Xiao Chenghao wanted to capture the thief and the king, control Long Tian, and then control the Zhenbei Army for his own use, but Long Tian would not give him this opportunity.
Even if Long Tian had many masters around him, going to King Wen's camp would be a suicidal act. Among hundreds of thousands of troops, Long Tian's safety could not be guaranteed.
"Jia Xu, are you sure King Wen is going to take action? What do you think of the envoy's situation at the moment?"
Long Tian asked.
"Your Highness, King Wen has no way out and must rebel. His biggest enemy at the moment is us. In addition, King Wen is eager to get the black iron ore, which is of great help to him. Therefore, we are his biggest enemy, there is no doubt about this."
"As for the court envoy, it is very likely that he has been secretly solved by King Wen at this moment, or controlled, and we will take action together when we arrive."
Jia Xu analyzed.
"In this case, we don't need to bother, and there is no need to play with King Wen. Let's prepare to attack King Wen's camp directly."
"As for whether the special envoy is dead or alive, it is no longer important."
Even if he doesn't die now, he will die sooner or later. This guy has already embarked on a road to death since he left Kyoto.
"Come here, reply to King Wen, this prince will be on time."
Long Tian first replied to King Wen, and then made preparations.
"Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao, the two of you lead the Zongzhou City Guards and approach the camp of King Wen secretly. After Bai Qi launches a surprise attack, immediately launch an attack."
"Chen Qingzhi, you personally lead 100,000 cavalry to block King Wen's retreat. In this battle, Xiao Chenghao must not be let go."
"Bai Qi, you lead the Tianlong Guards to approach King Wen's camp in the name of protecting me. Once you get close, immediately raid."
"The Zhenbei Army will not participate in this battle. Guard the Mangshan Black Iron Mine and no one is allowed to approach. Cao Zhengchun, you must cooperate with the Zhenbei Army. The secrets here cannot be exposed for the time being."
Long Tian made a series of decisions.
Since he guessed Xiao Chenghao's purpose, Long Tian would not take risks. He was a waste without martial arts skills, so he didn't want to show off in the army.
Long Tian was seizing the time to prepare, and Xiao Chenghao was also looking forward to it. As long as Long Tian arrived, this matter would be successful. After forcing the Zhenbei Army to retreat, he could not only get the black iron mine, but also immediately attack other cities in Zongzhou and quickly expand his forces.
As long as Long Tian is in hand, the North will not dare to attack him at will, and Xiao Chenghao also knows the situation of King Yun. With them blocking the way, the imperial court's clearing army can't come, and Xiao Chenghao can smoothly control Zongzhou.
With this as the foundation, he can slowly develop and even take over the North. With two states in hand, Xiao Chenghao is confident.
The next day, just as night fell, a cavalry appeared in the distance.
The reason why Xiao Chenghao chose to act at night was that he was afraid of being exposed. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry at night was the lowest.
In order to show respect and not arouse Long Tian's suspicion, Xiao Chenghao personally led people out to greet him. Everything in the camp was arranged, and he didn't need to worry about it.
The cavalry in the distance galloped over.
"My lord, something is wrong. The cavalry in front is in an attack formation."
Suddenly, a general under King Wen found something wrong.
Logically speaking, if they were guarding Long Tian, this group of cavalry could not run at high speed, and they did not slow down when they were almost in front of the camp. This was clearly a charge.
"Oh no, Long Tian took action first. This bastard is so brave."
"Quick, quickly notify the army to prepare for the battle."
Xiao Chenghao was not stupid. He knew that Long Tian had seen through his conspiracy, but he did not expect that Long Tian was so bold that he directly attacked the prince of Xia and the Jingbian Army under his command without solid evidence.
If this was a misjudgment, Long Tian's behavior would be tantamount to rebellion. How dare Long Tian?
Without thinking too much, Xiao Chenghao and his party hurried to the camp to notify the army to fight. Fortunately, Xiao Chenghao had no good intentions, and the army was also in a state of combat readiness at this moment, so they were not caught off guard.
They knew each other tacitly, and no one came forward to talk to them. It was a life-and-death battle.
After Bai Qi took action, Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao and others also began to act.
Although the Zongzhou City Guards suffered a lot of losses after several days of fighting, they still had more than 200,000 soldiers. Facing the King Wen's army, which was not much different in strength, they still had the strength to fight.
At the same time, after Bai Qi launched the attack, Chen Qingzhi's 100,000 white-robed soldiers also appeared. They quickly rushed through the camp, broke up the enemy's defense, and were responsible for the siege behind the enemy camp.
This battle seemed sudden, but in fact it was well prepared and must be tragic.
Long Tian did not pay attention to the battlefield, but waited for his guests in Mangshan.
Looking at the more than a hundred enemies who came unexpectedly and put themselves in the dark, Long Tian once again lamented the importance of intelligence.
The shadow hidden in the court sent intelligence that the court's secret guards had arrived in Mangshan,The purpose is naturally the secret of Mangshan.
The old emperor was eager to know what was in Mangshan, so he sent out the secret guards to investigate.
The secret guards are different from Long Tian's shadows. The shadows are just for intelligence. Even though there are many masters among them, Long Tian did not assign them other tasks.
The main responsibility of the secret guards is action. The court has another intelligence agency. The secret guards are only responsible for assassination, investigation and other tasks. Their strength is not weak.
Those who can be selected as secret guards must be masters of the eighth rank or above.
Now that the Mangshan army has left, the secret guards have an opportunity. They don't care what Long Tian sent the army to do, just complete their tasks.
Unfortunately, from the moment they arrived, they were already in Cao Zhengchun's sight.
One grandmaster, ten grandmasters, and nearly a hundred people left, all of whom are ninth-rank masters. This force is extremely powerful. This is also the reason why Long Tian did not send the Five Tiger Generals, Dian Wei, and Yuwen Chengdu when he encircled King Wen.
Just as the secret guards were on Mangshan, torches were lit around them. They knew they were exposed, so they stopped hiding and started to attack.
Their mission was to find out the secrets of Mangshan, not to kill people, so everyone showed their skills to break through the army and enter Mangshan.
"Hmph, a bunch of scoundrels, your grandfather Zhang will meet you."
"You are a bunch of traitors, now that you are here, where do you want to go?"
"Don't fight, leave a few for me, Lao Dian."
The enemy had already appeared, and the generals didn't care about anything else, and rushed up to attack, fearing that it would be too late and they would not be able to get it.
Long Tian watched quietly, and did not reveal their identities. After all, they were people from the court, and it would not be good to be too obvious. If the news got out, it would also be criticized, although Long Tian didn't care.
"Cao Zhengchun, the secret guards have appeared. I'm afraid that people from other forces will also disrupt the situation. Don't be careless. If a master appears, notify Jia Xu immediately and arrange for people to go over for support."
Mangshan is very lively now and has attracted much attention. Naturally, Long Tian must make corresponding preparations.
