But the people on the ground didn't say anything. Six hundred thousand stones of food were robbed. What if there wasn't some careful work
It's just that he doesn't know who this detailed work is!
"You just said where our team encountered the wolves?" King Huainan asked.
He was determined to pull out the nail and cut him into pieces.
"Back to my lord, it's the Lang Valley area in Yangshan Mountain. That area is famous for its many wolves, and no one usually goes there."
Yangshan Wolf Valley
Does Princess Hui'an still have the ability to summon wolves
King Huainan turned the ring in his hand, thoughtfully.
This grain transportation route does not seem to pass through Wolf Valley in the plan!
He quickly took out a key from his arms, opened a drawer, took out a wiring diagram, and then sneered:
"Ah!"
It seems that this spy's position is quite high!
He knew the route for the enemy's elite troops to attack and also knew the route for transporting food, so he deliberately leaked the route for transporting food to the enemy's elite troops.
Not many people can know these two secrets at the same time!
Fortunately, the man didn't know that he had arranged for someone to set fire to the mountain to intercept the elite soldiers led by Nalan Jinnian and Princess Hui'an.
I thought of this on the spur of the moment, and then directly ordered my cronies to bring fifty people to do it.
No one knew about it except the fifty cronies sent out to set the fire.
Because he didn't send many people, and he didn't need to mobilize too many people for this matter, he didn't discuss it with other generals and staff at all.
Besides, setting fire to the mountain was a bit...some of the soldiers and staff would definitely object, and he didn't want to leave a ruthless impression in front of his ministers.
They all talk about benevolence, justice and morality!
What kind of saint are you pretending to be
King Huainan doubted several people in his mind. When he thought of Wang Xiao, he paused and shook his head.
Wang Xiao is his son-in-law, not him!
In this battle of Yangfu, he led the enemy army to successfully capture it.
For a moment, King Huainan couldn't figure out who it was.
However, everyone seems to be suspicious.
Find out no matter what.
King Huainan looked at his cronies underground and ordered: "Go rescue Jiang Jin and find out what happened at that time and why he suddenly changed his route."
"Yes!" The man kneeling on the ground stood up, held his fists in a respectful salute, and then withdrew.
Not far after walking out, I saw a person walking over excitedly.
This man is also a close confidant of King Huainan. The two of them have a good relationship in private. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Qiangzi, do you have good news to report?"
A figure paused at the corner of the flowers and stopped.
Qiangzi shook his head: "No way! Six hundred thousand stones of grain were robbed by a group of female soldiers! The prince is angry! Hey, I won't tell you anymore! The prince said there was something wrong, so I have to go and investigate this matter. You Be careful, the prince is in a bad mood."
Zhang Fu nodded: "I know, thank you, brother, but I have good news! A large area of Yangshan was burned, and the enemy troops suffered numerous casualties. The prince must be very happy to hear this!!"
"That's good! I'm leaving!" Qiangzi left in a hurry.
Zhang Fu thought for a while but put down the excitement on his face, respectfully walked outside the study and asked to see him.
At the corner, Wang Xiao looked through the flowers at the figure walking into the study, showing a wry smile.
He didn't know that King Huainan also sent dozens of people to set fire to the mountain.
This is really about doing whatever it takes to get that position!
"Husband, what are you doing standing here?" A soft voice sounded behind him.
Wang Xiao's body stiffened slightly, he turned around as if nothing had happened, fiddled with his sleeves, and said with an annoyed look: "I was a little anxious when I was walking just now, and my clothes accidentally got caught on a flower thorn and tore.
My husband is thinking about whether he should go back and change his clothes before meeting his father. But it took a lot of time to go back and change. It would be rude not to change. Why is the princess here? "
"I'm here to deliver ginseng soup to my father. I heard from my mother that he didn't sleep last night."
Wang Xiao glanced at the maid behind Princess Huaiyue. She was indeed holding a tray with a stew pot on it.
He was so absorbed in listening just now that Huai Yue always walked very lightly. This maid had martial arts skills and her steps were light, so she didn't even notice them approaching.
Princess Huaiyue walked up to him and saw that his sleeve was indeed torn by something. There was only a small hole. She smiled slightly and said, "This is nothing. My father will not blame me. Besides, it is not necessarily true that my husband intends to cover up my father." Discovered. Isn’t it?”
Wang Xiao's heart tightened: "For my husband, I'd better go back and change my clothes!"
Princess Huaiyue held him back: "It's too troublesome to go back and forth, let's go in together!"
Princess Huaiyue held Wang Xiao's arm: "Husband, let's go!"
"Yeah." Wang Xiao responded lightly.
"I also stewed a cup of ginseng soup for my husband. After seeing my father and the queen later, you can go back and drink it!" Princess Huaiyue said gently.
Wang Xiao's hand hanging on one side couldn't help but clenched his fist. He nodded with a subtle smile on his face: "Okay."
After a bowl of ginseng soup decades ago, he became the consort of Princess Huaiyue.
He has been drinking this for decades, but his health has been deteriorating recently. He only found out two days ago that he was poisoned.
I don’t know if it’s this ginseng soup…
It doesn't matter anymore.
Anyway, I'm almost done with it.
Just consider it as something you owe her!
He unclenched his fist, and the two walked to the study arm in arm, like a loving couple.
In the study
Zhang Fu reported to the King of Huainan: "Your Majesty, you set fire to the mountain and successfully intercepted the enemy's elite troops. The enemy suffered numerous casualties!"
He didn't dare to get too close, and saw corpses being carried out one after another from a distance, and many people were lying on the hillside.
King Huainan stood up happily after hearing this: "Haha... Okay!"
He knew that the weather had been dry recently, and if the forest caught fire, the fire would definitely spread rapidly.
Nalan Jinnian will definitely lead the soldiers to put out the fire!
If he didn't put out the fire, it would be midnight, and when the people discovered it at dawn, the fire would have burned many hills!
Maybe several villages at the foot of the mountain would be burned down.
After all, there are piles of firewood behind every house. Isn’t it easy for those firewood piles to be ignited by those plant ashes with sparks
This can be said to have caused a huge disaster, and he has even more excuses to say that the imperial soldiers set fire to the mountain and ignored the safety of the people, which is unacceptable!
If Nalan Jinnian led soldiers to fight the fire, would the mountain fire be so easy to save? It just so happened that the area was far away from the water source. The water source was at the foot of the mountain, and the fire started halfway up the mountain!
Without buckets, they had no choice but to cut down trees to put out the fire. However, once a mountain fire started, it would burn very quickly. It would not burn them to death, but it would also kill them from exhaustion!
The King of Huainan knew that they had traveled so many days and were tired and hungry. How could they have the energy to fight another mountain fire
What's more, Princess Hui'an and King Jin separated the two teams.
Only 10,000 soldiers put out the fire.
"Did King Jin hide in the sea of fire?"
"Back to the prince, King Jin doesn't have it."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by the guard's voice: "Your Majesty, Princess Huaiyue and General Wang want to see you."
