The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

While Su Fengyi was having a secret conversation with the emperor, the second urgent report from Xuanfu was delivered to the cabinet.

The content of the urgent report means only one thing: It is not that we are incompetent, but the northern barbarians are too ferocious and we can't hold on any longer. We request the emperor to send people to rescue us as soon as possible!

Now that the little prince of the Northern Tartars had made his decision, he changed his hesitant and tentative tactics from the previous times, and now he showed his fangs and sent his entire army forward, naturally acting extremely brutally.

The current Xuanfu General Sun had never fought in a war. When he climbed up the city wall and saw the overwhelming troops outside the city and the ferocity and brutality of the Northern Tartar cavalry, he was scared to death.

This kind of fighting style means both sides are risking their lives, and the only thing they can do is to see who can't bear it first.

While the soldiers of Xuanfu were still fighting desperately, Lord Sun, the general of Xuanfu, was already thinking about how to escape.

Lord Sun was a noble man who valued his life very much. He was frightened by the scene of war. He trembled and went down the city wall. He ran back to the general's mansion, gathered his family and valuables, and ordered his personal guards. He ignored everything and just wanted to escape.

Then Lord Sun was blocked at the door by General Yan, the garrison commander of Xinghe.

General Yan was an old subordinate of General Shen. After receiving General Shen's secret letter, he evacuated all the people and supplies in Xinghe to Xuanfu.

General Yan knew very well that Lord Sun could not fight, so he did not expect Lord Sun to be of any help. It would be good enough if he did not make things worse.

General Yan has always enjoyed great prestige in the Xuanfu border army. In the past few days, when it comes to gathering soldiers, counting supplies, and arranging city defense, Lord Sun knows nothing about anything. In fact, all of this was done by General Yan himself.

The more General Yan worked on it, the angrier he became. Lord Sun had only been in office for a few months, but he had already destroyed all the capital that the Shen family had accumulated over decades of guarding the border for three generations.

The original 50,000 Xuanfu soldiers were real 50,000 soldiers. Under the rule of General Shen, there would be no room for false reporting of numbers to receive more military pay.

As a result, after Lord Sun used his three tricks of withholding military pay, openly selling official positions, and killing innocent people to claim credit, some mutinied, some fled the camp, and the original 50,000 soldiers were reduced to less than 40,000.

Although there were more than 10,000 missing soldiers, Lord Sun not only did not think there was anything wrong, he even complacently put the salaries of these fictitious 10,000 soldiers into his own pocket.

Then there was military rations. Xuanfu was one of the nine important border towns, and the Shen family originally attached great importance to military rations and stockpiled at least a year's worth of food.

What we are afraid of is that if something unexpected happens and the isolated city is surrounded, as long as there is enough food, we can outlast the enemy.

As a result, after General Yan inspected the granary, he was so angry that he wanted to chop Lord Sun to death on the spot.

Lord Sun actually resold military rations in secret, and almost all the military granaries were sold out by Lord Sun.

General Yan had to endure the situation without people and food. As long as he could hold on for a few days and wait for General Shen to return, the crisis in Xuanfu would be resolved.

But he really didn't expect that there would be such a shameless person in this world. As the general and the current commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, he actually abandoned his soldiers and ran away in the middle of the battle!

I am not afraid of opponents who are like wolves, but I am afraid of teammates who are like pigs. Once the news of the general's escape spreads, the soldiers will surely think that they have been defeated and will also flee. Then, there will be no need for the little prince of the Northern Tartar to attack Xuanfu, as it can be conquered by itself.

If the battle situation was not at a stalemate and General Yan was worried about shaking the morale of the troops, he would have wanted to chop off Lord Sun on the spot.

General Yan knew what kind of person Lord Sun was, so he didn't try to reason with him. He just said:

"Either you follow me up to the city wall, or I hammer you to death now. Your choice."

Lord Sun was timid but still shouting:

"How dare you! I am your superior, how dare you kill me! If you kill me, you will not survive either!"

