Chapter 155 Ancient Rebellion Foolish Female Supporting Character 25 Going to War
On the day of the expedition, Han Chengdao changed into a suit of armor and sat majestically on his horse. All the court officials were there, and they all came to see him off.
Han Chengdao led the horse and looked towards the platform for a long time, but still could not see the figure he wanted to see.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health this time and avoid getting injured. I await your triumphant return." The Prime Minister took the lead.
"I await your majesty's triumphant return!"
Han Chengdao laughed. "Very well, I will personally lead the expedition today and will surely defeat the State of Zhao without a fight. As for state affairs, I am relieved that the Prime Minister is here with me."
The Prime Minister knelt and saluted, "I have fulfilled your Majesty's trust."
Han Chengdao lowered his voice and instructed him, "After I leave, please take good care of the Yan family and the imperial concubine."
The prime minister nodded.
The time was almost up. Han Chengdao looked into the distance and saw Concubine Jing and the others, except Yan Mi.
The day before yesterday, Yan Mi insisted on going with him, but he did not agree, which made her angry. After that, Yan Mi ignored him and kept avoiding him.
He was leaving today, not even knowing if he would be able to come back, but he still hadn't seen Yan Mi.
But it was better that he didn't come, so that he wouldn't have to see her tears when they parted. He was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave.
"The time has come!"
Han Chengdao took the reins, turned around, walked through the crowd, and led the army out.
He was still thinking about Yan Mi in his heart. In fact, he really hoped to see Yan Mi again.
Unfortunately, he didn't hear the voice he had been dreaming of until he walked out of the city gate.
Han Chengdao held the reins, feeling very uncomfortable, and an unspeakable emotion grew in his heart.
By the time he arrived at the border, half a month had passed. During these ten days of travel, everyone hurried and did not stop for a moment.
Their military camp was set up far away, very close to the front line, and from here one could also see the smoke billowing in the distance.
Yan Cheng had received an imperial edict before, saying that Han Chengdao would go to the battlefield in person, and the date was almost here.
He sent people out to investigate, and sure enough, they saw a large army approaching.
"Hurry up and prepare the banquet. Don't let His Majesty suffer a loss." Yan Cheng gave the order.
"yes."
While they were preparing here, Han Chengdao was rushing over here on the other side.
There were two people riding on his horse, one of whom was petite and obviously not the height of a normal man.
There are very few people who can ride a horse with Han Chengdao.
"Your Majesty, is this the border? It does look a lot more desolate." Yan Mi looked into the distance and could already see the clustered military camps.
"Well, this is the frontier. The scenery shouldn't be like this." In Han Chengdao's memory, the frontier was also a place with green grass. Now, because of the war, the environment has changed.
"I wonder if my brother will be surprised to see me." Yan Mi chuckled.
"Who told you to sneak into the army? If I hadn't discovered you, would you have really walked all the way here?" Han Chengdao felt angry when he said this.
After leaving the city gate, he felt extremely lost. After walking for a few days, he found something wrong.
Some young soldiers were courteous to one person and took special care of him. He later discovered that the person was Yan Mi.
"You are so good, you sneaked in and let my soldiers take care of you." Han Chengdao couldn't help but laugh again.
"Who told you not to bring me here? So I had to sneak in by myself, and they were all willing to take care of me." Yan Mi would never say that she had a fight with those people, and they only took care of her because she lost the bet.
At that time, they didn't know her identity yet and thought she was dead this time. They advised her to run away quickly and they would cover for her.
However, after they found out that she was a noble concubine, those people were extremely embarrassed. They even went out of their way to find Yan Mi to apologize and gave her all the few good things they had as compensation.
Unfortunately, Yan Mi looked down upon those things and didn't want anything.
Yan Mi was going to give Yan Cheng a surprise, so she mixed in with the team again. Han Chengdao rode forward for a while and then looked back at Yan Mi.
After arriving at the military camp, Yan Cheng happily walked up and said, "Your Majesty, with Your Majesty here this time, we will definitely defeat the State of Zhao."
Han Chengdao quickly asked him to get up, and when he saw his broken arm, his eyes dimmed a lot.
"I came here this time and I will not go back until the war is quelled. You must stay by my side." Han Chengdao said.
"Okay, I just had someone prepare the meal earlier, and it's time for dinner now, so let the soldiers come and eat. The emperor must be tired after such a long journey." Yan Cheng said.
Han Chengdao waved his hand, "No hurry, I have a surprise to tell you."
Yan Cheng asked curiously, "What surprise? Is it worthy for the emperor to tell me in person?"
Han Chengdao looked at the people in the army, and then Yan Mi came out in uniform casual clothes.
Yan Cheng recognized who it was at a glance. He looked at Han Chengdao and said in dissatisfaction, "Why did the emperor bring her here? This is a battlefield, is she allowed to come here?"
Han Chengdao sighed, "I didn't ask her to come. She sneaked into the team on her own. I didn't find her until several days after we set out."
Yan Cheng felt a terrible headache. His sister was so willful. Now that she was on the battlefield, Han Chengdao couldn't control her, and neither could he. The only person who could control her was still in a coma.
I'm afraid she will cause chaos in this military camp.
"Brother, what's with that expression on your face? Do you dislike me?" Yan Mi frowned. As soon as she came over, she saw Yan Cheng's face that looked as if he had eaten shit, and she felt extremely unhappy.
"Do you know who told you to come here? If your parents find out, they will beat you to a pulp." Yan Cheng threatened.
