The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses
Chapter 91: The Proud Little Princess and the Iron-blooded General (26)
The mansion of the Lord of Chidan City.
"Princess, Captain Xu wants to see you."
"Why is he here? Let him in quickly."
Seeing Captain Xu rushing over exhausted, Yan Xue asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen at the farm?"
Captain Xu clasped his fists and said, "Princess, someone brought fifty carts of food to the military camp to look for you yesterday."
Yan Xue was surprised. "What? Fifty carts of food. Who brought them here?"
"This is a letter for you."
Yan Xue took it and looked at the lacquer seal. She knew it was a letter from her grandfather.
Captain Xu tactfully withdrew. Yan Xue opened the letter and found that there was actually a letter from the Queen hidden inside.
She read the two letters at a glance, feeling very heavy in her heart. Her mother knew what she was going to do and supported her unhesitatingly, as did her grandfather.
She must protect them well in this life.
Yan Xue found a pen and paper and wrote a reply letter. She called Captain Xu and handed the letter to him, and instructed him, "You still need to recruit more people here, understand..."
Captain Xu looked at the princess deeply, nodded, and walked out.
On the other hand, Murong Hui also received an order from the king, asking him to recapture Chidan City, but other than that, he said nothing else, and neither military pay nor food was given.
But there was no other way; the king's order could not be disobeyed. He discussed with several adjutants and decided to use up all the remaining food and fodder in the army.
"General, let's not cross the river."
"But, I want to die with a full stomach. Let the soldiers have a good meal and then we will attack the city."
"But General, there are 30,000 troops in front of Chidan City and 70,000 troops in the back. If we go there now, won't we be surrounded by them?"
Murong Hui sneered, "Do you think I don't know?"
"You will set out tonight and attack Chidan City at night. There are only 4,000 soldiers in the city. Try to capture the city first, and then consider the troops outside."
"Yes, General."
At midnight, Duanmu Fang led 3,000 elite soldiers and quietly set out...
Murong Hui did not sleep all night, he was waiting for news, but until noon the next day, no news came.
He sent a few more people to inquire, and they said that there was nothing unusual in Chidan City, and that businessmen were still coming in and out.
At this time, Duanmu Fang and his three thousand elite soldiers were tied up in Guo Tong's barracks, while Guo Tong and his men were eating steamed buns and drinking mutton soup.
Duanmu Fang and his soldiers swallowed their saliva. They were so hungry, but he stiffened his neck and did not say a word of begging for mercy.
Guo Tong curled his lips and said, "You'll be obedient if I starve you for a few days," and then continued to eat his meal with big mouthfuls.
On the other side, Murong Hui also learned that Duanmu Fang was captured by Dong's army. He slammed the table heavily.
"This is a losing battle. Our king actually..."
He closed his eyes. They all came from poor backgrounds and had gained their current status through fighting on the battlefield. They had no one in the court, so there was probably no one to speak for them.
That night, Murong Hui launched an attack on Chidan City. The battle lasted for a day and a night. Dong Linpei sighed as he looked at Murong Hui who was tied up.
"General Murong, you and I are old acquaintances. You..."
"General Dong, there's no need to say anything. I'm alone, so you can kill me if you want."
Dong Linpei patted Murong Hui on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I know that the King of Beidi didn't treat you well. Actually, we are the same.
Why don't you and I..."
Murong Hui looked at Dong Linpei with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that he would have such an idea. "But didn't you just marry the princess of Dasheng? Would the emperor of Dasheng agree to you doing this?"
Dong Linpei smiled and said, "I don't know whether His Majesty agrees or not, but maybe the princess has the same idea."
Murong Hui licked his dry lips. Which man doesn't want to make achievements? He is only 28 years old...
The news of Murong Hui's defeat and surrender was like a blockbuster bomb. After seven long and anxious days of transmission, it finally reached the bustling capital.
This news was like a violent storm, sweeping across the entire government and the country.
Yuchi Wuji held the military newspaper tightly in his hand, his face turned red in an instant, veins bulged on his neck, and his anger was beyond words.
He widened his eyes, staring at the words in front of him in disbelief, as if he wanted to burn them to ashes.
“This Murong Hui, he actually... he actually surrendered to the enemy!” Yuchi Wuji roared loudly, his voice was deafening and echoed in the palace.
Anger made Yuchi Wuji lose his mind. He waved his sleeves fiercely and said, "Go and arrest all their families immediately! Don't let any of them go!"
The ministers below looked at each other with bewildered expressions. One of them said, "Your Majesty, Murong Hui's house is now empty!"
"What, there is not even a single person left?" Yuchi Wuji asked in astonishment.
"Your Majesty, that is true. Murong Hui's mother passed away ten years ago, and his wife was seriously injured when she was hit by the princess' carriage five years ago.
In the end, he failed to save his life." Another minister replied immediately.
Yuchi Wuji listened to what the ministers said, and a memory seemed to emerge from the depths of his mind. He had a vague impression of this matter, as if he was afraid that Murong Hui had ulterior motives.
He was hastily buried, and the only news that reached the border was that his wife was seriously ill, and the matter was forgotten.
"What about his lieutenants?"
"His three lieutenants were all orphans. They worked hard all the way to get to their current positions. I don't know if they have any relatives or friends."
Yuchi Wuji slammed the desk with great force, causing the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk to almost fall off.
"We must recapture Chidan City and cut that evil thief Murong Hui into pieces. Who else can lead the troops?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and looked at each other.
After all, there are only a few generals who can lead troops to war at the moment, not to mention that the world has been peaceful in recent years and there have not been many wars.
And because of this, His Majesty's attention to the generals is not as high as before...
At this moment, a minister stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to set off immediately and recapture Chidan City!" There was a sense of arrogance in his words.
When Yuchi Wuji saw that it was the imperial concubine's nephew who had been training in the army for some time, he nodded.
"From today on, I appoint Haolian Rui as the General of the Cavalry and lead an army of 100,000 to the border to recapture Chidan City and kill Murong Hui."
