Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Sun Yuan didn't show much enthusiasm when he saw Lin Muheng.

In the southwest, he is the biggest.

Even if the prince comes, we must obey his orders.

Lin Muheng looked at his fake smile and knew what he was thinking.

Now is not the time to fight for power. As long as he has the ability to lead troops and win battles, Lin Muheng doesn't mind obeying him.

However, seeing that he had lost two cities in less than a month, Lin Muheng did not think that he was a reliable general.

The Sun family had some capable ancestors, but there were no outstanding descendants.

Fortunately, there was a man named Sun Chun who knew how to use people, which enabled us to survive in the southwest for so many years.

However, Sun Chun was too ambitious and thought that he could enjoy the glory for decades with the support of the Queen Mother. They did not understand the principle of prosperity and decline. They also did not understand the temperament of the emperor.

As a result, the Sun family, who had always been a opportunist, became the first military general to be dealt with by Emperor Rong Sheng.

Lin Muheng sighed inwardly, thinking that the Sun family might be uprooted this time.

The emperor left the Sun family a glimmer of hope because he thought he could use them to guard the country's borders. If they were of no use at all, why would the emperor keep them around?

Sun Yuan didn't realize this.

Looking at his arrogant look, Lin Muheng would think that he had won a great victory if he didn't know better!

However, before Sun Yuan could show off his power in front of Lin Muheng, the imperial edict from the court arrived in the southwest.

The imperial edict reprimanded Sun Yuan for his dereliction of duty and ordered that Sun Yuan be demoted to centurion, and the Southwestern Army be commanded by Lin Muheng.

Sun Yuan was stunned. He never expected the emperor to be so decisive.

Victory and defeat are common in the military, so why can't he just lose a battle?

Lin Muheng looked at Captain Sun and wondered why he didn't know how to be grateful. Given the emperor's temperament, this was a huge gift to him.

This is because the emperor wanted to keep Sun Yuan to check and balance him.

Otherwise he would be killed on the battlefield.

For a time, the Sun family soldiers were in panic.

If I didn't make any contribution in the war, I wonder if the emperor would take revenge on me later.

Lin Muheng took out the seal of the commander, "All soldiers, listen up, losing a battle is not a big deal, what is scary is losing the will to win. Today, I promise here that as long as you bravely fight the enemy, the mistakes you made before will be written off. You will be rewarded according to your merits later."

The soldiers looked at each other, all with faces full of disbelief.

The generals have become centurions, so won't they get some punishment?

One soldier boldly asked: "If we make meritorious contributions, will we also be rewarded?"

"Yes, the court will reward you based on the number of enemy heads killed."

There was a little restlessness in the crowd.

They labeled themselves as members of Sun's army, and thought that since they had lost two cities, they could only make up for it by doing their best, and they dared not ask for any reward based on their merits.

Unexpectedly, Prince Yu did not treat them differently.

Treating the soldiers he brought with him the same way is not something every general can do.

We have seen too many cliques and factions, and the military camp is no exception.

However, with Prince Yu's words, they no longer had any worries.

When the enemy invades, no one wants to be defeated.

There was a problem within the Sun family, and it was not the soldiers' fault.

The soldiers were no longer worried, but it was different for the direct descendants of the Sun family.

They were on tenterhooks.

Sun Yuan became a centurion, and they became ordinary soldiers.

They all have to charge into battle, and if they are not careful, their heads will become a prop for the enemy to reward them.

Sun Yuan was unwilling to accept this, and Sun Chi was even more unwilling to accept this.

When Prince Yu was not here, Sun Chi had to listen to Sun Yuan.

He had stopped Sun Yuan from moving forward rashly.

Sun Yuan didn't listen.

Now that the city has been lost, Sun Yuan can still be a centurion, but he has become an ordinary soldier.

This is not fair.

Sun Chi completely forgot that he wanted to kill Sun Yuan on the battlefield by relying on his status as a direct descendant of the Sun family.

The commander-in-chief was killed by his own people. Isn't this giving credit to the enemy?

Sun Chi didn't care. He was so cruel that he wanted to kill Sun Yuan no matter what means he used.

Lin Muheng couldn't believe that the Sun family had become so rotten.

Dare to do this on the battlefield.

The news Jiang He got was even more shocking. "In the battle of Lufeng Mountain, the Sun family army and the enemy army fought again. Sun Chi took advantage of the chaos and shot an arrow at Sun Yuan. Sun Yuan was unable to dodge and fell to the ground.

The enemy took the opportunity to shout that General Sun was dead. This shout greatly boosted the morale of the enemy. Many people in Sun's army saw General Sun fall to the ground and thought he was really dead. They immediately threw away their armor and fled.

Lin Muheng said angrily: "Bring Sun Chi up here."

I thought it was just intrigue, but they actually shot arrows at their own people in front of the battle line. This is blatant treason.

Sun Yuan always thought that he was shot by an arrow as a conspiracy by the enemy, but he didn't expect that it was Sun Chi who wanted to kill him.

Isn't this treating soldiers' lives as worthless and military discipline as a decoration?

When Sun Chi was brought up, he thought that Prince Yu was going to give him an important task.

He is a direct descendant of the Sun family.

Even though he is just a small soldier now, he can command the support of hundreds of people.

Prince Yu is not stupid and should be able to see the situation clearly.

Arriving at the temporary military tent built by Prince Yu, Jiang He couldn't help but kick him, "Kneel down!"

Sun Chi recognized Jiang He and yelled angrily, "Jiang He, you are looking for death!"

A lazy dandy, relying on his relationship with Prince Yu, shamelessly came here to seek military merits and even dared to take action.

He was tired of living, but he was a soldier fighting desperately on the frontier.

Sun Chi jumped up and was ready to fight Jiang He to the death.

Jiang He did a roundhouse kick and Sun Chi fell to the ground.

"So what if I hit you? I'm going to kill you." Jiang He really wanted to kill him at this moment.

Those are two cities!

The people there are in dire straits.

The Nanning Kingdom has always been merciless in burning, killing, and looting.

Just because of that beast Sun Chi.

Sun Chi was beaten so hard that he was dizzy, his eyes were bloodshot, "Jiang He, even if you have Prince Yu as your backer, you can't go too far."

Jiang He said: "Think about why the prince wants your life?"

Sun Chi was shocked. "What did you say?"

The chill coming from behind him made him uneasy.

He turned around and saw Prince Yu holding a sword, looking at him with cold eyes.

"Prince...Prince!" Sun Chi widened his eyes.

He was panicking, wondering if the prince knew about that.

No.....Impossible...

When he released the arrows, his trusted followers surrounded him, and he killed several soldiers who saw them.

There's no chance the news will leak out.

Thinking of this, Sun Chi felt relieved.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Sun Chi pretended to be calm.

"Sun Chi, you are so brave that you dare to assassinate your comrades on the battlefield." Prince Yu's voice was filled with undisguised anger.

Sun Chi was so scared that he was shaking all over. How could the prince know?

He calmed himself down and thought that without evidence, the prince could not easily convict him.

"Come here, bring him up!" Lin Muheng ordered.

Five burly men were tied up and brought in.

Sun Chi was dumbfounded.

"You...you guys..." Sun Chi stuttered.

These are all his personal soldiers.

They covered up the hidden arrow that Sun Chi shot out of nowhere.

At this time, Sun Yuan was also invited.

Sun Yuan looked completely different from the day Lin Muheng first arrived. He had an untidy beard and a decadent look, without a trace of military spirit.

Lin Muheng frowned.

Sun Yuan looked at Sun Chi, and almost failed to recognize him because of his bruised face and nose.

He looked at Sun Chi suspiciously, then at Lin Muheng, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

After all, we are a family, so naturally we are of the same blood.

The prince has already demoted them to soldiers, is the punishment not over yet?

"Speak!" Jiang He kicked his personal soldier.

The guard looked at Sun Chi and kowtowed, "Master, I'm sorry."

Sun Chi was furious, "How dare you!"

The personal guards no longer looked at him. When their master took out the arrow and pointed it at General Sun, they were shocked.

But they only follow their master's lead.

The master must have his reasons for doing this.

They spontaneously surrounded their master, blocking others' view.

But it was still seen by others.

Those people were so shocked that they forgot to kill the enemy.

The bodyguards decided to kill those people without hesitation.

At this time, the scene became chaotic.

The people behind naturally thought that the enemy had infiltrated their team.

Those people were regarded as spies of the enemy country.

However, General Sun was lucky to have a shoulder injury. At this point, the defeat could not be reversed, and Sun Yuan led his troops to retreat more than a hundred miles, losing two cities.

I watched helplessly as the two cities were engulfed in flames.

This was because many civilians spontaneously burned food to prevent the enemy from looting it.

The personal soldier told the whole story in detail.

Sun Yuan stood there in a daze.

He couldn't believe that Sun Chi would be so cruel.

This is a battlefield, and any grudges can be settled behind closed doors. Daqing was defeated in that battle, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, and the people in the city were living a life worse than death.

Sun Yuan looked around, he rushed to Ye Feng and wanted to draw the sword at his waist.

He had only one thought in his mind: Sun Chi deserved to die and he wanted to kill him.

