First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 993: Become famous in one battle! (clear air episode)

Zhou Chongyue was stunned for a moment!

 This child... is actually from the Xuanyuan family!

Then it’s not surprising that I lost to him.

 No, it’s still weird.

 Firstly, this child is too young, he looks only 12 or 13 years old. Secondly, I haven’t heard that the Xuanyuan family has such a powerful young general?

 There is a reason for this.

 He has been staying in Zhaoguo before and only entered the Black Wind Camp this year.

Although he is a direct descendant of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Qi did not give him any special treatment. He started as the youngest cavalryman.

He was placed under Li Shen's command and has been following Li Shen's orders to charge into battle. This is the first time he has received command authority to lead troops to Cangzhou for support.

 So it is not surprising that Zhou Chongyue has not heard of him.

 In fact, not to mention Zhou Chongyue, even Guo Mang and others were stunned for a while.

Xuanyuan Qi was extremely harsh on his child. In order to prevent anyone from taking care of him secretly, he was not even allowed to use his real name. He was still called Qingkong in the military camp.

Today it was in order to scare these **** that he revealed his identity.

 It works really well.

Zhou Chongyue was stunned, and the other five thousand rebels were also stunned. For a while, no one dared to rush forward.

Zhou Chongyue dared to raise an army to rebel. After all, he had a tough mind. He quickly forced himself to recover from the shock.

He stared at the young man who held him hostage with a red tassel gun, gritted his teeth and said, "You lie! I have never heard of such a prominent figure in the Xuanyuan family! Do you think I will pretend to be someone from the Xuanyuan family?" Afraid of you?"

His words were sonorous, powerful and full of vitality. He was not only speaking to himself, but also re-energizing his own military morale.

As expected, after hearing this, the rebels gradually looked at the young man in silver armor on horseback with suspicion.

Zhou Chongyue struck while the iron was hot and snorted: "The Xuanyuan family was wiped out many years ago. Only Grand Marshal Xuanyuan Qi and his legitimate son Xuanyuan Zheng survived! Where did you come from, a wild boy?"

 Actually, he had heard that the eldest son of the Xuanyuan family had given birth to a child, but the child rarely showed up. There were many rumors about the child, especially when it spread to Cangzhou, the child itself became a rumor.

 At this time, once you defend yourself, no matter whether it is true or false, you will become a passive party.

Guo Mang looked worriedly at the young man in silver armor on horseback, worried that he would fall into Zhou Chongyue's provocation.

Unexpectedly, the young man was not led by Zhou Chongshan at all. He looked at his defeated general coldly and said arrogantly: "I give you two choices, one, surrender; two, suffer death. I count to three, you If you don’t answer, I’ll assume you chose the second path.”

"one."

"two."

Just when he was about to recite three words, Zhou Chongyue grabbed a handful of snow on the ground and threw it at Xuanyuan Xi!

Almost at the same moment, the master who was ambushing behind Xuanyuan Xi rose into the air, holding a scimitar in both hands, and sneaked towards Xuanyuan Xi without any explanation!

"Be careful!" Guo Mang was facing Xuanyuan Xi and clearly saw the sneak attack on Xuanyuan Xi's back. However, he was far away and injured, so he had no time to stop him.

Xuanyuan Xi’s lips curled up slightly: “Ah, what a small trick.”

His spear was like a dragon. He turned his head and stabbed back coldly without looking back, hitting the master in the heart!

As for the snow that Zhou Chongyue scattered, it was blown away by the war horse under the young man before it was even halfway spread!

Zhou Chongyue's tiger body trembled: Damn it! This horse can also blow snow!

"Three." Xuanyuan Xi finished counting and looked at Zhou Chongyue, who was confused, calmly, "It seems you have chosen the second path."

 It’s not...I...I...I haven’t even had time to say yet—

The gleaming spear fell, and the head of the rebel leader rolled to the feet of an archer.

 That archer was paralyzed with fear!

 Everyone shuddered!

 “Reply for General Zhou——”

I don't know who in the crowd shouted such a sentence, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, an attack horn sounded not far away, and countless horse hooves came one after another. One of the cavalry rushed at the front, carrying a gun on his shoulders. Hunting the flying eagle flag in the wind and snow.

 That is the handsome flag of the Xuanyuan family!

 The Xuanyuan family’s cavalry is really here!

This young man who killed Zhou Chongyue didn't lie!

 He is from the Xuanyuan family!

The leader died, and the court's reinforcements arrived again. The rebels were disheartened and their morale plummeted. I can't remember who was the first to escape. In short, before the Xuanyuan family's cavalry leveled the mountain, all the rebels were defeated. Fleeed in despair.

Guo Mang breathed a sigh of relief.

 Thank God, the Black Wind Rider came just in time.

He was about to witness the heroic appearance of the Black Wind Cavalry when, unexpectedly, he saw a familiar face.

The one carrying the handsome flag, yes, I’m talking about you!

 Aren’t you Erdan!

