Because Bai Su killed a powerful general of Dayan, he quickly became famous, but also made Dayan wary of him and did not take the initiative to attack for the time being.
After the old emperor learned about this, he was also very happy. He felt that good news had finally come back from the front line. He immediately promised in the court that he would reward Bai Su greatly when he returned.
Of course, what he hoped more was that the enemy would withdraw and end the war.
But the geese's temporary peace didn't fool Bai Su. He wasn't going to sit still and wait for death. He took advantage of the rising momentum and launched a sudden attack, reclaiming the cities previously occupied by the enemy. He even went deep into the grasslands and destroyed part of the Tak tribe's forces.
On the other hand, during the time that Bai Su was away, many big and small things happened in Xiling Imperial City.
For example, the loyal and brave Marquis Bai Heguang fell while walking flat on his back and broke his leg. He should have been recuperating at home, but instead he went out to drink and even stayed in the building.
Who knew that he would accidentally fall into the toilet while going to the toilet at night? When he was found, not only was his stomach full of feces, but he also had a broken head. He was humiliated and became a laughing stock.
For example, the censors suddenly impeached several officials from the prime minister's party for corruption and bribery. The evidence was conclusive, and Prime Minister Yan's party was gradually losing power.
Afterwards, the fifth prince Situ Chen was appointed crown prince. Chen Tian went to the old emperor to have a secret talk with him, and after gaining his trust, he no longer concealed his edge.
In a short period of time, Chen Tian gained a lot of power. However, his actions were all to pave the way for the prince and stabilize the government, which earned him more gratitude from Situ Chen.
At the same time, Chen Tian was secretly working hard to obtain military funds and supplies for the border.
The treasury was empty, and what they could offer was just a drop in the bucket. Chen Tian had planned ahead and accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, but what army would be dissatisfied with such a large amount of military funds and supplies?
Moreover, as the days passed, news of victory would occasionally arrive from the border. It was clear that Bai Su was going to fight a protracted war.
Under the manipulation of Chen Tian and Tie Xuanwei, officials, wealthy businessmen and capable people from all over the country also donated generously.
A new batch of military supplies was transported to the front line, but unfortunately the journey was too long, and it would probably take some time for it to reach Bai Su's hands.
Through 009, Chen Tian knew that Bai Su's situation at the border was much better than what was written in the memorial he submitted, which made him feel relieved.
However, he could also understand why his lover deliberately described the battle situation as fraught with danger. After all, if not, the old emperor and some of his cronies in the court would probably become restless again and hold him back.
The soldiers had a rare chance to relax these past few days. Although they couldn't drink, Bai Su took the banknotes Chen Tian had given him and sent his men to the town to buy some good food, so they could share it with everyone as a celebration.
This year's supplies were plentiful, a relief for everyone. Their General Bai would occasionally look after them, paying for their meals out of his own pocket, something they hadn't dared to dream of in the past.
Winter is almost here. Fighting is not the most frightening thing. What is most frightening is returning from fighting on the battlefield with no food or clothes to eat and no medicine to use for your wounds.
So although it is still a bit tight now, it is much better than in previous years.
Bai Su ate with the soldiers every day, and now he sat with them. Seeing the relaxed smiles on the soldiers' faces, he felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
He had been on the battlefield for several months, and although he had received many letters from Prince Ning in the capital, he had learned from Tie Xuanwei that Prince Ning had been making frequent moves recently and was gaining more and more power in the court.
Thinking of the handwritten letter filled with sweet words and expressing all the longing, Bai Su didn't feel much sweetness in his heart.
What Prince Ning really wants is probably the support of the army under his command.
Once he defeats Dayan, he will be able to sit on the throne in front of the palace. As for loyalty to the emperor...
Although Situ Hongshen wasn't overly incompetent, he wasn't a good emperor either. The Fifth Prince was good, but who doesn't have selfish motives? Chen Ye was already qualified to inherit the throne.
While thinking, Bai Su quickly finished the rice in his bowl and took a walk around the camp to digest the food.
As I was walking, I saw three or five soldiers holding freshly prepared meals, gathered together, chatting and eating.
"Have you heard? There's news from the capital that the Tak tribe may surrender." A dark-skinned man said mysteriously to the people around him.
The goateed man beside him waved his hand dismissively, "Stop talking nonsense! We're on the front lines and don't even know. How could the capital know before us?"
"What do you know? My brother-in-law's brother's colleague's great-uncle's relatives are a wealthy family in the capital. They say the Tak tribe has sent a letter, asking the delegation to bring their most beautiful Princess Xilin to see the emperor.
Then what else could he bring the princess with him for? To marry her to a foreign country!"
