The third prince and the fourth prince with 20,000 troops just stopped to rest and had time to take a breath when they encountered a surprise attack by the enemy army that appeared out of nowhere.

The two princes, who had never been on the battlefield, saw the scene of the flesh and blood flying in front of them like hell, and the blood on their faces receded very spinelessly and retreated, losing the commander's command, the brain was even more blank, and the instinctive reaction of the body was shown at this time, and there was no other way but to escape.

It was terrible, it was completely different from the picture he had drawn in his mind before, and the two princes now had the same heart, and they couldn't stop shaking the hand holding the reins, and the cold sweat on their palms almost couldn't grasp it.

The raid was very smooth, 20,000 to 20,000 losses were within the estimated range, an overwhelming victory, and the two princes were captured, and the battle situation on Yan Hongyi's side was also remarkable, capturing one prince, and the other prince was shot by random arrows when he fled in panic, fell off his horse and was trampled by the rioting horses and died, and his death was extremely tragic.

The three princes were thrown into a room and guarded, and the two sides were cleaning up the battlefield and had no time to manage the stupidity of the bluff and shouting.

The happiest thing for a soldier is to clean up the battlefield, not only to pick up weapons but also to eat a war horse that has just died, and it is always pleasant to be stained with meat.

The victory in this battle does not mean anything, Yan Hongyi and the Wing King discussed whether to march forward, not wait for reinforcements to arrive before starting the battle, Xi Chao nodded in agreement, rested for a night and continued to drive, heading towards the next town.

The Xi Dynasty had a lot more work to do than the Yan Army, and it was important to pacify the people in the city. There were also some captured soldiers who dealt with the problem, and after meeting with the Yan brothers, they went about their own business, and they had to leave a territory that had no trouble. Avoid the danger of being attacked on the belly and back.

When the Yan army once again succeeded in the next city, the royal court of the patriotic royal family was shocked by a bad premonition, and the spies who reported the news sent two pieces of news, one was the current process of the Mu army, and the other was that the four princes led the troops to be defeated and captured.

When the news came out, the court was silent, and they didn't dare to confirm that they had lost so quickly and so badly, and all 40,000 troops were wiped out, and it was only a few days of work. Mu Jun is not impregnable, why did things become like this.

For the old Emperor Weiguo, he only had four sons, and now the third son is still dead, and one son is dead, which can be described as a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his cloudy eyes are empty and look out of the hall. The surrounding qiē seemed to be suddenly cut off, unconscious and silent in his thoughts.

If Mu Jun was more ruthless and beheaded the bodies of the three princes and hung them above the city gate to show the public, the Weiguo Mansion would now have to hope for the army.

Before the courtiers could speak to persuade them to come up with their ideas, another piece of news came back. The Yan Kingdom has already occupied five cities of the Wei Kingdom. I don't know what method was used to bypass the border pass, the army invaded the city silently, and no one in the city was spared.

The typical treacherous act of Yan Guo once again threw thunder at the Wei Guo court, and the Wei Emperor immediately became angry and spurted blood and fainted, and the courtiers immediately panicked when they saw this.

Yan Hongyi learned the previous lesson and started to work more attentively, and when he took another city, he met the guards who came to support, and the battle started because the battlers were experienced soldiers, and this battle was not better than the previous small fight, but fortunately, there was an advantage in troops, so that there was no need to be too nervous.

After Xichao dealt with the matter at hand, he went to take a look at the patriotic prince who was locked up. followed by Xu Mian, who was joining in the fun.

The door was opened, and the room that had not been seen for a long time ushered in a dazzling light. The three princes subconsciously closed their eyes when the light flashed, and when they got used to it, they opened it again, and saw a snow-white fox fur wrapped in a cold-faced young man entering the house.

Xi Chao sat down on the chair that moved into the house, Xu Mian also got a seat for the cheap of the Wing King, and sat down to watch the play lazily.

