I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 452: Five Days Later

Two days later, the seventh day of October.

Surrounding Guanghan County, the intermittent siege battle has lasted for two days, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties.

Judging from the current situation, although Guanghan City has not yet been broken, the Shu army is obviously in a "weak position", and it is estimated that it will not be able to hold on for too long.

Such a situation certainly boosted the morale of the imperial army, and they seemed to be more brave every time they attacked the city.

For Wei Changtian, Liang Zhen and others, the development of the current war is actually entirely within their design.

According to the plan, the Shu army will abandon the city and break through the siege five days after the start of the war.

It has been two days now, and it shouldn't be a big problem to persist for the remaining three days.

Although the five-day "head-to-head confrontation" was a bit of a disadvantage to the Shu army, "showing the enemy's weakness" is the prerequisite for the smooth implementation of the entire plan, so temporary sacrifices are inevitable.

Knowing this, Wei Changtian is not too worried about the situation in Shuzhou right now.

On the contrary, it was the situation on Fengyuan's side that made him quite worried.

Judging from the information sent back in the past two days, Wu Ding has been standing still since he retreated three miles, as if he was really frightened by those seven second rank masters.

But Wei Changtian understood that this must be what Ning Yongnian meant.

Then the problem comes.

Knowing that the enemy has strong reinforcements, why didn't Ning Yongnian respond?

Under normal circumstances, reinforcements shouldn't come immediately, right?

Even sending a few second-rank masters like Li Huaizhong over could even out the gap in top combat power.

It is absolutely impossible for Ning Yongnian to give up Dafeng, the fat that has already reached his lips, so he will never cease fighting.

And since there was no fighting and no reinforcements, it could only mean that Ning Yongnian knew about what happened in Dafeng Palace two days ago.

At that time, there were so many court officials present, and it was normal for Daning to work carefully among them.

That's why Ning Yongnian decided to wait two more days, preparing to make further responses based on the next move of the seven second rank masters.

If the seven really took Li Parasol Tree away, then Daning ordered to continue the attack immediately.

And if the seven don't leave

In fact, Wei Changtian had already communicated with Remnant Soul yesterday, asking if the latter could let the seven masters stay in Fengyuan for a while longer.

The remnant soul didn't say no, but Wei Changtian understood that there was no point in doing so.

Because even if those seven people don't leave, the situation of the Fengyuan war will not change in any way.

Even if this led to Ning Yongnian really sending experts to reinforce him, it would make Dafeng lose even faster.

For example, these seven people are now like nuclear bombs that cannot be launched.

There may still be a deterrent effect for a day or two, but after a long time when the enemy finds out the details, they will no longer have any effect.

Dae Bong will still lose, and at that time, even Lee Parasol Tree may not be able to leave.

No matter how powerful the seven second ranks are, they cannot be worth hundreds of thousands of troops, so the best way is to let the seven people quickly bring Li Parasol Tree back while Dafeng still has the strength to fight.

Remnant Soul's analysis was well-founded, and Wei Changtian agreed with it after hearing it.

However, he still let the remnant soul send an order to the seven people to stay in Dafeng for three more days.

From waiting two days to waiting five days.

Of course, Wei Changtian had a reason for doing this.

Because he is still waiting for the result of another matter.

On the tenth day of October, the fifth day after the war in Shuzhou.

At noon, with the sound of gongs, another round of siege ended.

The black smoke billowed, and the sky could not be seen.

They fought day and night for five consecutive days. At this time, Guanghan County can already be called ruins.

The losses of the Shu army have already exceeded 10,000 people. If you add those who were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting, there are less than 40,000 people left in the entire Shu army who can still go to the battlefield.

Less than 40,000, compared to nearly 300,000.

When the gap in combat power on the surface was further widened, the atmosphere of cowardice gradually began to spread among the Shu army.

After all, in order to keep it secret, most people don't know the overall battle plan, and only feel that it is impossible for their side to have the slightest chance of winning at the moment.

If the fight continues according to the posture, it is estimated that Guanghan City will be breached within two days.

But fortunately today is the fifth day. According to the plan, the Shu army can break through and retreat to Niutoushan tonight.

As for the low morale, it's not a big problem.

Different from defending the city, the breakout battle directly determines the life and death of everyone.

In a last stand, no one would dare to stay strong.

What's more, Han Zhao has already left a back door for them

"."

"Come on! Pass on the generals of the various ministries to come see me!"

In the meeting hall, Liang Zhen gave the order with a serious face, preparing to start planning tonight's breakout.

The messenger responded and immediately turned around and ran away, just passing by Chu Xianping who was about to come in.

"General Liang."

Leaving aside the messenger, Chu Xianping quickly approached the meeting hall.

He nodded at Liang Zhen first, then walked to Wei Changtian's side, Fu Er whispered:

"The Freemasons have arrived in Fengyuan."

Fengyuan, Dafeng Palace.

"Senior, since you have stayed in Fengyuan for another three days, you must have received the order from Mr. Wei."

"Can you give him a word for me? Just one word."

In the Princess Palace, Li Parasol Tree looked at the gray-robed old man on the opposite side with an extremely haggard face.

In the past five days, she has never closed her eyes, and has been waiting for Wei Changtian to contact her.

But until now, no news has been sent to her.

However, those seven second rank masters suddenly changed their minds and extended the original two-day period to five days.

Li Parasol Tree knew that this must be what Wei Changtian meant, and guessed from this that the latter must have known what happened before.

But, why Wei Changtian knew everything, but he didn't want to explain it clearly to himself, and didn't even bring himself a word?

Li Parasol Tree couldn't figure it out, so he could only beg the old man in gray robe to bring a message to Wei Changtian.

But she didn't know at all that the other party didn't have the ability to contact Wei Changtian directly.

"Princess, I have already said this."

Shaking his head, the gray-robed old man said helplessly: "It is indeed Mr. Wei's intention to wait for three more days, but it is true that the old man cannot send the letter to him."

"Yes, but."

Li Parasol Tree's shoulders trembled, biting his lip and wanting to say something.

But at this moment, Zhu Tianhong suddenly walked in from outside the hall.

"Princess, someone wants to see you and claims to be from Shuzhou."

"Shuzhou?"

Li Parasol Tree stood up instantly: "Who is it?"

"He didn't say anything, he just said that you will meet him after you see this thing, princess."

While speaking, Zhu Tianhong reached out and handed a sachet to Li Parasol Tree.

The latter just glanced at the sachet, and his whole body froze instantly as if struck by lightning.

She is very familiar with this thing, it was the token she embroidered for Wei Changtian back then.

Tears welled up in an instant, and her voice became hurried and trembling.

"Then, where is that man?"

"It's just outside the hall."

Before Zhu Tianhong could finish his sentence, he saw that Li Parasol Tree had already picked up his skirt and ran towards the gate of the palace recklessly.

However, when a man's back appeared in the field of vision, she immediately stopped in place.

Even if it's just a back view, Li Parasol Tree can tell that this person is not Wei Changtian.

"."

"Who are you?"

After a few breaths, the chest, which had been heaving violently, finally gradually regained its stability.

Li Parasol Tree walked up to the man again, and asked a little coldly, "Why do you have this sachet?"

"Back to the princess, the villain is Mr. Wei's subordinate."

The man should have seen the portrait of Li Parasol Tree a long time ago, so he answered very simply at this time.

He arched his cupped hands lightly, and after briefly declaring his family name, he directly stated his intention of coming.

"Young master ordered the villain to come to Fengyuan to meet the emperor."
