Cao Kang listened to the report of his men and said very firmly.
Their men and horses started chasing him from the capital and all the way to Huizhou, but there was no trace at all.
And not only is there no news from the direction of Huizhou, there is also no news coming from Shaanzhou and Jeju.
Although this average-sized child has killed a lot.
But judging from the final result, there is no emperor at all!
Cao Kang almost went crazy with anger.
"Sir, it stands to reason that there should be no problem with our thinking. Could it be that someone below missed it?"
Ban Gu frowned and said.
He was also very confused.
In his opinion, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible.
If Zhang Bao and the others leave, there will be no other way except these directions.
Could it be said that they also took other routes?
Or rather, could it be that the person who attacked the little emperor was not Zhang Bao at all?
"Missed?"
"Can one person miss it, so many people, so many times?"
"It's really evil!"
“If it’s not Zhang Bao’s men, who are they?”
Cao Kang said angrily.
All of a sudden.
Everyone in the entire hall was silent.
This matter is really strange.
Some people even suspected that this was not the case at all, and that the little emperor had been burned to death in the previous fire.
As for the ashes and so on, they were taken away by eunuchs or guards.
certainly.
They dared to think about these words in their hearts, but they would never dare to say them in front of Cao Kang.
"Um……"
"Sir, I just thought about it from beginning to end, and I feel that there will be no problem."
"Our idea is not wrong, but the reason why no trace has been found so far is because Zhang Bao's people are too cunning and must have made some disguises. It is very possible that not everyone is together."
"It's possible that some of the people have already dispersed back, and only a small number of people are left, guarding the emperor as he walks."
"As for the fact that the emperor was not discovered... I suspect that either they hid the emperor all the way, maybe somewhere in the carriage."
"Either there is a woman among them, and they even disguised the emperor as a woman. In this way, our people didn't find it when they were looking for it."
"After all, we have now chased into Huizhou."
"No matter how fast they are, they will never be able to surpass our men and horses!"
Ban Gu thought for a while and said to Cao Kang.
"Dressed as a woman?"
"Are you kidding?!"
Cao Kang said to Ban Gu.
"Sir, in order to escape, what's the point even if it's really a joke?"
"At least when I think about it, that's what I would do if I were these people!"
"When leaving, first find a group of women and disguise the emperor as a woman. This way, there will be no suspicion on the way."
"It's not that we're chasing too slowly, it's just that we're chasing too fast!"
Ban Gu nodded and said.
After listening to Ban Gu's words, everyone nodded silently.
According to the current situation, what Ban Gu said can indeed be explained.
"In this case, give the order and search various inns and restaurants along the way. Even if they want to hurry, they will always stop. Moreover, it is the rainy season now, and their speed will not be too fast."
"Just search for me along the way!"
"Let's all disperse!"
Cao Kang sighed and said to everyone.
"Brother Ban Gu, please stay for a while!"
Just when everyone was about to go out.
Cao Kang called Ban Gu back.
"Brother Ban Gu, things have been too disturbing recently. As for my attitude just now, don't mind it!"
"You really have a bunch of losers, but at the critical moment, you don't have any tricks at all!"
Cao Kang said to Ban Gu.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. This matter has nothing to do with them. It's really unbelievable."
Ban Gu said with a smile.
"But I just thought about it, even if the emperor can't find it, so be it!"
"We can't keep wasting our time on this, going back and forth. It's been more than a month and there's still no news."
"If we had started the trouble earlier, maybe we wouldn't have had to go to such trouble."
Cao Kang said with some regret.
For more than a month, Cao Kang has been busy looking for the little emperor, and other things have even been put on hold.
Even the Shaanzhou side's repeated setbacks didn't pay much attention.
In order to find the emperor, hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized, not to mention a lot of military resources, but nothing has been found.
"Sir, what do you mean..."
Ban Gu was a little surprised.
"I decided to proclaim myself emperor!"
Cao Kang slowly said to Ban Gu.
"ah?"
"Sir, are you a little anxious to do this?"
After hearing Cao Kang's words, Ban Gu was a little surprised.
According to Ban Gu's plan, he waited until Cao Kang's side was in chaos and everyone in the world was condemning him.
Therefore, Ban Gu had already arranged for his troops to pursue the young emperor in the direction of his escape. The purpose was to kill the young emperor and put the charge of regicide and rebellion on Cao Kang's head.
At that time, before Cao Kang proclaims himself emperor, use his dead soldiers to kill Cao Kang.
At this time, Cao Kang was just a thief.
He can also capture all the forces under him.
Moreover, once he ascends the throne and rewards Cao Kang's men one by one, they will all turn to his side.
Your throne will be secure.
If Cao Kang once proclaimed himself emperor, it would also trigger a crusade from the people of the world.
But at this time, Cao Kang had hundreds of thousands of troops and many people supporting him. When Cao Kang became emperor, the status of those under him would also rise accordingly.
Maybe for the sake of his own wealth, he would firmly support Cao Kang.
It would be too late to attack Cao Kang at that time.
"in a hurry?"
"Look at what people in this world have already scolded me for?"
"For them, many things that I didn't do are all blamed on me. What else do they have to worry about at this time?!"
"Once I proclaim myself emperor, my troops will be mobilized and I will be able to claim my title."
"When the time comes, we will capture Hezhou with lightning speed."
"Even if his little emperor arrives in Hezhou, what will happen?"
"At that time, many forces in the world were in my hands, and a mere little emperor could not do anything at all!"
Cao Kang said coldly.
During this time, Cao Kang had completely lost his face.
Now that you have achieved this level, why bother clinging to the previous understandings?
Whoever has the soldiers is the boss!
If you don't accept it, I will kill you!
Now it seems that in the whole of Daxia, there is basically no problem in other places. The only one that can compete with so many people is Hezhou!
Today's Hezhou is no longer simply the territory of Hezhou before. It also has the people and resources of Taizhou, Fan Hanzhong is in charge, and Zhang Bao is also a powerful figure.
But even so, they in Hezhou only have more than 200,000 troops.
I now have more than 400,000!
There are even more generals under his command. Even if they are blocked from attacking Hezhou from the south, if they send troops with so many troops, they can join forces with the troops from Jeju to attack together.
By the way, we borrowed the road from Jeju and went directly to Hezhou!
