"If I had known that there would be such a day, Brother Yu would have listened to your advice and not be a lieutenant!"

Above the big wings, the prince Sheng sighed to Tian Ji in annoyance.

Because their board ship was short of food and clothing, Prince Sheng, as the leader, had to lower his face and ask Tian Ji for help.

Although Tian Ji didn't care about the others, Prince Sheng was quite friendly to him in the past, so he invited him to Dayi alone.

After drinking and drinking, Tian Ji asked him about the situation in Anwucheng last night.

It turned out that although Sun Zhi brought a group of children of Tian Qi nobles and appointed military positions, he only arranged them on the flank defense and did not participate in the frontal attack.

After conquering Anwu City, they were asked to station outside the city, and they were not invited to come to the city to celebrate the merits.

At that time, Prince Sheng and others complained, but now it seems that they are lucky enough to escape the disaster.

"Is no one in the city escaped?" Tian Ji asked.

"At that time, the earthquake suddenly broke out, and Anwu City fell in an instant, as if it was a mountain collapse." Prince Sheng recalled with lingering fear, "Unless it is a god, who can escape!"

"Then why did you run to the edge of Mohe?"

"After the earthquake calmed down, we realized that the situation of the war had changed, so we ran towards the Pingxian camp as soon as possible!" Prince Sheng explained, "I just didn't expect that the Pingxian guards would close the camp gate and not allow us to get close!"

"Why is this?"

"It's all because of those insatiable Lu martial arts!"

Speaking of this, Prince Sheng's eyes seemed to spew out flames: "When winning a battle, I would like to ask for rewards. Lu Jie Dao shouted louder than anyone else. As a result, when the situation changes, they ran faster than anyone else!"

"Originally, the garrison outside Anwu City was able to barely stabilize the front line after the ground was moved. As a result, in order to run away, the Lu Jiemen actually snatched the chariots and horses of other barracks, and even took action to hurt people. After a while, the remaining morale of the army outside the city was also scattered by them."

"After this, the escape situation could not be stopped. The guards of Pingxian camp probably were worried that the defeated soldiers would attack the camp, so they had to drive people away..."

Speaking of this, the prince couldn't help but sighed: "This is the army that destroyed the country!"

The angry tone also had a sense of sorrow and inconsistency.

...

After that, the topic inevitably returned to the reason for the sudden earthquake.

Prince Sheng said that although he had not participated in the tunnel battle through Anwu City, the Sun family said that the breakdown of Gudao Pass last year implicated Anwu City not far away, and the foundation had been loosened.

That's why Sun Zhi thought of breaking the city by digging tunnels.

But it may also be that this will further shake the foundation of the city.

"But the Hei Shui people have been entrenched in Anwu City for a long time. Maybe that General Gongsun Yi has been tampering in the city." Prince Sheng guessed.

"So Brother Yisheng, is it possible that this earthquake is the 'local responsibility' of the Hei Shui Lejia?"

"Local responsibility?"

Prince Sheng was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "I heard that after capturing An Wucheng, Sun Zirui found a general seal of the Black Water Head Coach in the city, which seemed to be the ones that the Black Water Head Coach Gongsun Yi had withdrew from An Wucheng."

"Short after that, Heishui sent envoys to say that General Yin was a powerful weapon in the army and was very important to General Gongsun Yi, hoping to exchange it for ransom."

"Then Sun Zirui disagreed?" Tian Ji raised his eyebrows.

"He threw Gongsun Yi into the pig manure in front of the messenger, soaked the seal." Prince Sheng said with a faint look, "and then killed the Black Water Messenger."

...

No matter what the real reason is, the current situation is that with the fall of Anwu City, the main army of Sun's family was either killed or retreated. Now, there is no decent resistance force east of Gudao Pass, from the direction of Xiaocheng, which can stop the Black Water people from advancing eastward.

Even if there are still troops in Pingxian camp, it is hard to say how long it can last under the impact of the black water torrent.

"What are Bowen's plans next?" Prince Sheng asked tentatively.

"Go to Xiaocheng first." Tian Ji replied.

