The Return of the Demon

Early the next morning, Ning Chen gave the order and the army came to the city.

In Xiguan City, Xing Shan and others were shocked when they heard the news.

"It seems that Ning Chen is not just talking."

Che Mingzhe was worried.

He had been captured by Ning Chen and knew how powerful Ning Chen was.

Xing Shan originally thought that Ning Chen was just bluffing, but now he felt guilty.

Han Gaochi said: "Master Xing, when will the Tuoluo Kingdom's army arrive?"

Although Ning Chen had a full army of less than 100,000 people.

And they have an army of 150,000, but they still lack the confidence to face Ning Chen.

Tuoluo Kingdom formed an alliance with Xiliang and promised to send 100,000 troops to support.

If the Tuoluo Kingdom army can arrive in time, then they will have confidence.

Xing Shan said: "Don't panic, we should be here in a few days."

Che Mingzhe and Han Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Report...!"

The scout suddenly rushed over.

"Urgent military information, Lord Xing, the two generals... have just received news that the Wu Kingdom suddenly launched troops against the Tuoluo Kingdom, and the Tuoluo Kingdom's army cannot come to support."

The expressions of Xing Shan and the other three people changed drastically.

Xing Shan said angrily: "It seems that it is Ning Chen's plan again... Ning Chen has an extraordinary relationship with the Empress of Wu Kingdom. It seems that he knew that the Tuoluo Kingdom army would not be able to come to support, so he was so confident. "

Xing Shan's guess was correct.

The Tuoluo Kingdom formed an alliance with Xiliang, so how could Ning Chen not be on guard against the Tuoluo Kingdom's support.

Therefore, when he set out, he asked Shen Mo to inform the empress and restrain the troops of Tuoluo Kingdom.

In addition, Ning Chen also asked Liang Jingwu from Beilinguan to lead an army of 50,000 people and go straight to the royal court of Beidu in Tuoluo Kingdom.

Of course, it's not a war, it's just to contain King Zuoting's troops.

Che Mingzhe said solemnly: "This time we defeated Xiguan City, which can be regarded as revenge for Ning Chen's robbery of Wugou Ice Lotus and the attack on Linxuan City... Why don't we just accept it and make peace with him? People withdraw their troops.”

Xing Shan said angrily: "General Che, as a commander-in-chief, you are timid before fighting... Are you still worthy of being my soldier in Xiliang?"

Che Mingzhe remained silent, saying to himself that you have no idea how powerful the Ning'an Army is.

Han Gaochi hesitated for a moment and said: "The Tuoluo Kingdom cannot send troops to support. If Ning Chen really doesn't care about the lives of Daxuan people and soldiers, we will not have the advantage."

"Master Xing, our most important task this time is to rescue Fang Pu."

Xing Shan remained silent, his eyes flickering.

Che Mingzhe said: "Master Xing, I have fought against Ning Chen...His Ning'an Army are all devils crawling out of the dead. Their fighting power is extremely terrifying. If there is a fight, there will be no support from the Tuoluo Kingdom." , Our chances of winning are not great.”

Xing Shan hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then let's negotiate peace with Ning Chen!"

Han Gaochi asked: "Who should be sent?"

Unexpectedly, Che Mingzhe volunteered, "I have dealt with Ning Chen, should I go?"

Xing Shan and Han Gaochi didn't show any politeness and nodded in agreement.

Although the two armies were fighting without killing the envoys, there were still many uncertainties when going to the enemy camp to negotiate... Based on the principle of a dead Taoist friend not a poor Taoist, the two immediately nodded in agreement, fearing that Che Mingzhe would be delayed one second. Regret.

The corner of Che Mingzhe's mouth twitched, and he suddenly wanted to say something dirty... Real grandson, you don't even pretend to be polite. Even if you are pretending to be polite, you should still pretend to be polite.

He stood up and said, "Then I'll make arrangements right now!"

Xing Shan suddenly waved his hand, "Don't worry. If we go to Ning Chen for peace talks now, he will think that we are afraid of him... Didn't he say that he will attack the city in three days? Then go tomorrow."

