Chapter 405                                                             

Hua Mei'er didn't realize that there was a loophole in her escape from Pyeongchang City.

She was stunned for a moment, then said, "I am the Pyeongchang City that I am lucky enough to escape from among the unavoidable people!"

"Oh! So that's it!"

Ling Yun looked at the girl with a unique meaning.

If he remembered correctly, Hua Mei'er seemed to have said just now that the first thing the prefecture army did after attacking Pingchang City was to block the entire city.

Since the city has been sealed, how did the people in the city come out?

Although Ling Yun noticed that there was something wrong with Hua Mei'er's words, he did not continue to ask.

On that day, Li Yu ordered all the soldiers of the army to make straw men. That night, Li Yu led the main force of the border army and quietly retreated from the south bank of Wenghe River to return to Pingchang County under the night.

Those who continued to stay in the camp in the south bank were the only one thousand border soldiers selected by Chen Fang and he, and there were another ten thousand scarecrows who were only used to scare the enemy.

Let’s talk about Li Yu and his group rushing to Pingchang County while discussing strategies to defeat the enemy.

The newly built Pyeongchang City has tall and sturdy walls, which can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It is not easy for our own 50,000 border soldiers to break through the Pingchang City guarded by 20,000 prefecture troops.

Moreover, Tao Xiying, Li Heng, Li Yuan, Ji Yanyan and others have now become hostages in their hands.

Once our side pushes Li Feng and Li Ying in a hurry, they ask them to pull the hostages to the top of the city as a threat. Can our side continue this siege battle?

Good fortune will never come alone.

The border troops headed by Li Yu had not yet rushed back to Pyeongchang County, but bad news came from Pyeongchang County.

King Xing Li Heng was killed, and another 10,000 King Xing’s Mansion Army and 10,000 King Zheng’s Mansion Army have surrendered to Li Feng and Li Ying.

All the 20,000 royal palace troops have been incorporated by Li Feng and Li Ying.

In other words, the number of enemy troops in Pyeongchang City is now not only 20,000 prefecture troops, but also 20,000 royal government troops, totaling more than 40,000.

Upon hearing this news, Meng Liao, Gao Tu, Qin Shengying and other generals were all sucking coldly.

This battle was not easy to fight. Now, Li Feng and Li Ying have an additional 20,000 royal army, and this battle is even more difficult.

Li Yu was also shocked by the news.

He was surprised that it was not that the Xing Wangfu Army and the Zheng Wangfu Army were incorporated by Li Feng, Li Ying and others, but that Li Ying actually killed Li Heng.

Brother Fifteen is just a fool, but Li Ying is so cold-blooded that he doesn't even want to let go of a fool brother?

Is he still a human?

Now, Tao Xiying, Ji Yanyan, Li Yuan and others who fall into the hands of Li Feng and Li Ying are all in danger!

In the temporary central army tent.

Li Yu sat in the middle, Gao Tu, Meng Liao and others sat on both sides.

People looked solemn, and the atmosphere in the tent was very depressing.

Li Yu took the lead and asked: "Do you have any solutions to the current dilemma?"

The generals looked at each other, all silent.

Ling Yun and Yan Mo looked at each other, and the latter intervened to Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, I think it is urgent to find a way to rescue the Zheng Wang family, Princess Xing, and Miss Tao as soon as possible!"

Chu Ren, the elder of the Feiwei, slowly nodded and said, "As long as Princess Xing and King Zheng are still in the hands of Li Feng, Li Ying and others, then the 20,000 royal army will follow him and his two men."

Ling Yun and Chu Ren were right.

But the question is, how can we rescue Tao Xiying, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan?

Li Kang suddenly spoke, "Your Highness, I remember that there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city in Pingchang City!"

Li Yu's eyes flashed and he asked in surprise: "Why don't I know about this?"

Li Kang hurriedly said, "I have heard Miss Manying mention this before. This secret passage was dug by Tianjidao!"

Li Yu leaned forward and asked, "Do you know the entrance and exit of the secret passage?"

Li Kang said seriously: "I have heard Miss Manying say that I know the great position! I can sneak back to Pingchang County first and try to find it!"

Li Yu's eyes turned, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay! I'll go with you!"

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and quickly dissuaded: "Your Highness, don't take risks in person!"

Li Yu waved his hand to everyone and said, "There are General Gao, General Qin, and General Meng. I am very relieved. Whether I stay in the army is insignificant. Instead of pretending to be blindly commanding, it is better to follow Li Kang back to Pingchang County first. If you can find the secret passage to enter the city, you may be able to rescue the fifteenth emperor's sister-in-law and the sixteenth brother!"

Everyone looked at each other, frowning.

Li Yu said firmly: "Okay, the matter is settled! During my absence, the border soldiers will be temporarily led by General Gao!"

He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Gao Tu.

Gao Tu's ability to lead troops and manage troops is no less than that of Shen Fang.

However, Shen Fang is a genius, and he occasionally comes up with a ghost idea, making his military use unpredictable.

Gao Tu's use of troops tends to be conservative, steady and steady, and take every step forward. Before defeating the enemy, make sure that he does not make mistakes.

In short, Shen Fang and Gao Tu are two completely different styles of generals.

When Gao Tu heard this, he quickly stood up, thinking that Li Yu would intervene and salute, and said, "My teacher... is not knowledgeable, and I am afraid... I am not able to take on important tasks!"

Li Yu smiled at Gao Tu and said, "General Gao, you must have confidence in yourself. I am very optimistic about you!"

Gao Tu still wanted to refuse, Qin Shengying intervened and said, "Your Highness is wise!"

In the past, Your Highness always asked Shen Fang to be the head commander of the army.

It is rare that Shen Fang is not in the army now. His Highness handed over the position of the commander to Gao Tu. If he doesn't seize it, it will be too difficult to wait for such an opportunity in the future!

Li Yu smiled at Qin Shengying, nodded to Gao Tu, and said, "Okay! That's it!"

The discussion came to an end, and the generals said goodbye and left.

Neither the Feigu nor the Iron Guard left.

His Highness wanted to sneak back to Pyeongchang County first, so they naturally had to follow him.

Li Yu stood up and said to Jinwu: "Come Guanhou!"

Guan Hou is a subordinate of Man Ying.

Before Manying left Pyeongchang County, she specially introduced Guan Hou to Li Yu. If you have any questions, you can inform Guan Hou of the matter first, and then pass it on to her.

It didn't take long, and Guan Hou was taken in from outside by Jinwu.

When he saw Li Yu, Guan Hou immediately intervened and said, "Go to your Highness!"

Guan Hou is not very good-looking.

To be precise, Manying's subordinates all look more ordinary than the other.

Guan Hou was short and thin. He looked at him and was so weak that he was completely unattracting.

Li Yu waved his hand to Guanhou and said, "Guanhou, I ask you, before, if Tianjidao had dug a secret passage in Pingchang City, you could sneak into the city from outside the city!"

Guan Hou was stunned for a moment, bowed and said, "Report to your Highness, there is indeed this secret passage!"

"Can this secret passage be used now?"

"this……"

“What’s the problem?”

Guan Hou said seriously: "The villain has not checked this secret passage for a long time! Some time ago, Pyeongchang City was rebuilt, and various places were building construction. Whether the secret passage was destroyed, the villain... the villain is not sure!"

After a moment of pause, he added: "Also, Your Highness, this secret passage is extremely narrow and difficult for the army to pass!"
