Chapter 16: Are You Sure You Can't Go Crazy?

In the spring of the year 244 of the Jingguo calendar, Li Yunfei, the crown prince of Jingguo, and Li Yunyi, the seventh prince, inspected the eastern border and were ambushed by Cai's army. Li Yunfei died in battle, Li Yunyi's whereabouts are unknown, and Li Yunyi's sword and armor were left at the scene, as well as minced meat all over the ground, and he was considered killed in battle.

In May 244 of the Jingguo calendar, Li Hongtu, the lord of Jingguo, wrote to the Southern Chu Dynasty, asking the dynasty to return justice to Jingguo, but the court of the dynasty did not reply. Li Hongtu was furious and gathered an army of 80,000 to attack Cai State, wanting to seek justice for his two sons in person.

In June 244 of the Jingguo calendar, the army of Jingguo conquered several cities of Cai Guo and defeated several armies of Cai Guo, which was like a bamboo, and attacked everything.

In August 244 of the Jingguo calendar, the army of Jingguo attacked Fancheng, a large city in the west of Caiguo, and Li Hongtu, the lord of Jingguo, was attacked by two mysterious grandmasters and fell into a coma, and his life and death were uncertain. At the same time, the Jingguo army was besieged by the three-way army, and the Jingguo army was defeated, with more than half of the casualties, and the rest of the army was routed on all fronts.

The war broke out four days ago, and the news spread very quickly, and Xiong Jun came to report to Li Yunyi as soon as he got the news.

Li Yunyi's muttering was not loud, Xiong Jun didn't hear it clearly, he frowned and asked, "Your Highness, what did you say?"

"Nothing!"

Li Yunyi's complexion returned to normal, and he slowly began to scrub his body with water. Xiong Jun looked speechless on the side, is this highness born with such a lazy temperament, or is the city unfathomable? Father's life and death are uncertain, Jingguo is about to destroy the country, why do you still have a leisurely and complacent demeanor?

Xiong Jun is more inclined to the latter, this His Royal Highness is unfathomable.

Xiong Jun remembered one thing, Li Yunyi said before that it would take ten and a half days to change the sky, and it would take five or six days for Jingguo to change the sky, it seems that Li Yunyi predicted that the battle of Fancheng would be defeated? He frowned and asked: "Your Highness, do you know that the battle of Fancheng is going to be lost? Then why don't you give early warning? The words of the flying pigeon should be in time." ”

"It's useless. ”

Li Yunyi shook his head and said: "My father has never liked me very much, he has several cities, he is like a bamboo, and he is full of self-confidence. He won't believe anything I say, and he will even blame me for lying and confusing the people and shaking the morale of the army. ”

Xiong Jun thought about it for a while, it seemed to be such a reason, Cai Guo's army was originally weaker than Cai Guo's, Jingguo's army fought successively, and defeated several Cai Guo's army in a row, Li Hongtu was full of self-confidence, and it was useless to send a letter to the past.

"Ugh..."

Xiong Jun sighed and asked, "Then what should we do next, Your Highness?" Now the people in the city are panicking, and the morale of the army is unstable. ”

"Cold salad!"

Li Yunyi said lightly: "You can do what you need to do in normal times, Cai Guo's army will not be able to fight for a while and a half, what are you anxious about? Your more than 2,000 troops are useless, can you still level Cai Guo?"

Xiong Jun laughed dryly, Li Yunyi was right, it was useless to be anxious, there were more than 2,000 troops in Huya Pass, and nothing could be done, so he could only wait and see what happened. He pondered for a while and asked, "What about the hearts of the people and the army?" Do you want to find a way to stabilize them?"

"No!"

Li Yunyi waved his hand and said: "Both the people's hearts and the military's hearts need a process of adaptation, and now the more you press to block the news, the more accidents will happen, let them accept it slowly." You go down, there is no need to block Huya Pass, and all the medicinal materials of the pharmacies in the city have been requisitioned, leaving an IOU. Well, let Dr. Lin come over. ”

"喏~"

Xiong Jun went down, Li Yunyi summoned the maid, put on his robe and picked up the banknote to write a prescription, Dr. Lin came over after a while, Li Yunyi said: "Arrange someone to go to the side hall to build five baths, and dispense medicine according to this prescription." ”

"Whoa!"

Doctor Lin went down to make arrangements, Li Yunyi looked up at the window, and said softly: "It's been ten days, Father-in-law Fu and Xiao Anzi are on the way, right?"

......

Jingguo was defeated, and the entire Huya Pass was panicked.

Although this side is far away from Cai Guo, Li Hongtu, who is invincible in the hearts of the people, is uncertain about his life and death, and more than half of the 80,000 troops of Jingguo are killed and wounded, which is no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day for the people, which is a precursor to the destruction of the country.

There was chaos in the city, food was coaxed to buy, and many people took advantage of the chaos to rob, which was decisively suppressed by the patrol army arranged by Xiong Jun. According to Li Yunyi's instructions, Xiong Jun did not post any notices to reassure the people, nor did he publicize anything in the army, but only sent his descendants to monitor the whole city.

There was nothing to do overnight, and on the second day, the front-line military report came, Cai Guo mobilized a large army to prepare for a counterattack on Jingguo, and the two great masters of Jingguo, Zhou Xian, and the general Wang Tuoba Wu rectified the rout, and retreated to Ruicheng, a big city in the east of Jingguo.

The governor of the inner palace, Duke Wei, took the unconscious Li Hongtu to retreat towards Jingcheng overnight, and the six major princes of the imperial court adopted a wartime emergency strategy, supported the second prince as the regent prince, coordinated all the forces of Jingguo, mobilized material and military strength, and made every effort to resist the army of Cai.

"Lord Regent?"

