Chapter 702: Chickens fighting each other [Subscribe*Monthly ticket requested]

From direct disciples to grand disciples of the next generation, the Xiang family always makes the worst decisions at critical moments.

"When you are away from home, it is different from being in the clan. Young master, please take good care of yourself!" Xiang Liang gave some instructions, then followed the army to evacuate Yangdu City.

Outside Yangdu City, Bingzhou Camp.

"Notify the Marquis of Yangdu in Qi!" Li Ren had already learned from the spy's report that the Chu army had withdrawn.

"We're not entering the city?" the deputy general asked doubtfully.

"The Tenglong Corps suffered heavy losses, and the Leibao Corps also suffered a great loss. Who knows if they will retaliate!" Li Ren said lightly.

It is not uncommon in history to use a city that is not your own as a trap.

Li Ren didn't want the Bingzhou army to suffer any unnecessary losses.

He would feel sad if a soldier died.

The deputy general also understood that if the Chu army left some trap in Yangdu City and used the entire city to bury them, they would really be in trouble if they rashly entered the city.

Therefore, instead of entering the city by themselves, it is better to let the powerful people of Qi enter the city first and use the nobles' private soldiers to scout the way for them.

Even though the Chu army had evacuated for several days, the Bingzhou army did not choose to enter the city.

It was not until the Marquis of Yangdu of Qi and his private soldiers had been in the city for ten days and were sure there were no dangers or traps that the Bingzhou army entered Yangdu in batches.

The State of Chu did not want to break off completely with Bingzhou, so it only took away the food and grass from Yangdu, and did not cause extensive damage or leave any traps.

However, due to the caution of the Bingzhou army, Xiang Ji had to wait alone in Yangdu for nearly half a month.

"I feel sorry for you, so Yangdu has sent you away!" Li Ren frowned as he looked at the words left in the City Lord's Mansion.

Yang Duhou was also so cautious that he didn't even dare to breathe.

Who knows what the Chu army was crazy about? They just left and left such words behind.

It seemed as if he was pitying them and sending the beggars away.

"Good trick, but too low-level!" Li Ren suppressed his anger.

As a general, you should not raise an army in anger.

It was obvious that the Chu army was deliberately provoking him so that he would pursue the Chu army regardless of everything.

But this is too much of an underestimation of oneself. Such despicable means are really not worthy of being put on the table.

"The Chu army has withdrawn from Yangdu. My lord, you can also tell your friends to take back your own city!" Li Ren turned and looked at the Marquis of Yangdu.

Marquis Yangdu was delighted. Although the Chu army took away the wealth of the cities, most of the wealth had actually been taken away by them before they withdrew.

The real wealth is actually the people of the entire city.

Now that they can take the city back, their status is guaranteed and they are no longer rootless.

"Thank you, General!" Yang Duhou bowed and then secretly handed over several land deeds and documents of several shops.

"What do you mean?" Li Renhu glared.

"General, thank you for your hard work. This is our thanks!" Yang Duhou was not afraid of Li Ren's fierce gaze. "General, rest assured. We have made a backup plan. We did not directly record it in your name."

Only then did Li Ren nodded and accepted it.

I just came here to make some money.

However, they were also afraid of being investigated by the military supervisors and the censors.

Bingzhou is very strict with corrupt officials.

"Although Bingzhou will not participate in your fight with the King of Qi, we can still handle some minor matters besides this!"

Li Ren also knew that he had to give some benefits to these powerful people.

They would not help the King of Qi in the internal fighting with the royal family, nor would they help the royal family deal with the King of Qi, but apart from that, they could still fight bandits or something.

"Thank you, General!" Yang Duhou also breathed a sigh of relief. The Chu army was gone, but because of the war, many people had become bandits and occupied the mountains as kings.

It is not easy for them to deal with these mountain kings.

But now, with Li Ren's approval, they can also use the Bingzhou Army to clean up these local cancers.

As Qi was the country with the most prosperous merchants, the existence of these mountain kings greatly affected their way to wealth.

Of course, some of these mountain kings have their people behind them, but they are only a minority after all.

Therefore, they needed Bingzhou to help them suppress bandits within Qi State and earn some reputation, so that King Jian of Qi would not kill them for various reasons.

As long as they have a reputation, King Jian of Qi will have to think twice before taking any action against them.

However, an unexpected accident occurred.

Yangdu was recovered, but the powerful people of Chu did not evacuate other cities occupied by Chu.

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Rendu was a little confused and puzzled. Are these nobles of Chu State seeking death?
This isn't the right way to seek death.

The Chu army withdrew from Qi and headed for Anling of the old Han. How dare these powerful people stay in Qi?
"How dare they?" Li Ren couldn't think of any reason at all.

With just a few dozen or hundreds of private soldiers at their disposal, did they dare to continue occupying the cities of Qi when there were 30,000 troops stationed in Yangdu?
"Do you need us to send troops?" asked the deputy general with a frown.

For this kind of small battle, they don't even need to send out their large army, and five hundred lords can easily solve it.

However, the nobles of Qi and Chu were still fighting fiercely.

"A bunch of noobs fighting each other!" Li Ren held his forehead with his hand.

It's just a bunch of noobs fighting each other.

The private armies of the two countries' dignitaries fought each other for a city, and the battle was very fierce.

Li Ren was really dumbfounded.

"How dare they?" Xiang Liang, Ji Bu and Banbu were also a little confused.

Are these powerful people really so stupid?
The army has already withdrawn, why dare they still stay in Qi?

Although they deliberately chose these people to take the blame for them, but...

Well, if I weren't so stupid, I wouldn't have come to take the blame for them.

"What should we do now?" Bambu asked, looking at the two of them.

"What can I do?" Ji Bu rolled his eyes.

Then turn around and go back to fight the Bingzhou army?
Crazy!
"If these playboys don't understand, then the people behind them don't understand either?" Xiang Liang was really disappointed with the powerful people in Chu State.

The young dandies don’t understand war, but don’t the people behind them understand it either?

With the fall of Yangdu, they have already lost control of the southern part of Qi. But they are not taking advantage of the situation now and are evacuating Chu. Instead, they are still occupying the cities of Qi. Do they really think that the military situation in Bingzhou is disadvantageous?

For the first time, the three generals were completely disappointed with the powerful people of Chu.

In the past, they could be thought to be just crazy for profit and not fools, but now they are skeptical.

There is not a single person in the entire country who knows anything about military affairs!

"Let's send some people to help them take back the cities!" Li Ren decided to dispatch troops to help the Qi nobles to completely take back the cities.

He really couldn't stand watching this kind of noobs fighting each other.

If something happens to any powerful person, it will greatly affect their ability to make money in Qi.

The deputy general nodded, opened the military camp, and let the powerful people of Qi go find help themselves.

It is also an opportunity for officers and soldiers at all levels in Bingzhou to make money.
