Chapter 583 Miaoyu's Feelings
Jia Cong stood on a high ground, looking down at the battle between the armies below. As time went by, the two sides had been fighting for more than half an hour, and the soldiers on both sides were obviously a little tired.
Suddenly, Jia Cong gave the order, "The enemy's formation is in disarray in the northwest corner. Send Niu Chong to charge in! Send the main formation forward!"
This troop was the elite of the enemy, but now they were surrounded by enemies that outnumbered them several times, and they had almost no choice but to die in battle. So, at the beginning, under the encouragement of their commander, the soldiers mustered up the courage to fight, but as time passed, they consumed not only their physical strength but also their willpower.
Comrades died in front of him one after another. There were enemies several times more numerous than him in front of him, and cavalry were harassing him on both sides. He might die at the next moment.
Under such pressure, the enemy's fighting spirit gradually waned. Although Jia Cong's troops were also suffering from attrition, facing this battle that was sure to win, everyone's mood was naturally different from that of the enemy.
It was precisely because of this that a gap appeared in the rear due to the harassment of the cavalry.
After receiving the order, the army in front immediately pressed forward, and Niu Chong also changed his previous harassment and led his troops directly to the location pointed by Jia Cong.
There were naturally defenses around the enemy's formation, but once the formation was disrupted, the enemy seized the opportunity and Niu Chong immediately opened a gap.
Niu Chong led his troops forward fearlessly, and Ma Gang seized the opportunity to open a gap from another direction.
In an instant, the rear of the enemy's formation was in chaos, and the confusion in the rear army directly involved the front army. Originally, the two sides were still fighting against each other, but the rear was attacked, which made the soldiers in the front lose their will to fight. Chen Ruiwen and the other two seized the opportunity and fought desperately with their personal guards. The enemy did not hold on for long, and the entire front line of defense completely collapsed.
As the enemy's army formation became disrupted, the battle was finally won.
Chen Wenrui and his companion led the army to continue advancing slowly. Niu Chong and Ma Gang led the cavalry to chase and kill the rebels. The two sides fought again for nearly an hour, and the noise in the camp finally calmed down.
"Pengchuan, you must immediately dispatch three thousand soldiers from the rear army and set up an ambush five miles northwest of the main camp. If any troops from other main camps approach, immediately intercept and kill them! Niu Chong, you must immediately lead your troops directly to Shima Town to support Meng Hua's troops. The rest of the troops must clean up the battlefield, repair the main camp, and set up camp..."
…
In Chengdu Prefecture, Miaoyu’s residence!
Miaoyu cooked a few of her signature dishes, but she threw them all away without eating a single bite! She fiddled with the teacups on the table, poured two cups of tea, and drank them slowly by herself.
"Girl, you should eat something too. You have lost a lot of weight these days!" Yue Ling persuaded.
Miaoyu shook her head slightly, still finishing both cups of tea, and then asked, "Has our people not sent any news yet?"
"Girl, I think that person is on guard now, so it won't be easy to investigate."
" Send out another group of people! In a head-on confrontation, that person is definitely no match for him. What's terrifying is his underhanded tactics that are hard to defend against! As long as we find out where he is and have someone follow him, we can inform him of any moves he makes in advance and allow him to prepare in advance."
Yue Ling nodded!
"He should be in the White Horse Town area now!"
"Our people have reported that the Marquis has indeed left Longtai Town for Baima Town. However, our people can only scout from a distance and dare not let the army's scouts discover his tracks. Therefore, we don't know the specific situation."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I know he is here!" Miaoyu said softly.
"Miss, do you think the Marquis can win?"
Miaoyu put away the two teacups and said forcefully, "He can win. He is the undefeated champion marquis. He will definitely be undefeated!"
…
In Shenjing City, a rumor that could have caused a major stir was aborted shortly after it surfaced by Xue Datou. Wang Ziteng had initially investigated the identities of those individuals, but after two or three days of searching, he only vaguely learned that they had been quietly abducted, their fate unknown.
The person who could do this and leave even the Minister of War without being able to find any trace of him was most likely Emperor Longxing.
Wang Ziteng, Lin Ruhai, and the others were indeed worried about what the Longxing Emperor would do next. After all, rumors like these never needed to be verified.
However, to their surprise, Emperor Longxing seemed oblivious to this, continuing to provide the frontline troops with food, military pay, and weapons. Furthermore, during a court meeting, someone accused Jia Cong of delaying military reports and killing innocent people, and Emperor Longxing bluntly stated, "A general is not subject to the emperor's orders!"
"No one is allowed to interfere with the military affairs of the Champion Marquis!"
Let everyone see the extent of Emperor Longxing's trust and support for Jia Cong!
Naturally, no one knew that Emperor Longxing had been living an extremely comfortable life these days! The reason for this was that Daiyu, Baochai and other girls had been coming to the palace to accompany the Empress almost every other day. The Empress was naturally happy, and when the Empress was happy, Emperor Longxing was naturally happy too.
Although Wang Ziteng and the others were still secretly monitoring the rumors, they did not dare to pursue them further. After all, the emperor had clearly intervened and had even ordered the Imperial Guard to investigate. If they interfered with the Imperial Guard's actions, it would be bad.
Therefore, the person most affected by this incident was Xue Pan.
Although Xue Pan had fought, Wang Ziteng didn't reprimand him for it. After all, this fight had directly eliminated a major hidden danger. If such a rumor spread widely, Emperor Longxing would probably have taken some action, even for the sake of public opinion. But now, the rumor died a premature death, quietly suppressed, and its impact on Jia Cong was minimized.
It could be said that this fight was not only innocent, but actually merited. It was for this reason that Wang Ziteng, when attending a banquet at the Xue family's house, went out of his way to praise Xue Pan. After all, this nephew had never been reliable, but this time, not only was his motivation to protect Jia Cong's reputation, but he also accidentally did something good, which was truly rare...
However, Aunt Xue was worried! She didn't understand the big picture, only that it wasn't good for her son to get into trouble like this. Not to mention that he was about to get married, it would be bad if he got into trouble. And now that he had been stripped of his status, he would need to find a proper job. So, she begged Wang Ziteng for help.
Even though Wang Ziteng looked down on his nephew, he didn't refuse this time. After all, if Jia Cong and Baochai were to marry in the future, if his brother-in-law was not a good person, it would affect the relationship between the two families. So, after thinking for a few days, he kicked Xue Pan to the camp outside the city...
