Chapter 4: Heading to Fengzhou, Dragon Enters the Sea

As soon as the morning court ended, Ye Xiu returned to his residence in Yuqing Palace and summoned all the servants and said, "Tomorrow I will lead an army of 50,000 to rush to Fengzhou for assistance. My return date is uncertain. Those who are willing to follow me to Fengzhou can stay. Those who are not willing can each receive ten taels of silver. You can go home or do some small business in the capital. Now we say goodbye." After that, he handed the next matter to Xiao Dezi.

For him, he didn't have much feelings for these people, and he didn't know what would happen if they followed him, so he just let them make their own choices.

An hour later, Xiao Dezi reported to Ye Xiu: "Your Highness, everything has been handled."

"Okay, then you can go too. I'll be leaving tomorrow."

"Xiao Dezi is willing to follow His Majesty to Fengzhou."

"You're not afraid of death?" This surprised Ye Xiu.

"Your Highness, I have no father or mother, and I have served Your Highness since I was a child, so I will give my life to Your Highness in this life."

"Okay, then you can follow me to Fengzhou." Ye Xiu didn't waste any time.

The next morning, fifty thousand soldiers were already waiting for Ye Xiu outside the city gate. Not many people came to see them off, not even Emperor Ye came, but Ye Gucheng stood on the city wall and watched everything.

Although Xiao Jing and the prince did not like Ye Xiu, this expedition was a national affair after all, so these 50,000 soldiers were elite and they did not dare to do anything. In order to avoid defeat in this battle, Ye Gucheng let Dugu Ye's grandson Dugu Ba be the vanguard, and the deputy general was Xiao Jing's grandson Xiao Yun. These two were the best of the younger generation.

When Ye Xiu saw the neatly-organized soldiers, he was shocked but also felt a sense of heroism.

"Brothers." When Ye Xiu shouted "Brothers" with all his might, all the soldiers couldn't help but feel moved, because they were all called "soldiers" before, and Ye Xiu didn't know how many people's hearts were captured by his call of "brothers", especially the soldiers at the lowest level. At the same time, Ye Di on the city wall was also stunned.

"Brothers, the enemy is invading us. They are about to trample our land, ravage our compatriots, and kill our people. What do you think we should do?"

"Kill the enemy and protect Ye Country." Even though many people looked down on Ye Xiu, this series of parallels made all the soldiers feel an endless sense of responsibility.

"Whoever offends the State of Ye will be punished, no matter how far away they are; and all the citizens of the State of Ye will be rescued, no matter how far away they are. I hope we can reach Fengzhou in fifteen days this time, brothers, is that possible? 「

"Yes, yes, yes." This time the voice was obviously much louder than the last time, and even the earth was shaking. The sentence "Whoever offends the Ye country will be punished, no matter how far away they are; all the citizens of the Ye country will be rescued, no matter how far away they are." completely ignited the patriotic feelings of the soldiers on the scene.

"Great Ye is mighty." Ye Xiu roared. At this moment, he seemed as if he was really in the midst of war.

"Da Ye is mighty, Daye is mighty..." At this time, the emotions of the soldiers reached a climax, and even Xiao Yun started to roar. Ye Gucheng's eyes on the city wall gleamed with brilliance. Many of the ministers who came to see him off felt a pang in their hearts and said with emotion: "The third prince is going to Fengzhou, just like a dragon returning to the sea or a tiger returning to the mountains. 「

"Set off. "Ye Xiu rode away in the direction of Fengzhou, followed by the 50,000 soldiers who were going on this expedition. Suddenly, the earth shook, dust flew, and the army slowly disappeared from sight.

When Xiao Jing and Ye Xingchen received the news, they regretted it deeply. It turned out that the third prince had been waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity was given to him by themselves.

I wonder if Xiao Yun can bring these soldiers back and prevent them from being left in Fengzhou by Ye Xiu.

"Ah..." Xiao Jing sighed heavily, as if he had aged ten years. Now he could only take one step at a time.
