Chapter 48: The War Stalemate
The fact that the lord of Hengyu Kingdom was shot by a hidden arrow when he united Qi Guo and Lian Tuoguo to attack Yunzhong City of Rong Guo is no longer a time to hide on this side.
General Wang was shot down from his horse on the spot, Heng Yuguo's subordinates immediately rescued the main general and withdrew to their own camp, Qi Guo and Lian Tuoguo looked at the cloud city that was already on the end of the strong crossbow, of course, they were also a little reluctant to stop, but Heng Yu Guo had already retreated, and the troops brought by his two sides were not much, and in the end, they could not necessarily capture the cloud city.
General Feng was also a little surprised when he received the news, he didn't expect that the coalition army that would have been able to capture Cloud City very easily would still have such a change, but listening to the report, this time the Lord of Hengyu will be injured by a dark arrow, it shouldn't be that simple.
General Feng stood at the gate of the mansion and watched the snow that had been falling for almost a day and a night finally have a tendency to stop, but with such a thick layer of snow, this battle was really lost.
"The charcoal fires were distributed earlier, and the brothers of the patrol soldiers should not slack off in the slightest," General Feng ordered, and the last part of the wounded soldiers outside the water city were also moved back to the city one after another, after all, the effect of keeping warm was better than a house made of stone.
However, Heng Yuguo's deputy envoy was a little anxious to go back, it seems that Heng Yuguo is really going to have an accident this time.
Ouyang Zhan had already sent the news back to Hengyu National Capital by letter, as for which side released the dark arrow this time, Ouyang Zhan personally felt that it would be not beneficial to check it out.
Although some subordinates saw the dark arrow shot from the camp of Qi Guo, but Qi Guo is not comparable to the Rong State in front of him, even if it is not much weaker than the current Hengyu Kingdom, and the three countries are joint operations, what good does it do them for Qi Guo to shoot the main general of Hengyu Kingdom.
And the one who gets the biggest benefit is Rong Guo's side, maybe this is just a counter-trick made by Rong Guo's side.
It's also General Wang's carelessness, it's really carelessness.
The lord of Hengyu Country was silent when he was not sent back to Hengyu Kingdom's camp, Ouyang Zhan looked down at the arrow mark that almost pierced the side neck of General Wang, it was really a one-hit kill, could it be that there was still such a master of martial arts in Rong Country?
Qi Guo naturally heard some rumors, but the prince on Heng Yuguo's side was still polite and had never been rude, Qi Guo was a dumb loss this time, and naturally he was not happy, so he had to hope that he would find the murderer as soon as possible and return his innocence.
But after all, he is the chief general of the two countries, even Ouyang Zhan does not have the right to leave the main generals of Qi Guo and Lian Tuo Guo in the camp of Hengyu Kingdom.
Therefore, I had to let the main generals of the two countries plan first, and it was impossible for Heng Yuguo to easily move troops in a short period of time.
"Don't think about it too much, it's impossible to change the current status quo if you think about it anymore", Qin Jue sat under Ouyang Zhan in a black robe, there were only these two people in the huge camp, and the people stationed around the camp were also Ouyang Zhan's own cronies.
"Then in your opinion", Ouyang Zhan looked at Qin Jue, who suddenly came back before his injuries were healed, so it seemed that the news from Qiangguo's side was not slow.
"You can't catch the murderer", Qin Jue said categorically by playing with the wine glass with residual warmth in his hand, of course he can't catch it, the people are almost back in the palace of the Qiang Kingdom, no matter how much you want to break your head, you can't imagine that Her Royal Highness the dignified Princess Qiang would sneak into the border and kill the chief general of the Allied Powers at such a risk.
There is no fact that you won't believe if you say it, even if Qin Jue sees it with his own eyes, he can't believe it, let alone other people.
Moreover, Heng Yuguo and Qi Guo have already had some suspicions, and Ouyang Fa still wants to defeat Rong Guo, even if he is angry in his heart, he will not spill his anger on Qi Guo's body.
Ouyang Fa is a person like him, this time he lost a main general in the court, and the Wang family now has no suitable person to send here, Heng Yuguo is already ready to fly, and there is no reason to retreat, and Hengyu Guo has already captured a Shangyuan City, and Qiang Guo has also captured a water city.
If this time if the opportunity is really given, the Rong State will inevitably be incompatible with the Hengyu State, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to move the other three vassal states to send troops or something.
And the other general in the court is not Ouyang Fan's faction, Ouyang Fa naturally will not give up the battle of capturing Rong Guo to others, so the remaining one is the most suitable one......
"I think you're still ready to take over the three armies," Qin Jue said as he looked at Ouyang Zhan.
