A battle report was urgently sent to the general's mansion when the war in the north was raging.

The scout who delivered the battle report was kneeling on the ground. One of his arms had already been broken. This shows how difficult this journey was.

"General, Gufengkou...has been lost!"

The scout's eyes were full of blood and tears, and he said in pain: "General Zhao Dezhi and deputy general Xue Wanxian were both killed in battle!"

"Mr. Dong, Mr. Lu, die in battle!"

"Master Dean, Liu Jianxian and others will all die in battle!"

"The high priest of the demon tribe also died at Gufengkou!"

Every time the scout spoke, the current general Ning Ping was shocked, and the hearts of the other generals present sank.

When the demon clan high priest died in the final battle, it was also very exciting.

They probably never thought before the war that in the end the demon clan actually chose to open a gap from Gufengkou and began to encroach on the northern line of the Great Wall.

What is even more unimaginable is that the Demon Emperor not only did not appear in the General's Mansion, but also appeared in Gufengkou.

This number one person in the world was already difficult to match, and the entire human race could not find anyone to fight with him. However, such an almost invincible person actually chose to act like this.

This is hard to guard against.

"It seems that the red-sleeved demon king is really capable. Even though he is quite capable of marching and fighting, he can actually persuade the demon emperor to act like this."

Ning Ping smoothed his messy hair. Thanks to the temporary retreat of the demon army outside the General's Mansion, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit here and talk about the military situation.

But this was obviously the Red Sleeve Demon Lord’s intention.

Now that Gufengkou has been lost, as long as the demon tribe holds on to the pass, continues to advance, and expands its lead, then soon, the Great Wall of the North will be officially declared to have been lost.

Daliang and even the entire human race's northern defense line were completely gone.

"General Xie, look..."

Ning Ping glanced at Xie Nandu, who was not far away, and sighed. This female general was a little frustrated at the moment. It was obviously not just because she was at a disadvantage in the previous fight with the Red Sleeve Demon Lord. In addition to her senior brother Banbi, there is also Mr. Dean. But in fact, no one can figure this out. The person the Red Sleeve Demon Lord cares about most is the demon clan high priest, but he can still decisively use him as bait and abandon him.

In fact, what Xie Nandu thought was fine. If there was a chance to kill the high priest, the morale would undoubtedly be greatly improved. Even if not, sending out two Fuyuns could stabilize the defense line of Gufengkou.

After all, her judgment at that time was that the General's Mansion would not be a place where the demon clan would really attack with all its strength.

From this point of view, she was not wrong. The only thing she did not expect was that the Demon Emperor would appear at Gufengkou.

After calming down for a moment, Xie Nandu took a breath, came to the map, and said: "After capturing Gufengkou, the demon tribe stagnated. In fact, they just wanted to wait."

Ning Ping frowned slightly and said with a wry smile: "Since Gufengkou has been captured, it will have a huge impact on the imperial court, Fang Wai, and the entire world. The imperial court will be shaken, and Fang Wai will be suspicious. As time goes by, the morale of the army will be lost, and the monks will feel that there is no hope. "

The fall of a Gufengkou does not mean that the Great Wall of the North has fallen, but it is indeed something that has never happened before. Therefore, as long as the news spreads, everyone in the country will think about these things, and the people will be worried. , maybe they will put pressure on the imperial court to sue for peace, and the officials in the imperial court may also ask the prince to sue for peace.

As for the monks outside the country, they lacked confidence. Now, the monks who thought about coming may not come, and the monks in the north may also have to leave.

The reason why the demon tribe is temporarily suspending the war is because they are waiting for these things to happen. After they happen, whether they agree to the human race's request for peace or go south again, they will consume much less.

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord is indeed the demon who understands the human race best, and her understanding of human hearts is no weaker than that of the human race itself.

"We must regain Gufengkou as soon as possible."

