This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 747
The Southern Chu army trekked for several days, and Mu Xiqiu finally found a suitable place to set up camp, and ordered the army to rest. If this continues, the soldiers' shoes will probably be completely worn out.

within the tent.

Mu Xiqiu leaned on the main seat, tilted his head back a few times vigorously, and then twisted his body a few times, only to hear a few crisp cracking sounds from all his bones, and then he looked comfortable. He let out a long sigh of relief.

The old Taoist priest and Peng Hai stood respectfully at the lower position and neither of them said a word. After running around for days, the old Taoist priest's face, which had already suffered internal injuries, looked even paler at this moment.

Mu Xiqiu looked up at the two of them, then pointed to the position behind them, and said, "Sit!"

"Can the body still hold on?"

After the two of them sat down, Mu Xiqiu looked at the old Taoist priest and asked, the old Taoist chuckled twice and said, "I can hold on, thank you for your concern."

"Don't hold on."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I haven't seen you accomplish great things, how can I close my eyes as an old man."

Mu Xiqiu shook his head slightly, put his right hand on the armrest, and kept tapping with his nimble index finger. After a long time, he suddenly asked inexplicably, "Say, can I win this battle?" ?”

As soon as he said this, the old Taoist priest and Peng Hai were stunned for a moment. You must know that His Majesty was very confident at the beginning of the war, but now that nearly one-third of the territory of the Great Zhou has been conquered, why is he so confident? Instead, you have no confidence?

Mu Xiqiu didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two of them, but closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This battle has reached the point where he is indeed getting more and more hopeless. At the beginning of the war, he gathered a whole army of 40 troops, but in the battle of Bajiaopo, 10,000 troops were wiped out, and Pingyang Pass continued for half a month. In the war, the lives of [-]+ soldiers were buried there. Yesterday, Sima Zongheng sent another news that Xiao Hongfei’s [-] troops in Nanzhou were also led by Wen Ruyan to Yishen Ridge, where they were defeated. Not even [-] people returned alive. number.

There are a total of 40 troops, and there are less than 15 left!
Now that Dazhou is already under the command of Wen Ruyan, and the three words Wen Ruyan are like a curse, he will be circling in his mind every day. As long as Wen Ruyan does not die, Mu Xiqiu is sure that this battle will be fought to the end. He must be defeated!

It's not that Mu Xiqiu felt inferior to Wen Ruyan, but after breaking through Pingyang Pass, Mu Xiqiu finally understood what national blood is!
Those people in Dazhou threw themselves into the battlefield without thinking about their own lives, completely destroying all his self-confidence!

As long as he was on the land of Dazhou, Wen Ruyan would have a steady stream of troops behind him, but the troops in his hands were constantly being consumed.

In fact, if Mu Xiqiu led the army back to Southern Chu at this time, he would have won the war after all, because he captured so much land in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he looted countless gold, silver, grain and grass, and even nearly seven or eight. Wan's slaves will flow into the market in Southern Chu. He only needs to return to the country to recuperate now, and he can still start another war of aggression against Da Zhou in the future.

At this moment, Dazhou lost troops and generals, countless cities were destroyed by the army of Southern Chu, and refugees and refugees gathered in the north. How could it be possible to recover from such a scene in seven or eight years?
So returning to Southern Chu at this moment is the best decision, but Mu Xiqiu has reached this point, but he is reluctant to give up. Da Zhou's life is already hanging by a thread. Maybe if he puts some pressure on himself, this building will collapse. Is it possible to crash?
After a long time, Mu Xiqiu opened his eyes and said calmly, "Wen Ruyan must be on his way to Sichuan right now."

Hearing this name, the old Taoist priest and Peng Hai were even more silent and didn't know what to say. Maybe others might think that Wen Ruyan was not as powerful as in the legend, but the two of them fought against that Wen Ruyan just like today Several times, Wen Ruyan's horror, how could the two of them not understand?

"Wen Ruyan is not dead, I can't sleep or eat in peace!"

Mu Xiqiu sighed suddenly, and the old Taoist thought for a while before asking, "What is Your Majesty planning to do next?"

"There is still a day and a half away from Chuanzhou, but we have to attack the city along the way. Although we are one step ahead, Wen Ruyan will definitely rush to Chuanzhou City before us."

Having said this, Mu Xiqiu paused for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "I have fought against him several times, and I lost more than I won. This time, I will use this Chuanzhou City as the battlefield, let me fight him again like this." !"

Eight days later.

Wen Ruyan led [-] soldiers to Chuanzhou City. He Changzai, the governor of Chuanzhou, came out of the city to greet him with excitement. If Wen Ruyan didn't come again, he would consider evacuating the people, abandoning Chuanzhou City and retreating towards Yanjing. .

No way, Chuanzhou City currently has only [-] guards, so how could it be the opponent of Mu Xiqiu's [-] cavalry?
After the army entered the city, He Changzai invited Wen Ruyan and Ye Linxue to the Governor's Mansion, and after the servants served tea and left, He Changzai sighed to Wen Ruyan: "Your Highness is so timely. .”

"Where is Mu Xiqiu's army now?" Wen Ruyan didn't have time to talk nonsense with him right now, so he asked straight to the point.

He Changzai ordered people to fetch the map, and then pointed it on it, saying: "Yesterday at Chenshi, the army of the new emperor of Southern Chu has captured Fen County, and now it is less than a hundred miles away from Chengu County."

Wen Ruyan frowned, he really didn't want to see the tragedy in Tunyu County happen again, so he said directly: "Chengu County can't be lost anymore, we have to support it!"

He Chang smiled wryly, and said: "Your Highness, it may be too late to support Chengu County at this moment. Chuanzhou is far away from Chengu County. Now we rush there, I am afraid that we will directly face the army of Southern Chu! "

Wen Ruyan suddenly fell into silence. In fact, what He Chang was saying was also reasonable, not to mention that the army he brought along was exhausted at the moment, even if they were still physically strong, it would be too late at such a distance.

Seeing that Wen Ruyan was silent, He Changzai said again: "Your Highness, I sent a letter to Yanjing ten days ago. Your Majesty sent a letter by flying pigeons to inform Chen Zhenguo, Lord Chen Ling, to ask for orders in person. He wants to come. Chuanzhou support, after His Majesty agrees, Master Chen will be the main general, and the commander of the Black Cavalry Battalion Xie Shan will be the deputy general. At this moment, he has brought [-] soldiers from the Black Cavalry Battalion to support. The fighting power of the Black Cavalry Battalion is the best in the world. It’s almost here, Your Highness should not be in a hurry, after Lord Chen Ling Chen arrives, with the troops you brought plus the [-] black cavalry battalion soldiers, Chuanzhou will definitely be safe!”

"The whole black cavalry battalion has been dispatched?" Ye Linxue was suddenly surprised.

He Chang smiled wryly: "General Ye, under the current situation, apart from the [-] Imperial Forest Army in the palace, there are only [-] Black Cavalry soldiers left that His Majesty can mobilize."

But Wen Ruyan frowned slightly when he heard what he said.

"Chen Ling?"
