Chapter 2630 Summoned Into the Palace

Old General Lian also wanted to know what His Majesty wanted to do, but said: "Master Wu, this is Your Majesty's will and His Majesty's grace. Please lead all the soldiers back to the capital as soon as possible. If it is too late, Your Majesty's grace will be in vain."

After hearing this, all the soldiers looked at Wu Changzhen, waiting for his order.

Wu Changfang had a bad temper. After waiting for a while, when he saw that Wu Changzhen still didn't give the order, he became anxious and said: "Brother, hurry up and give the order. The mountain is about to collapse. If it is later, it will be too late!"

Wu Changzhen looked at him suddenly, which shocked Wu Changfang and quickly lowered his head.

Wu Changzhen stared at him and said: "Wu Changfang, remember who your master is. Don't be grateful to the Wei family just because you were let back. You were let back because your brother and I are capable and it was me who used tricks. They forced the Wei family to let you back!"

During the Battle of Tangjiang Mansion, Wu Changfang was captured alive by Wei Er and used as a hostage to threaten Wu Changzhen.

But Wu Changzhen was very capable and cunning. After blocking the way of the Wei army, he showed his surrender to the Wei family. The uncles and nephews of the Wei family thought that Wu Changfang had gone to the northwest and made friends with Qin Sanlang. His thoughts should be wavering. In addition, Wu Changfang promised that after meeting his eldest brother, he would use family affection to persuade him to surrender.

In the end, the uncles and nephews of the Wei family released Wu Changfang.

But what the Wu brothers said were all lies. Wu Changfang has not fulfilled a single promise since he escaped from trouble... But Wu Changfang is indeed shaken in his heart.

"The master of the Wu family and all the courtiers is your Majesty. Don't worry, eldest brother. As your Majesty's minister, your younger brother is willing to fight and die for your Majesty!" Wu Changfang promised.

Wu Changzhen then gave a satisfied sigh, looked at the generals and said: "Comrades, no matter the final victory or defeat, please remember that Your Majesty once saved our lives. After the Wei army reaches the capital, if there is no His Majesty ordered that even if we die in battle, we must not take another step back!"

This means that he agreed to withdraw to the capital.

The generals hurriedly said: "Yes, I have remembered it, and I will definitely defend your majesty until the last moment!"

After Wu Changzhen heard this, he suddenly bowed to them: "Thank you all."

All the soldiers were shocked and hurriedly returned the salute with clasped fists. However, because of Wu Changzhen's salute and His Majesty's kindness in retreating, they were determined to defend the capital for Emperor Jingyuan.

Wu Changzhen turned back, glanced at the crumbling mountain, and ordered: "Your Majesty's decree, all the soldiers of the Mushan Army do not have to fight to the death. They must immediately assemble and retreat to the capital to wait for orders. Let's go!"

The generals immediately took out their own general's arrows and gave them to the messenger.

After the messenger received the command arrow, he immediately rode on his horse to convey the order: "Your Majesty's decree, all the soldiers of Mushan Army do not have to fight to the death. They must assemble immediately and retreat to the capital to wait for orders!"

Hundreds of messengers were running in the mountain. After hearing the order and confirming the general's arrows, they gathered battalions one by one and ran towards the Beishan in the direction of the capital, and gathered down the mountain from the Beishan.

Boom boom boom boom!

The boulders were still smashing against the mountain, and after a few more hits, they finally collapsed the hollowed-out mountain.

There was a rumble, and the mountain collapsed, as if it had been cut away by a heavenly sword. From top to bottom, a large slope collapsed, allowing people below to climb up easily.

"It has collapsed, the mountain has collapsed, and Mushan's defense line has been broken!" The Wei army was extremely excited and said to Wei Xiao: "General, the mountain has really collapsed, you are really amazing... quickly order the attack Mountain!”

Wei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. God would not kill him, and let him smash one side of the mountain. He immediately drew his sword and ordered: "Attack the mountain, capture Wu Changzhen alive, take him to the capital, and force Emperor Jingyuan to abdicate!"

"Yes!" The Wei soldiers shouted: "The general has ordered us to attack the mountain and capture Wu Changzhen alive!"

"Attack the mountain, attack the mountain, and capture Wu Changzhen alive!" Even the civilians pulling the stones excitedly picked up their hatchets and rushed toward the mountain.

However, if you catch it, the person will have run away.

