Chapter 392 Shame

Chen Ruzhan got on the carriage to greet her, but did not say anything more to Li Chi and the others, doing what they wanted and ignoring others.

She also knew she was going to Jizhou and must know the way, so she didn't plan to follow Li Chi and the others' convoy, so she set out first.

This behavior not only made Li Chi and the others confused, but even Chen Ruyun and the others were confused. She only knew that her sister left Yunyin Mountain every year, and she didn't know what she was going to do.

I asked once, Chen Ruzhan only said that she had done some business, but she didn't expect that there should be someone waiting outside Yunyin Mountain and she could call it at any time.

Li Chi and the others said goodbye to Chen Ruyun and others, because Chen Ruzhan said that no one needed to go, she was enough, so this also cut off the thought of many girls going out to take a look.

It is comfortable, peaceful, and there is no danger here, but some of them want to know what it looks like outside.

If they really go for a trip, it will probably not take long to miss the days of Yunyin Mountain.

After Izumo Yin Mountain, I walked for more than two days before I got on the official road. When I arrived at a crossroads, the carriage that was as deep as a cup in front stopped.

She stopped, and Li Chi and his team also stopped.

Li Chi got out of the car and looked forward, and saw a team of fifty or sixty people waiting at the intersection in front.

These men's equipment seems to be better than Li Chi's team.

Chen Ruzhan did not get off the car. When the men saw the carriage coming, they all dismounted and waited on the side of the road. As soon as the curtains were lifted, everyone bent over to salute.

Chen Ruzhan looked at the people and frowned slightly.

"You are the only ones?"

One of the men replied guiltily: "When the matter was in a hurry, I could only transfer the good men from the two nearby counties to come over. However, the subordinates have sent people to Liangzhou to transfer people and rushed over. It will not be so late to Jizhou than us."

Chen Ruzhan nodded and ordered: "Send a few more people to Liangzhou, transfer the restaurants in several branches in Liangzhou, and also arrive at Jizhou as soon as possible. Wherever you pass, all the sub-colons will be drawn out to Jizhou."

The man in charge immediately lowered his head and said, "I will make arrangements right now."

He straightened up and ordered, "Liu Ying, take two people to Liangzhou and invite the doctor to Jizhou according to the boss's instructions."

"yes!"

The man responded and immediately took two people to leave on horseback without any delay, as if he was executing military orders.

Chen Ruzhan ordered in a plain tone: "Lu Qingluan, take ten people to protect you, and the others go to explore the way forward and arrange your stay and travel."

"yes!"

The man in the lead named ten people and left them. The others immediately turned over and rushed out, and soon disappeared in the distance.

The middle-aged man named Lu Qingluan took ten people to protect the carriage, and the team of Shen Ruzhang set out again.

Li Chi stood there and looked, thinking that this sister was definitely not an ordinary person, and she could train her subordinates to achieve such efficiency, which was really impressive.

Tang Pidian smiled and said, "The people in Yunyin Mountain always seem to be unexpected."

Li Chi nodded and waved his hand to signal the team to follow.

There was no mess along the way, and I went back very smoothly without any turbulence.

When Li Chi and the others passed by Xiaoyao Kingdom, Tang Pidian took a team of people to Xiaoyao Kingdom to get gold and silver, and put them back in three large carts.

These gold and silver seem to be enough for Li Chi and the people on the Nalan grassland to buy horses, but it is not yet time yet.

If so many war horses are brought back to Jizhou, it will immediately cause an uproar, and I don’t know how many people will stare at them.

So Li Chi and Tang Pidian discussed before that when Jizhou was already the territory of Yanshan Camp, Tang Pidian went to see Boritecchina again.

When passing the Nalan Grassland, the herdsmen saw Li Chi and the others.

The team immediately went to report to Bori Tiechi, because Bori Tiechi had already given instructions that Tang Pidian and their team should report to him immediately when they came back.

Li Chi and the others walked for two days. Bori Te Chi came to greet him with his cavalry and escorted Li Chi and the others out of the grassland.

At the same time, the north bank of the Nanping River.

Prince Yu Yang Ji sat in the big tent with a blue face. He had been dazed for a long time when he looked at the map in front of him.

The generals in the tent were silent one by one, no one dared to speak, and they didn't even dare to speak out.

Zeng Ling, the governor of Jizhou, looked carefully at Prince Yu. He wanted to persuade him, but he finally endured it.

After losing streaks, he has lost 50,000 or 60,000 troops and the food and supplies are in a hurry. If he can't defeat Nanpingjiang, he will probably have to return without success.

He had advised Prince Yu to divide his troops to capture Qingzhou, but Prince Yu said that Qingzhou was far away and it was difficult to attack, so it was better to go all out to conquer Yuzhou.

Originally, Prince Yu was still full of energy when he first arrived here because Zeng Ling told him that he had sent someone to persuade General Meng Kedi, Anyang Prefecture, that as soon as the prince's army arrived, Meng Kedi would offer Anyang.

But because of this incident, Prince Yu almost died.

General Meng Kedi of Anyang Prefecture pretended to greet him outside the city gate, and brought a group of officials from Anyang Prefecture. In order to show his sincerity, those who went out to greet Prince Yu were civil officials, and all military generals were waiting in the city.

Meng Kedi sent someone to report to Prince Yu that he welcomed the prince at the city gate with the seal from Anyangzhou.

Prince Yu was not very relieved, so on the agreed day, he sent someone to the gate of Anyangzhou City to take a look.

The officials sent to find that Meng Kedi did not break his promise and took all the civil servants to wait for Prince Yu three miles outside the city gate, and those people did not bring weapons.

Meng Kedi had no soldiers or soldiers around him, only a hundred officials of all sizes, as well as some gentry and prominent tribes in the city, which combined was about three or five hundred.

