Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 317 The war begins

Silent all night.

At dawn the next day, everyone set out on their journey home.

However, just when everyone had just returned to Mohai City, Huo Jianchuan, with an excited look on his face, brought Song Yuan great news!

Previously, Song Yuan sent out all the Gold Saints to ambush the barbarians.

They were divided into several groups to place the explosives they had developed before.

While Song Yuan was relaxing, several groups of people returned one after another.

Up to now, the Saints that Song Yuan had sent out before were only missing one group of people!

Such a hero naturally received attention first!

"Those who came back didn't have any injuries, but they were exhausted due to the cold weather. They will probably need to rest for a while if they want to recover!" Huo Jianchuan said with a smile.

Song Yuan waved his hand and said, "Each of them is a great hero. They can rest as long as they want!"

For Song Yuan, the current Golden Saint has temporarily lost its use.

Since the barbarians have not taken any action yet, Song Yuan has not yet figured out how to accommodate them.

The other party has paid a lot before, so why not take this time to let them relax.

However, upon hearing that there was still a group of people who had not returned, Song Yuan did not immediately send people to look for them.

after all.

A bloody battle is about to begin, and with a storm raging, how can one be distracted?

Next time the barbarians make any move, it will be a life-threatening move. Even Song Yuan must be prepared in advance!

Although it has been said before that a great victory similar to the one in the Land of Divine Punishment may never happen again, Song Yuan will naturally spare no effort if it can reduce the losses.

After coming to the frontier and paying so much, I finally got this little fortune.

No matter what, I can't squander all these things!

In order to achieve this goal, Song Yuan did not bother to adjust his state and immediately plunged into the busy work.

And after such a long wait, the group of people who had disappeared finally returned safely.

At this point, the battle in the Land of Divine Punishment has come to an end!

With rare zero casualties, Song Yuan severely damaged tens of thousands of barbarian troops in one fell swoop, and even the barbarian's eldest prince was killed!

If such a feat were to be publicized, it would probably shock the government and the public immediately.

Even since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, who could do this?

But it's a pity that because Song Yuan had lied about military intelligence before, the specific casualties naturally cannot be made public.

Even so, the people around Song Yuan were still proud of themselves.

After all, he had set a precedent. Apart from the team led by Song Yuan, who else could do this?

Such a great victory adds a touch of joy to the upcoming year-end.

There was a smile on everyone's face.

Song Yuan even returned to his mansion from Beidaying three days in advance, just to be able to get together with the people in the mansion and make dumplings for a meal.

Today, Song Yuan's family is wealthy and powerful, with nearly a hundred people working in his mansion alone.

According to the tradition of the Qin Dynasty, dumplings are an indispensable item. Naturally, we should take this opportunity to make more, and then the whole palace will celebrate together.

This is how it will be lively!

But ideas are ideas and reality is reality. Song Yuan has a lot of theories about making dumplings in his mind.

But when he really took the stage, the dumplings he made always looked weird.

But fortunately, with the support of Situ Jing and Fatty Zhao, two clumsy people, Song Yuan's dumplings looked much more exquisite!

Among all the people, Ye Xuan is the most clever and skillful.

Not only is he much faster at making dumplings than others, but the dumplings he makes are also uniform in size, like exquisite works of art.

Seeing Ye Xuan talking about interesting things with everyone but her hands never stopped moving, Song Yuan was suddenly stunned, and an evil idea popped up in his mind.

Eat the best dumplings, play the most beautiful...

Just thinking of the first half of the sentence, Song Yuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, revealing an obscene smile.

"Making dumplings, what are you doing? I think you have some dirty thoughts on your mind again."

Situ Jing, who was standing by, noticed the change in Song Yuan's expression and immediately shouted angrily, slapping Song Yuan in the face with the dumpling wrapper in her hand.

Song Yuan was startled by the sudden action. After peeling off the dumpling wrapper, he spoke seriously.

"Stop spitting bloody words at me! I was clearly thinking about important military matters just now!"

"Bullshit!" Situ Jing glared at Song Yuan with a vicious look: "You were staring at my sister-in-law's hand just now, and the expression on your face was so obscene. How dare you say that? I was too embarrassed to scold you!"

"Yes, I saw it too!" Fatty Zhao on the side immediately nodded in agreement.

Faced with such teasing, Ye Xuan's face immediately turned red with embarrassment: "You guys can make a fuss all you want, but don't involve me!"

"If you ask me, what a person thinks in his mind is what he looks like when he looks at others!" Song Yuan immediately fought back.

"When I looked at my sister-in-law's hands, I was just thinking about when I could have such good skills as hers. But in your eyes, it has become a different thing!"

"It's obvious that you have improper thoughts, so you find everything you see wrong!"

Faced with Song Yuan's questioning, Situ Jing was immediately furious. He clenched his fists and was about to judge Song Yuan.

But before Situ Jing could get closer, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Quick, take us to see His Highness. There is urgent military information, and it involves serious matters!"

These words reached Song Yuan's ears from a distance, and immediately made his heart skip a beat.

Ye Xuan, who originally had a calm expression, suddenly trembled and the dumplings in her hands fell to the ground.

Such sudden news can only mean one thing.

There is a high possibility of some movement on the barbarian side!

With the coming New Year, I’m afraid we may not be able to reunite!

Just when everyone was in a panic, Wang Chao had already hurried into the room with a messenger.

"Meet the prince!"

