"Everyone, retreat!" The general shouted.

Mo Xuanyin, who heard the sound of the horn at this time, said with a smile: "The military advisor's expectation is really right, take advantage of the victory to pursue!" ”

The soldiers who had just left the city saw the sound of torches and rumbling horses' hooves in the distance, and they were also frightened and fled in all directions.

Everywhere the cavalry went, there was a wail, and Mo Xuanyin even drew a bow and arrows to shoot the opponent's generals, and made the first contribution, and everyone also killed all the way to the camp of Lanling Kingdom before turning around and returning.

After this sneak attack, the morale of the Lanling Kingdom began to slacken, and in addition to the fact that the catapult had been destroyed, the heart was even more bottomless.

Late at night, Gu Xiqian looked at the burned city in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh a little, is it really good for her to do this?

At this time, Mo Xuanyin on the side walked over, "Your plan is not wrong, it's just that the burned place is the people's home, what we can do is to win this battle as soon as possible, and then help them rebuild their homes." ”

Gu Xiqian looked at Mo Xuanyin, feeling that he had come back before, but now another Meng Qijun appeared to make her afraid that things would be the same as before.

The next day, everyone gathered together to discuss what was going to happen next.

"I think that now that we have launched a counteroffensive against the enemy, after these battles, the enemy has no intention of fighting, this is a good time for us to regain lost territory, and it can form a flanking attack, and it can make them retreat." Thought the general said.

Meng Qijun also agreed with this suggestion, but Gu Xiqian had a different opinion.

"I think now that the other side has won several cities and checkpoints, it is natural to use them as a defensive line, and now that their main force is lost, it is more likely that they will defend to the death, in this case, it is not good to attack."

Mo Xuanyin echoed: "Now that their troops are not evenly matched, they will definitely defend to the death, if we defeat their main force and use their heads to deter them, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Meng Qijun also said that it was feasible, plus what she needed most now was to repel their main force, as for the counterattack, the Lanling Kingdom would be a candle in the wind at that time, and the siege would naturally not be a problem.

And Gu Xiqian hopes to take the city not far away, and then rebuild and settle the people who evacuated overnight.

Subsequently, Gu Xiqian told Meng Qijun about her idea, although it was rejected at first, but later Meng Qijun promised to let King Yan send labor to help.

Gu Xiqian and Mo Xuanyin were wandering around the city, watching the people crying and screaming that their homes were destroyed by the fire, which made Gu Xiqian even more guilty.

And Mo Xuanyin on the side comforted: "Actually, you don't have to be too sad, because even if we don't burn, those people from Lanling Country will burn and loot when they come in, they are a small border country, and leading so many soldiers will naturally be overstretched without food and grass." ”

Seeing that some people were starting to rebuild, Gu Xiqian sighed a little, "In the past, when the first king was still there, the places he went to basically didn't take the things of the people, and there will be an alliance between Yunnan and Yan later." ”

"That's why I admired the former king of South Vietnam, who made me understand what a soldier is, not a bandit." Mo Xuanyin said.

After this battle, the men and horses on both sides have begun to get tired, and even the heavy iron cavalry brought out by Mo Xuanyin has been almost half lost, so in the next battle, we must have a chance to Lanling Kingdom.

Everyone was discussing countermeasures in the camp, and now there are only 30,000 people with Mo Xuanyin, and the other party still has 50,000 people after many losses, so this comparison makes them also worried.

Meng Qijun decided to let Mo Xuanyin lead the heavy iron cavalry to detour to the rear of the other party, and then formed a front and rear attack himself, making them misjudge the situation and knock them back in one fell swoop.

However, Mo Xuanyin was a little worried, so he proposed a night attack, and Meng Qijun agreed to carry it out immediately.

On the other hand, Lanling Kingdom received the emperor's order and began to clean up.

At night, just as they were about to leave, they saw Mo Xuanyin leading the troops over.

"Rush!"

The soldiers suddenly looked helpless, they were ready to leave, and they still called?

Mo Xuanyin saw the soldiers scattering and fleeing, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, until the next morning, the soldiers took advantage of the chaos to take back the several levels they had lost before.

Looking at the people who had recovered the lost land, they admired Gu Xiqian's strategy, and now there are only two cities left to fully recover, and at this time, the Yan Kingdom still has more than 20,000 troops, and it is only a matter of time before the city is recaptured.

As the news of the defeat of the Lanling Kingdom spread, Gu Miaoxuan, who was in the South Yue Kingdom, couldn't sit still.

"County Lord, our people have lost...", the subordinate reported back.

"What? That's an army of 100,000, and there are only less than 50,000 people in Yan Kingdom, and you actually told me that you lost? Gu Miaoxuan angrily slammed the cup on the ground.

"County Lord, now that the general trend has gone, the emperor and the queen also hope that you can go back."

