Chapter 611: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 58
Ji Yunhuan put away his sword and said calmly, "You all have seen that General Su is indeed not talented in leading troops in battle. She was greedy for merit and reckless, which led to the defeat of Yunmeng River and the capture of Prince Rui. General Su cannot escape the blame, but she is the Princess of Rui after all, and we can't deal with her. We can only return to the capital and talk about it later."
"General Su fell into the hands of the enemy and suffered a lot of torture. He may have gone insane and is talking nonsense. Everyone has seen how hard General Yi has worked these days. We have made so many arrangements just to rescue His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
"General Yi and His Royal Highness Prince Rui have a deep brotherly love. I have been unable to sleep these days and I only regret that I cannot take the punishment for my brother. Now the time is ripe. We will send troops to Yueze City today to rescue His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
Yuwen Yi was impressed by Ji Yunhuan's ability to lie with open eyes.
Although Prince Rui had been trying to kill him and he disliked Prince Rui, in Ji Yunhuan's mouth he became a model of brotherly love and respect, and he almost believed what was written in the memorial.
Regardless of whether the emperor believed it or not, at least on the surface there was nothing wrong with it. He was forced to take on this important task in order to save Prince Rui.
Yuwen Yi coughed dryly and agreed, "General Ji is right, that's exactly it."
At noon, the gates of Jiayuguan were opened wide, and Yuwen Yi led a large number of troops to rush towards Yueze City.
Yamud left a group of military slaves as cannon fodder and escaped himself.
General Geng found His Royal Highness Prince Rui in a stinking ditch. Prince Rui fell into the ditch while fleeing in a panic and broke his leg. He then soaked in the ditch for a night with a high fever and was unconscious. He was immediately sent to Jiayuguan for treatment.
In order to stop Prince Rui from causing trouble, Ji Yunhuan specifically hinted to the doctors at Baicaotang not to let Prince Rui wake up easily.
Dozens of doctors came to Baicaotang and accompanied the army to serve as military doctors. They were free and undisciplined and did not like being restricted, but this time they were willing to stay, bring their own herbal medicine, and look after the wounded in the army.
There is a sense of chivalry in the hearts of people in the martial arts world. Since the death of Master Hua, Jianxiao Villa has been silent for a long time. This time they have returned to the martial arts world to recover the lost territory. Tianji Pavilion, King Kong Sect and others have responded, so naturally, Baicaotang cannot be left behind.
The grand battle of Yueze has officially begun!
The eighteen cities in the north had a total of more than 200,000 troops, who cooperated with each other to surround the Yueze area and even penetrated into the interior of the Wujin country.
They formed an airtight net, and even if there were occasional omissions, they were able to cooperate with each other and continue to advance in an orderly manner.
Half a month later, 80,000 Western Expedition troops came to reinforce. They were originally Yuwen Yi's old subordinates, and were more adept at commanding. The encirclement became smaller and smaller, and a large number of Wujin Kingdom's troops were consumed and scattered in various places, making them ineffective.
A huge turmoil broke out within the country of Wujin. The people and slaves who could not survive rose up in resistance. If the prince had not insisted on attacking the country of Chen, their lives would not have been so difficult.
Two months later, spring came and Yamud was trapped in a small town.
Surrounding him were the strongest warriors of the Wujin Kingdom, who had strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. However, at this time, the Kingdom was showing signs of decline. They did not dare to hope to break into the Central Plains, and only wanted to get rid of those troublesome Chen Kingdom soldiers as soon as possible and return to the Wujin Kingdom.
"Your Highness, we can't delay any longer. The capital is in chaos. Those filthy slaves and untouchables have broken into the royal tent. They killed your father and are trying to make your brother the new King of Wujin! If we can't go back and stabilize the situation as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Yamud put on his armor and held his sword, saying disdainfully: "Yaliji is a loser, cowardly and incompetent. He can't rule the Kingdom of Wujin! He is only fit to kneel at my feet, wag his tail and beg for mercy, and live a miserable life. I have never taken him seriously!"
"If we break out tonight and fight our way back to the capital, I will chop off their heads one by one and hang them on the flagpole to commemorate my father's spirit in heaven!"
That night, the army of Chen State surrounded the small town where Yamud was. Yamud tried his best to break out and finally found a loophole. When he thought he had escaped, he ran into a group of soldiers from Chen State.
Yuwen Yi has been waiting here for a long time.
"Yamud, surrender. You provoked the war between the two countries and caused great suffering to the people. The situation has been decided. Don't struggle in vain. Surrender and you will not be killed."
There was only a small group of people left by Yamud's side. Most of the soldiers were fighting fiercely to stop the Chen army, but he escaped quietly.
As long as he returns to the capital, he will be able to inherit the throne. His useless brother will never be able to defeat him. Once he becomes King Wujin and kills all those who oppose him in the country, he can regroup and continue to achieve his hegemony.
He has not reached the end of the road yet. As long as he can invade the Central Plains, huge amounts of wealth will be at his fingertips and all problems can be easily solved.
Ji Yunhuan rode over, staring at the disheveled Yamud with disgust on her face, "There's no point in keeping this kind of person around. There are other people who can take over the throne anyway. It's better to kill them all."
Yuwen Yi also thought it made sense. He was just following the usual practice of trying to persuade the enemy generals to surrender. It would be fine if he just killed them directly.
"Shoot! Kill the Crown Prince of Wujin Kingdom!"
"Wait!" Yamud was also panicking at this time, "I surrender! Don't you claim to be a great country, a country of etiquette, a country that practices benevolent governance and educates the people? I have already surrendered, you can't kill me!"
Ji Yunhuan sneered, "When your highness the crown prince launched an attack on the Kingdom of Chen, why didn't you think about governing the country with kindness? So what if you surrender? Haven't you killed enough prisoners? If you die, your brother will succeed you. You, the crown prince, are worthless."
Yuwen Yi nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense. It would be easier to kill him."
Swish, swish, swish! Thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the people around Yamud fell down one after another. Even if they had taken magic pills, they could not withstand the huge power of the crossbows. Their bodies were torn apart and they soon fell to the ground.
"Ji Yunhuan! Have you never doubted your father's death? Don't you want to avenge your father?" Yamud spoke quickly, fearing that if he was a little slower he would be pierced by thousands of arrows.
"Your parents and brother all died on the battlefield, but they were killed by others! Do you think that invading Wujin Country is revenge for your father and brother? You don't even know who the real enemy is, and you are foolishly used by others. How pathetic!"
A sharp arrow pierced through Yamud's arm, the arrowhead exploded, and his right arm was directly disabled, with blood and flesh all over it. Yamud let out a roar.
"Hurry up and tell them to stop. I can tell you the whole truth. I swear in the name of the Wolf God that I can avenge you!"
Ji Yunhuan's hands holding the reins suddenly tightened. She knew that this was Yamud's way of saving his life, but she still wanted to know the truth.
She already had a few suspects, but without evidence, she couldn't make a conclusion, let alone avenge her father.
"Stop!" Yuwen Yi gave an order and the archers stopped. All the Wujin people had died, leaving only Yamud alive.
"Bring Yamud here, General Ji and I will interrogate him personally."
