Chapter 153 What a lucky life! He actually survived.
"Hahaha, Master, look! Qin Yue, the dignified commander of the Imperial Guard of the Great Qian Dynasty, has actually wet himself in fear?"
Seeing this, Chen Nan frowned.
Gao Shun's calm voice came down: "My lord, is something wrong?"
Chen Nan shook his head and said, "Although Qin Yue doesn't have any particularly outstanding abilities."
"After all, he followed the late emperor through bloodshed and turmoil. Such a person has long since disregarded life and death. How could he possibly be so scared by Yuan Shen's knife?"
"My lord, why don't we capture him and bring him back to the city for interrogation?" Gao Shun suggested after thinking for a long time.
"No, Qin Yue must return to Daqian!" Chen Nan wasn't stupid; capturing Qin Yue would not only bring no benefit but would also cause a lot of trouble.
At this moment, Chen Nan was even considering whether to give the Truth Pill directly to Qin Yue.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Liu Bangua knew more.
He waved his hand helplessly: "Yuan Shen, don't scare him. I said I wouldn't kill him this time."
It wasn't until Chen Nan gave the order that the feeling of death that had been lingering in Qin Yue's mind slowly dissipated.
After releasing Qin Yue, Yuan Shen went straight to Chen Nan, knelt down, and said, "Yuan Shen greets the young master!"
Just now, Qin Yue truly felt the killing intent.
Although he had accompanied the late emperor on his campaigns, he also said that it was all in the past.
Now he not only has a happy family, but also serves as the commander of Wu Fengluan's Imperial Guard.
He can be considered one of the few people who accompanied the late emperor and had a good ending.
With a better life, who would want to fight and kill? At least he wouldn't.
Previously, with Chen Nan present, the generals of the Great Qian Dynasty had nothing to worry about.
Qin Yue was left with a leisurely life. In name, he was the commander of Wu Fengluan's Imperial Guard, but in reality, it was just a sinecure. He didn't need to do anything on a daily basis.
That's why you lost your composure like that just now.
He never expected that, despite Chen Nan's orders, his subordinates would still dare to threaten him in this way.
Because of Yuan Shen's threat earlier, Qin Yue dared not speak recklessly anymore, and just quietly looked at Chen Nan, waiting for his next order.
Perhaps because the two commanders stopped talking, the soldiers under their command ceased fighting.
They also knew that whether to fight or make peace next was entirely up to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and stood opposite Qin Yue. He said softly, "Qin Yue, tell your people to surrender. I can give them a quick death!"
His voice was very soft and gentle, but that very soft voice instantly decided the life and death of 90,000 people.
Qin Yue seemed to have all her strength drained away, and she involuntarily staggered back two steps, barely managing to steady herself. With a tone of negotiation, she asked, "Your Highness, is there really no other way?"
"We, the Great Qian, can either pay compensation or withdraw from this joint operation."
"I will send people to Qingping Pass and Suzhou to inform them to withdraw immediately and never interfere in the war between your countries again!"
"I'm sorry, but I want the world to see that anyone who intends to offend the Northern Wei must have the courage to bear the consequences!"
"These people were killed because of you!"
"Please trouble the general to go back and tell Wu Fengluan that I, Chen Nan, have long since severed ties with the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Never let personal grudges affect the nation, otherwise, the future of the Great Qian Dynasty will only be destruction!"
After this battle, Chen Nan had a better understanding of the system.
At first, he served as a subject to assist the Empress Dowager of Northern Wei.
The rewards the system gave him were all rewards given to his subjects.
But this time it was completely different. With the Empress Dowager falling into a coma, the Northern Wei Dynasty was plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
In addition, he single-handedly fought against an army of 100,000, and the system saved him from the brink of death.
They completely treated him as the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty, that supreme king, and raised him to be.
The rewards they gave were all armor, food, and military officers!
The life of the Empress Dowager of Northern Wei may have vanished along with the disappearance of the Resurrection Pill at that moment.
"Your Highness, is there really no room for negotiation?"
Qin Yue's voice was trembling with tears, and there was a hint of pleading in it.
He knew very well that Wu Fengluan would never give up on targeting Chen Nan.
But the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't withstand any more turmoil.
This expedition has completely drained the nation's strength.
The next expedition will require new conscription and training, and even if they work overtime, it will still take three to five months.
Even so, the trainees were nothing more than new recruits.
As a general, he naturally knew that on the battlefield, new recruits without veterans to lead them would be nothing more than a disorganized mess.
No blood needed to be shed; the sound of enemy drums and the sheer force of galloping horses were enough to shatter the faith of these new recruits.
Chen Nan said resolutely, "Stop talking. I have already made up my mind. These 100,000 people must die!"
"So you don't need to have any illusions!"
"Of course, if you're afraid of being implicated if you go back, you can stay here if you wish!"
It's important to understand that Chen Nan simply didn't want to kill him, not that he was afraid to.
"I……"
Qin Yue stumbled backward again, this time without the strength to stand up again, and collapsed to the ground.
"I am willing to order a surrender!"
In the end, Qin Yue had to give in to reality.
He didn't want his family to worry about him, so abandoning the soldiers was a helpless decision.
But what he saw as a helpless act was just an excuse he made for himself.
Gao Shun spat on the ground and muttered, "Weak and spineless coward!"
Chen Sheng went even further, grinning as he approached Qin Yue, squatted down, and slapped her hard on the cheek: "You're so lucky to still be alive!"
"If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to live anymore!"
He remembered that the first thing Chen Nan taught him was morale.
If morale collapses, the army is doomed.
Qin Yue is now completely throwing her own troops' morale to the ground, and not only that, she's personally trampling and ravaging it...
"Since you've chosen to surrender, stop talking and start doing things. Quickly have your men lay down their weapons so we can finish up the mess!"
"I……"
At this moment, Qin Yue fell silent.
Is he really going to lead his troops to surrender? Is he really going to become the eternal sinner of the Great Qian Dynasty?
He seemed to have forgotten that they had 100,000 men, while the other side had only 10,000 at most.
Is this still the same Qin Yue who accompanied the late emperor on his campaigns?
Is this still the same Qin Yue who proclaimed that the advantage was in her hands?
Chen Nan looked down at Qin Yue, who was slumped in the snow, his face full of disdain.
However, he did not urge him, but waited quietly.
Perhaps what he wanted to see was Qin Yue standing up and resisting, and that would make him look at him with more respect.
Unfortunately……
