Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 436

[Chapter 436 The Hungry Dead]

“Hot Air Balloon?”

When Zhao Xu uttered these three words, the eyes of Tsui Hark, Chang Wei and the generals suddenly lit up.

“If the emperor can be rescued with a hot air balloon, everything will be simple. Without the emperor in Xiancheng, there is no need to continue the siege of Beidi. They will definitely send troops back to rescue Ning Jindusi, and the danger of Xiancheng can be solved.” Zhao Xu said slowly.

The generals have all seen hot air balloons, and there is nothing Beidi can do about it.

And after training, the soldiers who manipulate the hot air balloon have been able to control the hot air balloon to land precisely in a small area.

It is not impossible to rescue the emperor with a hot air balloon.

The only trouble is how to deliver the hot air balloon near Xiancheng.

After all, the distance a hot air balloon flies is not very far.

“Your Highness’s endless strategies really amaze me.” Chang Wei said sincerely, he really didn’t think of this.

If the plans of the East and the West are carried out at the same time, this time it will really break Mu Lehong’s real conspiracy.

Xu Ke frowned and said, “It’s just that this hot air balloon doesn’t fly very far. Xiancheng is three hundred miles away from Qinguan.”

Zhao Xu looked at Zhongli, and said, “So, we need a cavalry to travel day and night to reach Xiancheng. Nearby.”

Facing Zhao Xu’s gaze, Zhong Li puffed up his chest. He knew what King Yan meant, “Your Highness, you can go later.”

Zhao Xu nodded. After learning the experience of going deep behind enemy lines, let him go, so he can rest assured.

As for Chen Hu, it is his task to go northward with the fleet to attack Beidi’s rear.

“It’s the same as in Jinzhou, this time you can only bring ten days’ worth of dry food, and the battle will be settled quickly.” Zhao Xu formally issued an order.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhong Li shouted loudly.

Ever since he came under the command of King Yan, he has been rejoicing.

It was King Yan who led them to victory and fulfilled his dream of conquering Beidi.

Now, it is the same as all the generals in the royal family’s army.

He will unswervingly carry out any order of King Yan.

Zhao Xu showed a full expression.

After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu ordered the generals to go back to prepare separately, leaving Xu Ke alone.

Walking outside the Military Academy, Zhao Xu said to Xu Ke: “At this moment, you immediately spread the news of Ulanba’s defeat at sea and Ulanba’s capture to Ning Jindu Division. The bigger the noise, the better.”

Xu Ke Nod, keep it in mind.

King Yan did this to make Beidi panic, so that the rescue plan can be implemented smoothly.

“Also, it’s time to close Fan Yang’s affairs. This time, I will take care of Yuan Li properly.” Zhao Xu’s eyes narrowed.

I didn’t kill the Yuan family last time, even if I couldn’t kill the Yuan family this time, it would still hurt their vitality so badly that they could never recover.

The most important thing is that if I save Zhao Heng this time, even if I don’t have sufficient evidence to mess with the Yuan family.

I’m afraid Zhao Heng can only bear it. Even if the merits and demerits are offset, he won’t be blamed, right?

“The subordinates have been watching the leader of Beidi Xizuo. As long as he goes out to sea, the subordinates will pass the news to Zhou Yi.” Xu Ke said.

Yuan Li’s sealing of Fan Yangcheng only caused trouble in the transmission of information.

However, it did not affect the stalking of the Yuan Mansion by the members of the Fourth Academy in Fanyang City.

Moreover, after Beidi’s plan to go south from the sea was confirmed, the Beidi’s detailed commander was obviously a lot bolder.

Getting in and out of Fan Yang is no longer as cautious as before.

It seems that they are very confident that they can win Yanzhou in one fell swoop this time.

Unfortunately, he will be disappointed in the end.

“Well, that’s it.” Zhao Xu nodded.

As long as the leader of Beidi was caught and forced to confess, he would attack Yuan Li, regardless of Yuan Li’s defense.

When he colluded with Beidi and pretended to be the forbidden army and tried to take Yanguan, his fate was doomed.

…

Yanguan, the granary.

One after another, the baggage trucks seized from the false imperial guards were parked in the compound of the granary.

At the gate of the granary, two guarding soldiers were about to replace the two guarding guards at the gate, when they passed by the baggage cart, they suddenly heard a slight “cuckling” sound.

The two soldiers looked at each other, a little strange, but they didn’t care, and continued to walk forward.

But after a few steps, there was another “cuckoo” sound.

The faces of the two changed, and this time they heard clearly.

This “cuckoo” sound seems to come from the baggage car.

Looking at each other again, the two did not speak, but continued to walk forward.

When they came to the door, the two quietly told the soldiers on duty what they had discovered.

The soldiers on duty left immediately and told their superiors the news.

The boss told Mo Yu the news again.

“There is a sound in the baggage car!” Mo Yu was patrolling the city as usual, and he almost jumped up when he heard this.

The news that Zhou Yi won a great victory at sea and wiped out all the troops going south to Beidi had already reached here.

All Yanguan officers and men were extremely excited.

If there was a mistake in Yanguan at this time, not only would he, Mo Yu, deserve to die, but the reputation of his Mo family would also be ruined.

Realizing something, Mo Yu immediately dispatched troops to enter the granary and surrounded the supply vehicles.

Even a pig, he figured it out.

The false imperial edicts of the imperial guards are nothing more than a cover-up, and the enemy’s real ultimate move is in the baggage cart.

“Come out, how long do you have to hide?” Mo Yu shouted.

Then he ordered the soldiers to pull one or two baggage carts over.

At first glance, there is nothing unusual about this baggage cart.

Turning around along the baggage cart, Mo Yu suddenly knocked Luan upwards from the bottom of the baggage cart.

“Dong dong.”

There was a hollow and dull sound, like knocking on a wooden box instead of a wooden board.

Mo Yu’s eyes narrowed, this time she was really careless.

With a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, he said: “Since you don’t come out, I will burn you all.”

“Crack.” Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound from the bottom of the baggage cart.

A soldier in night clothes opened the floor as if opening a window, and fell from the delivery car to the ground.

Seeing Mo Yu and the soldiers of the palace, he did not raise his knife to kill people, nor did he yell.

Instead, he opened his chapped lips and said very weakly: “I surrender, give me something to eat, please.”

Since entering Yanguan.

They have been hiding in the baggage car waiting for Ulan Ba’s army to arrive at the south gate of Yanguan.

At that time, when the artillery of Ulaanba fired, they would get out of the baggage car and open the south gate that night.

According to the plan, Ulan Ba’s army will arrive at most every one or two days.

But they hid in the baggage car and waited left and right, but they didn’t wait for the sound of Beidi’s artillery fire.

At the same time, in order to avoid being discovered, they did not bring dry food and water to prevent the sound of eating and drinking and the smell of food from being discovered.

But five days and six passed in a flash, and they didn’t wait for anything.

They can still bear it for one or two days, but after five or six days they have reached the limit of the human body.

Finally unable to bear it anymore, my stomach rang like a drum.
