Chapter 531 The Tatars come for revenge!
at the banquet.
Facing Zhen Shao's expectant question, Ye Chen was slightly stunned, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He put down his wine glass and said slowly: "I have married a wife."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Shao's face showed a hint of disappointment.
Ye Chen noticed their reaction, but he knew Zhen Shao's intention.
But as an emperor, how could he marry a woman from the Zhen family in order to win over the Zhen family?
"Well, sir, it's not uncommon for a man as capable as you to have three wives and four concubines."
"Master Zhen, I already have wives and concubines at home, and I don't want to marry more."
Ye Chen's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it carried an irresistible power.
Zhen Shao could only nod.
"Well, that was presumptuous of me."
Ye Chen said calmly, "Master Zhen, today's banquet is very good, but I have important matters to attend to, so I can't stay for long."
Hearing this, although Zhen Shao felt regretful, he did not dare to force him to stay.
"Sir, since you have something to do, I dare not force you to stay."
Ye Chen stood up and prepared to leave with Shen Qiu.
Everyone in the Zhen family stood up to see them off.
After leaving the Zhen family camp, Ye Chen suddenly remembered the figure of a woman dressed as a man whom he had seen a few days ago, and couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that for wealthy families, marriage was often a transaction.
But as an emperor, he must stick to his principles and bottom line.
Shen Qiu followed him silently, without a trace of emotion on his cold face.
After returning to the camp, Ye Chen took a rest.
The Zhen family’s matter is finally settled.
He was planning to leave too.
The next day, the dawn broke.
Ye Chen stood outside the camp, with ten thousand elite soldiers behind him. The army was in neat order and their momentum was as high as a rainbow.
His face was stern, his eyes deep, and he stood with his hands behind his back, saying solemnly to the soldiers, "When you return to the capital this time, you must strictly observe discipline and not disturb the people."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "We will obey your orders, sir!"
The sound was earth-shattering.
Morale is high!
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Zhen family.
Among the crowd of onlookers, Zhen Jiaoxue, who was dressed as a man, was quite shocking.
She soon heard a sigh beside her.
A hint of doubt then appeared on her beautiful face.
"Dad, why are you sighing?"
"This boy has a promising future, but my Zhen family is not even close to him."
Zhen Shao sighed.
"Dad, although this person is capable, he has always used his power to oppress others and even harmed Uncle Cui and the others. He is not a good person."
Zhen Shao shook his head slightly and said, "Jiaoxue, you don't understand. He knows how to use power to pressure others and is good at commanding troops. The situation in the northern border is complicated, but this man led over 10,000 people and stabilized it. His ability is extraordinary, not to mention that he is a close confidant of the emperor. In the future, his future will be limitless."
When Zhen Jiaoxue heard this, she was shocked and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Oh, what a pity."
Zhen Shao sighed again.
"Let's go, Xue'er, we won't move. Let's call the others and go back to Youzhou."
"Yes, father."
Zhen Jiaoxue felt a little relieved. In her opinion, not moving was the best outcome for the Zhen family.
Involuntarily, her impression of Ye Chen improved a lot.
Ye Chen separated from the Zhen family's convoy, got on the carriage, and sped up along the way.
Two days later, they were almost at the Yellow River. Just as Ye Chen came to an inn to rest, a fast horse suddenly came galloping.
The soldier on horseback looked anxious. When he saw Ye Chen, he immediately dismounted and knelt on one knee.
"Sir, Lord Tuoba Lieye has sent urgent news from the grasslands. There are unusual movements of Tatar cavalry, and they may enter the country!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's face darkened and his eyes immediately became sharp.
Shen Qiu immediately stepped forward, took the letter handed over by the soldier, and handed it to Ye Chen.
After Ye Chen read the letter, his expression changed.
"A thousand cavalrymen might be able to break through the Great Wall. Su Fu has just taken over the northern border, and with Yang Dechang leading the way, he will definitely not be able to defend it."
"Oh no, is the Zhen family in danger?"
After a little thought, Ye Chen realized that the situation was not good.
"Qiu'er, follow me out and order the troops in the rear to speed up. We'll quickly reunite with them!"
Ye Chen gave the order immediately.
After walking out of the post station and getting on the carriage.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and then said, "Qiu'er, send someone to inform Su Fu to immediately send out a thousand cavalrymen. She will select generals to command them and prepare to join me in attacking the Tatar cavalry from the front and back."
"promise!"
Shen Qiu immediately went down to pass on the order.
When she came back, she said to Ye Chen with some worry: "Your Majesty, the purpose of the Tatar cavalry's entry this time should not be those people from the Zhen family."
"Oh, I know they are targeting me, but there are only a thousand cavalrymen coming. These Tatars probably think I still only have the three thousand infantrymen."
Ye Chen snorted coldly.
He has 10,000 elite soldiers at his command and is not afraid of any cavalry at all.
But those members of the Zhen family had been separated from him only a few days ago, and they were heading north again, so they were likely to encounter these Tatar cavalry.
Just when Ye Chen led his troops north.
In the northern border of Dayu, a group of Tatar cavalry has arrived at the edge of the Great Wall.
This cavalry was not wearing armor and was dressed lightly.
And the leader of this cavalry.
Tahamu, who had only one hand left, took a deep breath and was about to lead his men to attack when a carriage suddenly stopped beside him.
Yang Dechang got off the carriage. He was wearing Tatar clothing at this time. His face was as deep as the abyss and he stared at Tahamu with deep eyes.
"Second Prince, don't act impulsively."
This is what Edward Yang said.
"My hands and ears are gone, and the enemy only has a few thousand infantrymen. Why are you stopping me from taking revenge?"
Tahamu asked with gritted teeth.
"Second Prince, you are now deep in the borders of Dayu. The Cui family is finished. There are no major families in the northern borders that will join forces with us. It is too dangerous for you to go there now."
"A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Even if we want revenge, there is no need to rush. We can take the long view."
Yang Dechang advised in a gentle tone.
"That's enough! You don't have to say any more. I'm a cripple now. I don't even have the qualifications to compete for the position of Chanyu. I must take revenge, and no one can stop me!"
Tahamu's eyes were full of ferocity, and he had no intention of listening to Yang Dechang at all.
When he was in Youzhou City before, he was ambitious and wanted to have Dayu's prosperous kingdom.
But now, he just wants revenge!
In the end, Tahamu ignored Yang Dechang and swung his horsewhip violently.
"Follow me! Whoever kills that government messenger will receive a reward of ten thousand gold!"
Tahamu roared.
A thousand Tatar cavalry immediately rushed towards the Great Wall.
Seeing this, Yang Dechang frowned, and only after the cavalry had run away did he unable to help but curse.
"You damn barbarian."
"This boy is not worth planning."
Yang Dechang returned to the carriage angrily, ordered the driver to turn the horses around, and left without looking back.
