   Chapter 403 Victory

   The sight in front of him shocked the soldiers of the Great Wei who came to reinforce them.

  I don't know how many tents were burned behind the barracks. The fire didn't mean to stop, and it was still spreading. The fire was blazing into the sky, the smoke was billowing, and the soldiers of the Yan army shouted like crazy, slashing at each other with weapons. There were corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed.

  Experienced veterans knew at a glance that the Yan army was making a noise.

   Yan Bing at this time, like a group of lunatics, has no reason at all.

   rushing over like this is tantamount to giving up death in vain.

  Lieutenant General Liu reacted very quickly, immediately dismounted, and led a group of soldiers to the position of the Chinese army tent.

   This was also what General Liang had told before coming here. No matter what, we must ensure the safety of the Crown Princess.

   That's right, Lieutenant General Liu didn't know that the person leading the troops to assassinate Yantuo was the Crown Princess. King Xingyang was famous, and Crown Princess Lu Mingyu was equally famous. Even Lieutenant General Liu, who was in the barracks, had heard of the crown princess's reputation for being incomparably powerful.

  However, the Crown Princess is a female class after all, and no matter how good her skills are, she has never led soldiers to fight. Leading troops into the barracks to assassinate the main general, how dangerous is this, how can the Crown Princess take this risk?

  Lieutenant General Liu became more frightened the more he thought about it, and led the soldiers forward all the way, not daring to delay for a moment.

  The Yan army was in chaos, and most of the Yan army was concentrated in the rear of the barracks. Although there were many Yan soldiers along the way, they were no match for the grief-stricken Wei soldiers.

The group of    was like a broken bamboo, and quickly rushed to the outside of the Chinese army tent.

   Deputy Liu glanced at him.

   A bunch of swaying figures, it is not clear who is who. You can only tell by the difference in clothes.

   A group of Yan soldiers surrounded the military tent, and hundreds of people in black were all wounded and resisted. It was almost unbearable to see.

  Lieutenant General Liu's heart sank, and then he relaxed again. Black clothes are fighting to the death and defending the military tent. It can be seen that the crown princess must be hiding in the military tent. And Yan Tuo must have died at the hands of the Crown Princess. Otherwise, the Yan soldiers would not have collapsed to this point.

  Lieutenant General Liu raised his sword and shouted, "My sons, follow me!"

   There was no need for Vice-General Liu to shout, the soldiers of the Great Wei had already waved their weapons and rushed over. The hatred and anger that had been simmering for a few days, all tilted out.

   The Yan soldiers, who had the upper hand, were slashed and killed countless times by the soldiers rushing behind them. After just a few face-to-face encounters, they were defeated.

  The Yan soldiers had to turn around and fight the Great Wei soldiers.

   The Lu clan's dark guards, who were exhausted and supported by their will, were finally able to catch their breath. However, they did not put down their weapons and continued to guard outside the tent in silence.

   The screams of killing outside the military tent reached Lu Mingyu's ears.

  Lu Mingyu's eyes lit up suddenly and stood up: "It's reinforcements coming!"

The dark guards around    all looked happy.

   The reinforcements finally arrived. Otherwise, within half an hour, the Yan army will be able to rush into the army tent. No matter how fierce they were, they couldn't stop so many Yan soldiers.

  Fortunately fortunately!

   "Master's arm is guarding the wound, don't move for now." The dark guard who bandaged Lu Mingyu's wound whispered: "The reinforcements have arrived, and there will be a fierce battle next. Please take care of yourself, master."

   Yan Tuo is dead.

  The Yan army lost its main commander, the food and grass were burned, and the camp was roaring again. The rout is a matter of time. The most important thing now is that Lu Mingyu must be safe.

  Lu Mingyu rarely did not try to be brave, glanced at the concerned eyes of the dark guards, and nodded.

  …

  At dawn, the army leader of Yan passed the news of the massacre in the army camp to the court.

  Qiaoge Lao Yang Shangshu and others breathed a sigh of relief, and they were relieved and happy.

  These Yan soldiers, without their home and country, are like wild dogs that have left home. There is no root for evil. Yan Tuo was the backbone that supported them. Once Yan Tuo died, the Yan Bing army was dissipated.

   "General Liang has sent the defenders out of the city."

   "General Liang also issued a military order, and the soldiers at the other three city gates were also called to Zhengdemen. It seems that they want to take this opportunity to defeat the Yan army in one fell swoop."

   "This battle, the first credit should go to the Crown Princess!"

  Old Qiao Ge, who has been seeing Lu Mingyu not so pleasing to the eye, also praised happily: "Prince Concubine is very skilled, wise and brave, to have such a prince concubine is my great blessing!"

   All the ministers were amused, and silently murmured in their hearts.

   Now praise the princess for being good everywhere.

   Old Qiao Ge didn't say that before.

   However, the victory has been decided, and everyone is happy. No one said anything about defending the city gate before. If you can beat Yan Bing, why hesitate, go out of the city to fight! It is best to defeat the Yan soldiers in one fell swoop, and do it once and for all.

   Qiao Ge said with a smile: "I'll go to see the Empress and tell the good news to the Empress!"

   Yang Shangshu naturally took over the words: "Just ask the Fifth Prince to come down."

etc!

   What about the Fifth Prince?

   All the ministers looked at each other, only to realize that the fifth prince Li Chang, who was standing silently on the sidelines on weekdays, did not come today at all.

   "There shouldn't be anything wrong in the palace!" Qiao Ge felt a little bad in his heart, and glanced at Luo Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites. Luo Shangshu is also the prince's master and can enter and leave the East Palace.

  Luo Shangshu and Qiao Ge Lao looked at each other and said, "This minister and Ge Lao will go to see the Empress."

  …

   Something happened in the harem!

   Qiao Ge Lao and Luo Shangshu went to Jiaofang Hall first, but they were all in vain. Hearing that Queen Qiao has been in the East Palace, the two old ministers became more and more uneasy.

   The two of them immediately went to the East Palace.

   As soon as we entered the East Palace, a tense and dignified atmosphere came over us.

  The officials of the Eastern Palace are on duty every day. Like Qiao Ge Lao and Luo Shangshu, they come and go every few days. Every day, it is Zhou Lifangzi Zhan and others.

   "Xiaguan has seen Elder Ge and Lord Shang Shu." Fang Zi Zhan Zhouli, Zhao Rui and Li Yan came forward to salute together.

   Old Qiao Ge said solemnly: "Be flat, no ceremony. What happened in the East Palace?"

   Fang Zizhan frowned and replied, "I came to the East Palace early in the morning, only to know that the Empress and Empress Dowager are both in the East Palace, and a group of imperial physicians were also called into the East Palace. For what reason, I don't know."

   Zhou Li quickly took over the words: "The following officials think that someone must be making trouble in the East Palace. Otherwise, it will not be such a battle."

  The East Palace is in chaos?

   Old Qiao Ge's heart sank again, and he opened his mouth and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go and see the Empress."

   Others asked to see, but they were all turned away. Qiao Ge entered the East Palace in person, and Queen Qiao always wanted to see him.

  Elder Qiao was led into the inner hall by the palace servants, and then saw Queen Qiao being helped in. When Qiao Ge Lao saw Queen Qiao's gloomy and haggard face, he was shocked: "What happened, why is the empress' face so ugly?"

   Queen Qiao had tears in her eyes and whispered, "It's something happened to Brother Jue!"

  The old face of Qiao Ge changed instantly, and his voice became tight: "What's going on? Who dares to attack Brother Jue? How is Brother Jue now?"
