Chapter 475 Offered with Both Hands
After escaping through the secret passage, Huangfu Nanfeng quickly returned to camp after reuniting with the troops he had arranged to meet him in the rear.
Fenglao Pass was originally a key military location for the State of Chu.
The Huangfu clan built many secret passages.
Many of them have already been discovered by the State of Jin.
However, there are still a few secret passages that require special methods to find.
This is why he dared to attack Fenglao Pass.
Huangfu Nanfeng's face had turned deathly pale.
If it weren't for the Night Return Pill, a secret medicine from the Chu Kingdom, he wouldn't have made it back to camp.
When Huangfu Nanfeng led the remaining troops back to camp, he was already somewhat dazed.
When the military doctor treated Huangfu Nanfeng's wound, he saw that Huangfu Nanfeng's face was grave.
"Marshal, your wound is too deep. I will go and make some anesthetic immediately."
Huangfu Nanfeng said, "No need, treat it like this!"
The military doctor said anxiously, "Marshal! This wound needs to be stitched up. If we don't use anesthetic, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on!"
Huangfu Nanfeng's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was deathly pale.
"Sew!"
The medic was taken aback. "Marshal!"
Huangfu Nanfeng looked at him and said, "I said sew it like this!"
The military doctor immediately went to prepare the necessary supplies.
He experienced that feeling of being on the verge of death again so quickly.
It's the same person.
Huangfu Su should already know about Huangfu Nanlin's death.
She has won over the hearts of the people in this army. If he loses consciousness, he may never wake up again.
The medic's hands were still trembling slightly as he prepared to suture.
This suturing technique is inherently dangerous, and performing it without anesthesia is unprecedented.
Huangfu Nanfeng closed his eyes. "Do it!"
The military doctor reached out his hand to Huangfu Nanfeng.
Throughout the entire process, Huangfu Nanfeng did not make a single sound.
His clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Until the very end, the military doctor looked as if he had been pulled out of the water.
"Marshal, the wound has been treated."
Huangfu Nanfeng was helped to sit up.
The military doctor immediately brought over the herbal medicine.
Huangfu Nanfeng was already somewhat exhausted.
He hesitated for a while before taking the medicine and drinking it all in one gulp.
Huangfu Nanfeng looked at his subordinates and ordered the three armies to take stock of their troops and prepare for a full-scale battle.
"yes!"
At this moment, the tent flap was opened.
"Huangfu Nanfeng, you were too eager for quick success and attacked Fenglao Pass without authorization, causing heavy losses to our soldiers. What is your crime?"
Huangfu Su walked in with his generals, his face full of anger.
The generals automatically split into two factions as soon as they entered the room.
Huangfu Nanfeng looked behind Huangfu Su, a hint of sarcasm creeping onto his face.
Or perhaps it really is an insatiable dog.
Huangfu Nanfeng showed no panic on his face. Instead, he got up and came to Huangfu Su.
“Aunt, if you hadn’t killed the Crown Prince of Jin, this war would never have started now. When it comes to being greedy for merit and reckless, Aunt is no less capable.”
Huangfu Su immediately shouted, "Stop making false accusations! This is a frame-up by the State of Jin. They are ambitious and have been trying to annex the State of Chu. Now that you have failed in your attempt to gain merit, you still dare to try to smear me!"
Huangfu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Aunt, now everyone in this tent is an outsider. Everyone knows whether the assassination of the Crown Prince of Jin has anything to do with you or not. As for Huangfu Nanlin's background, do you really think you can hide it from the entire court?"
Huangfu Su's face grew increasingly cold. "You dare mention Lin'er? He treated you like his own brother, and he was completely devoted to you. Yet you schemed to kill him! You are heartless and despicable, worse than a dog!"
Huangfu Nanfeng said with a sneer, “Aunt, the battlefield is ruthless. All the soldiers are fighting for the Chu Kingdom. Nanlin died for the Chu Kingdom. If the Chu Kingdom needs me to die, I will not hesitate. Aunt, when it comes to the country, remember not to be attached to personal feelings.”
He simply looked at the generals behind Huangfu Su and said, “Auntie doesn’t understand warfare, so I don’t blame you. Fenglao Pass is a strategic location between the states of Chu and Jin. Whoever occupies Fenglao Pass will gain the upper hand. Auntie may not understand, but don’t you generals understand? If you can’t even understand something this simple, how did you get your positions as generals?”
The generals behind Huangfu Su naturally knew the importance of Fenglao Pass.
But what Huangfu Su gave them was something Huangfu Nanfeng could not give.
These military officers risked their lives and fortunes.
They will be loyal to whoever can provide them with more.
Huangfu Su looked at Huangfu Nanfeng with hatred in his eyes: "Are you afraid of being punished by His Majesty, so you prepared this excuse?"
He approached Huangfu Su, and the two stood facing each other.
"If the State of Jin does not attack within three days, I will atone with my death."
Huangfu Su immediately said, "Have all the soldiers heard this? If the Jin army does not arrive within three days, I will personally behead you!"
The generals were taken aback. Huangfu Nanfeng was one of the most capable and valiant members of the royal family in the history of Chu. Chu had been fighting with Jin for so many years.
Only Huangfu Nanfeng could maintain the upper hand despite Qin Ye's suppression.
Those who fought in the court were well aware of the power struggles within the court.
But Huangfu Nanfeng wouldn't lie about war.
"Marshal, is the Jin Kingdom really going to launch a full-scale attack on the city?"
Huangfu Nanfeng looked at everyone and said, “Although Qin Ye is still the commander of the Jin army, Qin Jinzhi has inherited the position and will take over the Zhenbei Army in the future. Qin Ye has gradually delegated power to her. This time, Fenglao Pass was set up by Qin Jinzhi. My wound was inflicted by her own hand. She will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity after I was seriously injured.”
The soldiers behind Huangfu Su also tensed up.
I didn't expect the two sides to be engaged in full-scale war so soon.
Huangfu Nanfeng looked at everyone and said, "Gentlemen, if you don't want to lose the initiative, take stock of your forces immediately!"
The Chu generals looked at each other, then said, "Please give the order, Marshal."
Huangfu Nanfeng immediately said, "Quickly muster the troops and follow me to meet the enemy."
"yes!"
The generals who supported Huangfu Nanfeng all came out of his tent.
Huangfu Nanfeng looked at Huangfu Su with a cold smile in his eyes, "Aunt, now is not the time for us to fight. The Chu Kingdom has fallen, and we are both prisoners. Do you think she will let you go?"
Huangfu Su sneered, "So you've finally come to this sorry state. If I could, I'd really like her to kill you on the battlefield!"
Huangfu Nanfeng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "I'm afraid it won't be as Aunt wishes. Not only will I not die, but within seven days, I will also make the Jin Kingdom hand over Fenglao Pass with both hands."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Su burst into sarcastic laughter. "Huangfu Nanfeng, how dare you speak so arrogantly? The entire army you led was wiped out. How can you still boast like this?"
Huangfu Nanfeng looked into Huangfu Su's eyes and said, "A person always needs to have some backup plans. If there's no way out, wouldn't one just become someone's meal?"
