Chapter 608 (2/2)
”Dudu, there was no movement in the yuewangfu, but the spies sent in returned on May 1, and all of them were folded in it.” Luo Binwang quickly went to Li Jingye and reported in a low voice.
”Where is wiswin?” Li Jingye saw Luo Binwang and Wei Siwen. He frowned and looked at the front gate of Yuewang mansion not far away.
”Back to Dudu, Mr. Wei...”
”What's wrong with him? To tell you the truth Li Jingye's heart sank. Wei Siwen always wanted to cross the Yangtze River to attack Luoyang in the north, instead of going south to Runzhou and Changzhou. Now that the people are gone, what's wrong?
Or did he always hope that he had colluded with King Yue and King Cao?
”After entering the yuewangfu, they never came out again.” Luo Binwang said quietly.
”So he had already colluded with King Cao and others?” Li Jingye directly said the speculation in his heart.
”I don't know, but before he went in, Li Ming, king of Cao, had already gone to Zhechong's house, which was under the command of Wei Chao.” Luo Binwang observed the expression on Li Jingye's face.
At this time, Li Jingye suddenly lowered his head so that people could not see the expression on his face. After a long time, Li Jingye suddenly said: ”Wei Chao's father used to serve as a pawn in the palace of Li Ming, King Cao. Later, he was exiled to Puzhou because of King Cao's crime. Cao Wang wanted to persuade Wei Chao. After the prince arrived in Yangzhou, he was afraid that he would change his direction and force Wei Chao was attached to King Cao. You immediately led two Zhechong houses to stop them from approaching here. ”
”What are you going to do here? If you have an emergency here, the lower officer should
”You don't have to worry about it. We have an advantage over the 3000 strong troops of two Zhechong houses and one thousand troops of one Zhechong mansion. You don't have to worry about my safety.” Li Jingye still lowers his head, so that Luo Binwang can't see clearly and can't hear it. Is Li Jingye's words true or false.
”But...”
”Not so much, but, you go at once.” Li Jingye looked up and said deeply.
Luo Binwang's heart sank. It seems that his highness did not expect that Li Jingye had already realized that Yangzhou city was no longer under his control. He wanted to flee.
Otherwise, with the strength of four Zhechong prefectures, facing the 1000 troops of Li Zhen, king of Yue, why did they delay to order an attack, instead of dividing them into two places? This is completely contrary to the plan he told himself and Wei Siwen at night.
In hesitation, Luo Bin Wang only heard the sound of horse's hooves coming from behind. So he immediately looked back and saw a soldier galloping his horse, with a red rope flashing in his wrist.
When the horse was approaching, the soldier suddenly tightened his horse's rein. Before waiting for the horse's front hoof to fall due to a sudden stop, he jumped off the horse's back and galloped to him and Li Jingye to report: ”report to your honor, Wei Chao is attached to King Cao and is now blocking the nearest city gate from here.”
”What? How could it be? ” Li Jingye was surprised and stood up from the chair at the gate of the Yuewang mansion. Did Prince Li Hong really nest in ManJiang garden this night and do nothing?
Luo Binwang was relieved when he saw the red rope looming on the soldier's wrist. At this time, he knew better than anyone how important it was for carrier pigeons to transmit information quickly.
The information from my side can be known by your highness in a short time, and the news from your highness can also be known by yourself at the first time.
However, Li Jingye, his colleagues and others rely on the method of sending messages by messenger soldiers. Compared with the way that the prince uses carrier pigeons to transmit information, they are more like a blind man in Yangzhou.
”What now, my lord?” Luo Binwang interposed timely.
Li Jingye looked gloomy and uncertain. His eyes wandered at the gate of Luo Binwang and Yue Wangfu. He murmured to himself, ”King Cao blocked the city gate? What's the point? Why does he believe that their power is far superior to me in Yangzhou? Now the yuewangfu is surrounded by us. If he doesn't come to rescue him, why is it blocking the city gate? Is it to deal with Prince Li Hong? Afraid that the prince will escape from the city
”Well What if the crown prince captured King Cao and his soldiers and blocked the city gate? ” Luo Bingwang looks at Li Jingye tentatively and asks.
Li Jingye looked up at Luo Binwang in surprise again, narrowed his eyes, and said: ”if Prince Li Hong captured King Cao and then blocked Yangzhou City, this is forcing us to have peace talks.”
