Li Hugo's team chased for thirty miles, but they were separated by a river. Li Hugo could not pursue too far. If the enemy turned against him, Li Hugo's losses would be very heavy.
Therefore, Li Yuguo did not pursue him and chose to retreat in time.
After this victory, Li Hugo quickly began to build bridges on both sides of the river in the north. This time the bridge was also a floating bridge, but the area and width were much larger than the original one.
Watching the corpses being fished out one by one, Li Yuguo was also worried. Big Fatty Zhou came up and said: "Boss, our losses are not small. Although this time we took advantage of the enemy's internal chaos, but the cost to us is also high." Not small."
"What's the cost?"
"We lost 30,000 people in battle, while the enemy lost 80,000 people. Now the actual number of combatants is very small. We only have 150,000 people left. However, those who can survive have experienced the baptism of battle. They are There are strong men now, and the enemy currently has about 400,000 people who can fight..." Big Fatty Zhou said.
"The enemy has killed many generals, and our Tongming Temple's advantage in participating in the battle has been reflected. After all, the weakest cultivation level in Tongming Temple this time is also at the level of martial spirit or magic spirit. In addition to our ten major commanders, each of them is The capable masters and their leadership make up for the poor quality of our soldiers," Mu Xisha said.
"What should we do next?" Sima Qianxun walked over. She had a bandage on her arm and was obviously slightly injured.
Li Huguo said: "The most important thing now is to build the bridge and pave it well. With the bridge, we will have supplies... In addition, the camp is moving forward. When they retreat, the camps here will not have time to move, so we can use them Stay in the camp, quickly treat the wounded, and restore morale."
Although it is possible to continue fighting and pursue the victory, it is not the best choice. Pursuing the victory is completely gambling. If you are lucky, you can pursue the victory. If you are not lucky, you will fall into the enemy's trap. Moreover, Li Hugo has already made arrangements, and now he has just become an agent. General, but the soldiers here still obey the imperial court. If the battle is won at this time and the imperial court orders them to come over and perform any special tasks, I am afraid that the prestige that Li Hugo has finally accumulated will be destroyed.
…
In the capital, the emperor has been recuperating since the third prince came to power. The previous trouble caused the emperor to be seriously injured, and he also suffered from a serious illness, from which he has not recovered yet.
In the palace, Eunuch Cao came to the third prince's side and said: "Prince, now the capital has begun to search for those remnants, but His Majesty's body has not recovered yet... So His Majesty wants us to send people to find Miss Alan."
"The dragon of life... Phew, she is no longer here. It's just that the father is too anxious. After all, she is the dragon of life and the guardian dragon of our country. Now that the guardian dragon is angry and gone, we can only You have to rely on yourself." Su Zhi said.
Xiaoyu next to me said: "Your Highness, this is the medicine you want."
"Give it to Eunuch Cao," Su Zhi said.
Eunuch Cao's body trembled, and he started to tremble while holding the paper bag in his hands: "This, this medicine is useless, it's useless..."
"What I want is that it's useless." Su Zhi said.
Su Zhi slowly left the hall. Although the surroundings were splendid and magnificent, in Eunuch Cao's eyes, it looked completely different. He felt that it was all gloomy and lifeless.
Xiaoyu said: "Eunuch Cao, this is the prince's order. Go and do it quickly..."
Eunuch Cao's old face was very tired. He shook his head and said: "Miss Xiaoyu, you are also a sensible person... Why did you choose this path? In fact, Your Majesty already knew that Tingxue Pavilion belongs to the Skeleton God Sect. Stronghold, but His Majesty does not intend to interfere or expose it, because the Skeleton God Sect has never done anything to harm the people. Last year's locust plague and drought, the people of the Skeleton God Sect helped with disaster relief. Your Majesty has seen these things... "
"Now the third prince... Oh no, what is the difference between His Highness the Crown Prince's doing this and the eldest prince back then? The eldest prince wanted to kill his father, but he still didn't take any action. He just forced the palace. Forced palace is not patricide... But now What? His Highness the Crown Prince wants... I know, this is poison, right? Or a particularly rare chronic poison... "
"Miss Xiaoyu, it is true that the emperor objected to the matter between you and the prince, but it was just an objection. Does the emperor deserve to die?"
Xiaoyu had a gloomy face and said: "After I left the palace, I raised the children alone...How could you, a eunuch, feel such a life? Do you know how difficult it was for me during that time?"
"Girl... do you remember that when you were hiding from disaster in a ruined temple, a young lady suddenly appeared and gave you a food box, which contained hot pigeon soup, hot rice, and a lot of breast milk? Food..." Eunuch Cao said.
Xiaoyu trembled: "Are you talking about Miss Wang who burned incense?"
"Yes, why did she bring so much hot rice and dishes when she went to burn incense? Don't forget, even if you go to the temple, the most she brings is fruits, vegetables and pastries, and the food this Miss Wang gave you , but it was still some confinement food. You were fainting from hunger, and she suddenly appeared, don't you think it's strange?"
"Could it be said that this is all..."
"Yes, it's all His Majesty's arrangement. After all, your child also has royal blood, and is also His Majesty's grandson. As a grandfather, how can he bear the thought of his grandson starving to death?" Eunuch Cao said, "Of course... our family said None of this is in use. Now the emperor is seriously ill and his health is getting worse day by day. The ordinary ministers in the court have been taken care of by the prince. The prince is very smart and has deep calculations, but the eldest prince is not his opponent at all... "Eunuch Cao... said.
He seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "Okay, Miss Xiaoyu, I have resigned first. Today, there are a few new eunuchs. I will go and arrange them."
"Wait a minute..." Xiaoyu said, "Father, those medicines."
"If you don't feed the emperor, then the prince will definitely find out when the emperor's health improves, because all the doctors in the palace now... are His Highness's people." Eunuch Cao said.
Xiaoyu took a breath of air, she didn't expect it to be like this, and Su Zhi's arrangement was perfect, one step at a time.
"I... how am I doing now, what should I do?" Xiaoyu also panicked, she didn't want to make herself famous forever.
Eunuch Cao said slowly: "Although the eldest prince has been imprisoned in the East Palace for half a year, the centipede will not freeze until death. If we want to stop this, it may be better for the eldest prince to take action..."
"But if there is only one eldest prince..." Xiaoyu hesitated.
"Have you forgotten, miss? Among the three gentlemen, there is another elder who is not involved in political affairs, but is highly respected..." Eunuch Cao arrived.
"You mean, Xie Wuji, Xie Taishi?"
"We didn't say anything." Eunuch Cao looked much better.
