Chapter 635: Conquer Yuan Lang!
"Military Advisor, we can't retreat anymore." The subordinates were very resistant to the tactic of retreating without fighting, and this was not the first time they protested verbally.
Che Mingyuan asked Zhao Zheng: "How many cities have we lost?"
The latter: "Six seats."
Che Mingyuan: "Has Zhou Ruyuan been lured out?"
Zhao Zheng shook his head: "No, he is very alert."
Che Mingyuan said calmly: "That means he didn't get enough."
The soldiers below were dumbfounded. Were they going to retreat without fighting again?
"Pass the order and continue to retreat."
The soldiers under his command became anxious.
"Military Advisor, please retreat. When His Majesty wakes up, how are we going to explain this to Him?"
Che Mingyuan: "Don't worry, I will find a way to make sure you get what you want!"
"But... can we win?" Why retreat?
Wouldn't it be better to wipe them out in one fell swoop?
Che Mingyuan: "This is His Majesty's order."
The soldiers were immediately speechless.

Yuan Lang was somewhat disappointed that His Majesty did not lead the army in person, but he also felt that there was some truth to it.
After all, Zhou Ruyuan is still the one in charge on the surface, and they are doing it under the pretext of supporting the royal bloodline. If the royal bloodline is gone, they will become traitors and rebels.
"Your Majesty, I had an agreement with the Heir of Guigu before, and I wanted to compete with him."
Zhou Ruyuan looked at Yuan Lang steadily: "So?"
Yuan Lang: "I want to lead my troops to challenge them."
Even if he does not lead the army in person, his presence as the imperial advisor can still boost morale.
In addition, since the previous agreement with the successor of Guiguzi had not been fulfilled, it was not surprising for him to make this request now.
Zhou Ruyuan thought about it and nodded.
"Okay."
The next day, Yuan Lang appeared in front of the formation and challenged them.
"The descendant of Guiguzi comes out to fight!"
"I am Yuan Lang, the successor of Caolu, and I have come here today to accept the challenge!"
Guigu and Caolu will eventually have to decide who is better.
As soon as the call was made, everyone, friend or foe, began to look forward to it.
"The heir of Guiguzi and the heir of Caolu finally confronted each other."
"I've been waiting for this for two years."
"I thought I would never get to see a duel between the two in my lifetime, but I didn't expect that my dream would come true today."
"It is worth our lives to be able to witness the duel between the two great heirs."
"I have no regrets about being able to witness the duel between the two, even if I die in a moment."
Many people were excited with this idea in mind.
Many people from the Eastern Expedition Army also sighed, and Che Mingyuan got goosebumps when he heard them.
What no one expected was that Che Mingyuan immediately ordered a withdrawal again.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion among the Eastern Expedition Army again. Fortunately, Shen Lanxi's influence was still there, and even though there was discussion, they still carried out the orders.
On the other hand, Zhou Yanxing had an idea.
The defeat of the Eastern Expedition Army again increased Yuan Lang's prestige. After much consideration, Zhou Yanxing decided to win the hearts of the army and the people for his own use.
Before setting off, he only symbolically notified Zhou Ruyuan and then led his troops to the battle, under the euphemism of going to war on behalf of the emperor.
After Zhou Ruyuan received the news, he immediately guessed what the emperor's uncle was planning and became angry.
"Call the troops immediately. I will lead the army myself."
Shen Lanxi is most likely dead. The imperial court is now a piece of fat meat to be slaughtered at will. Zhou Yanxing's move is tantamount to exposing his fangs.
Now it depends on who can tear off the most fat.
The true face of this imperial uncle has finally been revealed.
The news that Zhou Ruyuan was leading the army in person spread quickly, and in order to get ahead of Zhou Yanxing, he hastily assembled his troops.
It took less than half a day from giving the order to setting out on the march.
After receiving the news, Che Mingyuan immediately released the carrier pigeon.
at night
Not long after Yuan Lang entered the tent, he felt the smell in the tent was a little strange and then he fainted.
When he woke up again, he thought he was dreaming.
He saw someone he never expected.
"Is it you?"
Jiang Wuya smiled faintly and sat in front of Yuan Lang.
"I never thought that you were the heir of Caolu." Jiang Wuya said this from the bottom of his heart.
Yuan Lang was in a trance for a moment, and his head felt a sharp pain for a while, and then he woke up.
It was not a dream, he really saw Jiang Wuya.
Wasn't he executed by Zhou Ruyuan? How come he's still alive?
Jiang Wuya got straight to the point and said, "I'm here on behalf of the imperial court to ask for your help."
Yuan Lang's pupils shrank and his face was full of disbelief.
"You must be very curious. We are clearly in your camp, so how did you come to me?" Jiang Wuya asked calmly.
Yuan Lang didn't say anything, but began to look around.
This was inside a tent, but it was no longer the military tent of Tianjin where he was. So there was only one possibility, it was the imperial court's tent.
"The fact that you brought me here means that we have your people in our army." Yuan Lang is not a fool.
Jiang Wuya smiled slightly and said a name.
Jiang Wuya's pupils shrank and he was shocked again.
"Our Majesty said that if you are willing to surrender, you will be the governor of Tianjin."
Yuan Lang laughed contemptuously, then suddenly thought of something and his face changed drastically.
"Shen Lanxi is not dead?"
Jiang Wuya: "Don't worry, even if you die, our Majesty will not die."
Yuan Lang's heart was filled with turmoil. How could a woman like Shen Lanxi make so many people obey her orders? How could those people be willing to let her drive them around?
Obviously, Shen Lanxi should be the loser.
"What? Don't you believe we can take Tianjin?"
"Let me tell you, your Majesty not only wants to capture Jinmen, but also wants to capture Jinmen with the least casualties without hurting any civilians."
Arrogant, absolutely arrogant.
Even a heroic man would not say such arrogant words.
Shen Lanxi was neither a man nor of royal blood, so he had no chance of winning.
"Don't rush to answer me. Just think about how we were able to bring you here so smoothly."
Either their army was like a pile of loose sand, or the number of spies in the army was so large that he could not imagine it.
Jiang Wuya was not in a hurry and asked, "Does Zhou Ruyuan know about the relationship between you and Zhou Qiwu?"
Yuan Lang was horrified and stared at Jiang Wuya.
"It's no use looking at me anymore. Zhou Qiwu and you are not the same kind of people at all. Neither is Zhou Ruyuan."
"You want to be the number one counselor and prove your status as the successor of the thatched cottage by assisting a wise king. But you also have to see whether that wise king is a puddle of mud or a boulder."
"You can't even tell the difference. You've lost to the Heir of Guigu from the very beginning."
He even clamored to fight with the descendants of Guiguzi, which is simply a joke.
Yuan Lang felt embarrassed when his relationship with Zhou Qiwu was exposed, but also helpless when his ambitions were exposed.
He didn't know how many wise rulers there were in the world, but he knew that the ones he always met were mediocre.
Jiang Wuya: "Your Majesty has proved with facts that great talent and strategy are not exclusive to men, and heroism is not only used to describe women. As long as the country can be governed well and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the people below don't care whether it is a man or a woman sitting on the dragon throne."