Because they only gave one meal a day, the three princes were pale and weak, and they had no strength in their bodies, and they had just been thrown into the house, shouting and screaming consumed a lot of strength, and they saw that the food they brought was like pig food and broke the rice bowl and lost their temper, and there were tables and chairs in the house but they were smashed by the three grumpy princes and couldn't use them for a long time, so they let people withdraw, and there was nothing else in the room except for a bed.

Hungry for three days in a row, the three princes who were pampered in the past have suffered such crimes, they are really hungry, the meal sent at noon on the fourth day was eaten up, and they still don't feel full, and then they ask for a meal outside the house no one answers, no matter how they toss, there is no response, only to find that their actions are not used to consume the body at all, and after a while, they feel hungry, and the days are long, and the three of them find that there is only one meal a day, just like the first meal, they want to save big fish and meat, and it is estimated that they only have it in their dreams at night.

In fact, sleeping is also a luxury idea, only one quilt at night, at the beginning the three of them fought for the mattress, and so on to taste the taste of hunger, then aggressive, no strength in the hands is at most a tie, and then there is a night to sleep alone plus a thin quilt does not block the wind at all, the weather in January is particularly obstructive and biting, wearing clothes wrapped in the quilt still in the middle of the night to wake up with teeth chattering.

People are forced out, the three of them each experienced the taste of cold, and suddenly figured out, in this place, only the three brothers can live by relying on each other, if they are frozen to death, how embarrassing, if you want to live, you must give up some useless mustard.

Thinking that one person sleeps cold, it will be better for three big men to huddle together, and it is not easy to snuggle up to each other and finally get a good night's sleep. In my dreams, I always fantasize about the arrival of reinforcements to wipe out the lowly Mu army and get myself. It's a pity that dreams are dreams after all, and in the past half a month, the three of them can be said to have spent their days like years, and they still feel too slow to pass the time after all kinds of ways to pass the time.

It was past noon to deliver food, when I suddenly heard footsteps stop outside the door, and then the dazzling light shone in, suddenly adding a touch of warmth to the rough room.

Xi Chao looked at the three people who were sitting on the bed surrounded by wolves, and felt a little cold and ordered people to add two stoves, and the conversation would go on for a while, so he couldn't be wronged by the cold.

Two charcoal fires were lit and placed in the room, and the sudden warmth made the three of them look at the boy more, and moved their stiff bodies slightly. Still sitting on the bed has no intention of going to the ground.

Xi Chao doesn't care about the rules or regulations, the three people in front of him are prisoners, there is no need to put on a fake face, and besides, he is not good at it.

The clever Red Rui brought hot tea and dried fruits. For the master to use, in fact, the person who eats is also idle Xu Mian.

Eating dried fruits in front of the three people who couldn't eat enough was called a fragrant, and Xu Mian deliberately teased the three people who were secretly swallowing saliva on the bed, not to mention how happy they were.

Xi Chao pursed his lips and smiled at Xu Mian's evil taste, and took the warm tea entrance handed by Hongrui.

The three princes did not speak, and they could see that it was the young man who was in charge, and he had used it here since the elementary school meeting. Adhering to the strategy of not moving the enemy, I will not move, and wait patiently.

"Who can tell or draw the layout of the palace?" Xi Chao put down the teacup and bluntly said his intentions.

The three of them glanced at each other when they heard this, and one of them spoke: "Why should I sue you, are you Mu Jun's lackey or lobbyist?" "There will be more things to be tricked out of the mouth before the identity of the teenager is unknown.

"You don't have the ability to negotiate terms with me. There is no power to say no. Xi Chao uncovered the scars that the three people in front of him wanted to cover with one hand, and clearly told the three of them that they didn't have to think about anything other than obediently cooperating, it was all unnecessary and superfluous.

"Who are you?" The three of them were angry and red-eyed, and the blood color returned in this form.

"You don't deserve to know who I am." Anyway, it's a dead man, what's the use of saying it. The Xichao never wasted his tongue on the dead.

