If there wasn't someone guiding him, he doubted whether he could remember all the steps, not to mention there were so many people cheering.
Fortunately, apart from Old Man Yan who had gone into hiding, Wang Yue had the highest status in Youzhou. So, although everyone seemed to be having a great time, no one tried to get him drunk on purpose. After he dealt with some guests, he returned to the bridal chamber.
Among the three major events in life, the wedding night is of course the most beautiful one.
Although Wang Yue was a novice, Jiang Xuening was also very nervous at this time, and the two were almost the same.
Of course, it's not just the etiquette that is the same; even the tens of thousands of words that are omitted are almost the same.
……
Wang Yue got married smoothly, and the Dayue Kingdom felt that since Wang Yue had married the princess, he would most likely not submit to them. In addition, they knew that the Yan family no longer had the support of Daqian and Yan Mu was already dead, so they wanted to defeat the Yan family army and actually sent troops to the border of Youzhou.
The entire Dayue Kingdom wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of this thorn in their side and avenge the feud that had lasted for decades.
What they didn't expect was that their old enemy Yan Mu was still alive.
They thought they were facing Wang Yue, an inexperienced young general, but when the real fight started, they found that it was completely different from what they imagined.
The Yan army has just gained independence and needs a victory to stabilize people's hearts. No matter who they fight against, it will be the same. Fighting against the Dayue Kingdom will actually boost morale.
Although Yan Mu was only coordinating behind the scenes, he knew all the generals of Dayue very well and was able to defeat the invading enemy easily.
Of course, it was only a defeat, and the troops of Dayue Kingdom were not seriously damaged. However, it also let Dayue Kingdom know that the Yan Family Army was still the Yan Family Army, and they could not easily provoke it.
After the Youzhou army suffered a loss, the Dayue Kingdom immediately turned its guns around and gathered outside the Yanmen Pass, threatening to force Daqian to marry a princess to the kingdom as a marriage alliance. Of course, the dowry would also need to be more generous.
After this incident reached the capital, the capital was shaken. The empress dowager, who originally felt that she had tricked Wang Yue, suddenly felt that she might have shot herself in the foot.
You know, she has only one daughter, and Daqian also has only one princess. If Dayue Kingdom wants to marry a princess, then it can only be Princess Leyang who marries. No, it should be a marriage of peace!
Queen Mother Xue originally strongly disagreed, but Princess Leyang was already disheartened because she could not marry Wang Yue, so she agreed to the marriage.
The emperor didn't care about his sister's opinion. After discussing some conditions with the Dayue Kingdom, he sent a wedding procession.
Wang Yue and Jiang Xuening were newlyweds and hadn't even finished their honeymoon yet. When they heard the news, they were both shocked.
You know, the Yan army had just defeated the Dayue Kingdom, so how come Daqian wanted to marry the princess? It was simply unbelievable.
Even if Daqian doesn't marry the princess at this time, what can Dayue Kingdom do!
Moreover, since the princess had been prepared to marry, why didn't she marry Wang Yue last time, but gave her to the Dayue Kingdom this time?
Jiang Xue Ning remained silent after hearing the news. She thought about the time before her rebirth when Princess Leyang died less than two years after her marriage. She went to the grassland alone and was tortured to death by Emperor Dayue.
She was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to ask Wang Yue for help in grabbing the bride. After all, Wang Yue had enough reasons to do so.
Wang Yue knew nothing about the subsequent plot, but she felt that Jiang Xuening must know something. She looked at Jiang Xuening, but saw that Jiang Xuening seemed to be struggling with something.
So he asked doubtfully, "Ningning, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Xue Ning looked at Wang Yue's worried eyes and said hesitantly, "If the princess marries to Dayue Country, she will probably die."
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, and realized that Princess Leyang must have died before Jiang Xuening was reborn.
When he thought of the woman who loved him, he felt a little bit reluctant, not only because he was soft-hearted, but also because this was the first person who said she wanted to marry him since he grew up.
But he couldn't agree immediately. He had to send someone to inquire. He needed to wait for some news from the capital.
3928814.
Chapter 24: Kicking the bride is a technical job!
So Wang Yue pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Since ancient times, there have been many princesses who have married each other. The Great Yue Kingdom should not let Le Yang die there."
Jiang Xuening opened her mouth, but she didn't say what was in her heart. She was worried about Princess Leyang, but also inexplicably happy.