Che Mingzhe frowned, thinking, does it make any difference sooner or later?

...

Military camp outside the city.

In the coach's tent, Duobu lay at Ning Chen's feet, constantly using his big head to Zeng Ningchen's legs, acting like a dog.

At this time, Pan Yucheng walked in, "Yuan Long and the others are here!"

"Let them in!"

After a while, Yuan Long and other generals came in, gathered together and saluted: "See you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Chen raised his hand.

His eyes fell on Yuan Long and said: "Let the Ning'an army prepare secretly to attack the city tonight."

Yuan Long leaned over and said, "I will obey your orders!"

Shi Xiuwei asked curiously: "Your Majesty, are you planning to attack the city?"

Ning Chen hummed lightly!

"But what about the soldiers and people in the city?"

Ning Chen stared at him, his eyes as sharp as knives, "Tell me what to do?"

Shi Xiuwei realized that his words made Ning Chen unhappy...his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Qi Yuanzhong quietly winked at Shi Xiuwei.

Shi Xiuwei was not stupid and said hurriedly: "I will eventually listen to the prince."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Let the Changling Army prepare secretly. As long as the Ning'an Army charges, the Changling Army will follow closely."

Shi Xiuwei said hurriedly: "I will obey your orders!"

Ning Chen looked at Qi Yuanzhong, "Brother Qi, the same goes for you, let everyone below get ready!"

"yes!"

Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's all get ready!"

Several people retreated.

After walking out of the tent, Shi Xiuwei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Seeing this, Qi Yuanzhong reminded: "The war is coming, you and I just need to act according to orders... Ning Chen's decision-making is not wrong, but you question it in public. This is taboo, and you are suspected of probing the military situation."

Shi Xiuwei smiled bitterly, "I promise I won't do it next time!"

In the camp, Ning Chen looked at Pan Yucheng, "Old Pan, you should also have a good rest, there will be a fierce battle tonight!"

Pan Yucheng nodded. He knew more than Yuan Long and others.

When they arrived at Xuantian City, the 1,000 Ning'an soldiers quietly left.

Until now, the 1,000 Ning'an soldiers have not returned to the camp... It seems that they have sneaked into Xiguan City.

In fact, when Ning Chen saw those ragged refugees, he thought of an idea.

He asked Yue Congyun to lead 1,000 Ning'an soldiers, pretending to be refugees, to come to Xiguan City to investigate the situation and wait for an opportunity to act.

There are three reasons why this task was given to Yue Congyun.

First, Yue Congyun is a stranger.

Second, Yue Congyun is from Xiguan City and is very familiar with the deployment of Xiguan City.

Third, she is a woman, which makes it easy for people to relax their vigilance.

In fact, Ning Chen guessed wrong about one thing... Yue Congyun and others did not sneak into Xiguan City, but were arrested as refugees.

......

Night fell.

Xiguan City was in ruins.

After the Xiliang army entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.

The captured 80,000 Daxuan soldiers were detained in different places, all of them were confiscated of their weapons and armor, and guarded by the Xiliang army.

As for the people in the city, Xing Shan did not order them to be detained, but let them wander around the city like lonely ghosts.

These unarmed people are no threat to them. If they are detained together, they will have to take care of their food and drink. It is better to let them roam freely and find their own food... As for whether they will starve to death, it is not within their consideration.

It was late at night, but the streets were full of people like zombies.

A team of Xiliang soldiers passed by a street.

The leader rode a tall horse. He was tall and thin, and his facial features had different ideas. In short, he looked very ugly.

This person's position in the Xiliang army is not low.

His name is Lao Xuan, Han Gaochi's deputy general, and his biggest characteristic is lust.

Lao Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the Daxuan people wandering on the street, as if looking for prey.

He met a beautiful girl from Daxuan last night, but unfortunately she ran away. He has been looking for her all day but still can't find her.

Just then, a figure hiding in the shadow of the corner saw him coming, stood up and ran...but he tripped and fell to the ground.

Lao Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at her, his eyes instantly became hot, it was the girl who ran away last night.
