It’s no wonder that Xu Ren is so shocked, because all this is really unexpected! At this time, Cai should be panicked. He was defeated continuously and lost troops and generals. Cai is now very empty. Fu Minghui doesn’t need too much military wisdom. As long as he moves forward bravely, he will definitely achieve a victory beyond his imagination.

You know, these 30,000 soldiers are the Imperial Guards! Even though the Great Xia Kingdom is now corrupt, the Imperial Guards are still the Imperial Guards. The Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom is not completely foolish.

However, Xu Ren would not have expected such a result no matter what. Such a crushing defeat would not be one ten.

This time the crushing defeat also disrupted many of Xu Ren's plans, such as negotiations with Cai, gaining enough political capital for Li Xian, and Li Xian's commercial dumping plan!

The guards who sent the letter told them little by little, because these things are no longer a secret in the imperial capital, and they have spread a lot, but the specific situation is not very clear.

The presumably situation is that the Northern Expedition had to pass through the area controlled by the eldest prince, which was the current prince who wanted to win over Fu Minghui because his status was in danger. As a result, Fu Minghui directly refused the eldest prince's win over. Fu Minghui was the chief guard beside the emperor and could be called the first person around the emperor, so he naturally could not express his opinion casually.

At the beginning, the eldest prince did not say anything about Fu Minghui and did not take it seriously. According to the plan, he recruited 20,000 servants, chariots, etc. from the eldest prince, and transported a full 20,000 stones of grain to attack north.

After just entering the territory of Cai, the situation was as Xu Ren expected, as he was unstoppable, and he ran 500 miles a day and night, conquering a county a day, and achieved brilliant results. However, when he was preparing breakfast the next day, Fu Minghui was stunned!

The servants recruited from the eldest prince disappeared overnight without a trace, and the 20,000 stones of food were all "green food" and they were moldy!

The army went deeper and there was no food and grass, and the result was needless to say. When Cai State "accidentally" learned the news, he naturally fought to the death. Fu Minghui had to break through in a mess under such circumstances.

But the Imperial Guard's combat capability was strong after all. Even in this situation, more than 20,000 soldiers still broke through to the border of Daxia. However, at this time, the border of Daxia was actually closed! The border generals refused to turn on and off, because they could not let Cai's army enter the country.

In this way, under the border wall of the Daxia Kingdom, Fu Minghui and the Imperial Guard were besieged by the hundreds of thousands of Cai Kingdom's miscellaneous troops. In the end, less than 3,000 people climbed up the wall and were able to escape. Twenty-seven thousand people died, but nearly 50,000 casualties were brought to the Cai Kingdom!

But the funniest thing is that the 20,000 servants sent by the eldest prince did not run away and were caught by Cai State!

"Bastard! It's so damn!" Beichen Yuqing was furious when she heard it.

Xu Ren retreated from the guards of Li's mansion, slowly turned around and looked to the west, looking at the location of Wuyang City, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, and suddenly sighed: "Daxia Kingdom, it's over! This battle will completely ruin the more than ten years of national fortune and respite that Li Yulong and the Young Master have fought for Daxia Kingdom!"

Beichen Yuqing was still trembling with anger: "He is the eldest prince, how can he do this! The country is gone, and he can only be a slave to the destruction!"

Xu Ren was not angry, but was planning seriously. Suddenly, Xu Ren actually laughed, a little coldly: "Okay, I can let go of my hands. Beichen, now you do something to let our people spread rumors in Cai State, saying that the prime minister was defeated twice because he took over the benefits of the Kong family, but was eventually used by the Kong family.

The rumors do not need to be too detailed, just a few words. Pay attention to provoking the families of the dead and injured soldiers."

"Hey, I've been preparing to do this a long time ago." Beichen Yuqing immediately turned around and left.

Xu Ren was still looking at the western sky. After a long time, he finally decided to go to Qingyun Valley in person.

Li Xian was still staying in the laboratory. After hearing that the spirit stone research has made breakthroughs, everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves. Everyone started to discuss it with one glance.

Hu Juncai, who is responsible for the smelting of black iron, is the most active: "How high is the pressure to press the spiritual energy into the spirit stone? We have measured that the atmosphere pressure here is about 100,000 Pa, which is equivalent to the pressure of a water column at a height of 10 meters.

Now, about 100 times the atmospheric pressure is required to use the device that smels of black iron. How can we try it with the device that smels of black iron first?"

"This method is good!" Everyone agreed immediately.

"But how to collect spiritual energy? The little spiritual energy gathered by the spirit gathering array is really useless!" Someone objected.

"We should build a machine that can collect and compress spiritual energy." Everyone has been trained by Li Xian. When they encounter problems, they think of inventing a machine instead of being helpless.

"But what machine should I use?" Everyone was at a loss.

Li Xian smiled and it's time for me to go on stage! "There is a machine called a compressor. Using a compressor, you can compress the gas to a liquid state. By the way, with a compressor, there are other pump machines. The structures of these machines are as follows, including axial flow, centrifugal, and piston.

By the way, if the compressor is slightly expanded, it is a centrifuge.

Probably the structure is like this, you can study it."

After Li Xian said that, he clapped his hands and left. The shopkeeper was very casual.

When Li Xianhuang arrived at the office, Fang Shijing also arrived at Li Xian and immediately prepared to hold a small technical seminar. But when everyone gathered, Xu Ren also rushed over with a serious expression: "Young master, things have changed! This is a letter sent by the master."

Li Xian rarely saw Xu Ren's face so serious and immediately opened the envelope, looking ten lines at a glance.

"How is that possible! Sir, take a look." Li Xian handed the letter to Xu Ren and Li Yulong more detailed, and even involved many secrets. For example, the border general was secretly a member of the Wang family! In other words, this defeat was not the responsibility of the eldest prince alone, but everyone dragged their backs!

"It's so wonderful!" After reading the letter, Xu Ren looked strange. The biggest reason for this defeat was not just the eldest prince. The real reason was that the dispute over the prince had entered a fierce momentum!

His Majesty the Emperor favored the young and beautiful Concubine Hua, and the alchemist Ge Zhengfeng said that the prince did not have the emperor's fate, so he wanted to make his younger son the crown prince.

The people headed by the prime minister naturally disagreed and everyone tried to protect the eldest prince. However, after such a thing happened, the eldest prince was finished. Then the prime minister and others prepared to support the second prince as the crown prince according to the rules.

What’s funny is that after Li Xian put forward the slogan of industrial and commercial development, the power of the merchants in the Daxia Kingdom was unprecedentedly powerful, so the second prince with businessman blood came from the crowd, and the limelight completely overshadowed the eldest prince.

The people are still calm, but the court is already surging. All the struggles have already surfaced, and it seems like a bloody storm.

The Great Xia Kingdom has been in turmoil and has even suffered from the biggest political turmoil in the struggle for the prince! It is no wonder that Xu Ren wants to evaluate a "really wonderful".
