In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

Chapter 147: The White-Faced Scholar

After some discussion, Zhang Liang and Li Jing decided to attack Guangling.

However, their attack on Guangling was by no means a reckless action, but a well-planned one.

Chunxuelou's death caused a huge split within Guangling. On the surface, nothing seemed to have changed, but in reality, it was already riddled with holes.

Zhao Yi stood on the top of the city wall, looking at Li Jing's army slowly approaching from the bottom of the tower.

Zhao Piao got his wish and led his troops out of the city to challenge the enemy.

A man and a horse rushed out from Li Jing's army. He was wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. His face was solemn. He looked at Zhao Piao, the Crown Prince of Guangling, and asked, "Is this the Crown Prince of Guangling, Zhao Piao?"

When Zhao Pi heard this, he frowned and said loudly, "It is this prince."

The man said calmly, "My Lord, I will not fight you. Tell your generals in Guangling to come out."

Zhao Piao chuckled and said, "I am the General of Guangling."

The man was stunned when he heard this, and continued: "Zhao Pi, it's not that I look down on you, but you must not die here in vain. If you die, I'm afraid the whole of Guangling will be doomed."

Zhao Piao didn't listen to that man at all.

He just shouted angrily: "Don't speak nonsense in front of me!"

"Show me your skills and fight me."

"This prince wants you to know that anyone who invades Guangling will surely die."

After hearing this, the man didn't waste any words. He drew his spear and the spear was like a dragon, falling towards Zhao Piao like a gust of wind.

After seeing this, Zhao Piao did not retreat at all. Instead, he squeezed his legs together, rode forward, and thrust out the spear in his hand.

clang!

clang!

clang!

Ah!

In just three rounds, Zhao Piao was stabbed off his horse. Upon seeing this, the soldiers behind him were all horrified and rushed forward to surround and rescue the Prince of Huang Guangling.

He hurried back to Guangling City.

Zhao Yi saw that Zhao Pi had been stabbed, with a big hole on his body and blood gushing out. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Piao'er, are you okay?!"

The Prince of Guangling immediately summoned the doctor.

Bandage Zhao Piao's wound.

When Zhao Pi recovered, he looked at Guangling Prince Zhao Yi with horror in his eyes, "Father, I, I..."

Zhao Yi comforted him: "Piao'er, it's good that you have already done it!"

"We can only blame the opponent's general for being so strong."

"The enemy came up and wanted to kill you. Fortunately, the soldiers behind you rescued you in time, otherwise you would have lost your life."

Zhao Yi was shocked. The man was just a young general. After just a few encounters, he stabbed Zhao Piao to death. Judging from the wound, this man did not want to kill Zhao Piao, but deliberately held back.

In an instant.

He thought of something.

Maybe the other party did it on purpose, but what was the purpose?

Just when Zhao Yi was still in doubt, the news that Zhao Piao was stabbed on his horse spread throughout Guangling, and people were in panic for a while.

There was a lot of discussion on the street:

"Even Zhao Piao was defeated?"

"What should I do?"

"He's just a fool, a playboy. He's OK for handling domestic affairs, but he's far from capable of fighting a major war!"

"..."

The people are outraged and everyone is worried, but some are also extremely furious.

"What's the big deal? We can work together!"

"Beiliang's attack on Guangling is a rebellion. We in Guangling are upright and just, so what is there to be afraid of?"

"These are things for the establishment to do and have nothing to do with us."

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with us? We live in Guangling and our home is being taken away from us. How can it have nothing to do with us?"

"..."

Another round of argument.

One of them said, "We all know what kind of person Zhao Piao is. This defeat is nothing to worry about."

Someone else echoed, "Yes, we in Guangling still have many great generals. As long as the King of Guangling arranges the troops and everyone works together, it will be no problem to resist the army outside the city!"

These lower-class people are also somewhat worried at this moment.

But more people believe in King Guangling.

The colleagues also have concerns.

Prince Guangling's colleagues were all top-level decision makers. They knew that Zhao Piao's defeat might be the watershed for Guangling's success or failure.

Several important strategists and generals from Guangling were currently lingering in the meeting hall of the palace.

They have been waiting here for a long time, but Prince Guangling has not arrived yet.

"What's going on? The prince hasn't arrived yet?"

"Maybe he's still with the prince."

"Hey, it's already this late. If the prince has nothing to do, he should quickly discuss leaving the city to challenge the enemy. Why hasn't he come out for so long?"

"Keep your voice down so no one can hear you."

"What's the matter? It's the truth."

"..."

Seeing that Prince Guangling Zhao Yi had not shown up, the officials became extremely anxious.

The army is approaching outside Guangling City.

Everyone's face was solemn, morale was very high, and the army was so powerful that they wanted to flatten the entire Guangling.

With this in mind, the officials looked outside a door, waiting for Prince Guangling to appear.

About an hour later.

King Guangling Zhao Yi appeared in the meeting room. All the officials stood up to greet him and then took their seats.

One of the generals clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go out of the city to challenge you this time."

The officials looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall bearded man, General Wang, one of the most powerful generals in Guangling City.

General Wang was now wearing armor and holding a sharp weapon. He looked solemn and said angrily, "My Lord, this time I will capture the general on the other side."

General Wang was determined to fight Li Jing's army to the death and would never surrender.

He also wanted to meet this general under Li Jing.

Let's see how capable they are.

The colleagues looked at General Wang in surprise. This man usually kept silent, but he suddenly stood up at this time.

Even Guangling King Zhao Yi was stunned and frowned, saying, "General Wang, do you want to go to war?"

General Wang said in a loud voice like a bell: "Yes, Your Majesty, please agree!"

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, okay, I am very pleased that General Wang has such an idea, but it is not your turn to fight now."

After hearing this, General Wang frowned and asked, "Why?"

Zhao Yi said: "General Wang wants to postpone it, and I have my own choice."

After hearing this, General Wang was stunned. "My Lord, who do you want to send out to challenge me?"

Zhao Yi's gaze fell on a person in the corner.

Simultaneously.

The colleagues also followed Zhao Yi's gaze and looked at the man. They were all shocked.

He is a guy who looks like a scholar.

But everyone was muttering in their hearts:

"Why is it him?"

"Your Highness actually wants a scholar to challenge you at this time?"

"He is the son of the owner of Chunxue Tower."

Seeing the gazes of his colleagues, the pale-faced scholar smiled and said, "Everyone, why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhao Yi said, "Everyone, he is the son of the owner of Chunxue Tower. He told me that he wanted to avenge his father. This time he wants to go out of the city to challenge me, and I agreed!"

The colleagues looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Yi continued: "I know that some people are skeptical, but I believe him."

One of the generals clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this matter... please think it over carefully, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
