『Chapter error, click here to report』

Shangguan Tianyu was still confronting Nanchu, and although the Dongyu Kingdom on King Chen's side had retreated, King Chen was worried that they were pretending to retreat, so he did not rush to bring his troops back to the court, but made careful arrangements just in case.

Sure enough, Qi Meng, the general of the Eastern Yu Kingdom, came back with a large army to kill, and this time, they also added a lot of archers and crossbowmen. Originally, the people of Dongyu were particularly good at riding and shooting, and these were not good at Beichen Kingdom.

Qi Meng rode a horse and shouted loudly not far from the city wall, "His Royal Highness King Chen, this Chinese New Year, you don't accompany your wife at home, but you still run out to fight, just for your incompetent emperor?" ”

"Qi Meng, this king wants to spend the New Year at home, but there are some nasty beasts rushing to disturb the border pass, and when this king cleans up these beasts, our emperor can sit back and relax." King Chen said lightly.

"His Royal Highness King Chen, when you say that, General Ben really feels a little sorry for you. Originally, this throne was supposed to be yours, but you let someone else usurp the throne to confuse the royal bloodline, and you don't know that your father will definitely die if he knows about it. After finishing speaking, Qi Meng looked up to the sky and laughed, and the dozen or so cavalrymen who followed him also laughed.

Qi Meng's words caused many people to speculate about the meaning of this discourse, what is it called confusing the royal bloodline, although they have also heard that the current emperor is usurped, but no matter what, it is the blood of the first emperor, and whoever is the emperor is the same, but this Qi Meng actually said that the current emperor is confusing the royal bloodline, which is not the same as saying that the emperor is not the blood of the first emperor?

This is simply a big scandal in Beichen Kingdom, how can there be such a thing? This must have been said by Qi Meng on purpose, in order to make King Chen have some doubts in his heart, so that they would have a chance of winning, yes, that's it. All the soldiers comforted themselves in their hearts.

And after King Chen heard these words, he was not much moved, his father said that he had so many children, but Nangong Anyi made him not like it, and this Nangong Anyi did not follow his father and mother, if so, what Qi Meng said was not groundless.

However, now that the enemy is present, he must first repel the enemy, and then go back to investigate slowly, if this is the case, he will definitely not let his father's throne be stolen by an unrelated person.

"Qi Meng, you don't have to use such a means to disturb the morale of the army, you led the troops to attack our country's border pass, should it be just to tell this king? Whether these things are true or not, they are also internal affairs of Beichen Kingdom, so you Dongyu don't have to worry about it. King Chen said coldly.

Qi Meng didn't expect that after he said so much, this King Chen still didn't react at all, did he really not care about the throne, or did he already know all this? However, listening to his tone, he shouldn't know these things, so when he said this, he was just forced to calm down, since this is the case, then give him another dose of heart booster, and see how long this King Chen can last. Qi Meng secretly calculated in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness King Chen, General Ben is just kindly reminding you that even if you don't care about the throne, then what about the death of your mother? Don't you ever care? Qi Meng took a long time.

Hearing this, King Chen was slightly stunned, what? The death of his mother? Could it be that the death of the queen mother is related to Nangong's comfortable life experience? My mother's body has always been well recuperated, even if there is any discomfort, that is, she will be cured after taking a few medicines, how can she die because of untimely treatment? If this is the case, this matter, after he goes back, he really has to investigate it carefully.

Qi Meng saw that King Chen didn't speak for a long time, and knew that King Chen had doubts in his heart, in fact, their Dongyu Kingdom had no intention of attacking Beichen for the time being, and the reason why they attacked them was nothing more than waiting for King Chen to come and pass these news to him.

King Chen shook his head vigorously, leaving all the words just now, Qi Meng's words obviously had an effect on him, it was better to solve the matter at the border pass first, and then go back to investigate.

"Qi Meng, don't use these things to disturb the king's heart, what kind of wishful thinking you Dongyu is playing, can you really not see it when this king can't see it? You have so many crossbowmen and archers, don't you tell the king that you're just putting on a battle to scare us, right? King Chen said coldly.

Hearing this, Qi was so angry that he almost fell off the horse, this King Chen really didn't eat hard and soft, he had told him so much, he thought it would disturb his heart, but he didn't expect him to be able to crawl his thoughts so quickly. No wonder King Hui said he was a difficult character.

"Your Royal Highness King Chen, General Ben told you so many things because I wanted you to have a balance in your heart, don't make wedding dresses for others. Since the prince is so unappreciative, the general can't say anything more. Tomorrow, the general will lead troops to attack the city, and His Royal Highness King Chen must be ready. "Finished speaking. Qi Meng laughed and walked away.

