Li Fengxian's face turned gloomy.

The Ninth Prince is really a good calculator. It was originally his own fault, but now he wants to pick peaches.

"There are armies of the Ming Empire everywhere outside now. The Ninth Prince has a distinguished status, so it is safer to stay here in Yongding City. It is better to let the soldiers do the fighting." Li Fengxian naturally thought of rejecting the Ninth Prince.

How could the Ninth Prince pick up such a good thing in vain?

If he really wanted to remove Chen Changfeng's head, wouldn't the credit go to his ninth prince?

When the time comes to return to the capital of Dachu, won't the Ninth Prince be able to use this opportunity to work with the Eighth Prince to deal with the Crown Prince Xiang Ying?

Li Fengxian would not let such a thing happen.

"General Li, it's my prince's business whether it's dangerous or not. My father asked me to supervise the army. If you don't obey my orders, don't blame me for joining you." The Ninth Prince showed a cold look on his face, completely disinterested.

Give face to Li Fengxian, the unparalleled general of Chu.

Li Fengxian stood up suddenly and stared at the Ninth Prince in front of him.

In all his years in the army, Li Fengxian, this is the first time he has been threatened like this.

The Ninth Prince looked at Li Fengxian with cold eyes, but he was not worried at all that Li Fengxian would attack him.

He is the ninth prince of the Chu Empire. Unless Li Fengxian wants to betray the Chu Empire, he must obey his orders.

"Ninth Prince, the frontline battlefield is very dangerous. If something happens to you, don't blame me for not warning you." Li Fengxian squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

"Thank you, General Li, for your concern. This prince will leave first." The Ninth Prince sneered, knowing that Li Fengxian had agreed.

"Noisy--" Li Fengxian's angry curses rang out in the room.

…

Skyline Canyon.

Two thousand Black Guards soldiers were hiding under the rocks. Fortunately, the rock space was large enough. The entire canyon was three miles long and could easily accommodate so many of them.

But now they have discovered that the way out before and after the canyon is blocked by a lot of boulders.

If you want to get out, you must move the boulder away.

But there is a mountain-like pile of rocks in front of them. When do they have to move it?

They would have starved to death before they could finish moving the stones.

All the black-armored soldiers were sitting on the ground with confusion in their eyes.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" The general of the Black Armored Guards sat opposite Chen Changfeng, his eyes swept around a circle of frustrated Black Armored Guards soldiers, and then looked at Chen Changfeng expectantly.

He just went to investigate it himself.

It is simply impossible to move away the huge boulder.

Moreover, he seemed to hear the neighing of war horses outside the boulder, but the accent of those soldiers clearly did not belong to the Ming Dynasty cavalry.

Obviously, both sides outside were blocked by Da Chu's cavalry.

Even if they were lucky enough to remove the huge boulder, they would be easily defeated by the Chu cavalry when they were tired and hungry.

But regardless of this huge boulder, they will still be trapped in the canyon here.

"How many rations do we have?" Chen Changfeng asked casually.

"We can still hold on for two days." The general replied, but his face looked bad.

After two days, they ran out of food, and either all starved to death here, or had to kill horses for meat, but those war horses stayed with them for several years...

"From now on, every hour, mobilize a hundred soldiers to knock on the boulder blocking the exit. The louder the better, there is no need to actually move the boulder." Chen Changfeng's order left the general at a loss.

He didn't understand the meaning of Chen Changfeng's actions at all.

"Your Highness, this..."

"Do as I say, and the rest of you will rest where you are." Chen Changfeng interrupted the general's questioning.

The general stood up helplessly. Although the order was obviously meaningless, he could not think of any solution. Now he could only take one step at a time.

A huge sound of banging boulders soon sounded in the canyon.

When Wen Liang received the news, his face became even more joyful. He thought that the people behind him wanted to move the boulder, but it couldn't be that simple.

When the people inside run out of energy, they can only starve to death inside.

"Go quickly and send the order for the soldiers to camp outside the canyon. I want to see how many days they can hold on." Wen Liang issued the order.

Soon, a new barracks appeared at the west entrance of Yixiantian Canyon.

After receiving the news, Chen Qingzhi, who was five miles away, felt helpless on his face.

…

The first day passed quickly, but there was no movement from all parties.

Liu Shuwen's army was trapped on the front line by Li Fengxian, and he wanted to send a small force to open the exit on the east side, where there were already five thousand Chu Overlord troops ready to go.

At the western entrance, Wen Liang led 5,000 infantrymen, plus 5,000 Overlord troops, and even the camp was set up.

The three thousand black-armored guards had no chance at all.

Wen Liang was even more excited. There was no movement from the Ming army, which showed that they really had no choice.

So the credit for taking down Chen Changfeng and the two thousand black armored guards of the Ming Dynasty belongs to Wenliang.

Such merit is enough for him to be granted the title of Marquis of Wenliang.

"General, the Ninth Prince has arrived with five thousand troops." Wen Liang was thinking about the good things in the future when the soldiers came in to report.

Before Wen Liang could speak, the Ninth Prince opened the tent door and walked in.

Wen Liang's expression changed slightly, but he did not dare to ignore it and said hurriedly: "Why are you here, Your Highness Ninth Prince?"

"I, the prince, have led the troops to help you. I want to take Chen Changfeng's head back to the capital and present it to my father. Is it okay, General Wen?" The Ninth Prince sat down directly and asked Wen Liang expressionlessly.

Wen Liang's heart sank, knowing that the Ninth Prince came and made it clear that he wanted to take credit.

Why did Li Fengxian let him come?

Wen Liang thought to himself, but a smile appeared on his face: "If General Li is fine, then General Li will be fine as well."

Wen Liang wanted to blame the matter on Li Fengxian, but the Ninth Prince sneered: "General Wen, you are a smart man. Since I am here, I naturally informed Li Fengxian."

"The prince is now in decline, and Li Fengxian will not be rampant for long. If I were General Wen, I should make a new choice."

Wen Liang did not respond, but smiled: "Since General Li has agreed, then the general will naturally have no objection."

"The Ninth Prince can just take Chen Changfeng's head when the time comes."

The Ninth Prince looked gloomy, snorted lightly, then turned and left.

Wen Liang sneered. Although Prince Xiang Ying was in decline, he was still the prince after all. If he wanted to surrender, why would he take the credit from himself?

There was still the sound of banging stones in the canyon the next day, but it was obviously much quieter than yesterday.

Wen Liang sent someone to look at it, but they could only vaguely see soldiers with black armor constantly beating the stone, as if they wanted to break it into pieces.

Wen Liang sneered after hearing the news, thinking that if he let them escape like this, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

Two days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Qingzhi could no longer sit still.

He knew that the two thousand black armored guards led by Chen Changfeng only brought two days of rations.

If he couldn't think of a way to rescue him, Chen Changfeng and the two thousand black-armored guards would really be trapped and die in the canyon.

"Send my order, everyone, prepare for war." Chen Qingzhi walked out of the camp and shouted to the ordering soldiers.

By now, he couldn't care about anything else.
