>>>Chapter 201: Wanting his life under the Emperor's fe
ce grotesquely scarred.Even his eyebrows were gone, and his nose had a large, gaping defect. It was clearly the result of being cut with a blade in the past, which then became infected, leaving it loo...When the emperor asked this question, none of the civil and military officials dared to speak.
The enemies in the North Frontier are barbarians who fear nothing, a truly fearless nation. For years, no one has been able to defeat them except for the War God, the Fifth Prince.
So who would dare to go to the northern border at this time This battle was doomed to fail without the War God, the Fifth Prince's, plan!
Seeing no one speak, the Emperor angrily slammed his chair and pointed at the useless protectors, roaring, "Have all our great generals died!"
At this time, the second prince, Mo Yunren, stood up and bowed, "Father, please calm your anger. The generals are not unwilling to fight, but the northern army is not something ordinary people can command. They know that if they go, they will only be sending themselves to death."
The emperor narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean"
"Father, you mustn't forget that it has been the Fifth Brother who has led the Northern Border Army these past years. Whenever his military talisman is displayed, the Northern Border Army listens only to him. Even our empire's generals wouldn't have a say if they rushed to the Northern Border."
The emperor let out a cold laugh, looking at his second son and saying calmly, "So what's your solution"
"Father, enemy nations have always been difficult to deal with. I know you are eager to question my fifth brother about his defeat in the last battle which resulted in the loss of a city. However, with the enemy attacking right now, why not give him a chance to redeem himself!"
Let him continue to fight this time. Not only should he defeat the enemy, but he should also take advantage of this opportunity to reclaim the city that was lost last time. As for the matter of punishment, why not wait for the fifth brother to return to the capital before discussing it After all...the fifth brother is still in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern border.
Mo Yunren's words were implying that he was afraid of punishing Mo Yunjing at the moment. If Mo Yunjing got angry and rebelled, his hundreds of thousands of troops from Beijang would be a huge problem.
It would be better to appease Mo Yunjing first, allowing him to defeat the enemy and reclaim the lost city. Once everything is settled and he returns to the capital, then we can hold him accountable. This way, we can prevent any thoughts of rebellion from taking root.
After all, once he returns to the capital, wouldn't it be easy for the emperor to take his life under his own roof
The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at Mo Yunren for a moment before speaking, "Pass down the imperial decree. Command Mo Yunjing to lead the army and fight with all their might to repel the enemy and reclaim lost territory. If they are defeated, bring their heads to see me!"
At this time, in Beijiang City, Mo Yunjing had already bound up the several officials who had come from the capital.
These so-called officials from the capital, during the last campaign at Mo Yun Jing, either out of their own volition or at the behest of that canine emperor, actually requested to be sent here as military observers. They thought that by being here they could both gain first-hand knowledge of the battlefield situation and prevent Mo Yun Jing from acting arbitrarily.
Mo Yunjing knew his "good" father king was very wary of him wielding military power, trying every means to take back the military talisman from his grasp, but he deliberately wouldn't let him succeed.
After they arrived, Mo Yun Jing had them arranged to live in other parts of the city, not allowing them into the military camp, let alone participating in the war.
But how they managed to sneak into the military camp during that final battle, Mo Yunjing couldn't figure it out besides thinking there was a traitor within the Cloud Army.
At this moment, Yun Yi knelt before Mo Yunjing, one hand raised in greeting. "My lord, it is my incompetence that led to the loss of countless Cloud Army soldiers! Please punish me!"
Mo Yunjing looked at the list he handed over, his face darkening. The list contained the names of the Cloud Army, elite soldiers trained by his Beijang王府. Many names on the list were crossed out, meaning these people had fallen in battle and perished forever!
Over a hundred names were crossed off the list, all elite soldiers. It's clear how devastating their losses were in the last battle!
Mo Yunjing clenched his fists, veins popping on his hands, "What's going on Did you guys fight again"
Yun Yi pursed her lips and spoke in a soft, low voice.
After Mo Yunjing disappeared, the enemy forces attacked again. By then, Yun Yi was just a general and could no longer stop the imperial inspectors sent by the emperor to interfere with the war.
But these officials were all scholars who didn't understand military strategy or battlefield tactics. They had no idea what it meant to march and fight.
So when it came to strategic planning, generals like Yun Yi clashed with these officials from the capital. Each side had their own arguments and battle plans!
Moreover, these officials are carrying imperial edicts, and Yun Yi and the others cannot afford to disregard them.
Thus, such a situation arose: these officials not only criticized Yun Yi and his colleagues' strategic deployment, but also used the emperor's name to pressure them. They even controlled essential wartime supplies like military rations and equipment, holding them hostage. If Yun Yi and his team wanted anything, they had to go through these officials and obtain their approval; otherwise, they would be accused of disobeying imperial orders!
The general was initially unwilling to listen to the military supervisors. However, later, the emperor issued an imperial decree: anyone who disobeyed the orders of these military supervisors would be punished and expelled from the army.
Yun Yi wasn't afraid of leaving here, but this was the Prince's Northern Border army. What right did he have to leave
He firmly believed that the prince would one day return, so he was willing to die to protect the prince's Northern Border Army!
Thus, in the following battles, Yun Yi was still interfered with by those people. After being interfered with, Yun Yi and his men were held back, repeatedly missing opportunities, leading to a chaotic situation in the army. The military was filled with smoke and haze, like a scattered sand, and finally ended up defeated.e of herself.Mo Junyi is just like that, his temperament is the same as Mo Yunjing's. He has always been good at reporting good news but not bad news. What he is going through in the Beijang camp, he...