So the official immediately returned to Prince Yu. Prince Yu came with the team. As soon as he met, Meng Kedi immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground with everyone.

In order to show his affinity, Prince Yu dismounted and helped Meng Kedi. Who would have thought that the seal box that Meng Kedi held contained a dagger.

Meng Kedi stabbed Prince Yu with a knife. Fortunately, Prince Yu wore soft armor in order to ensure that he could even pierce a gap in the soft armor, but at least he saved his life.

Prince Yu was furious and ordered the murder, but the civil servants and gentry were all pretending to be Meng Kedi's confidants, and they hid their weapons in their wide robe and sleeves.

After a fight, although Prince Yu's men killed more than 300 people, almost killing Meng Kedi's men, Meng Kedi fled.

After he ran back to Anyang Prefecture, he ordered a desperate defense. In a furious manner, Prince Yu ordered a fierce attack, but it had been attacking for more than a month and no progress was made.

Anyangzhou is like a wall blocking Prince Yu’s Dameng Road, or a wall of iron. It can’t be beaten down or get around.

It was at this time that Prince Yu learned that the old emperor had already passed away, and Prince Yang Jing had already ascended the throne.

This news made Prince Yu extremely angry and ashamed.

"Zeng Ling."

Prince Yu suddenly called out.

Zeng Ling, the governor of Jizhou, hurriedly stepped out and leaned over and said, "Prince, the minister is here."

Prince Yu frowned and said, "You don't plan to explain?"

He looked at Zeng Ling and said in a cold voice: "I have never blamed you for the Anyangzhou incident. Meng Kedi is a villain and has many tricks. I only deal with the people you sent to see Meng Kedi. Have you ever blamed you?"

Zeng Ling was silent for a moment and knelt down with his robe.

He bowed his head and said, "The minister is guilty."

Prince Yu snorted, his face getting worse and worse.

"Just one sentence? I don't blame you for Anyangzhou. It's because the people below are not doing things well, but what about the capital?"

His voice suddenly became sharp.

"I'll leave everything to you about the capital. Yang Jing's yellow-mouthed child has been in power for more than half a year. Why hasn't any of your people come back to report it?"

Zeng Ling knelt there with his head down, his face changing constantly.

The matters in the capital were obviously controlled by Prince Yu himself and arranged to go to the capital, but they were all Prince Yu's people.

He never wanted to interfere, and he didn't even want to talk to Zeng Lingduo about the capital, because he was afraid that someone would harm him by doing this.

But now they have all pushed Zeng Ling down. How can Zeng Ling not be angry?

He thought carefully for a moment and understood what Prince Yu meant, but Prince Yu couldn't hold on his face.

The army mobilized a large number of troops and failed to capture Anyang Prefecture for more than a month. Tens of thousands of troops were lost, morale was dispersed, and the food and supplies were in a hurry.

It's okay, he raised an army under the banner of the Qing dynasty. Now he knows that the old emperor has long been dead, and Liu Chongxin has also died. The new emperor ascended the throne. What else can he send troops under?

If you continue to fight, you won’t even have a reasonable name.

Prince Yu felt that his face was so ugly that he looked so ugly. Nowadays, many people in the camp were secretly calling him an idiot.

If he didn't find someone to take over this reputation, how could he lead his troops and how could he face his subordinates?

"Subject, guilty!"

Zeng Ling kowtowed again.

Seeing that he did not argue, Prince Yu felt relieved in his heart, so he ordered: "I have high hopes for you and believe it deeply, but you are so careless and careless in your work, and you must not be punished."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Come on, pull him out and beat twenty military sticks."

No one dared to move easily. It was Zeng Ling who was fighting, and the prince's army was Jizhou army. How could this end if he really fought?

Zeng Ling said: "My ministers cannot forgive their crimes, and they are willing to receive punishment."

Seeing that no one moved, he said in a deep voice: "Don't you take action?"

The soldiers outside the door looked at each other, and several people came to help Zeng Ling up, and Zeng Ling turned around outside the tent.

How could those soldiers really beat him? They just acted like a 20th military stick fell down lightly, and even skin injuries would not be left behind.

Prince Yu had made an excuse at this time and pushed everything to Zeng Ling. He pretended that he was still angry and stood up and left.

Outside the military tent, after twenty military sticks were beaten, Zeng Ling stood up and looked at Prince Yu who had already left. Something very complicated in his eyes flashed away.

Prince Yu left, and a group of officials and generals came out and surrounded Zeng Ling. This concern and that concern were lively.

Prince Yu in the distance looked back and his face turned pale, his scalp was a little numb, and his blood surged.

He snorted and quickly left.

At this moment, a cavalry came to report that Cui Yanlai, the governor of Qingzhou, brought an army of 150,000 from the flanks and had arrived at the east of Anyangzhou.

Zeng Ling was panicked when he heard about the military apology. Prince Yu almost killed the entire Cui family. How could Cui Yan give up if he didn't take revenge?

150,000 reinforcements came from Anyang Prefecture. Liu Li, the governor of Yuzhou, has been steadily defending the south bank of the Nanping River without counterattacking. He should be waiting for Cui Yan's army to arrive.

Before, the Qingzhou army was newly defeated and there was no food and grass, so they did not come to attack the Yuzhou army immediately. Now that it is here, it seems that there is no need to worry about food and grass.

Cui Yan arrived, and Liu Li's Yuzhou army was about to counterattack north.

I'm afraid there is no chance of winning this battle.

Zeng Ling was silent for a moment and immediately ordered: "I ordered the entire army to retreat to Jizhou and go and clean up now. I will ask for a meeting with the prince."

He quickly chased Prince Yu, not as if he had just been beaten.
