This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 721 Into History
"Wen Ruyan lay in ambush on the octagonal slope in advance. After our army came in, he first injured our army with rolling stones, and then swooped down with ten thousand soldiers to disrupt our formation. , and sent thousands of troops to the front to make a garrison, forcing Qin Huan to lead the army into the dense forest, and finally Wen Ruyan burned the dense forest with a radius of seven or eight miles into an open space, and the soldiers were buried in the sea of ​​flames Not less than [-], Han Qi who came from Jinling swept across the dense forest, and more than half of the soldiers who fled the flames in panic were captured."

"Your Majesty, in this battle, out of our [-] soldiers, no less than [-] were sacrificed, and more than [-] soldiers were captured. Only less than [-] of them escaped successfully."

Sima Zongheng told Mu Xiqiu the battle report with his back turned to him with a livid face.

He did not expect that the [-] army would be defeated so thoroughly. His Majesty conveyed the retreat order quickly enough, but they were still ambushed on Bajiaopo.

Up to now, Sima Zongheng has completely put away his contempt for Wen Ruyan. Before Shen Yaochen said that Wen Ruyan was extraordinary, and now His Majesty regards him as a serious threat. Sima Zongheng still feels that they are a little too cautious, but The battle at Bajiaopo completely made him understand why the two most important people in Nanchu would be so afraid of an ordinary prince!
Sima Zongheng used to think that it was enough for His Majesty to have such a monster in this world, but he didn't expect that such a monster would appear in Da Zhou at about the same time.

Could it be that Da Zhou and Nan Chu were destined to live forever in the hands of these two people?
Mu Xiqiu, who had his back to Sima Zongheng, was silent for a long time, and then asked calmly, "Where is Qin Huan?"

"With the general situation over, Qin Huan drew his sword and killed himself." Sima Zongheng said with a hint of regret in his tone.

Qin Huan is one of his generals, he has followed him for many years, and now he has left his life in Dazhou, how can he not feel sorry?

"It's fine to die." Mu Xiqiu turned around, without the slightest expression on his face, and continued: "Instead of fleeing back and being killed by me, it's better to die by myself, so as to preserve my reputation behind."

Sima Zongheng didn't like Mu Xiqiu's indifference towards the sacrificed general, so he immediately said, "Your Majesty, he was just ambushed."

Mu Xiqiu sneered, and looked up into Sima Zongheng's eyes: "As the commander of an army, how could he fail to see that the octagonal slope is an excellent ambush site? According to what you said before, he was entering the octagonal slope. Poe had already sensed the abnormality before, so why didn’t he send a small army in to investigate first? Just sent a personal soldier? What can one person see in a place as big as Bajiaopo? The [-] army destroyed everything. In his hands alone, shouldn't he be killed?"

Sima Zongheng was at a loss for words, he didn't know what to say.

Mu Xiqiu ignored him, squeezed the wine glass placed on the side in his hand and shook it gently a few times, watching the sake roll back and forth, a figure of Wen Ruyan slowly appeared in his mind, as if looking at him Said: "I just burned Yangzhou into an empty city with a fire, and you burned my [-] army with a fire in a blink of an eye. You really don't suffer at all!"

As soon as the words fell, his fingertips exerted force, and the wine glass shattered in his hand.

The index finger was cut open, and the blood that flowed out immediately stained the fragments in his hand red.

"Your Majesty!" Sima Zongheng's tone suddenly became much higher.

Mu Xiqiu shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's okay, this wound can be regarded as my punishment, and it also reminds me not to get carried away with complacency."

At this time, Sima Zongheng realized that His Majesty's mood at the moment was not as calm as he had shown.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Should we continue to attack Pingyang Pass while Yang Zhong is now notorious?"

Mu Xiqiu shook his head slightly, and said: "This matter still needs time to ferment, let the army rest for a while, the battle at Bajiaopo also caused the morale of our soldiers to drop a lot, let them also take it easy .”

Sima Zongheng nodded. In fact, what he thought was the same as what Mu Xiqiu thought. However, even though he was the commander-in-chief of the first army, he could only give suggestions, and he couldn't be the one who actually gave orders.

"Then what is your majesty's plan for the future? With our current strength, even if we can conquer Pingyang Pass, there is not much strength left. If your majesty has other ideas, you may wish to tell me. Although I have no other skills, I have to fight for a while. There are some insights along the way."

When Sima Zongheng said this again, he put on a low-key attitude. There was no way he could understand who he was today. No matter where he was, the power must always be in his own hands. At other times, it was okay to say, But at the time of the war, Sima Zongheng still didn't want him to act arbitrarily.

After all, no one is perfect, no matter how clever today's methods are, there will always be times when a hundred secrets are missing, and the meaning of my existence is to help him make up for this loophole.

Sima Zongheng worried that what he said would cause Mu Xiqiu's dissatisfaction, so he lowered his posture to such a low level.

Mu Xiqiu laughed when he heard him speak in such a tone, tapped him a few times, and then said directly: "My plan is, just wait!"

"What?" Sima Zongheng was immediately confused by his nonsensical words.

Mu Xiqiu looked down at the sand table in front of him, and said with a light smile, "Who said Pingyang Pass is my goal?"

Jinling City.

As soon as the army returned to the city triumphantly, Gao Yun sent people to send the results of the Battle of Bajiaopo to Pingyang Pass and Yanjing City respectively. Now he is so excited that he is going crazy.

To be honest, although he had admired Wen Ruyan for a long time, he never thought that Wen Ruyan would bring him such a big surprise!

Against an army of [-] with [-] troops, they killed the opponent like that!Although there have been many battles in which less has won more in the past and present, but when this kind of thing actually happened in front of my eyes, I can truly appreciate how shocking it is.

When he and Han Qi rushed over, the Southern Chu army was completely defeated, and the Jinling City army only played the role of a raiding formation to capture prisoners. Nearly 6 Chu troops died under Wen Ruyan's command. In his hands, and what is the most important thing, the most important thing is that he only lost three or four thousand troops!

Such a record is enough to be recorded in history!

Wen Ruyan's reputation is destined to be passed down through the ages because of this battle!
Every time Gao Yun thinks of this place, there will always be a little impulse in Gao Yun's heart. What's so good about being the governor of Jinling?Although he is a great official of the frontier, who will remember his name after a hundred years?
Yan Guo left his voice and people left his name, who doesn't want his name to be sung by later generations.

Gao Yun has been thinking about it, why don't he just follow Wen Ruyan's side, and he will be able to enjoy the glory by making great contributions, and when the history writes about him, he may bring himself in. .

Gao Yun felt that his idea was very good. After all, his wife was Ye Linxue's biological aunt. With such a relationship, how could His Highness Prince Jing treat him badly?

Gao Yun thinks his idea is very good.
After entering the city, Deputy Marshal Han Qi dismounted straight away, and bowed directly to Wen Ruyan in front of the army.

"His Royal Highness uses soldiers like a god, and I am ashamed!"
