"Marquis Xiliang, is there any military information from the capital?"
Xing Bang was thinking of letting him be the pioneer, but he was not going to speak directly without any ability, after all, the problem just now had passed.
Xiliang Hou Yu Shinan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I was just about to report to you. I am also wondering about this matter.
Logically speaking, my army approached this place yesterday, and the capital should have deployed troops to prepare for battle. But there is no movement in the capital now, and I have also sent people to investigate, and there is no sign of troop deployment in the north and south camps. "
Xing Bang frowned and also felt very strange. It's not like his army didn't make inquiries during the march, but it seemed that the distance was less than a hundred miles. This was very strange.
At that time, he thought there was some conspiracy, trying to create this illusion and attack from both sides.
Unexpectedly, when his army was about to arrive at the city, there was no movement. Although there were still many elite troops in the capital, and the city walls were high and deep, even if the army attacked the city, it would be difficult to conquer it for a while.
If the southern and northern camps move out in full force, they can arrive within half a day and form a two-pronged pincer attack.
Therefore, Xing Bang's speculation is not impossible.
"Well, in that case, Marquis Xiliang, in your opinion, what is the situation?"
Yu Shinan coughed lightly, "Your Highness, do you think this is possible? Now that Liu Cundao is dead, the woman in the city has lost her backbone and has no intention of fighting anymore. She just doesn't want to appear to be surrendering. In fact, she is just waiting for Your Highness to enter the city directly."
Damn it!
Xing Bang cursed inwardly, no wonder he was so arrogant and wanted to be the vanguard, it turned out that he was treated as an empty city.
That's all the knowledge you have. Damn it. As long as you have a set of eyes, anyone can analyze it. What do you think?
However, Xing Bang still nodded and said, "Xiliang Hou's idea is not unreasonable, but we must not take it lightly."
"Of course, it would be better if we don't resist. However, we still have to be cautious. What I mean is that we should let the vanguard troops launch a feint attack first, and then I will lead the main army behind. If soldiers from the north and south camps come to support us, we can also attack at any time."
"Your Majesty, your opinion is correct. Our Xiliang Army is brave and good at fighting. I am willing to lead my troops as the vanguard. Please grant my wish, Your Majesty."
Xiliang Hou spoke in a mighty and domineering manner, but in his heart he still felt that his idea was not wrong. With all four elders dead, how much backbone could a woman have?
Of course, he didn't know Zheng Xiujun's situation, otherwise he might not dare to be the pioneer so happily.
Xing Bang nodded, "Okay, since you are so loyal and brave, I will order you to be the vanguard and march to the capital immediately."
"Yes, I obey your command!"
Yu Shinan responded and turned and left.
Most of his Xiliang troops are cavalrymen. It is still early now. After they set up camp, it will take less than an hour for the army to march straight to the city.
After Xilianghou's army marched towards the capital, Xing Bang also ordered his troops to continue advancing. Naturally, the marching speed of an army of 200,000 would be much slower.
He just needed to set up camp closer to the capital. Although he thought it would not be that easy, it was not impossible that the monsters in the city would give up resistance and wait for him to enter the city.
Thinking of this question, Xing Bang thought of the letter again. After thinking about it, he basically ruled out all the people who might do this, except her.
It is conceivable that Liu Cundao, needless to say, originally Xing Bang thought that it could be the remaining three elders, maybe one of them had some idea, but now it can be completely ruled out. It is impossible that they all died so easily with Liu Cundao.
If one of the three aloof senior sisters did this, she should confess. There is no need to keep it in her heart any longer.
It was even more impossible for the eunuchs and palace maids in the temple to do so. They might not even understand what they were supposed to do when they arrived in the northern border.
Then there are the people from the Arbitration Department. They had a great chance of winning, but they ran away in disgrace, which proves that they are most likely not the winner.
If that were the case, even if they knew about the secret letter, they would probably come out to show off. It is obvious that the people in the Arbitration Department are very concerned about their reputation.
Therefore, it is very likely that this letter was sent by someone evildoer in the city.
It was not difficult for her to find an expert in the palace. Besides, Liu Cundao trusted her completely, so he could just send the letter and kill her.
Poor Liu Cundao, he didn't know his daughter was in this state until his death.
However, he doesn't need to worry about it. After Zheng Xiujun comes back, he will definitely compensate him double.
There's nothing much to say. Let her have a few children first.
Xing Bang had this guess a long time ago, and when he arrived here today and saw this situation, he became even more suspicious.
But if that's the case, then the problem becomes more complicated. Why did she do this?
Even if they didn't expect Liu Cundao and others to die, it would still be a self-defeating act.
Thinking of this, I was naturally puzzled and couldn't think about it any further.
If you have any questions that you can't figure out, don't think too much about them. I believe you will get the answer soon.
Afterwards, Xing Bang called Xiao Jinzi and asked about the situation. It was basically the same as what Xiliang Hou said. He indeed arrived with the people sent by Liu Cundao.
However, it was obvious that Marquis Xiliang did not dare to make up stories about these things since the people were right in front of him.
It’s just that it’s not as detailed as Xiao Jinzi said. He really suffered a lot. The people sent by Liu Cundao tortured him a lot.
Xiliang Hou said that he was the one who protected him, but in fact it was not because the people sent by Liu Cundao were giving him face, but because they all knew that Xiao Jinzi was Xing Bang's confidant.
It is better to keep him than to kill him. I have always wanted to get some secrets of Xing Bang from Xiao Jinzi.
However, Xiao Jinzi would definitely rather die than tell anyone, and he didn't even know the problem with Xing Bang himself.
At most, they know some things about women, but even if they don’t know, it doesn’t matter.
Then, Xing Bang comforted Xiao Jinzi with a few words and told him directly that after returning to the palace, the position of Shaofu would be his.
If you want people to be loyal and work for you, you must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.
Two hours later.
The lieutenant commander in front of Xilianghou’s army came over.
"Your Highness, the general guarding the city has announced that the Grand Princess wants you to come to the city to meet her."
"Okay, got it."
Xing Bang waved his hands and frowned. What was going on?
However, since it has been said like this, there is nothing to think about. However, the idea just now was further confirmed.
Afterwards, Xing Bang made some arrangements and rode a fast horse alone towards the capital.
Soon, Xing Bang arrived at the city alone on horseback.
"The king is here, please see the princess."
When the general guarding the city saw that it was Xing Bangqin who came, he shouted directly: "The Grand Princess invites the prince to enter the city and the palace, saying that the prince must know where she is waiting for the prince."
Xing Bang shouted without saying anything, "Open the city gate."
