Chapter 327 I'll Be Happy to Die under You

After three days of rest for the Tianlan army, Shangguan Pei ordered his troops to go straight to Huizhou city, but Shangguan Pei only took two hundred thousand troops, most of them staying on the spot to help Linzhou City at any time.

Wherever the army went, it made the people of the Hengyuan panicked. However, there would not be any disturbance when Shangguan Pei was in charge of the town. In order to appease the people, Shangguan Pei ordered people to distribute some food to the people who were disturbed as a consolation. Although not much food was given, it made the people who were not full grateful. There were also people who wanted to join the army. Shangguan Pei refused.

Unless Huizhou City is conquered a few years later, the local people cannot be incorporated into the army. This is an unwritten rule to prevent the appearance of traitors.

When the army was pressing down on the border, the Huizhou City army general was scared out of his wits and immediately summoned his confidants to discuss the countermeasures.

"My lord, apart from the military supplies that Commander's Mansion's own soldiers carry, those are not allowed to fight. Besides, we only have 30,000 men and horses, how can we fight the 200,000 Tianlan army? I heard that Shangguan Pei has never lost a war, so let's run." His confidant was not even in the mood to fight, so he suggested directly.

The commander in chief had the same idea, but he wanted someone to say it for him. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately ordered someone to pack his bags and run east with his wife and children under the protection of his own soldiers. He did not care if anyone in Huizhou City could take charge.

Today's Hengyuan is already riddled with holes. Unless it is a general that Wanyan Lin has trained for many years, there are almost no generals willing to live or die with the hengyuan kingdom.

With no effort, after deputy general Huizhou City hung the white flag on the city wall and opened the gate, Shangguan Pei led an army into the city to take over Huizhou City. In order to appease the people, they would not touch the original troops. They would only let the competent generals take over the military and send all the original soldiers home. Each of them gave out money and food as consolation.

Like other cities, after learning about the situation in Huizhou City, the yamen gate began to open warehouses to release grain.

In Commander's Mansion, looking at the property that was not taken away because of the large object, Shangguan Pei ordered, "Immediately send someone to chase after the general of Huizhou City. As long as you don't leave the territory of Huizhou City, you must get the person back. Thirty percent of the recovered property belongs to the soldiers."

It was an unspoken rule that a general who led a war had the right to dispose of a portion of his belongings. A general who was not enlightened would sooner or later be run off even if he was talented.

A few days after taking over Huizhou City, Wanyan Lin and the others began to discuss the next battle plan. It was already winter, and if they did not send troops, they would have to wait until next spring.

Hengyuan's temperature is much lower than that of tianlan country. In winter, there will always be a lot of soldiers who can't adapt to the climate and get cold.

"The next battle won't be so easy. This winter, the defense is the most important thing. We'll talk about it next spring." Shangguan Pei made the decision decisively, and Ji Xun supported it.

The most important thing in marching and fighting is to be at the right time and with the right people. Otherwise, no matter how good the tactics are, they will be greatly compromised or even negative points.

Su Mianyue understood that Shangguan Pei was thinking about the lives of the soldiers, and she did not want to see the bloodshed, so she planned to return to the division while the army was temporarily at a standstill. She had not seen those little monkeys for a long time, and she naturally missed them.

"I'm with you." She was worried that Su Mianyue would act alone, afraid that she would seek revenge on Wanyan Lin alone.

"Aren't you afraid that my master will kill you or force me to tear you apart?" Su Mianyue smiled, but as time passed, the broken heart recovered, and the smile was no longer forced.

"Will you?" Ji Xun asked.

"Master's orders are difficult," Su Mianyue said.

"I would gladly die under you." Ji Xun leaned over and whispered, his deep eyes full of undisguised affection.

Subconsciously, Su Mianyue turned away and said awkwardly, "Yu, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid again. I'm going back this time to bring my little monkeys out of the mountains to join the army. What kind of help could I have given him in the first place, and what I would definitely get back from him in the future? This is what he, Wanyan Lin, owes me, and he has to pay me back with interest."

Holding Su Mianyue's thin shoulder, Ji Xun said with a serious expression, "Revenge is only a part of your life. If you want Wanyan Lin's life and the country, I can give it to you with both hands, but I will not let you live in pain."

"Am I such a coward in Yu's eyes?" Su Mianyue smiled and pushed Ji Xun's hands away, "Revenge is something that you have to do yourself to be happy about. Otherwise, why would I have to travel so long?"

Seeing that Su Mianyue was not trying to be perfunctory, Ji Xun frowned and said, "I'll send you to the foot of purple mist mountain. Don't say no."

Su Mianyue nodded and the two said goodbye to Wanyan Lin, agreeing to meet in Huizhou City before spring.

Not to mention the fact that Ji Xun sent Su Mianyue away, Wanyan Lin was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted when he found out that Huizhou City had broken down without a fight.

Although the medicine that Biwu gave him could suppress the poison, it was also very harmful to his body. Every time he was extremely angry, it would stimulate the poison that remained in Wanyan Lin's body, and it would erode his heart and brain little by little. In the long run, it would definitely hurt his life.

Wanyan Lin's body was getting worse day by day, and the harem was not at peace. Yinn Yue finally joined forces with Xuezhu to protect his child. Not only did the two women abort the two pregnant concubines, but they also made them suspect each other. The harem's concubines, whether they were smart or not, were alarmed and on guard against each other.

"Your majesty, it's time to drink the medicine." Yin yue came to the bed with a medicine bowl and sat on the stool. Even though there was no love between her and Wanyan Lin, she was still as gentle as water.

"Get out, get out!" Wanyan Lin's face darkened, and he shook off the bowl of medicine in Yinn Yue's hand.

"Why should the emperor feel bad about his dragon body? The imperial doctor said that the poison in the emperor's body was once again stimulated. If he did not drink the medicine, the consequences would be worrying..." Yinn Yue, who was covered in the medicine, tried to persuade him again, but Wanyan Lin stopped him with a cold eye. He could only answer with a pale face.

"Don't tell me you don't know that this medicine is useless. If the poison of the Purple Mist Mountain leader can be solved by such a quack, why should I suffer in vain?" Wanyan Lin sneered and slapped his hand on the edge of the bed.

Yinn Yue had the heart to say a few more words of persuasion, but seeing that Wanyan Lin was once again in high spirits, afraid that the poison in his body would spread even faster, he could only get up and leave. Wanyan Lin's disgusted look at her no longer needed words to explain.

Before he left Mental Cultivation Hall, he met Xuezhu, who had come to visit Wanyan Lin. Yinn Yue looked at Xuezhu with a complicated look and wanted to say something, but only sighed.

Even though she was the empress, she had been stripped of power and was not a monarch. Yinn Yue knew very well what he could do to survive and let her children live. Even if he had a delicate heart, he could only pretend not to know.
