Chapter 284 Burning Yichang (2)

The next day, the military advisor who had been sleeping soundly all night accompanied Zhu Can to the city of Yichang, intending to explore Lekang's mouth again and see if he was a person from later generations. When he found that there was no one on the city wall, no one agreed even after shouting a few times.

Just when Zhu Can and others were confused, the Yichang city gate suddenly opened, and an old man who seemed to be in his sixties or seventies ran out stumbled and shouted while running: "Big King! King... Le Kang ran away! Le Kang took his people last night!"

When he ran to the front of the army, the old man suddenly tripped and rushed to the ground.

"Have Le Kang ran away?" Zhu Can was stunned for a while and then said to a general next to him: "Bring him here!"

"Here!" The general nodded, and then Ce immediately raised the old man and immediately brought him to Zhu Can: "Speak out everything you know!"

After shrunk for a while, the old man knelt on the ground and said, "I saw the soldiers on the city retreating to the north gate during the third day of today. In the morning, I saw that there was no movement on the city and looked over and found that there was no one left!"

"Have you gone to the north gate? Is there any news coming from the north gate?" Zhu Can looked at the military advisor.

The military advisor shook his head: "No news came from the north gate."

A general next to him suddenly said, "Our army is at the south gate, and there are only three thousand people led by General Liu on the north gate. It is not impossible for Lekang to walk through the north gate. He led a hundred people from the Chifeng Army to kill our vanguard. The three thousand people from the north gate could not stop him at all."

"There will be news coming, and now there is no news." The military advisor shook his head, suddenly looked at the old man, stepped forward and squatted down and asked, "What else do you know?"

"The little old man knows nothing...the little old man...the little old man..."

"Don't panic, old man." After comforting the old man, the military advisor thought for a while and asked, "Do you know where they left from the North Gate?"

"I don't know, the old man just saw Le Kang wearing red clothes and leading the army to the north gate, and he didn't dare to follow..."

After hearing this, the military advisor felt that the same was true. How could ordinary people follow the army? If they were discovered, they would definitely be caught and beaten to death.

Standing up, he turned to Zhu Can and said, "King, let's call people to enter the city to explore the truth and reality first. If there is no ambush, let the army enter the city."

"Even if there is an ambush, what's the use of Lekang's men after the army enters the city?" Zhu Can snorted coldly and said to the general next to him: "Enter the city!"

On the other side, in the woods outside Yichang, Le Kang frowned and looked at the sky, his face not very good.

All of this is due to the gloomy sky now, and it seems that it is about to rain!

The face of the wife beside him was not very good either. She frowned and said to a Jinyiwei on the side: "Didn't you say yesterday that it won't rain these days? Why is the weather like this today!"

When it rains heavily, even if it sets on fire, it will be extinguished by the rain soon.

It's all right to calculate it. I even asked people who can check the weather for the latest weather conditions earlier. I confirmed that it won't rain and how can they look good when they see the current situation?

It takes people to plan things, and it takes heaven to succeed... Even Le Kang couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart at this moment.

"Okay, don't blame him. He is not a god. How can he be 100% sure whether the weather is sunny or rainy?" Le Kang waved his hand and stopped Wu from continuing to question the Jinyiwei... Although the Jinyiwei was very sure that it would not rain recently, yesterday and even a few days ago.

Although there is no weather forecast in this era, it is not impossible to predict the weather at all. Some methods to predict the weather have been summarized hundreds of years ago. Although this method also has flaws and cannot be 100% certain, the weather forecast in later generations is not 100% accurate.

Le Kang can only blame himself for being too anxious and not considering the weather more... Although he also knows that even if he thinks more, it will not be useful, and he doesn't know how to judge the weather, but rather than blaming others, he tends to find problems in himself, because only then can he put everything on himself to solve it.

This approach is not to make himself wronged, nor will he be wronged, but to make himself perfect so that he will not give others any chance.

For him, every mistake is a threshold for him to move towards perfection!

After hearing this, Wu Hua could only glar at the Jinyiwei, and then said to Le Kang: "So what to do next? How many days will it take?"

"The problem is that Zhu Canyun is not allowed to delay for a few days." Le Kang looked at Yichang, and was a little irritated and hammered the trees beside him: "If it rains, then Zhu Can's army should not continue to move south in the past few days, and the problem is not big. But I am afraid that he will go south regardless of everything... I will wait in a hurry, and he will also be in a hurry! About one-third of the food and grass were sank by me in the Yangtze River, and almost all the food and grass in Yichang were sent away. He could not stay in Yichang for long!"

Without food and grass, what is Zhu Can's army doing in Yichang? After eating food and grass, starve to death?

After a pause, Le Kang looked at the Jinyiwei who could judge the weather: "How heavy do you think the rain will be? How long will it take?"

The Jinyiwei hesitated for a moment, looked at the sky, and finally shook his head: "This rain came a bit strange. There was no sign of sign yesterday. It was suddenly raining today. I don't know how big it will be, and how long it will take."

"Tsk!" Touching his left eye, Le Kang whispered: "You are cheating me! You asked me to help and make trouble!"

"What are you talking about?" Ting Lekang murmured, but he couldn't understand the language at all. After asking curiously, Wu said, "It's not raining yet, why don't you burn the city directly?"

"..." Le Kang was silent, not sure if he wanted to do this, but he felt that if he burned the city, he would be afraid that a heavy rain would pour down soon!

"Report!" Suddenly, an Jinyiwei rushed over from the depths of the woods and knelt in front of Le Kang and Wuyao: "There is a man who claimed to be an old friend of the general and deputy envoy in Luoyang. He came to visit him, saying that there was a way to solve the general's troubles!"

"Taoist?" Le Kang was stunned for a moment: "What's the name?"

"That Taoist called himself Yuan Tiangang."

"Master Yuan? Please!" Le Kang suddenly felt that things seemed to be resolved!

Not long after, the Jinyiwei who came to inform him led a familiar figure of Le Kang to come over.

"Young Master Le... isn't right, it's time to talk about General Le." Yuan Tiangang smiled and said to Le Kang: "I haven't seen each other for several months, and my style is even more beautiful than before."

"Stop saying polite words. Master Yuan, come and help me!"
