C416 Divination

Lee Yao was indeed angry. He also restrained everyone except Ding Zhaoyun to not come out to welcome him, to express his silent protest against Zhang Jingxuan's adventurous approach.

However, when he saw Zhang Jingxuan, who was full of scars, step into the tent and still forced a smile on his face, he could not help feeling sorry for him. The burden he had placed on this young man might be too heavy.

"Advisor, I'm back. Fortunately, I went in time. You didn't know how dangerous it was at that time. You were only one step away, and Little Gan and Little Ding were going to lose their lives."

Zhang Jingxuan smiled without saying anything. When everyone saw this, they also felt ashamed. As expected, the moral integrity of the Sect Master was blown along with the wind, blowing and blowing away my pride and indulgence. It seemed like Mr. Lee Yao was in control of some mysterious garden that no one knew about.

In private, Lee Yao could still put on a stern face and advise Zhang Jingxuan. In public, he had to protect this sect master of Litre Bucket Sect and the authority of the king of the Great Eastern Kingdom.

"Sect master, this official was unable to go out to welcome your return because of the important military affairs. Please forgive me."

Lee Yao hurriedly got up to apologize. In fact, he saw that his brother, who was riddled with injuries but still had to forcefully support himself, and could no longer be bothered to blame him.

“ Oh? What happened?" Zhang Jingxuan knew that something extremely important must have happened since the advisor had spoken. His subordinates probably didn't know about it.

"Two things! ___ said. The first thing might be a good thing, but Tu Xingjiu and Ni Caiye from the Suizhou had come out of the city to surrender. There's also a great lama who came with them. He said he wants to meet the heroes of our Central Plains. He wants to compete with you, Sect Leader. General Ding Zhaoyun Ding could not see his arrogant and despotic look. So he taught him a lesson. At least he had some ability. After more than a hundred rounds of fighting, he was hit by General Ding's fist. Because his mouth was not clean, he was captured in the camp and waited for you to come back and punish him."

" Oh? Haha, that sounds good. This Divine King has finally been influenced by our divine might. If he defends outside the city, then count them in. " When Zhang Jingxuan heard the good news, his heart raced. In a siege battle, there would always be people dying. Moreover, most of the experts around him were injured. This was not a good time to fight.

"En, I acted on my own accord and didn't give you the chance to choose. I'll let you hear the good news first. Next up is bad news " When he said the bad news, Lee Yao's face was no longer as cold as ice. Perhaps he was afraid that it would make Zhang Jingxuan feel worse.

"According to the information obtained by the scout, two days ago, Lee Hongji's team fought a great battle with the Ming Army in Xiangyang. In the end, they suffered a crushing defeat. Lee Hongji's team was completely routed."

"Ah!" There were still others in the camp who didn't know about this news. They were just as surprised as Zhang Jingxuan.

A few days ago, they were still at the height of their power and defeated the Ming Army's troops. Who would have thought that they would be defeated by the Ming Army in such a short time? This plot twist was a little too fast.

"How about Lee Hongji?" Zhang Jingxuan was still concerned about this.

Speaking of which, this world was already a furnace. As long as there was a fire seed in hand, there was no need to worry about not igniting the fire.

"It's hard to say whether the chaotic army was caught by the Ming Army. It's said that only a small number of people escaped with them." Lee Yao replied.

"Alright. I understand why Tu Xingjiu and the others want to leave the city and surrender!" How could there be an egg underneath a basin? Tu Xingjiu, Ni Caiye and the others weren't stupid either. If they didn't want to surrender to the Ming Army, then they could only express goodwill to the Rising Dou Army. They couldn't possibly offend all of them, right?

As for that Great Lama, Master Kuizhong definitely didn't want to surrender. He still had other intentions in mind, but in the end, he suffered a great loss under Ding Zhaoyun's hands, who was suppressing the flames of anger in his heart.

"So you know why I am so anxious, right? Ming Army might take advantage of this opportunity to attack at any moment. At this time, you are not in the army. If you come back two days later, you will lose the backbone of the team. At least, you will lose half of your combat strength! I'm afraid that everyone will have to split up and leave. " Lee Yao was not complaining. He was really feeling bitter in his heart!

The safety of nearly ten thousand people was hanging on his shoulders, and no one would feel relaxed.

"Alright, alright. Sir Military Advisor, I came back in time. Next, whether we fight or leave, we still have to make a decision as soon as possible. However, Xiangyang is easy to defend and hard to attack. How could Lee Hongji and the others be defeated so miserably? " When he heard this news, Zhang Jingxuan, who originally felt exhausted to the point of being unable to extricate himself, was forced to wake up again.

What did he mean by this autumn of life and death? It was probably also at this moment.

"Lee Hongji's division carries the might of a new victory, and is known as a hundred thousand elite soldiers. That's why they arranged their troops outside Xiangyang to meet the enemy. The one leading the troops was Great Tang's chief soldier, Cao Wenzhao. He only had fifteen thousand soldiers. Among them, there were five thousand Guan Ning soldiers. The previous victory had made Lee Hongji, Liu Zujie, and the others overinflated. They thought that their troops could rely on their numerical advantage to defeat their opponents. In the end, they were wrong!"

Lee Yao said lightly, as if it was a trivial matter. But with Lee Hongji's mistake, at least tens of thousands of lives had been turned into ashes.

Of course, the reason why he was so easily defeated was also related to the sudden disappearance of the reliable people he relied on.

"There are only 15,000 people in Ming Army, and there are less than a hundred thousand of Lee Hongji's subordinates. There are at least eighty thousand of them. They have just experienced such a huge battle. I think the Ming Army has suffered heavy losses as well. They won't come and attack us in a short period of time, right? "

At this time, Ding Zhaoyun rushed in hastily. When he heard Lee Yao's words, he added that his precious daughter had just returned safely. It seemed like Ding Zhaoyun wasn't in the mood to fight anymore.

"According to my speculation, the situation might not be so optimistic. Lee Hongji's team did have a lot of people, but it was not easy to lead them. His subordinates were standing at the top of the mountain, each of them thinking of their own plans. Facing Cao Wenzhao, who had the nickname of One Cao in the army, a Western Thief, he said. They probably wanted the others to take the lead and reap the benefits themselves.

After the vanguard was hit head-on, they wanted to retreat and conserve their strength when they saw that the situation was not right. That was why they were faced with such a huge defeat. If it is really as I am worried about, then Cao Wenzhao's troops would not suffer much casualties. Moreover, their morale is at its peak. They might very well bring the might of a great victory to attack us."

Although Lee Yao was a hundred miles away, it sounded as though he was standing right in front of them.

The situation was just as he had said. If all of Lee Hongji's troops were really willing to bravely face the enemy, then... No matter how brave and brave Cao Wenzhao's troops were, at most, they would only end up with a miserable victory. How could they obtain such a great victory like now?

Lee Yao seemed to have divine foresight.
