The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen said calmly: "Scrape the ground three feet."

Gao Liguo killed 60,000 soldiers of Daxuan and took away the supplies of two cities.

Scrape the ground three feet of Gaotian City, just to collect some interest first.

Feng Qizheng nodded, "Okay, I will let someone notify Qin Qiao and others.

How dare Gao Liguo? Are they so bold? How dare they touch the people and supplies of Daxuan."

Ning Chen said coldly: "People die for money and birds die for food. Thieves know that stealing is illegal and they will be imprisoned if they are caught, but they will still steal with a fluke mentality.

The same is true for Gao Liguo. Zhong Xiuwen escorted the supplies of two cities, enough to feed more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops.

From Qianfeng City to Rufeng City, taking the shortest route, it takes at least 15 days. It is conceivable that the land is No matter how big... they can find any place to bury 80,000 people underground without anyone noticing.

If it weren't for the powerful intelligence network of Taichu Pavilion, we probably wouldn't know what happened in this life? "

Feng Qizheng snorted coldly, "They are looking for death."

Ning Chen sighed and said, "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If it weren't for Xiao Xixi helping us find out, Gao Liguo would have easily obtained the supplies of the two cities."

Feng Qizheng nodded, "Okay, then I'll take people to clean up!"

Ning Chen hummed, and then asked Xiao Yanxi to go back to the tent to rest, and he continued to wait on the top of the city.

It was almost noon, and Yuan Long came.

Yuan Long was covered in blood and looked exhausted.

He fought all night, and then chased the fleeing Gao Liguo soldiers all the way.

Ning Chen said, "How is it?"

Yuan Long was full of shame and said, "I am incompetent and let Park Jiangyan escape with six or seven thousand cavalrymen.

They fled into the mountains, and the roads were complicated. I was afraid of an ambush and did not dare to pursue them deeply."

Ning Chen nodded slightly, "You did the right thing. If you are not familiar with the terrain, you must not be greedy for merit and rush forward.

As for those deserters, they are just remnants of the defeated army. It's not worth mentioning. Let them escape.

Yuan Long, lead the Ning'an Army to rest... Leave the rest to the Southern Border Army."

Yuan Long leaned over, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will take my leave!"

The Southern Border Army began to plunder the city.

It was not until the evening that they stopped.

It was not because they had plundered everything, but because they were too tired.

Ning Chen ordered to block the four city gates, and the soldiers set up pots and cook in the city and rest.

Ning Chen was exhausted by now and slept in his clothes.

The next day, early morning

After Ning Chen woke up, he ordered the army to continue looting.

At 5 p.m., the army withdrew.

The army looted for a whole day.

Gaotian City is not a rich city. After all, it is the most remote city of Gaoli Kingdom.

Qin Qiao sent a list of supplies.

Ning Chen laughed when he looked through it.

"30,000 shi of grain... How could Gaotian City have only so much grain for a garrison of 50,000 soldiers? Is there a secret granary?

Also, there are more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver treasures... When I conquered the barren land of Beidu Wangting, I looted more supplies than this."

Qin Qiao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Gaotian City is a barren border town. We only looted this much.

I have investigated. The grain and grass of Gaotian City are sent by the Gaoli Kingdom court every six months, and not too much each time... Gaotian City is far away from the capital of Gaoli Kingdom. The king of Gaoli Kingdom is afraid that the garrison here will be self-reliant, so there are many restrictions, which leads to..."

Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand... Load everything and withdraw the troops at twilight hour."

Qin Qiao leaned forward to receive the order, "I accept the order." Immediately, he withdrew.

Ning Chen led his troops out of Gaotian City at twilight hour that afternoon, and then headed straight for the southern border.

Linxuan City of Nanyue was just beside him. He was afraid that Nanyue would send troops to cut off his retreat and attack him from the front and back with Gao Liguo.

Although the commander of Jianxuan Pass of Nanyue might not have such courage, he had to be on guard... He couldn't gamble with the lives of his 70,000 soldiers.

This attack on Gaotian City was just to show his attitude... It was to tell Gao Liguo that this matter was not over.

Moreover, he had to give an explanation to the soldiers of Daxuan... Gao Liguo killed 60,000 soldiers of Daxuan. If he didn't do anything serious, it would definitely chill the hearts of other soldiers.

Now there is not enough troops, so retreat first.

Go back and mobilize 200,000 troops and attack Gao Liguo. At that time, even if Nanyue sent troops to cut off his retreat, he would not be afraid... It just happened that by then, he would deal with Nanyue and Gao Liguo together.

Fifteen days later, Ning Chen led his army back to the southern border safely.

Returning to the border, Ning Chen was depressed that day.

Because he planned to mobilize 200,000 soldiers, but after calculating, he found that he had no soldiers to mobilize, and he could not gather 200,000 soldiers no matter how he calculated.

Daxuan did have many soldiers and generals, but the territory was also large, and the soldiers were almost all assigned to their own positions. Everyone was burdened with heavy responsibilities and could not get away.

After a night of careful consideration, Ning Chen decided to return to Beijing first.

After returning to Beijing, he went directly to meet up with Pan Yucheng.

First attack Xiangzhou and recover the eastern border... Then there will be soldiers, and Gaoliguo and Nanyue can be dealt with.

Ning Chen led the Ning'an Army and 20,000 southern border troops to Yangzhou... escorting supplies and rushing to the capital.

When Ning Chen was halfway, the royal family of Gaoliguo also received the news that Gaotiancheng had been breached.

In the court of Gaoliguo.

The king of Gaoli is in his fifties, thin, with no flesh on his cheeks, cold eyes and too thin lips, making him look a little mean.

The court of Gaoli is completely different from that of Daxuan.

They pay attention to kneeling.

The king of Gaoli sits behind a low table.

The civil and military ministers are on both sides, but they are not standing, but kneeling... Each person has a dedicated cushion, showing a kneeling posture.

In the hall, the atmosphere is depressing, and everyone's face is solemn.

"Who, who did it? Idiot, a big idiot... Is this going to kill the entire Gaoli Kingdom?"

Gaoli Crown Prince Jin Dongxing, who seems to be gentle and speaks softly... But at this time, he is like an irritable beast, roaring constantly, and is completely different from usual.

It's not his fault. Just now, he received news that Ning Chen led his army to break through Gaotian City.

Of the 50,000 garrison troops, only Park Jiangyan escaped with more than 6,000 cavalrymen... The rest of the 40,000 Gaoli soldiers were all slaughtered by Ning Chen, leaving no one alive.

The reason was that someone killed 60,000 Daxuan soldiers for supplies.

"Stupid, stupid... Why did you mess with Ning Chen when you can mess with anyone else? Is he easy to mess with? I spent so much effort to get along with Ning Chen, but now it's all over.

Who did this? Who was as stupid as a pig?

You said you wanted to rob supplies, so you robbed them, but why did you kill everyone... Well, you can kill them, but you should do it cleanly."

Jin Dongxing didn't care about the rules and manners at all at this time, and was furious... When his eyes touched the third prince Jin Tiancheng on the side, he strode over.
