battlefield.
The two armies were at peace with each other.
Li Jinglong led the main force of the Southern Army to retreat to Zhengcunba. The main force of the Yan Army was with Beiping City on the side, forming a triangle.
In this way, Zhu Di could actually take the risk and try to lead the main army back to Beiping City, but he did not dare to do so.
Once they march rashly, the Confederate army will inevitably attack, and it is really hard to say whether they will win or lose.
Furthermore, now that the crisis in Beiping City has been resolved, Zhu Di has no intention of going back for the time being.
Unless the main force of the Confederate army blocking the door of his house was dealt with, he would simply have trouble sleeping and eating!
Li Jinglong's ideas coincided with Zhu Di's.
He just wants to block here and slowly wear down Zhu Di's Yan army.
When the Yan army is demoralized due to food and grass problems, he can defeat it in one go!
By then, whether it is taking Peiping or capturing King Yan, it will be a matter of fingers and a piece of cake.
But Li Jinglong didn't expect that the Yan army would still have food and grass to enter the camp.
He racked his brain and couldn't figure it out, where did Zhu Di get the food and grass?
This is simply impossible!
Beiping Mansion is such a big place.
Most of them are under the control of our own army!
I haven’t heard of any high-quality food production areas in Beiping Prefecture!
After thinking about it, Li Jinglong only came up with a reasonable explanation!
That is, Zhu Di was fishing in the lake, plundering and plundering the food of the people along the way, and then he raised part of the military rations!
This is the only reasonable explanation at the moment, and it is the only possibility!
Li Jinglong immediately became happy when he thought of this, and happily told all the southern generals his thoughts.
Although the Confederate generals were a little skeptical after hearing this, they also agreed with this statement.
After all, food can't just fall from the sky, right?
Therefore, everyone was very happy, and another meal of rainbow farts was served, which made Li Jinglong overjoyed.
Everyone knows that it is not advisable to exhaust the lake for fishing. Yan Jun's behavior is tantamount to self-destruction!
When they can't find food and can't hold on any longer, they are not far from destruction!
Qu Neng was the only one with a worried look on his face, and he had a bold guess in his mind!
There is an immortal in the Western Mountains named Su Yang!
This sudden appearance of food is probably inseparable from the banished immortal Su Yang in Xishan!
Qu Neng became a little anxious when he thought of this.
He asked to lead his army to Xishan to investigate and verify his guess.
However, Li Jinglong didn't believe it at all, and even sneered at Qu Neng's statement!
"Immortal?"
"Is it possible that General Qu Neng has lost his mind and gone crazy?"
"The general is also a veteran on the battlefield, how can he believe such a ridiculous statement?"
Hearing this, Qu Neng turned red with anger and wanted to punch Li Jinglong's head off!
However, given Li Jinglong's status, Qu Neng still didn't dare to take action and could only leave angrily.
Li Jinglong looked at Qu Neng's back, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
This Qu Neng is really getting more and more presumptuous!
If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't be in the current predicament!
Just as Li Jinglong was thinking about how to deal with Qu Neng, the scout suddenly came to report.
"Report——"
"Commander, the baggage army has arrived!"
"What?" Li Jinglong was overjoyed, "That's great!"
"Commander, there is an imperial envoy coming from the imperial court this time. Please come out of the camp immediately to receive him!"
Imperial envoy?
What's happening here?
Li Jinglong was stunned when he heard this, "Who is the imperial envoy?"
"Master Fang, the Imperial Lecturer!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jinglong was shocked and immediately ordered all the generals to follow him out of camp to greet him.
Master Fang, the imperial minister, is a real close minister of the imperial family!
There was only one Hanlin minister named Fang in the Jianwen Dynasty, and that was the imperial master Fang Xiaoru!
Li Jinglong couldn't understand why Fang Xiaoru came here suddenly.
But no matter what he is here for, he deserves to be treated with courtesy.
After all, everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor has high regard for Qi Huangfang and the others, and they can be said to obey their orders!
Li Jinglong didn't want to offend Fang Xiaoru over some trivial matter and end up causing trouble for himself!
Soon the carriage frame came into view, and Fang Xiaoru got off the carriage with a tired look.
Upon seeing this, Li Jinglong immediately stepped forward to greet him, bowed and said in salute: "Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, I have met Fang Gong!"
Fang Xiaoru waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
Then a group of people came to the Chinese army commander's tent. Fang Xiaoru gave Li Jinglong a look, and the latter immediately understood and drove out all the other generals.
It wasn't until they were the only two people left in the handsome tent that Fang Xiaoru spoke quietly.
"Gong Cao Guo, you have done a good job!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jinglong was shocked.
"Fang Gong, how do you say this?"
"His Majesty entrusted you with an important task and ordered you to lead an army of 500,000 people to go on an expedition, but what did you do?"
Fang Xiaoru cursed angrily: "An army of 500,000 people has been attacking Beiping City for nearly two months, but they can't even defeat it!"
"His Majesty was furious after hearing the news. Li Jinglong, you are so disappointing!"
Fang Xiaoru actually called him by his first name, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Jinglong.
When Li Jinglong heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face was as pale as paper.
"Fang Gong, please listen to the general's explanation."
"It's not that the general didn't supervise him well, but that the Crown Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, was too treacherous..."
As expected, Li Jinglong was still a bit clever. He also put all the blame on Zhu Gaochi, which coincided with the ideas of Qi Huangfang and the others.
Fang Xiaoru looked at him deeply and finally nodded.
"Remember this sentence, no matter who asks you again in the future, you must say this!"
"This is how we excused you in front of His Majesty."
Li Jinglong was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him hurriedly and wisely.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Fang! Thank you so much, Mr. Fang!"
"Okay, this time I was originally here for Zhu Gaochi."
Fang Xiaoru mentioned business matters, "According to your opinion, is it possible that Zhu Gaochi will return to the imperial court?"
Li Jinglong was stunned when he heard this and thought about his words.
"Fang Gong, it's unlikely."
"Zhu Gaochi defended Beiping for more than two months, and even personally led his troops to fight at the top of the city!"
"If Zhu Gaochi was willing to surrender, I'm afraid he would have surrendered long ago. Why bother..."
"What if we add the title of King Yan?" Fang Xiaoru smiled slightly, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The title of King Yan?
Your Majesty is preparing to crown Zhu Gaochi as King of Yan?
Li Jinglong was suddenly startled, and his eyes flashed with light.
If Zhu Gaochi surrenders, then Beiping City will naturally be captured!
King Yan Zhu Di will not only become a lost dog, but will also suffer a fatal blow!
"Fang Gong, this plan is very clever!"
"If Zhu Gaochi surrenders, he will have the confidence to destroy Yan Ni!"
Fang Xiaoru smiled after hearing this and nodded with a smile.
"In that case, then send an envoy to Peiping!"
"In addition, it is best to publicize this matter so that everyone knows it!"
Li Jinglong was a little confused. Shouldn't it be best to hide this kind of alienation?
Fang Xiaoru saw his confusion and secretly cursed an idiot.
"Regardless of whether Zhu Gaochi is willing to surrender or not, as long as the traitor Zhu Di learns about this, there will be a rift between the father and his son, which will give our army an opportunity!"
"Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
Li Jinglong finally reacted and laughed twice.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang, General Mo will make arrangements right now."
After walking out of the handsome tent, Li Jinglong wiped the sweat from his forehead.
These civil servants and gentry are really insidious and despicable!
There are so many evil intentions and dirty methods!
Zhu Di, Zhu Di, let’s see how you respond now!
