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

At the entrance of Baichuan Canyon, Zhu Qingjia was blackened by the fire, her arms were burned, and pus was oozing out.Because he had been trapped in the canyon for more than a month, he was now very thin and his eyes were dull.

Yan Mu's first words were: "Qin Feishi died."

Zhu Qingjia was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "He is dead, and reinforcements will never arrive again."

"Why did you choose to follow him?" This is what Yan Mu has always puzzled about.

Zhu Qingjia's answer was simple, "My father was a close minister of Qin Feishi's father. It was because of this status that I was adopted by Shangguan Xu. I never made a choice, I was just loyal."

"Stupid loyalty."

"Maybe, but these brothers behind me, they follow me because they trust me. So I am shameless and say brotherly love to His Highness, please let them go." After saying this, Zhu Qingjia knelt down and knelt down hard. Three heads.

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and looked at Zhu Qingjia, "They are all soldiers of Da Rong. Do you think I will kill them?"

Zhu Qingjia raised his head and asked puzzledly: "Isn't it possible?"

After all, the two parties were enemies and had fought each other before, and the imperial court ordered their annihilation.

Yan Mu shook his head, "It's the same sentence. They are soldiers of Da Rong. They have shed blood and sweat for Da Rong. I will not kill them. They will either join the Zhenbei Army or go home to reunite with their wives and children. , it’s up to them to choose.”

After hearing this, Zhu Qingjia still didn't believe it.

Yan Mu was amused, "Based on your understanding of me, would I lie to you?"

It's not that it's not necessary. If he wanted to kill them, he could just lead his troops in. They might not be able to withstand the wounded soldiers for half an hour.

An hour later, Zhu Qingjia came out of Baichuan Canyon with the three thousand trapped soldiers. Yan Mu asked his men to place them in the military camp outside Yu'an City to treat their injuries first.

After Xiao Meng cleared the battlefield, he came to Yan Mu and said, "They have already begun to attack the city."

Yan Mu nodded, "Let's go quickly to support!"

"Okay, it's just..." At this point, Xiao Meng sighed, "What we are going to fight this time is the imperial army, our Da Rong soldiers."

Yan Mu knew it, but this battle was inevitable.

"By the way, I just got the news that your wife and son have successfully arrived at Yangui City in Zhenbei." Yan Mu said to Xiao Meng.

When Xiao Meng heard the news, his hanging heart finally relaxed, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"It must be the princess. The princess saved them."

Yan Mu snorted, "You also know how courageous she is."

"The princess is brave and resourceful, and more importantly, she has a kind heart."

"But right now, she is still staying in Shengjing."

On that day, Yan Mu and Xiao Meng led an army of [-] people to the outside of Youzhou City. The imperial army that was still attacking the city could only temporarily stop attacking the city and turn to deal with them.

The fierce fighting continued into the night, and both sides were exhausted and called a temporary truce.

Xiao Meng sighed, "You guys are not tired, but you can't bear to see your compatriots fall one by one."

What's even more disgusting is that the King of Xiyue Liang forced the imperial army to fight behind his back in order to avenge their soldiers, but they were in the rear and did not rush forward at all.

"Now we, Da Rong, are fighting each other, and they are waiting to reap the benefits."

Yan Mu looked at the soldiers with their heads down, thinking that the other side was the same, otherwise they would not have died down.

The two sides fell into a stalemate, and half a month passed. That night, the imperial army suddenly remembered the sound of war drums.The Zhenbei army immediately gathered and picked up their spears to prepare for battle.

It's just that the opponent only beats the drum but does not attack, and this time the West Vietnamese army is in front.

"Your Highness, they captured many people and used them as human shields!" the frontline soldiers came back to report.

Hearing this, Yan Mu frowned.But Chaumont jumped up and cursed these West Vietnamese troops as beasts. "There is also one of them..." The soldier paused, "It seems... she is the princess!"

Yan Mu stood up suddenly, "Who are you talking about?"

"She seems to be the princess."

At that moment, Yan Mu rushed to the front on horseback. The two sides were confronting each other. As expected, the West Vietnamese Army was in front. They captured many civilians and used them as shields to resist the Qilin Cannon.

The woman standing at the front had her hands and feet tied up, and a rope was tied around her mouth. Her face was hard to see clearly in the darkness, but she looked like Liu Yunxiang.

"Your Highness, this is the princess!" Xiao Meng said anxiously.

Yan Mu clenched his fists and shouted to the person on the opposite side: "The two armies are fighting, but you use the common people as shields. Don't you think it's disgusting?"

Over there, the King of Liang in Xiyue was sitting on a tall horse. When he heard this, he sneered, "On the battlefield, everyone relies on their abilities. The important thing is the results, not the means. King Zhenbei, if you have the ability, just lead the troops to fight. I will fight immediately." I’ll give you a big gift.”

As he spoke, he took up his bow and arrow, pulled it up, and pointed the arrow at the woman standing in the middle.

"Your Highness!" Xiao Meng grabbed Yan Mu, "Don't be impulsive."

Yan Mu stared at the woman closely, holding the spear in his hand tighter and tighter, almost breaking.

"Zhenbeiyuan is part of Da Rong. In such a big fight, the casualties are all our Da Rong soldiers. It's better for us to take a step back and everyone will be happy."

This sound?
Yan Mu looked over and saw Lu Changan riding out from behind the West Vietnamese Army. He was wearing a suit of armor and had lost his scholarly air. He was already a decisive commander on the battlefield.

The moment he saw Lu Changan, Yan Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He no longer looked at the woman in front of him, but looked at Lu Changan, his brows raised: "King Suping, long time no see."

Lu Changan smiled, "It's been a long time indeed."

"I almost didn't recognize you."

"Oh?"

"Why did you become the son-in-law of Xiyue? Your appearance has changed. Half of you look like a Darong person and half of you look like a Xiyue person. But I don't know whether your heart is toward Dayong or Xiyue?"

Lu Changan's face darkened. He was just calling him a lackey of Xiyue. When it comes to yin and yang, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang are really the best.

"This king is naturally from Da Rong!" Lu Changan said.

"We Darong people can't use our own people as human shields. The Western Vietnamese soldiers should not use their people as human shields, but they can use our Darong people. Tsk tsk, the key is King Suping. You actually agreed, right?"

Both Zhenbei and the soldiers of the imperial court looked at him. Lu Changan stared deeply for a long time and asked King Liang to release the Darong people.

"King Suping, we are here to win the war, not to talk about morality!" King Liang refused.

Lu Changan said with deep eyes: "Without these people, we can still win the war."

Prince Liang pondered these words and looked at the woman standing in the middle.

"I heard that King Suping has a very good relationship with Princess Zhenbei. Are you really willing to let me shoot this arrow?"

As he spoke, he also drew up his bow and pretended to release an arrow.

Lu Changan twitched the corner of his mouth, "I have already brought people here. No matter what, she will die."

"Oh?"

"In dealing with Zhenbei, we must not go head-to-head. Not only will the imperial court suffer heavy losses, but so will Xiyue. I think King Liang has already learned his lesson."

"Hmph, I will definitely kill Yan Mu."

"So, you still have to use some strategies." (End of Chapter)