When the Wei army attacked Mushan, not a single soldier was seen. Apart from the sun-wilted trees in Mushan, there were only poison traps left.

That's right, before Wu Changzhen left, he left a poison trap for Wei Xiao.

Bang bang bang!

The machine was stepped on, and poisonous arrows were fired. When the poison was shot out, it also brought with it a line of ridicule... There were notes tied to the poisonous arrows, and there was only one sentence written on all the notes: Wei Xiao, it's not that I'm afraid of you, it's Your Majesty did not want any casualties among the soldiers, so he ordered us to retreat to the capital. As for Wei Qi, you are a shameless villain who can only use your nephew to fight wars. You are not worthy of me leaving a message to you!

This alienation tactic worked well. Some literate Wei Jiajun saw it. It won't be long before Wei Qi uses Wei Xiao to fight and enjoy the benefits.

Wei Xiao was furious: "Gather immediately and pursue Wu Changzhen!"

this?

The Wei army was still immersed in the joy of conquering Mushan. When they heard this, they were stunned and their joy dropped sharply.

Wei Qi was also carried up the mountain by his own soldiers. After hearing this, he said: "Brother Xiao, the soldiers have been tired for more than half a month. Are you really going to chase me if you don't rest?"

Wei Xiao said: "If we don't take the opportunity to catch up and kill half of Wu Changzhen's troops, we will have another tough battle to fight after we get to the capital. We must catch up and kill as many as we can!"

Now they can pursue without chasing. When the battle of the capital comes, Wu Changzhen will have a towering and thick city wall full of hidden mechanisms as a support. If they want to break through the capital, it will be more difficult than breaking through Mushan.

The best way is: "Capture or kill Wu Changzhen alive so that there will be no handsome man in the capital!"

However, there is also Zhong Huan in the capital. He is not an ordinary civil servant. He is also very good at leading troops and fighting.

Wei Qi's mouth felt bitter after hearing this... This battle was too damn hard to fight, but Wei Xiao was right. He was at ease now, but it would be hard to fight when the battle in the capital came. He was very anxious to ascend the throne. : "Sure, I'll listen to you."

"Well, if uncle is tired or reluctant to part with the supplies on Mu Mountain, he can take some of his troops to stay and receive them." After Wei Xiao said this, he said: "The whole army will follow the order and immediately set off to pursue Wu Changzhen. If you can't capture him alive, Shoot him with a crossbow!"

Looking at this posture, it is impossible for Wu Changzhen to surrender to them. In this case, it would be more beneficial to them to kill him... This person is really difficult to beat!

"Yes!" The Wei army immediately went down the mountain to pursue Wu Changzhen.

Wei Qi was afraid that Wei Xiao would monopolize the credit, so he endured the pain of heatstroke and pulled Yan Kuang and others to catch up.

Yan Kuang was so old that he could die at any time. He almost died in the carriage while running like this.

Ning Ji also took Mr. Ning to follow Wei Xiao to help chase Wu Changzhen and the others... He was thinking silently in his heart that he must kill Wu Changzhen, he must be killed, so that the events of this life can match up with the previous one!

The outcome of the Battle of Mushan was different from the previous life, which made Ning Ji panic, so he wanted to kill Wu Changzhen so that things in the two lives could be reconciled, so that he could feel at ease.

It's a pity that they couldn't catch up with Wu Changzhen. Not only did they not catch up, they also fell into several poison traps on the way, killing and injuring many people... However, this number of casualties was less than in the previous life.

When Wu Changzhen and the others were retreating all the way, General Lian sent people to inform people in the counties and towns along the way that the Wei army was about to kill them. Those who wanted to escape to the capital should follow them. If they didn't follow, they would be posted as guards. The family army flag temporarily surrendered to the Wei family army, and also said: "This is your majesty's grace. If your majesty wins, you will not be held accountable!"

People in the counties and towns along the way had mixed feelings in their hearts after hearing this... His Majesty didn't seem to be as crazy as they thought, but there were very few people who followed him to the capital. Most of them had family properties here and didn't dare to give them up easily.

Old General Lian and other military commanders' families and relatives from the Zhili camp followed.

…

A few days later, in the palace, Emperor Jingyuan received the battle report from Wu Changzhen. After a moment of silence, he issued an order: "Summon Zong Zhengya into the palace. I want to see her."
