Chapter 301 We only need to delay for another half a day
With these things in hand, even if the defending general holds a grudge, he will not dare to act rashly.
It can also make the Eighth Prince, who knows the situation, feel a little fearful.
Of course, there is another possibility.
The Eighth Prince directly wiped out the entire clan, preventing all of them from returning to the capital, and sent people to assassinate them and take the letter back!
Chu Xi blinked after listening to Han Yaojun's retelling. "He is really a man of great talent and courage. Isn't he afraid that they will get desperate and unite to silence him first?"
"Too many people know about that matter, and the signs of involvement are too obvious. We can find out easily with a simple investigation!" Han Yaojun shook his head in amusement, not knowing whether he was agreeing with Chu Xi or laughing at Chu Xi for thinking too simply.
"What do you think?"
"This is our last chance. The rebels at the north gate have been repelled. As long as we can hold out until the remaining reinforcements arrive, the situation will be completely reversed!"
Han Yaojun knew that just because they missed their target, it didn't mean they would just sit there and wait for death.
This matter is of no small importance. At the very least, he will become infamous, demoted to a commoner, and have no connection with the royal family of the Great Zhou anymore.
In serious cases, the offender will be imprisoned in the clan house for life and will never be allowed to go out again.
Even for the Eighth Prince himself, he would never show mercy.
"I'm afraid some people don't want us to be alive." Chu Xi narrowed his eyes.
The Eighth Prince was so desperate that he was not hesitant to use money to bribe the guards who were not under his command in order to prevent the arrival of reinforcements, and thus left such a big handle in Tang Yuhuai's hands.
Even for his own life, he would not leave a single person alive. The city of Xi'an must be captured by Western Chu!
"Therefore, whether the rear army can arrive safely will be the key to determining the overall situation." Han Yaojun continued.
Chu Xi looked like a hero who saw the same thing.
Han Yaojun was worried that the Eighth Prince might have a backup plan, so after some thought, he decided to send someone to accompany the First Prince to support the battle.
As he said this, Chu Xi touched his right ear.
All the injuries in other places have been treated, only this one is left behind.
The arrow wound was unusual. Even though she dodged in time, the sharp arrow still cut her skin.
The blood on the ear has scabbed over, but the pain is not so easy to heal.
"How did you get hurt?" Zhou Yichen's attention was always on Chu Xi, and he naturally did not miss her action of touching her ear.
He fixed his eyes and frowned slightly. The fair white ear was now stained with a large patch of blood and there was a clear cut.
"It's just a slight cut." Chu Xi said in a relaxed tone.
Compared to the other injuries on the body, the small cut on the ear is really nothing.
Zhou Yichen's worries were revealed without restraint, and he said helplessly, "Why didn't you tell me when I was treating your wound just now?"
Chu Xi was startled, "I forgot it at that time."
"I'll apply some medicine for you when we get back." Zhou Yichen sighed, feeling helpless about Qi Bai's careless and inattentive attitude.
"It's okay, this little injury can heal without applying medicine." Chu Xi put down his hand and answered indifferently.
Han Yaojun listened to the two of them speaking skillfully and naturally, and after thinking it over, he decided not to let Chu Jiang go.
Originally, the most suitable candidate in his mind was Chu Jiang, who was brave, resourceful, and had great martial arts skills. Among all the people, he was the most suitable candidate and no one could match him.
But after their conversation, Han Yaojun suddenly realized that Chu Jiang was seriously injured this time. He and Chu Er and others had been the rear guard, facing thousands of Western Chu soldiers...
I am exhausted both physically and mentally at this moment. If I continue to run around, the wound will probably split open again.
After much deliberation, Han Yaojun asked Han Ziyu to find Yuan Qi and bring a few Han family soldiers with him.
Upon hearing this, Han Ziyu immediately nodded and started to do it.
Yun Jiyu was listening at the side and suddenly suggested going together.

At this moment, the Eighth Prince, who was far away in the capital, was so angry that he drew his sword, just as they had expected.
He received the message from the carrier pigeon, and when he saw the content, his face became even uglier and more pale.
The guarding general couldn't do anything to Tang Yuhuai as his lifeline was on his hands. Tang Yuhuai also had the General's Mansion behind him so he didn't dare to act rashly. But that didn't mean he wouldn't tell the Eighth Prince!
He can fan the flames and get the Eighth Prince to take action!
Even if the General's Mansion really found out about it later, what would happen? Could they openly go against the imperial power?
Therefore, the garrison commander deliberately exaggerated the letter, saying that when Tang Yuhuai took the letters away, he threatened to present the letters to His Majesty and let all the officials in the court know!
Zhou Yichen pulled out the sword from the guard next to him, and without saying a word, he chopped at the pillar next to him, venting his anger.
"Okay, okay! One Chu Jiang is not enough, now we need another Tang Yuhuai, right?"
"Very good, since they are so ruthless, don't blame me for being cruel and merciless!"
Since one plan doesn't work, then just destroy them all to avoid the possibility of them springing up again when the spring breeze blows.
Tang Yuhuai had already followed the clues in Chaozhou and found out that there was something fishy behind the bandit incident. The Eighth Prince then reported the incident and ordered all of them to lie in wait and not let him find out the key information.
Including the secrets hidden behind the mountain occupied by bandits!
The crisis in Chaozhou was finally resolved temporarily, and the emperor appointed Tang Yuhuai and his elder brother to lead troops to the border for support.
He originally thought that it was not necessary to kill Tang Yuhuai. It would be fine as long as he broke his limbs and made him a disabled person, and then he could return to Beijing.
Who would have thought that he was so bold as to openly confront him and take away all the correspondence!
"Send a message to Chaozhou and plan your actions in advance. I want to completely change the situation in this Great Zhou!"
Instead of living in fear every day, it is better to change the sky!
Only if I become the hand that can cover the sky, who else can turn over his palm!
The guard was frightened by Zhou Yichen's action and did not dare to question him. He immediately did as he said.
-
There are countless tents stationed a few hundred meters outside the south gate of Xi'an.
The soldiers patrolling outside the tent came and went, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
In the commander's tent, Qi Minsong's wound had been treated urgently, but the wound on the back of his hand was not the most serious...
The worst injury was the sword wound on the chest. The sword wound was about an inch deep, and the military doctor said it almost pierced the heart.
Upon hearing this, Qi Minsong's confidants became extremely worried.
I was afraid that the military doctor couldn’t save the person.
Qi Jianshu only took a quick glance to know that the wound must have been left by Chu Jiang. Apart from him, no one else had this ability.
The move was silent, fast and accurate, just one step away...
The military doctor carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sutured Qi Minsong's wound. There was no anesthetic during the whole process, and he had to grit his teeth and endure it all on his own.
Qi Minsong woke up from the pain, but even so, he still endured it and did not scream, but bit his own hand instead.
After the wound was sutured, Qi Jianshu could not wait to report the situation, "It will take another half day for the Japanese army to arrive. We only need to delay for another half day."
Japan is a small country, and it has been in constant friction with other small countries, and wars have broken out from time to time.
Now only 50,000 troops have been mobilized.
And because the distance to Da Zhou is farther than that to Xi Chu, it requires a detour and takes a longer time.