"Bowen is worried that Xiaocheng would refuse us to enter like the Pingxian camp?" Prince Sheng heard Tian Ji's implicit voice and shook his head and smiled: "You probably have been worried! Lord Zou Wuzhi returned to Xiaocheng after we left. At this time, he was in charge of the city, so the Xiaocheng garrison would not turn us out."

"Hope." Tian Ji said without comment.

...

The next day, the two ships traveled east along the river bank and never encountered any more chaos.

For the sake of the prince's victory, Tian Ji gave some dry food to the children of Tian Qi on the board boat, which could barely fill his stomach, and there would be no more.

However, except for Yao Ruo, everyone knew that they were in the wrong and did not dare to complain.

As for Yao Ruo, he kept trying to shout to Zou Ping, intending to awaken the sympathy of this tool man.

It’s a pity that the latter was suppressed by Tian Ji’s “iron fist”, and although his face was tangled, he did not dare to do anything.

In the end, Tian Ji simply pulled him aside and studied the next route, so that he had no time to pay attention to Yao Ruo.

Now Yao Ruo has no choice.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that Zou Ping, the tool man who used to obey his words, had become less obedient.

In time, maybe he will fall in love with someone else?

Thinking of this, Yao Ruo suddenly felt resentful in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "It's all the blame for that Ling Taibo. If it weren't for him, why would Zou Ping not listen to me!"

"And Zouping, he actually started to help outsiders deal with me!"

"Hmph, wait. When I return to Xiaocheng and see Lord Zou Wuzhi, I will definitely make you look good!"

...

Two more days later, the two ships finally returned to the port near Xiaocheng.

Compared to when they left, the port was extremely deserted at this time. Not to mention Lu Qi's boatman, there was not even a fishing boat.

"Maybe after knowing the incident of the front-line army, the boat army took the initiative to shrink the front line." Prince Sheng smiled and cheered everyone up.

The Zhou Shi was unable to contact the river, so Prince Sheng decided to go ashore and go to Xiaocheng directly.

The children of Tian Qi, who had already had enough of the slump of the board ship, also followed him to the ashore.

"Bowen, will we go with you too?" Mo Yan asked.

"No." Tian Ji said without hesitation, "In this way, you continue to lead everyone east along the river bank and stay alert. I will follow up and see the situation..."

Then Tian Ji whispered to Mo Yan about his follow-up route arrangements and general plans.

This was all studied by him and Zou Ping in the past two days.

When getting off the boat, Mo Yan pulled him worriedly and said, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone, why don't you take me with you?"

Tian Ji pinched her bag's face and smiled and said, "It's more convenient for me to act alone, whether it's hidden or running away. If I bring someone else, it will slow down."

He pointed to the other people on the ship and said, "Besides, you are the only one here who has the richest experience in the battlefield and the most stable. I don't feel at ease to leave it to others."

Mo Yan gave up, but he still suggested that the fields be brought with him to rush to farm.

Tian Ji thought about it and agreed.

Although the body is huge, the foundation is still the Liujia Yang God. The body can be retracted into the Liujia Yang ring at any time. When you need to run away, there will be no additional load.

As for weapons and armor, they are all ordinary military standards, and they will be thrown away if they are thrown away. There are still a lot of reserves on the ship.

...

After getting ashore at the port, everyone found that it was like on the river and disappeared.

Only the debris thrown on the road can indicate that the people here should have evacuated in a hurry.

"It seems that there are also changes in Xiaocheng."

Tian Ji sat on his shoulders, looking at the messy scene of the port with a serious look.

Even Prince Sheng could not maintain his smile and looked around uneasyly, hoping to find a figure.

After leaving the port for several miles, the walls of Xiaocheng appeared in sight.

At this time, from a distance, the city gates were open and the official roads were full of traffic, no different from the past.

"At least there are still people in Xiaocheng!"

Seeing this, the children of Tian Qi nobles breathed a sigh of relief and accelerated their progress.

Only Tian Jimu kept silent and his eyes became more and more serious.

After walking for a while, everyone finally saw clearly the situation on the city wall.

A large number of soldiers patrolled back and forth, and the equipment guarding the city such as crossbows, mulberry and other cities were pushed to the city wall, which was no different from when they left.

But there is something that has completely changed.

The flags waving in the wind on the city wall turned into black.

Blackwater men's military flag.
