Chapter 56: The Expedition
When Yiqian, the guard of Suquan City, who was stationed next to Liquan City, received a request for help, he immediately ordered his troops to set off, but unfortunately he was still a step late.
When he arrived with his troops, he was surprised to find that the 100,000 troops of the Demon Realm were stopped outside the door by Qiu Ziduan and the rest of the people, and there were girls, children and even old women on the city tower who were stubbornly resisting.
Under the city tower, the old high pile of corpses is high, and blood is flowing everywhere. Qiu Ziduan still has the few remaining people, covered in blood, and those who can no longer support it are still wielding knives to resist.
Yu Yiqian's eyes turned red instantly, and all the soldiers behind him were moved by this scene. "Kill—" Yu Yiqian shouted, and immediately rode his horse towards the city gate.
Yu Yiqian led 50,000 people to fight with the Demon Realm Army for a while, and the Demon Realm Army also caused a lot of losses. The Lord of the Demon Realm saw that reinforcements were coming, and he didn't know if there would be reinforcements later, so he retreated with Mingjin.
Seeing this, Yu Yiqian immediately helped Qiu Ziduan, and ordered his subordinates to return the only remaining "soldiers" on the battlefield to the camp.
The deeds of Liquan City immediately spread back to the Imperial City and spread all over the streets and alleys.
Ye Shaochuan looked at the battle report and couldn't help shedding a few tears. Ye Minghuan was even more in tears.
"Daddy," Ye Minghuan choked up, "This demon realm is too rampant!" ”
"Yes," Ye Shaochuan said, his eyes full of disgust and hatred for the Demon Realm.
"Daddy, let's go to the battlefield!" Ye Minghuan said eagerly.
"Huan'er, this war is only a local war, and the emperor will send troops to it."
"Unless it's a large-scale, large-scale war, I won't go to the battlefield." Ye Shaochuan sighed and said, "After all, I am the commander of the Ye family's army, and I must be in the Imperial City of Beijing and completely obey the orders of the emperor, so that the emperor and the royal family can rest assured." ”
Ye Minghuan lowered his eyes, and the blood in his heart cooled a little. She knew that this must be to prevent the emperor and courtiers from suspecting and making mistakes.
Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been in charge of the army, but why should their own loyalty be suspected? How can the line between loyalty and non-loyalty be clear? This is a question that Ye Minghuan couldn't figure out.
"Huan'er, it is estimated that the emperor is about to summon his father into the palace. You go back first, I'll sort out the battle report. Ye Shaochuan saw his daughter's careful thoughts, so he touched her head to show comfort.
Ye Minghuan lowered his head and nodded, and then left.
Ye Shaochuan looked at her distant back and sighed silently. In fact, judging from this operation in the Demon Realm, sooner or later they will engage in a large-scale war, and it is only a matter of time before they go on their own. The matter of sending Ye Minghuan to the Tai Academy must also be planned in advance.
The emperor summoned Ye Shaochuan and a group of generals and ministers into the palace. He looked at the military report handed over by Ye Shaochuan and sighed secretly.
"What do you think?"
Hearing this, Jiang Rongfeng immediately stepped forward and said, "Emperor, now that Liquan City has suffered such a catastrophe, the demon world is so rampant, according to the ministers, this still needs the Duke of Yingguo to calm the people's hearts and calm this chaos." ”
"Emperor, the minister seconded the proposal." Zhang Hou and Xu Hou of Ling Xuanche's party also played.
Ye Shaochuan's right-hand man, the brave general Jin Chuyu, said, "Emperor, according to common sense, it is only a local battle now, and there is no need for Ying Guogong to go out in person." ”
"General Kim, these are extraordinary times, so we should not talk about it." Jiang Rongfeng said again.
"Emperor, the minister also thinks that what Jiang Shoufu said is very reasonable." Zhang Hou said.
When Xu Hou heard this, he immediately answered, "The Demon Realm will definitely not stop here, and Ying Guogong can make plans early when he goes." ”
Emperor Zun nodded when he heard them say this.
But Ye Shaochuan had doubts in his heart. If Jiang Rongfeng wants to transfer himself away, he can still understand it, after all, if he leaves, he will change people to continue to arrest Zhenbei Xianjun and Liuhou and others, then they still have room to maneuver.
However, why Ling Xuanche and his party are only involved in the case of some small officials is more than that. It stands to reason that they should oppose their own departure, so that they can ensure that the important ministers of the prince's party can go to prison and have no possibility of turning over.
And now, they also made a statement to Emperor Zun that they let themselves go to the border, there is only one possibility, they are going to Ye Minghuan. If their goal is Ye Minghuan, then there will definitely be danger when they go out this time. Because only by getting rid of themselves can they get their wish.
But these are just speculations, he hopes, but he thinks too much.
Emperor Zun said again, "Ying Guogong, what do you think?" ”
Ye Shaochuan observed the words and saw that the emperor agreed with the views of Jiang Rongfeng, Zhang Hou and Xu Hou. He had no choice but to say, "The minister will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!" ”
When Emperor Zun heard this, he immediately said, "Okay! Ying Guogong, Zhenbian Hussar General Ye Shaochuan listens to the order! ”
Ye Shaochuan immediately knelt down and said, "The minister is here!" ”
"Emperor Ben ordered you, three days later, order troops on the battlefield, go to the border pass, recapture Liquan City, and drive the demon world out of my realm!"
"Yes!"
Ye Shaochuan and his subordinates finished discussing the military situation, and when they came back, it was already late at night.
After he returned home, he did not go directly to the room to rest, but went to Ye Minghuan's room. He looked at his daughter's sleeping and calm face, and the irritability and uneasiness in his heart dissipated in an instant.
"Huan'er," he said secretly in his heart, "Daddy hopes that he can always be by your side to accompany you and guard you." ”
