Chapter 1597 Escape in embarrassment
Chapter 1597 Escape in embarrassment
"I think after what happened today, you can guess what Chang Xuewei is up to." Chen Changli's expression was solemn.
When Han Yi heard his words, some bad thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind.
He frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but then he thought it was unnecessary.
It is a fact that the Eighth Prince will abandon the city. There are many people in this city. If they knew about this, they would turn to the Ninth Prince to get a chance to breathe, but the price would be too high.
As the prince's man, even if he had some concerns, he had to take responsibility to defend Yongzhou City and not let innocent people pay such a heavy price.
"I know what to do, but Chang Xuewei is the one who sabotages us behind the scenes. We must catch her as soon as possible. Otherwise, with her cooperating with the Ninth Prince, no matter how capable we are, we won't be able to defend Yongzhou City."
Han Yi immediately perked up and spoke quickly. Once he made a decision, he would adjust his mood, then concentrate on thinking about the situation at hand, thinking about how to break the impasse.
"Tu Zhizhi went to arrest someone. To prevent her from doing the same as the Eighth Prince, I also sent people to keep an eye on her." Chen Changli immediately said, "Don't worry too much about this. Lin Jing will be with Tu Zhizhi."
“If Tu Zhizhi learns from the Eighth Prince, Lin Jing will capture Chang Xuewei as soon as possible and then pass the news to us.”
"So we don't need to worry about what's going on over there. We have to focus on what's happening right now. It's best to guard the city gate and prevent Li Keyi and his men from rushing in."
After Chen Changli finished speaking, he began to understand the arrangements made by Hanyi before, and then made some slight changes to make the city defense force stronger.
He also decided to charge into battle, first to scare Li Keyi into submission and force him to retreat, and then make other plans.
Hanyi was not good at leading troops in battle, but after thinking it over he agreed to his request and then cooperated with him.
The two of them trusted each other and cooperated well. In less than an hour, the situation turned in their favor.
"Chen Changli, I'm going to kill you." Li Keyi and Chen Changli met on the battlefield. Li Keyi was full of confidence, but he didn't expect to be defeated in less than half a minute.
He valued his life very much, so in order to survive, he had to flee in a panic.
After escaping to a safe place, he roared in frustration, as if he wanted to roar out all the resentment and anger in his heart.
"General Li, we have misjudged the Eighth Prince's plan this time, so I'm afraid we have to suspend the battle this time."
Hearing Li Keyi's cursing, a haggard middle-aged man quickly glanced at Li Keyi.
Confirming that he hated Chen Changli to the core, he first lowered his eyes to adjust his emotions, then raised his eyes to look at Li Keyi and expressed his thoughts.
Li Keyi already felt that his escape was a disgrace, and now he turned his anger and resentment into sharp words and cursed them out, hoping to make everyone realize his unwillingness, but he did not expect that anyone would want to suspend the war.
"What did you say?" Li Keyi's eyes swept over like a knife.
The middle-aged man's heart was pounding, but he didn't show it on his face. He said calmly, "We are already defeated now. If we continue to attack, they will only take advantage of the situation and pursue us."
"Then we will be the losers, General Li. The situation is urgent. We have to stop the offensive and make plans."
"If we stick to our previous plan, we might lose our lives here."
The middle-aged man said this earnestly. When the others heard it and thought of their own situations, they quickly agreed: "General Wang is absolutely right. General Li, we have to leave quickly! If they catch up with us, I'm afraid we won't even be able to return to our camp."
"A bunch of rats." Li Keyi felt very uncomfortable after listening to these people's words. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to do it. He could only curse them.
Wang Yu showed a bitter expression: "I have no choice but to advise you like this. If we have a chance of winning, I will only advise you to continue the pursuit and never let them live."
He said this in a murderous tone, as if if Li Keyi insisted on attacking back, he would be willing to sacrifice his life to accompany him.
Li Keyi understood the meaning of his words and his mind raced, as if he was considering various feasibility scenarios.
However, no matter which one it was, he would never lead people to fight back because he valued his life.
"Let's go back first." Li Keyi decided to find Li Keyong to see what he thought, so he mounted his horse and quickly headed towards his residence.
His speed was so fast that Wang Yu was quite shocked. After a while, he reacted and quickly called on everyone to catch up, "Everyone, don't just stand there, hurry up and chase him!"
"Why is General Li running so fast? Doesn't he still want to kill Chen Changli?" someone couldn't help but speak.
When he said this, everyone else was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, seemingly not knowing how to answer.
Wang Yu glared at him fiercely: "You can only say this in front of me. If others hear it, you'll have to watch out for your life!"
After he finished speaking, he put his hand to his lips, coughed, and continued, "General Li is of noble status. He hurried back in a hurry just to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to make a decision."
"So with him here, even if we fail this time, we won't be punished too much, unless he continues to lead people to break through Yongzhou City and then continues to fail, then we may be pushed out by him as scapegoats."
"So I hope you can think clearly about what is right and what is wrong. Don't let your imagination run wild and don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, you will be hated by others and you won't know what happened even after you die."
Li Keyi is capable, but not as capable as Li Keyong. As a relative of the ninth prince's wife, Wang Yu has long seen through these two brothers.
He would rather it was Li Keyong who came to attack the city this time than Li Keyi.
Unfortunately, Li Keyi had other things to do. He was not a real general, but he was good at fighting and tall.
In addition, her sister was quite favored by the Ninth Prince, so she whispered some words in his ear and made him a general.
So when Li Keyi failed, his first thought was to persuade him to go back and stop attacking the city. He never expected that Li Keyi would just abandon them and run away alone.
It was as if there was a dog chasing him, and he was afraid that if he ran a step slower, he would lose his life.
"You all listened to what I said. I think you already know what to say and what not to say."
Wang Yu suppressed some thoughts in his mind, mounted his horse, said something to everyone, and then quickly chased after Li Keyi.
Everyone immediately gathered their minds and chased after them with the idle soldiers.
When Chen Changli led his troops to chase after them, all they could see was a layer of dust raised by their horses.
"You run pretty fast." Chen Changli sneered, and directly arranged for some people to be stationed here, and then returned to the outer city to arrange other matters.
Han Yi saw him and immediately stepped forward: "Did Li Keyi abandon his men and run away? What are you going to do next? Do you want to pursue him?"