"Presumptuous. You pariah! The angry prince did not know what words to use to express the anger in his heart.

"I am not a patriotic citizen, and it is not appropriate for a pariah to talk about it." Xi Chao glanced at the three people who had no brains and could only scold, "Besides, in the near future, half of the territory of the Patriotic Kingdom will be owned by the Mu Kingdom, and the people living on it will also become the subjects of the Mu Kingdom. ”

The sharp words pierced the hearts of the three princes, and their eyes were all dark and vicious. I can't hope to break the young man in front of me into pieces, and it is difficult to solve the hatred in my heart.

"Do as I ask, and maybe leave you a whole corpse." Xi Chao has never been a kind person who is compassionate and compassionate. Even if the preparation for embezzling the patriotic country will not let the people in the patriotic royal family remain, in case some people are swaggering and deceiving as the heirs of the patriotic royal family or secretly cultivating forces against Mu Guo, the enemy is secretly annoying like a rat living underground, it is better to destroy them together to solve the big trouble.

"Slut don't think!" The princes were so angry that they gritted their teeth, knowing that they couldn't help the people in front of them when they rushed up, but they had to suffer from flesh and skin.

"After knowing each other, you can live for a few days, and you will live well before you capture the imperial city, and after that, I will send you to see the ancestors and ancestors of the patriotic country and reunite with the clansmen." Xi Chao's calm voice was full of faint coldness, how could he not make people vomit blood when he said murderous words to this realm.

"Don't wait for reinforcements to arrive." Xi Chao raised the corners of his lips slightly and pointed out the wishful thinking of the three of them, "Now it is the reinforcements that you are looking forward to day and night, but unfortunately the Mu army has the advantage in terms of numbers and troops, and the reinforcements are caught off guard, and the three of you should also experience the powerlessness of being controlled by others." ”

The three of them were stunned, they were caught off guard by the sinister Mu Jun before they were defeated and captured.

"Despicable!" The three of them cursed in unison, "Shameless." ”

The three Xi Dynasty, who only have some advantage in words, do not put it in their eyes, "If you want to say that you are despicable and shameless, you should be the second to defend the country, no one dares to call it the first, if you want to send troops to attack Mu Country for no reason, it is not despicable, it is good to be ambitious, but you also have to weigh your own strength, in the end, you will still pay the old bamboo basket and lose your wife and soldiers, why bother, is it not good to stand on three legs, you have to break the mind that you shouldn't have, and if you do it, you have to bear the consequences, but to reverse the right and wrong black and white insult the victimized party, the cultivation of the royal family of the country is just like this." ”

"It's a bunch of nonsense, the people of Mu Guo are cunning and deceitful, and they will go to defend the country and deduct!" The angry voice interrupted the particularly harsh words, no matter whether the teacher was born for a reason or not, the country is his own country, how can he tolerate others to speak ill of him.

"So you don't want to say that?" Xi Chao was tired of listening to the scolding of the three of them, and finally confirmed it.

"Don't think about it." The three of them stiffened their necks and said, "Sooner or later, Mu will be defeated." ”

"Huh." Xi Chao sneered, and he didn't know where the three of them had the confidence to say things that couldn't be said by their brains.

"In that case, I don't waste any time. As a prince, it is also common sense to be tough. Xi Chao stood up and looked at each person for a moment, and said meaningfully, "Hard gas should have a hard atmosphere, and in the future, the daily meal will be replaced with clear porridge." Let's change the hard gas to water today, as long as you make sure you have a breath of air. ”

The faces of the three of them instantly became hideous and distorted, and their trembling hands and feet exposed the cold buried deep in their hearts, and they fell into the field that was now worse than pigs and dogs.

After admiring the angry faces of the three of them, Xi turned around and left, whether to get the topographic map of the Patriotic Palace or not, it was just a little difficult to attack the imperial city.