The next day, the two armies faced off outside the city, and King Chen had prepared the ammunition mixed with poisonous powder, which would come in handy in just a few moments when he attacked from a distance.

The horn sounded, Qi Meng took the lead in rushing out with a team of cavalry, and King Chen also rushed up with cavalry to fight, and then the battle became more and more fierce, because Beichen's soldiers are not good at riding and shooting, it is easy to suffer at this time. Han Jiang stood on the city wall and watched the battle between the two sides, and found that although the other party was good at riding and shooting, there were also flaws, and when King Chen came back in a while, he could tell King Chen.

The battle between the two sides soon became white-hot, and Qi Meng did not expect that the soldiers of the Beichen Kingdom, who were not good at riding and archery, would be able to fight with them for so long, especially the king of Nachen, as if he had inexhaustible energy, and the more he fought, the more powerful he became. Looking at their side again, they are already showing fatigue, and if they continue to do so, I am afraid they will be defeated.

Thinking of this, Qi Meng ordered people to blow the horn and lead the troops to evacuate, and King Chen did not rush to chase after him, but led the troops back to the city to recuperate. At the end of a war, both sides suffered casualties of varying degrees. Hanjiang also went back and forth among the wounded to heal.

The wounded all sighed that this new military doctor's medical skills were really clever, and they didn't know where the prince found it, if it was before, the knife wounds and arrow wounds on his body would not have been cured at all without three or five months, and the medicine of this military doctor could be put on armor again after more than a month.

In the big tent of Qi Meng of Dongyu Kingdom, Qi Meng picked up the wine glass on the table, drank a few sips and then slammed the wine glass on the ground, "This King Chen is really not ordinary difficult, he has told him so many things, even the death of his mother, can he not care?" ”

"General, according to his subordinates, he doesn't care, but he cares very much in his heart, seeing that King Nachen is so brave, he just wants to fight quickly, so that he can go back and find out these things." Zhu Kaidao, the deputy general beside Qi Meng.

"Do you really think so?" Qi Meng raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes, and we can also pass this matter into Beichen, especially Yuncheng, and then we are shooting King Chen, and when the time comes, Beichen will be in chaos. Waiting for the emperor to occupy the Beichen Palace, the general's credit must be the first. Zhu Kai said flatteringly.

Hearing this, Qi Meng raised his head and laughed, Zhu Kai's words naturally entered his heart, the emperor promised him, if he destroyed the Beichen Kingdom, he would no longer be a general but a prince, and when the time comes, the north and south of the Yangtze River will not be left to him to choose? Thinking of this, Qi Meng was even happier, and then picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a few sips.

That night, King Chen was inspecting the city tower, but found that Han Jiang was also on the city tower, and immediately walked over.

"Why haven't you rested? If you let your second sister know, this king will be scolded. ”

"Lord Wang, as long as you don't say it, she won't know. And today I also checked on the city tower, and I found that although the cavalry of Dongyu Kingdom looked very strong, it was obvious that those horses were a little tired, and if we did anything in their water source, I believe they should be easily repulsed. Han Jiang said softly.

Hearing Han Jiang say this, King Chen was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that Dr. Han Jiang could see the weakness of the opponent's cavalry, but it was not easy to do anything in the water source, the river outside the city was not only the water source of the other party, but also the water source of the people in the city, which was also the reason why they would not do anything in the water source. If you do something with the water, will not the people of this city also suffer?

Han Jiang saw the worry in King Chen's heart, and then continued: "Lord Wang doesn't have to worry, although the water source is the same, we can poison the place upstream, and then put the antidote in every well in the city, so that it will not cause any harm to the people in the city." ”

"Is that okay? If we can, then let's do it, poison, Lixue brought a lot of it before going out, but I put most of it in the ammunition, in order to prevent the other party from attacking, besides, I don't have an antidote. King Chen sighed.

Hearing King Chen say this, Han Jiang hooked his lips and smiled, "Has the prince forgotten that Han Jiang is a doctor?" Since the doctor can detoxify and naturally make poison, I will prepare some tonight, and tomorrow morning when they start to make breakfast, throw the poison into it, and they will inevitably be recruited. ”

Only then did King Chen understand why Chu Lixue had to take him to the expedition with Hanjiang, and let him be a military doctor to save people, and it should be more to solve problems for him at this critical moment. Thinking of this, King Chen's understanding of Hanjiang has a more layer, and he really deserves to be the children of the Chu family, all of them are good.
