The place where Wang Division camped was in the north of the city. Looking at Yongzhou from the camp, there was no trace of the war.
Although it is not certain that the entire city defense of Yongzhou is still intact, it is certain that Nong Zhigao's attack on Yongzhou was not fierce.
Zhao Xi was a little confused. How could Nong Zhigao defeat Yongzhou City with its high walls and deep trenches?
Even now, the elite of the King's Army...the Western Army had to start building siege equipment. Di Qing did not dare to say that he could conquer Yongzhou as easily as Nong Zhigao did.
It seemed that everyone was very busy. Zhao Xi was the only one leading the two girls around in the entire military camp.
After a great battle, there were so many trivial matters that followed, and the accompanying group of civil servants were busy non-stop.
There are those who collect the dead soldiers, those who register the number of beheadings, those who organize the construction of siege equipment, and those who manage the entire logistics.
Even Lu Gong and others were summoned. Cao Lin and others were dragged by the Western Army generals to explain the Yafeng attack formation.
I'm just an idler by myself.
Zhao Xi is actually also busy, busy dealing with the two girls' hundreds of thousands of questions.
Since the victory in Quy Nhon Pu, Zhao Qinglan has become more talkative. Together with Su Yan, the two of them are like problem babies. They pester Zhao Xi to tell stories every day... Zhao Xi wants to tell people about One Thousand and One Nights. Come on, but people just listen to stories about Zhao Xi when he was a child.
Zhao Xi decided that he could not be such a busy person and wanted to be really busy.
Therefore, he ordered the logistics to get him bamboo joints, saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal... In a place like Quy Nhon Pu where a crowd gathers, it would be good to play a few thunderbolts.
Zhao Xi forgot to implement this in the guard camp. Fortunately, it's not too late, and the rest should still be useful.
By the way, I also called Su Song back. He is a talented person.
Only then did he get rid of the two girls. He was busy with military preparations. It was hard for the little girls to follow him all the time.
Even if he was serving tea or water, Zhao Xi would intimidate him into not doing so.
I thought I could witness a siege battle, but in the end, Nong Zhigao gave up.
The king's camp had only been set up for seven or eight days, and it was only just ready. The siege posture was set up, the soldiers were mobilized, and they were shouting and preparing for a good siege...
"The thief wants to escape!"
Suddenly thick smoke billowed into the city of Yongzhou, followed by flames shooting into the sky. In broad daylight, the flames could be seen over the city wall.
"Enter the city!"
Di Qing issued the military order without hesitation.
Yu Jing looked at the thick smoke in Yongzhou City, and his eyes felt as if they were choked by the thick smoke. They were red and filled with tears...
After Nong Zhigao was defeated in Quy Nhon Pu, it became clear that he did not have the ability to defend Yongzhou. The so-called Great Southern Kingdom was a joke.
Before the king's army could attack the city, he immediately burned Yongzhou... and escaped.
Yu Jing had to clean up this mess. Those red eyes showed not only hatred for Nong Zhigao, but also pain for the people of Yongzhou.
Zhao Xi only had one thought in his mind: If he doesn’t kill Nong Zhigao, he will never return to the court!
Some concepts are deep-rooted in Zhao Xi's heart. Zhao Xi can still understand that Nong Zhigao used war to resolve his demands because he failed to achieve them.
Even if he grabbed some money, food, treasures, etc., or even killed the recalcitrant generals and officials, Zhao Xi could try to understand it from another perspective.
What are the common people guilty of? This is something Zhao Xi will never tolerate.
The city gate is wide open, and the camp has to be demolished again... If I had known that Nong Zhigao was so cowardly, everyone should have stood here and frightened him.
Not to mention a waste of money and food, it is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.
There was chaos in Yongzhou City at this time. Even if they knew that the people were busy putting out the fire and the guard camp was on alert, no one was sure whether Nong Zhigao would leave any remnants and dead soldiers behind.
Zhao Xi's face was livid, he had never been so angry in these years.
The fire was so strong that it had spread from the government office to the surrounding areas. Starting from the Yimen of the government office, the government offices, offices, offices and other public buildings on the left and right sides were all burning.
The only way to fight the fire at this time is to watch the fire burn at the center point and try to avoid the spread of the fire.
As for the government office, it can't be saved, and it will be in a mess even if it is saved.
The government office of a state capital is usually located at the core of a city, surrounded by mostly shops, and this is also the case in Yongzhou.
Looking at the merchants beating their chests and beating their feet, and the women and children crying, Zhao Xi's face became even more gloomy, and the palms of his clenched hands almost broke.
"Your Highness, Bachelor Yu, please move to the academy."
The only place in Yongzhou City that can handle official business is the academy.
Zhao Xi glanced at the person coming, closed his eyes again, and finally took a final look at the chaotic situation in the government office... Someone was maintaining order and organizing firefighting.
Although Zhao Xi felt that officials should be present at this time, even if they could not help put out the fire, they could still encourage those who were working hard to put out the fire.
But this is the way this era is. The fire was lit by Nong Zhigao, so it doesn’t bother them. None of them are the parents of Yongzhou...
All the people from the Guangnan Yamen were in the courtyard of the academy, seeming to be watching something and talking non-stop.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness, this corpse was found in the back hall of the government office..."
Zhao Xi looked at the ground...oh, it was a dead body wearing a dragon robe.
"This person must be that thief Nong Zhigao!"
"The rebellion between Nong and thieves has been decided! The accomplices have been killed! The first offender..."
Zhao Xi was very irritable and couldn't explain clearly. He was already in a very depressed mood, but when he arrived at the academy, he saw such retarded remarks.
Even if the credit is due, it is also the credit of the coach Di Qing. He just drank the soup. As for such a despicable act?
Do you really want to enjoy singing and dancing? Are you so anxious?
"Is Nong Zhigao stupid? Or does he have a lot of free time? When the army is approaching, he still has time to show off in this outfit before escaping? Can he feel what it's like to be an emperor?"
"Can you think about it with your brain? The peace in Guangnan is not something you think about in your head. It is achieved by the soldiers with their swords and guns."
"Don't take anything for granted! Is this Nong Zhigao? Just say it's him? If Nong Zhigao appears in a different place, can you take the responsibility?"
Zhao Xi just finished speaking in such a rapid-fire manner, using such country slang that scholars are not ashamed of, and went straight to the back hall without paying any attention to the dumbfounded look of a group of people.
Everyone was stunned, not only by His Highness the Crown Prince's slang, but also by His Highness's attitude.
His Highness the Crown Prince has always been friendly and rarely quarreled with others, and he did not even say harsh words.
It seems that His Royal Highness should follow the official family. Today is...
"Your Highness is angry because of the trouble in Yongzhou, and his words seem to be inappropriate. Don't worry about it. However, what Your Highness said is absolutely true. The matter of the beheading of the thief will not be reported to the court for the time being. After some time, the news from all parties is confirmed, and then
Make a conclusion."
Yu Jing is still a good old man. Although he was cheated by His Highness, he still relieved these civil servants for His Highness.
This is almost equivalent to calling everyone a bunch of idiots, they are all elites, who can stand it?
Di Qing had been explaining to people for a long time, but no one took his words seriously. Just these few words from His Highness... Di Qing wanted to laugh.
