"Yes. They are not civilians, they are all agile practitioners. The soldier just now said.

The Imperial Physician ordered the other doctors, "Then let's see if there are any alive, even if he is taken prisoner." ”

Imperial Doctor Chang's words were originally what Qingzhi wanted to do, so after Imperial Doctor Chang's order, she and the other doctors checked the vital signs of those Zhou Jing soldiers who were disguised as civilians.

After searching for it, he couldn't find anyone alive, so the imperial doctor ordered again: "Let's continue to set off with the troops!" ”

The doctors of the military medical battalion also hurried to catch up with the troops in front under the protection of a group of soldiers.

.

The front of the team had already descended the mountain at this time, and after descending the mountain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at Lu Shikang, sighed and said: "After this battle, they must go around publicizing." ”

As Lu Shikang said to him yesterday evening, this battle will be won or lost.

After this seemingly inconspicuous and extremely small battle, the situation will change the most.

A real big battle was about to begin, and he wasn't quite ready for it.

At this moment, he remembered Hua Murong.

He originally thought that he could return to her soon, but now it seems that he will not be able to return to her in a few years.

Lu Shikang looked ahead and returned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said, "In the next few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can send someone to inquire about the news, and within ten days, they can gather at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, of course, maybe more." ”

After passing through the Mountains, the troops continued to walk.

After walking another mile, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw some people standing on the side of the road from a distance.

Among them were women and children, children, young and old.

He could see that the men looked at him with contempt in their eyes.

After passing by those people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Lu Shikang softly:

"Shikang, can you see the eyes of those people who looked at them as brothers just now?"

"This will be the way the world will look at you for a long time to come." Lu Shikang also whispered back to His Royal Highness the Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head and said, "Brother Wei never thought that one day he would be misunderstood, and he couldn't argue. ”

Until now, he had never told any other important person in the army about the possible consequences of this very small battle.

After all, this is just a guess between him and Lu Shikang.

He didn't want to demoralize this speculation that hadn't yet come true.

But he sent a few Tangbao cavalry to the surrounding places to inquire about the news to see if things were really as he and Lu Shikang had guessed, and the other party used the battle to convey rumors to the people.

After receiving the order, the Tangbao cavalry immediately set off to inquire about the news in the vicinity.

In the evening, the forbidden army troops arrived at a flat land on the west side of Jiangshui Town, which was more than 20 miles away from Huashan.

The logistics soldiers dug protective ditches and fences, set up camp, and the house masters cooked vegetables and rice, and when it was dark, the soldiers ate and entered the tents, and began to rest.

When the time came, the Tangbao cavalry sent out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inquire about the news arrived in the middle of the afternoon, and the Tangbao cavalry led by them reported to His Royal Highness the Prince: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the news that his subordinates heard about the position this afternoon is not optimistic. ”

"Say." Although the words of the Tang Bao cavalry were expected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he wanted to know what the people had said.

"We went to several nearby towns and cities to find out the news, and in just one afternoon, there were three towns and two cities where the news was spreading: some refugees were not accustomed to the royal practice, and led troops to revolt, and there was a battle with the forbidden army on the mountain, and the forbidden army wiped out all the rebels, and injured many women, children and children."

"What else?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked.

"And ...... Those are all scolding words, and your subordinates won't relay them much. The Tangbao cavalry hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say the words of the common people scolding His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, it was too ugly.

This afternoon, he heard too many complaints from the people.

Someone said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely narrow-minded, needless to say, he can't tolerate the county lord Zhou Jing, he has already defeated her, and now he wants to force her to a more desperate road." There are ordinary people who want to fight for her, and they are all eliminated by him, this person is extremely ruthless, if the world is in his hands in the future, the people in the world will suffer......"

Some people also said: "As the crown prince, he can stay in the palace and not go out, but he has to come out in person to eliminate King Pingkang and Lord Zhou Jing, which shows that this person is a ruthless person." ”

Someone else said: "He even killed ordinary people, it's too much, and there are still women, children and children, how ruthless!" This is something that no one with a conscience can do! ”

Of course, there are also those who directly scold foul language, and the scolding is even more ugly.

How could he relay these words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to the Tang Bao cavalry: "Okay, you guys go down, and continue to go out tomorrow to find out the news, and see if they are going to recruit troops and horses next." ”

If you follow the steps he and Lu Shikang guessed, they will inevitably start to take advantage of the situation to recruit troops after the people's grievances are monstrous.

It was not easy for them to expand their forces, but after this battle of Kusan Mountain, it will be easy to expand their forces.

The Tang Bao cavalry, who reported the situation, returned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said, "Yes." His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

As he spoke, he bowed down and retreated along with the other Tangbao cavalry.

In the following time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Wushu to call Lu Shikang and tell him that things were indeed as he expected, and everything was going on under the steps he had expected before.

This night, the two did not talk for long, because each other's hearts were heavy.

After Lu Shikang left, the shadow of Hua Muchun appeared in His Royal Highness the Prince's mind.

Whenever he was troubled by the war, he always thought of her, as if she were his motivation.

He, who hadn't written to her for a long time, wrote her a letter tonight.

The letter only mentions missing her, and nothing else.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to his father, in which he wrote about today's war and the rumors that had been spread after the war to incite the people, and at the end of the letter, he wrote:

"The child will try his best to prevent the worst from happening, but if he can't do it in the end, he will not blame the father."

.

On the second day, the sky was still fine, and the troops continued on their way.

This Japan should be fine, but there was a small episode on the way.

This little episode is that a young man about fifteen years old blocked the way of the team and wanted to go head-to-head with His Royal Highness the Prince.

This young man is Zheng Hangpei.

Early in the morning, when all the people who followed him did not get up, he went out alone.

Riding a white horse, he blocked the way of His Royal Highness the Prince, pointed to the team and said, "Who is the Prince Xiao, come out for me!" ”

Qin Wu led the way at the front of the line, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Shikang were behind him, and he couldn't recognize which of them was Prince Xiao.

Although Prince Xiao had been to his mansion, he did not go out in his room that day.

"Who are you?" Qin Wu, who was at the front of the line, asked.

"One for ordinary people!"
