Chapter 57: Coercion
The sky had already begun to light up, and the cook took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and put on his own soft back, intending to sneak out of the barracks, and sure enough, as he expected, it was the most lax time in the barracks, and the soldiers on patrol did not notice his abnormality at all, and the cook escaped from a corner of the barracks very easily.
"Yesterday I don't know who ruined my plan. The cook stopped suddenly, and a woman's voice came from the woods in front of him, and he was startled, women have never been allowed to go out of the barracks, and this time the arrival of the princess was an exception to the acquiescence of the king of Quang Binh, and this woman was ......
He was not in the mood to continue to hurry, so he hurriedly hid aside and eavesdropped, only to hear the voices of the two getting smaller and smaller, he only vaguely heard the three words of the five princes, and suddenly the cook became excited, it turned out that there were still five princes in this army.
"The last time he told me there were still our people in the army, but now I haven't found him and don't know how to contact him. Shi Lingyan said with some regret, "In this way, even if I want to protect him, I'm afraid I will be powerless......"
Hearing this, the cook no longer hesitated, and hurriedly walked to Shi Lingyan and knelt down: "Princess, I am, I am the person of the fifth prince." He was a little impatient, and told all the things of yesterday, "This matter is really not my fault, and I hope that the princess can say a few kind words for me in front of the five princes, you can rest assured that I will not reveal your identity." ”
"Is what you said true?" a cold voice came, and the cook nodded hurriedly, but the next moment he was stunned, only to see the person who had been facing away from him turn around and take off his hat, "General......"
Mu Hua's face was like frost, "Sure enough, it's Mu Hua." As early as when the cook moved, they had already noticed it, and just now the two of them just wanted to try him, but they didn't expect to be guessed correctly by the two of them.
Mu Hua waved his hand, and suddenly a team of soldiers came over, carried the cook into the barracks and tied him to the pillar of the Dianjiang platform, and did not kill him.
Before I knew it, it was noon, and at this time, the scorching sun was shining on the Dianjiangtai without reservation, and the cook was already sweating from the heat, and he was about to pass out, Shi Lingyan looked at the cook under the stage, and sneered: "It's up to you, and you still want to destroy the old lady's plan." After speaking, he instructed the soldiers beside him: "Pour a bucket of water on him, don't let him die of dehydration." ”
Presumably, the emperor couldn't have imagined that it was actually the five princes who seemed to be the most loyal around him who really cooperated with the people of Tianshu and wanted to destroy the war, "In that case, there is no need for me to be polite." Mu Hua said to himself coldly, he wanted to let Mu Chun know that he didn't have the ability to compete with him now.
"Presumably, the emperor's refusal to send grain, grass and reinforcements is also related to Mu Chun, so it is better for us to hand over this person to the emperor and let him see Mu Chun's true face. Shi Lingyan said to Mu Hua, Mu Hua was silent, he didn't think of this way, but if this matter really caused trouble to the emperor, he was afraid that it would be even more unfavorable to him.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Hua decided that since this was a matter between him and Mu Chun, then he would settle accounts with Mu Chun first, "Someone will bring the cook in." ”
In a moment, the cook, who was already half-dead, was brought to Mu Hua, he was so frightened that he trembled, and he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy at this time.
This is an excellent witness, of course Mu Hua will not let him die so easily, he sneered slightly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I just want to borrow something from you." ”
In Kyoto late at night, Mu Chun had just returned home and received a burden, "This is a stranger sent to the house." The guard hurriedly said and whispered, "I heard that it is related to the king of Guangping." ”
Mu Chun was startled, hurriedly returned to the room, opened the baggage, and saw that something had fallen from the baggage, Mu Chun looked at it, and instantly fell into an ice cave, "Who sent this!" he exclaimed.
The guard hurried to the room, but he was also startled by the things on the ground, a bloody human hand was falling in the center of the room, "This ......" The guard was speechless for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, pointing to the baggage, "Prince, there is a letter in there." ”
The moment he opened the envelope, Mu Chun's face sank instantly, just looking at the words, he already knew that this was Mu Hua's handwritten letter, he read the letter in a hurry, and the whole person sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the fine work he sent not only messed up the errand, but was also discovered by Mu Hua, and now Mu Hua used the fine work to blackmail him and let him persuade the emperor to send reinforcements.
This time he still miscalculated, and it took a while for Mu Chun to come back to his senses, he understood Mu Hua's personality, Mu Hua has always said and done, once this matter reaches the emperor, I am afraid that even he will suffer, the matter has come to this point, and he can only beg the emperor to send reinforcements to Mu Hua according to Mu Hua's requirements.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, a letter came from the palace, and the emperor promised to send additional reinforcements, "This trick really worked." Shi Lingyan said with a smile, but this was also the first time she had really seen Mu Hua's bloodthirsty nature.
"Now that the emperor has promised to send troops, we don't have to be so cowering. Mu Hua was thoughtful, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and a trace of cold air instantly appeared, "It's time to fight back." ”
The Tianshu people, who had already been hit twice by Mu Hua, were already planning their next attack.
The Great Commander closed his eyes, ignoring the chatter of the people below, he knew that these days, all the Tianshu soldiers had either begun to fear the Yaoguang Army, or felt angry, but the more this happened, the more anxious they became.
"Stop fighting. The commander opened his eyes, and his voice was as low as a drum, "Even if we lose twice in a row, our military horses are far more than the Yaoguang army, don't believe anyone's situation this time, we will directly lead the military horses to rush over, I don't believe that we can't still step on Muhua's army." ”
The reinforcements promised by the emperor will arrive at the border in three days, looking at the battle book from the Tianshu Kingdom, Mu Hua already has a number in his heart, he only needs to delay the time and wait for the arrival of the reinforcements, and then he can take the Tianshu Kingdom by surprise.
Although it was Shi Lingyan who helped him win the battle these two times, Mu Hua knew very well the temper of the Tianshu people, and this time they would definitely not give up again, "I want to ......" Mu Hua stopped talking to Shi Lingyan, "You follow the reserve army and wait for reinforcements, I'm too dangerous here." ”
Shi Lingyan glanced at Mu Hua with disdain: "You just underestimate me like this, don't worry, these people can't help me." Without thinking, she rejected Mu Hua's suggestion.
Mu Hua didn't force it, last time it was because of a thought that the two of them had to meet for so long, this time he let Shi Lingyan in front of his eyes, he was indeed much more relieved, at least he could guarantee that he would protect her well.
Early the next morning, the Yaoguang military camp blew the horn early, all the sergeants were ready to go, and every half an hour there were spies to report to Mu Hua, the current marching position of the Tianshu army.
At this time, Shi Lingyan really felt the sense of oppression before the war.
