I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 473 The scolding battle before the decisive battle
Xia Houyuan defeated Jiang Boyang and returned with a great victory.

"Fan Li, did we win?!" Xiang Ning was surprised.

But when she saw Fan Li's face was solemn and showed no joy of victory, she immediately became quiet again.

"...A small victory has little impact on the overall situation, right?" Xiang Ning asked softly and tentatively.

Fan Li nodded and admitted.

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty suffered nearly 10,000 losses, and the coalition forces also suffered more than 3,000 losses.

In terms of the total number of armies on both sides, it actually has little impact.

Just winning the first battle is barely good news.

Military morale?

Morale?

There are 800,000 soldiers in the coalition, and all the soldiers know that they are about to face the best in the world.

Can a small victory overcome the fear in their hearts?
"Ahhh!"

suddenly!

The Ming army camp on the other side of the river let out bursts of screams.

Immediately afterwards, nearly a thousand heads were thrown out.

"Why kill people?" Xiang Ning asked in shock.

"Because..." Fan Li's expression was a little stiff. "Those who shrink from battle and violate military law will die."

Xiang Ning's face turned pale instantly!
She is an emperor, and she can take life or death with just one word.

But since taking the throne, Xiang Ning has never killed anyone.

"Congratulations to Emperor Wei for his victory in the first battle. General Xiahou is worthy of being a powerful general of Wei." Sun Quan said with a smile.

"Congratulations to Emperor Wei." Fan Li and Xiang Ning also echoed.

Cao Cao nodded, with no pride or joy on his face.

In fact, apart from Xiang Ning, the other three men present knew this very well.

In the first trial, winning or losing is not important.

However, in order to boost morale, Cao Cao directly sent famous Wei generals to fight, but his mentality was not as calm as Emperor Jiajing's.

Even if Xia Houyuan was defeated and returned, Cao Cao would never behead the defeated soldiers who fled back like Emperor Jiajing did in order to clarify the military law.

Quietly, Xiang Ning pulled Fan Li aside.

"Will there be many more tentative attacks like this?"

"I'm afraid...it's gone."

Hearing what Fan Li said, Xiang Ning immediately looked panicked.

But she clenched her pink fists tightly and tried to calm herself down.

"I'm useless, right?" Xiang Ning bit her thin lips with silver teeth, a look of guilt written all over her pretty face. "The decisive battle is about to begin, but I am timid and cowardly. I even... even want to return to Pengcheng. I am ashamed of my ancestors."

Fan Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood.

When you first come to the battlefield, how can you not be afraid?

A man might be so scared that he wets his pants, let alone Xiang Ning, who has lived in the palace since childhood and was raised in fine clothes and fine food?

However, just because she dares to admit her fear and perseveres until now, she can be called a woman!

"His Majesty."

"Ok?"

"Actually, I am also very scared."

Fan Li smiled and took Xiang Ning's small hands regardless of the etiquette between men and women.

"Really?"

Xiang Ning opened his dark round eyes, a little surprised and a little happy.

"real."

Fan Li nodded.

"However, as long as I think that behind me is the whole territory of Chu, and is His Majesty, I must stand firmly here."

"Fan Li..."

Xiang Ning was excited and threw herself into the man's arms.

She had forgotten, however, that besides herself and Fan Li, there were two emperors in the Chinese army's tent.

"Hehehe." Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's good to be young."

Sun Quan even smiled evilly at the side and said: "Everyone in the world says that King Jin is a traitor. Who knew that the relationship between Emperor Chu and King Jin was so... um... cordial?"

The two people hugging each other blushed instantly! Xiang Ning even wanted to break free from the man's arms!
However, her slim waist was hugged tightly.

"We are all our own people, there is no need to hide them."

Fan Li simply became frank, regardless of whether Xiang Ning agreed or not.

"Speaking of which, your Majesty's waist is so thin. No wonder the ancients said that the King of Chu had such a thin waist..."

This nonsense made Xiang Ning laugh.

“Thankfully, you are also the headmaster of Luming Academy, and you don’t even know if you’ve made a mistake in your studies?”

"The allusion to King Chu's love for his thin waist. The word 'hao' means liking or favoring."

Xiang Ning was very proud of this rare opportunity to correct Fan Li's mistakes.

She didn't realize that because she was distracted, Fan Li held her waist longer.

"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

With a long trumpet sound, another change occurred in front of the two armies.

On the other side of the river, the sound of Lang Lang reading could be heard.

