, which hang down to his eyebrows, making his eyebrows darker and darker.
Domineering and looking down on the world, it seems that it was born for him.
"My dear wife, let's go," Mu Beirong said, with a teasing tone that instantly brought him back to the image he had when facing her before.
Yao Shu smiled, yes, no matter how majestic and domineering he is, he will always face outsiders, but he will always be so gentle towards himself.
No matter where he goes, no matter how high his status and achievements are, this man will always face others.
To her, he is her husband Yao Shu smiled and put her hand into his warm palm.
No matter what, she would be with him, whether she was smiling proudly in the world or enjoying herself in the world.
Mu Beirong led Yao Shu up the tall tower step by step.
The people below the tower were already surrounded, whispering and discussing.
"Everyone, be quiet."
The person who spoke was the highly respected Xiao Qingtian.
Everyone in Mucheng knew about the old man of the Xiao family.
Sure enough, the crowd gradually calmed down, and Xiao Qingcai continued: "I have called everyone together today because there is something important to announce.
From today on, whether our Mucheng will break away from the southern border Mucheng or Mucheng will become our own country."
The crowd fell silent, perhaps not realizing what it meant.
Gao Xin said at this time: "I am Gao Xin, the former lord of the city of Mucheng.
Ten years ago, Mucheng was plotted by the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, and the city lord and his wife were kidnapped.
The southern border took the opportunity to attack again, so it fell But our young master did not die.
For ten years, he endured hardships, endured hardships, and became stronger.
He became a illustrious general in the southern border and was named King Rong.
The young master plans step by step to save the city lord and his wife, gather the army, and regain the curtain city.
Today, the curtain city is back in our own hands.
Today is the day when the young master ascends the throne.
Welcome the city lord and his wife."
Some of the crowd were shocked, some were happy, and some were excited.
Mu Bei Rong held Yao Shu's hand and stood in front, saying loudly: "Maybe no one knows that King Rong of the southern border is the young master of Mu City, I Mu.
Beirong, today we have restored the Tokugawa in an upright and dignified manner.
There are 600,000 troops in the Tokugawa guarding our Tokugawa.
Beirong swears that I will never let anyone deceive me, the people of Tokugawa."

"Meet the City Lord" "Meet the City Lord" The people knelt down one after another.
The beloved Shogun clan in the past returned to the Tokugawa Palace.
They were naturally delighted that the Hundreds of years of rule by the Shogun clan made them only recognize this one monarch.
Xiao Qingtian waited for the people to calm down before introducing again: "This is the wife of the city lord.
Everyone must know that King Rong married Princess Wenyi of the Southern Territory, and everyone also knows that the old man's daughter is the empress of the Southern Territory, Princess Wenyi.
Yao Shu is the old granddaughter of the Xiao family."
"Meet the Madam of the City Lord" The people are simple and honest.
They don't have so much ambition or ambition, and they won't give advice to the city lord's wife.
Besides, she is Xiao Qingtian's granddaughter, and no one can say anything.
The enthronement lasted until noon, and it was finally over.
Beirong was worried about Yao Shu and asked her to rest.
However, he himself had to meet with ministers and appoint positions.
He had just ascended the throne, so he might be busy for a few days.
Yao Shu returned to the palace and immediately asked the palace maid to help her unload these heavy things.
Her physical strength was indeed not as good as before.
Other things were better, but her back was very sore.
Yun Chu followed up, made Yao Shu lie on her side, and massaged her skillfully.
Gu Nianmeng sat and drank water.
She was extremely excited.
She spent the whole morning running around among the ministers, either she knew them or her parents knew them well. .
"I'm afraid I won't have much time to do in the future."
Yun Chu sighed.
None of them like the kind of strict people who go to court every day to approve their mistakes.
In Yao Shu's mind, she also pictured Mu Beirong, who was serious, sitting at the desk and reading booklets one by one.
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was not suitable for him.
Yun Chu kept his hands on his hands and turned to look at Gu Nianmeng, who had had enough to drink and had some snacks: "I'm afraid Xiao Qian can't accompany you to have fun.
Now that Mu City is short of people, the city lord has to focus on promoting his confidants and young people.
Those members of the Xiao family will definitely not be able to escape."
Gu Nianmeng sighed softly: "Who says it's not the case?
Xiao Qian was asked by Mr.
Xiao to lecture him early in the morning.
He, Xiao Song, and their brother-in-law, no one can hide."
Even so, everyone is happy with today's situation.
Mucheng is like their own home, and everyone is willing to contribute to their own home.
It wasn't until nightfall that Mu Beirong came back.
He was still in high spirits.
When he entered the door, he first asked Yao Shu: "Have you eaten?"
Yao Shu shook her head: "Not yet, you "Not yet, you've finished it" Mubei Rong lifted his robe and sat down: "The position of minister was appointed today."
"What about tomorrow?"
"Let's talk tomorrow."
Mu Bei Rong was not tired, but he was hungry.
When dinner was served, he took some for Yao Shu and started eating.
"Do I need to go to court?"
Yao Shu asked.
Going to court had to be very early every day.

