Chapter 438 - Breaking Tang Triumph

When Zhou Min woke up, he found that he was lying quietly in the wing, his eyes moved slightly, it was twilight, and the afterglow of the sunset passed through the window lattice, reflecting into the room, as if the night war was just a dream of Nan Ke.

"Could it really be a nightmare?" Zhou Min muttered to himself, and when he wanted to get up, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, which made this famous Qi Yun general suddenly wake up, and instantly recalled the night battle outside the valley.

"It's not a dream... Where am I? Is Qi Yunjun winning or losing? What happened to His Royal Highness?" Multiple questions instantly filled Zhou Min's heart.

I made up my mind and wanted to get up to investigate, but I didn't expect that the injury was serious, and I was about to stay for a moment, Zhou Min's body was unstable, and he immediately fell to the ground, and the noise made also alarmed the people guarding the door.

Hearing the door open, Zhou Min, who didn't know where he was, instinctively guarded himself, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the armor style on the soldiers who entered the door.

The one who rushed into the room was the sergeant wearing Qi Yun armor, and when he saw that Zhou Min had woken up, he immediately said happily: "General, you... You're finally awake!".

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned his head to the other soldier and shouted, "Quick, go and report to the world, the general is awake!"

Only then did the other man come back to his senses, turn around in a hurry, and leave with a report.

"Where am I? How's the battle going?" Zhou Min's injuries were not light, but he still remembered the battle of Qi Tang, endured the severe pain in his chest, and asked the soldiers.

"General Qiyu, we have won a great victory, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World... He broke the Tang army in the valley, our army beheaded 30,000 in this battle, captured more than 8,000 people, captured countless weapons and horses, the rest of the Tang army was defeated and fled, has fled to the Win River, His Royal Highness the Prince has led the army to go out, and pursued it..."

"Great... A big victory, 30,000 against 100,000... How did the prince do that?" Zhou Min didn't seem to have fully recovered his senses.

The soldier's eyes were full of reverence, Xu heard the general's doubtful voice, and hurriedly replied: "The general must have been seriously injured by the Tang thief, the head of the Tang army thief, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was defeated in one move, and then was captured by His Royal Highness the Prince, and our army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill..."

Hearing the soldiers gushing endlessly, talking about the heroism of the prince defeating the Tang army, Zhou Min finally heard the method of defeating the enemy of the prince, and recalled in his mind that it was as if he was killing the god in blood, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart, he had fought with Tang Zaixing, and he also knew that this Tang army commander was a top master.

"One move was defeated, and then he was captured, is what you said true?" Zhou Min muttered several times, incredulous.

When the soldier saw his own general like this, he hurriedly said: "How dare the villain deceive the general, the prince was defeated in one move, and another recruit captured the chief general of the Tang Army, but the villain and all the Qi Yun soldiers present saw it, that move... Tut-tut, it's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is a senior disciple of Xiao Junshi..."

Seeing that the soldiers seemed to reminisce about Qi Shao's heroic posture of defeating the enemy, Zhou Min not only did not show ease, but revealed a heavy melancholy, several visions above the valley were too weird, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was also aware of his own skills, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is a martial arts wizard, and he has only arrived at the realm of knowing the sky since he was a child...

He fought with Tang Zaixing in front of the formation, he was able to use condensation and transformation, at least he was already a half-step grandmaster, although His Royal Highness the Second Prince knew some military array martial arts, but it was impossible to defeat Tang Zaixing, who was a half-step grandmaster, in just one move, why in just one night, the martial arts realm of the Second Prince could advance by leaps and bounds to such a point.

Regardless of the severe pain in his chest and abdomen, Zhou Min thought carefully about the reason, and finally remembered that it was originally planned to ambush the valley of the army, not to say that before the confrontation between Qi and Tang, the vision in the valley, the second son rashly marched, and it was after being trapped in the valley that he had this kind of cultivation.

After making up his mind, Zhou Min gritted his teeth and got up, and asked the soldier, "You said that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World captured the commander of the Tang Army alive, where is he now?"

