LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 11
The night was bright and the lights were on.
The Zhenbei Palace was brightly lit at night.
Inside the palace, red bricks and green tiles, eaves and corners, pavilions and towers, it was magnificent.
Outside a lake in the palace, in the pavilion.
Zhenbei King Yang Xiao, dressed in a black robe, sat here, with a strong back and a majestic appearance. His tiger eyes contained a touch of amazing power.
Opposite Yang Xiao, sat a handsome boy with a slightly exaggerated expression.
Yang Qingyun, the prince of Zhenbei Palace, Yang Xiao’s only son and the only heir of Zhenbei Palace, had a great influence in the entire Zhenbei Army.
“Father, the prince of Beimang is very fierce. Liu Futong’s 100,000 troops are now only 20,000.”
“Do you think these 20,000 people can last for a month?”
Yang Qingyun grinned.
Yang Xiao sneered and shook his head: “One month, you think too highly of Liu Futong and underestimate the prince of Beimang. If it weren’t for the prince of Beimang’s concern for me, these 20,000 troops would not last for three days.”
Three days!
The time Yang Xiao said was still very conservative. He has been dealing with the army of Beimang for many years and knows how terrible Beimang is. If he really wants to break through, a big battle can devour Liu Futong’s army of the southern expedition alive.
“Your Majesty is afraid that the northern border will completely fall into my hands.”
“Beimang is also afraid that I will become too powerful.”
“That’s why Liu Futong can live well!”
Yang Xiao’s tiger eyes narrowed slightly, but his words were very cold, and the listeners were terrified.
Yang Qingyun nodded, agreeing with his father’s words: “But father, this is not a solution after all, Liu Futong must be defeated!”
“If Beimang doesn’t help him to defeat, then we have to help him to defeat!”
The Southern Expedition Army is not destroyed, and the 300,000 tigers and wolves of the Zhenbei Palace are now out again?
They must make the old and incompetent Emperor Tiande realize that this huge 800-year-old country will fall apart without the Zhenbei King and will be vulnerable!
Yang Xiao looked at his son with a doting look in his eyes: “Qingyun, don’t rush into anything. Our Majesty has many tricks!”
“The Zhenbei Army is not invincible yet. The other three kings of different surnames are also very powerful. Once we dare to make any moves, they will definitely join hands with His Majesty to make us father and son die!”
“Liu Futong was defeated, but the news has never been reported back to the capital.”
“As a minister, how can I not tell His Majesty?”
Yang Xiao’s words made Yang Qingyun a little confused.
Tell Emperor Tiande?
Yes, Emperor Tiande will definitely be furious, but His Majesty is very suspicious of them now, even if Liu Futong is defeated, what does it matter?
Most likely, other armies will be sent to support. Since the Zhenbei Army has been put on ice, it will definitely be kept on ice forever.
“Father, I don’t understand.”
Yang Qingyun said frankly.
Yang Xiao smiled, but did not explain.
The next day.
Ning Fan, who had just woken up, was called over by Liu Futong.
In the hall, Liu Futong smiled and was very friendly when he saw Ning Fan coming.
“Come on, come on, sit down and have some tea!”
Liu Futong shouted loudly.
Hiss, this old man, so polite, must be cheating!
Ning Fan became more alert.
“General, just tell me what you want to say.”
Ning Fan stood up and said directly.
Liu Futong pushed Ning Fan down again, and then sat beside him: “A ninth-rank warrior who came out of a lowly family, wow, it’s really rare.”
“In our Great Zhou, when we send people into exile, we will examine everyone’s cultivation. Once they surpass the third-rank warrior, we will make other arrangements. So in recent years, let alone ninth-rank warriors, even those who have escaped from the lowly family are very rare.”
“You, you are also a genius!”
Liu Futong flattered directly.
If it were someone else, I guess they would be flattered, after all, Liu Futong was telling the truth, a ninth-rank warrior who came out of a lowly family is extremely rare!
Although a ninth-rank warrior has no influence on the battlefield, things are rare and valuable.
But Ning Fan became more alert after hearing these words.
What is this old guy up to?
“General, just say it.”
Ning Fan was very straightforward.
What’s the point of saying so many roundabout things? Just be straightforward!
Liu Futong smiled and nodded: “My army was defeated in this battle of the Southern Expedition. I dare not report the results to His Majesty. Once His Majesty is furious, all 20,000 of us will die!”
“So, we need to make up for our mistakes now!”
Make up for our mistakes?
Ning Fan stared, and now in Liangcheng
, there is only one way to make up for the past, that is to win another battle.
But now there are only more than 20,000 people left in the Southern Expedition Army, and the Northern Mang on the other side has at least 100,000 people, and their combat power is amazing. Once the war starts again, it will be like an egg hitting a stone.
Is Liu Futong’s brain rusty?
Besides, I am just a centurion, not even a post-natal cultivation, why did Liu Futong say this to me?
“Right now, there is a best opportunity for a Jedi counterattack!”
Liu Futong seemed a little excited.
“We will spread the news that we will start a war again, avenge the previous shame, attract the main force of the Northern Mang, and then I will lead the main force to go around and directly attack his nest!”
“As long as the temporary nest of the Northern Mang is broken, I will cut off his big flag, and this will be a great victory!”
“By then, His Majesty will not only not blame us for the previous defeat, but will also reward us with great joy!”
Liu Futong became more and more excited as he spoke.
Attract the main force, and then go around and attack?
This method seems feasible and can attract the main force…
Wait!
Ning Fan’s pupils trembled, and then he looked at Liu Futong in disbelief.
“Since we have to attack from behind, I must take away all the elites, and the highest level left is also the ninth-grade warrior like you.”
“But you must be extraordinary in combat power after fighting out of the grassland.”
“So I will allocate you 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I have also recruited 2,000 civilians from several nearby cities, adding up to a total of 5,000 troops!”
“These 5,000 troops are temporarily at your disposal!”
“Ning Fan, I think about it, only you can carry this burden!”
Ning Fan clenched his fists, and his temples were throbbing.
He wanted to flip the table.
Damn Liu Futong, he wanted him to die!
Take away all the elites, leaving only 3,000 ordinary soldiers, plus 2,000 civilians, with such a small force, he was asked to fight the main force of Beimang?
Damn, let alone a head-on confrontation, the opponent’s attack will probably wipe us out.
“Ning Fan, this battle is extraordinary. I think you are worthy of training, so I give you such a heavy responsibility. You must not let me down.”
“After winning this battle, I will make an exception and promote you to the position of captain, and report to His Majesty that you will be appointed as a sixth-rank general!”
Seeing that Ning Fan’s face was not right, Liu Futong spoke again.
“You are my soldier!”
“Charging into battle and defending the territory are our duties.”
“Do you still want to disobey?”
A candied date, then a stick.
He is so skilled in coercion and inducement.
