Li Baihong looked at the list of those killed in the battle on the military register with a gloomy face, closed the military register fiercely and threw it on the table.
"We can't attack the city like this!"
"The capital has a rich treasury and sufficient supplies. If we continue to attack the city like this, what will happen even if we invade the city? What we will get is just an empty city."
"Getting a ruined capital city and sitting on the throne is just in name only."
"What I am most worried about is King Qin's army. If we continue to waste time like this, if King Qin's army arrives in advance, our efforts will be in vain and we will be executed."
Huang Youqing, Li Bohong's aide, rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, if it doesn't work out, just discuss it with the King of Shu and His Highness King Yun, and attack the city from all sides!"
"Only by securing the throne and obtaining the edict of abdication can we stop the coming army of King Qin."
"No matter whether King Qin's army will arrive in advance or not, we can't delay. Only by taking the throne legitimately can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"The assassins sent by His Majesty have been assassinated several times without success. One more day of delay will increase the risk of His Majesty being assassinated."
"Not every master you recruit can stop the gray-robed man who sees the dragon but never sees its tail."
Li Baihong thought for a while with a gloomy expression: "The news came from the informants in the city that the boss sent the imperial guards out of the city to sneak into our camp to look for artillery. However, more than twenty days have passed, but there has been no movement at all."
"Do you think this is groundless speculation, or do Lao San, Lao Wu and the others really have artillery in their hands?"
Huang Youqing lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say, but I would like to suggest that the ten cannons we cast can be transported from Anyuan County to attack the city?"
"The city gates have been completely sealed with bricks and stones. Without the assistance of artillery, the casualties would be too heavy if we attack them."
"Especially the King of Shu and King Heng are obviously standing together secretly, and their troops will be much larger than that of you, the prince."
"Even if we add the 50,000 elite soldiers lurking in Anyuan County, the prince's military strength may not be greater than the total military strength of King Heng of Shu."
"Especially none of us can guarantee whether His Royal Highnesses, Princes of Shu, are secretly hiding an army of troops like the princes."
"King Yun and King Jing form their own army. It's hard to say who will be favored after they attack the capital."
"Your Majesty, time waits for no one."
"The sooner we break the city and get the edict of abdication, the sooner we can be justified and have peace of mind."
Li Bohong frowned slightly, held his chin and pondered.
"We paid a lot of money to get the blueprints of the artillery. There is no reason why the third child couldn't get the artillery paper and cast the artillery privately."
"We have to think of a foolproof strategy, which not only prevents Lao San's cannonballs from falling on top of our heads, but also allows us to quickly attack the city."
"In this humble position, I see the four highnesses, King Shu, King Jing, King Yun, and King Heng."
The sound of the guards speaking loudly came from outside the account, and Li Baihong was stunned to know that it was the guards telling him that Li Yunlong and the others were coming.
He picked up the tea cup and sat on the chair with a calm expression, tasting the tea. Huang Youqing stood aside silently and stopped talking.
"Second brother, are you here?"
Knowing that Li Baihong was in the king's tent, Li Yunlong still asked.
"Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and seventh brother, if you don't plan the next step of attacking the city in the tent, why do you have the time to come to my brother's place? Please sit down quickly."
Li Baihong looked at the brothers sitting across from him and gently put down their teacups: "What's the matter with these brothers coming together?"
The fourth child, Li Yunping, sipped his tea quietly, becoming silent as usual.
Li Zhi hangs out with Lao San.
Lao Wu glanced at Li Yunlong and put down his teacup and looked at Li Baihong.
"Second brother, how about we brothers put aside their grudges and formulate a plan to attack the city? If we continue to attack like this, facing the capital with sufficient supplies, we don't know how many lives of brothers will be lost in vain."
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. Since we have jointly raised our troops, why do we need to defend each other when attacking the city?"
Li Baihong was startled and looked at the brothers calmly.
"Oh? What do the four brothers mean?"
Li Yunlong looked at Li Baihong calmly: "Each of you attack a city, whoever breaks the city first will give up 20% of the city as we agreed before. What about him?"
............
"See Your Majesty!"
