160: Help you win the throne
Mu Huanyan rode on the back of the horse skillfully, Mu Yaotian was shocked, when Huanyan would ride a horse, he never knew.
This daughter has already begun to change, and he doesn't know her anymore. All these years, is it really him who has neglected her? There is such an excellent daughter, but he never knew it.
Mu Yaotian thought of Huang Hanyun, how could the daughter she gave birth to be too stupid?
Chu Yichen's team was also ten miles ahead, before it started, it was impossible for him to come over with the main force to attack, Mu Yaotian hung a war-free card, how did he know if there was a trap waiting for him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Ling Ran, Mu Huanyan and Deputy General Yue came out of front of the formation on horseback, Chu Yichen had already seen this scene standing in the distance, and immediately raised his vigilance and looked ahead.
Ling Ran rode his horse to a hundred meters in front of Chu Yichen and stopped.
Chu Yichen saw at a glance that there was a woman in the team, and there was a red mole on the woman's eyebrows, she was not Mu Huanyan, who else could there be!
Before he could speak, Ling Ran raised his hand and said, "Chu Yichen, I am Ling Ran, the prince of Shengguo, I came here today to bring the main force of our army to help you fight for the throne, I don't know if you have the sincerity to cooperate with me?" ”
Ling Ran's voice was very loud, and all the soldiers behind Chu Yichen could hear it clearly, and even a small number of people turned their heads and ears.
Chu Yichen didn't care about these words, he just stared at Mu Huanyan, as early as last year, he heard the minister of Sheng Guo mention Mu Huanyan, and he thought that this woman was a man who was captivating the country and the city, and he saw it today. Although the appearance is not stunning, it looks like the eye edge feels good. Such a smart woman, he has long wanted to see it.
"Ling Ran, I am the second prince of Xiangguo, I have a royal brother, and it is not my turn to inherit the throne, and now we are at war with each other, do you want to provoke the feelings between our brothers when you say this? I really didn't expect that the dignified Prince Sheng Guo couldn't beat us, so he came up with such an unbearable means. It's disgusting. ”
Hahaha......
Ling Ran laughed a few times. continued: "Chu Yichen, I don't believe that you really don't want to be the emperor? You can deceive others with these high-sounding words, but you can't deceive me, I am the crown prince. I couldn't be clearer about the princes' thoughts. Chu Yichen. Don't be so subtle, with my Shengguo to support you, you can be the emperor of Xiangguo. Such a great good thing is in front of you, if you really want to miss it, then I will find your eldest prince to cooperate. ”
"I'm sitting upright, I don't want to think about what you said at all, but the woman next to you, can it be Miss Mu Huanyan?"
"You really have good eyesight, she is the county lord of Heyue in our Shengguo." Ling Ran glanced at Mu Huanyan beside him.
"Why don't we renegotiate the terms."
"Please."
The corners of Chu Yichen's lips raised, "Prince Ling Ran, as long as you are willing to hand over Mu Huanyan, I will consider withdrawing from the army, and our two countries will negotiate peace and never fight." ”
"Don't forget, at the beginning, your Xiangguo was a vassal to my Shengguo, but now you take the initiative to provoke a war, our army has not taught you a lesson, you still want to be with the county lord of Yue, how can I promise you?"
"Since you don't want to, then let's not talk about this matter, wouldn't it be better to go to war directly."
"Okay, you're not interested in the throne at your fingertips, so Prince Ben doesn't want to bother with you anymore! Let's go! ”
"Wait!" Chu Yichen called Ling Ran, but he didn't speak to Ling Ran, but looked at Mu Huanyan, "Miss Mu, I have heard about you, your wisdom, I deeply admire, I am fortunate to be able to see your true face today, I am very happy in my heart, I have never met you, I am very fond of you, as long as you are willing to marry me as a concubine and promote the friendship between the two countries, I will withdraw from this war and let your father go." ”
Chu Yichen wanted to marry her as a concubine in front of so many people, how could Ling Ran swallow this breath, his hands were clenched tightly, and his joints gurgled.
"Chu Yichen, Huan Yan will not marry into another country, you have died of this heart!" Ling Ran replied coldly, wanting to snatch Mu Huanyan away, it was impossible.
"You're not Miss Mu, how do you know what Miss Mu thinks? Miss Mu, can you consider my opinion? ”
Mu Huanyan smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Thanks to the second prince's love, it's just that it happened suddenly, and there were some accidents, I can think about it, and please give me some time, and in three days, I will tell you the answer." ”
When Ling Ran heard this, he immediately answered, "If the county lord of Heyue decides to marry you as a concubine in three days, then my Sheng Kingdom will definitely support you even more to win the throne." ”
Mu Huanyan glanced at Ling Ran, and was happy in his heart, he really hadn't forgotten what they were going to do today. If this sentence is thrown out, it will be even more solid that Chu Yichen wants to conspire with the Shengguo army.
Three days is enough time for this news to reach the ears of the eldest prince.
