Chapter 1083 This child is growing up very fast
Wen Ye took a step forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if we set off now, Prince Ning's troops will soon catch up. Returning to Beiping is not the best way."
"That--"
Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at the camp outside the tent.
Although it was the emperor's carriage, it was impossible for him to bring too many troops with him. All he brought were ceremonial guards. Besides, he had only come to inspect King Ning's fiefdom and see his brothers, so he did not have much suspicion of King Ning.
Therefore, even if we meet up with the Holy Chariot, there will not be many strong soldiers and generals available.
But Prince Ning was determined to kill the king and usurp the throne, so the people he sent out could not be ceremonial guards. He had even just mobilized the forces of the underworld.
Therefore, they are still in a passive position.
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "We still need to think clearly about what Prince Ning will do next."
"What would Prince Ning do?"
Ye Zheng and Wen Ye looked at each other subconsciously.
At this moment, a low, even hoarse voice rang out from within the tent: "I believe that Prince Ning will not only continue to pursue the Emperor, but he will also likely see through the trap the Emperor set up in Changqing City."
“……!”
Hearing this voice, everyone was suddenly startled.
Zhu Feng raised his head.
The person who spoke was Li Bushan, who had been silent the whole way. Because of the life-and-death battle before, everyone was holding back a lot of anger, and they hadn't spoken for too long, so when he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse and had a terrifying feeling.
Everyone felt an inexplicable tremor in their hearts when they heard this.
Zhu Feng looked at him with the same deep gaze: "You, are right."
Ye Zheng, who was listening, immediately asked, "What kind of puzzle has the emperor set up?"
Wen Ye spoke briefly and explained to him that Zhu Feng had been in Changqing City before, and because of the lack of manpower, he deliberately released some news to make King Ning think that it would be in his best interest to stay in Changqing City. Therefore, King Ning's troops had not been able to leave Changqing City.
"oh--"
Ye Zheng sighed deeply and said with emotion, "I have been wondering why such a big incident happened on Prince Ning's side, but the troops have not left Changqing City. I was also a little worried that the emperor was on the road. If he encountered their troops, I was afraid there would be a bloody battle. It turns out that it was the emperor—the emperor is brave and wise!"
Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at him.
No matter how much flattery you offer at this time, it will not work. After all, they are not completely out of danger yet.
Ye Zheng chuckled when he looked at him.
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile and shook her head at him.
It seems that no matter what time, Zhu Feng cannot be without Ye Zheng by his side. Although he looks nonchalant, he is useful when it is important, and can make Zhu Feng laugh when it is not important. He is an indispensable person.
"Okay."
Zhu Feng coughed, and everyone hurriedly suppressed their laughter. At this time, Li Bushang continued, "If Prince Ning sees through the confusion, then his next step will definitely be to leave the city, and--"
"And, siege the city."
Zhu Feng continued, looking up at him again.
A hint of appreciation flashed across his deep eyes.
Although this child has just taken the position of commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and is still gaining experience, he is growing very fast.
Although he made me dissatisfied or angry in some aspects, I have to say that he is a promising person.
When the people around heard their words, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Ye Zheng said: "Attack the city? Your Majesty means——"
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but instead glanced at Li Bushang. Li Bushang immediately bowed and apologized, then stepped forward and said, "The Emperor is saying that if Prince Ning knows that everything the Emperor did before was to keep him and his men within Changqing City, then he will definitely do the opposite. His men will leave Changqing City in a short time and declare war on the imperial court. In other words, he will attack the city and use it as his base."
“…”
"And the place they are going to attack may be——"
When he said this, his tone became cold.
Everyone understood.
Prince Ning's army was no less powerful than that of the imperial court, and this entire area was under his jurisdiction. Naturally, his next attack would be to attack the towns of the imperial court.
So, where will he hit?
Nan Yan's mind also started to work rapidly.
At this moment, a place suddenly emerged in her mind.
She whispered, "Crane-City?"
At the same time, Li Bushang also said: "Hecheng!"
Zhu Feng frowned and immediately looked up at them.
Nan Yan was surprised for a moment, and quickly bit her lower lip and lowered her head.
Li Bushang also glanced at her, his eyes showing an inexplicable ripple, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued, "The Emperor once said that Prince Ning had three strategies for rebellion: the best, the middle, and the worst. The best strategy is to attack Beiping. And Hecheng is the only way from Changqing City to Beiping. If he wants to take Beiping, the first battle he must fight is in Hecheng."
“…”
"As long as we capture Hecheng, his troops will be able to march continuously towards Beiping along the canal."
“…”
"So, what we're going to do next—"
Zhu Feng looked up at him.
Li Bushan was slightly startled by his look. He didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed, so he didn't continue speaking for a while.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Feng slowly said, "Hecheng."
“…”
"Yes, Crane City."
At this point, he said to Xu Miaoyin, "The Queen can give the order for the imperial carriage to break camp and prepare to leave."
Xu Miaoyin immediately said, "Yes. Your Majesty, are we going to Hecheng?"
"Um."
"I'll go and pass on the message."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Zhu Feng glanced at Nan Yan again, then at Li Bushang on the other side, his eyes uncertain. After a while, he said, "You must be tired after such a long ride today."
Nan Yan said softly: "Uh..."
"Go and rest for a while."
"Um."
This time, Nan Yan was very well behaved. She knew what they were going to do next, and she had some idea in her mind. After all, Xin Ping was with them this time, and she would do anything for the safety of her child.
So, he bowed to Zhu Feng and turned to walk out.
Seeing this, Ye Zheng hurriedly said, "I'll take the queen there."
Zhu Feng waved his hand and watched the two of them walk out.
At this time, Li Bushan was the only one left by his side. Seeing that Li Bushan's eyes were still closely following Nan Yan's expression, Zhu Feng's eyes sank again.
"Li is not hurt."
"exist."
Li Bushang quickly withdrew his gaze.
