Chapter 436: Yongning Mansion
Xue Zhen guessed what he was thinking as soon as he saw Lu Feng's expression, and his face suddenly turned slightly cold: "Marshal Lu Feng, although His Royal Highness has been appointed as a prisoner, all he thinks about is the soldiers who are fighting in the north and the people who are suffering.
After speaking, Xue Zhen turned his horse's head and went back to his life.
Although Lu Feng is young, he has also been mixed in the DPRK and China for decades, although most of them are in the military camp, how can he not hear the coldness and warning in Xue Zhen's words.
After being stunned, Lu Feng smiled bitterly: "I'm too aggrieved as a marshal, right?"
Supervising the army, as the name suggests, is the officials who supervise the army, in other words, it is to restrain the existence of the army generals.
Therefore, there is no general who does not fear the prison army, and at the same time is extremely disgusted.
LΓΌ Feng is no exception, he has personally experienced the battles that led to his own defeat due to the forcible interference of the prison army in combat command, and he was on the verge of death several times, so he has always been suspicious of the post of the prison army.
"Phew!"
"Arriving at Yongning Mansion before dark, this is obviously deliberately embarrassing us!"
"I said a long time ago that Wei Zhengxian didn't have a good heart, such an important battle actually let the prince who had never experienced a war be the supervising army, I really don't know what the emperor thought, he actually agreed!"
"It doesn't matter what the emperor thinks, the Seventh Prince is messing around, can't we also mess around? β
The generals behind Lu Feng naturally heard their conversation, and immediately said with a face full of anger.
"Shut up!" Lu Feng turned his head and scolded, and said in a cold voice: "Don't forget what we are going out for? If we offend the Seventh Prince, how can we fight this battle? What we have to do is not to give him any excuse to make trouble, so that he can do nothing to us, and we can concentrate on killing the enemy and serving the country!"
The generals were unwilling to say, "Do you want to let him do whatever he wants?"
"Don't worry, there is a limit to how much the Seventh Prince messes around, otherwise the north will be defeated and fallen, and he will not be able to escape the emperor's questioning. Lu Feng said lightly, but there was a wry smile in his heart.
If he were to be an ordinary prison army, with his temperament, he would simply ignore the other party, but the prince was in charge of the army...... I really can't afford to mess with it!
"Pass on the commander's order, the whole army accelerates, be sure to rush to Yongning Mansion before dark!" Lu Feng ordered in a cold voice, and the first one rushed forward frantically.
β...... Yes!" the generals glanced at each other with a wry smile, and injected a trace of spiritual yuan into the Red Flame Horse, and their speed suddenly increased dramatically.
There was a herald to the rear of the army, and the whole army was in an uproar, and there were many people who were dissatisfied with the military order, but the military order was like a mountain, and the marshal and the generals rushed out from afar, so they had to hold their breath and rush forward frantically.
"Your Highness, is it really good for us to do this? I'm afraid there are a lot of complaints in the army. After Xue Zhen went back and forth, Zhao Zilong took his original position and whispered.
Yang Yan's face was expressionless: "What does this have to do with this prince?"
The guards were stunned for a moment, and soon understood, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Yang Yan asked Xue Zhen to give orders directly to Lu Feng, and those who knew about it were Lu Feng and a few generals, but it was Lu Feng, the marshal of the North Road, who sent orders to the whole army, that is to say, even if there were complaints in the army, it was aimed at Lu Feng, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with Yang Yan.
As for whether Lu Feng will say that it is the order of the prince's supervising army, hehe, as long as Lu Feng is a little smarter, he will not say so.
This inconsiderate, cold-blooded and ruthless black cauldron, Lu Feng is determined.
"Your Highness is brilliant!" the guards exclaimed with admiration on their faces.
Yang Yan hurried to the road expressionlessly, but he glanced back from the corner of his eye, and after the whole army accelerated, the smoke and dust behind him became farther and farther away, and the sound of horses' hooves became smaller and smaller.
Although he couldn't see anyone, Yang Yan could imagine Ye Yuning's anxious expression, and sighed slightly in his heart.
"Xue Zhen, give you an errand. Yang Yan thought for a moment and spoke.
"Your Highness, please command!" Xue Zhen said immediately.
A moment later, a Red Flame horse sped away from the group......
On the curved and long official road, the soldiers lined up in a long line ran with all their might, and Yang Yan and a group of guards ran with all their might, constantly crossing from the back of the army, driving in front of the army, and the speed did not decrease at all.
Such a move made the officers and men of the whole army have a great impression of this Seventh Prince, and their morale increased greatly, and their resentment began to subside unconsciously, and they only felt a steady stream of power in their bodies.
Even His Royal Highness the Prince has no hesitation and rushes to the forefront, what reason do they have to complain?
They are soldiers, can't they endure hardships compared to the pampered young prince?
For a while, many soldiers were working hard for the goal of reaching Yongning Mansion before dark, even if the spiritual energy in their bodies was constantly consumed, they had to grit their teeth and persevere, refusing to give up.
Passing through several cities, the city lord led the whole city officials to greet at the city gate early, looking at the yellow tooth flag at the head from afar, full of joy, but saw that the sound of horses' hooves did not slow down at all, carrying billowing smoke and dust across the country, only leaving a sentence in the wind, "Military affairs can not be delayed, folks, go back!"
