Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 247
"Didn't we receive news before that Tang Jun's people were going to attack the Kushan camp in the west of the city? But when our people arrived, we found that Tang Jun's people had withdrawn midway and hadn't gone to the west of the city at all."

"What? Then what is their purpose... Could it be that we are thinking too much?"

Dumori muttered to himself.

"General, what shall we do next?"

The person who had just spoken asked again.

Dumoli sighed before speaking to them.

"You go back first, in case the Tang army makes any moves to launch a sneak attack."

"Yes!"

However, what Du Moli never imagined was that this matter did not end.

Early the next morning, Li Ke called both Gu Wu and Ma Liuzhi over.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Gu Wu asked immediately after seeing Li Ke.

"You two will each lead a team, grab the flags and follow me."

Li Ke said.

When Gu Wu heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, is this a formal attack?"

Gu Wu asked.

Other than that, he couldn't think of any possibility, because they were about to take up the flag of the Shu army, wouldn't they want to start a war with the other side?
After hearing what Gu Wu said, Li Ke shook his head.

"It's not in a hurry, it's not the time to start a war yet."

Faced with Li Ke's explanation, Gu Wu and Ma Liuzhi were at a loss, but they always believed that Li Ke would follow his orders.

So, soon they led the Shu army to the gate of Xiping City holding flags representing the Shu army.

At this very moment Dummery and Raton were discussing what had happened last night.

"What happened last night? I heard that the granary in the city was on fire. I took people to the west of the city to rescue them, but no one came. Could it be their plan?"

As soon as Raton came back, he told Du Moli that because there were a little more things on their side yesterday, he couldn't come back in time, and he just asked his subordinates to come back and report the situation.

Du Moli now has a headache when he mentions this matter.

"I don't know what happened now, but it should be Tang Jun's fault. I have sent people to investigate, and I hope there will be news."

Dumori said.

Even though he himself didn't believe this, because it had been a long time since Tang Jun came here, and they still didn't have any clues. Those people hid it really well, and there was no breakthrough at all.

At this moment, someone came to report.

"General! Tang Jun brought people outside the city again! Right now they are shouting outside the city! And they even raised the flag!"

"What?! Who is it?"

Du Moli's point is not at all that Tang Jun has arrived outside Xiping City, but that the other party has revealed his identity so quickly?Could it be another conspiracy?
What happened last night had cast a shadow on her, and now he had to think more about everything.

"It's the Shu army!"

The people under his command said.

"Shu army? Is it actually the king of Shu, Li Ke?! Why did the majestic king of Shu suddenly appear in Xiping City? Or for a general of Liangzhou?"

Laton was really surprised. How could the King of Shu come here to fight against them for a general from Liangzhou?

"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Dumori said.

At this time, he had already figured out what was going on. The identity of the general of Liangzhou was not that simple at all. The person who could let the King of Shu go out in person must have a very high status.

All he could think about now was the prince.

"If my guess is correct, the so-called Liangzhou General is probably also the prince, otherwise the King of Shu would not have come here in person, but I don't know who it is."

"That...general."

At this moment, the person who came to report suddenly spoke.

Du Moli immediately turned his gaze to the other party.

"Say something quickly!"

"Yes! The people of the King of Shu say that we have kidnapped Prince Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty, so we are going to attack the city. Please let us fight. Are we going to fight now?"

It was only after hearing this that Du Moli realized that the Liangzhou general they had kidnapped was Li Chengqian, the King of Zhongshan in the Tang Dynasty.

"Isn't this time very beneficial to us?"

After hearing this, Raton smiled.

"Since he is already in our hands, we can just use this to threaten them to retreat. At that time, we can also make a request to the emperor of Tang Dynasty. Maybe we can take Liangzhou City smoothly. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Raton said.

Dumori thinks the same way now.

"It is indeed possible to do this. In this case, we will..."

Before Dumoli gave an order, someone came over, and that person was the guard guarding the prison in the east of the city.

"General, the Liangzhou general who was detained by us was kidnapped last night. This is our dereliction of duty. Please punish the general!"

"what?!"

After hearing these words, Du Moli immediately jumped up from his chair.

"What the hell are you doing?! Can't even look down on a small general? Do you know how important his identity is? Do you know what he means to us?!"

"General, please punish me!"

The guard didn't know what to say, so he could only ask for a punishment.

Du Moli valued these people under him very much, but he would not punish them casually for such things.

"Forget it, since they're all screaming, I'll take people there! I'd like to see what waves they can make!"

Du Moli said that he was about to go out, but Raton stopped him immediately.

"Calm down first. I know why the city caught fire last night. It must have been the King of Shu's scheme. We fell into his tricks. Sure enough, people in Tang Dynasty are very cunning, so we have to be careful."

After hearing what Raton said, Dumoli gradually calmed down.

"how do I say this?"

"I think it was just a feint that the king of Shu brought people to attack the Kushan camp. He didn't have that strength at all. His purpose was to transfer the troops from the east of the city and rescue Li Chengqian."

Laton explained to Dumoli.

He didn't understand what was going on before, but now he understood immediately after hearing them say that.

After Raton explained, Du Moli finally calmed down.

"Then what should we do next?"

After all this tossing, Du Moli completely lost his mind, and just turned his attention to Raton.

Raton was very clear about this matter, so he talked to Du Moli.

"I have some understanding of the Shu army. It can be said that it is an invincible team in the Tang Dynasty. No one wants to fight with them. Besides, we have suffered losses before, so we cannot confront them head-on."

"Now our defenses in the east and west cities are very strong. It is difficult for them to break through, so they didn't go directly into the city, so we just need to defend well."
