The defeat and flight of King Dong also announced the end of this night attack.

After Wei Yuxiao received the information from Dong Poison King's side, he immediately withdrew his troops.

Envoy Li did not object, he was expressionless all the time, as if he had watched a not very exciting play.

The army of the state capital receded like a tidal wave, and the defenders of the city breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a burst of cheers.

Only when the army of the state capital completely withdrew did they dare to go out of the city gate to clean up the battlefield.

Wu Liu'er looked at the devastated battlefield, listened to Lu Pei's self-reproachful report on the side, and sighed.

"It's my fault too. Wu Liuer said.

The old man on the side asked: "There is a mistake in the information, could it be that the people over there deliberately made it?"

Wu Liu'er shook her head and said, "Although I have also had such thoughts, I have to say that she should have no problem." That Dong Poison King has always been notorious, and it should be Dong Poison King who concealed her, which caused the information she sent to be wrong. ”

Just then, a messenger garchin flew in from a distance.

After it fell into Wu Liuer's hands, Wu Liuer took out a letter from it.

That is exactly what Tang Xiao wrote to them.

After reading the letter, Wu Liu'er lamented again: "None of our four stinkers are as good as a Tang Xiao! Tang Xiao's letter has only come now, and it's too late! He taught us a trick to counter the trick, if we used this trick, we wouldn't have to go through this battle tonight, and we wouldn't have killed or injured so many brothers! It's all because we have complicated the simple problem." ”

If only this letter had come earlier!

She handed the letter to Lao Zhangtou and circulated it, and turned around to prop herself up on the city wall, looking at the night outside the city, looking tired and weak.

After reading the letter, Lu Pei said, "There should also be this letter over there, right? Although it is late, with this letter, it can also avenge those brothers!"

"Well, let them do what the letter says. ”

......

Inside the barracks of the army of the state capital.

All the generals gathered in the tent to talk about the defeat of the night.

Wei Yuxiao first inquired about the casualties, and only after getting the answer did he turn his attention to Dong Poison King and ask about the reason for the defeat of this battle.

Dong Poison King opened his mouth and said: "There must be a traitor among us!"

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" a general named Feng Mang looked at King Dong and said with an unkind expression.

If it weren't for the fact that there were traitors who sent a message to the bandits, how could the bandit army arrange for the soldiers to hide under the battlements and wait for us to climb the city wall? They are ready to prevent poison, otherwise as soon as my poisonous smoke appears, they will bleed to death and have no chance to make an ambush at all!"

"You're using deadly poisonous smoke?!" Wei Yuxiao asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Dong Poison King didn't feel any problem at all.

Wei Yuxiao sensed that she was a little out of shape, and hurriedly remedied: "Aren't you worried about the spread of poisonous smoke and harming the innocent people in the city?"

Dong Poison King didn't care at all: "In order to get rid of the thieves, what does it matter if a few people die? Not to mention that most of those people are third-class people, even if they are first-class people, it is their honor to sacrifice their lives for the country!"

Wei Yuxiao said angrily: "You are a butcher! Indiscriminate killing of innocents is a violation of military discipline!"

"All right!" said the envoy Li, "in the end, didn't the poisonous smoke spread only on the top of the city? and it did not affect the people, why do you care about these little things? Now let's talk about why this battle was lost! If there is a traitor, we must find him out!"

Wei Yuxiao opened her lips, but in the end she stopped talking, leaned back in her chair and looked at every general below.

Feng Mang once again scolded King Dong Poison: "I heard the soldiers who came back say that you abandoned your subordinates, ordered someone to blow up the tunnel, and escaped alone, right?"

Dong Poison King said unhappily: "Didn't you say that you want to discuss who is the traitor?"

Feng Mang pointed at Dong Poison King's nose and said, "I suspect that you are a traitor!"

"Fart!" Dong Poison King slapped the table angrily and glared at Feng Mang fiercely.

Envoy Li looked at Feng Mang and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence." If it's speculation, shut up. ”

Wei Yuxiao's eyes lit up, and he said in opposition to Envoy Li: "Eh, guessing can also be said." Feng Mang, tell me why you guessed so much. ”

Feng Mang arched his hand towards Wei Yuxiao, and then said: "Originally, the plan we made was to dig a tunnel directly into the city, but he brought people under the city wall, and before he entered the city, he began to let people dig out the exit and appear directly outside the city......"

"Then do you want me to enter the city?" Dong Poison King directly interrupted Feng Mang's words, and retorted angrily, "The enemy army has an ambush, if I lead people to dig into the city, won't it be sent to the tiger's mouth?"

"How did you know there was an ambush in the city in the first place?" Wei Yuxiao asked appropriately.

After she found out that Dong Poison King was anxious, she directly talked about the process from the result, which allowed her to find a "flaw" and just give the other party a stone.

Dong Poison King was stunned for a moment, he realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't say that I knew that there was an ambush in the city from the beginning? I just couldn't wait to show my poisonous smoke, so I let the soldiers dig up the exit when I got outside the city, this is also my luck, otherwise if I really entered the city according to the plan you gave, wouldn't it kill me?"

"Hehe, do you think anyone will believe your defense?" Wei Yuxiao said coldly.

"Okay, it's all your guess!" Envoy Li said indifferently, "Besides, Dong Poison King has already given an explanation, and according to what I know about Dong Poison King, his explanation is very much in line with his character. Don't talk about Dong Poison King and let the real traitor slip away!"

There was silence in the audience, and no one said a word.

"What's the matter? now you don't speak again?" the envoy glanced at each of the generals, but no one looked at him.

Wei Yuxiao said in a strange way: "You said that, what else do other people have to say?"

"Heh? Are you blaming me? If King Dong is a traitor, then why does he still advocate going to war? He also personally led the team to act? His poisonous smoke killed a lot of bandits, but this did him no good, can there be such a traitor in the world?"

Wei Yuxiao sneered and said, "Whatever you say, it makes sense." Without evidence, you will exonerate him no matter what we say. In that case, let's forget about tonight's discussion, and that's the end of tonight's meeting! I will catch you as soon as possible who is the traitor! When the time comes, the evidence will be conclusive. ”

After speaking, she took the lead in getting up, without looking at Envoy Li, and walked straight out of the tent.

The remaining generals also came out one after another, leaving only Envoy Li, King Dong Poison and Han Bin, who had not spoken.
