He closed his eyes to block out the distractions and silently gathered this information in his mind. First of all, Le Zhengming’s situation was indeed very bad. He was defeated by the enemy and betrayed by his own army. Now he was out of ammunition and food and had nowhere to go.
Secondly, the wave of enemy troops that just retreated will attack again. If 7480 was right, it should be three days later.
Finally, the Ninth Prince and Zhuang Ran who appeared in this story were the enemies of Le Zhengming. They might have some connection with the Lord God, or it might just be a simple political struggle.
Forty thousand troops against an army of 180,000, the gap between the two sides was too great.
Zhuang Li frowned deeply, and then began to calculate various war models.
7480 laughed in his mind: “Master, have you thought of a way to escape?”
“Although 40,000 troops are few in number, they can fight their way out. Let’s save our lives first and talk about other things later.” Zhuang Li said nonchalantly.
7480 immediately denied it, “It’s impossible. If Guandu is lost, Guancheng will fall soon. There are hundreds of thousands of civilians living there. Le Zhengming will never choose to escape even if he dies. He will not abandon the people. He will only choose to hold on!”
Zhuang Li probed, “Thank you for your affirmation of my lover. You are right. He is not capable of such a dirty thing. He is not like the child of destiny chosen by your Lord God, who can abandon morality and humanity and turn into a beast for a little selfish gain.”
“Who are you calling a beast? The Child of Destiny is going to dominate this plane! You can’t even imagine what he will achieve!” 7480 retorted, jumping up and down.
“Dominate the plane? A mere ninth prince? Is he worthy of it?” Zhuang Li tested again.
7480 blushed and said, “What qualifications do you have to look down on the Ninth Prince? In terms of strategy, courage, and spirit, he is no worse than Le Zhengming! He is surrounded by many famous teachers and generals. He is a natural king!”
“Only by killing my lover can he become the king. If my lover is still alive, he is nothing.” Zhuang Li said calmly.
“It’s a pity that you and your lover will die in three days! Why are you so proud? If you have the ability, help Le Zhengming win this battle!” 7480 twisted his butt and turned around in the small dark room.
La la la, after three days it will be completely free!
Zhuang Li stretched out his slender index finger and gently tapped his forehead. He concentrated and thought for a moment, then replied, “Okay.”
7480 was confused: “What’s good about that?”
“I think I can help my lover win this battle.” Zhuang Li stood up, walked to the stable, and shouted to the strong man who had grabbed him earlier, “Hey, I want to see General Le Zhengming!”
“Who are you calling, kid?” The burly man walked over aggressively.
“Then do you know who I am?” Zhuang Li raised his chin and narrowed his eyes. His arrogant and contemptuous expression made people angry.
The strong man said sarcastically: “Aren’t you just a phoenix with its feathers plucked? You are worse than a pheasant right now. Why are you trying to be so arrogant to me? Let me tell you, your mother is dead, your uncle is also dead, and no one will protect you in this Wei Kingdom!”
“Do you know why you were sent to our army? Zhuang Xu knew about your father and the Ninth Prince’s plan a long time ago. He knew that our army would be ambushed by the Jie people, so he sent you here to let you be killed with a borrowed knife! Do you still think that this Wei is your uncle’s Wei? Pah, you are an idiot!”
The strong man spat on the ground and turned away. It could be heard that he was very dissatisfied with the current situation of Wei State, which was probably due to the conspiracy of the Ninth Prince and the corruption of the upper class.
7480 became happier and happier. He laughed non-stop in his host’s mind and taunted, “Master, you don’t know anything right now. You are completely in the dark. Why are you still struggling? Just wait to die!”
Zhuang Li lay on the wooden fence, holding a piece of grass in his hand and swinging it back and forth. He looked lonely, but in fact he asked one question after another in his mind: “System, my uncle was the previous ruler of Wei, right?”
“In that case, my mother is a princess, of noble status.”
“That person also said that Zhuang Xu had known about my father and the Ninth Prince’s plan. Combined with the comments of these deserters, Zhuang Ran is my father, right? Zhuang Ran, Zhuang Xu, Zhuang Li, all have the last name Zhuang, this is not a coincidence, right?”
“The probability that the three of us being a family is as high as 90%. Is Zhuang Xu my brother or uncle? I guess he is a brother. He personally sent me to Guandu and took so much trouble. His generation and status should not be high.”
“He knew Zhuang Ran’s plan, but he put me in a desperate situation. He and I must be from different mothers, and we must have been competing for living resources since we were young. He must hate me.”
“The current Ninth Prince is the son of the new emperor.”
“Zhuang Ran has a close relationship with the Ninth Prince, so he should be the new emperor’s man. Zhuang Ran must have been involved in the deaths of my mother and uncle, as well as the change of supreme power in this dynasty.”
“My mother is the elder sister of the previous emperor. Her existence was a thorn in the heart of the new emperor. In order to show his loyalty to the new emperor, Zhuang Ran would definitely have found a way to get rid of us.”
“No wonder this body, which grew up in luxury and comfort, was still sent to this place where it is bound to die.” Zhuang Li stared at his own fair and delicate hands and suddenly realized.
7480 who was very proud: “…”
F**k! How did the host get to know this?
