Two days ago, dingguan city had entered a state of high alert. Merchants from both countries were prohibited from entering and leaving, as well as civilians. The Army in the city patrolled all night long, and Scouts outside the city kept sending back secret letters.
The great Feng Army is here!
The northeast border had been stable for so many years, and the war was finally about to restart.
Vulture black was dressed in bright armor, with a scimitar at his waist. Surrounded by his Deputy general and other subordinates, he climbed up the top of dingguan city to a plain far away.
He was the commander of ding Guan city’s Army, the highest leader of the military.
The sun had just risen, and it was autumn. The Green Mountain top had a touch of dim yellow.
everyone says that Wei Yuan is the great military God. This general has always wanted to know if that Wei Yuan will be able to take down the Yan country’s impregnable ding Guan city. Vulture black said indifferently.
He was part of the youth faction in the fire country’s Army. During the Battle of Shanhai Pass, he was only a low-ranking officer, responsible for guarding the country’s land.
He had heard of Wei Yuan for a long time.
“There’s no one who can defeat Wei Yuan on the battlefield. Even Xiahou Yushu, in my opinion, is much weaker than Wei Yuan.” The bearded Deputy general sighed and then sneered, ‘
however, the battle between two armies and the attack and defense of a city are two different things. General, if you can defeat Wei Yuan in dingguan city, you will become a powerful figure in Jiuzhou.
Since ancient times, Wars were difficult, and attacking a city was the most difficult. It often required ten times, or even more than ten times the number of soldiers. If they were to encounter a city with a geographical advantage .. Even the most powerful general would have a headache and shrink back. If they were to force their way through, they could even reverse the outcome of the war.
There were many similar examples in history.
Tuwohei laughed and slowly said, “Don’t be careless.”
His heart was burning. He wasn’t confident that he could win against Wei Yuan in a battle between two armies, but defending the city was his strength. Otherwise, he would not have been so heavily relied on by fiery King and become the commander of the border.
To the left of dingguan city was a big River and to the right was a steep mountain. It was impregnable. In order to enhance the geographical advantage, Vulture and black sent people into the mountains to chisel stones. It took two years. Other than the main road of the Army, the two sides of the city wall were craggy with stones.
Siege vehicles and ladders could not get close, and if they tried to clean it up, they would be live targets.
“Argh .
A deep roar came from the distant sky, and the generals and soldiers on the city wall immediately recognized it as the howl of a Jackal.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a black shadow flew over from the distance and gradually became clear. It was a servant of a leopard.
The dog-headed and rat-tailed flying beast landed on the spacious horse track. It folded its wings and fixed its Scarlet eyes ahead like a human soldier standing guard.
The Jackal was wrapped in a sturdy leather cover that was connected to the
Scout on its back. The Scout unbuckled the ‘safety belt’ on its thigh and waist and jumped down from the bird’s back. He hurriedly ran to the black vulture and cupped his fists.
“Great general, great Feng’s Army is only twenty li away from ding Guan city.” The faces of the people on the city wall immediately turned serious.
Tuwohei pondered for a moment and said,”send me a letter.”l am the General of ding Guan city, tuwohei. I have long heard of your great name, but in my eyes, you are just a eunuch who deceives the world and steals his reputation
The aide quickly spread out his paper, brush, and ink, and began to write.
There was nothing else in Vulture’s Black hand-written letter. It was filled with insults at Wei Yuan, saying that it was luck that he won the Shanhai Pass battle, saying that he cheated the world to gain fame, saying that he was a eunuch, and even his ancestors were included in the insults.
No matter how ugly or vicious the words were, they could be cursed or written.
In the end, he proposed to compete with Wei Yuan and defeat the God of War Da Feng.lf you have the guts, come up.
The aide finished writing and blew dry the ink. He smiled and said,”General, are you trying to anger Wei Yuan?”
“It’s only one of my goals,” Vulture hei nodded.
“Is there any other purpose?” the aide asked humbly.
“I just want to insult this eunuch,” the black vulture sneered arrogantly.
There was a burst of laughter on the top of the city wall, and the serious atmosphere faded a lot.
with Wei Yuan’s level, ” Vulture hei continued, ” I’m afraid he won’t be so easily angered. That’s why we’ll curse him every fifteen minutes. Let’s curse together.
The more people, the more words.”
“It’s a pleasure to be able to humiliate the great God of War,” the Deputy general laughed.
The laughter from the top of the city wall grew louder.
Beijing.
