Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 427 The Desire of the Heart

Under the gaze of many soldiers, Song Yuan did not hide anything.

Be honest with others and tell everyone in front of you your thoughts and concerns with a sincere attitude!

Song Yuan is very particular about treating gentlemen first and villains later.

After all, people's hearts are hidden, and even he has to be on guard against some things!

If it were other matters, Song Yuan might not have such an iron-fisted approach.

Zhenbei Pass is really too important!

Ever since arriving at the border, Song Yuan's biggest worry was that he and his father would one day come to blows.

Only by holding Zhenbei Pass in our hands can we avoid this outcome forever.

In addition to the father-son relationship, what is more important is Song Yuan's submission to the Qin Dynasty.

Once the two of them fight, the ones who will suffer the most are the forces within the Qin Dynasty.

With Song Yuan's attitude, even on the battlefield, he attaches great importance to each of his subordinates.

How could they do something so internally destructive?

If things really develop to that point, the barbarians will only gain an advantage for nothing.

If such a big problem is not eliminated, Song Yuan really doesn't want to do something that will make his relatives sad and his enemies happy!

For a moment, facing Song Yuan's frankness, except for a few people who expressed dissatisfaction, most of the generals nodded in understanding.

Their thoughts were the same as Song Yuan's. If war could be avoided, who would want to wield a butcher knife?

And most importantly, although everyone has announced their allegiance to Song Yuan, in their hearts, they are still people of the Great Qin.

In their view, after Song Yuan's many achievements, the Qin Dynasty finally had some advantages when facing the barbarians.

Moreover, this critical period is the crucial time to recapture the three border cities.

If such a big situation is affected by some unexpected events, no matter who it is, I'm afraid they will be speechless when they go to see their ancestors!

For a while.

Song Yuan's statement has been agreed upon by most people.

Since that was the case, he naturally had no objection. Without saying a word, he immediately replaced the nine generals who had surrendered to him and his close confidants with his own people.

of course.

In Song Yuan's opinion, this approach is only temporary.

The troops he sent out were all elites trained by Huo Jianchuan before, and they were members of the Tiger Guards!

If these people were put on the battlefield, each of them would be a skilled fighter who could fight ten enemies at once. It would be a waste to have them serve as personal guards for these generals.

According to Song Yuan's idea, once the situation stabilizes, these Tiger Guards will naturally be recalled as soon as possible.

Their abilities must not be wasted!

As time passed, two days passed quickly.

In the end, Dugu Xin, with 10,000 Tian soldiers and 10,000 elite soldiers from Zhenbei City, successfully met up with Song Yuan in Zhenbei Pass!

It was not until the moment the army entered the city wall that Song Yuan's anxious heart finally relaxed.

Thinking of his previous fear, Song Yuan clenched his fists lightly.

Although he has already controlled most of the generals, there are still tens of thousands of people in Zhenbei Pass.

The feeling is like dancing on a tightrope. Any slight mistake could result in you being shattered to pieces!

If any of the generals he had previously recruited wanted to rebel and instigated his subordinates, it would be very likely to cause civil unrest in this audience.

Fortunately, Song Yuan’s worries did not come true after all. With the arrival of Dugu Xin, everything became a foregone conclusion!

According to Song Yuan's idea, he only needed to withdraw some of Dugu Xin's men and exchange them with these people, and then transfer some people from the elite troops of Zhenbei Pass to Zhenbei City.

The situation inside the pass has basically stabilized!

When they met, Song Yuan did not hide anything and directly told the whole story.

Recalling the fears of the past, Murong Lie couldn't help but sigh.

"If you ask me, it's all thanks to the prince for taking precautions and blocking the news in advance. Otherwise, if we really wanted to take over Zhenbei Pass, I don't know how much effort it would take!"

In the past two days, Murong Lie was more worried than Song Yuan. He basically stayed awake all night, fearing that something might happen in Zhenbei Guanzhong.

Noticing the fatigue in Murong Lie's eyes, Song Yuan shrugged helplessly!

"From what happened to General Xu, it's easy to see that sometimes, Father's plans are quite brilliant!"

Song Yuan now has a special admiration for his cheap father's political tactics.

"Those generals who opposed us before were all the sons, nephews, and disciples of the officials in the Imperial City. He sent most of them here to ensure their safety and keep them safe. He also ensured that Zhenbei Pass would not obey any orders from the border!"

"I think we did this before to guard against that guy named Wei, but I have to say, this trick is really effective!"

After all, he was the one who stood out from so many princes. His Majesty's military skills might be inferior to Song Yuan's.

But when it comes to political tactics, Song Yuan is probably no match for him!

"Now that Zhenbei Pass is settled, shouldn't we also continue with our plan?"

Murong Lie nodded in agreement, and then spoke up to remind him.

"Your Highness, please don't forget that the three border cities across the Peacock River are still waiting for us to send troops to recapture them!"

"That's right, after wasting so much time, it's time to take action!"

Song Yuan nodded, then smiled bitterly.

"In fact, after the previous chaos, it is no longer meaningful to recapture the three border cities!"

"My biggest concern when negotiating with the Barbarian Princess before was the number of casualties in the process. I didn't expect so many people would die in the end. But this also reminds me that no matter what I do in the future, even with my own people, I should be more cautious!"

For Song Yuan, he had been in the borderland for so long, and breaking out from the three border cities was the most intense war he had ever faced.

In this battle alone, the number of casualties reached tens of thousands!

Although most people successfully returned to the barbarians, countless people shed their blood by the Peacock River.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The most urgent task now is to quickly recapture the border town closest to the Peacock River!"

Murong Lie shook his head with emotion, and then spoke up to remind him.

Among the three cities in Sanbian City, the one closest to the Peacock River is undoubtedly the most important place!

Moreover, spring is about to arrive. Once the water in the Peacock River melts completely, it may not be easy to cross the Peacock River.

As long as we can capture that city, we can then find a way to build a bridge between the two places.

Only in this way can we prevent greater losses.

It is no exaggeration to say that even with Song Yuan's ability, at this point, he has to race against time.

If there is any delay, I am afraid we will miss the opportunity.

"Let's leave tomorrow!"

Song Yuan pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

Even if we know about this matter, we don’t know how many people will die.

But in his position, some things are not voluntary, and he has to do them even if he has to bite the bullet!
