Xia Zhengqi was cheered up and looked at Cheng Feng with burning eyes, expecting him to tell him the details.
Cheng Feng understood and continued, "Master Baili is very good at predicting things. They got the fake route map and really set their sights on Baihukou, ambushing a large number of troops there."
"Lord Baili ordered our men to hide in the cargo boxes and set up smoke traps inside them."
"When the convoy reached Baihukou, they rushed in from all directions and surrounded the convoy. Our men immediately pretended to be timid and raised their hands in surrender."
"They foolishly laughed at the Daxia people for being cowards, but when they opened the box, they were immediately hit by the smoke and were kidnapped by our people while they were still dazed."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhengqi clapped his hands in delight, "Great! Lord Baili's plan is truly brilliant! He subdued them all without bloodshed."
Cheng Feng also laughed twice and continued, "This time, we captured a total of 2,300 remnants of the Liang Kingdom. Nearly 2,000 of them surrendered voluntarily after regaining consciousness, while the rest were stubborn and committed suicide."
Xia Miaoyuan was stunned listening to this.
"Oh my god! What's going on? Daddy actually did something so awful behind my back these past few days!"
【Fake route map!?】
[In other words, the Emperor deliberately created a fake route map for transporting military equipment, and then used this trick to deal with Liang Chaozong's men!?]
"This time, the captives revealed a valley where the remnants of the Liang Kingdom were hiding. Lord Baili led his troops there, unexpectedly blocking their exit and trying to persuade them to surrender. He actually succeeded in persuading over 5,000 people to surrender."
"The remaining two thousand people refused to surrender and died in battle." When he said this, Cheng Feng's tone was a little difficult.
Xia Zhengqi sighed, "It's already quite good to be able to persuade over 5,000 people to surrender. All together, there are over 10,000 people. Liang Chaozong must be mad with rage."
"Yes, they suffered heavy losses this time." Cheng Feng agreed with a smile.
[Oh my god! We destroyed their stronghold! A stronghold of over 10,000 people!]
When Xia Miaoyuan heard this, he was so shocked that his mouth was open and his eyes were dull.
[I didn't expect Daddy to be so powerful! Does Emperor Daddy like to play the pig and eat the tiger?]
[This time Liang Chaozong must be so angry that he'll vomit blood!]
Xia Miaoyuan remembered that the book wrote that the remaining forces of the Liang State initially consisted of only 8,000 people, and they kept absorbing poor people who could not make a living.
After several decades of development, the army had grown to a total of 110,000 people, including women and children, and only less than half of them were soldiers.
These people were divided into seven groups, each hiding in a secluded area deep in the mountains and forests. This time, Xia Zhengqi had managed to easily destroy one of their strongholds through a trick, effectively dealing a heavy blow to Liang Chaozong.
Xia Zhengqi listened to his daughter's inner thoughts, and the more he listened, the more he felt that he was wise and brave, and he raised his head unconsciously.
Thinking about it carefully, after all, it was my daughter's credit, and I felt a little uneasy.
"You go down first. I will reward you according to your merits tomorrow!" Xia Zhengqi said loudly.
Cheng Feng retreated happily.
When only the father and daughter were left in the room, Xia Zhengqi picked up his daughter and spun around several times without caring about his image.
"My dear daughter, I am so happy today!"
"Hahaha! Miao'er, this time it's all thanks to your fourth brother!" Xia Zhengqi pretended to tease a child and told the truth.
"He wanted to steal the military equipment transport route map, so I deliberately set up a fake one for him to steal!"
Xia Miaoyuan understood instantly, [So that's how it is.]
[Oh, I was actually worried that the Emperor would fall for the Fourth Prince's trick. I didn't expect him to be so clever.]
For a moment, Xia Miaoyuan felt ashamed of his previous thoughts.
[It seems that the stupidest person in this whole thing is the Fourth Prince.]
Xia Miaoyuan curled her lips. "No wonder, he's the son of a virtuous concubine and an adulterer. Apparently, the adulterer's low IQ directly contributed to the child's low IQ."
What? My daughter said that the Fourth Prince isn't her biological son?!
Xia Zhengqi instantly felt much more refreshed, and all the pain he had suffered in the past few days disappeared.
No wonder he would so easily side with Liang Chaozong and betray himself.
Since there is no blood relationship, he doesn't need to worry about the father-son relationship when he deals with the Fourth Prince next.
But then I thought again, Concubine Xian was my concubine in the deep palace, but she could still hook up with an adulterer and cuckold me!
Thinking of this, Xia Zhengqi felt as if there was a huge stone blocking his chest, and he felt very suffocated.
…
Just as Xia Zhengqi was celebrating his victory, Liang Chaozong was furious on the other side.
He was overjoyed when he got the weapons transportation route map, because weapons had always been what he was most in short supply of.
If we can get this batch of weapons, it will immediately solve the problem of lack of weapons in the stronghold.
In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, he took the risk and led the team personally.
Unexpectedly, the route map was fake, and the convoy they ambushed and intercepted at Baihukou was also fake. The convoy did not carry any weapons at all. Everything was Xia Zhengqi's plan.
Several of his confidants risked their lives to give him the chance to escape. Otherwise, he would have become a prisoner of the Great Xia court.
"Xia Chengyue, you traitor!"
In Fanyin Temple, in the house where Concubine Xian lived, Liang Chaozong pinched the Fourth Prince's chin viciously.
"Uncle, I didn't!" The fourth prince begged crying.
Concubine Xian grabbed Liang Chaozong's arm and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Chengyue doesn't know that the picture is fake."