"You mean the Imperial Brother will give me the position of Lord General?" , Ouyang Zhan also knew that Ouyang Fa had always been suspicious of him, so he avoided participating in many things that came out, for fear of accidents.
This time, if he inherits the lord of Hengyu Kingdom......
"Don't think about backing down, the body of the lord of the country is definitely not as good as it seems on the surface, this time Ouyang Fa even gave up the army and had to stay by the side of the lord of the country, you can see it", Qin Jue still said what he thought in his heart, this prince who has the grace to save his life, talent, virtue, and open-mindedness are rare among the princes of Hengyu Kingdom, but his background is poor.
And his temperament is also a little habitual to give in to Ouyang Va, how can Ouyang Va's person be a good person, he really ascended to the position of the lord of the country, and it is very common for the bird to hide the bow.
"Do you think I'm too cowardly", Ouyang Zhan looked at Qin Jue with a little crying and laughing.
"He is the son of the queen, although he is not the eldest son of Hengyu Kingdom, but he is the rightful son of Hengyu Kingdom, and the queen's family has been prosperous in Hengyu Kingdom for several generations, and there are many henchmen in the court."
Qin Jue was also a little silent, there were many high-ranking officials behind Ouyang Fa, but according to Qin Jue's temperament, it was definitely not that he did not have the determination to fight to the death, at least now Ouyang Fa has no military power in his hands.
"And my biological mother is humble, if it weren't for the queen's kindness, I wouldn't have the current me, so I never had the idea of competing with the royal brother, although the imperial brother has a lot of suspicions about me, but ......."
"I know what you're thinking about, when the princes of Hengyu Kingdom are fighting, lest the final result be just Hengyu National Politics uneasy? The deputy general's subordinates will listen to you and have no complaints, but I just hope that this time I will return to the capital, and the prince will protect me", Qin Jue also looked at Ouyang Fa with a wry smile and said.
"Zi Fu is not a general's talent, follow me to wronged you, the imperial brother will be able to see your talent in the future, and you will be able to show your skills in the future of Hengyu Kingdom."
Qin Jue smiled and said nothing, Ouyang Fa was afraid that he was not a day or two, now he just saw that he couldn't get up, and he didn't have the intention to kill, so he didn't dare to say it in the future.
I thought that this time I would come over, the main general would be General Wang, and he would definitely deliberately dry himself aside, and he really guessed well, if the war starts here, he will let himself bring a few pairs of weak soldiers to help Qiang Guo.
The general of Qiang Guo is not a fool, what kind of soldiers he brought over, but he didn't say anything, and he also worked hard for half his life, and if he was injured, he naturally had to repair and recuperate.
As a result, the ghost gate was closed and opened his eyes, and Heng Yuguo's people went back, so he threw himself alone in the camp of Qiang Guo, should he be glad that the general of Qiang Guo was still a little conscientious, and he didn't see Heng Yuguo treating himself like this and treating himself lightly without asking.
And...... Qin Jue thought about these experiences of time, and he also felt a little stinky in his heart, and who had been by his side for so long was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom?
Ah, although this can't be shown off or anything, it's good to imagine being happy.
"How do you feel about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom?" , Qin Jue asked out loud.
Ouyang Zhan looked up at Qin Jue, who suddenly had this question, "Why do you have this question?" However, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom is different from what I have seen, and her appearance and methods are extraordinary......."
Qin Jue opened his narrow phoenix eyes and looked at Ouyang Zhan, who praised Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom, who had endless momentum.
"What are you laughing at?" , Ouyang Zhan looked at Qin Jue's long eyes, and also realized that he had said a little too much, but he avoided Qin Jue's gaze a little weakly.
"Didn't you fall in love with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess at first sight?"
Before Ouyang Zhan could speak, the tips of his ears turned red first, "People are the eldest princess, don't talk nonsense behind people's backs."
"I didn't say anything nonsense...... either."
"The position of the imperial brother's concubine has not yet been determined, and the side concubine is only one selected by the queen's mother's family, and there are no heirs under her knees, and the imperial brother has already mentioned this matter to the lord of the country the last time he went back, presumably after the war is over, maybe ......."
"Don't worry, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom may not be able to look down on Ouyang Fan", Qin Jue put the wine glass in his hand on the table, stood up a little depressed and walked out.
"Ziman, don't make the imperial brother angry again, I will definitely protect you."
"There are more princes", Qin never turned around and said a word and walked out of the camp, it was cold and snowy outside, but unfortunately, how could he put his life in the hands of others.
Moreover...... Qin Jue raised his hand and touched the long scar on his face, besides, he had already said a lot in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
How can a gentleman be untrustworthy?
Oh, Xiao Jue's ambition does seem to be very ambitious now
