As soon as these words were said, the soldiers from the Nanyao Kingdom immediately stopped attacking and retreated one after another, while the Dongyue Kingdom also retreated behind Mu Jingnan, and the two sides faced off.
"Sixth Prince, no, it should be the Crown Prince. You really exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect that not only are you highly skilled in martial arts, but you are also good at marching and fighting!" Yan Lingxiao said to Mu Jingnan, with a slight smile on his handsome face.
smile.
Mu Jingnan glanced around and put his long sword back into its sheath. His blood-stained face was indescribably cold. He looked at Yan Lingxiao opposite and said indifferently: "Emperor Nan Yao has forgotten what I said last time.
I warned you in Liangdu that Dongyue Kingdom is not the place you should come to, but it is a pity that you have overstepped your bounds again this time. Besides, there are old and new grudges. This time, I will not just say it with my mouth like last time."
After hearing this, Yan Lingxiao immediately shook his head and said: "I just want to find an explanation. I entered into a marriage contract with the Dongyue Emperor. I originally wanted to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties with the Dongyue Kingdom forever. Unfortunately, the Dongyue Kingdom betrayed its promise and let
I have lost all face. This mistake was made here in the East Yue Kingdom. Seeing the prince acting like this, it seems that I was wrong. I should let the people of the world judge me."
As soon as these words came out, a large number of people in the Nanyao Kingdom's camp immediately shouted, "The East Yue Kingdom is treacherous, the East Yue Kingdom is treacherous..."
Yan Lingxiao looked at Mu Jingnan opposite, a strange look flashed in his eyes. He wanted to see how he would deal with it. He had already determined this idea.
Mu Jingnan glanced at the opposite side, suddenly curled up his lips, and said jokingly: "Since Emperor Nan Yao wants to take advantage of this, it doesn't matter if I give it to you, but you have to be sure..." At this point, his expression changed.
After sinking, he looked at the soldiers behind him and said loudly, "All the soldiers know that the late emperor passed away just a few days ago, and before the late emperor passed away, it happened that Princess Zhaoyang was going to marry Nanyao. However, on the way, Princess Zhaoyang was shocked to hear that
The late emperor passed away. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first among all good deeds. Princess Zhaoyang was grateful for her father's kindness and insisted on returning to the country to observe filial piety for the late emperor. This is a great justice. Since Emperor Nan Yao sincerely married me in Dongyue, he naturally wanted to respect our etiquette in Dongyue.
. Ordinarily, when the father-in-law is newly deceased, the son-in-law should wear sackcloth and wear filial piety. No matter which country or dynasty he is in, this is what the son-in-law should abide by. However, when Emperor Nan Yao is an emperor, he does not need to observe filial piety, but so what
Can we use this to say that our Dongyue Kingdom is treacherous? If our Dongyue Kingdom is treacherous, then wouldn’t Emperor Nan Yao be unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind?”
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers from the East Yue Kingdom immediately shouted loudly with their halberds in their hands, "Emperor Nan Yao is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust! Unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust..." This momentum has already overwhelmed Nan Yao.
The soldiers of Yao Kingdom shouted before.
Mu Jingnan turned around, looked at Yan Lingxiao, and said indifferently: "Emperor Nan Yao's reason for sending troops seems to have been destroyed."
When Yan Lingxiao heard this, his eyes suddenly closed and he glared at Mu Jingnan opposite him. He was so eloquent! It seemed that he had indeed underestimated him.
On the side, Wei Changming looked at the man across from him who was wearing armor and covered in blood. A hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Yan Lingxiao beside him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, should we fight or retreat now?"
Yan Lingxiao glanced at Wei Changming, snorted, and then looked at Mu Jingnan, "You just got a lucky win today. No matter you came, we really have to compete.
But I have to tell you, no one can stop me this time, including you!"
"As long as I am here, you can't even think about taking another city!" Mu Jingnan said directly, and in an instant, the swords were at war with each other!
"I'm afraid that you are riding a tiger this time and will not be able to take care of the head and tail." A cold light flashed in Yan Lingxiao's eyes. He raised his hand and shouted, "Retreat!" After saying this, he turned around on his horse and headed forward.
, the southern Yao army immediately retreated like a tide.
Wei Changming was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at Mu Jingnan opposite and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born out of young men. The prince's trick of secretly tricking Chen Cang opened my eyes. When we meet again on the battlefield, I will tell the prince again.
Please give me advice."
Looking at Wei Changming, Mu Jingnan looked indifferent, raised his hands and said, "I also asked Marshal Wei for advice."
Wei Changming nodded and led his men away.
Mu Jingnan frowned as he watched Nan Yao's army retreat. Wei Changming's military discipline was so strict that even when retreating, the formation was orderly. Looking around, he shouted, "Enter the city!" He finished his words.
He turned around on his horse and headed towards Ancheng.
In Ancheng, the people stood at the gate of the city and cheered for the prince's arrival in person, and retreated from the enemy troops. Their mood was not affected at all by the previous danger of breaking the city.
In the governor's mansion, Mu Jingnan took off his helmet and shirt, and wore a black brocade robe. He sat in front of the hall, with Chen Songyang and others sitting in two rows below.
"Your Highness, the enemy forces in Nanyao have retreated five miles away from Ancheng. Maybe they are afraid of us. Why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it? Take back the lost city in one fell swoop." A general below said.
