Chapter 198: You Came on Time

There is no way for the soldiers not to care about the life and death of the three princes.

As the commander of the army, if the three princes die, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be held accountable by the emperor.

No one was willing to give the three princes a funeral, so they had to ask Chen Changfeng for help.

Chen Changfeng looked at the border army generals in front of him, a smile flashed in his eyes, he was waiting for these generals to beg him.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to save the third brother, it's really that this Yongding City is very important, the walls of Yongding City are strong, and it is the throat of the thirteen cities of Nanjun."

"Yongding City is handed over, if the Great Chu Zhengnan Army invades on a large scale, we can only rely on Dingnan City to resist, and we won't be able to hold out for long."

"And the attack on this Yongding City also lost the lives of many soldiers." Chen Changfeng said slowly.

Many generals looked embarrassed, and they all knew that Chen Changfeng was afraid that he would refuse the request to rescue the three princes.

"But I also know that if something happens to the third brother, you will not be able to escape punishment, so for you to be fine, I plan to send someone to Li Fengxian tomorrow to send news of the peace talks."

"We also have a lot of their captives in our hands, Li Fengxian should be relieved."

"But I don't dare to guarantee that Li Fengxian will definitely agree to let the third brother come back."

"That's all I can do for you." Chen Changfeng continued, his tone a little low.

The generals who were already ready to accept the disappointment heard Chen Changfeng say that he was willing to negotiate peace with Li Fengxian, and when they heard Chen Changfeng's words at this moment, a glimmer of hope surged in their hearts.

What's more, Chen Changfeng even said that it was for them that he planned to negotiate peace with Li Fengxian.

Everyone's eyes were moved.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is righteous, and the last general will thank His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." The generals spoke one after another, their faces showing gratitude.

The generals left one after another, and Chen Qingzhi looked at Chen Changfeng, a little puzzled: "The prince really plans to change the third prince back?" ”

Chen Qingzhi didn't quite understand, if Chen Changfeng really changed the third prince back, wouldn't that be making trouble for himself?

Judging from Chen Changfeng's layout in the past few days, Chen Qingzhi also vaguely saw that Chen Changfeng wanted to completely control the Ming border army.

The third prince did not come back, and Chen Changfeng was the absolute authority in the Ming border army.

If the third prince returns, the commander of the border army appointed by the emperor will not let Chen Changfeng command the army.

If that time really comes, won't all Chen Changfeng's efforts be in vain?

"Peace talks are peace talks, I didn't say that I would definitely save the third prince."

"And do you think they are really worried about the life and death of the third prince?" Chen Changfeng smiled faintly.

Chen Qingzhi's face was slightly stunned.

Then he thought about what Chen Changfeng had just said to the generals.

Chen Changfeng really didn't say that he would definitely change back to the third prince, besides, the performance of those generals just now was all worried about their own situation.

As long as the emperor will not pursue their responsibilities, who cares about the life and death of the three princes?

……

Li Fengxian was a little unsure of Chen Changfeng's intentions.

First of all, he didn't care about the life and death of the three princes of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, and he didn't care if he cut off the ears of the three princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Now he suddenly sent a letter to let him meet and negotiate outside Yongding City tomorrow.

Li Fengxian was not worried that this was Chen Changfeng's trap, as long as Chen Changfeng dared to do it to himself, he would kill the three princes of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming prisoners as soon as possible.

"Lord God General, didn't Chen Changfeng say anything about Xu Gongmao?" The candidate asked in a whisper.

Xu Gongmao's life and death are unknown now, if he dies, this is even more serious than losing Yongding City.

Li Fengxian's face was gloomy, and Chen Changfeng didn't say anything about Xu Gongmao's situation, so he didn't know if Xu Gongmao was dead.

But even if Xu Gongmao died, it was better than falling into the hands of Chen Changfeng.

"Xu Gongmao shouldn't be dead yet, tomorrow when we meet, the god will ask Chen Changfeng to let him come back......"

"Lord God, my subordinates feel that Chen Changfeng probably won't agree to return Yongding City, and he probably wants us to kill the three princes of the Ming Dynasty." The candidate was another sentence, and Li Fengxian felt a sigh in his heart.