Seeing that the general was injured and got up, the soldier only said that he was worried about the war, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't worry, the general can not escape, His Royal Highness the Prince has personally led the army out of the city and chased and killed, and it won't be long before he comes..."

"Lao Tzu asks you, where is the leader of the Tang army now?" Zhou Min was anxious in his heart, and he stopped the soldiers.

The soldiers didn't know why their own general was like a great enemy, and when he saw that the general was angry, he hurriedly came truthfully: "Tang... And the head of the thief was imprisoned

In the city of Luzhou... But..."

Before the words fell, seeing that Zhou Min had already gotten up and went out, the soldiers hurriedly caught up with him and informed the prince of the military order before leaving the city.

"General... When His Royal Highness the Prince led his army to leave Luzhou, he ordered that no one should interrogate Tang Zaixing... General, your injuries are not healed... General, slow down."

Zhou Min just wanted to find out what happened to Shizi, regardless of the soldiers behind him, endured the severe pain, and walked out of the small courtyard where he was housed.

When he got out of the courtyard gate, he realized that he was not placed in the military camp in the city, and he was just a courtyard of a wealthy family in Luzhou City, and his heart suddenly became suspicious.

His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, although not as good at leading troops as the Great Prince, but he is good at internal affairs, when Qi Yun was in the time, he had made a statement to the King of Qi Yun, advocating that the generals and the soldiers eat and live together, so that the soldiers can return to their hearts, and now he places himself outside the military camp in the city, which seems to be very different from his political views...

In the courtyard, there are dozens of elite soldiers guarding, seeing that the general has woken up, the dragon and the tiger walk straight out of the courtyard door, overjoyed, each marching military salute.

Zhou Min didn't have the heart to return the salute one by one, straightened his clothes a little, and commanded: "Wait as soon as possible to take me to see the leader of the Tang army who was captured by His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will know the movements of the Tang army."

On weekdays, Zhou Min's order came out for a moment, and someone had already been ordered to go, but today until a moment after Zhou Min gave the order, these Qi Yun soldiers still knelt on the ground with a military salute, and none of them acted according to Zhou Min's military order.

"Wait for this, do you want to disobey the military order?" Although Zhou Min treated the sergeants leniently on weekdays, during the war, he attached great importance to military discipline, and when he saw that the soldiers did not lead the army, he immediately shouted angrily.

"The general misunderstood!" Sergeant Shicaifang finally caught up with the general's pace, and when he saw Zhou Min being furious, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"It's not that you guys are going to disobey military orders, but... Rather—" The soldier seemed to have a difficulty, and he stopped talking.

Zhou Min felt more and more that something was wrong, his eyebrows straightened, and he scolded angrily: "And what, the people of the army, what are you twisting! Say it!"

"It's... It's—" The soldier didn't know how to speak, stumbling, but never spoke.

Just when Zhou Min wanted to be angry again, he only heard a calm voice in the courtyard: "Okay, since the general has woken up, you don't have to wait anymore, just go back to the camp!"

When I heard the prestige, I saw a person with a thin face, high cheekbones, slender eyes, dressed in a fur robe, walking here, it was the military teacher's plan.

"Master Fan... You've come just in time." Zhou Min, who seemed to have noticed something, looked at the departing Qi Yun sergeants, as if he had caught a savior, opened his mouth in a panic, and in a hurry, he pulled his chest and abdomen with internal injuries, causing him to cough nonstop.

Fan Mou's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes flashed uncertainly, and he spoke unhurriedly and slowly: "In the battle of the Dumping Valley, General Zhou took the lead, broke the Tang army, and was seriously injured, he should cultivate well at this moment, why do you ignore your body..."

Before Fan Mou finished speaking, Zhou Min had already interrupted: "Master Fan, it's not too late to talk about these later, let me ask you, have you been staying in the city?"

With a slight sweep of his eyes, Fan Mou stroked his beard and said calmly: "Yes, Fan Mou strictly obeyed the order of the general, led the army to defend the city, and never left."