Watching the fiery red red horses line up in a long line and go straight across the country, even the infantry behind the cavalry did not mean to slow down even though they were sweating profusely and panting, and the city lords and officials who were covered in dust were dumbfounded.
Since ancient times, the army that has been levied has not been resting in every city, and when the city lord and officials open the city gate to greet them, even if they are not happy, they will dismount and greet each other before continuing to set off, but this army ......
Even this process was saved, and there was no slowing down at all, as if such a big city and so many people didn't see it, what kind of army is this?
The people in the city showed their heads one after another, looking at the army as if they were in a no-man's land, full of curiosity.
As the sun set, the glow of the red glow shone on the earth, dragging out long shadows, and tired men and horses were still running.
"Your Highness the Seventh, what perseverance!" Lu Feng turned his head to look at Yang Yan, who was on a par with him, and sincerely admired.
"Marshal Lu is not bad. Yang Yan said lightly, his forehead was covered with sweat, in order to make the Red Flame Horse not lose his vitality under the extreme speed, he had injected spiritual energy into the horse, and the consumption of spiritual energy was very huge after running with all his strength for so long.
"Hehe, there are two hundred miles ahead to Yongning Mansion, and Your Highness will insist on it. Lu Feng was very relaxed with the support of a deep spiritual element, and said with a smile, looking at this Seventh Prince a lot more pleasant.
Perhaps as Xue Zhen said, the Seventh Prince's move was to rush to the front line as soon as possible to support, rather than deliberately embarrassing him.
Yang Yan didn't speak.
When the sun set, the last glimmer of light disappeared, and finally, a city entrenched for dozens of miles came into view.
Yongning Mansion!
The speed of the army's march began to slow down, and when it was still a hundred zhang away from the city gate, Yang Yan pulled the reins, and the Red Flame Horse stopped, and the personal guards also stopped.
"Stop!" Lu Feng waved his hand, the whole army stopped, and many soldiers couldn't help but relax their whole bodies, lying on horseback or sitting on the ground panting.
"Count the number of people!" Lu Feng said to a general behind him.
"Yes!"
After a short time, the general came back, his face was not very good-looking, and he clenched his fists and said: "Report to the marshal, the number of people has been counted! There are 63,453 people in total, including 52,111 cavalry and 11,342 infantry! In addition, General Yan Cheng and General Li Kuo are not there!"
When the words fell, Lu Feng's face sank, there were only more than 63,000 people left in the 200,000 army, and more than 130,000 people were left behind, which was really a long face for him.
The corner of his eyes unconsciously glanced at Yang Yan, and sure enough, Yang Yan happened to look over, there was no joy or anger on his face, and he said lightly: "Marshal Lu Feng, what are you going to do with the 130,000 people who arrived without obeying the military order?"
"This ......" Lu Feng was embarrassed, although he hated iron and steel, but how could he say that the 130,000 people were also the main force on the expedition, and they couldn't all be punished because of this, right?
"Your Highness the Seventh, when we set off, it was already three o'clock, and now it is the end of the unitary time, and it has only been more than six hours since the full battle, Yongning Mansion is more than 1,800 miles away from Beijing, it is indeed too reluctant, why don't you give it a little more time?" Lu Feng said hesitantly.
"Marshal Lu Feng, you won't understand the truth of military orders, right?" Yang Yan said lightly.
"This ...... What does His Highness think?" the corners of Lu Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he simply kicked the ball to Yang Yan.
"Take them all, of course. Yang Yan said indifferently.
"Huh?" This time it wasn't just Lu Feng, even the guards opened their mouths wide, thinking that something was wrong with their ears.
Not to mention taking these 130,000 people, how can the remaining 60,000 people resist the million army of Blood Moon, and it is a big problem to take down the 130,000 people who are fully equipped.
If you stir up the rebellion of these 130,000 people, things will be a big deal.
"This will be a big mess! Your Highness think twice!" Lu Feng said with a frown.
"Needless to say, we are in the city, and the prince who arrived during this time can not be investigated. Yang Yan waved his hand lightly, and walked towards the gate of Yongning Mansion under the support of the personal guards.
Lu Feng's face changed a few times, and finally sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Enter the city!"
With the shouting of one of the guards, Zhang Dali, Yongning Mansion was instantly lit up, and there was a noisy and chaotic sound.
The prefect Li Xiankun was woken up in his sleep, and hurried to the city gate with a scolding all the way.
Although he had already learned that the imperial court had sent 200,000 troops to support the northern battlefield and that the army would be supervised by the Seventh Prince, he never dreamed that it would come so quickly, and it would be impossible for the rapid march to cross thousands of miles to Yongning Mansion so quickly, would they fly?
"Li Xiankun, the prefect of Yongning, didn't know that His Royal Highness the Seventh had arrived, and he missed the distance, so I ask His Highness to forgive me!" Li Xiankun wiped his cold sweat and gave a deep salute.
"This prince will stop here tonight, and I will bother the prefect to arrange it. Yang Yan nodded and said lightly.
"Yes, I heard that the army is heading north, and the lower officials have already arranged it, Your Highness the Seventh, Marshal Lu, all the generals, please!" Li Xiankun breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, and said respectfully.
"Marshal Lu Feng, let the soldiers be stationed outside the city gate, and all the people who come behind will be taken, and if there is resistance, it will be punished as a rebel, and it will be killed. Yang Yan gave a faint order, rode his horse into Yongning Mansion, accompanied by the personal guards, and Li Xiankun led the way in front.
Lu Feng smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly.
