Chapter 391 Withdrawal
Soon, Ye Ningyu hurried to the main hall.
There were many people in the main hall, and Ye Ningyu felt like she was back to last night.
"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Ningyu asked as soon as she entered the main hall.
"Ah Yu!" King Yong's face was filled with joy. When he saw Ye Ningyu come in, he stood up and walked to the door of the main hall, welcoming her in very warmly. Everyone saw this and stood up one after another.
When they arrived at the main hall, Ye Ningyu found that the first place where King Yong lowered his head was empty.
King Yong welcomed her to the empty seat and smiled heartily. "A happy event, a great happy event!"
Ye Ningyu glanced at King Yong, then turned to look at everyone. Everyone's face looked relaxed and relieved, as if the sky was clear after a heavy rain.
"Could it be that... Liang Guo retreated?" Although she had already made a guess, she still hoped to get an accurate answer.
"It's not just about retreating!" King Xiangyang also stood up excitedly, "Guess what happened to Liang Guo?!"
Ye Ningyu was slightly stunned, "What's the matter?"
The King of Xiangyang laughed so loudly that he almost slapped his thigh. "Dongfang Yue stabbed Murong Zhen with a sword in the Liang Army camp. Murong Zhen is dead!"
"What?" Ye Ningyu looked horrified again. "Dongfang Yue killed the Crown Prince of Liang?"
"Murong Zhen died on the spot in front of all the Liang troops. The news quickly reached Emperor Liang. Emperor Liang was furious and ordered Dongfang Yi to take Dongfang Yue and the army back to the capital immediately. Even if Dongfang Yi wanted to protect him, there was nothing he could do."
As King Yong spoke, he looked deeply at Ye Ningyu.
"It's incredible. Why is Dongfang Yue so bold?" Ye Ningyu still had an expression of disbelief.
The King of Xiangyang explained happily. "It is said that it was because of a woman. When Dongfang Yue assassinated him, he was talking vaguely about the hatred of seizing his wife, and about "my daughter" and "son". This news has already spread in Liang Dynasty.
The news spread in several cities on the border between Jun and Liang. I really didn’t expect that there is such a relationship between Dongfang Yue and Murong Zhen.”
Ye Ningyu looked at King Yong, "Regardless of what happens to the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, there will definitely be chaos within the Liang Kingdom for a while. The rift between Emperor Liang and Dongfang Yi will become deeper and deeper. For us, this is a good thing
.Our army will be victorious soon, congratulations to Your Highness!"
After saying that, Ye Ningyu knelt down first.
Seeing this, everyone knelt down to congratulate King Yong.
"Hahahahahaha..." King Yong laughed and walked over to help Ye Ningyu up. "It is indeed a good thing. The people in the north no longer have to suffer, and the soldiers no longer have to die."
"I just don't know what the situation is like in Jiading and Heishui City?" Ye Ningyu said worriedly.
King Yong waved his hand, "Don't worry, General Yan and Captain Gu both sent letters this morning, saying that all the Liang troops had withdrawn yesterday. They sent letters to me overnight, saying that they were going to leave the army behind and go back to Yinzhou to fight with each other.
Let's meet up and the king agrees."
"Liang Jun all withdrew yesterday. It seems that Emperor Liang's imperial edict ordering Dongfang Yi to return to the capital was transmitted to Liang Jun's camp at least yesterday. It can be inferred that Dongfang Yue assassinated Murong Zhen at least a few days ago." Ye Ning
Yu Yifan thought about it.
"Who says otherwise? It seems that as soon as Dongfang Yue was released by you, he killed Murong Zhen. Liang Guo may have wanted to hide this matter, but in full view of the public, there is no airtight wall. Eh?" King Xiangyang seemed to remember.
What? He looked at Ye Ningyu and said, "After you kidnapped Dongfang Yue a few days ago, did he do anything unusual? In my opinion, if Dongfang Yue had any brains, he would not kill the Crown Prince of Liang at this time."
Ye Ningyu thought carefully and shook his head slightly. "It's nothing unusual. He just has great mood swings and often makes noises. I thought he was arrogant and unwilling to be taken captive, but he didn't take it to heart."
"That's strange." King Xiangyang frowned and thought, "Could it be that he was really captured before the battle and stimulated him?"
Wu Wenmao stood up with a smile and said, "King Xiangyang, this is not important. The important thing now is to discuss the date when the army will return to the capital."
"Yes, yes!" King Xiangyang slapped his forehead, "When you return to the court, I, an old man, will have to go back to the mountains to clean myself."
"Uncle Huang." King Yong suppressed his smile and looked at King Xiangyang seriously, "Uncle Huang has contributed the most to the defense of the city and also provided food and grass. He should be the main contributor. Otherwise, you and I will do the same."
Let’s go back to the capital together to see my father. He will definitely be very happy. You two brothers have not seen each other for many years.”
King Xiangyang smiled and waved his hand, "I have no merit. I didn't go into battle and I didn't come up with any ideas. You guys deserve more credit. As for returning to the capital..." King Xiangyang looked at the courtyard outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
"Over the years, I have often thought of my imperial brother, but the vassal king cannot return to the capital unless summoned. You and I are in the royal family. We should know that the royal family only has monarchs and ministers, and no brothers."
When everyone heard this, their expressions turned strange, and they turned around as if they had not heard the words.
King Xiangyang really didn't treat them as outsiders. He just talked to King Yong privately about this, but he said it in front of them.
King Yong did not give up and continued to persuade. "But my father has treated the emperor's uncle differently from others since he was a child. What's more, this time the emperor's uncle has devoted himself to helping me defend the city. He will definitely not blame him when he goes back."
There was a rare sincerity in King Yong's eyes.
King Xiangyang patted King Yong on the shoulder and deliberately changed the topic. "Don't talk about me, an old man. Let's discuss the time for your return."
"Your Highness." Zhang Guangda stood up, "Although the Liang army has withdrawn, we cannot guarantee when they will come back. Is it too early to return to the capital this time?"
Wu Wenmao stroked his beard and said, "The crown prince died and the generals committed crimes. The trust between Emperor Liang and the largest family in the Liang Kingdom was completely lost. Not to mention whether Emperor Liang had murderous intentions towards the Dongfang family, just talking about Dongfang Yi.
They will only become more defensive. If you are not careful, you will have to rebel, not to mention that the Liang Kingdom will have a new crown prince. I think this time, even if it doesn’t last for a year and a half, they will not be able to calm down the turmoil. If you want to stay
In the Northern Territory, you can ask His Highness for permission to allocate a group of troops to you. There is a huge shortage of garrison generals in the Northern Territory."
Ye Ningyu nodded in agreement, "Mr. Wu is right. After this incident, how can Emperor Liang dare to let the Dongfang family lead troops to fight again? And Dongfang Yi will definitely not work hard and expand territory for Emperor Liang again.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, so we can just sit back and watch the show."
Wu Wenmao also smiled and nodded, seeming to agree with Ye Ningyu's words.
Zhang Guangda is not a person who likes to argue. These days, he has also noticed that Wu Wenmao always targets him whenever he opens his mouth, regardless of whether what he says is reasonable or not. Zhang Guangda only glances at Wu Wenmao coldly and does not speak.
Ye Ningyu also knows Zhang Guangda's temperament. It's not that he doesn't argue, he just disdains such shouting and arguing. In private, he will definitely seek advice from King Yong.