Ningping pointed at Gufengkou. The war has developed so far. Although the pass has been lost, the situation is not irreversible. It is necessary to recover the pass quickly to avoid the war from deteriorating.

But after Ning Ping said these words, the generals in the General's Mansion were speechless. At this moment, the fighting in the General's Mansion had stopped, but the demon army was still outside the city, and there was even more fighting on the Moon Watching Platform. It hasn't stopped till now.

The most critical thing is that these are the only troops in the northern border. The General's Mansion cannot move, and they are also stretched.

"Otherwise, we can transfer some people from Ningguan and Yunzhongshan."

Ning Ping looked at Xie Nandu with questioning eyes, and Xie Nandu just said: "When the time comes, those two places will be empty and will be lost again. However, it would be okay if we regain the Gufengkou in exchange for the loss of those two places. But what if it cannot be done? ?”

If it fails, then two more passes will be lost.

"Besides, the most important thing now is probably not the number of soldiers, but something else."

Xie Nandu didn't make it clear what the other thing was, but all the generals present knew that it was how the number of Fuyun experts solved the Demon Emperor.

If the balance of power cannot be achieved in terms of the number of Fuyun experts, then no matter how the northern border is arranged, the final result will not be very good.

Everyone knows this.

Ning Ping was speechless.

"But Gufengkou should be recovered as soon as possible, otherwise there will be great trouble."

Xie Nandu stared at the map, pointed at that place, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Also, General, should the military report be sent to the Divine Capital now?"

According to convention, the military report from the northern border should always be sent to the Divine Capital as soon as possible. Although the General's Mansion has the right to command the battle, the Divine Capital also has the right to know.

However, in the current situation, sending the military report to the Divine Capital will definitely cause unrest, and the matter will be very serious.

People are panicking, and the political situation is turbulent.

"Even if the military report is not sent back to the Divine Capital, the demon clan in Daliang has the means to spread it out. There is no need to hide such things."

Outside the hall, Chen Chao walked in, looking tired.

Before, outside the General's Mansion, Chen Chao and Zhuori fought for a long time. Although he was not injured, he was dragged by the Fuyun demon and could not leave the battlefield.

That is to say, the demon clan's goal was not the General's Mansion at that time, otherwise I am afraid that the current situation of the General's Mansion would not be like this.

Of course, this has always been the result of the game between the two sides. After all, the Red Sleeve Demon King is also worried about whether the General's Mansion has a backup plan.

Ning Ping looked at Chen Chao, "But such a thing will definitely be very troublesome after it is reported back."

If it is His Majesty who is in charge of the Divine Capital, it is nothing. His Majesty will definitely be able to suppress such a thing, but the problem is that it is not His Majesty who is there, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although they all have the same blood, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor are always different.

Two people... have always been different.

"The ministers in the court will definitely have extremely big disagreements, and the pressure will be great. I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can withstand it."

Ning Ping sighed. They were fighting in the north, and they could only take care of the things in the north, but they were often powerless to deal with the things in the south.

Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao, thought for a moment and said, "You have to go."

"But now the North can't do without you."

This is a very contradictory sentence.

Now, no matter who these people in the north are, if they return to the south, it will not have any effect, because they have no prestige in the south and have no influence in the court.

As for Chen Chao, although he may not have a positive prestige in the court, in the hearts of the people, this young garrison commander is very trustworthy.

In any case, Chen Chao is the most suitable candidate.

But as Xie Nandu said, the current northern border is already at a disadvantage. Once Chen Chao leaves, once the demon tribe finds out that Chen Chao has left, this matter will be very troublesome.

Chen Chao looked at the map and said, "I'm going to Gufengkou. The demon emperor can't stay there forever."

"No."

Xie Nandu stared at Chen Chao, "They may have set an ambush for you at Gufengkou."

There is no doubt that if Chen Chao is gone from the northern border now, then the whole game of chess, Daliang will be defeated.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "If there is a big pocket over there, I will open it."
