Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 515.2: Returning in Triumph, Sacrificing Blood to the Heavens

West Xiongnu Daxian Wang, both his arms and legs were broken, unable to exert strength. Even if sitting, he still lost his majestic presence, yet his gaze nevertheless fixedly stared at Jin Qinwang, “Sure enough, it was you, Qi Yuan’s sixth imperial prince, Jin Qinwang, Li Hong Yuan!” His voice carried certainty.

Daxian Wang although was a very confident and even conceited of a person, he didn’t believe that he was just unstoppable and invincible. He was further clear about ‘the winners getting crowned as kings, the losers named as bandits’. Getting taken prisoner, getting killed, he actually long had the resolution. However, when it really came to this moment, he was still very unwilling to resign and exceptionally resentful, especially having lost unknowingly, feeling both vexed and sullen.

Li Hong Yuan was still nonchalant, understanding the other party’s meaning, but it was unable to cause the slightest threat towards him. However, the more it was like this, the greater the psychological pressure brought about. After all, the unknown usually made one fear more than what appeared on the surface.

“To end up as such today, this prince also has nothing to say. Right now, just want to know, exactly what happened. General Fu, probably due to your authority, didn’t give this prince an answer, so asking Jin Qinwang to generously inform. That way, this prince can also die contentedly.”

“Whether you die contentedly or not, what does it have to do with this prince?”

Li Hong Yuan’s expression was still indifferent, but these words, in Daxian Wang’s ears, felt endlessly mocking, and further from within, made out the other party’s contempt towards him. Even if having already become a prisoner, this attitude still made Daxian Wang glare in anger.

The more haughty of a person, the more they were unable to tolerate others looking down on them.

However, what kind of person was the living Enma? Would he care about other people’s attitude? The enemy that caused quite a bit of trouble for him in the past life, looking at him now, was also nothing much.

When Daxian Wang got taken out, he was hysterical, just wanting to receive an answer from Li Hong Yuan’s mouth. However, the Daxian Wang that was no longer taken seriously by the living Enma, what difference was he from the other insignificant people? As such, even if Daxian Wang shouted through his lungs, it was still impossible to get what he wanted. That’s why, he was destined to die with grievances.

Speaking of which, Daxian Wang was also considered thoroughly disposed of. It was impossible for Qi Yuan to enlist an enemy by offering amnesty, and naturally, it was also impossible to have peace talks with West Xiongnu, letting West Xiongnu spend money to have the person redeemed back. For someone like Daxian Wang, dying was more valuable than using him to exchange for things from West Xiongnu. Releasing the tiger back into the mountains, leaving behind future troubles, this kind of thing, only someone with water in their brains would do.

Li Hong Yuan’s trip to the northwest this time, half of the reason was because of Daxian Wang. Now that he has already achieved his goal, the other half……alright, it can also be considered accomplished as well. As such, they can prepared to return to the capital, returning to take care of some other people.

The blockade between the northwest and the capital was fully lifted. Fu Yun Ting wrote a voluminous memorandum, sending back to the capital first.

TN: All

However, the movements on this side didn’t stop. Don’t forget, Li Hong Yuan’s goal at the time was to directly break into West Xiongnu’s interior, thoroughly crippling them. That’s why, merely just having them driven out was still far from enough.

Fu Yun Ting reorganized the northwest troops, deeply entering West Xiongnu. Qin Tian Ming rushed over from Tianmen Pass, leading people to clean up the remaining West Xiongnu troops inside Qi Yuan. That’s why, it was precisely cleaning up, not leaving any survivors. The captives right now were already enough.

Xiongnu although can be considered the entire population all soldiers, but the truly strong ones were still just that many. The West Xiongnu soldiers that Daxian Wang brought out already exceeded half. As such, facing Qi Yuan’s army, even if vigorously resisting, the final outcome still didn’t yield much results. After all, it was impossible to have all the remaining forces gathered entirely, just like how it was impossible for Qi Yuan to summon all the troops to attack West Xiongnu. Its borders similarly had enemy countries.

Fu Yun Ting, like breaking dry wood, forced the West Xiongnu royal court to repeatedly retreat outward.

