   Chapter 383 Changes (1)

   One month later.

   "Second brother, be careful!"

  In the military tent, the earnest voice of the fourth prince came out: "You were so badly injured before, and now you can barely stay there. The imperial doctor told you, don't rush to walk, just stand for a while and try."

While supporting Li Jing's arm, the fourth prince kept babbling: "The battle situation is very good now, the Xingyang army and the Zhao family's army have joined the father emperor and the others. According to this posture, it will not be long before Yanchu can be completely defeated. Just take your time to heal, don't worry."

  Li Jing, supported by the Fourth Prince, walked slowly around the tent, and cold sweat soon broke out on his forehead. The handsome face was faintly pale, and she had to sit down.

   Then, Li Jing took a deep breath and smiled helplessly: "It's been more than two months, and I can barely stay here. I don't know when I will be able to fully recover from the injury."

   Lying in the military tent for more than two months, no matter how broad-minded he is, he will inevitably feel suffocated.

The fourth prince smiled and comforted: "Recover with peace of mind, don't let the root cause of the disease, this is the most important thing. Don't think about the rest." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "Think about the big brother, the second brother should think about it. More comfort."

   This does not sound pleasant to say, but the truth is obvious.

   Compared to the eldest prince who lost his right leg, the crown prince is already very lucky.

  Accompanying each other for a month, the relationship between the two brothers quickly warmed up. The fourth prince also said these words that could not be exported.

  Li Jing had mixed feelings in his heart, and after a long while he said in a low voice, "You're right, I'm still lucky."

The fourth prince intended to make Li Jing happy, and smiled and echoed: "Right, people have to think about it. You have won so many battles before, and the credits add up to a thick pile. In the battle against Yanchu, You are the most in the limelight. The third brother can't catch up with you even if he is full of energy. What else do you have to worry about. "

  Li Jing: "..."

   Li Jing glanced at the Fourth Prince silently.

  The fourth prince knew that he had lost his words, coughed, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, the second sister-in-law sent you a letter yesterday, what was written in the letter?"

When    mentioned Lu Mingyu, Li Jing's eyebrows and eyes softened a lot: "It's nothing, just told me to take good care of my injuries and return to Beijing safely."

   Husband and wife are thousands of miles apart and cannot see each other. Full of thoughts, full of tenderness. They can only rely on the geese to communicate with each other and talk about lovesickness.

  The Fourth Prince pretended to shake his arms and sighed with a bitter face: "Look at it quickly, goosebumps all over the place."

  Li Jing was amused and laughed.

  People are especially vulnerable when they are injured. With close brothers by my side, I feel much more at ease.

  The two brothers tacitly avoided some topics they didn't want to talk about, and just gossiped to pass the time.

  The fourth prince smiled and said: "Second brother, you can already stay and walk around, it's not a big problem. I think, I will ride to the father's side in a few days."

  Li Jing nodded slightly: "Alright."

   As he was talking, the prince's personal soldier, the commander-in-chief of the left, hurried over, with a rather solemn expression: "Reporting to His Royal Highness, General Lu has sent an urgent report."

  Li Jing frowned subconsciously.

   The urgent news is sent at this time. Is it a good news of a great victory, or is there something wrong?

  The fourth prince was also full of doubts: "Could it be that something happened?"

  Li Jinglian calmed down and said solemnly, "Let the messenger come in."

   The person who delivered the letter was the personal attendant of King Xingyang, and Li Jing had seen it several times.

   personally followed the fast horses all the way, and was already exhausted. He wanted to kneel and salute. Li Jing immediately said: "No salute, sit down and talk."

   The waiter on the side poured a bowl of hot water and brought it forward. The person who followed him for two days and two nights did not close his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, his mouth was so dry that it was smoking, he was not polite, took the water and drank it, and then took out the bamboo tube from his bosom: "The general ordered Xiao Xiao. Send a letter to His Highness."

  The waiter took the bamboo tube, opened it and pulled out the rolled kraft paper.

  Li Jing took the paper, glanced away, his face suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly. Under the blood attack, dizzy. It was all because the Fourth Prince quickly reached out his hand to support him, so he didn't fall down.

   "Second brother," the fourth prince raised his heart in his throat and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Anger and panic flashed in Li Jing's black eyes, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "The state of Yan has been destroyed one after another, and King Yan has already surrendered to the Great Wei. That Yan Tuo, who refused to surrender, took away the last fifty thousand elite soldiers of the state of Yan. All the way to the Great Weijing City."

What?

  The pupils of the fourth prince contracted violently, his body trembled, and his voice trembled: "When did this happen? Where has Yan Tuo led the troops?"

Li Jing closed his eyes, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and after a while, he opened his voice, his voice was full of obscure and heavy: "General Lu led the troops to pursue the Yan army, and King Yan wanted to surrender, so Yan Tuo secretly led the troops to run away. That's why King Yan was defeated so quickly."

   "General Lu personally captured King Yan, but he never found Yan Tuo's figure. After I asked King Yan, I learned that Yan Tuo had already led his troops to Da Wei twenty days ago."

  The fourth prince took a deep breath, and his face was hard to look at.

   This Yan Tuo was the cousin of King Yan's family. He was not well-known in the past, but he was actually cunning and resourceful and very difficult to deal with.

  Li Jing almost died in Yan Tuo's hands.

   The king of Xingyang, Lu Lin, led the troops to pursue the soldiers of Yan, which also meant revenge for his son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Yan Tuo, who was slightly injured, hid in the back, took away the last elite soldiers of Great Wei, and rushed to the territory of Great Wei.

  The vast majority of Dawei's troops came to Yanchu, and there were only scattered and low combat troops garrisoned in Dawei. There are still some troops in the capital. There are still more than 20,000 Guards, plus the five-city soldiers and horses, the total strength is more than 40,000, less than 50,000.

   Yan Tuo's goal was very clear. He did not attack the city of Dawei, but bypassed the city and headed straight for the capital.

   Is this to surround Wei to save Zhao, or to break the net?

   No wonder Li Jing was so anxious, even the fourth prince, when he heard this urgent battle report, he felt terrified.

   "Is it still time to turn around and return to the capital at this time?" The fourth prince murmured with a mess in his head.

   "It's too late!" Pain and anger flashed in Li Jing's black eyes, and his voice was stiff: "Even if it's too late, I can't go back to Beijing at this time."

   "The State of Yan has already surrendered, and the State of Chu is at the last moment. At this time, the army is returning, and the previous **** battle will be in vain. With the temper of the father and the emperor, he will never return to Beijing to rescue."

   Yes, such an obvious truth, with the wisdom and wisdom of Emperor Yongjia, it is impossible to think of it.

   Even if it were Li Jing himself, he could not issue this military order.

   As a result, these fifty thousand Yan army, I do not know how much trouble they will cause in the Great Wei. Can the capital be held? Can you survive until the day when troops are stationed in various places for rescue?
