Song Yan was too lazy to look at Song Yao again, and looked up at Emperor Xiyue, "Father, the morale of the army is now weak, and it is the best time to stand up. I beg Father to make an order as soon as possible."
"Brother Emperor..." Song Yao panicked, and hurriedly looked at Emperor Xiyue, before he could plead for mercy, Emperor Xiyue nodded, "Yes!"
Song Yao was so angry that he lost consciousness completely. Song Yan waved his hand and asked the guards to carry Song Yao down.
Before leaving, Emperor Xiyue said, "Jian'er, be careful in everything."
Song Yan nodded, "Father, don't worry, my son will have his own measure."
Soon, Song Yun turned around and left the hall. Emperor Xiyue stared at Song Yun's back in a daze, then smiled, "God's will, it really is God's will, the sky will not kill me, Xiyue."
Empress Zhao couldn't help crying, "The concubine owes too much to Yu'er, and now I can't bear to put such an important burden on his shoulders alone."
Emperor Xiyue put his arms around Queen Zhao, "I believe in Yan'er!"
After Song Yan left the city, he immediately summoned several court ministers under Song Yao's control, among them was Mu Chen, the son of King Jinjun.
"You're fine, that's great." Mu Chen habitually stepped forward to hug Song Yun, Song Yun flashed past, and took a few steps back, leaving Mu Chen in vain.
Mu Chen rubbed his nose, "You boy, I was so worried about you at home, I sneaked out of the house three times, and was caught by my grandfather every time, look at the injuries all over my body."
As Mu Chen spoke, he exposed his arms. There were indeed many bruises on his arms, which looked a little scary.
The old king of Jinjun had always been reluctant to beat up his grandson, Mu Chen, and he loved the son of the king of Jinjun as an eyeball, because the king of Jinjun died in the battle, and Princess Jinjun was pregnant with Mu Chen in her stomach, and she was sad every day. So there was a lot of bleeding during childbirth, and only the prince of Jinjun was left behind.
Mu Chen wanted to show his heart and go to battle to kill the enemy several times, but the old king of Jin County would not agree, and tried his best to stop him. Mu Chen was also stubborn and naughty. It has long been common for Chen to be beaten.
Song Yan chuckled, "Whoever told you that you don't have a long memory, the old county king is also doing it for your own good. You are the only grandson of the Mu family for several generations, so you can be content."
Mu Chen jumped three feet high, curled his lips, "A man has ambitions everywhere, if he doesn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at this time, he will be laughed at!"
Song Yun raised his eyebrows, not knowing what Mu Chen meant, he wanted Song Yun to open his mouth and take him into battle to kill the enemy.
Mu Chen has long been itchy. He has the martial arts of a three-legged cat and has nowhere to use it. At the beginning, the old county king refused to allow him to learn martial arts.
If you learn martial arts, it will be more difficult to control, but you can't stand Mu Chen's begging, so the old prince made up his mind and asked those masters who taught martial arts to beat Mu Chen severely. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he didn't dare to learn martial arts anymore. Although the old county king felt sorry for him, the effect was good anyway.
Mu Chen can be regarded as a little bully in Shengjing, he always walked sideways, no one dared to provoke Mu Chen, if Mu Chen was hurt, the old county king would come to the door with a knife and find someone to fight for his life.
In the words of the old county king, he was the only one who could beat his grandson, and no one else was allowed to touch his grandson with a single finger. That's why Mu Chen developed a character of fearlessness.
Mu Chen was about the same age as Song Yan, and he often envied Song Yan to be able to fight on the field, and begged the old county king many times, and the old county king pointed at him casually, and found a few hidden guards to accompany Mu Chen to make a gesture.
"If you win the battle, grandpa asked the emperor to make you a general."
For three days in a row, Mu Chen didn't remember how many beatings he received, let alone going out the door, he even struggled to get out of bed and walk around.
This time I finally met Song Yan, and Mu Chen made up his mind to rely on Song Yan. Song Yan had a very good impression in the eyes of the old county king. Whenever Mu Chen failed, the old county king would use the prince to educate Mu Chen.
At the beginning, Mu Chen was still shy, but now he is invulnerable, nodding in agreement without blushing and not feeling ashamed at all.
