C175 To Force the Soldiers to Retreat Princess Jin Yu Passed down an Imperial Decree
"I don't think it's that simple, do I? We have spies, and they should have spies as well. We have sent out all our troops. It's impossible for them not to know about such a big movement. If they knew, wouldn't we have run away for nothing? "
"Hahahaha, mm, you're right. Actually, when we left the city, I think the news had already reached their ears. "
"Then why are we still doing this?"
"Didn't I say earlier that if they don't retreat, then we'll force them to retreat. I think after they get the news that we sent troops, they won't dare to fight us head-on anymore. The only way is to retreat immediately. "
"But if we can't obtain their grain, then our crisis won't be resolved. As long as they persist for a few more days, they will drag us down. " After hearing General Qu's words, Qing Yun asked anxiously.
"Haha, Your Highness, don't worry. This matter is very easy to resolve. Actually, I have already reported this matter to the Emperor. Furthermore, the Emperor has already sent troops to transport grain to Antian Prefecture. I think the grain should arrive in a few days' time. Furthermore, he has sent another 50 thousand men to follow the army as our reinforcements. So as long as we force these two teams to retreat, we will have enough time to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. At that time, it will be impossible for them to invade again. "
"So the Marshal has already made arrangements for all of this. I was overthinking it. " Qing Yun said with admiration.
"Haha, this is how war is. Before the troops and horses move, grain is first. If we want to fight, we must be able to provide an endless supply of grain. If it wasn't for them having someone like Jia Tianwei, our grain would be quite abundant. "
"That's right. This Jia Tianwei is indeed our most troublesome enemy. It's really a pity that he escaped this time. " Qing Yun sighed and said.
"Don't be discouraged. If he dies so easily, will he still be our most troublesome enemy? I believe that one day, we will be able to bring him to justice. "
"Yes, I must kill him with my own hands. "
At this moment, the scout reported.
"Reporting to the Marshal, the encampment of Yanshun is just ahead, but the people of Yanshun have long disappeared. "
"En, I understand. Continue to investigate. Pass on my order, increase the speed of your troops and leave the Yanshun. Also, pass on my order to General Yim, continue to chase after the Sand Lake Country. If you still can't catch up to them in the morning, return to the Antian Prefecture immediately. " Qu Jinpeng turned around and gave a new order to the people behind him.
"Also, Your Highness, immediately bring ten thousand people back to the city. " General Qu said to Qing Yun after he finished giving the order.
"Yes. " After saying that, Qing Yun turned her horse around and returned to Antian Prefecture with ten thousand people. General Qu led the group and continued to chase after them.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, General Qu and General Yim all returned to Antian Prefecture.
"Marshal, I have been chasing them all the way until dawn, but I did not see any signs of Sand Lake. I guess they have pushed them to the border. "
"Mm, well done. Our grain will arrive in a few days. Although the enemy has retreated, we can't relax at all. We have to increase our patrol. The more we are in a situation like this, the more careful we have to be. "
"Yes. " General Yim turned around and went to make arrangements.
A few days later, the grain was safely transported to the Antian Prefecture. The fifty thousand soldiers had also entered the Antian Prefecture. This immediately increased the strength of Da Ming. This also made Jia Tianwei and Xin Er helplessly withdraw their troops.
Days passed just like that. The spies reported that the Yanshun and the Sand Lake Country had all returned to their own countries. This news made everyone in the Antian Prefecture incomparably excited. Just as they were still immersed in the joy of victory, an important figure came to the Antian Prefecture.
"Reporting to the Marshal, the Emperor has sent an envoy to deliver the decree. "
"Is that so? He came so quickly, where did he go?"
"He's about to enter the city. "
"Haha, okay. Let's go out and welcome him. " General Qu led the group to the city gate and waited for the envoy to arrive. In a short while, a group of thousands of people and horses walked over. Soon, they arrived at the city gate. When General Qu and Qingyun saw the person riding at the front of the group, they quickly knelt down and greeted him.
"This official, Qu Jinpeng, greets Princess Jinyu. The princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old. "
"This official, Mu Qingyun, greets the princess. "
When General Yim and the lieutenants heard that the person who came was the princess, they hurriedly knelt down and greeted her.
"Haha, General Qu, Your Highness, long time no see. How have you been?" Zhu Jinying, dressed in a male outfit, sat on the horse and looked at the crowd in front of her.
"Haha, good, good. "
"Haha, I actually wanted to come a long time ago. It's a pity that Royal Brother didn't want me to come. If it wasn't for me pestering him all day long, he wouldn't have let me come. You should get up quickly and stop kneeling here. "
"Thank you, Princess. " After saying that, everyone stood up.
"Princess, you must be tired from all the work. It's better for you to rest in General's Mansion. " General Yim said from the side.
"You must be General Yim?"
"That's me. "
"Royal Brother told me about you. You have made a great contribution this time. Royal Brother said he would reward you handsomely. "
"Hehe, this is what I should do. Princess, please move to General's Mansion. "
"Alright, let's go. " General Yim led the group back to General's Mansion. In the main hall, Princess Jinyu sat on top of the chair and General Qu and the others sat down.
"Princess, this is Border Town. There is nothing good about it. But because it is a place that must be passed through all the countries, there are many special snacks. I have prepared a feast for the princess tonight to welcome you. "
" Haha, okay, I love hearing that. I just want to eat all the delicacies in the world. However, General Qu, His Royal Highness, and General Yim are here to deliver a decree. So, let's get down to business first, then catch up with each other. "
"Yes. "
"Qu Jinpeng, Mu Qingyun, and Yan He came forward to receive the decree. " The princess stood up and took the imperial edict from the guards beside her. She looked at the crowd and slowly opened the imperial edict.
"This official accepts the imperial edict. " After saying that, everyone stood up and knelt on the ground.
"By the will of the heavens, the Emperor declares. General Qu's instructions were correct. In order to win this victory, he made great contributions and rewarded a thousand taels of silver. He had been promoted from a rank one official to a rank one official, and he would be able to move his troops back to the court on the day of the Imperial Decree. Although Mu Qingyun had just entered the battlefield, he did not care about his own safety as he went deep into the enemy camp. He killed the commander of the enemy army and designed the Celestial Wolf Kingdom to retreat automatically. He had turned the disadvantageous situation around, and he had made great contributions. He had given the rank 2 vanguard unit commander a chance to return to the capital and reward him with a thousand taels of silver. Yan He, He had helped the Royal Highness enter the enemy camp, and had excellent guards. Moreover, he was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and was specially promoted to a Rank Two Stabilizing Great General. He was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver because he had lived in the Antian Prefecture for a long time. He was familiar with the terrain, so he stayed in the Antian Prefecture for the time being. He gave another one million taels of silver to help General Yim rebuild the town. He recruited soldiers and horses to build the city walls. In order to prevent foreign enemies from invading again, when all the rebels were wiped out, You will be able to return to the capital to serve. "