As soon as these words came out, the other generals also looked at Mu Jingnan. Maybe before this battle, they were somewhat hesitant about the prince, but after this time, they were also convinced that their prince had a general.
With such talent, he can command thousands of armies.
Mu Jingnan glanced at the official document in his hand, and his eyes fell on the general below, "Our soldiers have traveled a long way here and are exhausted. Although Nan Yao's army suffered a defeat, the troops behind them were full of energy and fought hard.
We have no chance of winning, not to mention, once we lose, it will be the people behind us who will suffer."
As soon as these words came out, the people below started talking a lot, and many people agreed: "Your Highness is right."
Chen Songyang looked at Mu Jingnan and said, "Your Highness, the governor of Ancheng County, Chen Youzhi, was born as a bait to deceive the enemy. He died for the country. I wonder how your Highness plans to reward him?"
Mu Jingnan casually closed the official document and looked at the generals below, his brows full of heroic spirit, "Previously, I asked Commander Chen to make a show of being invincible and deceive the Nan Yao army. However, Commander Chen let the Nan Yao army die.
Relax your vigilance, this is also the reason why we can achieve a great victory. We have previously ordered Governor Chen to be given a grand burial. In addition, we have decided to confer him the title of Lord Protector and grant his descendants a thousand acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of gold."
"Your Highness is wise!" the generals said in succession.
Mu Jingnan raised his hand, suppressed their voices, and raised his voice and said: "Our country of Dongyue has always made clear rewards and punishments, and has never been stingy with rewards for its meritorious ministers. All the generals came to this border with me, and they have traveled a long distance and the journey has been hard.
, and now that we have won another victory, we should be rewarded. However, today the enemy is in front of us, and the rewards are not enough. This palace has already ordered us to prepare a banquet to reward the three armies. As for the rewards for the generals, we will discuss their merits when we defeat the Nan Yao army.
reward!"
"Your Highness is wise!" the generals below said loudly, all in high spirits.
Chen Songyang nodded unconsciously. It seemed that His Highness was indeed not a simple person.
Soon all the generals in the hall went out to eat meat and drink, leaving only Chen Songyang and Mu Jingnan in the hall.
"Your Highness, why don't you go have a drink with everyone?" Chen Songyang said, looking at Mu Jingnan who was still looking at the official documents in the hall.
Mu Jingnan didn't even raise his head, and continued to look at the official document in his hand, "You can just go, I don't like drinking very much."
Is it because he really doesn't like drinking, or is it because he is facing a powerful enemy, so he has to stay alert at all times? Chen Songyang looked at Mu Jingnan above with admiration. When they led the troops forward together, he had been eating and living with the soldiers.
, I am afraid that very few people can do this, let alone the future emperor and the current prince.
"Your Highness, has there been news from Liangdu recently? Now that the second prince is alone in Liangdu, I am worried..." Chen Songyang thought for a while and said suddenly.
Mu Jingnan closed the official document in his hand and looked at Chen Songyang, a solemn look flashed in his eyes. Then he shook his head and said, "Don't worry about him, he won't do anything extraordinary. As for keeping him in Liangdu, this palace has its own problems."
arrange."
After listening to these words, Chen Songyang nodded and said with admiration: "I am not afraid of His Highness's blame. Now that I see His Highness's demeanor, I can't help but think of General Dugu back then. The same decisiveness in killing and unparalleled bravery."
"General Chen is my grandpa's favorite general. He has been taking on the most important task in recent years, guarding the safety of East Vietnam. This is the first time for me to lead troops. If there is anything inappropriate, I would like to ask the general to point it out." Mu Jingnan nodded.
He said harmoniously to Chen Songyang.
Chen Songyang said quickly: "Your Highness has betrayed me. Although it is your first time to lead an army, your marching formation is as solid as a veteran general. I really don't dare to do it."
"General Chen is becoming more and more humble." Suddenly a laugh came, and a man in black clothes outside the hall came in, looked at Chen Songyang, and said with a smile, "If only Dad knew that his grandson could be praised like this by the general
, I’m afraid I’m going to laugh out loud.”
Looking at the person in front of him, Chen Songyang was stunned, and then said with a smile: "It turns out to be the second young master. I haven't seen him for a few days. The second young master is still charming. I have seen the second young master before." As he said this, he was about to salute.
Guyao Cheng stopped him directly and said jokingly: "If dad knew that I received such a great gift from you, I'm afraid he would come and scold me in his dream."
Mu Jingnan's peaceful brows instantly condensed when he saw Guyao City. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "General Chen, there is nothing going on here in this palace. You go and celebrate with the soldiers."
After hearing these words, Chen Songyang came back to his senses and said: "That minister will retire first." After saying that, he nodded to Guyao City and retreated directly.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Liangdu?" Mu Jingnan stared at Guyao City and said in a deep voice.
Guyao Cheng stopped smiling, looked at Mu Jingnan, sighed and said, "I was originally in Liangdu, but Yun Yan asked me to come here."
"I don't need you here, go back!" Mu Jingnan frowned, a hint of anger flashing across his expression.
Shaking his head, Guyaocheng's expression also darkened, and he whispered: "I know you are worried about Yunyan, but it's a pity that it's too late, something has happened over there in Liangdu!"
