Chapter 1100: The Return of an Old Friend (8)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Daliang Dynasty soldiers led by Xie Jingxing were about to attack Youzhou. This battle was extremely important, and it could even be said to be the key to determining the entire battle. If Xie Jingxing successfully took down Youzhou, he would be able to end this war in a shorter time.

On the other hand, if Xie Jingxing could not bite off this piece of the cake, the Daliang Dynasty would suffer a huge blow.

Therefore, in this battle, be it the Daliang Dynasty, Ming Qi, or the State of Qin, they all betted everything they had on it.

As Empress Xiande told Shen Miao about this, she joked with her, “After all, the person leading the army is your husband. Why don’t you look nervous at all?”

Shen Miao smiled. “I naturally believe in His Highness.” Xie Jingxing was really cunning. Ye Mei was very capable and could successfully give the fake defensive maps to Fu Xiuyi and make Fu Xiuyi trust her, but Xie Jingxing had also played a big role in it.

At the beginning of the war, Xie Jingxing had deliberately let Fu Xiuyi win a few battles. In fact, those few victories did not give Ming Qi and the State of Qin any substantial advantage, but it gave them the illusion that they were winning.

After Fu Xiuyi tasted the sweetness of victory, he trusted Ye Mei more and more. Even if the Daliang Dynasty managed to win a few more battles later, in Fu Xiuyi’s eyes, it was just a coincidence. However, the battles Xie Jingxing lost were all unimportant ones, but the few cities he won back and defended were all extremely important.

However, Fu Xiuyi and the Emperor of the State of Qin probably would not notice this, because in the recent battles, they had won small victories. The morale of the Daliang Dynasty’s army seemed to be gradually declining. They attacked more and more fiercely, as if they wanted to take down the other party in one go.

Therefore, Fu Xiuvi took Youzhou very seriously. From the looks of it, Fu Xiuvi seemed to have carefully arranged his troops according to the defensive map drawn by Shen Miao.

There was nothing more satisfying than this news. The more soldiers and resources Fu Xiuyi spent on this, the greater the blow he would receive in the end. It was as if Xie Jingxing was luring a gambler. First, he let the gambler win some money, making the gambler feel that he was lucky. In the end, the gambler went all in and lost all his money. At this moment, Xie Jingxing was slowly drawing in the net and catching them all in one go.

Fu Xiuyi was already starting to take the bait. As for the emperor of the State of

Qin, he was more cautious than Fu Xiuyi. Perhaps he had other plans for Youzhou. However, once Fu Xiuyi was defeated, the State of Qin alone would not be a threat to Xie Jingxing.

Luo Tan reached out and carefully placed her hand on Shen Miao’s stomach. She said, “Unfortunately, we can only receive news from Youzhou through a letter. This little fellow is growing very quickly.”

Shen Miao lowered her head and looked at her stomach. Eight months passed peacefully. Life seemed to be no different from usual. She faced the ongoing war calmly. Not only because she trusted her family and lover, but also because she understood that there was a small life growing with her in her stomach..