Li Yunyi sneered when he received Xiong Jun's report, the prince of the prison and the prince regent looked similar, and the second prince Li Yunyu was in charge of the government before, but the deep intentions were different. Although the regent is not the crown prince, if Li Hongtu dies in the middle of the road, the second prince can directly ascend the throne. Jingguo has no prince now, and the regent is the biggest.

However, the approach of the six great princes is not wrong, the lord Li Hongtu is now uncertain, and the imperial court needs a new core. Otherwise, the dragons will be ownerless, and before Cai Guo's army has come, Jingguo will be finished by himself.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yunyi asked, "What is the morale of the army in the city? Will there be a mutiny?"

"Not really!"

Xiong Jun shook his head and said: "The Taiwei and the Great General Wang are still resisting on the front line, and the situation is not bad enough to that extent, and this side is still far from Cai Guo." Your Highness...... Do you think the Grand Lieutenant and the Great General King can stop it?"

"Unstoppable!"

Li Yunyi said with certainty: "At most, in three or four months, Jingguo will be defeated on all fronts, most of the country will be occupied, and the army of Cai will be under Jingcheng." ”

Xiong Jun was a little dumbfounded and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"You don't have to worry about these things, this king has his own plan!"

Li Yunyi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "In the afternoon, you and Ding Yu and the four of them will start to improve, settle down the affairs of the army, and there can be no chaos in the city." In addition, scouts were sent to Tiannan County, and military information came as soon as possible. ”

"Whoa!"

Seeing Li Yunyi's calm face, Xiong Jun was inexplicably relieved. He didn't want to care too much, anyway, it was enough to follow Li Yunyi to the dark one way, it was a big deal to die together, and it was worth it to have a prince to die with him.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the general's palace was in the hall.

Five small pools were temporarily built here, and in them, according to Li Yunyi's instructions, the pools were filled with water and sprinkled with medicinal powder, the smell was very pungent, and the potion was dark red, looking like a pool of blood.

"You've all figured it out?"

Li Yunyi looked at Xiong Jun and the four tooth generals and asked, "Wait a while, you will be very difficult, and you will pass out, and the pain is very bearable." And you're going to change your appearance to a lesser or lesser extent, and you'll become muscular monsters. ”

Xiong Jun patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, my old bear is ready, no problem." ”

The four teeth will look at each other and nod their heads as well. Jingguo is in this situation now, they may go to the battlefield at any time, and if they can improve their strength, their chances of survival will be a little greater. Suffer a little now, and bleed less later. They are all rough men in the army, and they don't particularly care about their appearance.

"Good!"

Li Yunyi ordered: "Come on, seal their true qi, tie them all up with iron chains, and bite the black wood in their mouths!"

A commander received an iron chain, Xiong Jun and their faces changed when they saw it, they tied it with an iron chain, and they bit the black wood in their mouths, is this afraid that they will not be able to bear the pain and bite their tongues to kill themselves?

"Come on!"

Although Xiong Jun was a little hairy in his heart, his eyes were closed and he gritted his teeth and said. The commander stepped forward and locked his whole body with iron chains, completely unable to move, and sealed the true qi with points, and bit black wood in his mouth and fixed it with ropes. Then the commander tied the four generals and bit the hard black wood as well.

"Throw it in!"

Li Yunyi waved his hand, and at the same time ordered: "Commander Lu, transfer a few sergeants over, and hold them with iron chains, so that they can't move at all!"

"Whoa!"

The commander surnamed Lu summoned the sergeants outside and threw Xiong Jun and them into a bath. Then a group of several sergeants grabbed Xiong Jun and them with iron chains, making them completely immobile.

"Hiss~"

"Woo~"

"Ahh

Soon several of the tooth generals reacted, and they felt that their whole bodies were burned by the flames, and the pain was still intensifying, their faces contorted, their muscles flared up, and they kept twisting their bodies and making strange screams.

"Hold on, this king didn't give an order, you can't let them move!"

Li Yunyi coldly ordered, Commander Lu and the sergeants couldn't bear it, Li Yunyi gave the order, they didn't dare to disobey, gritted their teeth and held on.

"Hmm~"

Soon Xiong Jun couldn't stand it anymore, his body began to writhe, his face was hideous, that face was already very ugly, but now it has become like a ghost, very scary.

As time passed, the four teeth struggled more and more. If it hadn't been for sealing the true qi and tying it with iron chains, I'm afraid this pool would have been smashed by them a long time ago. One tooth general was still rolling his eyes, feeling like he might pass out at any moment.

After two sticks of incense, one tooth general finally couldn't stand it anymore and passed out. Li Yunyi spoke: "Pull him out, open the chain and throw it on the ground, don't move him!"

Commander Lu hurriedly instructed the sergeant to pull out the tooth general, untie the iron chain, and let the tooth general lie on the ground. Although this tooth general is unconscious, the muscles of his whole body are still wriggling, and they seem to be a little bulging?

Soon, the second tooth general couldn't hold it and passed out, and Li Yunyi asked the sergeant to pull it out and throw it on the ground. This tooth will be the same as the first one, with muscles wriggling all over its body, visibly getting bigger and stronger.

The third, the fourth, and after the three sticks of incense, Xiong Jun couldn't resist the coma and was pulled out.

"Hmm!"

Li Yunyi glanced at him a few times, asked a sergeant to push him out, and at the door, he explained to Commander Lu: "Commander Lu, after they wake up, you tie them up and throw them in, and then pull them out after they fall unconscious." This is repeated seven or eight times until the potion in the pool turns black. If they are not pleased, you will say that this is my order, and if you don't carry it out, let them all go back to farming. ”

"Hiss~"

Commander Lu and the sergeants gasped a few times and repeated it seven or eight times? If this continues, Xiong Jun and the four tooth generals will definitely not go crazy?
