Anseong, the entire city is on alert, and the city is hung with a war-free card. Below the city, thousands of Nanyao troops were waiting for them.

"Look, the prince of Dongyue doesn't dare to go out of the city now, and he's huddled in the city." A general of the Southern Yao Kingdom pointed to the soldiers in the city and shouted.

"Yes, I guess we were scared, and this war-free card has been hanging for several days......"

"Haha......" burst into laughter.

In the Ancheng Mansion, the hall was full of soldiers, all with solemn expressions and buried their heads, but the anger on their faces was difficult to hide.

In the hall, Mu Jingnan was dressed in armor, looking at the map in his hand, his brows tightened. There was a faint black aura on his face, and he coughed in a low voice from time to time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this Nanyao army has been clamoring for several days, let's send troops." One of the generals below suddenly stood up and said.

As soon as these words came out, many generals seconded the proposal, "Your Highness, let's send troops, if it goes on like this, it will not be good for the morale of our army." ”

Chen Songyang also looked at Mu Jingnan above, as if waiting for his decision.

Seeing that all the generals had spoken, Mu Jingnan put down the map in his hand and looked at the people below, he raised his voice and said: "Since we fought with Nanyao's army, except for the first and second battles, our army has been defeated and retreated, and its vitality has been greatly damaged. ”

"Your Highness, you mean that we are retreating?!" Immediately, a soldier stood up and said, "How can this be, Nan Yaojun will definitely think that we are afraid of them." ”

"That's right, Your Highness, let's go out of the city to fight, even if we die in battle, it's better than retreating like this." Another soldier said.

Chen Songyang frowned slightly, looked at Mu Jingnan, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, are we really going to withdraw from the army?" ”

Mu Jingnan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "We must retreat, all the generals go down and prepare, and gather in the city in an hour!" ”

"Your Highness...... all the generals stood up one after another, "Don't retreat!" ”

"Smack!" With a bang, Mu Jingnan's hand slapped heavily on the table, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his narrow Danfeng eyes, "Execute the military order!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers below shook their heads helplessly and went out.

"Hey, I thought he had some skills, but now he has become a turtle with a shrunken head."

"We've never been like this in so many years of fighting......"

"Let's go, let's go, it's his ...... if this country is lost"

……

Looking at the generals who went out, Chen Songyang looked at Mu Jingnan above and was about to speak.

"Ahem......" Suddenly, Mu Jingnan coughed violently

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Chen Songyang was startled, quickly stood up and stepped forward.

Mu Jingnan shook his head, put his hand down, and looked at the black blood on his hand, he frowned.

"Your Highness, are you coughing up blood......" Looking at the black blood on Mu Jingnan's hand, he exclaimed, "Are you poisoned?!" The minister will send you a doctor immediately. ”

Hearing this, Mu Jingnan waved his hand, he wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, and he looked outside with cold eyes, "Don't make a noise, quickly arrange for the soldiers to retreat to avoid casualties." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we are careful and careful in everything about your diet, who is this who poisoned you?! The minister must find him out," Chen Songyang said indignantly.

Mu Jingnan stared at the front and said coldly: "They didn't poison the diet, but they added poison to the candlestick in the room of the main hall. Once inhaled, it will be poisoned and fatigued. ”

It is no wonder that since the second victory, the prince has not led troops into battle again, and his face has been dull recently, and he has not even been out of this palace. If you think about it carefully, who is most beneficial for His Highness to be poisoned, it is self-evident who poisoned him.

"Your Highness, does this poison really matter?" Chen Songyang said with concern.

Mu Jingnan shook his head and said in a low voice: "The main hall is temporarily suppressing the toxin with internal force, and there will be no danger to his life. ”

Hearing this, Chen Songyang put his mind at ease and said respectfully: "Your Highness should put your body first at any time, and the words of the people below don't have to care, the ministers must act according to your will, and the ministers believe in your decisions." ”

Nodding, Mu Jingnan said indifferently: "In this way, the retreat depends on General Chen." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will do it well, Your Highness will prepare for this, and the minister will retire first." Chen Songyang saluted, Mu Jingnan nodded, and he withdrew directly.

Not long after Chen Songyang left, Lonely City came in.

"How's it going, how do you feel now?" As soon as he came in, Gu Yaocheng said to Mu Jingnan, his expression was solemn, they had been guarding against Yan Lingxiao's conspiracy, so they were very careful in their diet, but in the end, the mechanism was leaked, and he didn't expect him to poison the wick. But there is no one in and out of this Ancheng at all, how did he give the medicine, so it can only show that there is a mole.

"Ahem......" Mu Jingnan coughed in a low voice, he calmed down a little, and said lightly, "It's okay, the people in the city have all evacuated?" ”

Lonely City nodded, "We have already evacuated, and now only the soldiers are left to make the final retreat." ”

Hearing this, Mu Jingnan looked ahead, and a trace of depression flashed in Danfeng's narrow eyes, "It seems that it's time for us to act." ”

Nanyao Barracks

In the king's tent, Yan Lingxiao looked at the topographic map on the table, his handsome face was full of relaxation and indifference, listening to the conversation of the generals below.

