Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 317: Xie's Army Surrenders to the Enemy with Border Town

Three days later,

Three imperial edicts and ten thousand troops arrived at the border town.

After the 10,000-strong army arrived at the border town, they first set up camp and then sent people to announce the imperial decree.

The content of the imperial edict was not much different from the news brought by the confidant.

He ordered Xie Guohua to hand over his military power, and he and Xie Chengwu were bound together and returned to Beijing, not allowed to bring any soldiers with them, and to defend their innocence in the court.

As for the Xie family, they are now guests in an imperial manor, so there is no need to worry about their safety.

After hearing the imperial edict, Xie Guohua's face turned pale. Xie Chengwu was now in Daqian, so how could he go back? If he went back, he would die, but if he didn't go back.

What about Xie’s family?

"Thank you, sir, for accepting my order~~"

The eunuch placed the imperial edict in Xie Guohua's hands.

"Sir Xie, please hand over the military token!" said a cold voice.

Xie Guohua looked up and saw that the man was called Liu Wu, the brother of a queen in the palace. He was not very smart, but for some reason, he always disliked him.

Xie Guohua sneered in his heart. His Majesty was really stingy. He wanted to hold the military power in his own hands, so he found such a waste to take over the military power.

In the future, whenever you want military power, you can just ask for it.

But is this person's brain enough?

"Please wait a moment, my lord. The military token is not in my hand."

Xie Guohua wanted to find an excuse to discuss it with his subordinates, but Liu Wu did not give him the chance.

"Thank you, General. Where is the military token? I will go with you to get it."

Xie Guohua's mouth twitched: "No need, it's just a military token, I'll take it out in a moment."

"Oh~~ I didn't make myself clear. From now on, I will be the commander of the Xie Family Army. From now on, the Xie Family Army will be renamed the Liu Family Army. I want to go and see my Liu Family Army." Liu Wu looked at Xie Guohua, who obediently accepted the order, and spoke rudely.

The eunuchs around him winked at him until their eyes were almost cramped, but Lord Liu didn't see anything. Instead, he followed Xie Guohua towards the camp of Xie's army.

He kept talking all the way.

"Xie, you have come to this day. I have said that one day, I will step on your shoulders."

"When you return to Beijing this time, you will definitely not be able to be a general. Do you want to say a few nice words? I will plead for you to be a vanguard in the Liu family army."

"Your wife and the others are now..."

Balabala...

The veins on Xie Guohua's head were bulging. Where did this idiot come from? Could it be that he was wrong? Did His Majesty want this idiot to force him to rebel?

Walking into the camp, Xie Guohua suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Ms. sir~~"

Then his wife appeared at the entrance of the opposite tent and smiled at him.

"Aren't you in the capital?"

"Aren't the Xie family members under house arrest? Why are they here?"

Liu Wu was stunned by the sudden appearance of the person, but he reacted immediately, pointing at Xie Guohua's nose and said, "Okay! Mr. Xie, you really want to rebel, even your family..."

"Oh!"

Xie Guohua punched Liu Wu on the head, and Liu Wu's eyelids fluttered and he fainted.

"These two idiots!"

After complaining, Xie Guohua finally had time to ask his wife, "Why are you here? Are you here alone, or with whom? Are mother and son all right?"

After asking a series of questions, Madam Xie directly lifted the curtain of the tent and said softly, "Everyone is here."

Xie Guohua saw that his whole family was safe and sound, and half of the worry he had been holding on to was relieved, and the other half...

"Who saved you?"

"Thank you General!"

Before Mrs. Xie could answer, a man in plain clothes walked out of the tent.

"I am Gu Zixi from Daqian, and I have come here to persuade General Xie to come to our Daqian."

"I don't·····"

Before Xie Guohua could finish his words, he was interrupted by his mother.

"Son! The emperor of Dai Viet is not a human being. You don't have to stick to your loyalty and patriotism. If Mr. Gu hadn't come in time, my granddaughter's innocence would have been lost."

Xie Guohua asked with a sullen face: "It's Prince Qing!"

Madam Xie nodded slightly.

"He hasn't given up yet!"

This Prince Qing was a strong contender for the throne at the time. He wanted to marry into the Xie family and get the Xie family's support. However, how could the Xie family, who held military power, easily marry into the prince and get involved in the next generation's fight for the throne? Xie Guohua directly refused.

I didn’t expect that now that the former crown prince has ascended the throne, Prince Qing still wants to get involved with the Xie family.

Xie Guohua sighed. He had to rebel now even if he didn’t want to.

After all, his family had already fled from the capital to the border town.

Tell the emperor that the Xie family has no intention of rebelling, and the emperor must believe it!

"Lieutenant General Liu, let's rebel! Let's break camp now and head to Daqian."

"Hey~ General Xie, I forgot one thing." Gu Zixi said in a gentle voice.

Xie Guohua raised his head in surprise: "What did you forget?"

“Forget the border town!”

"Border Town! You mean to say that my Xie family will take Border Town away as well." Xie Guohua was a little unbelievable. This official from Daqian had a really big appetite.

Gu Zixi looked worried about the people: "The new emperor of Dai Yue is not only narrow-minded, but your Xie family army has just left. The people of this city will inevitably be angered by the emperor of Dai Yue. The emperor's anger is not something that ordinary people can bear. Can you bear to let them suffer this hardship?"

Xie Guohua fell silent again.

Although Gu Zixi's words were harsh, they were the truth.

The emperor of Dai Viet was indeed stingy.

The people of the border town are called common people, but they have long been integrated with the Xie Family Army. Whenever there is a military emergency, everyone in the border town becomes a soldier, and the support of the Xie Family Army is indispensable.

Xie Guohua was reluctant to see the people of the border town being blamed.

"Also, all the people of Daqian can grow high-yield grains next year."

"I will lead Biancheng to rebel together!"

Gu Zixi's words made the final decision, and Xie Guohua decided to rebel.

The next step was also simple. The Xie family army was divided into two parts. One part was to guard against the wolf cavalry on the grassland, and the other part turned its spearhead directly to attack the 10,000-strong army that came with the eunuch who announced the imperial edict.

As for the emperor's brother-in-law who came to take over the military power, he was hanged on the city wall.

"Xie's army...Xie's army really rebelled!"

[The Xie family army rebelled and joined Daqian! ]

The eyes of the guard outside Xu Jinyu's door suddenly lit up. After quietly leaving Prince An's Mansion, he ran towards the direction of the imperial palace.

The capital is quite far from the border, and even if it is an expedited journey of 800 miles, it will take about ten days. However, Lord Xu definitely has first-hand information.

I didn't hear at all what Xu Jinyu was thinking.

[What about Princess Lingyue and her General Xie? ]

[The two, a princess who was married to a foreign country and a son of a military family, have no external forces, but their relationship is surprisingly good. They really have real feelings for each other, not fake ones.]

[Did Princess Wuyang and I tell Princess Lingyue the story in vain? ]

[The relationship between the two of them is actually getting better and better. This is the rebellious period. The more you are not allowed to do something, the more you want to do it. ]

[One is a princess of great wealth and status, and the other is the descendant of a traitor. Can they still be together without any grudges? ]

[What about the Dai Viet envoys? They are in such a plight. They are still in Daqian, while Dai Viet has been robbed.]

[Hahahaha... the more I think about it, the more miserable it gets. If the Emperor of Dai Viet knew that his sister was seduced away by the descendant of a traitor, he would be so angry that he would die.]
