Chapter 240 The Death of Xiao Jingyuan

The Xirong soldiers thought that they would not die if they surrendered, but General Cao thought that there were too many surrenders, so he planned to kill half and keep the other half.

Finally, a future prince of the Daqing Kingdom came to oppose General Cao's atrocities and defend them prisoners of war.

As a result, a fool who wanted to be a hero suddenly jumped out of his camp and assassinated the future prince of Daqing.

Well now, that idiot became a hero as he wished, and the poor tens of thousands of prisoners of war had to die with him.

The soldiers of Daqing raised their weapons and vowed to let these Western soldiers pay for their lives for Xiao Jingyuan, the son of King Yan.

Facing the butcher's knife, Xi Rongbing burst out with a strong desire to survive.

Even with bare hands, they greeted him.

As long as they snatch the swords and guns from the hands of Daqing soldiers and fight their way out, today may not be their death day.

Tens of thousands of people fought together, and the scene was quite chaotic.

Xiao Jingyuan, the eldest son of King Yan, had his last breath. In the confusion, someone stepped on his foot, his eyes bulged, and he burped.

Regarding this, Jiang Erya, who was watching the play while hiding in the manor, expressed her satisfaction.

Jiang Erya waited and waited in the portable manor until the sky was bright, and General Cao and the others called for gold to withdraw.

Nearly three-quarters of the tens of thousands of Xirong soldiers died, and only about a quarter escaped the encirclement and fled into Xiliang Mountain, passed through Xiliang Mountain, and returned to the territory of Xirong Kingdom.

The Daqing soldiers who fought bloody battles left some of their hands to clean the battlefield, and the rest returned home victorious.

General Cao didn't even take off his armor, and directly summoned all the generals to the camp to discuss how to deal with the aftermath.

He pointed to Xiao Jingyuan, the prince of Yan who had just been brought back, and said to the generals, "How should we report this matter?"

All the generals looked at Xiao Jingyuan's body and said nothing.

It is said that Xiao Jingyuan, the son of King Yan, is the heir to the throne appointed by Emperor Yongshou and the future prince of Daqing.

Some generals believed this and became Xiao Jingyuan's lackeys.

Some generals were skeptical about this, and planned to wait until Xiao Jingyuan really became His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before coming to curry favor.

But Xiao Jingyuan died before he became the prince, right under their noses.

After all, Xiao Jingyuan was sent by Emperor Yongshou to practice. Even if he is not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daqing Kingdom, he is still Emperor Yongshou's valued nephew, and the only son of His Royal Highness Yan.

How should the news of his death be reported?

This matter is really tricky.

The generals held back for a long time, and gave General Cao an answer that was not an answer.

"We listen to you, General. We will report how you want to report."

General Cao: ...

"Nonsense, if I know how to report it, do I still need to discuss it with you?"

Deputy General Mu pointed to the military adviser who was shaking a feather fan, and said: "We are a group of big bosses, and our brains are not too heavy.

Master Military Advisor has the best mind.

For this kind of advice, you should go to the military adviser. "

The Army Division smiled, put the feather fan on the long case, and said, "Making it up.

The fact is this.

First, a mysterious man murdered five thousand elite cavalrymen from Xirong, and beheaded the flowery head and gave it to us.

He also gave laxatives to the remaining [-] Xirong cavalry for us.

Then, we seized the opportunity and attacked the Xirong barracks at night.

Prince Yan's son will die because he committed suicide and handed over his back to those Western soldiers...

We can rearrange the order of things and change some of the details.

For example, the son of King Yan wanted to make military achievements, but he did not listen to advice, and led a team of troops to attack the Xirong army camp at night to burn the food and grass of the Xirong army, but was unfortunately caught and stabbed to death by Hua Butuo.

Afterwards, Hua BuTuoTuo brought the head of Prince Yan to shout.

In order to avenge the son of King Yan, we dispatched our entire army and fought fiercely with Xirong, which was very dangerous.

In the end, we cut off Huabutuo's head, killed tens of thousands of enemy troops, and won a disastrous victory..."

The generals thought about it. If the report was truthful, if Emperor Yongshou and King Yan were to settle their accounts, everyone here would be somewhat jointly responsible for the death of King Yan's son Xiao Jingyuan.

For the military division to make up like this, it is equivalent to pushing all the faults to Xiao Jingyuan, the son of Prince Yan himself.

Xiao Jingyuan was dead, and a dead person would not open his mouth to defend himself.

Cut off Xiao Jingyuan's head later and make corresponding scars.

One of the generals thought for a while and said, "Since the victory was narrow and the enemy had tens of thousands of casualties, how should we report our casualties?"

Our casualties have not yet been counted. According to estimates based on the battle situation at the time, the casualties must not exceed 3000.

Fifty to sixty thousand on the enemy side and three thousand on our side?

This number is reported, because everyone knows that there is something tricky in it.

The military division shook the feather fan and said, "Report up to 2 people."

The extra number of casualties can be filled with the quotas that the generals have falsely reported in the past.

The military division didn't point out, just looked at the generals like that.

The generals understood, you looked at me, I looked at you, and nodded in tacit understanding.

Let's throw out these empty-paid quotas first, and stay safe.

……

Upon hearing the news of Xiao Jingyuan's death, Emperor Yongshou's emotions did not fluctuate much. Without a nephew, he still has many nephews.

After reading the battle report handed back by General Cao, Emperor Yongshou frowned.

Tens of thousands of troops from the Xirong Kingdom were killed, and the King of Xirong would certainly not let it go.

It seems that the war with the Xirong Kingdom is coming soon.

Emperor Yongshou thought about it and decided to transfer King Zhenbei and his He family army to Qingyang County in the west.

General Cao is right, if you hit with one punch, you will avoid a hundred punches.

The battle that should be fought is still to be fought.

In the past two years, Liuli business has earned him a lot of money, and he can afford to fight...

When King Yan learned of Xiao Jingyuan's death in the court hall, he cried a lot.After returning to Prince Yan's mansion, after closing the door for three days, he regained his vitality and continued his grand plan to seize the throne.

Princess Yan couldn't bear the pain of losing her husband, so she gave birth to the child in her womb ahead of time, but unfortunately she was a daughter and could not inherit the incense for Xiao Jingyuan.

You Ruoxue, who had changed her mind, was not only not sad when she learned that Xiao Jingyuan was dead, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Her husband is gone, so she can go home and remarry.

Next time, she will marry a new husband who has no power or power to control her.

In this way, even if she wanted to raise her face, the new husband would not dare to say anything.

However, that man slave named Jiang Mingtang took her men to Qingjiang County, saying that he was going to help her kidnap Xiao Xinghe, why has it been so long and there is still no news?
Could it be that something happened?
Where is Jiang Mingtang?

He is eating prison food in the county jail in Qingjiang County.

Jiang Erya didn't say clearly what to do with Jiang Mingtang, and the county magistrate Ma Danian kept him incommunicado.

Jiang Mingtang was sitting in prison, and suddenly he felt a feeling.

There's nothing wrong with being in jail, it's much more comfortable than being a slave...
