The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 471 Bite a piece of his flesh
Chen Yuzhang was sitting in the study, suppressing his anger and asked his subordinates: "Why did you not receive any news about the fall of Baidu, but the Li family was the first to receive the news?"

An aide said: "After we captured Baidu, it was us who should have made arrangements for the county magistrate to defend the city!"

"But at that time, your Excellency had just married the Li family, and took a step back on this matter, letting the Li family arrange for guards to be stationed, so that the news was somewhat passive!"

Chen Yuzhang was a little depressed when he heard this. He retreated from Chang'an and entered the Longxi area.

While Jingli and Tantai Lin were cleaning up Chang'an, they had no time to pay attention to him and took the opportunity to capture Baidu and other places.

It can be regarded as taking these places to hand in a certificate of surrender to the Li family, and then the Li family promised the Li family to him, but he did suffer a loss when these people were placed there.

Fang Dahe said: "If that's the case, then the people stationed there should be close friends of the Li family. How could they surrender so easily?

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on here.

Jing Li and Huan Yuan also discussed this issue.

The original plan was to fight guerrilla warfare, and Quan thought it was to train new recruits. Unexpectedly, they surrendered before the fight even began.

"I am not the county magistrate, I am the boss of the county. The county magistrate was unwilling to open the city to surrender. It was because I hijacked his family and forced him to open the city gate!"

A tall man in the county government clarified the confusion for Jing Li and others. This man had a strong aura. He didn't look like a scribe at all, but more like a martial artist.

Geng Qi held the sword at his waist: "As the boss, how could you kidnap Shangfeng's family?"

The man grinned and said, "Normally this shouldn't happen, but after I have a distant relative move into the country, I need to be settled by the princess so that I can live and work in peace and contentment!"

"But the White Lotus Army clamors for peaceful coexistence all day long, but in fact it is in chaos and has repeatedly robbed people of their money and food."

"In order to plunder territory, Chen Yuzhang unscrupulously amassed money, and betrothed many good girls to soldiers of the White Lotus Army. It is not surprising that he caused resentment among the people!"

Naturally, Jingli had heard of this kind of thing. Chen Yuzhang brought tens of thousands of believers to Longxi. These believers relied on him, believed in him as a god, and would not object to any of his instructions.

But this is not the case for the locals in Baidu. They have not experienced the brainwashing of the White Lotus Army. They are unwilling to selflessly use the remaining food at home to relieve the followers of the White Lotus Army.

Therefore, when Chang'an's army arrived, the people did not panic, but looked forward to it.

After all, Chang'an and Baidu are only a hundred miles apart, and they have heard about tax reductions and exemptions.

"Although I, Liao Xingming, am not an ambitious person, I still want to find a stable place for my family and relatives, so I took the risk and did such a treacherous thing!"

After Jingli led people to take over the entire county government, he found out after some understanding.

This Liao Xingming was originally a martial artist. Later, because his wife was old, he returned to his hometown and asked someone to find a job in the county government.

This man was talented in literature and military affairs, and was highly appreciated by the previous county magistrate. He rose from a small clerk to the position of director.

Later, after Chen Yuzhang captured Baidu, the Li family sent people over to replace the previous county magistrate.

Because Liao Xingming was familiar with everything in the county government, he was retained to assist the newly appointed county magistrate.

The new county magistrate always obeyed the Li family's control and indulged many Bailian believers. Robbery by Bailian believers often occurred under his rule, and the people hated it.

When the Chang'an army came over, Liao Xingming made a quick decision and hijacked the county magistrate's family with a few of his henchmen. They opened the city gate and welcomed the Chang'an army into the city.

Huan Yuan said to Jin Li: "I just asked someone to find out the details of Liao Xingming. This person is a native of Baidu. He is an ambitious person who can be used!"

Jing Li nodded: "We are short of manpower now. My husband has arranged to leave some manpower for Liao Xingming, so let him take care of it for the time being!"

Ordinarily, Bai Du shouldn't be touched at this time, but Chen Yuzhang really offended her.He actually sent the young man from the Jing family back to make things difficult for her. In that case, she had to bite off a piece of Chen Yuzhang's flesh to see if he felt any pain.

Huan Yuan and Jing Li were walking in the back hall of the county government office. "Since Chen Yuzhang was able to send everyone from the Jing family all the way from Shu, I think he must have also deployed people in Shu!"

"In this case, could it be that he thought that he couldn't stay in Longxi anymore and wanted to move to Shu?"

Jing Li pondered: "It is said that Wang Dasheng's health is getting worse and worse, and Wang Qiong has gone crazy."

"If Wang Dasheng dies, Zhang Xiong will not dare to confront the King of Hejian and others now. He is afraid that he will mobilize all his troops to deal with Chen Yuzhang and bring all the White Lotus Army under his command."

"It's just that he wants to move to Shu. I don't know what the Li family's attitude is."

Huan Yuan replied: "The Li family is naturally unwilling. As a wealthy family in Longxi, the Li family has gone through many dynasties, so they naturally have their own way of survival."

"Now I am just taking advantage of the chaos in the world to see if I can win something with Chen Yuzhang's hands."

"If Chen Yuzhang is really capable of rising up, he will definitely be annexed by the Li family in the future."

"If Chen Yuzhang succumbs to this, the Li family will gradually give up on this dull knife that is not suitable for use!"

"Sir, what you said makes sense!" Jing Li said with a frosty face: "If Chen Yuzhang wants to give it a try, let each of them rely on their own abilities!"

Huan Yuan reminded her: "After we get Baidu, we can't rush in again. We must know that King Chenliu is watching covetously and may take advantage of the chaos to attack."

Jing Li naturally understands this truth. If Chen Yuzhang hadn't intended to ruin her reputation and disturb the people of Chang'an, she would not have sent troops to cross the border in vain.

Next, she will start to prevent King Chen Liu's surprise attack. After this, Chen Yuzhang will wait for her to encroach on him step by step.

"Is there any movement recently from King Chenliu?"

"Perhaps we are just waiting for that group of people to send the news back to make a decision!" Huan Yuan replied.

The dozen or so fake personal guards were tortured by the secret guards left by Tantai Lin, and then they recruited the big fish like King Chenliu.

I think she felt that since King Changling was not in Chang'an, Jing Li, a female figure, was vulnerable, so she wanted to sneak into Chang'an to find out the truth.

Jingli, who didn't want to be guarded for a long time, took this opportunity to follow the clues and catch them all.

The news that Baidu fell into the hands of Princess Changling soon spread to the North.

Chen Zhongyu, who had just finished cleaning up the battlefield, said to Tantai Lin: "Your Majesty is really powerful. She took Baidu down without even using a single soldier."

"It seems like the empress will be approaching Longxi step by step!"

"No!" Tantai Lin said solemnly: "She will not make any further progress until King Chen Liu is killed!"

His princess is a very measured person and will never rush in casually.

She is now focused on defense, and if several forces are unstable, she will never make a move that considers one at the expense of the other.

"Send the order and increase the offensive tomorrow!"

Tantai Lin had a murderous look on his face, "Jie's popularity has been exhausted. If anyone still resists, we will kill them without mercy!"