Xu Mian kindly left the dried fruits used before leaving, for some people who will eat porridge in the future and do not eat punishment wine. Leave the last reward for the poor creature who is about to starve.

The door closed again, and the three of them stared at the bright light blocked out, and the three who came back to their senses sighed. Didn't get out of bed to move the dried fruit plate on the table.

Looking inside the house, fortunately, this time there were two chairs, a square table and two coals that were burning vigorously.

The charcoal fire in the furnace could only last for two days, and after waiting for a while, one person went down to the ground to extinguish the charcoal fire in the other furnace. The unburned charcoal from the other stove was taken out. Save it and use it for five days, and then you can't manage it so much.

"If the Wei State wins, the thieves of the Mu State should be severely punished." This sentence was said to the door, and to say it to the enemy was to cheer yourself up again, and to get out alive no matter what.

The other two listened silently, and the long-term consumption was not only their own arrogant temperament, but even the hope of going out was consumed little by little.

The young man made it clear that they could only live until the gates of the imperial city were breached and the palace was occupied, and his flat voice was a straightforward exposition of the established facts.

What is the situation outside, they are locked up here, isolated from the world. Outside the house, it was even quieter and terrible, even though he knew that there were soldiers guarding the door. It's hard to hear the slightest hint of wind from his mouth, the mental and physical torment gnaws away his proud self-confidence little by little, his blank gaze doesn't know where to stay, one qiē is too sudden, he originally planned to compete for the crown prince, but now the situation is really speechless.

On the way, Xu Mian raised the corners of his eyes slightly and said curiously to the Wing King beside him: "That's it?" It was too simple and light, and he didn't believe that this small punishment alone could achieve the ultimate goal.

"Hmm." Xi Chao thought about other things while walking, and Yu Xu Mian's words were answered.

"What if I starve to death?" Xu Mian had never seen the Wing King's method of doing things that was really not in a hurry.

"And what are you going to do?" Xichao raised his eyes and swept away, "Under normal circumstances, staying still and living on water can survive for at least a month without a problem. "Water is the source of life, and nothing can be done without water.

"So long!" Xu Mian was shocked, "What should I do if I attack the Imperial City?" "The battle is in full swing outside, and it will take less than half a month to absolutely solve this group of reinforcements, as for the other two border passes, they are contained by Yan Guo's side, and it is beyond the reach of the whip to come to the rescue.

"It's not that there is still Zhan Xiaofei, who has buried a lot of nails in the defense of the country, and it is as easy as finding out what news is, and I don't care about the more we ask here." Yixi Chao is not in a hurry at all, and there is no need to take on the things that others have done.

"How can he have such a great ability to put eyeliner in the palace?" Xu Mian felt incredible, and suddenly became deeply worried, "This person must not be guarded against." ”

"Don't worry, it's not so easy for Zhan Junfei to intervene in people, and he doesn't have the ability to penetrate the sky with his hands and eyes, thanks to Mu Guo's insistence for thousands of years, so that Zhan Junfei, who has always been as smooth as a loach, has no way to start, otherwise he won't repeatedly give in and pull me on the thief ship." Xichao is in a good mood and prefers to see others unlucky.

"What is it?" The more Xu Mian listened, the more confused he became, what the Wing King said, it was completely wrong with the donkey's lips.

"Xenophobia" Xi Chao suddenly smiled, "The situation of Muguo people is very strict, businessmen from other countries go to Mu to do business and often leave after dealing with the goods, and those who have lived in Mu for a long time to do business are all behind the upper-level relationship, the size of the territory allowed, within the appropriate range, cross the line to let you have money, even if the rich rival country is expelled without asking the reason, there has always been a lot of civil strife and bandits are rampant, not suitable for long-term life, as for the Yan Country Road is too far back and forth is not enough to consume, Comparatively easy to choose. ”

After hearing this, Xu Mian suddenly realized that there was still this meaning, which was really interesting. (To be continued......)