Song Yan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Song Lian who was coming, and then glanced at Mu Chen, smiling deeply, "If you delay Song Lian in Shengjing for three days, I will personally go to the old county king to make a deal. You go to the battlefield."
Mu Chen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Really?"
Song Yan nodded, Mu Chen rolled his eyes and jumped over happily.
Song Lian came to inquire about news, Song Yan knew it well, turned around and left after glancing at this side.
"Your Highness, General Liu of Jiecheng sent someone to report that Dongchu gathered a large number of people and gathered in Anzha, a hundred miles away from Jiecheng. Yuancheng has been occupied. The people in the city are like slaves, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes. In a few days, many people have died."
Song Yan raised his eyebrows and sneered when he heard the words, "Send someone to inform Father about this matter."
After the words fell, Song Yan went directly to the county king's mansion and found the old county king.
"The old minister pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The old king's voice was loud, his body was strong, and he looked very energetic.
"Don't dare to be, the old prince doesn't need to be polite, I'm here today to ask for something." Song Yan directly explained his purpose, and gave the old county king 50,000 soldiers and horses to strictly guard Shengjing City.
The old king was taken aback, and then murmured, "Since the crown prince trusts the old minister, the old minister must live up to everyone's expectations."
Before, the old king of the county was not in the top position, and he really didn't like the way the Xiyue Emperor educated the prince. It is not a good thing for a prince to be too gentle.
Moreover, the old king had long reminded Emperor Xiyue to be careful about Song Yao, but unfortunately, Emperor Xiyue cared about his brotherhood and instead promoted Song Yao to be regent. Something out of the window.
But when the Jiecheng incident happened, it immediately changed the old county king's mind. The prince's move to lure the enemy deep is really beautiful!
Therefore, the old county king agreed without saying a word.
Song Yan explained the arrangements for Shengjing, and rushed to Jiecheng overnight. Before leaving, he saw Mu Chen lying under Song Lian's horse and humming, pretending to be covered in blood, blinking at Song Yan, and then painfully call out.
Song Lian was so angry that he wished he could really kick him. Seeing this, Song Yan got on his horse and left.
It was already the next morning when we arrived in Jiecheng. Song Yan glanced at the sky, then at General Liu, "Don't act rashly, wait for a few days, if Dong Chu disturbs you, try to delay."
"Yes!" Although General Liu was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions. He always felt that the prince must have his reasons.
After giving the order, Song Yan went to visit Song Zhan, and Song Yan glanced at Ye Xiuzhi, "What's the matter?"
Ye Xiuzhi spent days and nights researching and developing the antidote, temporarily sealing Song Zhan's blood and placing him in the cold.
"Your Highness, this poison is really complicated. If there is no antidote within half a month..." Ye Xiu's face was solemn, and he tried many methods. If it takes a lot of time to detoxify, Song Zhan may not be able to wait.
After waiting for a few more days, the guard suddenly said, "Your Highness, something is wrong. The Right Prime Minister of Eastern Chu personally went into battle with a full 200,000 troops."
"Too bad!" General Liu frowned, "Now our soldiers and horses are scattered too widely, like a mess of scattered sand. If Dongchu and Dongming unite, we must not be opponents."
Song Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and provoked a wicked smile, "Call the troops immediately!"
"His Royal Highness?"
"According to Gu's order!" Song Yan glanced at the tall phalanx, "Tomorrow morning, concentrate our forces to fight."
Seeing Song Yan's insistence, General Liu had no choice but to follow Song Yan's order to prepare, as if he was going to fight to the death.
"In addition, each soldier will be given ten taels of silver, and people will be sent to the back of the mountain to collect food and grass tonight. Only when they are full will they have the strength to fight!"
General Liu was overjoyed that the lack of food in Jiecheng was no longer a day or two, and he did not expect His Royal Highness to solve it.
"Yes, this subordinate will do it now!"
In the early morning of the next day, Song Yun led his troops to wave the city, and Song Rui stood on the high wall and sneered, "I have been waiting for the prince for a long time, and the prince really did not disappoint. Since the prince is here, this king will definitely not let the prince come for nothing." Come on, the prince's feat yesterday is really admirable, but the prince is too cruel and merciless."
As soon as the words fell, the entire city wall was filled with flames, illuminating the morning as if it were daytime.
