Chapter 102: Someone wants to assassinate the general? Bai Xianxian arrives at Chongli Mansion
The moon is bright and high in the sky.
The cold moonlight made the night seem especially quiet, but the Chongli Mansion was brightly lit and full of noise, just like daytime.
Today's battle was a great victory.
He defeated the King of Jin.
While killing more than ten thousand people in the formation, it made it difficult for them to cross the line even a single step.
However, the defenders of Chongli Prefecture also suffered casualties, with more than a thousand deaths, more than three thousand seriously injured, and more than eight thousand slightly injured.
Such casualties compared to the army of King Jin.
It deserves to be a big victory.
But Ning He did not relax after the battle, but immediately began to make intensive preparations for the next battle.
The Chinese military tent.
Ning He was still wearing the blood-stained armor he had worn during the day, and he had not taken it off. The strong and sickening smell of blood filled the entire tent.
Many generals were present in the tent.
After today's battle, the way these generals looked at Ning He changed.
There seemed to be a hint of reverence in his expression.
Although there is a battle today.
Ning He did not give any command, but instead handed over the command of defending the city to Zhou Yan.
But they saw it with their own eyes.
Ning He personally led more than 30 red-armored soldiers, stood in front of the ladder truck, blocked the enemy's attacks again and again, and killed off wave after wave of enemy troops.
without any exaggeration.
Many generals in the army now have fought for more than ten years, but they have not killed as many people as Ning He did today. How can they not respect him?
Upper position.
Under the watchful eyes of the generals.
Ning He frowned and spoke slowly: "Everyone, in today's battle, although we have defeated the King of Jin and forced him to retreat, we must not be arrogant and complacent. I believe you all understand that arrogant soldiers will be defeated."
As he said this, Ning He nodded to the generals.
Looked at Zhou Yan.
Then he asked, "Deputy General Zhou, has the King of Jin taken any unusual actions since he withdrew his troops?"
When the King of Jin retreated.
Ning He asked Zhou Yan to send out another group of scouts to keep a close eye on Prince Jin's camp.
"Return to the general."
Zhou Yan reported back, "There has been no obvious movement since the King of Jin withdrew his troops. In the main camp, except for the troops patrolling the camp, most of the other soldiers are treating the wounded and cooking."
"Keep watching." Ning He nodded and instructed, "Report immediately if you find anything unusual."
"Here."
After Zhou Yan received the order.
Ning He looked at Ning Yan again and asked, "Did the Jinyiwei find anything?"
Ning Yan said: "General, we haven't found anything yet."
"Tell the Jinyiwei not to come back for the time being and just keep an eye on that position. We'd rather make a wrong estimate than allow the Prince of Jin to divide his troops and attack Wuwei Prefecture." Ning He finished speaking and asked the former, "Have you sent the secret letter to His Majesty?"
"It was sent out the day before yesterday. I think it will be delivered to Chang'an tomorrow night at the latest for Your Majesty to review."
Ning Yan's answer made Ning He feel a little relieved.
After all, the issue of food, fodder and military equipment is of great importance.
As long as the letter is sent, His Majesty will find a way no matter what the situation in the court is.
Transport a batch of food, fodder and weapons over.
There is no doubt about this.
If not necessary.
Your Majesty will not give up Chongli Prefecture. As long as she can defend it, he will let her continue to defend it.
Next, Ning He gave instructions for some trivial matters.
Only then were the generals dismissed.
But there was no time to take off the armor.
A voice reported from outside the tent: "General, there is a woman outside the military camp, claiming to be the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei and a disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect. She came here on the orders of His Majesty and requested to see you."
"Hmm?" Ning He frowned slightly when he heard that.
He asked with some surprise, "Why did your majesty ask the people from the Qingyuan Sword Sect to come here?"
About the Qingyuan Sword Sect.
She knew a lot, and also knew that the Qingyuan Sword Sect had now decided to fully support His Majesty, and would gain the title of a great sect that protects the country after His Majesty has firmly established his throne.
The great clan that guards the country in the history of the Dawu Dynasty.
It has happened before.
Although the number of times was not large, whenever a great clan emerged to protect the country, the Dawu Dynasty had fallen into chaos, and the situations faced by successive monarchs were very similar to those faced by Your Majesty.
"Bring people here."
Ning He thought about it and then gave an order outside the tent.
talking.
Ning He looked inside the hall and saw Ning Yan and Ning Yue, who had also not taken off their armor, and whose armor was stained red with the blood of the enemy.
He frowned and asked, "What do you think is the purpose of His Majesty asking people from the Qingyuan Sword Sect to come here?"
"This"
Ning Yue scratched his head when he heard that.
Somewhat uncertainly, he asked, "Could it be that someone wanted to assassinate the general, so His Majesty sent a master to protect him in secret?"
But I just finished.
Ning Yue felt that she was overthinking.
Who is our general?
He is the prince's personal disciple. Based on his identity, who in the world would dare to act recklessly?
"What Yue'er said should be correct."
However, what Ning Yue did not expect was.
Ning Yan actually nodded at this time, agreeing with her statement.
"what?"
Ning Yue was stunned after hearing this.
He opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Is there really someone who dares to attack the general?"
"Have you forgotten the two auras that appeared in the camp when we first arrived at Chongli Mansion last time?" Ning Yan rolled her eyes upon hearing this, and then said, "When the general just arrived at Chongli Mansion, someone wanted to kill him, let alone now."
"Whether Chongli Prefecture can be defended is related to whether the Dawu Dynasty will be completely in chaos. If I can't defend it, it's fine, those people will just wait and see what happens, but if I defend it, those people will probably be unable to sit still." Ning He sneered, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
He mocked, "After all, some rats who only dare to hide in the dark will only dare to use some shameful means, hoping to get something for nothing."
"I think your majesty has also noticed this."
Ning Yan nodded and said, "That's why we asked the people from the Qingyuan Sword Sect to come and secretly protect the general."
talking.
Ning Yan frowned again and said, "I just don't know who the person coming this time will be and what his cultivation level is."
"General, the person has been arrived." Just as Ning Yan finished speaking, a reporting voice came from outside the tent, interrupting Ning Yue who was about to speak.
"come in."
Ning He slowly raised his eyes when he heard this.
I saw a slender woman with a high ponytail, wearing the same white plain skirt as the disciples of Qingyuan Sword Sect, with bright eyes and white teeth, carrying a fiery red spear on her back.
He opened the tent and came over, bowing and saying, "I am Bai Xianxian, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, and I am honored to meet General Ning."
Meet people.
She is a young woman.
Ning He's expression softened slightly.
He said slowly, "You are welcome, Mr. Bai. I wonder what your majesty wants you to do by sending me here?"
"Return to the general."
Bai Xianxian said: "The eldest sister asked me to come here this time to deliver something to the general."
After saying that, Bai Xianxian did it.
He took off the Jiuliyun Fire Spear from his back, presented it with both hands and said: "This is the Jiuliyun Fire Spear, please have a look, General."
