"Yes, we are willing to follow General Ning and make meritorious deeds!" "I'm willing!" "I'm willing!" The Eastern Border Army shouted in unison. Ning Chen looked at them and said, "You were originally good men of my Daxuan clan, but you were deceived by the old thief King Rui and made a big mistake." "Emperor Daxuan is a benevolent emperor through the ages. Ask yourselves, following the old thief Prince Rui to rebel, is it really better to be a rebel than to be a soldier of Daxuan?" "I hope you will find your way back, so I will give you another chance... If you don't cherish it, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" After finishing his words, Ning Chen looked at Sun Gaohan and said, "Sun Gaohan listens to the order!" "The general is here!" "Old rules, break up these people and place them in our team. If they truly repent, they should be rewarded. If anyone is dishonest, I allow you to kill them first and then report them."
Sun Gaohan leaned over and said, "General, I will obey your order!" "Wu Tiezhu!" "The general is here!" Ning Chen pointed at Huang Shao, "Take him down to heal his wounds. If he has any objections, chop him with a knife!" "yes!" Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Leave some people to clean the battlefield, and the rest will follow me into the city." The army entered Linhai City in mighty force. Both sides of the street were crowded with people. Before entering the city, soldiers had already announced to the whole city that Ning Chen was going to lead his army into the city. The first reason for doing this is to leave a path. The second is to prevent people from panicking. Ning Chen ordered that after entering the city, he would not harm any common people. The common people had long heard of Ning Chen's name, so they came one after another to see this legendary Daxuan figure. There is a military camp in the city. The army returns to camp. Ning Chen came to the city lord's mansion. This place has long been controlled by the Ning'an Army. That night, Ning Chen did nothing but briefly learned about the situation in Linhai City. The next day, Ning Chen issued an order to arrest the nobles and nobles in the city.
It is said that King Rui rebelled, and the city's dignitaries and nobles donated a lot of money. Since you are so rich, you might as well donate your life. These powerful noble families and dignitaries control the power and economic lifeline of the entire city. Unless they die, Linhai City will find it difficult to stabilize. Within three days, all the noble families and dignitaries were arrested and their property confiscated. At Caishikou, there were many killings, and rivers of blood flowed. Ning Chen sent someone to send a message to Emperor Xuan, asking him to send a group of officials to take over Linhai City. Linhai City is under temporary military control. On this day, Ning Chen was studying the map of the eastern border line. Yuan Long suddenly came to him with a soldier covered in blood. This man looked tired and his legs were shaking all the time. "The last general...the last general Chang Lingjun Baihu Kong Yu, see General Ning!" Changling Army? Ning Chen's eyes narrowed and he said: "Yuan Long, help him sit down." Kong Yu could hardly stand anymore. Ning Chen poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Drink some water and speak slowly." "Thank you General!" Kong Yu drank it all in one gulp and then said: "General Ning, we were ambushed." Ning Chen was startled, "Tell me, what's going on?" Kong Yudao: "Because there are not enough warships, some of us take boats and some go by land." "We walked to a place called Bai Zhuan Bay, where the waterway was rugged, and we were suddenly attacked. There were about 20,000 to 30,000 of them, and the water was very good. We were caught off guard, and we suffered numerous casualties." "Fifty warships were either destroyed or robbed... General Mu led us to land. The enemy pursued us closely, and our troops were scattered." Ning Chen's face was as dark as water, "Who attacked you?" "He seems to be from the Showa Kingdom." Showa country? Ning Chen frowned, not sure why? He thought the name sounded familiar. Ning Chen looked at Yuan Long. Yuan Long said hurriedly: "The Showa Kingdom lives on an island in the sea and is short of supplies... A few years ago, we sent envoys to pay homage to Daxuan, hoping that your majesty would allow them to do business with Daxuan."
"Your Majesty has agreed and allows the Showa Kingdom to move around the eastern border. They can do business or exchange supplies, but they are not allowed to live." Ning Chen raised his eyebrows, why does it sound like a small life? "What are the characteristics of Showa people?" Yuan Long said: "It is said that their faces are not much different from Daxuan's, but they are generally short in stature... I have only heard about them and have never seen them." Ning Chen's eyes narrowed, it sounded like a small life. But no matter who it is? If you dare to attack Daxuan soldiers and horses, you will have to pay the price. "Yuan Long, go and call Huang Shao and Lei An." Lei An was originally from the Changling Army. Because of his outstanding abilities, he was later transferred to the Ning'an Army and was in charge of the supply camp. He had to confirm the identity of Kong Yu. As for the Showa army, what should Huang Shao know? Yuan Long took the order and left. Ning Chen looked at Kong Yu, "Do you know where Mu Anbang is now?" Kong Yu said hurriedly: "After landing, General Mu sent me to ask for help from the general. He led thousands of people to retreat in the direction of Duanfengling." Ning Chen frowned, "Thousands of people?" He left 25,000 troops for Mu Anbang, but only a few thousand were left? Kong Yu swallowed nervously, "We were scattered, and the rest of us went somewhere?" Ning Chen looked ugly. Ever since he took the order, the losses had never been so heavy. He stood up and came to the map, his eyes falling on the places mentioned by Kong Yu. After a while, Yuan Long arrived with Lei An and Huang Shao. "Kong Yu?" Lei An was also surprised when he saw Kong Yu. Kong Yu saluted hurriedly. Ning Chen looked at Lei An, "Do you know each other well?" Lei An hurriedly said, "General, Kong Yu and I are from the same hometown and joined the army together." Ning Chen nodded slightly, called Lei An aside, and asked a few questions... to confirm that Kong Yu's identity was correct. Then he asked Huang Shao, "Do you know the Showa Army?" Huang Shao nodded hurriedly, "Yes!" "Tell me what you know."
"Yes!" Huang An said hurriedly, "The traitor King Rui has long been allied with Showa... This time, Xiang Xiuming led us to fight General Ning head-on, and the Showa Army is responsible for cutting off your support." "Once the support is cut off, the Showa Army will come to join us, attack from the front and back, and kill you in one fell swoop..." Huang Shao didn't dare to say the rest of the words. Ning Chen sneered, "Will you annihilate me in one fell swoop?" Huang Shao lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Bang! ! ! Ning Chen kicked him several meters away. "Why did you hide these things before? Huang Shao... It seems that you are not honest at all. If you want to die, I will help you!" Huang Shao was so scared that he got up and knelt on the ground with his hands on his stomach, kowtowed. "General, spare me, General, spare me... I didn't hide it, but I was scared at the time and forgot about it." Ning Chen sneered, "Why didn't you say it later?" "Little, I dare not... I'm afraid that if I say it, the general will think I'm deliberately hiding it." Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at him. This man can't be kept. No matter whether he can help him trick the gate of Xiangzhou open later, this man must die. But he can be kept for the time being, he is still useful.
