"What" Mi Sheng shouted when he heard the soldier's words.
"The bandits have withdrawn their troops and returned to the city, and the two generals Du Feng were both captured," the soldier who sent the message said again tremblingly.
"Alas" Mi Sheng punched hard and sighed heavily.
Originally, Wang Qing was not too concerned about rescuing Du Bo and Feng Tai, but now he suddenly heard that they were captured, and his heart suddenly trembled.
People are always like this.
When you have someone or something, you always feel that it doesn't matter and you don't cherish it.
But when you suddenly lose it one day, you will suddenly feel empty in your heart.
Only then will you realize that this person or thing means this to you. important.
Although Wang Qing had many generals with high martial arts skills, Du Bo and Feng Tai were among the most outstanding.
Du Bo in particular could be said to be the number one in Wang Qing's army.
Wang Qing sat there with a stiff expression, and everyone below fell silent.
This battle originally had the advantage, but the ending now is too hard to accept.
Prime Minister Li Zhu was seriously injured and died soon after, and the coach Du Bo was captured in the battle.
These two people can be said to be Wang Qing's right-hand men, and they only fought one battle.
All is lost.
Coupled with Fengtai, who ranked among the top five in terms of military force, and the casualties of at least tens of thousands of people, this battle can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
After a while, Wang Qing calmed down and said, "Military matters are jointly managed by the National Protector General Army and the Auxiliary National General Army, with the assistance of the generals.
Now that the morale of our newly defeated army is a little low, we must strictly defend ourselves to prevent bandits from taking the opportunity to rob the camp.
In addition, let the army be prepared.
The gate of Daming Mansion has collapsed and cannot be repaired in a short time.
Let all soldiers be ready to attack the city again at any time.
This time, Daming Mansion must be captured."
After hearing this, the generals looked at each other.
Fan Quan stepped forward and said, "King Chu, our army is not suitable for continuing the war at the current situation.
It is better to withdraw temporarily and wait for the opportunity to mature before taking revenge."
"This" usually it was Li Zhu who helped Wang Qing with his ideas, but now that Li Zhu was seriously injured and his life or death was unknown, Wang Qing felt a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, Commander Fan is right.
Although the gate of Daming Mansion collapsed, it did not harm the foundation of the bandits.
Our army's military strength was originally inferior to that of the bandits.
In the past, we could rely on the power of artillery to break through the city gates.
However, now that our artillery has been destroyed, the bandits still have artillery in their hands.
This is very detrimental to our army.
If we force ourselves to stay and attack the city, there will be a bigger rout, and then it will not be so easy for our army to retreat."
Duan Er is Wang Qing's elder brother-in-law, so he speaks more directly than others.
Wang Qing's heart was shaken.
In the past, Wang Qing was determined to attack Daming Mansion because of Li Zhu's strong advocacy.
Now that Li Zhu was gone and everyone else was against it, Wang Qing became even more confused.
Wang Qing sat there and thought for a while, and then said, "Let's put it aside for now and wait until I go to see the Prime Minister later before making a decision."
After hearing this, everyone below looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Wang Qing came to Li Zhu's tent.
Li Zhu had completely lost his former charm.
A leg and an arm were blown off by artillery.
Most parts of his body were also injured.
He was lying there motionless with his eyes closed.
If it weren't for his chest, There was a slight ups and downs, and Wang Qing thought Li Zhu was dead.

The doctor who was sitting nearby and watching saw Wang Qing come in and quickly stood up to say hello.
Wang Qing frowned tightly and asked, "How is the Prime Minister's situation?"
The doctor bowed and shook his head and replied, "The Prime Minister's injury is too serious and he won't last long."
Wang Qing didn't reply and came to the bedside and called softly, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister" Li Zhu's consciousness was already a little blurry at this time.
He heard someone calling and forced himself to open his eyes.
"King of Chu," Li Zhu said extremely weakly when he saw Wang Qing.
Wang Qing nodded and said softly, "Prime Minister, don't worry.
I have ordered people to go to Tokyo to find the imperial doctor.
Nothing will happen to the Prime Minister."
Li Zhu coughed twice, and then said with great effort, "Don't bother, I'll be around soon."
At this point, he started coughing violently again.
Seeing this, the doctor hurriedly came over to help Li Zhu caress his chest to make him breathe easier.
After a while, Li Zhu calmed down and panted and said, "King Chu, it is no longer appropriate to fight in this battle.
He must withdraw his troops immediately."
If you withdraw your troops, be sure not to go back the same way you came.
If the imperial court sees our failure, it will definitely turn its back and send troops to stop us.
You can go west to the junction of Liangshan and the imperial court.
This is safer.
Li Zhu is guilty.
I am ashamed of myself.
I am ashamed of the King of Chu.
Help me today.
All disasters are caused by oneself, I hate, I hate.”
At this point, Li Zhu suddenly became excited, followed by a violent cough.
This time, no matter how gently the master patted him, it didn't help.
After a violent cough, Li Zhu opened his eyes and stopped breathing.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has left," the doctor said, feeling Li Zhu's pulse.
Wang Qing glanced at Li Zhu without saying anything, turned around and left with a heavy heart.
Wang Qing returned to his tent and sat there in deep thought.
There were many things he didn't understand about Li Zhu's words just now.
There is no problem with Li Zhu persuading him not to take the original path.
The main reason is the last sentence about bringing the blame on himself and the unfinished words about what he hates.
People are good at words when they are dying.
Li Zhu will not say useless words in his last moments. , so Li Zhu must be hiding something from himself.
Wang Qing sat there and thought quietly.
He and Li Zhu had known each other for a short time.
It can be said that Wang Qing's success today was inseparable from Li Zhu's suggestions.
The two of them were usually both kings and ministers, teachers and friends.
Wang Qing's trust in Li Zhu could not be higher, and he obeyed his words.
Even when everyone was opposed to sending troops to attack Daming Mansion this time, Wang Qing still chose to trust Li Zhu to lead the army.
The army came across the imperial territory Thinking of this, Wang Qing was suddenly startled, and a possibility emerged in his mind.
Li Zhu was entirely responsible for the negotiation between the imperial court and the Chu State to conquer Liangshan.
How exactly the negotiations were conducted?
Wang Qing could say that he had no knowledge at all, but Li Zhu told He is what he is, without the slightest doubt.
Could it be that he The more Wang Qing thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He stood up suddenly and shouted loudly, "Quickly call all civil and military personnel to the big tent to discuss matters."
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Qing's back.
He felt that he had fallen into a huge conspiracy.
No wonder the imperial court was so generous in giving them artillery.
No wonder he had no worries about his 300,000 troops crossing the border.
It seemed that this Everything had been planned by the imperial court, but I trusted Li Zhu too much and relaxed my vigilance.
When everyone came in one after another, Wang Qing said solemnly, "The Prime Minister has just died, which is a very big loss for our country.
Now the war situation is unfavorable and the morale of the generals is low, so I decided to follow your opinions and retreat."
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard that Li Zhu was dead.
Although everyone knew that Li Zhu was seriously injured and died soon, it was still a bit surprising that he was actually dead now.
Then they heard that Wang Qing agreed to withdraw the troops, and everyone showed a relaxed look on their faces.
Only Mi Sheng, who was standing behind, had deep unwillingness and anger hidden in his eyes:
