Xian Yue asked while placing the hot tea in front of Chu Huanyan.

Although the lady had asked the secret guards to deliver letters before, the letter just now seemed to be particularly serious.

Chu Huanyan picked up the tea cup and opened the lid. The heat rose and blurred her expression. After a while, she spoke in a normal tone.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about Xiao Jinzhi."

"Miss, don't worry, the emperor will be fine. In such a short period of time, the emperor captured the city of Danyue. Now everyone in the palace is saying that new good news will definitely come soon. ”

Xianyue comforted him with a smile. In fact, it was exactly as Xianyue said. The army led by Xiao Jinzhi was overwhelming, and soon after, they successfully conquered another city.

In Taizhou City, Tianyi's soldiers rejoiced as the generals who defended the city retreated and abandoned the city to escape.

Obviously, the successive victories made them all overjoyed.

Qin Li was also overjoyed and quickly arrived at Xiao Jinzhi's side after entering the city.

"Your Majesty, we have carefully checked and found that there are no Danyue soldiers hiding in the city. As for the people, no one resisted. Now our people have taken over all the defenses in the city, and the soldiers have begun to rest."

Although they encountered fierce resistance when attacking Taizhou City, they did not expect that they would be defeated again so quickly. Now the soldiers are full of confidence. Even if the emperor orders them to continue marching immediately without rest, everyone will be happy!

Compared to Qin Li's joy, Xiao Jinzhi didn't look too excited. Instead, he frowned slightly and said, "This Taizhou city is a bit easy to capture."

Qin Li was in a daze for a moment, not quite understanding what his emperor meant.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a good thing that we captured it so quickly?"

The reason why the emperor ordered to continue the attack was to seize the time to conquer another city, so that the Danyue courtiers would panic and give Beimo a chance to breathe.

Now that their goal was achieved, they successfully captured Taizhou City, but the emperor didn't seem very happy.

"It's indeed a good thing, maybe I'm overthinking it." Xiao Jinzhi smiled and said to Qin Li, "Go ahead and let the soldiers have a good rest, but we can't take the patrol lightly to prevent Danyue from counterattacking. .”

"Yes, I obey my orders!" Qin Li responded.

Soon, the order was conveyed.

Although the soldiers in the city were very happy, they did not dare to relax in patrolling after receiving the order.

In addition, when the soldiers transported grain and grass into the granary where the grain was stored in the city, they found that the defenders of Taizhou City retreated in such a hurry that they did not even have time to destroy the remaining grain.

After counting, it was confirmed that although the grain and grass to be transported were diverted to Beimo, the grain in Taizhou City would definitely be enough to support the next grain and grass shipment.

Everyone was even more excited about this, and many generals were already gearing up, waiting for Xiao Jinzhi's order to continue the attack.

When Xiao Jinzhi received the news, although his expression was smiling, there was always an indescribable darkness in his eyes.

However, this worry soon turned into reality.

On the second night, the soldiers on patrol discovered something was wrong.

With the torches burning high, the soldiers guarding the city wall suddenly discovered that a large group of soldiers and horses were approaching. At the same time, the fleeing defenders turned back, and the two groups surrounded Taizhou City.

As dawn broke, Xiao Jinzhi stood on the city wall, looking at the man standing on the horse in front of the besieging soldiers.

"Huangfu Mausoleum." Xiao Jinzhi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, how could..." Qin Li also saw the Huangfu Mausoleum below and was surprised.

According to the previous news, Huangfuling clearly went to Beimo, so why did he suddenly appear outside Taizhou City!

On top of the black horse, Huangfuling was not wearing armor and looked up at Xiao Jinzhi with a smile on his lips.

"Emperor Tianyi, we meet again."

Their eyes met, Xiao Jinzhi's expression was grave.

"It seems that I am your target."

Since Huangfu Mausoleum appears here, it means that the one who went to Beimo before was completely fake.

"That's right." Huangfu Ling said with a smile, "Ever since our last farewell at Guiyang Mountain, I have been hoping to have a chance to fight Emperor Tianyi again. Since you are here with your troops, how can I give up this opportunity? And heading to Beimo."

However, he expected that according to Xiao Jinzhi's level of caution, he would definitely send someone to keep an eye on him on the way to Bei Mo to prevent him from arriving quietly in Bei Mo.

So he disguised himself as himself and led a team to sneak into Bei Mo. The purpose was to make Xiao Jinzhi feel that Bei Mo was in danger and seize the time to continue the attack.

Huangfuling's words made Qin Li and several other generals on the city wall change their expressions. Were they fooled?

Then Taizhou City is so easy to capture...

"Did you give the order for the Taizhou City defenders to retreat?" Xiao Jinzhi stared at Huangfuling Mausoleum.

The smile on the latter's face became even stronger, "Yes, if not, how could Emperor Tianyi become my king's thorn in the urn?"

"Huangfu Ling, don't be so arrogant. With just the people you brought and the original defenders, it's not that easy to completely trap us!" Qin Li spoke loudly.

Now that Danyue has insufficient troops, even if they really besiege the city, they may not be able to last long, let alone relying on these people to completely trap them!

The smile on Huangfuling's face remained unchanged, "I cannot trap you to death, but as long as you are trapped for a few days, it will be enough."

"What do you mean?" Qin Li was confused.

When Xiao Jinzhi heard Huangfuling's words, his eyes suddenly trembled.

"forage!"

"Your Majesty, what happened to the food and grass?" Qin Li was still a little unable to react in time.

Xiao Jinzhi said sternly: "Send someone to check the granary immediately."

Seeing Xiao Jinzhi like this, Qin Li also panicked and immediately led people to hurriedly get off the city wall.

Under the city wall, Huangfu Ling saw this and sighed with emotion: "Emperor Tianyi responded quickly, but unfortunately, it is too late now."

When Qin Li returned to the city wall, his expression became even more ugly than before.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with our grain and grass. Many grains are covered with mold. Shen Chi said that someone had tampered with the grain that was originally stored in the granary. We failed to find out that most of the grain was put together and now it is destroyed. "

"It's not most of it, it's all of it." Huangfuling sat on the horse and corrected with a "kind-hearted" look on his face, "The king asked someone to make the powder specially. The grains are placed in the granary and stored together for a day, even if some of them have not yet been born. I can’t eat the mildew anymore.”

After saying that, seeing Xiao Jinzhi and others looking ugly, Huangfuling laughed and added.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I wonder if Emperor Tianyi has guessed it now."
