The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Chapter 10: A General Is Not Subject to His Sovereign's Orders

The big tent was silent and the air pressure was extremely low.

Qi Ziyu stared at Si Yan coldly: "I will make the Beimang army believe that Yan Longyi who entered the pass is someone else's impersonator."

After he finished speaking, he said solemnly, "Come here, bring this fake Yan Longyi to me and keep him under good care."

Zuo Hang hurried forward and was about to take Yun Li away, but was frightened by Si Yan's raised voice.

"And then?" Si Yan asked harshly.

She looked sarcastic, "This is indeed not Yan Longyi, but he is a soldier of the Yan State! When Prince Yong was hiding in Xiongyue Pass, they fought bravely and bravely to resist the Beimang State army. Is Prince Yong going to hand him over to Liang Junshan?

"Does Prince Yong want to hand over the iron-blooded warriors of his allies to his enemies? Or does he want the world to point fingers at him and say that Prince Yong of Daxuan is a coward who broke his alliance and betrayed his best friends?"

"How dare you!" Qi Ziyu stared at Si Yan coldly, his facial muscles trembling.

After a while, he waved to Zuo Hang at the door.

Zuo Hang quickly took Yun Li away.

"I was presumptuous." Si Yan's expression remained unchanged, and a powerful aura emanated from his body. "But I really want to see whether Liang Junshan believes the facts witnessed by the Beimang army or the King of Yong's excuses."

Qi Ziyu's pale face was filled with anger.

When Yan Longyi was sent as an envoy to Daxuan, he and Yan Longyi became close friends, and their friendship became widely known.

Before this expedition, he and Yan Longyi swore an oath of blood, vowing to drive the Beimang army out of Vulture Mountain.

In Liang Junshan's eyes, he would definitely accept Yan Longyi who came to seek refuge with him.

"Report——"

"Your Highness Prince Yong, the Beimang army is approaching in force and is only thirty miles away from Xiongyue Pass."

The voice of the military commander outside the door resounded throughout the tent.

"How many people are there?" asked King Yong.

"The front army has over 20,000 men, led by Liang Junshan himself. It is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands more troops following."

"Explore again." Qi Ziyu ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

You could hear a pin drop in the tent, and a chill spread in the air.

Qi Ziyu didn't say anything for a long time. He slowly picked up the medicine bowl in front of him and drank it in big gulps.

Si Yan slowed down his tone and said, "Your Highness Prince Yong, we only have one way left now, and that is to join forces with the State of Yan to resist the State of Beimang. Otherwise, the cavalry of the State of Beimang will really step into the territory of Daxuan."

"Isn't this your goal?" Prince Yong sneered. "Don't you just want to lure the Beimang army to Xiongyue Pass and force me to fight?"

"Yes, that's my goal."

Si Yan opened her red lips slightly, "But I want Prince Yong to see my true thoughts."

Qi Ziyu's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"King Yong should know that Daxuan and Yan are no match for Beimang if they fight on their own. Only by joining forces can the two countries resist Beimang."

Qi Ziyu couldn't help but sigh.

They should have joined forces, but the moment he decided not to send troops, they had missed the best opportunity for the two countries to join forces.

Si Yan said indifferently, "Could it be that King Yong also thinks that if Beimang and Yan fight, Daxuan will be able to reap the benefits?"

"So what if I don't think so? Isn't this how the people in the court try to deceive the emperor?"

Si Yan could hear the anger in King Yong's restrained tone.

This hint of anger from King Yong made Si Yan see a great possibility of persuading him.

"So, King Yong also thinks that Daxuan should send troops?" Si Yan asked.

Qi Ziyu was silent for a moment. "Yes, I should send troops. All the soldiers agree. But the imperial edict is there, and the imperial envoy is also in the army. What do you want me to do?"

Prince Yong pointed his finger at a black square box on the table. Inside was the imperial edict that prevented him from sending troops.

"A general is not bound by the orders of his sovereign when he is away from home." Si Yan's words were forceful.

Qi Ziyu suddenly looked up at Si Yan. This girl was really brave.

He stood up and walked to the front of the tent: "All soldiers, retreat fifty steps."

"Yes." Zuo Hang's response came from outside, followed by the sound of guards retreating in an orderly manner.

Qi Ziyu turned around and looked at Si Yan.

He did not forget that the woman in front of him was the fiancée designated by his father before he went to war.

"That's easy to say, but how can we so easily disobey the Holy Order?"

Qi Ziyu's expression was as cold as ice, and his straight figure was like a sculpture.

"Then the blood of the Yan soldiers should be shed in vain?" Si Yan took over Qi Ziyu's words and said, "Should the ardent blood of my Daxuan soldiers be extinguished? Should we turn a blind eye to the Beimang Kingdom's evil ambition to split my Daxuan and Yan? Should we watch Beimang Kingdom destroy Yan first and then go south to annex my Daxuan?

"If we don't resist the Beimang Nation, the Beimang cavalry will be ready to march on us at any time, just like today, for a ridiculous reason."

The girl's voice was clear and loud, full of questions, and every word she asked was like a knife, cutting deeply into King Yong's heart.

Qi Ziyu raised his eyes and looked at Si Yan: "Today, the relationship between Daxuan and Yan has been broken. The soldiers of Yan have also lost their trust in our army. Now the whereabouts of the King of Yan are unknown. It's too late to say anything."

"It's not too late." Si Yan said with a firm look.

Facing the man's slightly gloomy gaze, Si Yan spoke calmly, "As long as Prince Yong still has the heart to resist the Northern Mang Kingdom and sincerely wants to reunite with the Yan Kingdom, as long as Prince Yong dares to say: A general is not subject to the orders of the king when he is away from home, everything is still possible."

Qi Ziyu lowered his eyes slightly. Four years ago, he had disobeyed the imperial edict once.

At that time, he was guarding Beiyan Pass and confronted the Beimang National Army for a year, but the Beimang National Army failed to break through Beiyan Pass.

The imperial court suddenly ordered him to return to the court and replaced the border commander with the national defense general Ling Yuefeng.

After General Ling held out for three months, Beiyan Pass was breached.

The army of Beimang State marched straight into the territory of Daxuan and arrived at Xiongyue Pass.

It was at that time, and also at Xiongyue Pass, that he disobeyed the imperial edict for the first time.
