The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 244 The Birth of a Son

Five days later, the two armies set out separately.

These two armies, one was the Xiongnu army led by Huo Qubing, preparing to return to the Western Xiongnu.

Along the way was the army led by Yue Fei, pointing their sword at Tubo.

The two armies each had 100,000 men, and each had 40,000 Arab prisoners of war.

People have the same fate but different destinies, and this is the case with these 80,000 prisoners of war.

The 40,000 captives that Huo Qubing took with him were brought back to the Western Xiongnu to enrich the population, so these people would survive.

But the 40,000 prisoners of war that Yue Fei took away were used as cannon fodder, and their only fate was death.

"General Yue, remember, after conquering Tubo, kill all the Tubo nobles!"

"All temples must be destroyed! Not a single one must be left."

Ning Quan gave instructions before leaving.

Tubo is still a slave society. If Tubo is to be brought under rule, the slave system must be changed.

If one wants to completely change all this, the nobles and temples must be cleansed.

"I understand, Your Highness, don't worry."

Yue Fei responded solemnly.

Yue Fei certainly understood Ning Quan's meaning, and he also hated slavery.

The two armies parted ways and headed in different directions.

.......................

Ten days later.

In the imperial study in the capital of Daqian.

"What? He wants to sell me hundreds of thousands of Arab prisoners of war?"

Looking at the memorial in his hand, Ning Yuanwu exclaimed in surprise.

Ning Quan destroyed the coalition forces in a short period of time, causing his plan to fail, which made him extremely upset these days.

But in the blink of an eye, Ning Quan did this and actually wanted to sell the Arab prisoners of war to him.

His son really doesn't play by the rules.

Isn’t he afraid that if he gets the prisoners, they will turn around and attack him?

Ning Yuanwu couldn't figure it out.

But he didn't have time to think too much.

Because he really needed these prisoners of war.

If he could get these prisoners of war, he would have sufficient troops available and he could march south to capture Xuzhou and Huainan.

"Convey my decree, agreeing to accept the Arab prisoners."

"The handover location is in Wuwei, and the Wuwei Jiedushi is responsible for it."

"Also summon the King of Silla, and have Princess Kim Hyo-joo of Silla marry the Ninth Prince, Ningquan."

Ning Yuanwu ordered in a deep voice.

"According to the decree."

The eunuch retreated immediately.

...........

at the same time.

In the Tubo territory, an army of more than 100,000 was marching on the grassland.

The army had 150,000 to 160,000 men, led by a tall and thin middle-aged man.

This man was none other than the Tibetan Emperor Ashina She'er.

Upon learning that Yue Fei was leading his troops to attack, Ashina She'er was furious and immediately mobilized an army of 150,000 to prepare for battle.

After the last defeat in the attack on Hexi, Ashina She'er has been stepping up preparations for war.

Now, more than half a year has passed, and Tubo has finally recovered some of its vitality and is able to fight.

Ashina She'er originally did not want to initiate a decisive battle with Yue Fei. Relying on the city to defend it was the best strategy.

But there was no way. After Yue Fei's army entered Tubo, all the nobles were slaughtered and all the temples were burned down wherever they went.

This move caused complaints from Tibetan nobles and temples.

If he doesn't take the initiative to send troops, there will be a rebellion.

.......

at the same time

Xizhou City, inside Ning Quan’s residence.

With the cry of a baby, Li Wanyue successfully gave birth to a baby boy.

Ning Quan finally had a son.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"Congratulations, sir."

"Congratulations, husband."

.........

The ministers including Aruna, Kim Hyo-joo and others offered their congratulations.

“Hahaha, thank you very much, thank you everyone.”

Ning Quan held the baby in his arms and laughed.

The birth of his son made him feel that his life seemed much more complete.

This is the eldest son and his future successor.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work."

Ning Quan said as he looked at Li Wanyue lying on the bed.

"It's not hard for me. To be able to give birth to a son for my husband, it's worth it no matter how hard it is."

Li Wanyue smiled.

Li Wanyue was also very happy. She gave birth to Ning Quan's eldest son, and from then on she could rest assured.

“You!”

Ning Quan gently scratched his wife's forehead and said lovingly.

"Husband, my sister just gave birth and needs a good rest. Let's go out."

At this time, Kim Hyo-joo reminded.

“Yeah, right.”

"Wanyue, have a good rest."

Ning Quan nodded quickly.

"Yes, husband."

Li Wanyue smiled weakly.

Then Ning Quan left the room.

"Come here, pass the word down. I'm going to have a big banquet to celebrate today!"

Arriving at the front hall, Ning Quan gave the order happily.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Everyone bowed and responded.

.........

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the house.

"Ma'am, look how soundly our son is sleeping."

Ning Quan looked at his sleeping son and said with a smile.

“Yes.”

Li Wanyue stroked her son's tender cheek and spoke gently.

"Madam, our son is so handsome. He will definitely be a top talent and inherit the throne in the future."

Ning Quan looked at Li Wanyue and said with a smile.

"Of course. He's your son, so of course he can't be any worse."

Li Wanyue said angrily.

"Madam is right. This is my son. He will definitely be a good person in the future."

Ning Quan flattered him.

"Husband, have you not decided on a name for your son yet?"

Li Wanyue asked.

"I've made up my mind, let's call him Ning Ping'an!"

Ning Quan thought for a moment and said.

"Um."

"This is a good name. I hope he will live a peaceful life."

Li Wanyue praised with a smile.

"Your Highness, there is news from the capital."

Just then, a guard's voice came from outside the door.

"explain."

Ning Quan said.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has issued an edict approving the purchase of prisoners of war. Your Highness is ordered to immediately escort the prisoners to Wuwei."

"In addition, His Majesty has also agreed to the marriage between Your Highness and the Princess, and has issued a decree to the King of Silla to select an auspicious date for the wedding."

The guards outside the door reported quickly.

"Oh, really? That's great."

Ning Quan was overjoyed when he heard the report. He didn't expect both things to go so smoothly.

"Husband, congratulations, you can officially marry my sister!"

Li Wanyue looked at Ning Quan and smiled.

"Yeah, but thank you for that too."

Ning Quan looked at Li Wanyue and said seriously.

"Why thank me? This is my duty as a concubine."

"Husband, go tell your sister the good news. I'm sure she will be very happy."

"Also, my husband, please hurry up and go to Silla to marry my sister as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more troubles!"

Li Wanyue said with a smile.

"Madam, you are absolutely right."

"But if we go to Silla, I don't know how long it will take."

"You just gave birth, and I can't be with you again."

Ning Quan said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. We are an old married couple. My sister's affairs are more important!"

"Okay, once I've dealt with the prisoners of war, I'll leave in the next few days and try to get back as early as possible."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Um."

Li Wanyue nodded.
