Chapter 126: The Clever and Intelligent Enemy Commander
"I am General Zhou Mian of King Rui's army!"
Shen Changgong shouted.
He also wanted to disguise himself as the son of Prince Rui, but Prince Rui was not far from Prince Ning, and the two families had a good relationship and would visit each other during festivals. It could be said that Prince Ning had watched Prince Rui's sons grow up, so how could he not recognize them?
He could only disguise himself as King Rui's general.
"Where is King Rui? Why doesn't he come out to greet him in person?!"
the cavalryman shouted.
Shen Changgong replied,
"Shen Changgong led the enemy army in a very fierce attack, especially today, attacking ** City like crazy.
Our prince and several of his sons are fighting bloody battles at the north wall! We are unable to come and greet Prince Ning in person. Please forgive us!
"Then why don't you open the city gates? Let the Kun Kingdom's soldiers enter the city!"
"I'm sorry, but my prince has ordered that I must not open the city gates unless I see with my own eyes that His Royal Highness Prince Ning is alive and well."
The cavalryman couldn't make the decision either, so he had to report back.
"Wait, I'll go report to the prince!"
After saying this, he turned his horse around and galloped towards the army.
When he arrived in front of a huge carriage of the central army, he repeated Shen Changgong's words into it.
There were three people sitting in the carriage.
A man, wearing the royal robe of Dayan, sitting on the left with a humble smile on his face, is none other than our Prince Ning.
The other one, with a broad back and strong arms, looks very powerful. He is wearing armor and sitting on the right. He has a stern face and is intimidating without even being angry. You can tell at a glance that he is a fierce general.
Sitting in the main seat in the middle was a handsome man wearing light armor.
The man looked to be in his twenties, with a warm smile on his face. He was very handsome, with a feminine temperament, a masculine and feminine appearance, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were particularly bright. He smiled so cheerfully that he didn't look like a general.
King Ning said to the man in the middle, clasping his hands,
"Your Highness, General Yu, please...don't take what I just said to heart. These are all Prince Rui's own speculations and have nothing to do with me."
The man in the middle is Yu Huatian, the commander of the 300,000-strong Kun Kingdom army.
Yuhuatian is young, but he has made great military achievements and is a master in using troops. In his early years, he had won great victories in the wars against Qi and Liang in the south of Kun.
Later, because of his great military achievements, he was ostracized and transferred to the north to command the 300,000 troops on the border of Yan State.
An army of 300,000 may seem like a large number, but there has been no war between Yan and Kun for many years. Yan is weak and will basically not take the initiative to invade.
The Kun Kingdom was powerful, but was blocked by Yaoguan and Zhennanguan, and if he wanted to fight, he had to get permission from the court.
The Kun court has always focused on the richer south and has no interest in the impoverished Yan State.
This time, thanks to Prince Ning's initiative to surrender the pass, coupled with the internal chaos in Dayan and the destruction of the kings, Kun State felt that this was a rare opportunity and set its sights on Dayan in the northeast.
And Yuhuatian finally got the opportunity to expand his territory and achieve great things.
At this time, Yu Huatian heard the words of the spy outside and King Ning. He said to King Ning with a natural smile,
"Your Highness, there is no need to explain. You and Prince Rui have a deep brotherly bond, so it's normal for him to worry about us killing you.
We should go meet the commander in person and gain his trust, so we can quickly enter the city and help Prince Rui defeat Prince Lanling."
"Master Yu is right. Xiao Wang will be there soon."
"I will go with you."
"How could General Yu, with his wealth and power, risk his life with the little prince?"
"Hahaha, no problem, I have Lian Yong to protect me. No matter how many enemies come, they will not be enough for me to chop down."
The mighty general beside him sneered when he heard this.
"No matter how many enemies come, I can kill them all!"
The three men got off the carriage and mounted their war horses, followed by a group of guards, about dozens of people, heading towards the city wall.
Soon, they came to a place two arrows away from the city wall and stopped.
Prince Ning shouted towards the city wall,
"The one above, open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am Prince Ning."
Shen Changgong looked down and saw Prince Ning wearing a royal robe. He looked very impressive and didn't seem fake. He clasped his hands and saluted.
"This humble general pays his respects to His Highness Prince Ning. May I ask who is next to Prince Ning?"
"Who is next to me? Do I need to report to you? This is General Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Great Kun Army, and that is General Yu's most powerful general, Lian Yong!
Marshal Yu has personally led the army here to help you kill the enemy and defend the city. If you delay, if anything happens to your King Rui, you will have to bear the consequences!
Open the city gates quickly!
Shen Changgong nodded and said,
"I will obey your orders!"
"Open the city gates and let the prince and the commander in!"
Following Shen Changgong's order, the soldiers below slowly opened the gates of the city wall.
Prince Ning said to Yu Huatian with a flattering smile on his face,
"Marshal, do you think we should go in?"
"Not urgent."
Yu Huatian smiled and shook his head, then looked up at Shen Changgong.
The two looked at each other, and Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly.
"What's your name, young man up there?"
"General Zhou Mian pays homage to Marshal Yu!"
"I have come here personally to rescue you from this dire straits. Your Majesty is busy with military affairs, so it's alright if he doesn't come to greet you in person.
You are just a minor general, and you don't even come down to greet me in person. Aren't you showing too little respect for me?
Is this how King Rui treats his guests? Is this how he treats his savior?
Shen Changgong smiled coldly without leaving any trace and said,
"I apologize for being abrupt. Please wait a moment, Marshal. I will go down to greet you in person."
After saying this, Shen Changgong planned to gather the shadow guards and generals to see if he could trick the person over first. If not, he would just assassinate him directly.
After all, this is what he is best at.
However, Yuhuatian below continued to say,
"Only you are allowed to come down, no one else is allowed to come."
Shen Changgong's face darkened, and he thought to himself that the commander of Kun Kingdom's 300,000-strong army was indeed a tough guy.
"Oh? What does Commander Yu mean?"
"If I tell you to come down, then come down. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Yuhuatian said with a smile.
"Oh, Marshal Yu just said that I was disrespectful to you. If I go down alone, what will you do if you attack me?"
"If I were to attack you, I would have to wait until we entered the city. Now we haven't even entered the city yet, and the city gate is still in your hands. If I kill you and can't enter the city, the city will be captured by Shen Changgong. Wouldn't I have lost the city in vain?"
Shen Changgong narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuhuatian below.
He pondered the possibility of killing the enemy commander in broad daylight and escaping unscathed by himself, protected by hundreds of the enemy's elite soldiers.
Almost zero.
Looking at Yu Huatian's calm smile, Shen Changgong felt a chill in his heart.
No, this Yuhuatian...
He must have just realized that the city had been lost, and he was trying to lure me out!
I want to do the opposite!
Behead and assassinate me, the commander-in-chief of the Yan army!