There is no problem with what the candidate said, with Chen Changfeng's previous attitude towards the three princes of the Ming Dynasty, he definitely didn't want this person to go back alive.

If he killed the three princes of the Ming Dynasty, he would have helped Chen Changfeng.

"Candidate, you immediately send someone to find a way to spread the news of the capture of the three princes of the Ming Dynasty for our army to Dingnan City, so that Liu Shuwen knows."

"By the way, send the news to the capital and let His Majesty the Emperor make a decision." Li Fengxian immediately ordered.

He can't let the good card of the three princes of the Ming Dynasty be wasted in his own hands.

Chen Changfeng didn't save the three princes of the Ming Dynasty, but someone would come to the rescue.

As long as someone is unwilling to die of the three princes of the Ming Dynasty, he, Li Fengxian, will have the opportunity to return to Yongding City and Xu Gongmao.

"Subordinates obey." The candidate nodded, when even in a hurry to leave.

……

Liu Shuwen fell ill after returning from Chen Changfeng.

The three princes led the army to pursue Li Fengxian, and Liu Shuwen had already guessed in his heart that the result was not good.

Early this morning, he was recuperating in bed when he suddenly heard the soldiers outside the door talking about it, saying that Chen Changfeng was going to meet with Li Fengxian to negotiate today.

And the day before yesterday, Li Fengxian cut off the ears of the third prince in front of Chen Changfeng, and Chen Changfeng was indifferent.

These words made Liu Shuwen's heart jump for a while.

Chen Changfeng had already killed the four princes of the Ming Empire in front of the black armor guards before, and the emperor did not immediately investigate it because Chen Changfeng was now confronting the Great Chu Empire at the border.

The death of a not-so-important fourth prince, the emperor may be able to endure it.

If another third prince of the Ming Dynasty dies, the emperor will definitely clean up Chen Changfeng immediately.

There is no doubt about it.

Liu Shuwen knows Chen Changfeng's ability, but such a skill should not be used against his own people.

Besides, if the third prince is really dead, and the emperor sends someone to clean up Chen Changfeng, what is Chen Changfeng going to do?

Willing to be disposed of by the emperor and beheaded? Exile?

This would be a painful loss for the Ming Empire.

Or did Chen Changfeng fight back and betray the Ming Empire?

This kind of thing, Liu Shuwen definitely doesn't want to see.

He's going to stop this from happening.

Liu Shuwen came out of the room, his steps were a little staggering, and the soldiers around him wanted to persuade him to go back to rest, but he was also reprimanded by Liu Shuwen sharply.

couldn't ride a horse, so Liu Shuwen hired an ox cart and urged him to hurry up in the direction of Yongding City.

……

At high speed, the sun is shining.

Outside Yongding City, Li Fengxian led the army to appear here.

Behind him were a group of captured soldiers of the Ming border army, as well as the three princes of the Ming Dynasty with white cloths wrapped around their ears.

The three princes looked at the Yongding City Tower in front of them with resentful eyes.

If it weren't for Chen Changfeng not saving him, why would he have fallen to such a point and was cut off one of his ears by Li Fengxian.

The third prince swore that as long as he could return to the border army of the Ming Dynasty to regain military power, he would definitely kill Chen Changfeng first regardless of everything.

What emperor punishes, what brothers and sisters, his three princes don't want to care about anything now.

He's going to kill Chen Changfeng!

Desperate to kill Chen Changfeng!

"Chen Changfeng, get out of the city quickly!" Li Feng rode on horseback first and shouted angrily.

The gate of Yongding City slowly opened, and Chen Changfeng and Chen Qingzhi rode out of the city gate slowly.

Behind him were a group of captives of the Great Chu Expeditionary Southern Army, as well as more than a dozen Ming generals.

Li Fengxian didn't see Xu Gongmao's figure, and he couldn't help but guess Xu Gongmao's life and death.

"You came quite on time." Chen Changfeng smiled slightly.

Chen Qingzhi waved his hand, and a group of soldiers ran out behind him, and they actually set up a banquet in front of the two armies.

"Li Fengxian, let's sit down and say, how about it?" Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
