Chapter 1 The battlefield is in shambles

Next Chapter

Liguo border. Suburbs of Xianning.

The sun was rising, the smoke had not yet dissipated, and in the wilderness full of corpses, a hand full of blood slowly stretched out from the pile of corpses.

"Temple...... Your Highness, look at that ......"

The man with a grim expression looked at the direction pointed by the personal guard, and was stunned in his heart, and gave an order.

"It's a living mouth, go and save people!"

"Yes, His Highness the Prince."

The guards who received the order ran to the pile of corpses, and struggled to turn over the corpses, and finally saw that it was actually a small soldier wearing a military uniform with the word "glass" that was pressed under the corpses.

The guards were overjoyed.

"It's our soldiers."

The prince finally had a hint of comfort in his heart.

"Zhuo Yi, hurry up and bring this wounded soldier back to the barracks for the military doctor to treat."

"Yes, His Highness the Prince."

Zhuo Yi took the order again, picked up the wounded soldier, and he hurried to the side of the barracks.

The crown prince stayed alone, looking around at the mess on the battlefield, and with a deep sigh, he followed behind the guards with a lonely expression, and his thoughts returned to the palace hall a few days ago.

At that time, His Royal Highness's civil and military officials pleaded one after another.

"Your Majesty, my country is now short of materials, if we send troops to Xianning again this time, it will increase the burden on the treasury, so please ask the emperor to take it back."

"Please ask the emperor to take back his fate!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor, whose hair had turned slightly white, looked indecisively at the crown prince, Ji Jingyu, who was standing alone.

After pondering for a moment, the emperor finally made a decision.

"What the secretary said is right, now that the treasury is in an emergency, if the army is transferred to Xianning at this time, it will greatly increase the cost of military salaries, and the northeast region of our country is facing floods, and the southwest region is facing locust plagues, and the appropriation project is urgent, prince, I believe that with the current strength of the 5,000 army in Xianning, it should be more than enough to fight against the enemy army of Hengshui State."

Hearing this, Ji Jingyu couldn't help but take a few steps back, 5,000 soldiers of the Liguo country against the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Hengshui country?

This battle has not yet started, and Ji Jingyu can already guess whether he will win or lose.

Looking coldly at the officials of the Manchu Dynasty who opposed his rescue, Ji Jingyu couldn't wait to cut off all these moths in the court.

It was precisely because these insatiable ministers wanted to get money from the northeast and southwest that they united to oppose his rescue.

You must know that Xianning belongs to the most important stoppoint on the border of Liguo, if this checkpoint is broken by the enemy, then the enemy army will be able to break into Liguo.

The country will not be there, even if these corrupt officials end up greedy for a dime of those disaster funds, then they will not be the same as the slaves of the enemy country?

Be greedy, let these insatiable people eventually go to a dead end.

"Hahaha......"

Looking up to the sky and laughing, Ji Jingyu stepped out of the hall in despair, and just as he was going out of the gate, Feng Xingchen, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, blocked his way.

"Prince, please stay!"

"It turned out to be Miss Feng, I don't know what Miss Feng did when she stopped His Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Xingchen heard that you were going to lead troops to Xianning to rescue, but you were impeached and stopped by the civil and military officials, although my father was also involved, but he asked me to come to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in private."

Ji Jingyu nodded, and he asked Feng Xingchen to continue.

Feng Xingchen glanced at him shyly, and she said: "My father said that our Feng family is willing to bear all the expenses of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lead the troops to Xianning alone, but there is one condition-

If the prince's reinforcements can successfully repel the enemy army in Hengshui Country this time, then he hopes that Xingchen can become the prince's concubine, I don't know what the prince wants? ”
