"Go down with the order, prepare food and grass, make a fire to cook, and let everyone have a good night's rest."

Yun Ange ordered Qingguang and Qingyong, then turned around and invited Mo Jingning, Jin Shi and Zhuang Tianlu into her tent:

"City Lord Zhuang and the two lieutenants, as soon as they arrive at the tent, let's have a good chat and understand the situation here."

After everyone sat down, Yun Ange took out a map of the area at the junction of Qingshang City and Xixing Kingdom and placed it in the middle of the table:

"City Lord Zhuang, it has been almost half a month since we got the news and sent troops here. Has Xixing Kingdom taken any action during this period?

Also, please tell us in detail what the previous harassment in Xingguo was like."

"Is such that,"

Zhuang Tianlu also got straight to the point and said:

"Decades ago, our country, the Great Zheng Kingdom, signed a peace treaty with the Xixing Kingdom. The two countries also have friendly exchanges, and there are no restrictions on Qingshang City.

Whether it is merchants from the Xixing Kingdom who want to come over, or merchants from the Great Zheng Kingdom who want to come over, there is friendly exchanges and business is prosperous and developing.

The city gate of Qingshang City is also always open, and a large number of people in the city go to the open space outside the city gate to set up stalls.

But in the past few years, a group of thousands of cavalrymen appeared on the border of Xixing Kingdom.

They often come here to rob vendors of their goods, and even kill those who resist!

The soldiers guarding the city also started fighting with them, but this group was highly skilled in martial arts and had horses, so the guards in the city were no match for them.

At first, some of the common people continued to set up stalls outside for business, but who knew that the people in Xixing Kingdom became more serious...

After that, I reported it to the court. Previously, the commanders of nearby cities came with their troops to help, but they were unable to do anything about it.

They are really robbers, destroying lives wherever they go.

After that, I announced that the city gate from Qingshang City to Xixing Kingdom would be closed, but some people rely on the business of the two countries to make a living, so it is not a long-term solution..."

"I see."

After Yun Ange listened to it, he thought about it carefully.

Mo Jingning also said with faint anger:

"Sister Yun, these people from Xixing Kingdom must have a purpose, otherwise how could their monarch of Xixing Kingdom ignore this matter!"

Jinshi pondered for a moment and said:

"In this case, we only need to wipe out this group of people during this trip."

Dadong also looked very satisfied and said:

"That's right, we have brought fifty thousand light cavalry, plus your western garrison of Qingshang City, to deal with their mere few thousand cavalry, one person can trample them to death with one kick."

"It's not that simple."

Zhuang Tianlu sighed, frowning:

"The western garrison in Qingshang City also has more than 50,000 people. In terms of numbers, the group of people from Xixing Kingdom are no match for us.

But they won because they had fewer people and they rode good horses. They came and looted and then left, so they couldn't stop them.

Occasionally, they fight against each other, and there are a few fierce barbarians among them who are highly skilled in martial arts and cannot be defeated at all.

Moreover, we have a peace treaty with Xixing. If we take the initiative to send troops and cross the border, it will mean that we are at war with Xixing.

They also took advantage of the loopholes in this process to make us timid in doing things.

It’s so annoying!”

"That group of barbarians who come to harass me, do you know what time they usually come?"

"Also, according to what you said, many people from the Xixing Kingdom came to the stalls outside the city. Did those barbarians kill all of them? Or did they only kill people from the Zheng Kingdom?"

Zhuang Tianlu replied one by one:

"The time of day is not certain. It usually comes during the day. Barbarians generally don't kill Xixing people. The facial features of Xixing people are more three-dimensional and you can tell at a glance.

But there were a few people from Xixing who helped the stall owners from Da Zheng to resist, and they still cut them down."

Yun Ange nodded, glanced at Jin Shi and Dadong, and then smiled at Mo Jingning:

"This group of barbarians from the Xixing Kingdom dared to come to my country, the Great Zheng Kingdom, and broke the treaty between the two countries. As long as I am here, they will never come back!"

Dadong sneered disdainfully:

"Young general Yun, please don't talk nonsense. Even City Lord Zhuang can't do anything about it. How come you can't come back?"

"Listen to me..."

Yun Ange smiled confidently and informed them of his idea.

Zhuang Tianlu's eyes widened after hearing this:

"General Yun, this... is really wonderful!"

Jin Shi couldn't help but look at her a few more times. He didn't expect that this young girl's strategy was indeed surprising.

It's obvious that this person is scheming. If he wants to take the credit, he can't underestimate his opponent.

At this time, Xixing Kingdom was hundreds of miles away.

In a grassland, a tent was set up somewhere.

A tall, handsome man sits on a tall horse. His facial features are very deep, and his hair is tied into small braids with threads of different colors, giving him an exotic and handsome look.

"Chief, we have news about Lidam and the others."

A subordinate came to report with a very respectful expression:

"Li Damu and the others are stationed in the Yin Yang Mountain here. In the past, they would go down the mountain in the evening and rush back before dark."

"knew."

The man waved his hand, his light brown pupils full of interest, like a cat teasing a mouse.

Just let them dance around for a few more days, and they will soon know what hell is.

On the second day, the stalls at the gate of the city continued to set up stalls.

There are still many people from Xixing Kingdom coming to buy and sell. Since they haven't set up stalls for a long time, the situation today is also very good.

People come and go in an endless stream.

Amidst the shouts of the vendors, every business was completed quickly.

There were also many businessmen from Xixing Kingdom who came to place orders and complained:

"You guys are really out of your business. The silks I ordered a few days ago have been snatched up by people in China. They are so beautiful!

But these days, because of those troublemakers, you still don’t open the stall, and I am out of stock, which really makes my hair gray with worry!”

The hawker also replied:

"It's not easy for us. Those people are very arrogant. We can't risk our lives just to make money."

Another businessman also answered:

"By the way, hey, how can you come out to set up a stall? Didn't the city lord of Qingshang City announce that the city gates will be closed before?"

The vendor replied: "Yes, but people have to eat. We make money from trade between the two countries, and we have no income these days."

But since the city gate has been closed for so long, those people must have thought that we would never come out, so it would be okay to set up a stall for a day now and then."

The businessmen of Xixing Kingdom also suddenly realized:

"I see. Then we have to order more goods this time."

Among the bustling crowd, a man in black wearing a bamboo hat passed by, walked around the stall and then left.
