After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 398 Who is he?

The generals rolled their eyes, not caring that this was the prince and his superior.

Okay, okay, I know it was given to you by the princess. I know you have a powerful princess. That’s great!

Well, everyone is helpless, which is really amazing.

They were indeed dazzled!

Song Shixu was even more sad, he wanted it too!

"Princess~"

When he was called "Princess", Yu Tingwan got goosebumps, and Song Shixu was successfully kicked out by Shen Chenli!

Yu Tingwan found it funny, but he didn't say that he would give them horses as gifts. Even if he did, they would probably not accept them, after all, they already had their own companions.

After showing off the horses, Shen Chenli asked everyone to quickly pack up and prepare for the siege.

But when they were about to go to the city gate, they realized something was wrong.

"What's going on now?"

Zhang Yifeng, who was in charge of the alert, turned around and saluted them.

"Your Highness, I don't know. I also feel it's a little strange. There is no movement in the city, and there is no sign of a shift change on the tower. It seems that the people on the tower are also confused."

He saw them looking around all the time, and now one of them had already run down from the city wall to check the situation.

After hearing what he said, they were no longer in a hurry and just waited to see what would happen after that person went up to the city wall.

Taking the telescope that Yu Tingwan gave them, everyone could clearly see that the people on the city wall were a little panicked.

"That mighty general won't run away, right?"

As soon as Yu Tingwan finished speaking, he saw the people on the city wall were in a daze, as if they had heard some shocking news. Even their weapons fell off the city wall.

Then all the soldiers guarding the city rushed down the city wall.

Uh, everyone put down their telescopes and looked at each other.

Could it be that what the princess said was right?

Shen Chenli looked at the city wall in the distance and waved to call two soldiers of the Gale Army.

"Go check out the situation in the city."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing them rushing over there so quickly, with such great skill, everyone could not help but sigh:

"They are the ones that the princess took away before, right? They are so skilled now!"

"Of course!" Zhou Yan looked at the several Gale Army soldiers standing beside him with admiration.

"If I had met the princess back then, maybe I could have achieved something like this!"

He followed the prince later, and he is not a child anymore. No matter how advanced his martial arts are, they cannot compare to when he was young.

Seeing that these people met such a divine figure as the princess at such a young age, even he couldn't help but sigh that people's fates are different.

Not long after, the two members of the Gale Army came back, but they looked a little strange.

"What did you see with that expression?"

Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows and looked at them, only to find that the expressions of these two people were very strange.

The two Swift Wind soldiers looked at each other, then bowed to Yu Tingwan and said:

"Replying to Princess, there are only civilians in the city!"

General An Yuan frowned in surprise.

"What do you mean there are only common people?"

Then two members of the Gale Army explained to him what it meant to have only civilians.

"Except for the people of Hejian itself, there is no one else. That mighty general... abandoned the city and fled!"

……

For a moment, no one knew what expression to use to deal with this matter.

Abandon the city and flee?

This should have been a happy occasion, but for some reason, no one was happy.

Even General An Yuan started cursing!

"Fuck, where on earth did this mighty general come from? Is he really so mighty? Abandoning the city and fleeing, is this what a general would do?"

This is what they encountered. What if they encountered the former Beidi people? Let the Beidi people massacre the people?

What if they were the people of Nanliang? Would they let them plant poisonous flowers and weeds all over Dasheng, and let all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants crawl all over the place?

Let these foreigners bully the people of Dasheng at will?

Therefore, no general was happy about this matter. Just think about it, this kind of person is from Da Sheng, and he holds the position of general, leading an army of 300,000, and this is how he does things?

Oh, that's not right. He also took away the soldiers originally stationed in Hejian, more than 400,000 people. Just because the princess brought another 200,000 soldiers, he abandoned the city and fled when the number of people was equal?

"My Lord, Princess, I request to bring this great general back to you and subject him to military punishment!"

In an instant, several captains became angry. Why not kill this kind of person and let him harm Da Sheng?

They couldn't bear to watch it anymore!

Seeing their indignation, Yu Tingwan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but remind them.

"We are fighting Dasheng now. Even if you are from Dasheng, do you want him to fight you to the death and kill the 400,000 soldiers of Dasheng, or do you want him to run away in a cowardly manner, so that at least the soldiers under his command can still survive and work for Dasheng after a little training?"

Uh, that hits the nail on the head!

They were angry at this mighty general, not at these soldiers.

They are all Da Sheng people. Even if they don’t go to the battlefield in the future, they can go home and farm and work, and they can also contribute to Da Sheng. What’s the use of Da Sheng being an empty shell without people!

Everyone who was reminded by Yu Tingwan fell silent.

Looking at the group of people who finally came over, Yu Tingwan sighed helplessly.

Forget it, they should hurry into the city first. That mighty general ran away overnight, and I’m afraid those bridges may be difficult to save.

Sure enough, Shen Chenli also thought of this. While everyone was cleaning up, he called the Swift Wind Army to check out the bridges. He now felt that the Swift Wind Army was really useful!

How about asking the princess to train a group of people for him?

After everyone had packed up, the army set out and marched into Hejian County in a grand manner.

Apart from the dilapidated city gate, Hejian County no longer looked as prosperous as it once was, and it looked as if it had been looted.

Some soldiers entered the city in an orderly manner, while others had crossed the river and set up camp by the river.

"We haven't even fought our way in yet, why is the city like this?"

Zhang Yiyu was puzzled and stared at the scene in the city in a daze. He really didn't remember entering the city!

No, even if they came in, they wouldn't have made the city like this. So this is...

"This was all done by those robbers!"

Everyone turned to look and saw that the door of a shop on the side of the street was ajar. When they saw them looking over, the gap suddenly closed, but opened again the next moment, and a merchant dressed in silk came out. He sighed when he saw them.

"This is Prince Chen, right? Then this is the princess?"

Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him, then looked at Shen Chenli, then nodded and asked:

"Sir, do you know us?"

When the businessman saw her answer, he hurried over, shaking his head and waving his hands as he walked.

"Alas, I am not worthy of being addressed as sir by the princess. I, Ren Jiaxue, pay my respects to the prince and princess."

Shen Chenli waved his hand to let him get up, but then asked:

"Sir, please stand up. I wonder what is going on here? Where have all the people gone?"

It seemed that they had only seen such a person since they entered the city.

Ren Jiaxue thanked him and stood up, then he said, "To answer your Majesty and Princess, the people in this city are hiding in their homes or in the nearby mountains and forests and dare not come out, fearing that you will forcibly confiscate their property like that great general sent by the court!"

After hearing what he said, everyone finally understood why the city had become like this, and it was actually related to that mighty general!

"Who is this great general?"

Everyone seldom goes back to Beijing, so naturally they don't know this great general, so they turn their heads to those who have been in Beijing in the past two years.

The prince certainly doesn't count on them. This kind of stuff can't even get close to him. If they are within ten meters of him, he will kill them!

So everyone's eyes turned to Song Shixu again. This guy was jumping around in the capital, so he should know who it was, right?

Song Shixu touched his nose and wanted to pretend that he didn't know. He now felt that it was embarrassing to know who this person was.

"He is Prime Minister Wen's grandson, Wen Lin."
