"The man who was blocking the entrance to the hall with a sword and was beaten to death by General Cao just now is the king's uncle, the actual person in charge of the Dian Kingdom!"
"Oh! No wonder all the ministers inside surrendered as soon as he died. They are all leaderless emotionally!"
After Xiao He's explanation, Yingbu immediately understood.
"So, we can't find the king of Dian!"
Cao Shen suddenly felt regretful.
"That's right!"
Xiao He nodded firmly.
A half-crazy person will either die in the war or be captured. The best outcome is to mix among the common people and become a subject of Da Qin in the future!
"Okay! Don't waste time on him. Send the order. After all the troops in the Dian Kingdom are cleared, clean the battlefield, seize the time, and go to Yelang!"
Cao Shen immediately issued the order.
"General, maybe we don't have to rush to Yelang!"
Xiao He smiled lightly.
"Oh? What do you mean by this?"
Cao Shen was puzzled.
"According to what those ministers said, they have asked Yelang for help. If the prediction is correct, they should be able to arrive in the next few days!"
"how many?"
Before Han Xin could speak, Yingbu approached Xiao He with eyes as bright as bells and asked enthusiastically.
This boy is a natural warrior. Whenever he hears there is a war, his head will be sharpened!
"It is said that Yelang agreed to send 50,000 troops!"
"Haha! No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince said that Yelang was arrogant and thought he could compete with our Great Qin by sending 50,000 troops? He really overestimated his capabilities!"
Yingbu looked contemptuous and mocked.
"Yelang is a relatively powerful country in the Southwest Yi area, with at least 100,000 troops, and their king has never traveled far. We should forgive him for his shallow knowledge!"
Cao Shen said seriously.
"Oh! Yes, yes, yes, just like the word His Royal Highness once said... called... what is a frog called?"
"The frog in the well!"
Xiao He added with a smile.
"Yes, yes, that's the frog in the well! Their king of Yelang, just like that frog, has never been out. I thought he was the biggest in the world!"
Yingbu mocked.
"In that case, let's wait for them for two days and let them come back...!"
Cao Shen smiled indifferently and continued: "Yingbu, you personally take people to check the terrain near the Dian Kingdom, and then find out the only way for Yelang's reinforcements to pass!"
"yes!"
Yingbu got the order, he cupped his hands in a serious manner, and turned around to do it.
"General, are you planning to set up an ambush?"
According to the order, Xiao He speculated.
"Exactly!"
Cao Shen nodded.
They took the initiative to deliver this to his door, so he doesn't have to be polite!
Let’s defeat this team first and see how arrogant King Yelang can be.
While Yingbu was exploring the detailed terrain, Cao Shen led his men to clean the battlefield, count the prisoners and trophies, and sent people to transport them to Xianyang!
Their current location is very awkward, not close to Nanhai County, but also very far from Longxi County, so there is no train that can reach them directly, and they can only rely on horse-drawn carriages!
If they set off at this time, even if they capture Yelang, the loot will probably not reach Xianyang!
Also sent back were victory reports and war details written by war correspondents.
It was written in it together with the incident of the king of Dian being crazy!
Yingbu left and did not return until early the next morning.
"Ouch! I've been starving to death this night!"
As soon as we entered the city, we caught up with the soldiers for breakfast.
Yingbu got off his horse and without saying a word, he first gave himself a bowl of porridge, and then grabbed four or five buns and held them in his arms!
The other people accompanying him did the same thing. They immediately rushed to the porridge pot after dismounting!
"Yingbu, you kid, don't just sit around eating. Tell us quickly, where are those guys from Yelang Kingdom? We're all waiting!"
"No! I'm still waiting for them to increase their military exploits!"
"Yes! Will they be able to arrive before dark? After a night's rest, we are full of energy now...!"
Seeing that he was only focused on eating, the soldiers were so anxious that they surrounded him.
"What...are you in such a hurry...!"
Yingbu was so hungry that he stuffed a fist-sized bun directly into his mouth. His cheeks were bulging and he spoke in a vague way. He mumbled a lot, and the soldiers didn't understand a few words.
"Sure! Just swallow it before you speak. We didn't understand a word!"
Instead of listening to these vague words, it is really better to wait a little longer.
After muttering for a long time, they became even more confused.
After a while, a bowl of porridge was eaten, and the buns in his arms were almost eaten. Yingbu originally wanted to take some more, but was stopped by the soldiers, "Stop it! There is a lot of porridge, it's all over." I’ll keep it for you, tell us quickly where this Yelang army is, so we can be prepared!”
"Hey! Forget it, those guys are as slow as a snail. Don't count on them today. If they can get there tomorrow night, they will be considered fast!"
Speaking of Yelang's army, Yingbu licked a few grains of rice hanging on the edge of the bowl and said disdainfully.
"What? We have to wait until tomorrow night?"
After hearing this, the soldiers felt disappointed.
"This is pretty fast. We were watching them walking down there on the mountain, and we roughly estimated that it only takes five or six miles in one hour! If we don't speed up, we won't be able to get there tomorrow night!"
One of the accompanying soldiers spoke.
"What? It's only five or six miles in an hour? Are they here to rescue us? Are they out to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
"I think this Yelang may not really be here to support you. I'm afraid he just wants to watch the excitement and conserve his strength, right?"
"Yeah! It's very possible! When we destroy the Dian Kingdom and they destroy us, then the entire southwestern barbarians will belong to them Yelang!"
"Humph! What a pity! Their wishful thinking was wrong...!"
After learning about their marching speed, the soldiers kept making guesses.
Hearing the noise, Cao Zhen and Xiao He also came over.
"Do you know their marching route?"
"General Cao, don't worry while I'm doing the work Yingbu!"
After speaking, Yingbu took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which he drew some winding lines, as well as some bulges and depressions, representing mountains, rivers and rivers. Here comes the bowl of porridge, what I just had is not enough to stuff my teeth!"
"go Go!"
Cao Shen nodded.
Yingbu usually has an astonishing appetite. After breakfast yesterday, he went to the Dian Kingdom. After taking the Dian Kingdom, he was sent to explore the terrain. So far, he has not eaten anything for a day and a night.
At this time, I was so hungry that my chest was touching my back!
"Hey! Thank you General Cao!"
Yingbu smiled naively, held the bowl in his hands, and ran away quickly.