In the East Palace, Lin an was playing Gomoku with her brother, the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was a little impatient, but he endured his temper to accompany her. There was almost no brother who wouldn’t dote on a beautiful sister who loved to act coquettishly.
“I’m not playing anymore,. ‘m not playing anymore …”
Lin ‘an threw away the chess piece in a Huff and complained with his cheeks puffed up, “”l’m absent-minded. Brother Crown Prince doesn’t want to accompany me at all.”
Was the conversation not as sweet anymore, or was the shuttlecock not fun anymore, or was huaiqing not annoying enough recently? The Crown Prince muttered in his heart and helplessly said,
“Lin an, bengong is busy with matters, where would I have the time to accompany you to play this kind of boring little game.”
Lin ‘an frowned. what’s the point of letting the servants play with me? I want to play with brother Crown Prince.
How could playing with the palace maids and eunuchs compare to the company of relatives?
When Lin ‘an was young, she was the crown prince’s shadow. She wore a small skirt and was short. Wherever the Crown Prince went, she would follow. When she was older, she was incited by concubine Chen to cause trouble for huaiqing.
At this moment, the eunuch walked to the door with small steps and said in a soft voice, “”Your Highness, Princess huaiqing is here.”
The brother and sister looked at each other, and the Crown Prince muttered,
“”What is she doing in the eastern Palace?”
He immediately had the Crown Prince lead huaiqing in. After a while, huaiqing, who was dressed in a plain Palace dress and had beautiful facial features, steDDed through the threshold. He bowed to the Crown Prince and then
glanced at Lin ‘an.
“Huaiqing, why are you looking for bengong?”
The Crown Prince asked in a lukewarm tone.
“I heard that the Crown Prince has the painting Saint Yan’s” autumn hunt painting.”With the autumn hunt coming up, I suddenly have an interest in it and want to bring it back to copy.”
“I’ll send someone to deliver it to you later,” the Crown Prince said after a moment of hesitation.
Although everyone’s mothers were having a heated argument in the harem, they still had to maintain their fake sibling relationship.
The autumn hunt is coming … Ming Miao’s eyes lit up and he said happily, “Brother Crown Prince, let’s go hunting in the southern courtyard.”
When the Crown Prince heard this, he frowned and shook his head. “Why are you going to the southern courtyard for no reason? it’s a long journey.”
The mounted man kept twisting his waist and said coquettishly, “It’s not far at all, not far at all. We can just ride a horse. Brother Crown Prince, please take me there.”
The Crown Prince couldn’t stand her, but he also liked her the most, just like Emperor Yuan jing. alright, alright, alright, ” he said helplessly. I’ll make some arrangements today. I’ll go tomorrow morning.
He still had things to do, so he took the opportunity to send Lin ‘an and huaiqing away.
The autumn hunt was a grand event. Ever since Emperor Yuan jing became engrossed in cultivation, he rarely held an autumn hunt. In the past, the princes and princesses would go to the southern courtyard to hunt on their own, and they only needed to report.
To Lin ‘an, hunting was the happiest thing, it had nothing to do with whether she could draw the bow or not.
For example, in Xu Qi ‘an’s previous life, some girls were addicted to playing games, but this had nothing to do with their noobs.
After Lin ‘an returned to the residence, a little palace maid immediately came forward to report, ‘”Your Highness, Princess huaiqing came to see you just now.”
Huaiqing is looking for me? Then why didn’t she say a word to me in the eastern Palace? Lin ‘an blinked his eyes and made a dazed expression.
Aiya, I don’t care anymore. I’ll read the story book first. Tomorrow, I’ll go hunting in the southern courtyard .
Late at night.
Xu Qi ‘an, who was sleeping, felt as if someone had knocked on his head. This was a feedback from his primordial spirit, not his head.
The only thing in the room that could knock his head was a man and a knife. Zhong Li usually called him softly with her legs.
If it was the peace saber, it would be using the blade to stab him, and it would not be so gentle.
Someone sent me. private message regarding the feedback at the primordial spirit level … Xu Qi ‘an squinted his eyes and took out the fragment of The Earth Book. Then, he knew who had sent him a private message.
Number one, huaiqing.
After accepting huaiqing’s private message request, he sent a message:[ why are you sending me a letter in the middle of the night? don’t you have a sexual life? ]
[ PS: sorry, I’m late. I’m very ashamed and guilty for delaying the update. I’ll write another big chapter tomorrow morning to make it up to you.. ]
