Chapter 450: Not as Changeable as People's Hearts
Chapter 450: Not as Changeable as People's Hearts
Border.
Here, Daqing and Simon's troops had just finished a battle.
They won, but there was no particular surprise. After all, they had fought such battles several times in the past few days.
"Erbao, today is your first time on the battlefield. How do you feel?"
Ye Feng looked at the serious-looking boy in armor, his eyes full of relief. This kid looked exactly like the little boy back then when he put on this outfit.
Erbao pursed his lips and said, "I hope we can avoid wars in the future."
Ye Feng was also stunned when he heard his words. Yes, what good can there be from war.
Although they won battles, and they often won, there were still many soldiers who were injured or killed. If they had not fought, they might have been fine.
"Yes, if countries can live in peace, it would be best if they don't fight. But in troubled times, many things are beyond human control. For example, Simon fought because the people in power were ambitious and wanted to seize territory. But in other places, such as Dayu and Yunzhao, they also fought for years. Do you know why?"
"For food?"
"Yes. Due to the climate, the grain production in Dayu is low. Especially in winter, countless people died of starvation or freezing. Yunzhao is close to it, but the climate is suitable and the grain production is extremely high. Tell me, how can we not be jealous?"
"Then we can also trade or barter?"
"It is indeed possible. I have tried it many years ago. But none of those can compare to the fickleness of human nature."
Erbao stopped talking. Yes, it's not that simple. It's hard to guess what those in power are thinking.
After returning to the military camp, the soldiers who had just finished a battle went to rest.
Ye Feng came to the main tent and reported the situation to Chu Chenfeng.
I saw him from a distance, looking very heroic and confident, and said with a smile, "General Ye is still as skilled as ever, and it seems he has won again."
Ye Mingqi and Ye Tianyu were also in the tent at the moment and laughed too.
Ye Tianyu did not hold an official position, and it was Chu Chenfeng who asked him to follow him and listen and see more. Ye Feng and Ye Mingqi were very grateful for this.
At this time, Ye Feng had already arrived at the main tent. He bowed respectfully to Chu Chenfeng and said, "Your Majesty, I won."
Chu Chenfeng smiled and said, "General Ye, you have worked hard."
Several veterans on the side also congratulated him. One of them, General Fang, who was very familiar with Ye Feng, said, "Old General, you are really something. Why do you need to personally participate in such a small battle? Just leave it to us."
"Eh? My old bones will become useless if I don't move, hahaha. But don't worry, the military merits are reserved for you. I have already told the prince about this, and I won't snatch them away, hahaha."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and of course they were very grateful to Ye Feng for being so generous.
"But I won't go tomorrow. I don't know if it's because Duanmu Qing has gotten old or what, but he's not at the same level as he was many years ago. It's too bad."
Chu Chenfeng handed over a secret letter in his hand, "General Ye has a keen eye, and he really can't hide anything from you."
Ye Feng took the letter without knowing what was going on. "What? Duanmu Qing has been unconscious for many days? Who arranged all these days?" Suddenly thinking of something, Ye Feng's expression was not very good. "Could it be Duanmu Huo?"
Ye Mingqi couldn't help laughing, "Yes."
"Damn it, you're wasting my time. I was wondering why you were so easy to beat. I'm not going anymore. I'm not going anymore."
"Let the generals handle the rest. Although Duanmu Huo is not very capable, Simon still has so many soldiers. If he doesn't care, a hard fight will only result in losses for both sides."
"Tsk, why is that old bastard Duanmu Qing so useless? Is there something going on?"
Xing Yi bowed to Ye Feng and said, "It is said that he heard that Duanmu Huo was defeated in Xueling Town, and suddenly he collapsed due to anger."
Ye Feng couldn't believe it, "You are so weak?"
"Uh... maybe I'm really old."
At this time, Ying Yi came in from outside the tent and whispered a few words into Chu Chenfeng's ear.
Chu Chenfeng curled the corners of his lips, haha, it’s finally here.
"Everyone, I have some things to take care of, so I'll go ahead. You guys continue your discussion."
After saying that, he left without looking back, and Xingyi and Yingyi also left. Ye Tianyu wanted to follow but was stopped by Ye Feng, "Why are you following?"
"The prince said I could stay with him and see more."
"That depends on the situation. Your Majesty is obviously busy with something important. Don't just join in the fun."
"Oh fine."
Chu Chenfeng walked neither fast nor slow. He seemed very casual but his speed was not slow at all.
"Can the identity be verified?"
"It has been verified. It is indeed Duanmu Qing's adopted son's personal guard."
"But what did you say?"
"No, he said he wanted to tell the prince in person."
Chu Chenfeng didn't ask any more questions and soon arrived at the other party's tent.
The person who came was a tall and thin young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, but he looked very smart and not unpleasant.
"I, Yu Chunhong, pay my respects to the Regent Prince of Daqing. May His Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Chu Chenfeng slowly walked to the top and sat down.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yu Chunhong stood up respectfully and nodded slightly to Ying Yi and Xing Yi who followed Chu Chenfeng in.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Yu Chunhong took out a letter from his arms and handed it over respectfully.
Xing Yi immediately stepped forward to take the letter, and then handed it to Chu Chenfeng.
"Our major general asked me to hand this letter to His Majesty personally. If His Majesty has a reply, I will take it back."
Chu Chenfeng raised his eyes, "Just delivering a letter?"
"Yes."
"Xingyi, take your people to have a cup of ginger tea to warm up your body. I will reply to you in a quarter of an hour."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the person left, Chu Chenfeng opened the letter and read it quickly.
He looked at Yingyi and said, "Go and ask General Ye."
"Yes."
Ye Feng arrived very quickly. No one knew what the two discussed in the tent, but the reply was quickly handed to Yu Chunhong.
After everyone left, Chu Chenfeng sat alone in the tent, his thoughts drifting away.
If this operation is successful, the war at that pass will soon be over.
I don't know what's going on with Lan'er.

Northern Qi, Left Prime Minister’s Office.
At dinner time, Nalande hurried to Li Mulan's yard again.
"Has the Prime Minister had dinner yet? Do you want to join us?"
Nalande waved his hand. "Um... I have something urgent to discuss with you."
Li Mulan looked at the people at the table, all of them were her own people, "Prime Minister, please feel free to speak."
Nalande glanced at Huo Yuanruo and Li Xiaoqi who were eating quietly, "We have found the secret passages in the Prince's Mansion and Zhuge Wenqing's Mansion, but it is a very large underground palace. There are many experts in it, and we are afraid of alerting the enemy, so we thought... to take two experts with you to investigate."
Li Mulan's eyes also fell on the two young men whose eyes were full of food. She shook her head helplessly, "Why? General Zhennan doesn't have anyone suitable around him?"
Nalande looked a little uncomfortable. "There are masters, but top-notch masters... that's nothing."