A few days later, Princess Leyang's wedding procession arrived at Taiyuan Prefecture, and would reach Dayue Kingdom in a few days.
Jiang Xuening, who was in the mansion of Duke Yan in Youzhou, suddenly received a letter. The person who delivered the letter was the eldest princess's closest personal maid.
Jiang Xue Ning was a little hesitant at first, as she really couldn't bear to see the eldest princess die in Dayue Kingdom, and this letter made her make up her mind.
She took the letter and went to the study to find Wang Yue, and said very seriously, "Ayue, please save the princess. She not only loves you, but also has a favor to me. She took good care of me when I was in the palace."
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment. He had just received news from the capital that Princess Leyang seemed to have become estranged from Empress Dowager Xue and the Emperor because of her two marriages. He was hesitating whether to go and rescue her, but he didn't expect Jiang Xuening to come to him.
He agreed without further hesitation. After all, they were already independent of Daqian, so it shouldn't be a big deal to snatch the bride.
He smiled and comforted her, "This matter has a lot to do with one thing, I need to discuss this matter with Dad, just don't worry."
Jiang Xuening thought that Wang Yue was willing to take the risk because of her, and she was even happy about it.
After hearing this, Yan Mu did not object. He felt that his son was a man of affection and righteousness. Since Princess Leyang had long wanted to marry Wang Yue, he would be a member of their Yan family.
How can someone from the Yan family marry someone from the Dayue Kingdom?
So, he asked Wang Yue to tell the army about this matter. After hearing it, the soldiers of the Yan family army clamored to help grab the bride.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Yan Mu immediately made a plan.
Wang Yue originally thought that kidnapping the bride was a simple matter. He just needed to send out spies to find the route, and then send out cavalry to kidnap the bride.
The result was beyond his expectations.
When Father Yan formulated the plan to kidnap the bride, he had no intention of going directly to kidnap the bride. Instead, he sent 50,000 cavalry infantry in two groups and headed straight for the Dayue Royal Court, which he had already inquired about.
Wang Yue listened to his father's arrangement and asked in confusion, "It's just to snatch a princess. Is it necessary to attack the royal court of Dai Viet?"
Yan Mu rarely saw his son asking for advice, so he quickly explained patiently, "The story between you and Princess Leyang must have spread to Dayue Country a long time ago. Since they dared to ask for a marriage, they must have calculated it correctly. You go back and grab the bride."
Wang Yue suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he suddenly woke up. He asked incredulously, "Dad, do you mean that this marriage may be a collaboration between the Great Yue Kingdom and the Dog Emperor to target us?"
Yan Mu sighed and said helplessly, "Maybe it's a tacit understanding. I won't talk about the emperor, but I don't believe Shen Lang has any good intentions.
As for Dayue Kingdom, our Yan family has been guarding Daqian Kingdom for decades and has long been a thorn in the side of Dayue Kingdom. Of course, they will try every means to get rid of us.
So, after I heard about the marriage, I sent spies into the grasslands and found many traces of tribal troop movements."
After Yan Mu finished speaking, he placed several flags on the sand table at several locations on the grassland in the northwest of Youzhou, and then said seriously, "According to my judgment, the Great Yue Kingdom is likely to prepare to attack our bride-stealing team at these locations. Therefore, I need to use 50,000 cavalry infantry to pretend to attack the royal court, so that the Great Yue Kingdom will not dare to surround and kill the bride-stealing team. It would be even better if we can attract the Great Yue troops here."
When Wang Yue heard this, he asked with some concern, "But, will the lives of the 50,000 soldiers who go deep into the grassland be in danger?"
Yan Mu shook his head and said seriously, "Don't worry. These 5 soldiers were originally sent to pretend to go to the royal court to attract the troops of Dayue. In addition to the cavalry and infantry, I have arranged soldiers to support these cavalry. I believe Dayue will be scared and forget about the possibility of robbing the bride."
Wang Yue saw that his father had already made preparations and would not be an outsider to influence an insider. He just planned to follow his father's plan and lead 10,000 cavalrymen from Youzhou into the grassland and head west along the Daqian border line.
The border troops of Daqian all have friendships with the Yan family. Even if they have not surrendered to the Yan family, they have no intention of leaving the city to intercept them.
What's more, marrying a princess to a foreign country would be a slap in the face to the soldiers at the border.