"No need."
Mu Beirong smiled: "The first thing I announce today is to abolish the morning dynasty."
"Ah" Yao Shu paused her chopsticks: "Without the morning court, how can we handle political affairs?
And will those ministers agree?"
"This is the advantage of using one's own confidants.
Opposition voices are suppressed before they arise.
As for deliberation, we have two hours of deliberation time in the study every morning.
If there are important matters, we can do it alone."
That's fine, Yao Shu agreed: "Even so, I will be very busy in the future."
"Yes."
Mu Beirong smiled: "But fortunately, there are people to share the burden."
"Who are you, uncle?"
Yao Shu then remembered: "What positions have you arranged for them?"
"Xiao Song is the minister, Xiao Qian is the captain, and my brother-in-law is the assistant minister."
Yao Shu raised her eyes and looked at him: "It means that my uncle has the heaviest burden."
Mu Beirong took it for granted: "It's a pity that my uncle's talent is wasted, and I trust him the most, so naturally I let him hold the most important position."
"The most important thing is that you can relax."
Yao Shu really couldn't figure out what the two people were openly and secretly competing against.
Mu Beirong smiled: "You can't say that.
After all, compared to political affairs, I know more about military affairs, so everyone can show their strengths."
It is true to say that if a war breaks out one day, the affairs of the DPRK and Central Government can only be left to Xiao Qingli, who is trustworthy and capable.
Despite this, Mu Beirong was still busy every day, with too many official duties.
Sometimes Yao Shu could only see him once for lunch.
He was not back when she went to bed at night, and he was gone when she woke up in the morning.
Of course, others were not much better.
She often heard from the palace people that a group of people worked in the study and only had one meal a day.
So the next day, Yao Shu took the food and went to the study regularly.
There was no other way, except her, it seemed that no one could urge these people.
"Let's eat first and then get busy later."
The palace maid took out the rice from the food box, which was still steaming.
"Yao'er, you're here."
Mu Beirong raised his head and continued to bury his head: "Wait until I finish processing this book."
Yao Shu walked over and covered the folded bag with her jade hands: "I said I'll deal with it after eating."
Mu Beirong smiled helplessly, grabbed her hand and kissed her quickly.
Ignoring the snickers of the palace ladies, he stood up and walked to the dining table.
Xiao Song, Xiao Qian, Qiao Sang and others had already taken their seats, but Xiao Qingli was still writing something.
Yao Shu walked over helplessly: "My uncle wants me to treat you every day."
"Just come" Xiao Qingli stood up.
Yao Shu then walked to the dining table and prepared to eat, but when she turned around, she found that Xiao Qingli had not followed her at all.
When she looked up again, she stood up and her hand was still writing.
While writing, he looked in the direction of Yao Shu.
When he saw Yao Shu looking over, he said, "Okay, the review is finished."
Yao Shu couldn’t laugh or cry.
If these people were put into modern times, they must be workaholics.
"Oh, I'm starving to death," Xiao Qian said in a gulp while devouring the food.

Yao Shu rolled her eyes at him: "Now that you know how much time it takes to eat a meal when you are hungry, it will delay many things and you will be exhausted sooner or later, and you will know which is more serious."
"It's not my fault."
Xiao Qian raised his head and looked at the other people: "I've been hungry for a long time, but no one made any move, so I couldn't just go and eat by myself.
Doesn't it show how weak I am?"
Yao Shu was convinced: "Eating and sleeping are human physiological needs.
What kind of concentration can we do to fill our stomachs?"
"One more thing" Yao Shu said solemnly: "From now on, everyone must go back to sleep after three quarters to one hour."
"Okay."
Mu Beirong was the first to agree.
It felt like it had been a long time since he had been intimate with Yao Er.
What's so good about being a city lord who works so hard but doesn't have sex yet?
Now that Mu Beirong had spoken, the others naturally had no objections.
Xiao Qingli glanced at Mu Beirong indifferently and then immersed himself in eating.
Mu Beirong felt that this shrewd uncle seemed to have understood everything, but he was very calm.
He, a single man, could not understand the feelings of someone like him who had a wife.
While chatting about the lunch, the few of them began to get involved in official duties again.
Yao Shu was bored and went to talk to her mother-in-law.
Song Qing is not like her.
Song Qing seems to be very knowledgeable about food, and she loves her as a daughter-in-law.
Almost all her food orders are made by Song Qing.
She also moved several nutritious modern dishes, which also made the relationship between Yao Shu and her closer.
The Xiao family and the Mu family seemed like her real home, rather than the purposeful family relationship like in the south.
She has gradually integrated into this place and likes it:
