Chapter 64 Compensation
"Reinforcements?!" Jun Jiuning looked over in surprise, and saw that under the bright red army flag gradually approaching the city gate, there were long rows of Chu soldiers riding horses. They gradually cut off the retreat of Zhao's army with an encirclement and encirclement.
The soldiers of Chu who had fought for a night suddenly felt their morale boosted when they saw this, forcing the Zhao soldiers who had already climbed up the city wall to retreat step by step.
King Ning, who brought the army to support, killed the Zhao army's marshal on the horse, cut down the Zhao army flag, raised his arms and shouted: "Master Zhao is dead, you can surrender quickly, and our Chu State can consider spareing you forever!"
Zhao Bing on the battlefield suddenly panicked when he saw this and began to rush around like a headless fly. The originally planned offensive turned into a mess because of no one's command.
It took a short while that Zhao army was surrounded by the energetic Chu soldiers.
At this time, once someone put down his sword and raised his hand to surrender, the remaining people will follow suit.
When the sun rose and the first ray of sunlight shone on the walls of Mincheng, all the soldiers of Zhao surrendered.
The Chu State won a great victory and captured all the remaining 5,000 Zhao soldiers. The head of the main general who was killed by King Ning was also sent by Jun Jiuning to the Zhao Kingdom City.
Jun Jiuning looked at the high back of the horse team in the morning glow with excitement, thinking that this time they would take the opportunity to defeat and bite a piece of meat from Zhao Guo!
The Chu army stayed to clean up the battlefield, and Jun Jiuning and others had already gathered together to discuss the matter of asking Zhao State to cede land and pay compensation.
Everyone was concentrating on fighting the enemy just now, but they only knew that Jun Jiuning had brought the people from the military camp to support him, but they couldn't tell the truth and took care of him. But now when they saw each other face to face, even General Xie could not help but be shocked by Jun Jiuning's appearance.
This dirty and thin figure, where is there any trace of the eldest princess of Chu?
Jun Jiuning's current condition was really in a mess. After fighting all night, her hair was messy, and even a few strands of hair hung on her face. There were a few drops of dry dark red blood on her cheeks, and a deep blood mark on her lips - when she almost couldn't hold on, she bit her to wake herself up.
Only Xie Jinyu, who had always been by Jun Jiuning's side, knew that Jun Jiuning had actually had several knife wounds on his body, and blood was stained on his entire arm. Moreover, Jun Jiuning's right hand that had been holding the knife was also worn out. When he put down the knife just now, Xie Jinyu saw that the handle of the knife had been stained with blood.
But she didn't exclaim a pain, and she kept slashing at the enemy calmly with her already dull knife.
General Xie sighed with relief: "It's good that the princess is fine. I have to thank the princess for bringing the army to help last night. If it weren't for the princess, we might not have been able to support Ning Wang to bring people to support him."
Jun Jiuning secretly hid his palm behind him and smiled stiffly, "General Xie has been awarded, mainly because I didn't cause trouble for everyone."
King Ning came over, looked at her deeply, and smiled at Jun Jiuning: "The emperor's brother is indeed far-sighted and made the decision to send the eldest princess to the frontier to guard the army. Now it seems that the eldest princess has not disappointed the emperor."
He was clearly smiling, and he also admired his eyes when he looked at Jun Jiuning, but for some reason, Jun Jiuning felt a little uncomfortable when facing King Ning, and his heart was slightly chilled.
She had to laugh awkwardly: "It's still a blessing that Uncle Ning arrived in time that we could defeat Zhao State. Of course, I dare not take credit. Being able to defeat Zhao State is still the result of the soldiers."
She didn't want to steal the limelight, so she spoke with a lot of compliments. But once Jun Jiuning did something unnatural, she couldn't help clenching her fist, but for a moment she forgot that her palm was worn out by the rough hilt. With this unintentional force, the wound suddenly collapsed.
The sudden pain in the palm of her hand made Jun Jiuning unable to hold back, and her face changed unexpectedly. She lowered her head and spread her hands and saw that the cracked wound began to bleed again.
Unlucky.
Jun Jiu frowned and thought to himself that it would be painful for several days now.
Xie Jinyu, who was observing her silently, stepped forward and held her arm and pulled her towards the military doctor's tent: "It's better to treat the injuries on the princess as soon as possible. If the injuries on your arm are not handled carefully, it will not be good in the future."
"Hey, wait! But Zhao's compensation has not been discussed yet..."
"My father and Wang Ning will discuss it carefully. Don't worry, they must have more experience in this regard than you..."
Seeing the two figures getting farther and farther away, the expression on King Ning's face faded away little by little. He looked at General Xie, without a trace of joy of victory in his eyes.
"General Xie thinks it is appropriate to ask Zhao State how much compensation is required?"
General Xie raised his eyebrows: "This money is second, and the main thing is the city. According to my husband, it is naturally the most suitable for Zhao State to cut off a territory similar to Min City for Chu State."
Ning Wang snorted and laughed: "I have a big appetite, I'm afraid that Mr. Zhao will not agree."
General Xie looked at King Ning strangely. In the past, King Ning was the most arrogant and wanton. Not to mention a city, he might have to take his people to the Zhao State wall on the battlefield just now.
Then it will not be considered a matter that can be solved by paying a city.
Why did he become abnormal today? Not only did he let him make a bad old man decide, but he also felt that the conditions he proposed were too high?
After all, he was a comrade-in-arms who had been fighting together for many years. After General Xie found something wrong with King Ning, he couldn't help but be careful when he spoke: "Prince, Zhao State invaded the border of Chu State first, and only asked them to pay one city, plus 500,000 taels of silver, isn't it? Our Chu State has lost a lot of elite soldiers in this battle."
Ning Wang was just talking casually. After he met General Xie's somewhat puzzled look, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then whispered: "Forget it, just as you said, let's ask someone to talk. I'm tired of driving, so I won't interfere in this matter. Don't ask anyone to disturb me in the next few days."
After leaving these few words, King Ning turned around and left without any nostalgia.
General Xie couldn't help frowning when he looked at his Xiao Su's back.
Jun Jiuning didn't know that the compensation was decided so sloppy. After Xie Jinyu took her to the military doctor to take medicine, she was always watched by Xie Jinyu and the secret guards around her. She could not run around or move around.
Jun Jiuning was in his tent, looking at the secret guard who stopped the door, and couldn't help but feel annoyed: "I'll just hurt my hand, so I won't go anywhere, right?"
The secret guard was really scared by her unauthorized behavior of running to the front line. At this time, she just wanted to supervise her to recover from her injuries and bring her back to the capital safely.
