At this moment, Zhao Kun ran over after hearing the news. He clenched his fists and his eyes were as hot as fire.
"I heard that Gao Tuoshan was beheaded? What on earth is going on? General Yue, could it be that you sent a surprise army?"
Yue Fei shook his head, his eyes equally confused: "There are not enough manpower in the city, so it cannot be our people. They must be brother troops coming from outside to support us."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun was confused: "Brotherly troops? How can we have any brotherly troops?"
"Although the prince is making camp every step of the way in Bianjing, he has been suppressed by the Cai clan and has been unable to gain access to military power."
"Except for the Tiger Wing Army, the prince does not have any extra soldiers in his hands."
Just as the two of them were looking at each other in confusion, Wang Ben had already led a dozen brave warriors to chase the defeated troops all the way to the city wall.
Wang Ben carried the sharpened long sword and rushed up to the city wall panting, preparing to cut off the escape route and kill all the remaining broken soldiers in the city.
As a result, as soon as he stepped onto the city wall with his front feet, he was completely stunned with his back feet.
The city walls are densely packed with corpses...
Judging from the armor scattered on the ground, these corpses were all Gao Tuoshan's personal guards, and all of them were disarmed and armored before they died.
Wang Ben immediately understood that these people did not die in battle, but were massacred.
"These soldiers are all veterans with good fighting prowess. Why did they die so cowardly?"
"Is there anyone in the world who can make them lose their morale and leave them to die in such a useless manner?"
Just when Wang Ben was secretly surprised, a sharp-eyed daredevil had discovered the clues, rushed to the pile of dead people, and pulled up a headless corpse.
"Lord Wu Wei!"
"This was the only corpse at the scene that had been beheaded, and there were general armors scattered around it. I'm afraid this person is Gao Tuoshan."
Gao Tuoshan? Beheading?
Wang Ben suddenly remembered something, and suddenly his whole body trembled with excitement.
"It's the prince!"
"The prince has been here before and killed Gao Tuoshan with his own hands!"
As soon as these words came out, the brave warriors were stunned. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Wang Ben, who was already exhausted, was now full of energy and tapping his feet excitedly.
"Hahaha! It's definitely the prince!"
"Only the prince can shock these thieves to pieces, causing them to kneel down and execute them."
"The big bet that the prince and your majesty made was to take away the head of the dog from Gao Tuo Mountain. Counting the days, when the time limit was approaching, the prince personally went to Yizhou and took the head of the dog from Gao Tuo Mountain."
At this moment, the warrior dared to find a hidden personal guard behind the arrow stack on the city wall.
"Lord Wu Wei, we found a living person."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ben's eyes brightened, he rushed to the soldier in three steps at a time, and shouted loudly: "Be honest, and I will give you a good pleasure."
"Did you see it? Is it the prince?"
The soldier was already frightened to death. Recalling what happened before, the soldier's face was ashen and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Your Highness...Prince Ding of the Song Dynasty..."
"The most cruel prince in the Song Dynasty..."
Although the soldiers were so frightened that they could not speak coherently, Wang Ben was already convinced that the one who sneaked into the rear camp, killed Gao Tuoshan and turned the tide of the battle was the real king.
At this moment, the trembling voice of the soldier came again.
I saw the soldiers staring straight at the stairs to climb the wall, and said nonchalantly: "Prince Ding ascended first, and ten thousand people are not worthy of it, killing people like hemp..."
Wang Ben, who was already extremely excited, became even more excited when he heard this and trembled all over, clenching his fists tightly.
His eyes were wide open, burning with fierce admiration, but at the same time he was extremely annoyed, cursing himself why he hadn't come a step earlier and missed the opportunity to meet King Ding himself.
"Damn it! It's just one step away from meeting the prince."
All the brave warriors were equally shocked.
"The person who ascended first is actually the prince?"
"Anyone who can get there first will be an invincible warrior. I never expected that the prince, sitting in Bianjing, pampered and pampered, would be so powerful."
"No wonder General Yue is so devoted to the prince. Who dares to doubt the prince's ability now?"
"Wen Ke fights the treacherous ministers and traitors in the court, and Wu Ke wears armor and rebels and takes his head! This is the King Ding for whom we serve!"
"Ding Wang does not mean stability and enjoyment, but... Wu Ding Qian Kun!"
Dare warriors have always worshiped the strong. Although they have never even met Zhao Huan, their admiration for Zhao Huan has reached the extreme.
Even if Zhao Huan asked them to die now, they would kill themselves with swords without hesitation.
As if he felt that he had endless strength, Wang Ben took off his armor, ran from the city wall to the government office in one breath, and told Yue Fei and Zhao Kun everything he found on the city wall.
After learning that Zhao Huan had traveled thousands of miles to attack and take the heads of enemy generals, he brushed off his clothes and left, hiding his merit and fame.
Zhao Kun slapped his hand on the table and said with gleaming eyes: "I'm telling you! Your Majesty will never let Yizhou go."
"It's a pity that the prince came and left quickly, so I missed the opportunity to meet him."
Yue Fei slowly closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he did not react as violently as Zhao Kun, his heart was already filled with waves.
He can serve Zhao Huan and has no regrets in his life!
After a while, Yue Fei slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since the prince has not entered the city, it means that he is eager to return to the capital. I guess he is worried about the Cai clique's interception."
"The prince's visit to Yizhou must not be spread to anyone else!"
Only then did Zhao Kun react and nodded repeatedly: "General Yue's words are absolutely true!"
Zhao Kun suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm and ordered: "Our army is no longer able to pursue the defeated troops. Just clean up the city, rest and recuperate quickly, report the battle situation to the Ministry of War, and replenish the Tiger Wing Army with soldiers and supplies as soon as possible."
"If the Jin soldiers take advantage of the emptiness of our army to attack, the consequences will be disastrous."
The battle is over, but the real war has not yet begun. The Jin soldiers are the real enemies of the Tiger Wing Army.
…
Bianjing, Dingwangfu.
Zhu Lian, who was in the front hall, was already restless. Zhao Huan had been missing for ten days. In order to avoid causing turmoil, Zhu Lian did not dare to say anything, but her heart was always hanging in her throat.
"Changfu! Where has the prince gone?"
"The deadline for Yizhou's gamble has come to an end. His Majesty has summoned the prince to the palace to fulfill the contract. If the prince does not show up again, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Zhu Lian was extremely angry, but Chang Fu, a bastard, was too loyal to Zhao Huan. Even Zhu Lian, who was a royal princess, could not pry Chang Fu's mouth open.
At this time, Changfu wanted to die.
Zhao Huan asked him to find reasons to prevaricate Zhu Lian. The problem was... Zhu Lian was too smart and could always seize loopholes and expose them on the spot.
In the end, he was forced to have no choice but to stop lying. He kept his mouth shut and assumed a "refuse to cooperate" posture.
Even Xiao Xia couldn't stand it any longer and shouted: "Changfu, you are right! Don't you want to rush to death, Your Highness the Princess?"
