A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1533 The poor Beiling people
How to fight this battle?
No matter what the Beiling people thought, there was no possibility of retreating after this battle. If an army of 100,000 could not even destroy the Fengli tribe, which had less than 10,000 people, the soldiers of Beiling would no longer be human.
But just as the Beiling soldiers were desperately rushing forward, the Beiling general ordered: "Retreat, retreat."
"What?" The Beiling soldiers were dumbfounded. If they retreated at this time, the commander's head would be caught by the horse's butt.
"Retreat!" The order came again. The Beiling soldiers couldn't believe it, but the facts were in front of them. Even if they were dissatisfied, they had to retreat obediently.
"Bei Ling has withdrawn? What are they going to do?" Not to mention the Bei Ling soldiers, even Feng Qingchen's men were puzzled.
Feng Qingchen looked at the Ninth Uncle, who did not hide anything and said two words: "Internal strife."
The struggle for power in the army was just as fierce, and the factional fighting was even more direct. The death of a general and five deputy generals left so many positions vacant. The Beiling army was in chaos, and everyone was busy fighting for military power. Who had time to care about their lives?
Besides, the other side thinks that they have an army of 100,000, and even if they do nothing at that time, they will be surrounded and killed. What does it matter if they attack a day or two later?
Uh... Feng Qingchen's forehead was filled with black lines. Thinking of World War I and World War II, those battles that were lost due to political struggles, he suddenly realized something.
Military power and political power are inseparable. In the face of personal power and interests, the overall situation of the country sometimes becomes insignificant.
"I got a bargain." Feng Qingchen stopped beating the drum and shook his sore hands.
"Luck is also part of strength." The Ninth Prince hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and held Feng Qingchen's hand.
A warm current surged in, and Feng Qingchen felt much more comfortable. He turned his head and gave the Ninth Prince a grateful smile. The Ninth Prince said that he had achieved perfection.
Isn't this the kind of life he wants?
The man was elegant and graceful, and the woman was heroic and valiant. They walked together in the camp, and the soldiers avoided them one after another, which further highlighted the difference between the two.
"The eldest lady and the ninth prince are a perfect match." Someone said this, and everyone immediately agreed.
"It is the Ninth Prince who deserves the eldest lady."
"Yes, yes, it is the Ninth Prince who is barely worthy of the eldest lady."
The more they talked, the more outrageous their remarks became, and their voices became louder and louder. Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince couldn't help laughing as they listened. Compared to the Ninth Prince's indifference, Feng Qingchen was a little more excited.
Finally someone said that the Ninth Prince was worthy of her, rather than her trying to marry him.
The Ninth Prince knew Feng Qingchen's little thoughts, but he didn't expose them. He had never thought about whether they were a good match or not. Regardless of whether they were a good match or not, they were still them, so why should they care about what outsiders thought of their relationship?
"I'm afraid Beiling won't attack again in the short term. We can start arranging for the evacuation." Feng Qingchen returned to the tent and fell to the ground, refusing to get up.
"Just lie down dressed like this. Don't you feel uncomfortable?" Feng Qingchen was still wearing the armor. The Ninth Prince shook his head and stepped forward to undress Feng Qingchen.
"I'm tired." Feng Qingchen opened her arms to make it easier for the Ninth Prince to serve her.
"No matter how tired you are, you must take off your clothes before going to bed." The Ninth Prince helped Feng Qingchen up, took off her top, and motioned for her to take off her pants herself.
Feng Qingchen was feeling lazy all over and didn't want to move while lying down, but in order to sleep more comfortably, he got up obediently, took off his clothes, and then fell back onto the bed.
By the time the Ninth Prince had wrung out the handkerchief and came over, Feng Qingchen had already fallen asleep and had forgotten what they had just discussed.
The Ninth Prince sighed softly, wiped Feng Qingchen's face, helped her adjust her posture, and pulled the quilt beside her to cover her: "Have a good sleep." After waking up, everything was over.