Zhou Min knew very well that Xiao Fulin and Fan Fushao were set by King Yun, and Fan Mou had been by the side of the second son, if the prince had an abnormality, Fan Mou would definitely be able to see it, and hurriedly asked, "Has Master Fan ever found anything wrong with the son?"

Fan Mou sighed slightly: "General Zhou ordered Fan to lead the army to defend the city, until he heard that the prince was trapped in the valley, Fan's heart was already in turmoil, and when the whole army went out, he heard that the prince had broken the enemy and returned... The sky has eyes, like the son of the world... I really don't know how to face the old man of King Yun."

Fan Mou did not answer Zhou Minzhi's question directly, but this pun seemed to remind Zhou Minzhi intentionally or unintentionally.

How could Zhou Min not hear the meaning of accountability in Fan Mou's words, and he also felt guilty in his heart for losing more than 10,000 Yun Tianwei and trapping the prince in danger, but compared to these, Zhou Min wanted to find out what the prince had experienced.

Looking at Fan Mou, knowing that he couldn't ask anything from his mouth, remembering what the sergeant had reported before, Zhou Min changed his words: "Master Fan, our army is already weaker than the other party

Guan killed more than 30,000 people, but our army was still weak, and I heard that the prince had captured 8,000 Tang troops... The daily ration loss alone is not a small amount of military ration consumption..."

"Don't worry, in the past ten days that General Zhou has been in a coma, the prince has already beheaded these eight thousand Tang army soldiers to lay the martyrs in the valley..." Fan Mou's narrow eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness, and he glanced at it slightly, and said lightly.

Zhou Min was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "What? I've been in a coma for ten days... Although our army is retreating south to the Tang Dynasty, the army is facing the enemy, needless to say, but since it is captured alive, it must not be slaughtered, otherwise in the next burst, the Tang army will fight to the death, and then our army will face outlaws... Master Fan, you know these better than Zhou, why don't you dissuade Your Highness!"

For some reason, when Zhou Min looked at Fan Mou again, he saw that this strategist who had been under the command of King Yun and had been making suggestions for many years had a strange look on his face, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if he had only re-recognized Fan Mou today.

Just as Zhou Min was talking to Fan Mou, he heard a sergeant singing a report from outside the hospital.

"His Royal Highness the Prince broke the Tang army again on the bank of the Win River, and tens of thousands of Tang troops could not resist, and then broke more than 10,000 men and horses, fled in a hurry, and fled south of the Yangtze River!"

The scout shouted a military report, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and in a short time, it had resounded throughout Luzhou City, and the worried Zhou Min was also slightly dissipated by this shocking good news, and looked up to the sky and murmured: "God bless Qiyun, God bless the people, His Royal Highness, the prince of the world, the merit covers all generations."

The footsteps of the sergeant came, and a scout entered the small courtyard, knelt down at Fan Moujun, and said, "Master Fan, the prince has issued an order, ordering you to open the gate of Luzhou City and welcome the triumph of the army!"

Fan Mou glanced at Zhou Min, the color of vigilance flashed away, and then he said softly, "I know, you return to the world... General Zhou has woken up from his coma, and there is no major problem for the time being!"

The scout had already looked at the pale Zhou Min, and said with a smile: "I have an order, the last general will go and tell the prince that in the days of fierce battles with the Tang army, the prince has always been concerned about General Zhou's injury, but this time it is a double happiness, not only has he retreated from the Southern Tang army, but General Zhou is also fine."

After the military salute, the scout went to the army outside the city to report the good news with joy, but Fan Mou's eyes revealed a complicated color, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth to Zhou Min.

"Old Zhou, you and I have known each other for many years, and today... You will tell the public that your injuries are not healed, and you should not go out of the city to greet His Royal Highness."

Zhou Min was puzzled: "What is the reason, the prince of the world has won a big victory, and with his own strength, he will turn the tide of the battle, it is reasonable, don't say that Zhou has been able to get out of bed and walk around, that is, he has broken his hands and feet at this moment, and he ordered someone to carry him, and he will also be carried to see the prince!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhou Min, Fan Mou immediately turned around and sighed, "In this case, General Zhou will follow me out of the city."
