The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 362 Duke Qi, I’m afraid he’s in trouble
After hearing these words, Gu Yuzhi could no longer hide his excitement. He sat up again and subconsciously moved towards Xie Changshi, trying to grab his sleeve.

But this time, Xie Changshi not only did not step forward, but also took two steps back, obviously not wanting His Highness to be stained with his own blood.

Gu Yuzhi pouted, and his mood soon became high again. He looked out and saw no one else: "Where are Mr. Huo and Prince Qi?"

"Mr. Huo and Zhu Shoubei are cleaning the battlefield, and Prince Qi has gone to the Yamen to handle matters..."

Xie Changshi said softly: "Guard Zhang urgently sent someone to call Prince Qi to the Yamen. I heard that it was the soldiers who were imprisoned before who confessed something."

Is it something bad to be in such a hurry?
Gu Yuzhi's head was spinning very fast, but he couldn't think of what it was. He just said "Oh" and then grinned: "Then when Prince Qi comes back, we will discuss what to do next."

He knew that the navy that besieged Huizhou only had more than 4,000 men. What they would face next was the emperor's brother's navy of tens of thousands, or private soldiers.

But no matter what, a good start is always inspiring.

Xie Changshi nodded and looked at Gu Yuzhi with eyes that could not hide his joy: "Your Highness, we did not have the numerical advantage in this battle, but we still won a complete victory. Speaking of which, it was also thanks to Your Highness that we persuaded the Yudingmen Those rebels outside.”

If the battle outside Yuding Gate had not ended quickly, and few of the elite soldiers were seriously injured, and they had not supported Dongxizhimen in time, I am afraid that this battle, even if they were victorious, would have been particularly tragic.

I was praised!

Gu Yuzhi smiled so hard that his eyes curled up, and he slowly lay down. He pulled the quilt with some embarrassment, slightly covering his face, and then hid in the quilt and laughed heartily.

After a while, he pulled away the quilt and asked in a low voice about what happened on the battlefield. When he learned that the number of casualties had to wait until Mr. Huo and the others counted them, Gu Yuzhi made a low voice.

Drowsiness struck again, and this time, Gu Yuzhi could finally sleep safely.

Judge Qin carefully covered Gu Yuzhi's abdomen with the quilt, put down the bed curtain, and then quietly walked out with Xie Changshi.

Gu Yuzhi slept extremely soundly that night and did not wake up until the evening of the next day.

After waking up from this long sleep, Gu Yuzhi felt that he was full of energy and could immediately pick up his sword and mount his horse to fight the rebels for another three hundred rounds.

Hearing this, Shu Xiaohan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Looking at Gu Yuzhi's resentful eyes, Shu Xiaohan immediately stopped laughing, cleared his throat, and explained in a low voice: "Teacher Shu didn't mean to look down on you."

She tilted her head and tutted: "How to explain..."

Wen Xiuzhu said angrily: "What she means is that Your Highness is particularly cute when you say such things."

Gu Yuzhi snorted arrogantly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "I'm not cute."

He patted his chest gently: "I am His Highness King Wen, who is both civil and military! I am powerful, not cute!"

No one is allowed to call him cute from now on!

Gu Yuzhi hummed, put on his clothes carefully, and wandered out. Only then did he realize that the setting sun had shrouded the sky outside, and the sky seemed to have been washed by water. The blue and fiery red clouds met, and the whole sky was particularly beautiful.

He slightly twitched the tip of his nose and suddenly said: "It seems that after taking down those rebels, the weather in Huizhou has improved."

On the day we arrived, there was a strong wind in Huizhou. Although there was no strong wind yesterday evening, the clouds were so dense that the moonlight was blocked. And these weather conditions are obviously very conducive to their combat.

It’s like God is helping them!
Gu Yuzhi touched his flat belly and walked briskly towards the main courtyard.

I learned from Teacher Shu that he slept for a long time, no wonder he was so hungry when he woke up.

Before he reached the main courtyard, he saw Mr. Xie, Mr. Shi and Huo walking side by side in his direction.

Seeing that it was him, Mr. Huo quickened his pace and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you are awake. Prince Qi has arranged for the chef of Baoyue Zhai to prepare meals. I and Xie Changshi are about to call you."

When he heard it was Baoyuezhai, Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up and he said in a cheerful tone: "Let's go, let's go, I'm so hungry!"

Seeing such a happy Gu Yuzhi, Xie Changshi and Mr. Huo looked at each other, and their heavy hearts became much lighter.

After Gu Yuzhi finished his meal, Mr. Huo reported yesterday's battle situation to him: "None of the elite soldiers led by Jiang Kangming were killed, five were seriously injured, and twenty were lightly injured. Twenty-two of the defenders died and fifty were seriously injured. One hundred and thirty-five people were slightly injured.”

This casualty data is actually very good. After all, the defenders really have never seen much blood, let alone fighting against well-trained naval forces.

Gu Yuzhi touched his bulging belly, feeling not in a good mood.

No matter what, their people still die.

He pursed his lips and digested the news for a while before saying, "What's the news from the guards in that chapter?"

Hearing this, the relaxed look on Xie Changshi's face disappeared instantly, and he whispered: "Those rebels outside Yuding Gate confessed that they are not regular naval forces, but private soldiers of His Highness King Chu."

Gu Yuzhi frowned and glanced at Xie Changshi suspiciously, apparently not understanding what Xie Changshi meant by this.

Isn’t everyone aware that Brother Chu Wang has a private army?
Why did Xie Changshi look so ugly when he said this?

Xie Changshi sighed lightly and said patiently: "From the words of these soldiers, we can deduce that the King of Chu has mixed his private soldiers and navy together."

"That is to say, unless you ask the Ministry of War to register, you can't tell who is a private soldier and who is a navy soldier!"

Mr. Huo also said solemnly: "The most important thing is that I also learned a piece of news from these people. There are many generals in the navy who were promoted by private soldiers."

What does this mean? It means that King Chu has completely trained the navy into his own private soldier!
Gu Yuzhi's previous words of persuasion to surrender could only persuade a small number of the navy, but most of the navy must have been completely convinced by the King of Chu and obeyed the King of Chu.

Gu Yuzhi suddenly thought of something, and his pupils were so shocked that he couldn't help but dilate: "What happened! Lord Qi!"

They had previously thought that the number of people who would besiege the Duke of Qi might only be 100,000 naval troops, but now these rebels confessed that they no longer distinguish between naval forces and private soldiers, and that the number of people who would besiege the Duke of Qi would be more than 100,000 people.

As for the Lingnan garrison, there are only more than 100,000 people, and it is even more impossible for Qi Guogong to transfer all these 100,000 people!

Thinking of Qi Guogong, Mr. Huo also sighed softly: "Yes, the situation in Huizhou is not the most urgent now. Qi Guogong, I am afraid that I will be in trouble..."
