The army of the Xun family practiced in the city under the leadership of the imperial princess, and was always ready to go out of the city to chase the battle.

When Cao Yuan heard about this, he hurriedly rushed from his camp and bowed down to persuade him, "Your Highness, our Daqi troops are not as many as the combined forces of the two countries. If you go out of the city to chase the battle, it is inevitable that you will not be caught between the two ends and trapped in it, please think twice about Your Highness. ”

The empress had her hands on her back, looking down at her own soldiers under the city, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sinister smile.

"General Cao is afraid that he is old and has little courage.

Although they have a lot of soldiers in Beixing and Kite Kingdom, after all, they are fighting in our territory of Daqi, and in terms of familiarity in the field, we are naturally the most familiar with it.

Therefore, we are not without a chance of winning this war. Besides, our soldiers of Daqi are no less inferior when they fight! ”

Cao Yuan's eyes froze, he didn't know what to say, and in the end, he simply didn't say much, walked down the city tower alone, and sighed long in a place where no one was.

"General Cao!" A little soldier came up behind him and called out to him.

General Cao was startled, for fear that his sigh would be found and reported to the empress dowager, and he would inevitably be scolded again, so he quickly hid his emotions and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Highness has an order, let General Cao lead his troops out of the city to suppress the enemy immediately."

Cao Yuan's footsteps slipped, a little incredulous, "Now." ”

The soldier nodded, "Yes!" ”

Cao Yuan also wanted to go up and ask the princess for advice, but an old lady in front of her walked down, her face was tense, her eyes were icy, and she looked like a difficult person to mess with, "General Cao, His Royal Highness said that if the general refuses to lead the troops to fight, he will hand over the military power, and she can lead the troops herself." ”

Cao Yuan didn't have anything to say, instead of letting people take away the military power, it was better to lead the troops to fight by himself, "The minister will send troops immediately." ”

Not long after, Cao Yuan led the troops out of the city, and the queen daughter looked coldly on the city wall, watching him go out of the city, and immediately ordered the Xun family army to guard the city gate.

Cao Yuan walked a long way before he turned back to look at the city wall and shook his head and sighed, he was afraid that he would never return when he left the city, but he hoped that Xun'er would receive his letter and act according to his orders.

In the coastal county, Cao Xun had already received his father's flying pigeon biography, and he had read the contents of the letter, but he was a little hesitant about the matter mentioned in the letter that made him take refuge with the five princesses.

First of all, Cao Xun's relationship with the five princesses has always been good or bad, even if he is willing to take refuge at this moment, it is difficult to guarantee that the five princesses will not refuse to accept him because he is the identity of the queen daughter.

Secondly, are the five princesses really the ones who can hold up the overall situation, so what about Your Majesty? If it really comes to the time when the five princesses turn the tide, what situation will Your Majesty be in?

The Cao family is no better than others.

The Cao family was the first male general promoted by the first emperor, and because of the power in his hands, he was always feared by the empress of the dynasty, so if the Cao family took refuge in the five emperors, it would be equivalent to opposing the empress, if the empress was still on the throne at that time, wouldn't their Cao family destroy their future?

But my father's words always sound like the empress will not punish the Cao family, why is this?

Cao Xun couldn't figure it out, so he didn't rashly lead the troops to take refuge, and still stuck in the barracks and didn't come out.

This Cao Yuan has already led troops to camp in Beixing and Kite Kingdom.

The two countries couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw that only one army of the Qi State came, but after the strangeness, it was funny, come one, do you want to play an empty city plan with them?

The premise of the empty city plan is to have a city, and now there is no shelter in the plain here, and it is clear if there are traps at a glance.

Therefore, both countries feel that it is fat meat sent to the door, and they don't eat it for nothing.

In an instant, the hilts of the knives intersected, and the generals of the two countries shouted, "Kill!" ”

Soldiers from both countries rushed like thousands of horses.

Although Cao Yuan knew that he would definitely die in this battle, he still ordered his soldiers to set up a battle to meet them and resist desperately.

As the saying goes, if we are equal in strength, we must outwit the enemy. If there is a big difference in the strength of the enemy and us, we can attack it.

It just so happened that Cao Yuan used a smart enemy, while the two countries used a strong attack.

The generals led by Cao Yuan, under the intersection of the hilts of the soldiers of the two countries, were almost cut off like a sickle cutting leeks, even if Cao's soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they could fight with one enemy and three, but they only killed a few more enemies, and the end was still the defeat of the Cao family.

But when the Cao soldiers were exhausted little by little, the two countries successively received the news of the cessation and return to China.

The generals of both countries were a little puzzled, seeing that they were about to win, why they wanted to stop fighting.

Some of them were unwilling, thinking that since they couldn't attack the city gate of the Great Qi Kingdom, it would be better to kill a general of the Great Qi Kingdom, so they chose to disobey the military orders outside.

"Kill—"

The soldiers of the two countries immediately ordered people to surround Cao's army.

The general Cao Yuan saw his soldiers dying one by one, and he was anxious and angry, angry that the imperial princess should not choose to lead troops to fight at this time, let alone not send reinforcements.

At this time, the general of the Kite Kingdom received an order from his majesty, demanding that the troops must be withdrawn immediately, otherwise they would ignore the king's order and be dismissed from their posts.

The general of the kite country had no choice, glared angrily, and led the troops to retreat.

General Beixing snorted coldly and gave him a look of contempt, coward!

But the next moment, he also received an order from the lord of Beixing, and he had no choice but to retreat with his troops.

In this way, Cao Yuan and several other soldiers were spared death.

At this time, in the main tent of the Kite Kingdom, the empress looked coldly at the prince Huan who ran back, the corners of her flame-like mouth were slightly slanted, revealing a smile of contempt.

"You knew you were coming back, I thought you wouldn't come back if you went."

The empress beckoned to him, and beckoned the prince to come over in the same posture as an owner beckoning a pet.

Prince Huan lowered his eyes, and his breath was suddenly cold, but he did not resist, and walked over obediently, half-kneeling in front of the empress.

The empress pinched his chin with her hook hand, forcing him to look up at herself, and the empress's eyes turned gloomy, "Don't think that you really think that you are a treasure because of my favor."

I can spoil you and abolish you.

After so many years, you have never forgotten a dead person in your heart, and if you don't take me seriously, it is a capital crime, and I can kill you! ”

Prince Huan was pinched painfully, fine sweat oozing densely, his face became more and more pale, and his thin body seemed to be able to fall down as soon as the wind blew, but he was always strong and did not let himself fall.

"Your Majesty can kill me. But you'll never get your hands on the mecha blueprints after killing me! ”

The empress's eyebrows jumped, and then she let go of the hand that was pinching his chin.

"Where's the drawing?"

"On my royal sister."

"Li Qingqing?"

"Yes. If His Majesty wants, stop the war and withdraw his troops and return home. I'll talk to my sister. ”

The empress looked incredulous, "Can you convince her stubbornness, don't be persuaded by her." ”

"She has always listened to me the most, as long as I speak, I will definitely be able to do it."
