He didn't know that this woman would betray him so blatantly."
Jing En shook his head: "Since they are husband and wife, they are the people who understand each other the most in the world. He doesn't know people well, that's his problem. And his friends, it's not that he can't make good friends just because he is poor.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. He must have known his friend's behavior was of this nature, and if he knew, he should have distanced himself from him immediately. But not only did he continue to befriend someone with such bad behavior, but he also allowed two like-minded people to spend time together. This is definitely his problem."
Qian Yeyao was so angry that he laughed and said, "General Jing's thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people. He actually made such a pitiful person look so terrible."
"There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Your Highness, Prince Li, whether this person is pitiful or not has nothing to do with us. This general only hopes that Your Highness can ensure that this prefect is your man. With his help, we can leave Xuzhou smoothly."
Qian Yeyao was almost so angry at Jingen that he fell off his horse.
Could it be that all the stories he had told about Wu Da just now were in vain? He told this story just to tell Jing En that Wu Da was loyal to the Prime Minister and worthy of trust, nothing more.
After listening for a long time, the guy finally summed it up with one sentence: "There must be something hateful about pitiful people." It really made him feel like he was talking to a deaf person.
"Don't worry, General Jing. Wu Da is the Prime Minister's man and has been in contact with me. The shortest way for us to attack the capital is to enter Xuzhou, pass through Jincheng, Panyuncheng, Yangzhoucheng and Lingxiucheng, and then go straight to our next destination, Qizhou.
The county magistrates of these four cities have already submitted to me. Therefore, Xuzhou and Lizhou will be the two prefectures and counties that we will pass through most smoothly."
"That's good."
The 500,000-strong army marched non-stop. When they were 30 miles away from Xuzhou, Qian Yeyao ordered his confidant to go ahead with his token to report.
In order to prevent surprise attacks from enemy countries, each province and county would establish a county governor and a prefect to command the civil and military officials of the entire province and county. Of course, the military power was also completely controlled by the prefect or the county governor.
Each prefecture generally had a permanent garrison of 30,000 troops. Although this was a small number, if 30,000 men were to fight seriously, they would still cause a certain degree of casualties to the army.
Furthermore, the walls of each prefecture and county were built to be incredibly thick, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the soldiers inside the city put all their efforts into resisting, the casualties outside the city would not be just 30,000. It could be 100,000 or 200,000.
When they were still 20 miles away from Xuzhou, the large group of people stopped.
Not long after, led by his personal guards, Xuzhou Prefect Wu Da appeared in everyone's sight.
"That person is Wu Da!"
After Qian Yeyao's introduction, Jing'en looked at him from afar and saw that this man was wearing court robes, with a serious face, but his eyes were shining with brilliance.
Perhaps because he had been an official for too long in a place far away from the emperor, the Xuzhou prefect was very bloated, with his big round belly almost sticking to the horse's back. As the horse galloped, the flesh on his chest and belly kept rising and falling, like waves.
But at first sight, Jing'en had no good impression of Wu Da, the prefect of Xuzhou.
"This person has a bad face!"
