Chapter 154 Heading to Kunyang

Three quarters past three in the afternoon, Nanyang City.

The city is peaceful.

In a house that was temporarily requisitioned as a garrison, a man who looked like a general was discussing war with several of his subordinates.

This person was a general sent to Nanyang by Chu Tiancheng, named Wang Xing.

He brought with him 10,000 men. There were originally 5,000 defenders in the city, and now these 15,000 were under his command.

At this moment, the messenger suddenly came running over, shouting as he ran: "General, urgent order!"

Wang Xing's heart tightened, "The Southern Army is coming?"

He took the order and read it. It said: "Quickly withdraw 12,000 men to Kunyang City. Leave 3,000 men in Nanyang. Close the city gates tightly and do not leave the city without permission."

Wang Xing was a little puzzled. "The Southern Army hasn't arrived yet, and the battle hasn't started yet, so why are they withdrawing?"

What he didn't know was that because Xiao Yifei deliberately arranged for people to intercept the carrier pigeons flying out of Linshan Town, the news of the Southern Army's expedition was blocked.

"Who gave this order? Wang Feng?" one of Wang Xing's subordinates muttered.

Wang Xing took another look at the military order and suddenly found a stamp on it, which was a "swallow feather" pattern.

"The prince has arrived in Kunyang?" Wang Xing asked in surprise.

The messenger replied, "The prince has not arrived, but the princess has arrived in Kunyang."

"Princess?" Wang Xing deliberately drew out the voice, turned around and looked at the subordinates present, and then everyone laughed together.

The messenger waited until they had laughed enough before saying, "The prince has given the Yanling Order to the princess."

"What? Does the prince treat Yan Ling Ling as a toy?" said a subordinate dissatisfiedly.

Another subordinate suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Could it be that the princess ordered the troops to withdraw?"

Another person continued, "Does the princess treat the mobilization of troops as a joke?"

Several military generals present looked at Wang Xing with ugly expressions.

How can I bear being moved around by a woman?

"We have come so far to fight the Southern Army. How can we run away from the battlefield?"

While Wang Xing was making an impassioned speech, another messenger came running over.

The content of the second military order was exactly the same as the previous one.

Wang Xing was stunned. "Why is there a second military order? And it's exactly the same?"

He grabbed the messenger and asked, but the messenger shook his head.

A clever subordinate came over and said, "Could it be that the princess knows that you won't obey so readily?"

Wang Xing pushed him away and said, "Go, go, go. The princess doesn't recognize me."

After one stick of incense, the third messenger arrived.

The third military order still had the same content.

Now Wang Xing was a little panicked.

If he doesn't carry out three consecutive military orders, that would be three times of disobedience, which is a bit too much.

Wang Xing was helpless. "Send an order, assemble the army urgently."

Wang Xing counted 3,000 men to stay behind and ordered them to "keep the city gates shut and not leave the city without permission."

Youshi.

Wang Xing led 12,000 men out of the north gate and headed for Kunyang.

After they had been walking for an hour, the vanguard of Xiao Yi's army arrived at the city of Nanyang and immediately formed a siege on Nanyang.

The 3,000 defenders in the city were trembling with fear, remembering the order "no one is allowed to leave the city without permission."

Another hour later, Wang Xing, who was riding a horse, received the latest intelligence: Xiao Yi led an army of 400,000 to surround Nanyang City.

When Wang Xing heard the news, he almost fell off his horse.

Four hundred thousand Confederate troops?

If they were in Nanyang City at this time, wouldn't they be surrounded and ambushed?

After a while, he finally reacted and quickly ordered: "The entire army should speed up and move forward. Don't stop for a moment."

Wang Xing galloped on his horse in the night, and kowtowed to Qin Rubing ten thousand times in his heart, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life!"

He felt extremely guilty about the 3,000 people left behind in Nanyang, and it would have been better if they had all been brought out.

But, he was wrong again.

The next morning, Xiao Yi sneered when he learned that there were only 3,000 defenders in Nanyang City with its gates tightly closed.

"Four hundred thousand against three thousand is not enough to fill the gap between our teeth. Besides, it's not a fair victory, and it will be embarrassing if it gets out."

He waved his hand and said, "Pass the order to bypass Nanyang and head straight to Kunyang."
