Seeing Ali's white hair and madness, Fang Zheng felt extremely disappointed.
This kid is ruined...he has stopped being a human being and there is no cure for him.
But what's even more worrying for him is that Alibai insisted on setting up a plan for him to become an emperor, and now he is in a dilemma.
Let's do this, and do it in front of the delegation. No matter what the process is, the result will definitely have an impact when it reaches Emperor Jing's ears.
He was unsure of the extent of the impact this would have. After all, Emperor Jing had always been very magnanimous, and they were now a family.
But after all, the emperor's identity is there...
He was clearly a prisoner, but he managed to trick others into becoming the emperor of the local camp.
He also holds a concurrent position as the head of the Zhanshi Mansion! As the prince's teacher, anyone would be suspicious.
If you can fool others today, will you have to fool the prince tomorrow? Will you have to make the prince a puppet in the future?
Even if they knew that Ali had set up this trap, what would it matter? Once this kind of thing happened, it would be a thorn in people's hearts.
It won't lead to death, but it will hurt feelings.
If she refuses, it will be even more troublesome. Up to now, few people know Shui Yibai's identity, not even Miao Han.
If this matter is really exposed, I guess she will be skinned alive. It won't be strange to enter the palace to accompany the emperor's grandson...
Now it doesn’t matter whether Ali Bai has witnesses or not, as long as he makes it known, someone will investigate.
Between two evils, choose the lesser one. Now I can only play with him for a while. It sounds good to satisfy my desire to be an emperor!
Fang Zhengyi watched Ali Bai walk out of the room, sighed, and followed him out of the room.
This guy has so much potential, he really tried his best to get me to work for him. Such a person should be a headhunter. He was obviously born in the wrong place!
.....
The city is high and the pass is wide.
The Jin army was lined up in neat rows, with tombs standing in front of them.
Those buried were all dead Jin soldiers.
With tens of thousands of people killed in the battle, Wutu had to take time out to rest his troops and appease his fellow soldiers.
Although they captured the high pass of the city, the joy did not last long.
After all, the pressure faced by the entire army is unimaginable, and dealing with the fallen soldiers properly is a necessary procedure in non-emergency situations.
Otherwise it will greatly affect morale.
On the other hand, Chenggaoguan also needs to be readjusted. In the future, it will be one of the important strongholds of the Jin Dynasty. In case of any accidents, it will also be a retreat route.
Defending themselves on the high pass of the city, the Jing army was no longer able to get out!
After a simple ceremony, the army set out and continued its march southward.
Wutu returned to the tent and was still making detailed plans on the map when suddenly someone came to report.
"Your Majesty, the spies reported that they encountered a large army of the Jing Kingdom in the West Wind Plains, with a number of no less than 200,000."
"Can you see it clearly?"
"According to the spies, it is more than that! I have confirmed it again and again."
Wu Tu was a little absent-minded for a moment, raised his hand and said, "Call the national teacher."
Soon, Paba entered the tent and said, "Your Majesty, the army of Jing Kingdom is right before our eyes. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on!"
Wutu's face was solemn. "Yes... How could Jingguo reach Xifeng Plain so quickly? Even if the garrison commander of Chenggaoguan had informed us day and night, they couldn't mobilize the army so quickly. Unless our news leaked..."
The news leaked?
Paba also frowned.
"Your Majesty, why don't you send a few more scouts to get a closer look at the situation? The Jing Kingdom army showed up too early, and the guards at Chenggao Pass retreated inexplicably... Is there a trick going on?"
Wutu raised his hand and said, "As we should. Send a few scouts with hot air balloons to continue to spy on the enemy. We will proceed as planned."
"If their army gathers in the West Wind Plain, it will be a good thing for us. Even if there is a trick, what kind of trick can it be? In the plains, even the chevaux de frise can have no effect."
"No matter what, a decisive battle with our army on the plains would be courting suicidal destruction!"
Paba had these worries and felt something was wrong in his heart.
"I will make the arrangements right away, but there is something fishy going on. Li Che is a brave and skilled fighter, so it is unlikely that he will engage in direct combat with our army. Your Majesty, please be careful."
"Well, go ahead."
.....
"Your Majesty, the scouts who reported back to the Kingdom of Jin have returned."
In the central army tent, Emperor Jing was absent-mindedly reading a military book. When he heard someone enter the tent, he raised his eyes and said, "Gather all the troops and move forward."
"If Wutu sends more people, we can just pretend to chase them and send another team to investigate the enemy's situation."
"Order all the generals to raise their flags high and prepare for battle."
.....
After a day and night of investigation, the Jin scouts rushed back to the camp again.
The Jin army had already set out on the road to the West Wind Plain. The team was long and winding, like a giant python moving forward.
Wutu was riding on a horse, with Chilie beside him.
As the army was marching, a spy from the opposite side rode up to meet them. Seeing Wutu in front, he shouted, "Your Majesty, the army of Jing is advancing towards us. According to the hot air balloon survey, they have no less than 400,000 soldiers and horses! The rest of the scouts have been discovered by the people of Jing and are still being pursued."
Wutu was a little confused after hearing this!
There are no less than 400,000 troops, and they are attacking us on their own initiative?
This is like an old man eating arsenic and complaining about his longevity! Is there such a happy event?
"Any other news?"
"Yes! There is also a dragon flag. We also found a dragon flag in the military formation!"
Another unexpected joy!
The emperor personally led the army? Li Che actually led the army in person, with an army of no less than 400,000.
That means these 400,000 people must be the main force of Jing’s army.
"Investigate again and report back!"
"God help me, God help me! Has Li Che gone mad? Instead of defending the city, he took the initiative to attack? It seems that after a long period of peace, he has long forgotten how to fight a war!"
"Do they want to fight me head-on?" Wutu murmured.
"Your Majesty, since Li Che has the courage to fight your Majesty head-on, he must have something to rely on. I don't know when they arrived at the West Wind Plain. Maybe they have already set a trap and are waiting for us to fall into it." Paba reminded.
Wu Tu thought, "The scouts reported earlier that they would come to meet us on their own initiative, so how could they have time to set a trap? But we will wait and see, and we must not act rashly."
"Your Majesty! I am willing to lead the troops as the vanguard and personally take Li Che's head for Your Majesty." Chi Lie, who had been silent all the time, said.
"No, light cavalry first, you are in the formation, don't move out easily. It's hard to say whether Jingguo has any tricks up his sleeve, you will know after fighting him."
.....
"Father, if we encounter the Jin army later, I am willing to be the vanguard!" Li Yuanzhao rode his horse beside Emperor Jing in a flattering manner.
When he said this, he felt a little excited, his nostrils dilated slightly, and he looked at Emperor Jing with hope.
Emperor Jing glanced at him and said, "I have already made a choice. You are leading the Jinyiwei to patrol the rear. If you dare to move lightly, you will be punished by military law!"
"oh...."