Then, three days later, it will be the critical moment of their decisive battle, and whether they can turn defeat into victory depends on this game.
The reason why Chu Yichen would say such things is also because he values Mu Huanyan, he has heard of her deeds for a long time, such a smart woman, being by his side, must be a good thing, looking at the four countries, he can find a few women like her, he really has the intention to marry her, however, he has invisibly fallen into the trap set by Mu Huanyan.
Ling Ran led the team back to the camp, and the words he released believed that they would soon reach the ears of the Grand Prince of Xiangguo.
However, what is unexpected is that the next day, the emperor of Xiangguo was assassinated and died, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Xiangguo did not spread the matter, and secretly summoned the second prince Chu Yichen back to the palace, and only allowed him to go back to worship, the reason is that it is not appropriate to let too many people know, so as not to confuse the army's heart.
And this news, someone sent a letter to Mu Huanyan again.
After reading the letter, she said: "Xiangguo was assassinated. ”
"Okay, it's really good, in this way, we will definitely win this battle."
Upon learning of Emperor Xiang's death, Chu Yichen was in great pain and immediately decided to return to the palace alone, but was stopped by Li Lu, the deputy general beside him.
"Second Highness, you must not return to the palace at this moment."
"No, my father is gone, I have to go back to see him."
"The eldest prince may have laid a net waiting for you, and we must not go back!" The situation in the palace Li Lu knew very well in his heart that the eldest prince and the queen mother were ambitious and coveted the throne for a long time.
"Don't worry, I was already prepared before I came to the battle, the guards in the palace, including the Nine Gates Admiral of the capital, have long been my people, and the eldest prince can't afford to set off any storms."
"Second Highness, when you return to the palace, what should you do on the front line, if Sheng Guo suddenly attacks, the dragons are leaderless, how to deal with the enemy,"
"So, this place is going to be handed over to you, you fight this battle for me, and you must capture Mu Huanyan alive. We have an army of 50,000 and 30,000 enemies, and we have the chance to win, you attack according to the strategy I designed for you, and this battle will be won! As long as the news of my father's death does not spread, we will definitely win. ”
After Chu Yichen explained the matter to Li Lu little by little, he was ready to set off.
Shengguo's army also roared with mournful music, and paper money flew all over the sky.
"What are they doing?" Chu Yichen screwed it tightly together.
A group of dead soldiers dressed in sackcloth rushed to the Xiangguo military camp on horseback, shouting: "Emperor Xianghuang has died, you still surrender quickly, and our army can still leave you a whole corpse." The voice shouted over and over again.
Chu Yichen asked those dead soldiers to be shot to death one by one, but what they said was transmitted to the army of Xiangguo, and the soldiers were in chaos.
Chu Yichen's fist slammed heavily on the table, "Damn, how did they know the news of their father's death, could it be that their father's death had something to do with Sheng Guo?" ”
"Second Highness, the situation is critical now, what should we do?"
"I have to go back to the palace, otherwise, if the eldest prince ascends the throne, then I will never have a chance to revive Xiangguo, and Xiangguo will inevitably die if it falls into the hands of the eldest prince."
Then, Mu Yaotian had already led a large number of troops and rushed out from behind the mountain, directly subtending to the Xiangguo army.
Ling Ran also followed Mu Yaotian to the front, and Mu Huanyan was sitting in the military tent, waiting for the news of their victory, and still holding the two letters in her hands, the handwriting in the letters was very unfamiliar, Mu Huanyan really couldn't think of a way, who was behind her to help her.
The news of Emperor Xiang's death came and the morale of the army collapsed.
Li Lu was very anxious in his heart, he said: "Second Highness, if it really doesn't work, you lead our light cavalry back to the palace quickly, take away 30,000 soldiers and horses to help you seize the throne, and I will deal with Xiangguo with the 20,000 soldiers and horses left." ”
"That's all there is to it now."
He had been planning this battle for a long time, and he saw that he was about to win, but because of the chaos caused by the sudden death of his father, he had to return to Beijing to seize the throne, and the front line was flawless.
Before leaving, Chu Yichen said to Li Lu: "Behind Qiyang City is Qidong City, Qidong City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can you really not keep Qiyang City, you can only abandon it, hold Qidong City, and arrive outside Qidong City. ”
"Second Highness, I understand, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible, and you are afraid of another incident later."
Now, the Xiangguo Palace has been in chaos, and Emperor Xianghuang did not leave an edict because of his sudden assassination, and the people of the eldest prince are already planning how to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
Chu Yichen was fast, leading 5,000 light horsemen to the capital Lin'an at the fastest speed, and 30,000 soldiers and horses were following closely behind.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind, led by Li Lu, resisted the Sheng Kingdom.
The two sides fought for only half a day, Xiangguo had been defeated and collapsed, and had retreated to Qiyang City, which was originally still living and working in peace and contentment, Qiyang City, which was still living and working peacefully, was now in a mess and fled to Qidong City.