General Yan sneered and swung the hammer in his hand:

"If I can't survive, then I can't survive. I am a soldier who has fought in battles. I have always had my head on my belt. How can I be afraid of death?!"

Lord Sun immediately became timid. General Yan was not afraid of death. He was very afraid of death.

How can a person who is afraid of death win when encountering a person who doesn't care about life?

Lord Sun followed General Yan up the city wall crying, still unwilling to give up:

"Then I can send my advisor to write an urgent report, right? To urge for reinforcements, right?"

General Yan thought, Xuanfu is in a state of emergency and the country is in crisis, maybe the emperor can let General Shen come back early?

So General Yan acquiesced, and the cabinet received exactly this urgent report.

After receiving the urgent report and reading the content, Pei Yu suddenly understood. Although the report sounded urgent, it did not contain any substantive information. There were no casualty figures, and not a single general was killed or injured. It might not be really urgent.

Moreover, the city wall of Xuanfu had been specially repaired time and again by three generations of the Shen family over the years. It was wide, thick and high. With such a short time difference between the two urgent reports, it was impossible for the little prince of the Northern Tartars to conquer it so quickly.

This was a great opportunity to help General Shen out of retirement, so Pei Yu pretended not to know the intricacies of the matter and immediately went to the emperor to discuss the current crisis in Xuanfu:

"Your Majesty, the danger in Xuanfu is actually the danger in the capital, and the danger in the capital is actually the danger in the country of our Great Mu Dynasty. The situation is critical. Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly."

The emperor was originally preparing to issue an imperial edict to General Shen, but when he received the urgent news, he could not wait any longer and immediately called Qiao Gui to write the imperial edict on the spot.

Qiao Gui wanted to delay for a while:

"Your Majesty, isn't General Shen still ill..."

The emperor was just about to say that General Shen was doing well, but then he remembered what his sister had told him:

"Your Majesty, matters must be kept secret. Please don't tell anyone about the secret treasure. What if someone else finds out and gets it first?

Especially Qiao Gui, he is too honest. If you tell him and others ask about it, then everyone in the world will know about it, and then it will be unknown who owns the secret treasure. "

So the emperor shouted impatiently:

"Just write when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you the emperor or am I the emperor? I will listen to you or me!"

These words were too harsh, and Qiao Gui knelt down on the spot. He didn't know what the princess had said to the emperor that made him suddenly so determined.

But since the emperor had made up his mind, Qiao Gui dared not do anything else. He quickly wrote the imperial edict appointing General Shen as the commander-in-chief and handed it to Su Fengyi.

Su Fengyi came quickly and left quickly. After taking the imperial edict, he immediately rode back home on horseback.

In the Princess's Mansion, Wutong had already prepared all the things for General Shen to take back to Xuan Mansion.

In Jianjingzhai, General Shen had already prepared his horses and luggage, and everything was ready, just waiting for the imperial order.

Su Fengyi entered the mansion without dismounting, and rode straight into Jian Jingzhai, saying with a smile:

"General Shen, it's done."

Having said that, he casually threw the imperial edict in his hand to General Shen.

General Shen took the imperial edict and read it, then heaved a long sigh of relief and laughed:

"Your Highness is mighty, good, good, good!"

Apart from that, he said nothing more. He just bowed solemnly to Su Fengyi and said:

"Take care, Your Highness. I am leaving now."

This was the first time that General Shen paid homage to Su Fengyi. When he stood up and looked over, Su Fengyi felt as if there were thousands of words in his eyes.

She returned the greeting solemnly:

"I entrust the safety of the country to the general. I hope the general will be victorious and return safely."

At that moment, Shen Quan seemed to see the late emperor through the princess's face. The late emperor had also said:

"Hong Xian, I entrust the safety of the world to you."

Shen Quan was not the kind of person who would drag his feet or indulge in sentimental relationships. He suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart, nodded heavily, jumped on his horse, and rode away with the whip.

A man rode alone, alone, to fulfill his promise to guard the safety of the world, and went to the battlefield of Xuanfu.

The strength of one person is more powerful than that of thousands of soldiers.
