"The military situation is urgent. I still have some things I want to discuss with General Luan Bu. I think we can skip the drinking and chatting!"
When Liu Deng set out from Jinyang, he had already sent out more than a dozen teams of scouts.
At this time, he was waiting for news from the scouts.
Although the casualties this time were all people of Yan State, in the end they were all subjects of the Han Dynasty.
If their deaths were really just because of the Wuhuan people, Liu Deng would naturally raise an army to avenge them.
But if there was another reason for their deaths, Liu Deng was not willing to let the person behind the scenes go.
"My father is already waiting in the palace. If your Majesty doesn't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain here..."
Liu Dingguo was obviously stunned, but then he reacted and hurriedly said with a smile again.
"There's nothing difficult to explain. Prince, just tell the truth! It's about military affairs, which is more important. Do you need to say this?"
Liu Deng rolled his eyes at him, then got on his horse and drove away.
The guards around him hurriedly pursued him under the leadership of Shunzi, leaving Liu Dingguo where he was.
Li Guang is naturally responsible for setting up camp. The terrain outside Jicheng is vast. Isn't it easy to find a place to camp?
"this……"
Liu Dingguo looked at Li Guang with a troubled expression. Although Li Guang's status was not as good as that of Liu Deng, he could still be regarded as a marquis. Since Liu Deng was gone, he could only find a way to drag Li Guang over to support the scene.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Guang turned his head and left without saying a word.
"Master Marquis, walk slowly, Master Marquis!"
Liu Dingguo has another plan today. If Li Guang and the others don't go today, there will really be a group of people missing at this intersection.
"His Royal Highness, is there anything else you want to do?"
Although Li Guang was not willing to talk nonsense with him here, after all, Liu Deng had already left. Didn't this make Liu Deng's attitude clear?
He is Liu Deng's most capable assistant. At this time, he naturally knows what to do.
"His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't have time tonight, so why not ask the Marquis to come with me?"
Liu Dingguo said with a smile.
"His Highness has also seen that my camp is busy with military affairs and there is really no time to spend there. I am afraid that I will live up to His Highness's kindness!"
After Li Guang finished speaking, he turned his head towards him and left.
Although Liu Dingguo was depressed, he couldn't do anything with them.
In desperation, he could only leave sadly.
After getting rid of Liu Dingguo, Liu Deng came all the way to Beicheng.
Under Jicheng, there is a vast plain.
Liu Deng quickly found Luan Bu's camp.
"Your Majesty, why are you here in person?"
When he heard that Liu Deng was coming, Luan Bu hurried out to greet him.
"Why can't I come? General, you don't have any beautiful girls hidden in the camp, right?"
Liu Deng said half-jokingly.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. With my appearance, if I hide a beautiful girl, I can't scare that girl to death!"
"Hahahaha! That's not necessarily the case!"
Luan Bu looked handsome, but he had been stabbed in the face, so there was a scar on his face.
At the beginning, he was worried about it, but as time went by, he became relieved.
After all, he is a military commander!
If there are no scars on this body, is he still a military commander?
"The general arrived first, but what did you see?"
Luan Bu accompanied Liu Deng all the way to the commander's tent, and asked Liu Deng to sit at the top. He sat at the bottom. He also had tea brought up. After a few pleasantries, Liu Deng asked again.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
Luan Bu also asked with a smile.
"Don't you know what I'm talking about, general? Don't be careless here, there are only two of us here, let's open the skylight and speak clearly!"
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Liu Deng didn't believe that someone like Luan Bu would not investigate in secret.
"The king is indeed the king!"
Having said this, Luan Bu naturally could no longer pretend to be confused. He smiled wryly, cupped his hands towards Liu Deng and said with a smile.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The expression on Liu Deng's face also became serious.
"This is what I found out here. Please take a look, Your Majesty!"
After Luan Bu finished speaking, he took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
After Liu Deng took it with a smile, he just glanced at it and his expression turned serious.
"Is there any evidence for this?"
Liu Deng asked with an ugly expression.
"The king is joking, how can there be any evidence for this kind of thing? They are like a piece of iron barrel. They only say that they are outmatched and have to retreat..."
"His Royal Highness King Yan is really interesting. This is the first time I have seen someone dare to put robbers into his own home!"
Liu Deng said with a sneer.
"I have heard some different news. It is said that His Highness King Yan's second son is so talented that His Highness King Yan has the intention to change his mind..."
Luan Bu whispered in Liu Deng's ear in a low voice.
"This is Yan State's own business and I have no control over it. However, although we are here to help in the war, we can't just do this bloody and desperate thing, right? We have to fight our own battles on our own!"
"What the king said is that in the end, everything will be done only by the king!"
After Luan Bu finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Liu Deng.
As Liu Deng said, the main body of the battle they came to assist in the battle was still Yan soldiers.
They were just auxiliaries, and those who rushed forward to fight in a bloody battle had to be their own soldiers from the Yan Kingdom.
Luan Bu's note listed in detail the casualties of the defenders in various parts of Yan State.
The situation obtained by Ye Yijian was basically the same. Except for the deaths of the garrison soldiers in the forts along the way, the remaining defenders actually retreated without any losses.
Rather than saying that the Wuhuan people destroyed the city, it is better to say that they gave up on their own initiative...
That is to say, Liu Deng has no actual evidence in his hands. Otherwise, now he really wants to photograph the evidence on King Yan's face!
"Have the grain, fodder and weapons deployed from the Yan Kingdom arrived?"
The more I thought about this, the more frustrated I became. If I counted the time, the scouts I sent there should be back in the next two days. It was useless to say anything before they came back, so Liu Deng changed the topic.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan said that the food and grass issue will be resolved within three days, but they hope that we will go north immediately, march without end, and force the Wuhuan people to withdraw!"
"Tell him that the army should not go ahead before the food and grass arrive!"