Not long after Princess Leyang's wedding procession entered the grassland, it connected with the welcoming procession of the Dayue Kingdom.
At this time, Wang Yue had just arrived fifty miles outside Yanmen Pass after a long journey and was not far from Dayue's wedding party. He let his soldiers rest for an hour before suddenly attacking the wedding party.
The cavalry of the Yan family army was very powerful. The wedding procession of Dayue Kingdom had just mixed with the wedding procession, and they were unable to form a battle line in a short time. They were easily defeated by Wang Yue's troops.
Wang Yue charged and killed several times in succession, and finally dispersed the wedding procession, leaving only the wedding party standing there in fear to protect Princess Leyang's carriage.
He ordered his men to chase the fleeing wedding procession, and he himself came to the carriage of Princess Leyang.
Princess Leyang did not expect Wang Yue to come. She came out of the carriage without waiting for Wang Yue to lift the curtain. She looked at Wang Yue in military uniform and said incoherently, "Actually, I wrote to you to say goodbye. I just didn't want you to come."
The reason why she said this was because the Yan Family Army was in an awkward situation now. Daqian simply could not accommodate the Yan Family Army. If the Yan Family Army offended Dayue again, it would be a dead end.
Of course Wang Yue knew this, but he also knew that Daqian was probably going to be in chaos. As for Dayue Kingdom, it would not be able to defeat the Yan Army without the whole country's strength.
He smiled and said comfortingly, "Since you have feelings for me, I can't let you suffer. But you can't ride in the carriage from now on. How about riding with me?"
After listening to Wang Yue's words, Le Yang nodded and said, "I'm fine. As long as you're by my side, I can do anything!"
These love words were spoken very naturally. Le Yang realized something was wrong after she finished speaking, but she still looked at Wang Yue with a blushing face, with no intention of lowering her head to avoid.
Wang Yue rode his horse to the front of the carriage, and after Princess Leyang came out, he hugged her around the waist and put her on his horse.
Although Princess Leyang had long been in love with Wang Yue, she had never thought of having close contact with Wang Yue so soon. She asked shyly, "I, I can ride a horse by myself."39288354.
Chapter 25 Attack on the Royal Court!
Wang Yue held Le Yang in his arms, and then said seriously, "I'm afraid the road back this time won't be safe. We have to hurry up and take a detour, so I have to inconvenience you for a while."
Princess Leyang immediately understood the danger of the return journey. Thinking of how much Wang Yue had sacrificed for her, she didn't care about being shy and said quickly, "No, no, I don't feel wronged. With you here, I don't feel wronged at all."
But she was a kind person. After she finished speaking, she noticed that everyone in the wedding procession was looking at her, so she pointed at the people in the procession.
"Yan Lin, what should we do with them? If they go back like this, they will probably die."
Wang Yue was well prepared, and said to Qingfeng who was following him, "Gather some horses from Dayue Country, and let those who can ride horses in the wedding procession ride them, and don't ride them and tie them to the horses. We can't stay here."
Qingfeng knew the seriousness of the matter. Yan Mu had also reminded him when he came. Now seeing that Wang Yue handled it very well, he did not say much and urged the soldiers to act quickly.
Princess Leyang felt relieved when she saw Wang Yue taking everyone away, knowing that no one would die because of her.
However, she was totally wrong to think so, as this marriage robbery was not destined to end so easily.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Yan army disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a mess and the wedding carriage.
The group traveled fifty miles to the northwest, and Qingfeng asked doubtfully, "Prince, should we turn around?"
Wang Yue shook his head and said seriously, "Compared to me, the Duke of Yan, I guess Dayue Kingdom wants to eat up the 50,000 cavalry infantry sent by father, so I guess the Dayue cavalry has already headed straight for the 50,000 troops."
After listening to Wang Yue's words, Qingfeng felt that what Wang Yue said made a lot of sense. If Dayue consumed 50,000 cavalry and infantry of the Yan Family Army, it would be very difficult for the Yan Family Army to recover.
He frowned and asked, "What should we do then?"
Wang Yue did not hesitate, took out the marching map and said, "I told my father when I came here that if there are no Dayue cavalry chasing us after we rob the bride, we will cross Yinshan Mountain and head straight to the royal court! I believe that in order to eat up our 5 Yan family troops in the grassland, Dayue Kingdom must have sent out at least 20 soldiers and horses, which can block the way of 5 Yan family troops, so the royal court must be very empty at this moment."
