Xiangze followed him silently, then suddenly smiled and whispered, "Brother, I have often thought recently that if you had not met Shui'er and I had not followed our mother to Giant Clam, perhaps everything would have changed!
Nan Han loves you very much, she is a good girl, you will be very happy, and I may obey my mother's will and marry to Han Country. Our country will become stronger because of the marriage with Nan Yue and Han Country, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. After several years, I may come back here with my husband and children to see my brother and Nan Han..."
Xiangze's voice was faint and deep, and floated into A'luo's ears along with the majestic voice.
A Luo smiled faintly. He suddenly wondered who Nan Han's child would look like if he was born. It was just a pity that all of this was just a hypothesis. The trajectory of life had been set several years ago, and they could only follow that trajectory!
After walking for a day, they arrived at Anyang Prefecture in the evening, and A Luo ordered the troops to set up camp.
Xiangze came out of the tent, holding a cup of hot tea and walked to A Luo's side, offering it to him with both hands, "Brother, you've been traveling all day, have a cup of tea!"
A Luo took it and drank it all in one gulp, a smile appeared in his brown eyes, "We will reach Mo Ming City tomorrow, Xiangze, are you afraid?"
Xiangze shook his head, "I'm not afraid, my brother has forgotten that I followed him in simulated battles on the grasslands since I was a child!"
A Luo said quietly, "But that was a hypothesis, but tomorrow, it will be a fact!"
Xiangze shook his head and put his head on his shoulder, "Brother, no matter what happens, we will face it together!"
A Luo patted her shoulder gently and remained silent.
Hope everything goes well tomorrow!
Leng Jiu hurried over from the side, knelt on the ground and reported, "Your Majesty, General Cai E has already set out from the border.
We will arrive at Moming City early in the morning and meet the Emperor!"
A Luo waved his hand, "Okay, tomorrow we will attack with all our strength and catch that Qingluo off guard!"
First he eliminated Qingluo, and then sent his troops north to resist Nanyue. Now he was somewhat thankful that Nanyue had a vast territory. It would take at least four days to send troops from Yuecheng to the border. He had enough time to eliminate those so-called Green Luo orphans!
As the dusk deepened, A Luo found it difficult to fall asleep. He sat up from time to time and looked at the time, his heart filled with excitement. This was his first battle and he must win and become famous in one battle!
I don't know how long I sat there, until the sky gradually turned white and the horn for cooking sounded. Only then did A Luo realize that he had been sitting there all night...
Xiangze came in after drawing aside the curtain. Seeing his tired look, he asked the soldiers behind him to bring food to him and said softly, "I know you can't sleep well, so I made some ginseng soup and bird's nest. At least you have to eat well, brother. This is your first battle!"
A Luo nodded, stepped forward and ate all the supplements.
Xiangze nodded in satisfaction and ate something. Soon he heard the departure horn, so he said goodbye and went back to pack his bags.
The three armies were ready to go. A Luo was riding on his horse, and was about to wave the hand signal to start when he saw a fast horse galloping in the distance. Before the horse had even stopped, the soldier jumped off the horse neatly, knelt on the ground, raised a scroll of documents high above his head, and reported loudly, "Your Majesty, an urgent letter from General Cai E!"
A Luo was startled, and had a bad feeling. He quickly took it, unfolded it, and looked at it. His face changed slightly, and he whispered, "So fast?"
Xiangze, who was standing by, saw that he looked strange and asked immediately, "What happened? Didn't Cai E say that he would
Will the army join us?"
A Luo said nothing, but silently handed the letter to her.
Xiangze quickly took it, unfolded it, and after reading it, his face suddenly turned pale: "What? The Nanyue army is gathering at the border? And the Han Kingdom has sent more troops. What does Leng Yichen want to do? Besides, how could the Nanyue army be so fast..."
It was too fast. It was two days faster than they had estimated, almost half the time. Unless Nanyue’s army traveled overnight without resting for these two days and nights, otherwise…
"It seems that Nanyue has received the news that Moming Lake has been captured. They want me to be too busy to take care of both sides!" A Luo whispered. He didn't expect that on the first day of the expedition, Yue Nanchen taught him a lesson - speed is of the essence in war!