"Oops, Your Highness, we were fooled." General Liu yelled that something was wrong.
Song Rui spent enough money to surround Song Yan with all the soldiers and horses in his hands. At a glance, they were all densely packed with people, and the scene was very spectacular.
The next moment, the overwhelming sound of weapons fell to the ground, "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"
Song Rui's face changed slightly, seeing half of the people kneeling down and shouting in unison.
"What's going on here?"
"Your Highness, this is Dongming's borrowed soldier. How could he join Xiyue without any reason?"
The lieutenant beside Song Rui also panicked, not understanding what happened.
The next moment, a guard said, "Your Highness is not well, the right minister raised his troops in the border town to attack Dongchu, report from the front, and already occupied a Chicheng."
"What!" Song Rui's complexion changed drastically, with anger accumulated in his heart, he lowered his head to look at Song Yan with a relaxed face, "It's you!"
Song Yan smiled lightly, and looked at Song Rui contemptuously, "Surround Yuancheng alone, and don't let anyone go!"
Song Yun's strategy is to procrastinate, so that Song Rui can't get away from him, and can't quench his near thirst, so that Dong Chu can't take care of himself!
Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, the soldiers of Eastern Chu lost their sense of proportion, while Xiyue rushed to fight, instead of taking the initiative to fight, he just delayed the time.
Song Rui didn't know Song Yan's plan, and secretly scolded Dong Ming for being despicable and shameless, and even scolded Dong Ming dozens of times, but he didn't expect Dong Ming to turn against him.
What Song Rui was more worried about was that the old fox, Prime Minister Right, actually led the attack on Eastern Chu himself. Song Rui had contacted Prime Minister Right several times, and Prime Minister Right was insidious and cunning, and then joined forces with Xiyue. Song Rui couldn't imagine the consequences.
General Liu was at a loss. He didn't understand how Song Yan could be so confident. If there was a slight deviation, it would be a disaster.
Song Yan looked relaxed, "Send people to sneak into the city, incite the people, and let the people gather to the north gate."
"This subordinate understands." General Liu said in a low voice.
Song Rui couldn't figure out why Song Yan was poisoned but nothing happened. Could it be that the poison was fake!
Being forced to ride a tiger, Song Rui still didn't dare to confront the tough, with four enemies to one, it was not worthwhile.
For several days in a row, Prime Minister Right was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and stormed several border cities in a row. Every time Song Rui heard it, he was so angry that he cursed and couldn't help opening the city gates anymore, he had to fight a tight encirclement.
Song Yun still had a relaxed expression, Song Rui was so angry that he jumped up and down, pointing at Song Yun's nose and yelling at the shameless villain, Song Yun was not in a hurry or annoyed, and let Song Rui scold him.
When Song Rui had had enough of scolding, Song Yan gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were immediately ready to go, which was actually magnificent.
"Your Highness, the people in the city rushed through the north gate and ran away, and my subordinates couldn't stop them."
Song Rui was annoyed, and directly beheaded the guard who had reported, "Kill!"
The two soldiers fought, and Song Rui retreated steadily. Song Yan had no intention of killing him, and took back the two cities within two days.
Until the tenth day, Song Yan became ruthless, even red-eyed, not as gentle as before. Song Rui was forced to trap a city, in a dilemma.
Song Yan said, "How about Gu giving you a chance to escape?"
Song Rui didn't believe it, but right now he had no choice, so he said, "What chance?"
Song Yan chuckled, "Song Yao said that you gave the poison last time, so hand over the antidote and let you go if you are isolated."
Song Rui looked at Song Yan suspiciously, and didn't believe what Song Yan said was true or false. He even suspected that since Song Yan had already cured the poison, why did he need the antidote
Song Yan looked calm and let Song Rui inquire, "Now you have no right to choose, you can either hand over the antidote, don't blame Gu for not reminding you, if you think about it for a day, maybe Dongchu will lose a city, Gu is waiting for you Think about it carefully."
Song Yan's words hit the nail on the head of Song Rui's situation. He had no choice, so he could only hand over the antidote.
"Your Highness, keep your word, don't break your promise!"
Song Yan got the antidote, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "It's natural, if the antidote is real, Gu will definitely let you go."
Song Yan gave the antidote to the guards, and asked the guards to rush back to Jiecheng.