"But the emperor is old enough to be the princess's father!"
"What do you know? I heard that the princess has a crush on Prince Ning."
"Whether it's true or not, Prince Ning is a famous handsome man in Xiling. He still has no wife, so it would be appropriate to grant him a marriage.
But you say, if this is true, and the Tucker tribe surrenders, and only the geese are left, we will be much more relaxed! Then we can go home soon!"
Everyone knew that ending the war wasn't easy, but having hope always made their lives more hopeful.
Afterwards, a few people chatted some more, mostly gossip in the military camp and interesting things in their hometown, but Bai Su didn't feel like listening any more.
His mind was now filled with the group of people just now saying that the Tak tribe was sending a princess to marry the prince of Ning!
Bai Su didn't know how he got back to the tent. He stood alone in front of the table for a long time, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in gloom.
Ridiculous, so ridiculous!
While he was fighting outside to kill the enemy, that person was getting married!
It was obvious that King Ning had once asked her to tie his hair with a red hairpin and told her that they would be together for the rest of their lives.
Such nice words, but in the end they are just lies...
But didn't I already know that? If I knew it was all fake, why would my heart still hurt so much?
Taking a deep breath, Bai Su bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes filled with blood and fierceness. His eyes were red like a demon crawling out of hell, and the paranoia and stubbornness in them were simply terrifying.
None of this matters. No matter what kind of princess she is or whether it is an arranged marriage, she will not let these things hinder them.
Situ Chenye belongs to him, and only him!
It will be soon. Soon. When the time comes, as long as Prince Ning wants the supreme throne, he will know what choice he should make.
Afterwards, the offensive of the Xiling army suddenly became fierce.
With sufficient food and weapons, they had no worries. Bai Su used his military prowess to defeat the enemy, wiping out a large number of tribes that had been harassing the border, and forcing Dayan to retreat step by step.
Meanwhile, within the capital, the political situation became increasingly stable. Situ Chen was a man of great talent, and after becoming the crown prince, he gradually began to learn the ways of ruling.
Seeing that the Crown Prince was assisting the government, everything was back on track. Chen Tian counted the large amount of military food and supplies he had prepared again, curled his lips, and then went to the palace to ask the old emperor for some things.
The father and son had a pleasant conversation in the imperial study. Chen Tian politely declined the old emperor's offer to keep him for lunch, and left with the things he had obtained.
After specifically instructing Tie Xuanwei not to reveal the news of his trip to the border to Bai Su, Chen Tian finally set off with peace of mind.
I haven’t seen my wife for such a long time. I miss her!
At this moment, Bai Su has become the real God of War of Xiling in the eyes of all the soldiers. It seems that as long as he is there, they will definitely win.
But Bai Su didn't want to waste too much time, as he was still thinking about the person in the capital who made him worried.
Otherwise, with the current momentum, it is not impossible to penetrate deep into the heart of Dayan and directly break the imperial city there.
Over the years, military generals have been treated too harshly and actually don't have much good feelings towards the royal family.
Bai Su was originally the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and with the support of Old Master Bai, and his valor, he had completely taken control of the three armies in a short period of time.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Bai Su is a walking military commander.
Dayan was finally frightened by the attack, and the commander sent a letter of surrender, and the two armies temporarily ceased fighting. However, he did not rush to submit the news of Dayan's surrender.
General Shang and the military advisor both asked when the army would return to the capital, and Bai Su temporarily evaded the question.
Of course he had to go back to the capital, there was a reason why he had to go back, but he couldn't go back so easily.
Although he did not reveal his great achievements at the border to the court these days, he secretly asked Tie Xuanwei to pass the news to King Ning. He believed that Situ Chenye could easily see his value.
Bai Su's eyes were a little cold. The civil officials in the court had been comfortable for so long, and it was time for these military generals to have their turn.
When he has all the power in the court, Prince Ning will have to belong to him obediently!
Thinking of this, Bai Su began to carefully plan his return to the capital. However, that night, the army received a large amount of military supplies.
However, the quantity this time was huge. It was said that there were not only nice quilts and clothes, but also a large amount of meat purchased from the surrounding areas. Bai Su was a little surprised when he received the news.
Their military supplies are not too tight now, and he doesn't think the court would be so kind as to send so many things.
So after listening to what the people below said, Bai Su stood up and wanted to go and see for himself.
But at this moment, the curtain of his tent was lifted up from the outside, and an extremely familiar figure stood in front of him.
Looking at Prince Ning in front of him, who was dressed in tight clothes and looked dusty but still looked elegant, Bai Su was stunned for a moment.
Chen Tian: Surprised or not? Unexpected or not?
The author has something to say:
Bai Su: As the legend goes, walking into a trap???
