Chapter 582: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 29

Three days later, everything was settled. All the Wujin people hiding in the city were captured, and the people returned to the city one after another. White flags were flying on every street, and the cries of sending off the dead were heard everywhere. Fortunately, Shanhaiguan was still there, and the place where they had lived for generations was still there.

After settling the affairs in the camp, Yuwen Yi took the captives to Jiayuguan, and Ji Yunhuan accompanied him.

Jiayuguan is more dangerous and more magnificent than Shanhaiguan, with better fortifications and more soldiers guarding the city. Jiayuguan is the leader among the dozen or so cities in the north.

With such a large-scale battle taking place, Jiayuguan had to be informed naturally.

The group was brought into a majestic mansion. Before they entered the hall, a tall man in an official robe came out to greet them. He quickly bowed to Yuwen Yi with great respect.

"Your Highness, Eighth Prince, how are you? I know I am late in coming to your rescue, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

"It has been foggy these days, and it is really hard to see the beacon fires. I have already punished the people who were on the beacon towers, and asked them to be more vigilant in the future and not miss the beacon fires of the cities again."

"The soldiers who had escaped death and made a detour to report the news were also killed along the way. I am deeply saddened and have sent people to collect their bodies. I will also pay out of my own pocket to provide compensation to their families."

"I wonder if Your Highness has sent out a carrier pigeon? Your Highness thought for a while, so he must have sent one, but it must have been shot dead on the way. I really didn't receive any news. Later, General Geng discovered that there was something unusual at Yixian Peak and led his troops to check it out. Only then did he discover that something had happened at Shanhaiguan."

"It's all the fault of the people below. There's no one living there all year round. It's cold and boring. They've been guarding it for months but nobody's passing through, and they can't make any achievements, so they've become lazy. I've already replaced a group of people guarding the First Line Peak, and this kind of thing won't happen again."

"It's an emergency, and I can't send more people. I'll let General Geng take the people to rescue you first. I wanted to go in person, but there are so many things to do in Jiayu Pass, and I can't do without you. Fortunately, His Highness the Eighth Prince is safe, otherwise I would be blamed for it!"

Yuwen Yi was filled with rage and was planning to come over to demand an explanation.

The cities in the northern border help each other. If one city is in trouble, all the cities will come to its aid. Otherwise, the entire northern border will fall. Jiayuguan is only half a day's journey away, but the reinforcements have not arrived yet, which is a serious dereliction of duty.

Shanhaiguan suffered heavy losses, with countless soldiers killed or wounded. If Ji Yunhuan had not given an advance warning, and if people from the martial arts world had not arrived in time, the death toll would have been even higher. How could he not be angry!

Seeing that Hu Anshan's face was full of guilt and he was about to kneel down, with many soldiers around watching, Yuwen Yi could only help him up first.

"General Hu, you are too serious. This happened suddenly, and General Hu cannot predict the future."

Hu Anshan stood up straight. He had a square face and was nearly forty years old, but still strong and sturdy. He also had an elegant air and was impeccable in the way he treated people. Not only was he highly respected in the army, he was also very popular in the court.

As soon as they met, he apologized and explained every aspect. If Yuwen Yi still refused to give in, it would seem that he was bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

Although he, as a prince, has no power, he is just holding the title of prince for nothing.

Hu Anshan immediately led Yuwen Yi to a seat, "Your Highness, please. Your Majesty has made great contributions in defending Shanhaiguan this time. As for how to deal with these prisoners, it is up to Your Highness to decide."

Yuwen Yi naturally wouldn't sit on it.

Hu Anshan used to be the right-hand man of Duke Ji and almost lost his life trying to save Duke Ji. Now he is a first-rank General of Cavalry, with the highest military rank and the most troops under his command.

He sat in the first seat below and said sternly, "General Hu, you don't have to be so polite. This is the army, not the capital, and I'm not a prince."

Hu Anshan immediately changed his tone, "General Yi is right, I am just too pedantic. Please take a seat, everyone. You are welcome."

Everyone took their seats according to their military ranks. On one side of the hall were Hu Anshan's confidants, including some third and fourth rank generals. On the other side were the people brought by Yuwen Yi, who were of lower rank.

Ji Yunhuan sat next to Yuwen Yi, and opposite him was a burly man with a full beard. He looked Ji Yunhuan up and down and said disdainfully: "General Yi is really in a good mood. This is a military camp, not everyone can come here. Why did you bring a woman in? It's ridiculous!"

Everyone looked over, and Ji Yunhuan said calmly, "General Cai is really surprised. Can't women go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? There is no law that says women can't go to the battlefield. How can it be absurd? We are all the same people, and we all have the same desire to defend our country."

Hu Anshan frowned as if he had just seen Ji Yunhuan and said, "That's true, but women are not as brave as men after all, and they would be a burden on the battlefield."

"It is rumored that General Yi is not interested in women. I think the rumor is untrue. It is a happy thing for General Yi to have a beautiful woman, but he cannot act recklessly. We have important matters to discuss today, so let her go for now."

Yuwen Yi said, "In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, General Ji killed hundreds of enemies and beheaded the enemy leader Wuerda at the city gate. She has made great achievements in battle. Now she is a fifth-rank Zhaowu General. Naturally, she can sit here and work with you all."

"It would be really absurd to kick her out just because she is a woman!"

Someone asked: "Her last name is Ji? Then she and Duke Ji..."

Ji Yunhuan did not hide it, "My father and my brother are all buried in Jiayuguan, so I wanted to come and see them, and also want to pay homage to the Changsheng Temple in Jiayuguan."

She originally wanted to secretly investigate what happened three years ago, but the North was about to become chaotic, and since her identity had already been revealed, there was no need to hide it.

Most of the generals in Jiayuguan were former subordinates of Duke Ji. After being surprised for a while, they accepted it calmly.

"It's true that a tiger father has a tiger daughter. The Duke's children are all good!"

"He is a filial man who even wanted to come to Jiayuguan to pay tribute to his father and brother. Although it is a cenotaph, I think the heroic spirit of the Duke must be here."

"What a coincidence! It happened to be when the Wujin people were causing trouble. Miss Ji can be said to have saved Shanhaiguan!"

"I heard that the Southwest Army has a female general, and His Majesty has praised her highly. We also have one in the North, and she is the descendant of the Duke. Very good! Very good!"

Many thoughts flashed through Hu Anshan's mind. These rough guys didn't know the inside story, but he was in close contact with the capital and was well-informed. He knew that Ji Yunhuan had divorced Prince Rui.

It was called a divorce, but in fact, she was divorced by Prince Rui. He thought Ji Yunhuan would stay in the Duke's Mansion obediently, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, and live out the rest of her life. As a divorced princess, could there be any other way out?

He never expected that Ji Yunhuan would actually come to the northern border and make military achievements. He had seen Ji Yunhuan once many years ago, and he looked sick, so he didn't recognize him at all.

Hu Anshan put on a happy look and praised repeatedly: "Great! Women are really as good as men. If the Duke knew about this, he would definitely be very pleased."
