Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1689

Emperor Mingde refused to allow the tribe to send troops for several reasons.

First of all, recovering lost territory is an internal affair of the Northern Wing. If external forces are allowed to intervene, it may undermine the dignity of the court and complicate the situation and make it difficult to control.

Second, although the surrounding tribes appear to be submissive, their intentions are unpredictable. If they are allowed to join the war, they may be difficult to control after the war, and may even become the host, threatening the stability of the northern border.

Third, Emperor Mingde knew the will of the people, and recovering the lost territory had been the long-cherished wish of the people of the northern wing. If he relied on external forces, he might lose the support of the people and it would be difficult to rally the strength of the whole country.

As for the fourth one, he was naturally confident. He was the emperor of Beiyi, leading the army in person, with a son-in-law at his side, and thousands of passionate men in Beiyi, so why should he worry about not accomplishing his mission?

The tribal leaders were just trying to express their stance, and they were happy to be rejected. Who wants to live a good life and go through life and death?

It really happened! King Wazhen of the Vina tribe really wanted to kill the Wan people in order to avenge his personal grudge and wipe out his previous shame. So he told his parents and tribesmen that he was going to the capital to see his sister, and he went to the North Wing military camp alone and became a soldier in front of the emperor.

He is half Northern Wing and looks like his mother. Apart from being tall and strong, he is not particularly eye-catching.

It is now July, and the Northern Wing King's army is camped outside Guicheng.

Guicheng was lost by the previous emperor's predecessor, nearly a hundred years ago. However, during these hundred years, the emperors of Beiyi had no intention of recovering the lost territory, allowing it to fall into the hands of Wan.

Some were weak and unable to fight, while others were content with the status quo and unwilling to see another war. The people of Guicheng lived in misery under the rule of a foreign race and led an extremely difficult life.

The people's hearts turned to the north wing, but year after year, hope gradually faded. It was not until Emperor Mingde led the army in person to recover the lost territory that the dead hearts of the people in Guicheng finally came back to life.

The great victories at Zhuonan River and Jundong Mountain ignited the passion of the people of Guicheng and also pushed the wrath of the emperor of Wan to its peak.

If they can’t defeat the Northern Wing Army, can they still overwhelm the people of Guicheng?

In May, the State of Wan decided to massacre the city to vent its anger.

But how could it be so easy to slaughter people in Guicheng today?

The book "The Northern Wing Emperor Guards the National Gate" had long been secretly sent to the lost land and circulated among the people.

They are saved! Emperor Mingde has personally brought the Northern Wing Royal Division to rescue them!

Hold on a little longer, and dawn will come after the darkness.

The people of Guicheng, who could be trampled on at will in the past, from Mr. White-browed to little children, all had their blood awakened and rose up in resistance, resulting in a standoff.

The Wan people didn't gain any advantage at all.

On this day, Cen Yuan sent Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang with a few elite vanguard soldiers to split up into small groups and disguise themselves as civilians to enter the city to spy on the situation.

The two took the order and left.

After Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang quietly entered the city, they saw that there was panic in Guicheng, the Wan State garrison was on high alert, and there were endless patrolling soldiers in the streets.

Tang Xinghe had just found out that the governor of Guicheng was Wu Le, a military general from the State of Wan.

This person is cruel and inhumane, killing innocent people indiscriminately.

He originally thought that massacring the city was a very simple matter, but after several days, there was no progress. Not only that, he now dared not walk freely in the city, fearing that he would be shot in the throat by the archers of the North Wing.

This gave the people of Guicheng a chance to catch their breath.

Wu Le was waiting for reinforcements from the State of Wan.

Tang Xinghe said to Ma Chuyang, "Waiting for reinforcements is just a dream. Let's not attack Guicheng first, let's go directly to attack the reinforcements."

Ma Chuyang nodded vigorously, "I think it's okay. Kill those damn Wan people!"

Tang Xinghe glanced at him and felt that his friend with red lips and white teeth had become different.

This is also good. He patted Ma Chuyang on the shoulder and said, "Follow me closely, don't get lost."

Ma Chuyang was no longer the Ma Chuyang who liked to put his arm around her shoulders. After being exposed to the wind and sun, not only was his skin darkened and cracked, but it was also covered with scars.

What was even more striking was that he was now able to stand up straight. Even though he was dressed in rags, he still looked incredibly heroic.

Tang Xinghe had to remind him, "You are hunched over. Why can't you show your handsomeness?"

Ma Chuyang hurriedly said "Oh" and deliberately arched his back, making him shorter.

The two of them walked through several streets and alleys and saw a dilapidated platform.

The high platform was crowded with people.

An old gentleman with white eyebrows stood on the high platform. He was skinny and coughed constantly, but he used all his strength to speak loudly, "Fellow villagers of Guicheng! The Wan Kingdom is tyrannical and unjust, treating our people like grass. The policy of massacring the city is intolerable! But how can the people of Guicheng be slaughtered at will? The Emperor Mingde of Beiyi is benevolent and virtuous, and the royal army has arrived. We only need to wait patiently, and we will return to the embrace of Beiyi!"

The audience responded with a surging voice, "Long live the Northern Wing! Long live our emperor!"

Just when everyone was excited, the sound of horse hooves was heard and something unexpected happened.
