The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

"Where are they now?" Emperor Likang thought for a while and asked.

"According to the marching speed, we should have entered Henan Road."

Emperor Likang frowned, "Where are General Pang and General Xiong?"

"General Pang is still stationed in Yangzhou, but General Xiong has returned."

"Let him come to see me."

"Yes!" Ji Xiang stood up.

"Guo Ziyi, what are you doing? Do you want the princess to call General Xiong?!"

Eunuch Guo was so frightened that he ran away, "Old slave, go and shout in person!"

Emperor Likang motioned Ji Xiang to sit down, "How many people can we mobilize now?"

"Excluding the surrender of the Zhendong Army, General Xiong has more than 7,000 people, and General Pang has 5,000. In addition, General Han Sanjin has more than 6,000."

"Xue Huaien and the soldiers guarding the city should number two to three thousand."

"The total number that can be mobilized in this way is only 20,000."

Emperor Likang shook his head slightly, "Twenty thousand is too little."

"The Zhendong Army is estimated to have more than 10,000 people." Jixiang added.

At this time, Xiong Er hurried in behind Eunuch Guo, and immediately saluted Emperor Likang.

"The general will pay homage to the emperor."

"General Xiong, you just came back from outside the city. Have you counted all the surrendered soldiers of the Zhendong Army?"

Xiong Er nodded, "Yes, there are more than 8,000 people willing to follow us and continue to fight the enemy."

Jixiang wondered, "Are there only more than 8,000 people left?"

"There are still more than 5,000 people who want to go home to see their wives, children, and parents before coming back. The rest received their travel expenses, took off their military uniforms, and went home to work in the fields."

"Don't force them. Come and stay if you want."

Xiong Er nodded.

"Incorporate all the Zhendong Army under the command of General Xiong," Emperor Likang suddenly said, "The name of the Zhendong Army should also be directly given to General Xiong."

Xiong Er was surprised. He could lead the army so quickly? !

This decision is in line with Jixiang's thoughts. After all, among those who can trust him, Xiong Er is currently ranked first, and no one dares to be ranked second.

She nodded to Xiong Er, indicating that he did not have to refuse the emperor's order.

"In addition, when the battlefield outside the city is cleared, let General Han lead his 6,000 men to garrison Yangzhou and bring General Pang and others back."

Emperor Li Kang then made arrangements.

"Yes." Jixiang responded.

"Leave the security of Jinling City to Situ Changqing. Jixiang, do you think there is anything wrong with my arrangement like this?"

"Father, there is nothing wrong with this. I have the same idea as my daughter-in-law."

Speaking of Situ Changqing, Emperor Li Kang had a smile on his face.

"Jixiang, thanks to you, I have another trustworthy person by my side."

"I feel a lot more at ease now that Situ Changqing can come back to me."

Ji Xiang smiled and said, "Father, my daughter-in-law has another idea. I wonder if father would be willing to listen to it?"

"Say it." Emperor Likang signaled.

"My daughter-in-law wants General Xiong and the others to take a break, and then head north to Yuzhou, using Yuzhou as the first line of defense in Jinling."

"You mean to ask General Xiong to stop Tian Muhuan and the others in Yuzhou and prevent them from continuing south?"

Ji Xiang nodded, "We can take this opportunity to recruit troops in Jinling and Yangzhou to replenish the supply of troops."

Emperor Likang pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered,

"General Xiong, according to what the princess said, after you rest, you will go north to capture Yuzhou!"

"Yes!" Xiong Er took the order and left.

At this time, Tian Muhuan, Kou Peilin and his party had already passed Gyeonggi Road and were heading towards Henan Road.

The army was huge and marched very slowly on the road.

Qi Xiaodi thought about returning to Jiyue Villa, so he rode up to Tian Muhuan's carriage.

"Prince, can you speed up the march?"

"At this rate, if we want to reach Fengyu County, it will probably be two months later."

"Two queens later, I dare not say whether the late Emperor is still there."

As soon as Qi Xiao finished speaking, he saw a soldier coming from the front on horseback.

Next to him, a war horse dragged a group of people who looked like a hundred people to follow.

"Prince, there is a situation!"

Qi Xiao was startled and turned to look at the carriage.

The carriage curtain moved slightly, one hand opened the curtain, and Tian Muhuan's voice came out, "What's the matter?"

The soldier turned over and dismounted, "The soldiers in front met a commoner. The commoner said that the late emperor's people had settled in Jinling and captured Yangzhou City."

The curtains of the carriage suddenly opened.

Tian Muhuan stuck his head out and asked, "Where is that person?"

The soldiers quickly pulled the civilian off the horse.

The people had already heard the soldiers calling the man in front of them the prince, and as soon as they got off their horses, they knelt down in front of Tian Muhuan.

"Little one, little one pays homage to the prince."

"Is what he just said true?!"

"The younger ones just listened to the comments in the public and didn't see it with their own eyes."

When Tian Muhuan heard this, he frowned and said, "Don't report unfounded things to me!" He lowered the curtain and hid in the carriage, and there was no movement again.

When the soldier saw that he was about to get into trouble, he turned around and glared at the people, "Didn't you say this is true?"

Qi Xiaodi was also worried that this was true, so he stepped forward and asked carefully, "Who did you hear that the late emperor and others had entered Jinling City?"

"A caravan selling seafood. They said they just passed through Jinling and saw the late emperor's men entering the city with their own eyes."

"Selling seafood?"

The people nodded desperately, "You are telling the truth, I don't dare to tell any lies."

The carriage curtain opened again, Tian Muhuan said coldly, "Are those transporting seafood from Fengyu County?"

"Yes, yes, the younger one even bought half a catty of dried shrimps from them to supplement calcium for my wife. My wife is just pregnant."

Tian Muhuan suddenly shouted, "Chief Qi, order the troops to speed up!"

"Whoever dares to delay without reason and affect the march of the army will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!" Qi roared and rode away to deliver military orders.

"The Crown Prince has ordered all teams to move forward quickly. If there is any unreasonable delay, they will be dealt with according to military law and beheaded on the spot!"

"The Crown Prince has ordered all teams to move forward quickly. If there is any unreasonable delay, they will be dealt with according to military law and beheaded on the spot!"

As the voice gradually faded away, Tian Muhuan's stern eyes turned cold.

Father, from now on, we, father and son, may have to fight against each other.
