In fact, Li Xingzai couldn't understand what conspiracy was hidden behind this victory. But he had been wandering for so many years, met many people, witnessed many things, and after looking around, he came to a conclusion.
Nothing good in this world can be obtained easily, and if there is, it can only be bad.
Many important figures in the imperial army gathered in the hall of the city lord's palace, enjoying the joy brought by this war.
"Cheng Dalei is just a reckless man. Those who really know how to fight are deceitful. On the battlefield, the battle is more about strategy rather than brute force." Yu Chili stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes.
a line.
"Now that we have captured Huangsha City, we have occupied Cheng Dalei's base camp. He has become a homeless dog these days and can only escape on the grassland." Cui Xiang said.
"With more force, we can catch all the thieves and eliminate this great trouble for the empire."
Everyone was talking to each other and complimenting each other. In fact, at the beginning, Cheng Dalei was not a serious concern of the empire. The real serious concern was everyone sitting here. Li Xingzai did not participate in their discussion.
Feeling a little bored, he left the hall alone. Everyone was talking about it, but no one noticed Li Xingzai's departure.
The streets outside were busy with soldiers coming and going. They were busy dividing the positions of each soldier and counting the supplies left by Cheng Dalei in the warehouse.
"Your Highness Sixth..."
The identity of Prince Li Xingzai is still useful. No matter where the princes' soldiers come from, they must give him some face. When they see him walking alone on the street, they all stop and salute.
"Oh, what are you busy with?"
"Your Highness, we are transporting the materials from the warehouse."
"Let's go, take me to see it." Li Xingzai suddenly became curious and wanted to see how many things Cheng Dalei left behind.
In the hall of the city lord's palace, everyone was discussing matters, mostly talking to each other.
"Report..." A junior high school student rushed into the hall: "I would like to inform you all, the toad army defeated Lord Li Xing's team in Yangzhou outside the city."
Everyone fell silent, and everyone secretly made a trick to let Li Xing face Cheng Dalei's main force. This was equivalent to selling Li Xing.
After a long silence, Yu Chili sighed: "I should have thought that Cheng Dalei would be so cunning."
Cui Xiang paused for a moment, then continued: "Everyone said that the Yangzhou soldiers were weak in combat effectiveness, but I never expected that they would be so weak. Fifty thousand soldiers were defeated by ten thousand soldiers, and they were beaten to a pulp."
"Yeah yeah."
Everyone laughed as they talked, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.
"Report..." Another messenger from the primary school said: "The team sent out to chase the defeated troops encountered Cheng Dalei's large force on the way, with a total of 2,000 people, and the entire army was wiped out."
"Uh..." Yu Chili was stunned: "The enemy is so powerful?"
"Don't be surprised, General Yuchi. Cheng Dalei will definitely be furious when he knows that Huangsha City has been captured. It is normal for him to defeat our pursuing troops. But in my opinion, the sons of the empire are also brave. If they swallowed such a large team, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
.”
"Yeah yeah."
After everyone heard this, they all hurriedly agreed with Cui Xiang's words, saying that Cheng Dalei was a grasshopper after the autumn and would not be able to jump around for much longer.
"Report..."
When everyone heard this voice, they were subconsciously shocked. They didn't know what bad news would come this time.
"What happened again?"
"Cheng Dalei led a large number of troops towards Huangsha City. We are still twenty miles away from Huangsha City."
"Okay!" Yuchili stood up, snapping the case: "It's a good time for him to come, we will wait for work at leisure, and we will annihilate them all under the city."
boom!
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a loud noise, and felt like the sky was shaking, and dust was falling from the top of their heads. Everyone was in a panic, and finally calmed down.
"What happened?" Yuchili asked angrily.
Someone immediately went out to find out what had just happened. Not long after, someone hurried back and said anxiously: "Dear sirs, there was an explosion in the warehouse and all the supplies were burned. And..."
"what else?"
"His Royal Highness Sixth is also in the fire scene and is now seriously injured."
"What!" Cui Xiang was shocked and immediately stood up from his chair.
"Is it true? Is the injury serious?"
Yu Chili asked, but he was quite happy in his heart. If Li Xingzai died at the explosion site, Li Letian would lose a strong competitor.
Everyone hurried to the warehouse where the incident occurred and saw that the house had collapsed, the embers in the fire scene had not been extinguished, and soldiers were busy putting out the fire.
Someone reported to Yu Chili and others what had just happened. After the soldiers who were responsible for counting the supplies entered the warehouse, they heard a loud bang without knowing what happened to the people inside. This was the situation in front of them.
The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and their corpses were laid out in a mess, making their deaths look horrific.
Of course, these are not what Cui Xiang is concerned about. What he is most concerned about is the situation of Li Xingzai. Cui Xiang, who has always been senile, showed unprecedented vigor and vigor, shouting: "Where is His Highness the Sixth Highness? Where is His Highness the Sixth Highness?"
This is also what Yuchili is concerned about. He is concerned about whether Li Xingzai is dead or not.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister..."
There was a faint sound, and soldiers carried a stretcher and carried Li Xingzai in front of everyone. As Li Xingzai, he naturally did not need to enter the warehouse in person, so he was far away from the scene when the incident occurred.
But he was still hit in the leg by a flying stone, and his left calf was broken. The doctor gave him a simple fix.
Seeing this scene, Cui Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and kept saying: "As long as nothing happens to Your Highness, as long as nothing happens to Your Highness..."
Yu Chili felt a little disappointed, but he just said: "It's fine if nothing happens, it's fine if nothing happens."
But I thought to myself, how could it be okay? Why didn't the stone fall more accurately and smash his head directly. But breaking his leg would be fine, but I don't know if it can be reconnected. Anyway, I have never heard of it, with that cripple.
Emperor's.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. It's important to have peace of mind and recuperate now." Cui Xiang.
Lying on the stretcher, Li Xingzai waved his hand, interrupted Cui Xiang's words, and said: "Prime Minister, withdraw your troops quickly..."
Cui Xiang was startled and said: "Why did your Highness say this? We just occupied this place..."
"I have already asked. All the wells in the city have been blocked, and the warehouses have exploded... This was all arranged by Cheng Dalei before." Li Xingzai grabbed Cui Xiang's hand and said, "Haven't you discovered that it was Cheng Dalei who deliberately let it happen?
The Huangsha City we occupied here was originally a prison prepared for us, or... a tomb."
