This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 762 Doubt
Chuanzhou City.

Chen Ling, who was ordered to pursue the defeated Southern Chu army, spent four days in a row going through several battles before leading his army back.

In this battle, more than 4 enemies were wiped out. Only [-] of the original [-] Southern Chu army retreated from Sichuan and Shu in panic, while Chen Ling's [-] army lost only less than [-]. After one stop, the crisis in Sichuan and Shu was completely resolved.

When the army returned triumphantly, Ye Linxue, Xie Shan, and He Changzai went out of the city to greet them in person, and He Changzai even recited the eulogy written in advance under the watchful eyes of everyone. Chen Ling's name immediately resounded throughout the entire Chuanzhou City, presumably it will spread throughout the world in a short time.

On the night of Chen Ling's return, Ye Linxue wanted to lead [-] troops into Minchuan to support Wen Ruyan, but Chen Ling directly refused, and Ye Linxue had no way to refute the reasons given by Chen Ling.

Chen Ling just said that the soldiers had already been exhausted after four days of continuous fighting, and it was no longer suitable for them to fight again, and they needed to take a good rest.

No matter how anxious Ye Linxue was, there was nothing she could do about Chen Ling's words.

On the second day, Ye Linxue visited Chen Ling again, but unexpectedly, she was blocked by Chen Ling's guards without even seeing him. He is already bedridden, so it is not suitable to see guests.

Ye Linxue knew that this was just a deliberate rhetoric put forward by Chen Ling, but what could she do, she couldn't just break in.

But now that Wen Ruyan was not around, Chen Ling was the highest general in the army, and any action the army wanted had to be approved by him.Of course, with Xie Shan around, the [-] soldiers from the Black Cavalry Battalion could naturally be mobilized. This was also the confidence that Wen Ruyan gave Ye Linxue, but how could Xie Shan fight Chen Ling directly unless it was absolutely necessary?
in the courtyard.

Ye Linxue walked in with a sullen face, Xie Shan stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter? Chen Ling still doesn't agree to send troops?"

Ye Linxue snorted coldly and said, "Today I was stopped outside the mansion without even seeing his face. This Chen Ling is probably determined not to go to reinforce Min Chuan."

Xie Shan sighed, and said: "Actually, this is expected, and you don't have to be so angry."

Ye Linxue looked bored. Since today, Wen Ruyan has been in Minchuan for five days. During these five days, no news has come out. How can Ye Linxue not be worried?
Xie Shan naturally knew what she was thinking, so he comforted her and said, "You don't have to be so worried. Didn't your Highness tell you before leaving? If he hasn't returned in half a month, I'll go to Minchuan for rescue. It's only been five years. Today, the time agreed with His Highness is still early, and it is impossible for His Highness to have problems in such a short period of time."

Ye Linxue nodded helplessly.

Seeing that she no longer struggled with this issue, Xie Shan frowned suddenly and asked, "Do you think it's too easy for Chen Ling to chase the defeated Southern Chu army this time?"

Governor's Palace.

Chen Lingzheng was drinking tea with He Chang in the hall. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be suffering from a cold. Just as Ye Linxue guessed, it was just an excuse to refuse to see her.

He Changzai picked up his teacup and took a sip, then looked at Chen Ling several times before hesitating to speak.

Chen Ling smiled and said: "What I want to say is to be straightforward, why are you and I being so tight?"

He Changzai sighed and said, "Duke, although Ye Linxue has been blocked from the door today, but with her temperament, it is absolutely impossible to give up easily. She must come to you again in the future. You can't stay behind closed doors forever." Bar?"

Chen Ling shook his head and said, "No matter what she says, I will definitely not go to the land of Minchuan."

He Changzai asked in surprise, "Why is this?"

"Do you know what I found when I chased down the defeated Southern Chu army this time?"

"What did you find?" He Changzai was surprised.

Chen Ling sneered at that time: "The new emperor of Southern Chu, Mu Xiqiu, was not in that defeated army at all, but entered Minchuan with those six thousand soldiers!"

"Really?" He Chang stood up in shock at that moment.

"really!"

A trace of excitement suddenly appeared on He Changzai's face, and he said: "This is a god-given opportunity. This time, the Southern Chu army has already retreated from Sichuan and Sichuan. Mu Xiqiu has only six thousand soldiers left in his hands, and you There are more than [-] people under your command who can be mobilized at this moment. If you lead an army into Minchuan this time, how will Mu Xiqiu resist? If you can capture Mu Xiqiu alive in this battle, you will really make an indelible contribution That's it! This credit must be enough to make your name last forever."

Chen Ling sneered again, and said: "You are thinking too simply, this time Prince Jing is in Minchuan, if I bring someone in again, even if I can capture Mu Xiqiu alive, who will be credited for it?" What? You must know that Prince Jing is the commander-in-chief of the three armies at this moment! Then how can the words "Liu Fang Eternal" have anything to do with me?

After being reminded by him, He Changzai also reacted in an instant, sat down with a wry smile and said, "You are right, but my thinking is too simple, so you plan to wait for Prince Jing's defeat in Minchuan before taking any action? But you and I can all see Prince Jing's ability, plus he took away the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion this time, I don't think he will lose, the outcome is at most a [-]-[-] split What if he wins by then?"

Chen Ling picked up the teacup and shook it lightly in front of him a few times, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said softly, "He can't win."

He Changzai's expression froze, and he said, "Why are you so sure?"

Chen Ling stared at the teacup in front of him, sneered, and said, "Do you know why I drove the defeated Southern Chu army out of Sichuan and Shu so easily this time?"

"Naturally, it's because you are old and strong, Duke, and your prestige has not diminished."

Chen Ling shook his head indifferently, and said directly: "There are still more than [-] defeated troops in Southern Chu. If they defend Chengu County, how can my [-] troops be able to attack?"

He Changzai's face also became solemn. In fact, he just said that on purpose just now. He also came down from the battlefield at the beginning. How could he not see the suspicious points in it?

"What's the problem?" He Changzai asked seriously.

Chen Ling sneered again, and immediately said in a nonchalant manner: "This is just the intentional defeat of the Chu army!"

He Changzai stood up again in shock, looked at Chen Ling and asked in puzzlement, "Deliberate defeat?"

Chen Ling nodded: "After I led the army to pursue, the Chu army almost fled in a panic and had no resistance. I was defeated, but I never left half of the food and supplies. You must know that after they entered the land of Sichuan and Shu, they conquered four cities in a row. All the granaries in these four cities fell into their hands. went?"