Gu Miaoxuan understood that if she went back, she would be blamed by them, and even questioned, but now that she had lost her position, if she continued to stay here, she might be plotted by Prince Duan at some point.

"I know, clean up, we'll be in Lanling Country." Gu Miaoxuan commanded.

On the other hand, the two saw that the war must have stabilized, so they resigned and said to Yunnan State, although Meng Qijun was a little unwilling, but now there is no reason to keep them, not to mention that there is still Nanyue Country in Yunnan Country, so they have to send them away.

"If Yunnan is in trouble, I will definitely come to help you." Meng Qijun said.

"Thank you, Commander Meng, I hope that the next time we see you, the world will be stable." Mo Xuanyin said with a smile.

On the other hand, although the war was a foregone conclusion, Mo Xun proposed to rest and recuperate at this time, which caused many people to be dissatisfied.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if we take the opportunity to regain the lost territory now, when they recover, we will lose even more." The general on the side said.

"However, you have all gone through the big battle, the soldiers must be tired, and the defeat of the Lanling Kingdom is decided, why don't you take a break to recuperate?" Mo Xun said.

King Yan also agreed with the ministers, after all, the most important thing for him now was to regain the lost territory, and then Mo Xun was locked up and confined.

Meng Qijun, who was on the side, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is also thinking about the soldiers this time, plus the city has been burned down, and the subsequent reconstruction is also a problem, and the minister agrees with the prince's approach." ”

At this time, Meng Qijun's lieutenant also chimed in: "Your Majesty, this time."

When King Yan saw Meng Qijun interceding for Mo Xun, he changed his mind and confined him for a few days to set an example.

Seeing that Mo Xun was fine, Meng Qijun also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was also a prince, and he knew Mo Xuanyin, so he naturally wanted to make friends.

On the other hand, after Mo Xuanyin and Gu Xiqian returned to Yunnan, they were rewarded and canonized by the king of Yunnan, but when they saw Gu Xiqian on the side, their faces suddenly changed a little, why did she stand next to her to receive the reward?

"Emperor, you can only receive the reward alone, even if she is your concubine, you can't break the rules like this." The king of Yunnan reminded.

At this time, the people around got down, and even the queen covered her mouth and snickered.

"Father, actually, this time it was Xiqian who went with me, if it weren't for her, I might have died here." Mo Xuanyin said.

When Mo Xuanyin said such a thing, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, first of all, if a woman accompanied her, if she didn't have important things in the army or important things, she would generally be guilty.

"Then the emperor, tell me, what kind of important position is she in the team?" The king of Yunnan said with a smile.

I saw Mo Xuanyin clear his throat and said: "Father, Xi Qian accompanied her this time, it was military, if there were not many of her, our display would not have been so smooth." ”

The people on the side were speechless when they heard it, even the emperor felt incredible, but since it was Mo Xuanyin who said it, he had to admit her military exploits and reward her in front of everyone.

Gu Xiqian laughed, and Mo Xuanyin on the side was also happy for her.

In the evening, the two were eating in the living room, and Mo Xuanyin looked at Gu Xiqian's expression and laughed.

"How do you feel like being awarded for meritorious service?" Mo Xuanyin asked.

"It's hard to be strict, I feel that the whole person has become very comfortable, and the queen looked at me at that time like her eyes were about to fall out, and it was really happy." Gu Xiqian said excitedly.

Liuyun on the side also laughed, and it was also happy that the relationship between the two was reconciled because of this victory.

At this time, I saw someone come in and report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the queen is waiting outside." ”

"Huh? What is the Queen Mother doing here at this time? ”

I saw the queen walk in and said slightly apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to be eating." ”

Mo Xuanyin immediately ordered Liuyun to greet the queen, but at this time, the queen's eyes were always looking at Gu Xiqian.

"The crown princess, I have worked hard with the army all the way." The queen exclaimed.

"The queen has won the award, and experiencing military life with her husband is also part of understanding her husband." Gu Xiqian said modestly.

At this time, Mo Xuanyin walked over with a look on his face, "I don't know what the queen mother and Xiqian are talking about?" ”

The queen laughed, "It's okay, but I can't help but sigh that I am really a heroine among women, which is really admirable." ”

Later, Mo Xuanyin would also talk about the battle with Gu Xiqian on the border of Yan at that time, basically saying good things about Gu Xiqian, which made her earn enough face.

"It turns out that Xi Qian is so talented, it seems that we have no eyes before." The queen laughed.

After dinner, Gu Xiqian felt that the queen's attitude seemed to be much better than before, but although she said a lot of good things about herself, in Gu Xiqian's opinion, the queen seemed to be hinting at something.

After a while, I saw the queen suddenly stand up and say, "Sorry for the coriander, can you let the palace and the prince say a few words?" ”

Gu Xiqian was a little puzzled, why did she have to tell herself about this kind of thing? Are they telling some unspeakable secrets?