"I am an imperial concubine who is five of forty years old. I respect Heaven and cultivate my body. I can't sleep on a bed. I don't eat with any taste. I don't take more than eight sets of food. I avoid living in thousands of mansions in the Forbidden City. I wonder if there are still people in the world who don't stand upright... …”

This seems to be the tone of Emperor Jiajing, but it is recited by thousands or tens of thousands of people!
Fan Li and others looked at the Ming army camp on the other side of the river, and saw a green light rising into the sky!

"What's going on?!" Xiang Ning said in shock: "Haoranqi? There are many Confucian cultivators in the Ming army? What are they doing?"

Fan Li was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said: "This is the Confucianism cultivator's 'Words are followed by Dharma', which can rectify the military's morale, drive away evil thoughts, and boost morale..."

It's really going to be a decisive battle.

But before the decisive battle, Emperor Jiajing didn't forget to add BUFF to his 600,000-strong army?

Fan Li was not afraid of the blessing effects of the Ming Dynasty Confucianism Cultivators, and even felt a little contempt in his heart.

How many classic teachings are there in the world?
Instead of reciting Emperor Jiajing's self-proclaimed "famous quotes"?
"It's our turn." Cao Cao said with a smile: "Is the Ming Dynasty the only one in the world with Confucianism? When did the culture of our alliance with the Three Kingdoms become weaker than that of the Ming Dynasty?"

Sun Quan put his hands on his hands and laughed: "The Emperor of Wei is a master of the Yuefu, and today I am able to see Emperor Wei's literary talents."

"This article is called "The White Horse"."

"It was not created by me, but written by my beloved son Cao Zhi. Please listen carefully to Duke Jin, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Chu."

Outside the big tent, thousands of Confucian cultivators have already gathered.

Cao Cao gave an order, and all the Confucian monks began to recite:
"The white horse is adorned with golden fetters, galloping northwest. May I ask whose son you are? You are a knight-errant."

"When I was young, I went to the countryside and raised my voice in the desert. In the past, I had a good bow, but the arrows were so uneven! The one who controlled the string broke the left, and the right hair destroyed the moon branch. He raised his hand to catch the flying scorpion, and leaned down to scatter the horse's hooves. He was more cunning than the monkey. An ape is as brave as a leopard and a chi."

"There are many policemen in the border towns, and many captives and cavalry are migrating. Yu Xi comes from the north and mounts the high embankment with force. He drives past the Xiongnu, and Gu Ling Xianbei is on his left. Is it safe to abandon one's body at the edge of the edge?"

"If you don't care about your parents, how can you talk about your children and your wives? When you compile a list of strong men, you are not allowed to care about personal interests. You sacrifice your life to go to the national disaster, and treat death as if you are home."

Every time the Confucian cultivators recited a sentence, a majestic green energy rushed up to Yunxiao.

There were bursts of brilliance falling like mist, clinging to the weapons and armor of the coalition soldiers.

"Good!" Sun Quan cheered loudly: "What a sentence, 'sacrifice one's life to go to the national disaster, and see one's death as if it were a return home'. This article is so talented that it can be passed down to future generations!"

Xiang Ning's pretty face flushed with excitement, obviously inspired by the article!
Only Fan Li was the calmest. After all, he had recited "The White Horse" by heart before traveling through time.

suddenly!

Fan Li thought of something and said loudly: "Bring a pen and paper! I also have an article, which must be read in front of the battle for everyone to hear!"

Immediately, there was a clerk waiting in the army, bringing paper and pen to write the case.

Everyone was curious, but Fan Li didn't explain, and just went straight to the drawing board.

The article is ready in one swipe!

Cao Cao read the ten lines at a glance, and his expression was indescribably wonderful.

"Preach my will, read it!"

Fan Li's article was immediately delivered to the Confucian scholars, and the sound of reading aloud rang out, and it quickly spread to the other side of the river, to the Ming army camp!
"The king is the lord of the subjects and all things in the world. But he is the lord of the subjects and all things in the world, and his responsibility is the most important."

"Emperor Jiajing's love has not lasted long, and his delusions have led him away... He has been tired of government affairs for more than ten years. His name is Xuanxiu, and he governs secretly."

"Use a strict party externally, and use eunuchs internally."

"Dedicated to plundering the people's wealth in the world."

"Strictly implement the rule of one king alone, treat the cabinet as servants, and treat hundreds of officials as enemies."

"Authorize the eunuchs and use domestic slaves to rule the world!"

"Regard the whole world as the private property of the Zhu family!"

"Because Your Majesty changed the name of the Yuan Dynasty, the world assumed that it was Jiajing Jiajing, and every family was clean and had no money to use."

"No one in the world is worthy of your majesty!"
