Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

The other tribal leaders quickly gathered enough troops. Including the original strength of Shou'an Town, there were about 8000 people, and the imperial court stationed here at least [-] people.

When the Southwest King summoned all the leaders to discuss how to fight this battle, he took Yan Mu with him.The other leaders naturally had their opinions, but the Southwest King said he was useful.

"King Zhenbei has experienced hundreds of battles. He once caused the Xianbei people to lose nearly [-] troops in Darong. Therefore, King Zhenbei has experience in dealing with them and can give us some useful suggestions." King Southwest said.

"If it weren't for him, it wouldn't have caused such a big mess." A leader said angrily.

The Southwest King glanced at the leader and then at all the leaders present: "Actually, everyone knows in their hearts that unless our twelve tribes abandon our homes and move to the desert in the west, this battle will happen sooner or later."

"But don't you forget that this land is ours. The Xianbei people plundered our land and forced us to this barren land in the southwest. But despite this, they are not satisfied yet and want to make us completely Get out. Are you really willing to be bullied by the Xianbei people again and again?"

"The Xianbei people regard us as four-legged bed bugs. Do we ourselves also think that we are bed bugs?"

The leader lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

"Of course, this battle is difficult to fight, and the chance of winning is very small, so if you want to quit, you can take your tribe's troops and leave Shou'an Town now. I will never stop you, and I will never make it difficult in the future."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. His words seemed to be righteous, but in fact they were very cunning.The precious sons of these leaders are trapped in the enemy camp. Even if they are unwilling to do so, they must try their best to save their sons.

"But eight thousand versus twenty thousand, how can we fight this battle?" One leader scratched his hair anxiously.

The King of Southwest was also in trouble for a while. Due to the imbalance in military strength and the fact that the weapons in the hands of the Xianbei people were more powerful than theirs, he was not unable to come up with good countermeasures for a while.

The hall was quiet for a while, and Yan Mu waited until the time was right before he spoke.

"The Xianbei people think that you are too timid and scared to fight this battle with them, so let them be more convinced of this idea, and then give them a fatal blow when they slack off."

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at him.

King Southwest spoke first, "How to do it?"

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "That's it."

He explained his idea carefully. After listening, everyone was a little skeptical.

"Can you do it?"

"Your spies came to report that King Liang has arrived at the military camp opposite, so he should be leading this battle, right?" Yan Mu asked.

King Southwest nodded, "This news should be correct."

"And Prince Liang is arrogant and not very vigilant. It should be possible to seduce him."

Of course, Yan Mu didn't say anything, he only said that he would give them a signal, and they saw the signal leaving the city to fight.

"But I don't know your strength, so I can't trust you." Yan Mu said.

King Southwest frowned, "What do you mean by this?"

"After all, I handed over my life. I have to give it to someone I can trust, right?"

"so what?"

"I want Princess Mingyue to lead one of the three armies."

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the spot exploded.

"This is impossible. Princess Mingyue is a woman. How can she lead troops to fight!"

"That is, women have little knowledge, and war is a big deal, how can it be a trivial matter!"

"Our soldiers are all strong-willed men, led by a woman. Where should they put their faces?"

The other leaders disagreed, and neither did the King of Southwest.

"If King Zhenbei is worried, I can personally lead his troops to rescue you." King Southwest said.

Yan Mu glanced at the crowd and saw their angry looks. This matter really couldn't be done in one step.

"Okay." After the meeting, everyone went to get ready, and only King Nannan and Yan Mu were left in the hall.

"King Zhenbei, why did you just ask Mingyue to lead the army?" King Southwest asked in confusion.

Yan Mu turned to ask the Southwest King, "Why can't Princess Mingyue lead troops?"

"She's a woman."

"Apart from this?"

The Southwest King pursed his lips, and after a while he still said this: "She is a woman."

"You taught Princess Mingyue how to read military books and martial arts, and you gave her a rebellious temperament that made her dare to do things without being limited to being a woman. From the very beginning, you never thought of raising a lady, and you also Why do we require her to be a lady? She doesn’t have to be inferior to any man, she just needs a chance to show off her abilities."

"In the Twelve Tribes, the status of women is lower than that of men. This is an unchangeable fact."

"Okay, just start with you."

The King of Southwest looked at Yan Mu, "Start with me?"

"Bring Princess Mingyue to this battle and give her a chance to show her strength. Firstly, it's for your daughter, and secondly, it's for the palace. After all, you don't have a son, right?"

"I can have a son-in-law."

"In order to find a suitable son-in-law, force your daughter to marry someone she doesn't like and live an unhappy life?"

"..."

Yan Mu smiled and said, "I believe Princess Mingyue has this strength, and I believe you, the Southwest King, do the same, so give her a chance."

It's twilight and everything that needs to be prepared is ready.

Yan Mu and Tuoba Siqi tied their hands and came under the city gate. At that time, the Southwest King and the leaders were still discussing the specific details.

Sikong Mingyue still pretended to be an ordinary soldier and sneaked up to the two of them.

"My father said he sent you to the enemy camp under false pretenses. Don't be afraid. Once the war starts, someone will come to rescue you." Sikong Mingyue whispered to reassure them, but she didn't know that this idea was actually a serious plan. Twilight.

"We won't wait for others, just wait for Princess Mingyue to save us." Yan Mu said.

Sikong Mingyue glared at him, "I can't go to the battlefield."

"If we get caught, are you confident in saving us?" Yan Mu asked.

Sikong Mingyue nodded, "Of course, I can fight one against ten."

"When fighting a war, you can't just rely on strength, but also rely on brains."

"I know, but I'm not the commander-in-chief, so it's useless to use my brain."

"Not necessarily. A small soldier can do great things."

Sikong Mingyue frowned, "Why are you telling me this?"

Yan Mu smiled and said nothing more.

At this time, ten four-wheeled carts arrived, seven of which were filled with wine, and the last three were filled with beef and mutton.

A leader in charge of collecting these said: "All the wine in the town has been emptied, and the cattle and sheep are being slaughtered now."

The King of Southwest nodded and said, "I will personally send it over."

"King, just in case..."

"If there is an emergency, the battle will be left to you. You must remember that our twelve tribes are one family and we are not separated from each other. Especially at this time, our hearts must be united and our efforts must be directed toward one place!" (End of chapter)