"I see, this time the prince of Dongyue is already exhausted, and he has been losing battles before, and now he is even more frightened and dare not go out of the city to face the battle." A general said with a laugh.

"That's right, today we call the battle, he is still hanging up the free battle card, it seems that the acquisition of East Vietnam is just around the corner." Another general responded.

"A gentleman prince, who still wants to win our elite soldiers, is a fool's dream-"

……

For a time, everyone in the camp laughed at the incompetence of Mu Jingnan and the Dongyue soldiers.

Only one of them looked gloomy, as if he was thinking about something.

"Why has the marshal been silent from just now until now? Did you think of something? Yan Lingxiao looked at the people below, and her eyes suddenly fell on Wei Changming.

Wei Changming suddenly came to his senses, he looked at Yan Lingxiao, with a hidden worry on his old face, "Your Majesty, does the old minister think there is something strange about this matter?" The Prince of Dongyue is probably not as simple as we all think. ”

"Oh? What does the marshal mean by this? Yan Lingxiao raised her eyebrows and said lightly.

Wei Changming glanced at the topographic map on the table, frowned and said: "According to the observations of the old minister when he fought with him the first two times, this Mu Jingnan should be an extremely stable person, and he has a pride in his bones, he should belong to the kind of person who would rather die in battle than be a deserter." However, for some reason, he has not been seen on the battlefield since the second battle, and the old minister feels that there may be something inside the middle, maybe they are plotting something. ”

Yan Lingxiao looked at Wei Changming and smiled deeply, "I heard that the old marshal rarely praises people, so it seems that the old marshal has a very high opinion of this Dongyue prince." ”

Hearing this, Wei Changming did not deny it, "If you talk about qualifications, this Mu Jingnan is afraid that this is the first time to send troops, but he is no less graceful in using soldiers than a battle-hardened veteran, plus he has excellent martial arts and strong insight, which is a rare handsome talent in the world." Not to mention the first time he led his troops to raid, let's just say that the second time he fought, he was surprised and skillfully used the formation, which made our army suffer a big loss. ”

"Report ......" Suddenly the voice of a soldier outside came, and the room instantly fell silent.

A soldier outside the camp tent broke in, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, as far as the latest news from the spies is concerned, the East Vietnamese army has abandoned the city and fled. ”

Abandon the city and flee?! Wei Changming looked at the soldiers on the ground in surprise, "Are you sure you abandoned the city and fled, not the empty city plan that you sang?" ”

"Marshal Qiyu, the soldiers who defended the city on Ancheng have also retreated, and now our army has successfully captured Ancheng, according to the news, all the old and young in the city have been evacuated, and they have fled to Fengyang City, which is ten miles away." The soldier said.

Hearing this, Wei Changming frowned slightly, with a slight puzzle in his expression.

"It seems that the old marshal was disappointed this time......" Yan Lingxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at Wei Changming, and looked at the people below, "Now that our army has defeated the East Vietnamese army and fled, you can bring up any thoughts you have." ”

"At present, we should naturally take advantage of the victory to pursue and take this East Vietnamese army by surprise." Immediately, a soldier responded and said.

Yan Lingxiao nodded, "I also have this intention, come here, pass on my order, and attack with all my strength to pursue and kill the East Vietnamese army." ”

"The ministers obey."

Wei Changming glanced at Yan Lingxiao, his brows were furrowed, Song Qing beside him looked at him, shook his head, he sighed and was silent.

In Ancheng, there was chaos everywhere, and it was already empty of people, Yan Lingxiao glanced around, raised her eyebrows and said: "This soldier guarding the city should not have been gone for long, chase quickly!" ”

Outside the city, most of the East Vietnamese army had already gone far, leaving only 3,000 people behind the rear hall. And among these 3,000 people, there is Mu Jingnan.

"Your Highness, if you are unwell, it is better to go first, and leave the affairs of the palace to the ministers." Chen Songyang looked at Nan Yaojun who was chasing after him and said worriedly.

Mu Jingnan shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the main hall will be fine, if the main hall leaves first, I am afraid that it will affect morale, General Chen will take the first step and go to Fengyang City to arrange the city defense, and the main hall will arrive later." ”

"But Your Highness......" Chen Songyang still wanted to say something, but looking at Mu Jingnan's eyes through the armor, the indescribable calmness in those eyes, he finally nodded, "The minister obeys the order!" With that, he rode away with the others.

As soon as Chen Songyang left, Mu Jingnan suddenly coughed violently, and it took him a long time to suppress it, he glanced behind him, Nanyao's army had already caught up with them, he immediately turned his horse's head, looked at Nanyao's army coming from behind, and looked at the bright yellow in the crowd, and a trace of coldness flashed in his deep eyes.

ps: I'm out of the house, and I haven't asked you for leave, sorry, try to make it up tomorrow.
