Chapter 10: Abandonment of the City
After Ye Tianxiong left, there was a lot of noise in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. "Princess, this guy is too arrogant, and the last general asks for troops to capture him. "Yes, get that little back, get that little back too. β
Princess Fengwu listened to the noise in the hall, her face became more and more ugly, and she sprayed a mouthful of blood on the map of Shiyan City. "Princess, princess" all hurriedly gathered around.
"Get out, get out of here!" Princess Fengwu mustered up her strength and yelled at everyone angrily. After yelling, she collapsed limply on the ground as if she had lost all her strength.
In the hall of the Ye family, Ye Yunlei looked at Ye Tianxiong who came back in a huff and couldn't help but wonder, for so many years, he only lost his temper a few times when his legs were incapacitated when he was seven years old, and the rest of the time he was as humble and generous as the uncle he had never met in the Ye family. "Tianxiong, what's wrong?"
"Today, the young master was actually insulted three times, if the young master hadn't stopped me, I would have slaughtered those two stupid pigs. Ling Xian'er waved her little fist and said angrily.
"Big brother, don't listen to Xian'er, how can I be angry for a few ugly words, I'm angry with those generals, what I, who don't know anything about military warfare, can see, those generals can't see it, and they ask those naΓ―ve questions. With such generals, it is difficult for the enemy to lose if he wants to. β
"Tianxiong, what's going on?" Ye Yunlei then asked.
"Xian'er and I went to the city lord today and told Princess Fengwu my idea, what did those generals say I want to completely destroy Shiyan City, which will cause huge losses to the country. Let's not say that the difference in strength is very big, let's just say that with the defeat of 300,000 remnants, the new soldiers can hold this Shiyan City, and there will be no loss if Shiyan City is given to the enemy country.
There are also reinforcements, which can be calculated with a butt, ambushing the empire's 1.5 million royal guards, not to mention that the Praetorian Guards are the most elite troops in the empire, even ordinary troops, and they can also kill him four or five hundred thousand, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance occupies more than 30 cities in the empire, and the garrisons alone add up to one million, and counting these 500,000 troops, what reinforcements will there be. Even if there is a small army of tens of thousands of people, it is difficult for these 300,000 troops to defeat only tens of thousands of reinforcements, and now the Three Kingdoms Alliance is at the end of its life.
There is even more ridiculous, what to do if the enemy army will water, after listening to these words, the dead will be angry with them again. Ye Tianxiong, whose face had already eased, was now cold again. "No, following such an army can only be sent to death, tomorrow you will start to take the Ye family away from this Shiyan City one by one, and tomorrow I will go to persuade the second uncle." β
"Well, when you say that, I don't see any hope. Ye Yunlei said with a sigh.
The heavy rain had stopped in the middle of the night, and Ye Tianxiong, who was already asleep, was woken up, and it turned out that four guards had carried Princess Fengwu, who had fallen into a coma, to see him. Ye Tianxiong examined her in detail, and she fell into a coma because of the poison caused by anger. Ye Tianxiong was forced to use three thousand-core needles to temporarily stabilize the corpse rotting poison in her body, and Princess Fengwu woke up again. She said weakly to Ye Tianxiong: "Let Mr. see me laugh today." β
Ye Tianxiong looked at her weak appearance, and he didn't know why there was a kind of pity in his heart, he said gently: "Princess, Tianxiong is presumptuous, is it difficult for the generals of the Shenhua Empire to be only at this level? Even I, a person who doesn't know anything about military affairs, is not as good." β
Princess Fengwu's pale face showed a bitter smile, and she said helplessly: "Sir, I don't know, in the past three years, almost all the generals of the Shenhua Empire have died on the battlefield, and the rest are on the border and cannot be mobilized. Now these are only promoted from the new army, and there are also some children of domestic princes and ministers. I have already discussed with the master, adopt the advice of the master, and the master will arrange it tomorrow, and the master will also go with the army. β
"Master?" Ye Tianxiong asked suspiciously.
"Oh, it's the middle-aged man you saw, I've been ...... since I was a kid Ahem," said the Phoenix Dance Princess, coughing violently.
"You're still very weak, don't talk anymore, and talk slowly when you have time later. β
In the early morning of the second day, there was news of rebellion in Shiyan City, burning and looting in the city, Shiyan City fell into chaos all of a sudden, and the common people began to flee Shiyan City. Ye Tianxiong was also shocked when he heard this, he was as smart as him, and he quickly understood that this was just a strategy.