This time, it was Qi Yuan’s turn to raise war with war. When West Xiongnu invaded Qi Yuan, they’d plundered the people, killing countless people. Right now, it was just taking it all back————A tooth for a tooth, paying blood with blood!

Getting cornered this miserably, to say whether or not the West Xiongnu King regretted at this time, that was certain. Even if he can’t learn about Daxian Wang’s current situation from his own channels, Qi Yuan’s side certainly was willing to tell him, clearly letting you know, you got played with, got schemed against, letting you regret, letting you feel ashamed, letting you produce fear inside.

Making the people restless, swaying the army’s morale, this method couldn’t be more common.

North Xiongnu also wasn’t idle. Several decades ago, when they’d gotten beaten miserably by Qi Yuan, didn’t West Xiongnu similarly throw stones at them, occupying vast stretches of North Xiongnu’s territory. At this time, it was naturally just returning the favor. As for the previous alliance, what was that? It had long gotten tossed beyond the clouds. When West Xiongnu had secretly plundered North Xiongnu behind their backs, it was already like so. Although they might’ve already realized that perhaps they’d gotten used in this matter, but so what? Qi Yuan already can’t be blocked. To face Qi Yuan, it was undoubtedly just striking a stone with an egg, so naturally they need to take the opportunity to loot some benefits for themselves. As for whether or not they will become Qi Yuan’s next target, that was just later talks. Right now, they didn’t want to contemplate. Whether it’d be ‘stealing the bell while covering the ears’, or just plainly deceiving oneself, so be it.

As Fu Yun Ting led the army a thousand miles deep into West Xiongnu, the imperial court finally received the specifics of the northwest———–The memorandum presented up had gotten deliberately slowed down by Fu Yun Ting.

Aside from Le Cheng Emperor, the others not one wasn’t dancing with joy.

Fu Yun Ting’s memorandum just said that West Xiongnu had attempted to use a scheme to drive a wedge between the Northwest Army and the imperial court. Fu Yun Ting thus had the idea to just use their scheme against them, sealing off the northwest, and then sow discord, letting West Xiongnu’s interior fall into disorder, thoroughly cutting off their alliance with North Xiongnu. As the saying goes, ‘when the general was out, sometimes unable to receive the ruler’s order’, so asking his Majesty to forgive and so on.

At present, Qi Yuan’s army already had Xiongnu’s army entirely driven out, and never mind taking back the large stretches of territory that Qi Yuan had lost, they instead even occupied West Xiongnu’s territory, expanding Qi Yuan’s borders.

With such contributions, can Le Cheng Emperor, under the premise of not ruining his own reputation, exterminate Fu Yun Ting and execute his whole family?

Regardless of how Le Cheng Emperor felt about Fu Yun Ting, as an emperor, even if not having ambitions, the country expanding while under one’s rule, that was just a meritorious feat. As such, aside from unrestrainable anger, he also had the same joy as the others, and these two extreme moods greatly contradicted. In front of the high ministers, it was still okay, but in front of the inner court attendants, that was just a moment of joy, and a moment of violent anger, making one suspect what was wrong with Le Cheng Emperor.

Towards the northwest’s war, they only learned that they’d obtained a complete victory, and that West Xiongnu was utterly defeated, just like North Xiongnu back then. However, the specifics were still unknown, and can only wait until the troops return to learn more.

Le Cheng Emperor had always thought that his arrangements were still considered pretty good, even if not completely flawless. And because the others didn’t know, it wasn’t too possible for it to have leaked out. Yet now, it instead gave him the complete opposite outcome. Exactly which segment met with problems?

Le Cheng Emperor had never considered the possibility of Li Su Yan also betraying him, and his own son being that mastermind behind the scenes.

Setting aside everything else, there was one thing that needed to be done, the people of Wu’an Marquis Manor needed to be released as soon as possible. Le Cheng Emperor right now was also ‘very clear of the situation’, even specifically letting Shu Consort Qin have the womenfolk summoned into the palace to appease.

Shu Consort Qin’s situation right now was still pretty good. It can be seen that the Imperial Noble Consort was also fine. Shu Consort Qin in reality worked for Li Hong Yuan, so towards the matter of appeasing, she naturally put in all her thoughts.
