Everyone was a little surprised that Gongsun Ao knew Liu Tan was back so quickly and sent someone over.

What kind of speed is this?Or did he directly send many scouts to monitor Liu Tan's movements?

Otherwise, how could it be possible to get the news so quickly?You must know that Liu Tan brought Huo Guang light car back from Jane, except for the guards, he didn't bring anything else, and the rest were still on the way.

Gongsun Ao was able to locate Liu Tan so accurately, it probably took a lot of effort.

Liu Tan turned to Li Buyan and said, "Go out and meet him, and ask General Gongsun what he wants to do."

Huo Guang said angrily at the side: "Gongsun Ao is too arrogant, he just sent a soldier over."

What is the King of the North? Can anyone see it?Gongsun Ao came here by himself.

Instead, Liu Tan comforted Huo Guang: "What are you doing to be angry about such a person? It's not worth it."

Huo Guang paused, and Jiang Chong was already looking at Liu Tan in horror.

With this tone, it feels like Liu Tan is talking about the death of one person!

Not long after, Li Buyan walked in and said, "Your Highness, this person is ordered by General Gongsun to take His Highness to the Surrendered City."

Jiang Chong was very nervous immediately: "What are you doing in the surrendered city?"

Li Buyi said angrily: "He said that General Gongsun ordered that Shuofang City has been destroyed, and it is no longer safe for His Highness to stay in Shuofang City. It would be safer to go to Shoujiang City."

Huo Guang said coldly: "Without Shuofang City, there are other cities, and the northern border country also has inland cities. The surrendered city goes deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu. What is Gongsun Ao's intention?"

Liu Tan was very calm: "Just reply in Huo Xianghua's words, and remember to add the last sentence."

Li Buyan immediately took the order and left, Liu Tan narrowed his eyes and said suddenly: "I am now... I really feel sorry for my prince brother."

Both Huo Guang and Jiang Chong looked at him suspiciously, but Liu Tan didn't explain.

How to explain it?

It's really miserable for Liu Zheng. He was very strong at first. Although his mother is not favored, there are still uncles and cousins. Those are the double walls of the empire.

As a result, the double walls of the empire disappeared early, and the rest were all dragged down by Gongsun Ao. If he is not miserable, who is miserable?

This is also what Huo Guang said reminded him, why did Gongsun Ao let him go to Shoujiang City?Didn't Gongsun Ao know the danger of being surrendered to the city?

Or Gongsun Ao was aware of the danger of the surrendered city, so he asked Liu to talk about it, so that whatever happened to Liu's talk could be pushed to the Xiongnu.

Gongsun Ao may have done this because he felt that Liu Tan was a threat to the prince, so he wanted to get rid of Liu Tan without anyone noticing.

It's a pity that he thinks that Unknowingly is different from other people.

Thinking about it this way, when the Huns went south, the surrendered city was unscathed, and half of Shuofang City was lost, so he could understand it.

After Liu Tan left, Huo Guang and Jiang Chong also looked at each other. Both of them had some guesses, and finally Huo Guang sighed and said: "Tingwei should also rest first, tomorrow...may be very tired."

Of course he was tired, the first thing Liu Tan did when he returned to Shuofang City was to see how the city was destroyed.

When he passed by the refugee camp outside, he found that the mood of the people was quite stable. Liu Tan was a little surprised: "They...what's the matter? They don't cry or make trouble."

Jiang Chong said: "Your Highness doesn't know something, they are... well, they are all used to it."

"Habit?"

Jiang Chong nodded sadly: "Yes, before the Shoujiang City was built, Shuofang City faced the attack of the Huns, and was plundered by the Huns basically every year, so... this time is at least much better than before, and not many died under the hands of the Huns. .”

Not even many soldiers guarding the city died, let alone these common people.

Jiang Chong knew Liu Tan's temper, so he would rather not have Shuofang City and protect these people. If the city is still there but everyone is dead, Liu Tan will definitely punish him.

After hearing this, Liu Tan went into the city in silence.

At this time, the south gate of Shuofang City is actually intact, but after entering the city, one can see that the north gate has been damaged. Not only that, the houses in the north have collapsed and even have traces of being burned.

Liu Tan asked, "Has the statistics been lost?"

Jiang Chong smiled wryly: "This... there are not many records in the first place, and the statistics are also..."

Liu Tan sighed and said, "Try to make statistics, have all the documents been rescued?"

Jiang Chong immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, those are the first to be transported away, and they are already hidden in the mine."

Liu Tan asked after hearing the word mine: "Is the mine all right?"

Jiang Chong nodded: "The mines are all intact. The Xiongnu also went there, but left without finding the direction."

Liu Tan glanced at the ruined half of the county mansion and said, "Where do you live these days?"

Even if half of the city is not destroyed, the city is no longer fit for survival.

Jiang Chong said: "Just camping outside, but part of His Highness's palace has already been built. If His Highness doesn't mind, you can live in the palace first."

Liu Tan suddenly asked: "Did the palace stop working?"

Jiang Chong said cautiously: "I didn't dare to let them stop working. There are many civilians who are the people of Shuofang City. If they stop, I'm afraid they will not be able to survive."

Liu Tan said with a headache: "Go back and count the number of people first, and then see how to arrange it."

Huo Guang suddenly asked: "Your Highness, do you want to build the king's capital in another place?"

This place is too dangerous.

Liu Tan casually said, "What for? It's good here, I'll just wait for the Huns, next time I'll let them come and go!"

When he said this, Jiang Chong and Huo Guang felt relieved, because Liu Tan didn't intend to rush directly to fight the Huns.

You must know that Che Shi, Hu Hu, and Jie Guo sent soldiers pretending to be horse bandits to intercept him back then, but he led people to beat him back then.

Liu Tan's temper looks soft and gentle, but if he really turned his back on him, he would really fight to the death with others.

It's okay, he's still rational this time, everyone is very angry when the Xiongnu went south, but there's no way, now is not the time to fight, and the people in Shuofang City are already used to it?

Liu Tan glanced at Jiang Chong and Huo Guang and said nothing, waiting for the Huns to come next time?Did he shrink back after being beaten?

It's just that before that, he has to stabilize the two generals under him, and at the same time, he must also stabilize Gongsun Ao. First, he has to deal with Gongsun Ao before talking about other things.

Otherwise, he would fight the Xiongnu to death, and Gongsun Ao would hold him back, even if he stabbed Gongsun Ao, he would not be relieved.

Before leaving Shuofang City, Liu Tan looked back at Shuofang City and suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, I was still worrying about how to dismantle it, but now it's easy."
