Liu Wencai immediately said: "Okay, leave the urn of fire oil and the merged shield to me. I wish you, brother, rest assured that they will be taken care of!"

When Liu Wencai accepted this mission, he no longer needed to go to the battlefield. This was Zhu Xiuyuan's original intention.

Zhu Xiuyuan was about to say a few more words to ease the tense atmosphere.

Suddenly, a messenger broke into the back hall of the Yamen and delivered a piece of bad news: "Master Governor, Master Sima, and all of you... something bad has happened. Pengze County... has been conquered by the Yan army. The county magistrate, county magistrate and other officials

, have all been beheaded by the Yan army, and their heads are hanging on the city gate of Pengze County..."

This is really bad news!

Everyone who listened was horrified.

Pengze County is under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, and further west is the boundary of Xuanzhou.

Unexpectedly, Pengze County was captured so quickly, and even the county magistrate and county magistrate were killed by the Yan army. The leader...

The cruelty of the Yan people can be seen from this.

…

Outside Jiangzhou City, the Yan army is stationed.

Fifty thousand Yan troops were burying pots to make rice. Smoke was billowing from the cooking pots. There were many people, but it was quiet.

The place where all the Yan troops guarded was the central tent of Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom.

It is said to be a large Chinese military tent, but in fact, it is just a small tent and it is open.

The wind was cold at this time, and when the cold wind blew, the people living in this tent suddenly felt chilly.

Although this tent cannot protect you from the wind, it can at least protect you from the rain, which is pretty good...

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, occupied the main seat. In front of him was a small table with four dishes.

Below, there were a dozen generals sitting on the left and right sides, and there were also a small table in front of them, with two dishes placed on each side.

Zhao Pu was picking up vegetables to eat when a gust of cold wind suddenly hit him. It was biting and the tent was shaking.

Zhao Pu stood tall and motionless.

But the generals below had different reactions.

There are those who are as motionless as a mountain and are not afraid of the cold wind.

There were also those who were afraid of the cold. They couldn't help but shiver and screamed, complaining in a low voice: "Hey, it's so cold!"

"Um!"

Zhao Pu hummed softly and slapped his chopsticks hard on the small table, making a snapping sound.

Seeing this, the generals below put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, with different expressions, and they all looked at Zhao Pu who was sitting high above him.

"It's very cold here, isn't it?" Zhao Pu looked around at the generals without getting angry.

"not cold……"

"not cold……"

"Not cold? Who was complaining just now? Do you need me to name you?"

"Your Highness..." A deputy general came out, knelt down on one knee, and said with great sadness: "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me!"

"Get up."

Zhao Pu's broad, square face was expressionless.

"It's cold, of course it's cold. Even I, the prince, feel cold, so that's okay. But do you know why I, the prince, didn't order a fence to be set up as a stronghold and a tent to be set up as a camp?"

"The tent can provide shelter from wind and rain, as well as a fire to keep warm. However, here...it is drafty from all sides, and it will get cold when the wind blows. Do you know why I, the prince, have arranged this?"

"Forehead……"

"this……"

The generals below looked at each other in shock.

They are good at directing battles, but they... don't know much about these things.

Zhao Pu was unhappy when he saw that none of them could guess it.

He just waved and said to the chief counselor who was waiting at the side: "You tell them."

The chief counselor received the order and stepped forward to face the generals.

Said: "Your Highness does not set up camp here. He would rather be blown by the cold wind just for one thing. That is because it is not necessary!"

"no need?"

"Why is this..."

"In the small city of Jiangzhou, there are only a few thousand soldiers defending the city. But the number of our troops is ten times that of the Jiangzhou defenders, a total of fifty thousand. And I, the great Yan'erlang, am brave and good at fighting, and I am not afraid of life or death."

"Although the small town of Jiangzhou withstood the probing attack by our army, it doesn't matter, because the next step is to officially attack the city. With my bravery, the small town of Jiangzhou is not easy to capture."

"Tonight, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will stay overnight in the back house of Jiangzhou Yamen. I, the eldest son, Yan'erlang, will have Jiangzhou Xiaojing's hot rice and soup to eat, and a warm quilt to sleep in... In this case, do I still need to set up camp here?

?”

"Yes, why haven't you figured this out?"

"Your Highness is still wise, haha..."

"The small town of Jiangzhou is what I have in my big swallow's bag tonight..."

"Tonight, I will eat the most delicious food in Jiangzhou City and sleep with the most beautiful woman in Jiangzhou City..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? The most delicious food and the most beautiful woman, whoever gets your turn, should be presented to His Highness first!"

…

Listening to the discussion of the generals below, Zhao Pu couldn't help but feel happy.

It was as if victory was within reach, and Jiangzhou City was already his private property.

Just at this time, a scout brought good news: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Hanyang County, Jiangxia County, Wuchang County, Yongxing County in Ezhou in the south, Pengze County in Jiangzhou, and Xuanzhou in the east

County, Guichi County, Nanling County, Wuhu County, etc., have all been conquered by Dayan, and the local state and county government officials have been captured alive or captured alive!"

For Yan Jun, this is indeed good news.

Today, the Yan army attacks the three states of Chen State: Ezhou, Jiangzhou, and Xuanzhou.

As a result, the soldiers guarding the city of Chen State were all useless and collapsed at the first touch.

In just one day, more than ten counties were breached...

This is really a huge victory and great news.

Therefore, all the generals below were shouting excitedly, expressing their excitement and joy, and the scene was noisy.

However, the smile on Zhao Pu's broad and square face disappeared instantly.

Instead, he changed into a pair of livid ones.

And it is getting more and more grim.

Like a volcano about to erupt, he was restless, and the anger on his face was like water overflowing, and he could no longer suppress it.

However, the generals below did not notice that their Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was about to explode. He was still cheering and talking to each other, making it very lively.

The chief strategist behind Zhao Pu saw that the situation was not good and was about to fall into an uncontrollable situation.

Then he took a step forward again and shouted: "Quiet, generals, please be quiet... Just shut up. Your Highness is here, how can you allow you to make such a noise and be so arrogant? Why don't you shut up now!"

As soon as the chief counselor said this, all the generals below stopped talking and all turned their heads to look up.

If you don’t know this, you will be shocked when you see it.

It turns out that His Highness's face is already so ugly, as if a volcano is about to erupt and he can no longer hold it in.

All the generals looked at each other with confusion and confusion.

The Yan army captured more than ten prefectures and counties in Nanchen in one fell swoop. It can be said that their military exploits were outstanding and they were unparalleled in the limelight.

This should be a happy thing.

But why does His Highness the Fourth Prince look ashen as a volcano about to erupt?

The generals were confused and couldn't figure it out, so they had to shut up and sit down slumped.
Chapter completed!
