Ten days later, Liu Deng finally rushed back to Jinyang City again.
At this moment, Li Guang was already waiting here with his army.
Although the Huns do not show any signs of invading, the defense in Yanmen City must not be relaxed, so Liu Deng does not plan to use all Modao Army this time.
Only a thousand-man team was mobilized from Yanmen City, and the main force was still the Shenwu Army.
The gunpowder camp has been expanded again, and the total number of people now reaches more than 5,000.
In order to win by surprise, Liu Deng took away half of the 5,000 gunpowder camp this time.
As for the cavalry, Liu Deng decided to go out in full force this time to give them a chance to practice. After all, compared with the real Huns, the combat effectiveness of these Wuhuan people is undoubtedly much weaker.
In addition, with the Shenwu Army on hand, even if something happens, there is still a chance to respond.
"Your Majesty, everything in the army is ready! It's just..."
When Li Guang was halfway through speaking, he hesitated to speak.
"Just what?"
"General Wang Chong, I don't know where I got the news. Now he is waiting for the king outside the city with two thousand cavalry. He said he wants to go on an expedition with the king..."
Hearing what Li Guang said, Liu Deng was stunned.
"Although the late emperor has promised to allow them to remove their armor and return to their fields, if they gather again, the king may be criticized..."
Seeing Liu Deng's uncertain expression, Li Guang's voice became softer and softer when he spoke.
"Go tell General Wang. I appreciate his kindness, but if he wants to participate in this battle, his team will be broken up. This is the limit of what I can do..."
Liu Deng hesitated for a moment and then said.
In fact, Wang Chong and the others would have such a choice, and Liu Deng had already expected it. This kind of thing was normal. People like Wang Chong and the others had been working hard for a lifetime, and they were asked to go back to farming when they were old.
It may feel fresh for a day or two, but after a month or two it starts to feel a little boring. After another three or five months, I feel uncomfortable all over my body.
Some people are destined to serve in the military, and regardless of their purpose, it is enough to just say that they are willing to fight for Liu Deng.
"promise!"
"It's getting late today. Let's rest for the night. The army will set out early tomorrow morning!"
Thanks to the Huns, each member of Liu Deng's Shenwu Army was equipped with war horses.
In addition, this time the battle was within the territory of the Han Dynasty, the logistical pressure on Liu Deng's side was suddenly reduced a lot.
Moreover, they are fighting as a guest army. Naturally, King Liu Jia of Yan is responsible for the supply of food and grass. Each soldier only needs to carry his own food and grass for ten days.
"promise!"
Li Guang responded again, and then went down to prepare. However, as soon as Li Guang's front foot left, the back foot followed quickly to report.
"Your Majesty, Ye Yijian is here!"
"Let him in!"
Now that the military situation is urgent, Liu Deng also wants to get some useful information from Ye Yijian.
"How is the situation over there in Yan State?"
As soon as Ye Yijian entered the door, Liu Deng got to the point directly.
"Your Majesty, something seems not quite right!"
As Ye Yijian spoke, he took out a thick pile of information from his sleeve.
"Not quite right? What's wrong?"
Liu Deng took it casually and asked while flipping through it.
"Look, Your Majesty, this is the number of military and civilian casualties reported from Yan State!"
Seeing Liu Deng's doubtful eyes, Ye Yijian came closer. Detailed translation. Those documents.
Following his instructions, Liu Deng also discovered that something was not quite right.
"So many people were killed and injured, why are there only so few soldiers killed? Where are the defenders of Yan State? Why are there no casualties of the defenders from various places?"
According to the information reported from Yan State, the number of dead and injured people combined was close to one hundred thousand.
However, the number of casualties among the Yan Kingdom's defenders was less than 500 casualties in the forts in various places...
"I'm afraid there is only one situation in which something like this would happen..."
Ye Yijian lowered his voice and said.
"You mean they ran away without a fight?"
Liu Deng suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Besides this situation, I'm afraid there is no other explanation..."
After Ye Yijian finished speaking, he became silent, and Liu Deng's expression became extremely ugly.
"Continue to pay attention to the situation in the Yan Kingdom. If anything happens, report to me at any time. If such a thing really happens, I think he, the King of Yan, has finished his work..."
As a prince, he naturally has the responsibility to defend his territory.
After raising so many troops, they don’t think about how to protect their home and country during the war, but instead think about protecting themselves. What is the use of such an army?
"My lord, I heard..."
When Ye Yijian said this, he hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, there are only two of us here, what are we doing?"
Liu Deng frowned and glanced at him with some displeasure.
"I heard that Prince Liu Dingguo of King Yan seemed to have an affair with King Yan's concubine, and he also liked that style. It is said that he even stuffed several of his male favorites into the defenders everywhere... "
Ye Yijian hesitated for a moment, and then directly told a shocking piece of gossip.
"Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Liu Deng was stunned. No wonder Ye Yijian hesitated. This kind of thing is really unbelievable.
"There is no evidence, but this kind of thing is always easy, especially since his identity is so sensitive..."
"Don't say this kind of thing again!"
Currently, Liu Deng is too lazy to waste energy on things that have no real evidence.
"promise!"
Ye Yijian responded and did not continue.
"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, you should go back and rest first. After I leave, I will leave it to you to handle the affairs in Jinyang City. Mr. Feng should have three to five days to go. What will happen in the future? , you can contact him directly!”
Because of the appearance of Liu Deng, Feng Jing's fate has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the original history, Feng Jing should have died while serving as the governor of Yanmen, but now that he has been promoted to the state minister of Dai, he has naturally escaped that disaster.
Liu Deng had absolute trust in Feng Jing.
After all, a national scholar naturally has the character of a national scholar.
Based on Feng Jing's personality and character, as well as his recent performance, having him serve as the prime minister is indeed an added advantage for Liu Deng.
"promise!"
Ye Yijian responded, then turned and walked away.
"Liu Jia, Liu Jia, please don't let me down, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind..."
After Ye Yijian left, Liu Deng's face turned gloomy.
