Chapter 34: Peasant Girl vs. Princess of the Former Dynasty (9)
Things change.
The Great Yuan Emperor, who had usurped the throne, was also facing the risk of being usurped. An unknown team first captured a sentry post, then a county, and then a prefecture. By the time the local officials reacted and reported to the Great Yuan Emperor, they had already left the prefecture and began to occupy other areas. At the same time, this team also became famous.
The Great Yuan Emperor was furious in the court and directly killed the local officials. He sent Chen Mu to wipe out this group of traitors overnight. Unfortunately, Chen Mu, who was always known as a victorious general, was defeated by the leader of this team.
At this time, it was revealed that Chen Mu had an affair with the princess of the previous dynasty and attempted to replace the Great Yuan Emperor. It is better to believe it than not. The Great Yuan Emperor directly imprisoned him. As for all the people in his house, they were exiled to southern Xinjiang. However,
the princess of the previous dynasty used some unknown means to still be favored by the Great Yuan Emperor and dominate the harem.
Perhaps because he was overconfident, the Great Yuan Emperor still did not take this team seriously. He sent Si Di to lead his Si Family Army to guard Changshan Pass without any other preparations.
Changshan Pass, the Yuan Dynasty camp.
"General Si, Wang Xiu's army is approaching Changshan Pass with great momentum. Our army is really unable to resist." The deputy general got off his horse and ran all the way into the camp. He knelt on his knees with his left hand against his fist and reported the military situation to Si Di.
Looking closely, his black battle clothes were all wet, and the edge of where he stood was a trace of blood dripping and smudged.
The warhorse outside the camp was exhausted and lay on the ground and twitched constantly.
"Our army is doomed." Si Di, who was already fifty years old, sighed and touched his white hair.
He had been a soldier for half his life, but he actually lost to a young boy. He couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.
It's really the young who are to be feared.
"General..." The other soldiers knelt one after another.
"Generals, don't worry. Wang Xiu has always been an open-minded person and will not kill those who surrender." Si Yu reached out and helped the soldiers up one by one, his eyes full of sorrow.
These soldiers have accompanied him from the previous dynasty to fight all the way to today. He defected from the previous dynasty to the Great Yuan Emperor in order to let his brothers live a good life. But over the years, life has not been that good, and he has to defect again.
Operas all say that loyal ministers do not serve two masters. He obviously just wants his brothers to live a good life. Why is it so difficult?
"General Si, you don't have to worry too much. Wang Xiu..." Before the soldiers in the camp finished speaking, another deputy general rushed in and said, "Report.
" "What's the matter?"
"General, this is Wang Xiu's letter of persuasion to you."
The attendant next to him handed it over.
Si Yu opened the "letter of persuasion to surrender", his brows first frowned, then relaxed, and finally he looked up to the sky and roared.
"General?"
"General?"
The other soldiers were very worried.
"Nothing." Si Di wiped the tears from his eyes, "Finally someone understands my lifelong ambition, but he is an enemy of me."
"What did Wang Xiu write in it?" The other soldiers became curious.
Their general was called the "iron-faced general" and was always serious. This was the first time he was so emotional.
"Brothers, what do you think of the Great Yuan Emperor compared to the previous emperor?" Si Di's eyes were like torches.
Before making a real decision, he hoped to understand everyone's mind.
"No." Deputy General Ma, who had been with him the longest, said, "The Great Yuan Emperor is now fond of glory and pleasure, and is no different from the previous emperor."
Thinking back to that day, their Si Family Army surrendered to the Great Yuan Emperor for a better life and a better future. Who knew that all monarchs in the world had the same virtue.
After following the Great Yuan Emperor, the Si Family Army had been suppressed by the emperor's direct troops. They had been guarding the border for many years, and the army's supplies were not as good as when the previous emperor was there.
"I don't think there is much difference." The other soldiers echoed.
They all have wives and children. If they are willing to live, who would want to die?
"Well." Si Dui slapped the table heavily, "Let's change sides again. No matter what, we will surrender first to protect our Si Family Army."
Since the Great Yuan Emperor was not a wise choice, he would surrender to another famous leader.
Wang Xiu was the descendant of Wang Qi, the world's number one general. He was brave and good at fighting, with unparalleled wisdom and talent. He had a hunch that following Wang Xiu, he would definitely be able to do something new and rebuild the glory of his Si Family Army.
"We only follow the lead of General Si." The soldiers knelt down one after another. Among them, the soldiers who had been instigated to rebel secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At Changshan Pass, outside the pass, the soldiers were lined up in an orderly manner. The soldiers all raised their heads high, one hand holding the reins, and the other hand on the sword, waiting for orders at any time, waiting to march at any time.
In fact, they had been training for this day for a long time.
"General, are you confident that you can persuade Si Dian to surrender?" The young counselor sat on a tall warhorse and stood side by side with Wang Xiu.
The battle plan for the Changshan Pass was formulated overnight by several brothers and the general. In order to achieve the greatest victory with the least amount of troops, they simply exhausted all their efforts. It is precisely because they spent too much effort that they cannot accept a little failure.
"Don't worry." Wang Xiu is young, but his demeanor is very calm. "Si Dian is not ambitious, he just wants to preserve his own army."
He has personally written a "letter of persuasion to surrender", and Si Dian will definitely agree after reading it. After all, Si Dian is a smart man.
Hearing his firm words, the counselor no longer worried, but asked: "Then how do we enter Changshan Pass, what's next?"
He forgot that he was a counselor.
In fact, many times, he felt that he and other brothers did not need to exist. The person in front of him is simply a genius. He has learned the art of war without a teacher, and his strategy is not inferior to others. He is simply a heaven-defying existence. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that the person he was following was the true son of destiny.
"Go to Kyoto and head straight for the palace." Wang Xiu looked in the direction of Kyoto, as if there was a raging fire burning.
He had waited for so many years, just for this day. He was finally going to avenge his Shi Yi. He would not let go of the princess of the previous dynasty who was deeply favored by the Great Yuan Emperor in the harem. He would draw her blood, peel her skin, and use her body to commemorate his Shi Yi.
And he would not let go of Chen Mu, who killed all the villagers in his village. He would make Chen Mu kneel on the grave of his Wangjia Village and plead guilty one by one, until his blood soaked the soil and was felt by the villagers underground.
The counselor was frightened by his murderous eyes, and he involuntarily reined in his horse and took a step back. The horse raised its front hoof because of the pain and roared in the air.