The Ninth Prince leaned forward and placed a kiss on Feng Qingchen's eyelids, then turned and left. Before leaving, he specifically instructed his personal soldiers: "Protect the young lady, and no one is allowed to disturb her."
"Yes." The soldier was stunned for a moment, then obeyed the order obediently.
Although the Ninth Prince Uncle had not issued any orders in the army in the past few days, he had been accompanying Feng Qingchen all these days. It was easy to imagine that the relationship between the two was average, and the personal soldiers did not dare to offend the Ninth Prince Uncle.
The Ninth Prince left the tent and did not go to look for the commander of his private army. Instead, he summoned the Wolf Lord and asked him to arrange for the evacuation.
"Evacuate? At this time? What if the Beiling army attacks again?" The Wolf Lord looked conflicted.
He is Feng Qingchen's man, how could he obey the orders of the Ninth Uncle, but... can he not listen?
The fact that the Ninth Prince found him instead of other generals meant that the Ninth Prince did not want to interfere in Feng Qingchen’s military affairs. He was just helping Feng Qingchen deal with follow-up matters.
"No." said the Ninth Prince.
"What?" The Wolf Lord felt like his brain had skipped a beat. He didn't understand what the Ninth Uncle meant.
"They won't attack us. Beiling won't attack us again. Retreat." This time there was no room for doubt. The Wolf Lord was even more troubled and asked carefully, "What if the young lady asks about it?"
"She won't blame you."
With the assurance from the Ninth Prince, the Wolf Lord heaved a sigh of relief and hurried down to give orders. The Ninth Prince also sent a message to the Eighteen Riders, asking them to come back immediately after handling the affairs of the Fengli Clan.
When they were preparing to return to the camp, they met the two old monsters who came back with Doudou.
"Hmph..." When Doudou saw the Ninth Prince, he turned his head away and refused to pay any attention to him, making it clear that he was still angry.
The Ninth Prince ignored Doudou's childish behavior and nodded to the two old monsters: "Thank you for your hard work, seniors. You did a great job." These two people, like Doudou, had to stroke their fur.
Sure enough, when the Ninth Prince praised them, the two old monsters immediately smiled, but they were not Doudou, they were still very graceful, smiled reservedly, and said that it was just a small matter, which they could do with just a raise of their hands.
"The actions of the two seniors are indeed extraordinary. I have one small matter, I wonder if I could trouble you two seniors." Given the Ninth Prince's personality of not doing anything without profit, how could he praise these two people for no reason?
"Whatever it is, just tell us. We will definitely help if we can." Fortunately, the two of them had some brains and did not agree without thinking. But it didn't matter. The task given to them by the Ninth Prince was very simple: "If you two seniors are free, please go to Nanling and Dongling."
"Why are we going to Nanling and Dongling?" Master Doudou looked at the Ninth Uncle warily.
There is danger.
"The imperial seal of Beiling is in Nanling." Now that the imperial seal has appeared, Beiling will naturally send troops to Nanling.
"The general stationed on the border of Dongling is named Yuwen. Senior, just tell him that the people of Beiling bullied Feng Qingchen." Yuwen Yuanhua was smart and he naturally knew what to do.
Nanling and Beiling, Dongling and Beiling. When Beiling goes to war with these two countries, will they still have the energy and troops to surround and kill him and Feng Qingchen?
"You weren't the one who threw the jade seal over, were you?" Master Doudou circled around the Ninth Uncle. The Ninth Uncle remained expressionless and allowed Master Doudou to look at him. In response to Master Doudou's questions, he just nodded slightly.
It was just a casual plan at first, but now that it can be used, I will definitely not let it go.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk...Doudou is right, you are really a bad person." Master Doudou said in an admiring tone, and then added proudly: "But I like it! Leave it to me, I will definitely do it for you."
Poor people of Beiling, having offended the bad guy, the Ninth Prince, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
Uh... the Ninth Prince was stunned for a moment.
As expected, you can’t be too serious with creatures like Doudou and Master Doudou, otherwise he will be angry to death!