The other party bowed to Song Yuan the first time he saw him.

Song Yuan waved his hand hurriedly, "Stop talking nonsense, it's already late, hurry up and tell me what military intelligence is going on!"

After receiving the order and hearing these words, he finally took out a token from his pocket and spoke with a serious expression.

"A barbarian army of 150,000 crossed the Peacock River early yesterday morning and attacked our troops stationed there!"

"Now, the enemy has successfully broken through and divided their troops into three groups, surrounding the military camp in front of Zhenbei City!"

"Now the general has issued an order. Mohai City is on standby at all times. All commanders, return to the barracks immediately!"

"Anyone who neglects this will be executed immediately!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed color and frowned tightly.

The barbarians' actions this time were extremely bold.

They actually dared to take the initiative to attack!

Even breaking through the front directly, choosing such a tough method!

A total of 150,000 soldiers and horses... Just from this number of people it is enough to see the determination of the barbarians this time!

More importantly, where did the other side get so many troops in such a short period of time?

This kind of operation is simply unbelievable!

Looking at the token in his hand without the need for handing it over, he quickly took it out and then asked with a serious face.

"Tell me, what exactly were the barbarians' arrangements before, and what are the casualties of our army at the front!"

The messenger immediately responded, "Your Highness, the 30,000 defenders stationed by the Peacock River lost most of their forces in the clash with the barbarians. However, the barbarians also paid a heavy price!"

After all, occupying the high ground on the shore gives us the advantage of time and place.

But even so, the barbarians still launched a surprise attack, which is enough to prove that the barbarians have completely given up this time!

Even in the face of greater losses, they still disregard the cost and are fearless, just to achieve their goals.

This is the only way to completely defeat the 30,000-strong team before reinforcements arrive!

Even later, the defenders from all sides got the news and came to the Peacock River, trying to regain the control they had lost before.

However, they were still gradually retreating in the face of the barbarians' fearless charge, and could only watch the other side successfully cross the river!

The barbarians gathered together and became even more arrogant.

The reinforcements were defeated and forced to retreat to the military camp that had been built long ago.

Today, the barbarian army is divided into three routes.

One of them surrounded the military camp on the left and the other on the right.

As for the last wave of people, they gathered twenty miles northwest.

Doing so is equivalent to completely cutting off the military camp's connection with all other aspects.

The military camp that housed tens of thousands of generals was completely turned into an isolated city!

"No... Is it true that the barbarians are only stationed there to defend and haven't sent anyone to attack in other directions?"

After listening to the whole story, Song Yuan frowned and immediately discovered a detail.

The messenger immediately responded, "Not according to the military intelligence we have. The barbarians have already set up camp and are clearly trying to trap everyone in the camp to death!"

"Then how did General Wei arrange it?"

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. I'm only responsible for delivering the message. As for what General Wei is thinking, I have no idea!"

"Then let me ask you, is Wei Da okay now?" Seeing that the other party didn't know anything, Song Yuan's pupils suddenly showed a bit of anxiety.

When Wei Da met Song Yuan before, he told Song Yuan that he was currently commanding the troops in the military camp in front of Zhenbei City.

Song Yuan was naturally worried about what had happened to the military camp.

The messenger responded, "I have heard about this matter. General Wei was only slightly injured, but he defended himself in time and retreated back to the barracks!"

After receiving such an answer, Song Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand at the person in front of him and said, "Alright, you can go back!"

After saying this, Song Yuan immediately called his men and gave an order.

"Everyone follow me and head to Beidaying immediately!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Situ Jing was no exception. She quickly stood up and chased after Song Yuan.

Watching everyone leave, even Jinlian couldn't sit still for a moment. She turned around and said to Ye Xuan, "I'll trouble you with the welfare matters, Auntie. Let's go first!"

Faced with such a situation, even though Ye Xuan was worried, she had to nod her head.

He slowly stood up and watched everyone leave!

Although Ye Xuan has followed Song Yuan for such a long time and has always been handling miscellaneous matters in the mansion, he also knows a thing or two about military intelligence.

The barbarians seem to be keeping their troops inactive, but in fact they are suspected of targeting Mohai City everywhere.

The troops are divided into three groups and can attack in all directions at any time when the opportunity is right.

Now that this New Year is coming to an end, I’m afraid I’m destined not to be able to spend it well!

Seeing everyone's figures disappear from her sight, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh with some regret.

"Alas, I was hoping for a reunion, but in the end, the barbarians didn't give me a chance!"

"Aunt, do you think the barbarians will choose us as their next target?"

Aware of the current environment, Fatty Zhao shrank his neck and a look of worry appeared on his face.

Even the voice was trembling at this moment!

The fat man's appearance instantly caused Bai Lingqi's body beside him to tremble violently.

"Why are you shaking here? Even if you're scared, it's not your turn!"

"If those barbarians really attack, you won't even be able to fight on the battlefield. Look at how cowardly you are, yet you keep shouting about making great achievements. Stop embarrassing yourself!"

"I..." Faced with such accusations, the fat man's face turned red.

In order to maintain his image, he stiffened his neck and said, "Who said I was scared? Would I be afraid of those beasts? That's a joke!"

"I'm just afraid that the war will affect my business. I want to be the richest man!"

Bai Ling no longer had the heart to argue with the fat man. She turned around and looked out the door with some worry.

I prayed silently in my heart.

Everyone must return safely!

Even after the New Year, as long as everyone is there, we can make up for it then!
