King Fan was sitting in his room. After three or four days of recuperation, the injuries on his body were no longer serious. They were just flesh wounds.
Seeing Fan Yinqing coming back alone, looking like this again, and not looking too good, King Fan basically already knew the result, and this result was almost expected.
He has three sons in total. The eldest son died many years ago, and the third son is still young, only five years old. He had a son in recent years. Except for Fan Yi and Fan Ji, who have always been loyal to him, he
The most important thing is the son Fan Yinqing. In the second year after the death of his eldest son, he let him inherit the position of the prince of the feudal prince's palace. Now, Fan Yi and Fan Ji have been killed in battle, and he is the only son left.

"Father, it's useless for me. I wanted to persuade Crown Prince Xin to let my father and other vassal kings leave the city, but I didn't want to..."
"I know." King Fan nodded, and there was no need for Fan Yinqing to continue. "My father thought that by uniting all the vassal kings this time, he would be able to eliminate King Li and Xin Moge in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that he was still missing a move.
With just this one move, we lost everything, my father really underestimated Xin Moge."
"Father..."
"If you lose, you lose. Even if you deny it, so what. Yin Qing, Fancheng will be relying on you from now on."
Fan Yinqing looked at King Fan in front of him. He had not seen him for just a few days. He seemed to have aged a lot. There was a hint of depression in his voice. The morale in his heart and the aura exuding from his body were not as good as before. "
Father, don’t worry, Yin Qing swears that Yin Qing will never let you down. I will definitely take you out of Licheng and back to Fancheng."
King Fan smiled, thinking how difficult it was to return to King Fan now, but he did not say it out loud, as he could not bear to betray Fan Yinqing's filial piety.
Half an hour later, Fan Yinqing came out of King Fan's room and immediately returned to Fan Jun's camp outside the city.
After yesterday's battle, General Xu ordered his men to break through unsuccessfully and suffered slight losses. After that, there was no movement. He only sent people to double the security and evacuated about five or six miles away from the city tower. He was also separated from the armies of the vassal kings in front by the same five or six miles.
These five or six miles are a relatively short safe distance for all parties, and it is good for everyone. The armies of each vassal king and Li Cheng sandwiched Cang Jingtian's army in the middle. After yesterday's battle, it was also
There was no movement, and the three parties were all fine for the time being, but the atmosphere remained tense.
-
Fan Jun's camp, the soldiers set up camp temporarily.
After Fan Yinqing came back, he sent someone to notify the generals who were leading the reinforcements from each vassal king. He met with the generals who were leading the reinforcements from each vassal king in Fan's army tent. They briefly talked about the current situation in Licheng and the vassal kings.
Tell everyone that the feudal kings are okay for the time being, so that everyone can feel relieved.
The generals who arrived with reinforcements from each vassal king or the sons of the vassal kings gathered at Fan Jun's camp to discuss for an hour, and then each returned to his own camp.
As night fell, people were sent from the city to ask Generals Fan Yinqing and Xicheng to hand out five thousand men and horses under their respective command, and then set out overnight to recapture the two cities previously occupied by Cang Jingtian's army tonight.
Then the city gate was closed, completely trapping Cang Jingtian's army here.
After Fan Yinqing and General Xicheng received the order, although they were very reluctant, they still acted as ordered.
After the appointment was completed, Fan Yinqing sent Yang Xufan, who had been with him for many years, to lead his troops.
