Chapter 189 Waiting for good news
The third day of August, noon, Prince Yuncheng’s Mansion.
Xiao Yifei had just received the battle report from the front.
Due to floods blocking the roads, many battle reports could not be sent out in time.
Seeing the thick stack of battle reports, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but feel a heavy pressure in his heart.
"Li Fei led an army of 100,000 to attack Kunyang City, but was ambushed by the enemy halfway."
"A sudden torrential rain fell in the middle of the night, and the 100,000-strong army was in an extremely difficult situation."
"Rivers are swollen, mountain torrents are raging, and countless people are drowning and missing."
"Coach Li Fei only brought a few thousand people back to the camp."
"The Eastern Army lost almost no soldiers."
These battle reports made Xiao Yifei shocked and angry.
He had originally had hope for this war, but now it seems that the situation is much more serious than he imagined.
He realized that he needed to reassess his strategy and take more decisive action to address the enemy's threats.
Xiao Yifei held the thick stack of battle reports in his hand, his face terribly gloomy.
He flipped through the pages in silence. When he saw the last page, his hands began to tremble and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.
His eyes widened, staring intently at the paper in his hand, as if he wanted to see through it.
Suddenly, his eyes went dark, his body fell forward, and the battle report in his hand scattered to the ground.
The next morning, Xiao Yifei ordered:
"Reappoint Xiao Yi as the commander-in-chief and lead 300,000 troops to immediately withdraw from the Eastern Kingdom and return to Yuncheng."
The Southeast War ended with the victory of the Eastern Army.
Three days later, the victory news was reported back to the imperial capital and the whole country celebrated.
Prince Yan and Princess Yan have made great contributions again!
When Crown Prince Chu Tianxing received the news, he immediately ran to Concubine Qi's palace.
"Mother, Mother, what should I do?"
Concubine Qi glared at Chu Tianxing and asked, "Why are you panicking?"
"They have accomplished a great deed this time."
"It doesn't matter if you have done a good deed, you still have to see if you can come back alive."
"Mother, you have a solution, right?"
Chu Tianxing's eyes lit up and he grabbed Concubine Qi's arm and shook it.
Concubine Qi raised her hand and knocked Chu Tianxing's hand away. "Look at you. How can you be a crown prince?"
Chu Tianxing hurriedly stood up and saluted Concubine Qi in a proper manner.
"I will obey you, mother."
Only then did Concubine Qi nod with satisfaction.
"I have already written a secret letter to your cousin."
Concubine Qi said calmly, with a gleam of determination in her eyes.
"Qi Zhendong from Yuncheng?" Chu Tianxing frowned slightly, seeming a little confused.
"That's right!" Concubine Qi nodded affirmatively.
"The assassins he sent out mixed in with Xiao Yi's Southern Army and should be near Kunyang now."
Chu Tianxing suddenly realized, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes:
"That's great. As long as they succeed, they can get rid of Chu Tiancheng and Qin Rubing, the two troublemakers, in one fell swoop."
Concubine Qi smiled slightly and said firmly:
"Yes, as long as Chu Tiancheng dies, the Eastern Kingdom will fall into chaos.
At that time, I will be able to take advantage of the situation and support you to ascend the throne."
Chu Tianxing rubbed his hands excitedly, with greed flashing in his eyes:
"Great! As long as we succeed, we will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Concubine Qi nodded and looked into the distance with a determined look:
"We just need to wait for good news."
The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectation and confidence.
They believed that this plan would succeed and they would become the most powerful people in the Eastern Country in the future.