Li Baiyu, who was eating dumplings on the city tower, paused and turned to look at the man in gray robe wearing a bamboo hat who suddenly appeared on the city wall at some unknown time.
"Senior, what's the matter?"
The man in gray robe leaned into Li Baiyu's ear and muttered for a moment. Li Baiyu's dumplings on his chopsticks slipped into the bowl at some point, and he looked at the man in gray robe in surprise.
"really?"
The man in gray robe took out a seal from his sleeve and handed it to Li Baiyu.
"The old Jin characters on the seal have been verified by officials from Honglu Temple who understand Jingwen."
"The Jin characters on this are Princess Yunhe."
"Princess Yunhe is exactly the title given to the little princess Wanyan Luoyue of the Kingdom of Jin. With her age and temperament, she is most likely right."
Li Baiyu quietly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, took the seal, looked through it, and placed it on the table.
"Where are the people?"
"Brother Li Jia is guarding us, just below the city."
"Bring it here! I want to see what this little princess of the Jin Kingdom is like who has caused a storm in the capital. Logically speaking, as the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom's army, she should have withdrawn her troops and returned home. Why did she appear in our Dalong Capital?"
"No matter what, let's bring it up first."
"According to the order! Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
While drinking tea, a clever and weird voice came to Li Baiyu's ears.
"Slow down, slow down, the city wall is so high, why are you walking so fast? At such an old age, don't you know how to pay attention?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Baiyu looked at the three people, two large and one small, who appeared on the tower in astonishment.
The little cutie sat on the neck of a gray-robed man with a displeased look on his face, pulling the gray-robed man's ears and turning them.
Li Baiyu stared blankly at the strange scene and looked at the man in gray robe from before.
"Senior Li Hu, what is this?"
Li Hu looked at Li Baiyu's stunned face, looked at the helpless gray-robed man Li Jia, shrugged his shoulders, and licked his lips at the little cutie.
"The prisoner has no consciousness at all. If you threaten her, she will act rogue. Due to her identity, we can only follow her and bring her back."
"On the way, the two old brothers were treated like servants of her family. Without knowing it, they thought they were accompanying her on an outing!"
Li Baiyu glanced at the little cutie in surprise.
"Are you the little princess Wanyan Luoyue of the Kingdom of Jin?"
Li Baiyu glanced at the little cutie, who was looking at Li Baiyu. When he heard Li Baiyu's question, the cutie smiled and nodded.
"OK."
The little cutie patted Li Jia's bamboo hat: "Stupid grandpa, don't let the moon come down yet, be careful that the moon will pull your beard."
Li Jia smiled bitterly, knelt down and put the little cutie down.
The little cutie slowly walked up to Li Baiyu and bowed: "Yue'er meets half of my uncle!"
"Half...half uncle?"
Li Baiyu, who has always been steady, never expected that one day he would be confused by a little girl of about ten years old.
"OK!"
"You are my father's eldest uncle and Chengqian's brother's uncle, but Yue'er is the daughter of Chengqian's aunt, so you can only be half of Yue'er's uncle!"
Li Baiyu clasped his fingers secretly but still couldn't figure out the ethical relationship Xiao Keai mentioned.
Looking at the little cutie who was not afraid of him, Li Baiyu frowned slightly.
"I am the Emperor Dalong, and you are the little princess of the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin and Dalong are the enemy countries. You were captured by my guards alone and were escorted to me."
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
The little cutie shrank her neck: "No... don't be afraid. You are Uncle Yue'er. How could your uncle be willing to kill his niece?"
"Aren't you afraid why are you trembling?"
"It's cold, I can't help it."
Li Baiyu looked at the little cutie with interest: "Then tell me why the uncle can't kill the niece?"
"Because daddy said that there are weird uncles in this world. There are no weird uncles. Uncles are good uncles, and good uncles will not kill Yue'er."
"hehe........"
Li Baiyu couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help but feel the urge to kill this smart, weird, cute little girl.
"You are a prisoner. Killing you is like squeezing an ant to death. If I were you, I would not be so ignorant!"
"Whether I kill you or not is up to me. You really are not afraid!"
The little cutie shrank her neck and finally puffed up her chest!
"This princess is not afraid of death, it's not Liu Luoyue who is afraid of death!"