Erdan is a lieutenant under Guo Mang. His surname is Zhang Minghuan, and Erdan is his nickname.

Guo Mang rubbed his eyes and thought he had seen it wrong. At this time, all the cavalry who were shouting to charge into the battle galloped towards him.

However, he was completely stupid.

Where is the Xuanyuan family’s Black Wind Rider? It's just the remnants of the soldiers he left behind in the camp, okay?

 He turned his head and looked at Xuanyuan Xi blankly: "Sir, sir, what is going on?"

He didn't know Xuanyuan Xi's official position, but judging from his majestic appearance, he should be above him.

Xuanyuan Xi wiped the red tassel gun with a handkerchief and said calmly: "Oh, the person who lent it to you."

 “Where are your people?” Guo Mang asked.

 “It’s just me.” Xuanyuan Xi said.

Guo Mang staggered and almost fell down: "Wha, what do you mean you are the only one? Did the imperial court... only send you for reinforcements?"

"That's not true. We sent several of them, but they were all blocked by the heavy snow." Only he and Xiao Shiyi rushed over.

Guo Mang swallowed his saliva and asked bravely: "How many reinforcements did the imperial court send?"

 Xuanyuan Xi said: "Two hundred."

Guo Mang was dumbfounded: "Only, only two hundred? That's not enough! It would take ten or twenty thousand at least..."

Xuanyuan Xi took back his clean red-tasseled gun, gave him a strange look, and asked, "Why do we need ten or twenty thousand troops to **** grain and grass?"

Guo Mang was once again deeply shocked: "You...originally...were you just escorting grain and grass?"

Do those rebels know that they were tricked by a small cavalryman carrying grain and grass?

May I ask who you learned this bluffing skill from?

Guo Mang suddenly thought of a crucial question: "Would your Xuanyuan family's identity be the same..."

Xuanyuan Xi said: "My identity is true. I am indeed a member of the Xuanyuan family."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the remaining soldiers standing by, frowning and saying, "What are you still doing? Grab it!"

Guo Mang: “…”

 Under the leadership of Xuanyuan Xi, the remnant soldiers in Cangzhou robbed all the rebel camps, leaving not a grain of rice or a thread for the rebels.

This night, the Cangzhou army, which had been hungry for many days, finally had a full meal.

 …

Although Zhou Chongyue died, his son was still there, as were the 20,000 rebel troops.

The weather is still bad and Yunzhou's reinforcements cannot arrive. Cangzhou's army only has more than 3,000 troops left, and only 2,000 can fight.

 Guo Mang's opinion is to keep it.

"We grabbed some food and grass and will hold on until the Yunzhou Army comes over."

 Xuanyuan Xi did not agree with this approach.

 First, we don’t know how bad the weather will be, and we will eventually run out of food and grass.

Second, there are too many wounded soldiers. The city must be recaptured as soon as possible and the wounded soldiers can enter the city for treatment.

He said seriously: "For a passionate soldier, the saddest thing is not to die on the battlefield, but to die of illness in the barracks."

Guo Mang was stunned.

 He had no idea that such a thing could come out of the mouth of a twelve or thirteen year old boy.

 Has he... also experienced death and pain?

Otherwise, how could you feel this way?

　　　I would rather die in battle than die of illness!

 Finally, Guo Mang agreed to Xuanyuan Xi's plan.

Three days later, Xuanyuan Xi led two thousand Cangzhou troops to launch an attack on the right wing of the rebels.

The rebels had never seen the real Black Wind Cavalry, but Xuanyuan Xi's reputation had spread, and with the Xuanyuan family's handsome flag, all the rebels thought it was Xuanyuan Iron Cavalry who came to attack them.

The morale of the rebels was low. Xuanyuan Xi made an effort and led the Cangzhou army directly to the general's camp, and actually dispersed the 20,000-strong army!

Xuanyuan Xi first captured the smallest number of troops and pursued them, leaving the rebels unable to fight back.

 An hour later, Xuanyuan Xi beheaded Zhou Chongyue's youngest son Zhou Fengdong.

Three days later, Xuanyuan Xi captured Zhou Chongyue's third son, Zhou Fengqiu, alive.

On the seventh day, Xuanyuan Xi seriously injured Zhou Chongyue's second son Zhou Fengxia.

It was night, and Zhou Chongyue's eldest son Zhou Fengchun came out of the city to surrender.

 In just seven days, 2,000 troops defeated Zhou Chongyue's 20,000 rebels, ending the year-long civil strife in the southwest.

 Xuanyuan Xi can be said to have become famous in one battle!

 Shangguan Yan was overjoyed after receiving the good news from the southwest. Without waiting for Xuanyuan Xi to return to the court, he directly issued an imperial edict to the whole world, canonizing Xuanyuan Xi as the first champion prince in the history of Yan Kingdom.

The thirteen-year-old Marquis Wu is unique among the six countries!

I’ll go back and see Jiaojiao in the next chapter~

　　guess whether Jiaojiao and Ah Heng have a second child?