The map in his hand was drawn by You Fangyin herself before the bride was kidnapped.
When You Fangyin heard about the bride-kidnapping, she was even more excited than Wang Yue. She said that she once went on a road trip with her friends in Inner Mongolia and saw a cowhide map in the hands of a herdsman, so she bought it for her collection.
Seeing that Wang Yue was going to send troops this time, she originally wanted to join in the fun, but after being rejected, she drew a rough outline based on her memory and asked Wang Yue to refer to it.
Qingfeng frowned. He didn't expect this action to be so bold, so he said with some embarrassment, "But the Duke's safety is also very important. If something happens to the Duke, even if the 5 soldiers survive, they will regret it for the rest of their lives."
Wang Yue saw that Qingsong was so worried about him, so he comforted him, "I don't have to attack by force. When we get to the vicinity of the Dayue Royal Court, if we find that they are on guard, we can harass them and then turn around and leave immediately. What do you think?"
Seeing Wang Yue say this, Qingfeng reluctantly agreed. Anyway, they already had some spare horses, so they were not afraid of escaping.
For safety along the way, Wang Yue led 10,000 cavalrymen to attack more than a dozen large and small tribes, because these tribes did not expect that someone would come deep into the grassland to attack. Not only did Wang Yue rescue some Han slaves, but he also got a message from there that the royal court really gathered a large number of cavalry and went to the vicinity of Youzhou.
This news made Qingfeng unconsciously feel a sense of awe when he looked at Wang Yue, and he never questioned Wang Yue's command again.
Wang Yue did not deliberately hide his traces. Not only did he give these Han people weapons and horses, he also gathered together the young and strong men from those tribes. He did not give them weapons, but just asked them to follow the team.
After attacking more than a dozen tribes in succession, Wang Yue's 10,000 cavalrymen were reduced to nearly 20,000.
Among the other 1 troops, there were more than Han slaves and more than young and strong people from those tribes.
Most of these young and strong men were forced to take action when they attacked his other tribes, and they had no choice but to follow Wang Yue.
In addition, these people had always been bullied by tribal nobles, and they were accustomed to this grassland world where the strong prey on the weak.
When Wang Yue arrived at the grassland royal court, he did not find any good opportunities. Although the royal court was indeed empty, there were still 20,000 to 30,000 guards.
However, there were more than 5,000 grassland cavalry in Wang Yue's team. The guarding soldiers did not know that this was an attacking team. They thought that the search team had returned, and they were easily invaded by 20,000 cavalry.
After the Yan army led by Wang Yue rushed in, the guarding soldiers were unable to gather for a while. Although they also resisted, they only bought time for Emperor Dayue to escape.
Seeing that Emperor Dayue had escaped, Wang Yue simply ordered Qingfeng to lead a group of cavalry to pursue Emperor Dayue for more than a hundred miles before retreating back. He himself gathered the Han slaves in the imperial city, looted them, and when Qingfeng came back, he ran away with his men.
In fact, at this time, if Wang Yue wanted to survive, he should not attach importance to the money, so the looting of the capital of Dayue Kingdom was mainly done by the oppressed slaves.
The Yan family army only gave the surrendered Dayue cavalry and slaves an opportunity, but they could no longer put down their weapons.
The Yan family army only confiscated the palace and the families of noble officials because Wang Yue needed them as hostages to facilitate his safe return to Youzhou. However, the Dayue cavalry and slaves who surrendered were not polite and looted the entire Dayue royal court.
Those slaves who had been oppressed for a long time rebelled, but no one cared. Some of them even refused to follow the Yan army after getting weapons, and continued to burn, kill and loot in the capital of Dayue Kingdom. When Wang Yue left a hundred miles away, he could still see the Dayue royal court in flames.
However, these had nothing to do with Wang Yue. After leaving the capital, the Yan family army headed eastward without encountering any interception until they met the Yan family's cavalry, and then they knew what had happened.
It turned out that less than three days after Wang Yue and his cavalry left, the 50,000 scouts of the Yan Army who had entered the grassland discovered the cavalry of the Dayue Kingdom.
Fortunately, Yan Mu had been prepared and sent out 39288917 troops to support them. At the same time, the three guards of Duoyan sent out cavalry to harass them. The two armies fought for more than ten battles, with both sides winning and losing, and the situation became deadlocked. .