Ye Feng held the hilt of the sword.

The prince is here, and it is his responsibility to deal with Sun Chi.

Sun Yuan had no choice but to rush forward and punch and kick Sun Chi.

"If Grandfather knew that he had a grandson like you, he would open the coffin lid and beat you to death. Go to hell, do you know how many people you have killed? No wonder you didn't let me charge, it turns out you wanted to kill me yourself, you beast, how could the Sun family have someone as cruel as you......"

Sun Yuan beat and scolded Sun Chi, who ran away in fear with his head in his hands.

"Okay! Take him away and punish him by military law!" Lin Muheng ordered.

Sun Yuan cried like a child, "I was blind, I am guilty. I should have killed him with a knife long ago, and this disaster would not have happened."

Sun Yuan has always felt guilty about losing two cities.

The people there were suffering, and he always thought it was because of his wrong decisions.

Who knew it was Sun Chi's doing.

Sun Chi fell to his knees with a thud, "Please spare my life, my lord!"

Prince Yu glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Drag him away and behead him in public."

The soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged Sun Chi away.

Sun Chi's howling echoed in the sky, making everyone's heart shudder.

Lin Muheng sighed inwardly, the Sun family has become so corrupt and there are constant internal strife. How can such an army win a battle?

At this time, Sun Yuan was standing in the tent like a log. "Beating him with fifty military sticks will be carried out after the battle!"

Lin Muheng spoke.

Sun Yuan failed to judge people and failed to conduct a thorough investigation afterwards, which was a serious dereliction of duty! Fifty military sticks are not unjustified.

"Drag them out and chop them to death!" Lin Muheng pointed at the five personal soldiers. They did not beg for mercy like Sun Chi did, but they were real men and no one begged for mercy.

They knew that begging for mercy was useless, and when they slashed their comrades with their knives, their lives would be taken away sooner or later.

Sun Chi was beheaded in public, and the truth behind the loss of the city was revealed.

The soldiers were outraged.

The general they followed turned out to be such a vicious person.

Seeing the human head hanging on the city wall, the soldiers kept throwing stones.

Finally, only the skull was left hanging on the city wall.

Prince Yu acted decisively to bring Sun Chi out, which boosted the soldiers' spirit of unity to an unprecedented high.

Although most of them followed the generals of the Sun family.

But the backstabbing incident is also hard to accept.

Their common enemy was the State of Nanning, and the people they wanted to kill were the people of Nanning, not their own comrades.

Who doesn’t want to be at home with a wife and children? I work hard here just to protect my family.

What Sun Chi did was simply insane.

There were countless old, weak, women and children in those two cities.

Sun Yuan was beaten with fifty military sticks without complaint. He knew that this was due to the prince's magnanimity.

Now that he was in need of people, the prince had deliberately postponed the execution.

Sun Chi's action was enough to exterminate all nine generations of his clan, but he spared Sun Yuan's life so that he could kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

However, after this incident, the Sun family was completely ruined.

Since they no longer have any value at all, how could the emperor not kill them all?

Although Sun Yuan is very eager for power, he is also a man of blood.

Now, he practices martial arts desperately every day.

He also cooperated with Lin Muheng's deployment.

The trouble that Jiang He was worried about did not happen.

Lin Muheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Sun Yuan became a small centurion, his appeal should not be underestimated.

Lin Muheng did not impose a severe punishment due to this consideration.

Now is the time to recruit people, and everything must be based on fighting the war.

As long as Sun Yuan is willing to lead the troops well, Lin Muheng doesn't mind promoting him again.

As for how the emperor will deal with it in the future, that is his business.

After dealing with Sun Chi and others, Lin Muheng began to think about the next plan.

He knew very well that the corruption within the Sun family had affected the combat effectiveness of the entire army. If it was not rectified, it would be difficult to achieve victory.

So he decided to reorganize Sun's army and reorganize them.

No more passive defense.

Lin Muheng and Jiang He practiced on the sand table countless times.

No breakthrough was found.

At this time Sun Yuan asked for a meeting.

Lin Muheng agreed.

Sun Yuan looked at the sand table and said, "If Your Majesty trusts me, I will go and draw the enemy's attention here."

After saying that, he pointed to a place on the sand table.

Lin Muheng looked over quickly, "Are you sure?"

Sun Yuan nodded solemnly, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"I'll go with you." Jiang He said.

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly, "Vice General Jiang, don't you believe me?"

Jiang He said: "I really can't believe it all."

Jiang He no longer has any trust in the Sun family.

God knows whether Sun Yuan will turn against us.

This is like letting the tiger return to the mountains.

"Let him go!" Lin Muheng said.