After sobering up, Princess Fengwu gave Ye Tianxiong five Sumeru rings and asked him to pack up the Ye family's belongings and prepare to withdraw from Shiyan City with the army.
Soon there was a fire in Shiyan City, the prosperous and lively Shiyan City in the past, has now become an empty city, after the people were forced to escape from Shiyan City, the army also withdrew from Shiyan City, and the people of the Ye family went out of Shiyan City with Princess Fengwu.
After half a day's march, the army set up camp fifty miles outside Shiyan City, and Princess Fengwu sent hundreds of scouts to Pangyang City to spread the news that the Shenhua Empire army was forced to withdraw from Shiyan City because of the rebels.
At the army station, Ye Tianxiong finally met Ye Shaohu, the two Ye Shaoying brothers, and other people from the Ye family. Seeing that their big tent was empty, without any Ye family's property, Ye Shaohu angrily scolded Ye Yunlei for being a loser. After Ye Tianxiong took out five rings, Ye Shaohu stopped scolding, praising Ye Tianxiong for being good, which made the Ye family laugh, and the melancholy of being forced to withdraw from Shiyan City was also diluted a lot.
When Ye Tianxiong was talking to Ye Shaohu and Ye Shaoying, Princess Fengwu ordered someone to invite him over. They could only stop talking, and Ling Xian'er pushed Ye Tianxiong to Princess Fengwu's camp.
"Thanks to Mr. Sir's clever plan, I see a glimmer of hope for defeating the Triple Alliance, and I really don't know what to do if I don't have Mr. Princess Fengwu said kindly to Ye Tianxiong. After Ye Tianxiong arrived at Princess Fengwu's big tent, there were only middle-aged people in the big tent, that is, Princess Fengwu's master was good to herself.
"What kind of plan do I have there, it's just that I have lived in Shiyan City all the year round, and the Ye family has controlled eight weirs so that I can come up with such a plan. Ye Tianxiong replied with a smile.
"Xian'er, we have already prepared all the medicinal herbs and frost rain, I don't know ...... this snow," Princess Fengwu said as she looked at Ling Xian'er.
"Young master, I'll have it whenever I want. Ling Xian'er replied coldly.
"Huh. Ye Tianxiong didn't know why Ling Xian'er was always cold and unhappy when she faced Princess Fengwu. "Today, the princess will take care of her body, and I will detoxify the princess tomorrow morning, I want to make it clear in advance that when I help the princess detoxify tomorrow, she needs Her Royal Highness to take off all her clothes. β
"Good. Princess Fengwu agreed without hesitation. She stood up and continued, "I believe sir, in his eyes I am just a patient, not a woman or a princess. β
Ye Tianxiong looked at this princess of the same age as him in surprise, not only secretly admiring it, it was really not easy to be able to serve as the commander of the army at such a young age. "Hmph!" Ling Xian'er turned her head away with displeasure on her face.
Seeing Ling Xian'er like this, the middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Xian'er has another matter that I need your help with." β
"Old thing, you're the coolie I shouldn't be paid, right? Ling Xian'er turned her head and looked at the middle-aged man coldly.
"Who can please Miss but Sir. The middle-aged man turned his head to look at Ye Tianxiong. Seeing this, Ye Tianxiong could only smile helplessly and said, "Xian'er can help if she can." β
"Hmph! This is the last time, even if you use the young master to pressure me next time, I won't agree. Say, what's the matter?"
"In order to carry out the plan, it is not advisable to mobilize a large army to destroy the levees in order to prevent detection by the enemy, so that Miss Xian'er is in charge of the six dams to the north and east, and I am to be in charge of the dams to the south and west. β
"Why do you look down on me in seven places and me in six places?" Ling Xian'er said with some scoundrels. Hearing his words, the middle-aged man could only smile bitterly and looked at Ye Tianxiong again.
"Xian'er. Ye Tianxiong could only speak again helplessly.
"Humph!"
In the early morning of the second day after the army withdrew from Shiyan City, Ye Tianxiong got up early to prepare to expel the poison for Princess Fengwu, and Ling Xian'er really made a large pot of snow like a trick as she said. Ye Tianxiong looked at the snow he had never seen before, he really didn't know how Ling Xian'er did it, he also wanted to ask, but he knew how Ling Xian'er would answer him. "There are some things that the young master can't tell you. β