"What should we do? General Cai E has decided not to join us!" Xiangze said anxiously.
Ah Luo whispered, "Cai E's decision is correct. A general is not subject to the orders of the emperor when he is away from home. If he follows the imperial edict and arrives at Moming Lake this morning, the border will be empty, and Nanyue and Han Kingdom may take advantage of the opportunity to invade. We must not take this risk!"
A Luo gradually calmed down. He looked at the army that stretched for miles. He had 10,000 people. Even if Cai E's 100,000 troops could not make it back, compared to the 2,000 Green Rose orphans, it should not be a problem to outnumber five!
But it was too different from his previous plan. In this first battle, he originally wanted to use his absolute advantage to overwhelm those rebels under the banner of Green Rose Orphans and let them know that this is not two hundred years ago!
It shouldn’t be a problem...but what he originally wanted was an absolute victory, and Nan Yue’s sudden invasion of troops disrupted his plans!
He quickly wrote the imperial edict, stamped it, and handed it to the soldier.
"Go back and tell General Cai that his
The decision is correct. I will convey my order to him to defend the border at all costs. I will join him after I finish the things on hand!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The soldier who had been traveling all night took the imperial edict and without taking a rest, he jumped on the newly replaced warhorse and galloped away immediately.
"The army, obey my orders and march!" With a wave of his hand, A Luo's army of 10,000 continued to march towards Moming City. However, this little episode cast a small shadow in the hearts of the soldiers who were already tired and unwilling to fight for a long time.
On the Moming City, Shui Yao and Yue Nanchen stood side by side, looking down at the troops approaching from afar.
Last night, Silver Fox and Ji Xi, together with Lan Yi and Fen Shang, had arrived at Mi City. Although Mi City is not an empty city now, because the weapons of Wuxing Palace are too powerful, they quickly captured the city gate and surrounded the palace gate.
Now all the military forces of Mi City are gathered in the imperial palace, and Mi Zun is personally in charge, guarding the palace gate.
"A Luo seems to have not received the news that Mi City was attacked!" Shui Yao sneered coldly and waited quietly for A Luo's troops.
Yue Nanchen looked at the sky coldly, "If my calculations are correct, A Luo will just receive the news when he arrives at the city!"
Shui Yao sighed softly, "Poor A' Luo, I want to see whether you will attack the city first or go back to save your father!"
A Luo, who was sitting upright on his warhorse, suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill. He was stunned and frowned in confusion, not knowing where the chill came from. Just as he was wondering, he saw another group of fast horses coming from a distance. The soldiers on the horses shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, urgent news from Micheng!"
A Luo reined in his horse and had a bad feeling in his heart again. Micheng... Could something have happened to his father?
Xiangze also reined in his horse,
He looked at A Luo with the same uneasiness.
The soldier jumped off his horse swiftly, knelt in front of A Luo and presented the urgent report.
A Luo grabbed it and opened it quickly. His eyes suddenly lost their composure, as if he couldn't believe it. He read it again from beginning to end word by word. His wrist trembled uncontrollably and his face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Xiangze was frightened by his expression. He stepped forward and snatched the urgent report. After just one glance, Xiangze screamed again, "How is it possible? How is it possible!"
A Luo sat on the horse in a daze, looking back at the Moming City five hundred meters away. It was noon and the sun was very bright today. He could clearly see the big flag on the city gate fluttering in the wind, a big green flag!
"Brother, what should we do?" Xiangze had completely lost her mind. She tightly grasped A Luo's arm and whispered, "They have surrounded the palace. Will father be in danger?"
Ah Luo gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to hold her trembling shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "Xiangze, don't forget your identity. Now you are not only the princess of my Miro country, but also the vanguard of this army... Calm down, Xiangze, calm down!"
A Luo said this to Xiangze, and also to himself. He desperately told himself that he was the emperor of Miro, the ruler of a country. No matter what happened, he must not panic!
What to do? The Inexplicable City is just ahead. They sent people to surround the palace. The city must be empty. Maybe they can take it down with one strike. But what if those people capture the palace?
What to do? Who will tell him? At this moment, Luo suddenly realized that he had forced himself to grow up and mature over the years, but he was really not suitable for fighting. Perhaps this time, leading the army in person was the biggest mistake!
