Chapter 388 We have something to announce
Lord Wu snorted at Qin Zhen and said, "In short, if you can't find Prince Han to receive the order before nightfall today, then Prince Han will be convicted of intentionally abandoning his post. The emperor will issue a nationwide warrant for Prince Han's arrest and escort him to the capital for questioning."
Lord Wu's words made Qin Zhen's eyebrows jump. Thinking of the arrogant Jiang Dichen being questioned, to be honest, he was quite happy in his heart. But when he thought about Jiang Dichen's today and what would happen to him tomorrow, he couldn't help but frown.
General Dong was also frightened. He whispered to Qin Zhen, "General Qin, what do you think we should do?"
Qin Zhen rolled his eyes and said to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu, let me send someone to look for King Han right now. However, you are not allowed to convict King Han before my people come back."
Lord Wu snorted coldly, "Anyway, it's before dark today. No one will be waiting after that time."
"You are really stubborn." Qin Zhen finished speaking, and he quickly ordered his subordinates: "Come on, go find the general quickly."
"Yes, General Qin." After receiving the order, several soldiers hurriedly ran out of the military camp.
Lord Wu and Eunuch Li were arranged to wait in a temporary tent.
In Qin Zhen's tent, General Dong asked Shi Nie anxiously, "Deputy General Shi, where is the general now?"
Shi Nie frowned and said, "If nothing unexpected happened to the master, he should have been ready to return."
"Hey, we're just returning now. How long do we have to wait?" If General Dong had known that the general would be gone for two months, he would have never agreed to let him go.
Now, not only have they lost the opportunity to attack the capital of Yan State, but they have also lost a city that they had conquered with great difficulty. It is really heartbreaking and regrettable.
However, this is not the most important thing. What is important now is that the general is about to be convicted. What should we do?
Shi Nie was also very anxious, but his master was not at home, so he could only wait until his master arrived.
Qin Zhen looked at the anxious group of people and said thoughtfully: "Now is not the time to worry about King Han. Instead, we should be careful to deal with the current war."
His intuition told him that the arrival of Lord Wu would not bring any good things, and he must be holding back some big trick to deal with Jiang Dichen.
Others may not know, but he knows very well in his heart that Lord Wu supports Jiang Qing's faction.
Shi Nie nodded in agreement and said to General Dong: "General Qin is right. We should focus on the war right now. We can talk about other things after the master comes back."
"But how do we get rid of those people?" General Dong asked with a headache.
"That's easy. Just ignore them." Qin Zhen said indifferently.
Anyway, they are here to find Jiang Dichen. As long as they don't know, others can't do anything to them.
General Dong said with a bitter face: "This is the only way."
Just as they were discussing, they heard someone report: "General, the people from Yan are coming to attack us again."
When Qin Zhen and others heard that the people from Yan State were coming to attack again, many generals present perked up and discussed the battle plan.
Mu Tianrui led an army of 150,000 and began to attack Qin Zhen and his men in turns before dark. They never rested even until late at night.
For some unknown reason, Qin Zhen and his soldiers suddenly suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. In the end, many soldiers were exhausted and unable to resist. Mu Tianrui broke through the city gate and carried out a brutal massacre against them.
In this battle, Bei Ming suffered heavy losses and Yan State won a complete victory!
Qin Zhen led the remaining soldiers to retreat to a safe area. Before he had time to take a breath, he heard Lord Wu say to Eunuch Wang: "Eunuch Wang, please take out the other imperial edict written by the emperor and announce it to everyone."
Eunuch Wang hesitated for a moment and said to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here. Should we wait a little longer?"
After hearing what Eunuch Wang said, Lord Wu's expression changed instantly. He bowed in the direction of the capital and said sternly: "Eunuch Wang, I am the military supervisor this time. I witnessed with my own eyes that King Han left his post without permission and caused great losses to Beiming. I am following the order of the emperor to deal with King Han according to the law. There must be no mistakes!"
At this time, Shi Nie walked in with a chill in his body, "Master Wu, you are so arrogant."
After saying that, he glanced at the two men with a cold look on his face and taunted them, "Lord Wu and Eunuch Wang really came at the right time. As soon as you arrived, our soldiers suddenly became weak and lost their ability to fight."
These soldiers are all veterans who have followed their masters through hundreds of battles. Even if they are starving to death, they will try their best to fight the enemy and will not fall to the ground and be slaughtered!
Especially when he called for a retreat, they would carry their companions and retreat from the battlefield even if they only had one breath left.
The reason why it was so tragic last night was that it was obvious that their soldiers had been poisoned.
He just went to see Jingyun to check it out, and the fact was as he expected, the soldiers were given laxatives, which weakened their ability to fight, and they failed to escape in time, resulting in heavy losses!
If someone said that this matter had nothing to do with the two people in front of him, Shi Nie would not believe it!
When Eunuch Wang and Lord Wu heard what Shi Nie said, they were instantly unhappy. They looked at each other, and Lord Wu spoke first: "Deputy General Shi, what do you mean?"
Shi Nie looked at the two and said coldly, "You know what I mean."
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "I will find out the truth of this matter as soon as possible, and then I will definitely cut this person into pieces!"
After Shi Nie finished speaking, he turned and left.
Lord Wu looked at Eunuch Wang with an angry look on his face and asked, "Eunuch Wang, what does he mean by this?"
Eunuch Wang also felt that something was amiss. He said to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu, let's wait until we understand the situation."
Lord Wu had no choice but to continue waiting silently.
However, he waited for two days in a row, but gained nothing except that Shi Nie caught a few drugged soldiers.
On the third day, he could no longer bear it. He said to Eunuch Wang with a serious face: "Eunuch Wang, I have been waiting for three consecutive days, but King Han is still nowhere to be seen. Are you sure you want to continue to delay?"
Eunuch Wang also knew that he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the emperor. He took out the imperial edict from his bag and said to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu, come with us."
Lord Wu felt relieved when he saw Eunuch Wang finally took out the imperial edict.
The two came to Qin Zhen's temporary tent, and Eunuch Wang said to Qin Zhen: "General Qin, please call everyone here, I have something to announce."
Qin Zhen saw that the two looked unhappy. He paused and asked, "I wonder what you want to announce, Eunuch Wang?"
Eunuch Wang said, "This is a matter of great importance. We can only announce it after everyone is present."
Eunuch Wang is someone close to the emperor, so Qin Zhen didn't want to embarrass him. He just nodded and said, "I will go and inform everyone right away."
