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

There was silence in the air for a moment.

The next moment, the generals became excited. After Qi Ziyu was removed from power, the person they feared most was Yan Longyi.

Now that Yan Longyi has retreated with the Yan army, only the scattered Daxuan army remains.

Prince Chen and Prince Yong had conflicts with their former subordinates, and they also had many contradictions with Si Qingshan. This was a perfect opportunity for them.

The generals exchanged words, and Shi Lei, the most outspoken, stepped forward and said, "General, the Yan army has retreated, and the Daxuan army is in chaos. Let's attack."

Compared with the excitement of the generals, Liang Junshan seemed much calmer.

"Is it possible that they are acting?"

Liang Junshan had suffered a loss once before and would not suffer a loss a second time.

If Yan Longyi pretended to retreat, lured him into the trap, and then turned around and gave him a hard blow, the situation would be different.

Shi Lei argued, "I think it's impossible. Qi Ziyu and Yan Longyi might still cooperate in acting, but King Chen Qi Shuoyu and Qi Ziyu are rivals. It's impossible for Qi Shuoyu to act with them."

"What if Prince Chen is also acting?" Liang Junshan said with a deep look in his eyes, "Anything is possible."

"That's absolutely impossible!" Shi Lei said confidently, "Prince Chen teased Si Yan, and Si Yan killed dozens of his masters. Prince Chen hates Si Yan to the core.

“The Secretary of Wei has arrested Si Yan now in order to deal with Si Zhengxuan after returning to the court.

"Prince Chen's backers are Noble Concubine Xin and the Prime Minister's faction. He and Si Zhengxuan are sworn enemies in the court. Prince Chen and Prince Yong also have an antagonistic relationship. There's absolutely no way Prince Chen and Prince Yong would play along."

Liang Junshan remained silent for a long time.

What the generals said made sense, but he just didn't dare to make a decision easily.

His original plan was to guard Beiyan Pass this winter and not attack again, and wait until next spring to decide everything.

Seeing the general remain silent, everyone knew that they had lost more than 100,000 soldiers, which made the general more worried.

But they still have 100,000 troops stationed at Beiyan Pass. If they miss the opportunity, it will be too late to regret.

Liang Junshan glanced at the generals in front of him and said calmly, "I already know what you are thinking. For now, we should hold our troops in place and continue to gather information about Yan Longyi to see if the Yan army has truly left or is just putting on a show."

"Yes, General."

Everyone was unable to persuade Liang Junshan, and there was nothing they could do, so they could only retreat.

On this day, news about Yan Longyi kept coming.

"Report! The Yan army has retreated thirty miles."

"Report! The Yan army is retreating all the way to Xinyue Pass and Feiyang Pass in Yan territory."

"Report! The Yan army has retreated over seventy miles."

"Report! The Yan army has disappeared."

The soldiers of Beimang State could no longer sit still. Led by Qin Feng and Shi Lei, a group of people came to Liang Junshan again.

"General, our chance has come. Give the order to send out the troops."

"The Yan army has already left Beiyan Pass. We can do the same as we did last time in Daxuan. We will only send a small force of light soldiers to raid and leave after the battle."

"Let's talk about it in a few days." Liang Junshan was a little upset.

He also wanted to attack, but was worried that there was a trick.

"General, if the Daxuan army retreats in a few days, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Yes, General, the opportunity is rare and will never come back."

"..."

The generals talked to each other, which made Liang Junshan, who had originally had a firm attitude, a little shaken.

"Didn't Si Qingshan insist on not withdrawing his troops?" Liang Junshan asked with a frown.

Shi Lei couldn't help but say, "Si Qingshan won't retreat, but King Chen has already decided to do so. King Chen is the master, and Si Qingshan is the subject. Sooner or later, Si Qingshan will compromise."

"I think we should give up this opportunity." Liang Junshan answered calmly.

"General, how about I lead 20,000 elite soldiers to attack the Daxuan camp overnight? If we are defeated, I will die as an apology."

Shi Lei knelt on one knee with his hands clasped, speaking sincerely and with full confidence.

Liang Junshan didn't expect that one of his brave generals would be so persistent.

For a moment, Liang Junshan hesitated.

"General Lei, what do you think?" Liang Junshan turned to look at an old general who had been silent.

Lei Yong slowly stepped out of the ranks and said, "General, I believe it's okay to send out 20,000 elite troops. However, if General Shi falls for his trick and is surrounded, we won't be able to send any more troops to rescue him, lest we fall into a deeper trap."

Lei Yong meant that Shi Lei could go, but they could not send more troops.

In other words, a maximum of 20,000 soldiers and horses were used for the experiment.

This was the most painful battle for Liang Junshan. Several consecutive defeats made him overly cautious.

Now that his generals are all urging him to fight, he has serious doubts about his own judgment.

Liang Junshan thought about it again and again, and finally gave the order: "Okay, then give General Shi 20,000 troops to attack the Daxuan army overnight."

"Yes, sir." Shi Lei said in a loud voice.

All the generals were also excited. They would definitely be able to turn the tables in this battle.

Liang Junshan patted Shi Lei on the shoulder and solemnly instructed him, "General Shi, if you cannot win, you must fight back with all your might."

Shi Lei is a fierce general under Liang Junshan. He is extremely strong and powerful. He once followed Liang Junshan to sweep away the barbarians outside the Great Wall and made great contributions.

On winter nights, the border is extremely cold.

At three quarters past midnight, a group of elite soldiers from the Beimang Kingdom secretly left the city and attacked King Chen's army at lightning speed.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, this is bad! The Beimang army is coming!"

King Chen was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard shouting and killing outside. He quickly put on his clothes and came out.

Wei Shu also heard the noise and walked out from the next military tent.

"How many troops?" Wei Shu asked calmly.

"It's still unclear. The enemy's offensive is fierce, with tens of thousands of troops. Our army is on fire everywhere. Your Highness Prince Chen should leave quickly. If you don't leave now, it will be too late."

"Mr. Wei, what should we do now?" King Chen was at a loss for a moment and turned to look at Wei Shu.

Wei Shu said without hesitation: "Your Highness's life is at stake. Your Highness should go first and go to Xiongyue Pass and wait for my news."

"Mr. Wei, won't you come with me?"

Wei Shu shook his head: "I can't leave. I have to stay and take charge of the situation."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

King Chen was so frightened by the neighing of war horses and the deafening shouts of killing that his legs went limp.

Wei Shu's expression was grim as he ordered his subordinates, "Hurry up and report to Si Qingshan's troops. Have Si Qingshan come to the rescue as soon as possible."

"Mr. Wei, General Si has brought his men here and is fighting the enemy."

"So soon?" Wei Shu was surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it. "Go check on Si Yan, nothing can happen to her."

As long as Si Yan is alive, he will be their bargaining chip against Si Zhengxuan.

If she died, she would become Si Zhengxuan's weapon against them.

Wei Shu immediately took people to the place where Si Yan was under house arrest.

Under the protection of his men, King Chen left the military camp overnight and fled to Xiongyue Pass.