Yan Mi was not afraid at all. "I came to the battlefield to make merit. I am not afraid even if my parents find out."
Yan Cheng felt that he would never have a peaceful life from now on.
"Enough, you are acting lawless every day relying on the favor of His Majesty. This is a military camp. Since you are here, you are a part of it and must listen to me, do you understand?" Yan Cheng said.
"I listen to the emperor." Yan Mi hugged Han Chengdao's arm with a boastful look on his face, making Yan Cheng want to refute but unable to find a point to refute.
"Okay." He gritted his teeth, "I've prepared food for you, let's go eat first."
Yan Mi followed them into the largest tent, only to find that it was extremely simple, far different from the yurt she had lived in before.
Life in this frontier is indeed hard.
Although Yan Mi felt a little disgusted, he still held back.
After traveling for such a long time, Yan Mi finally had a hot meal. Her stomach felt greatly comforted and she wished she could eat two more bowls.
I just can't eat anymore.
Han Chengdao and Yan Cheng discussed their experiences over the past few months. After learning about Zhao's weapons, Han Chengdao was indeed resentful for a long time. "This time, Zhen came here with weapons of similar power. I just don't know if they can match Zhao's."
Yan Cheng said in surprise, "That thing is really powerful. My arm was knocked off by it. At that time, I thought I would not survive. Fortunately, the military doctor was very helpful and I managed to survive."
Han Chengdao sighed, feeling very regretful. "If you had known earlier that they had this weapon, you would have been more prepared."
"It's not your Majesty's fault. It's because Zhao State hid it too well." Before this, Yan Cheng had never thought that such weapons would appear on the battlefield. After that incident, they were extremely careful.
In order to destroy that thing, they also sent people to inquire about the information. A few times, they were lucky enough to damage some of their weapons.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take me to see it too?" Yan Cheng said.
Han Chengdao nodded and said, "Let's go."
When Yan Cheng saw the hidden weapons, his eyes lit up. "This thing looks much better than Zhao's. Zhao's weapons are extremely crudely made and definitely not as good as ours."
Han Chengdao heard him say this and felt certain that this victory would definitely belong to them. He said, "This thing was actually Mi'er's idea. She got this stuff from somewhere and said it was called a cannon."
"This name suits me. My sister knows how to choose..." Yan Cheng praised her, then suddenly came to his senses. "She? Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
Han Chengdao shook his head and looked at Yan Mi, "You don't believe it? Then I'll let Mi'er come over and tell you."
Yan Cheng waved his hand, "Whatever your majesty says is what it is."
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Han Chengdao didn't say anything else. He thought that after Yan Cheng saw it later, he would naturally believe it.
After visiting the unconscious Yan's father, Yan Mi fed him the pills she got from Tong's father, and then moved into the tent under the guidance of others. She lived with Han Chengdao, and she brought a lot of things when she came, and was now sitting on the bed sorting her things.
When she had almost finished cleaning up, she saw Han Chengdao coming over.
"Your Majesty, are you finished talking?" she asked.
"Well, have a good sleep tonight. I'm going to take a look at the battlefield tomorrow. Would you like to go with me?" Han Chengdao asked.
Yan Mi nodded, "Of course I will go. I want to see what Zhao's weapons are like."
The next morning, Yan Mi and the other two led the team to the city that was still being defended.
The city soon came into view. The entire wall was covered with black holes caused by artillery fire. Fortunately, the wall was not penetrated.
As they entered the city, they were greeted by a pungent smell of blood, and there was also a hint of stench in the air.
There was no one else to be seen on the streets except the defending soldiers, and the bloodstained roads were enough to show how fierce the previous war was.
What Yan Mi didn't expect was that there were no corpses in the city.
When the generals in the city heard that Han Chengdao was coming, they came out early to greet him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have come. I apologize for the poor hospitality you have shown me."
"Nothing. Why is it so peaceful today? Where are the people of Zhao?" Han Chengdao asked.
"Yesterday, Zhao suddenly stopped the war. I don't know why."
Han Chengdao nodded.
Yan Mi felt strange in his heart. Could it be that Zhao State knew that they were coming?
Why the sudden ceasefire?
While they were talking, Yan Mi wanted to slip away to investigate, but was caught by Yan Cheng as soon as he turned around.
Yan Cheng's eyes glared, "What do you want to do?"
"Just looking around, don't worry, brother, let go." Yan Mi's collar was grabbed.
"Go, but don't go too far." Yan Cheng then let her go.
Yan Mi gained his freedom and sneaked out of the city. With the help provided by Tong's father, he bypassed the Zhao scouts and slipped into the Zhao military camp with his nimble movements.
The Zhao army camp's arsenal was heavily guarded, and Yan Mi had no chance to get close, so she changed direction and headed straight for the main camp.
In the main camp of the State of Zhao, several generals were speaking out loudly at this moment, "I think that the State of Cheng is shit. They were fighting well before, but suddenly they asked us to cease fire."
"Your Majesty is a man of great talent and vision. He naturally has his concerns about asking us to cease fire. You just need to follow his orders."
"Even if they have reinforcements, we have this magical weapon. We will take this city within half a month." The man was still not convinced.
The voice of the following words gradually became lower and she could not hear clearly. Yan Mi suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and the next second, she left the spot.
After she left, two men, one strong and one thin, came out of the main camp. They didn't find anyone, and they couldn't help but wonder, "Was my feeling wrong just now?"
"Maybe there are spies from the Cheng Kingdom in the camp. We have to be more careful next time."
