Nie Chen sneered and said,
"If I want to fight you head-on, why do I need to lure you into my camp? I can just send my troops there? Why do I want to ruin my camp?
Also, I'm not begging you, I'm just here to discuss it with you, Ning Wushuang.
Quedingtang has already annexed the Qiyan tribe and became the overlord of the southern grassland. Now Quedingtangwu has sent an army of 300,000 to conquer Qingshui County.
Do you think that he dispatched an army of 300,000 troops just for that mere county? The supplies snatched by a county town are not enough to consume his 300,000 troops for a day. Will he do such a loss-making business?
His goal is the entire Weihu County, that vast land!
He wants to take the entire Weihu County as his own, and even send his troops south to attack the capital!
In my opinion, whether it is me, you, or King Anton, we are all Feng people. Whether Weihu County is in my hands or yours, it is in the hands of Feng people!
Whether it is me or King Anton, we all obey the orders of the Emperor of Feng Kingdom, and we all have official positions conferred by His Majesty the Emperor.
Weihu County can only be in the hands of Feng Ren and must not fall under the iron heel of the barbarians.
No matter which one of us occupies Weihu County, at least we treat the people as human beings and protect them.
But you also know how cruel and vicious the barbarians are. After the barbarians win, they will only turn us, the common people, into their slaves and massacre them at will.
Turn our farmland into their pasture and let them graze freely.
By that time, millions of people in Weihu County will be worse off than dead.
I could have ignored the people and the life and death of Weihu County and suffocated you to death here in one breath.
But my father-in-law, General Weng Huan, has always warned me that brothers stay in the wall and resist their insults. When facing the attack of the Qiyan tribe, he chose to believe Liu Hu, but Liu Hu killed him.
Ning Wushuang, this time, I choose to believe in you. My faith will not change.
No matter how we fight, we are all people of the wind, and when facing the invasion of foreign enemies, we should still be united in dealing with the outside world.
The land of Weihu County can only be in the hands of Feng Ren.
Ning Wushuang, if I lose this battle, I will die without a burial place.
I hope you can go back and persuade King Andong to suspend the friction with King Zhennan and send a large army to retake Weihu County. The land of our wind people cannot fall into the hands of the barbarians. "
After Nie Chen's words, the dozen or so generals he spoke about all lowered their heads in shame.
While they were still thinking about how to fight Nie Chen, Nie Chen was already thinking about protecting Feng Ren's land.
This is the national justice, this is the fight against the barbarians on the grassland, and it is the belief engraved in the bones of every Feng people.
Nie Chen looked at Ning Wushuang quietly, while Qian Dafu looked at Ning Wushuang anxiously.
They are all waiting for his decision.
Ning Wushuang looked at Nie Chen for a long time and murmured,
"Brothers are jealous of each other within the wall, and resist their insults from outside... You are right, the land of the wind people cannot fall under the iron hooves of the barbarians."
"Ning Wushuang!"
Qian Dafu roared.
Nie Chen smiled when he heard this and said,
"So, have you promised not to hunt me down?"
More than a dozen generals all looked at Ning Wushuang, their eyes full of hope.
However, Ning Wushuang shook his head and said,
"No."
Hearing this, the dozen generals sighed again and lowered their heads in disappointment.
Only Qian Dafu smiled happily.
"I'll go fight the barbarians with you!"
Ning Wushuang's words came again.
"You, hundreds of thousands of people, are all new soldiers. How can you be the opponent of 300,000 prairie tigers and wolves in a field battle? If you die, Weihu County will be lost. I can't get Weihu County back by myself." Yes, none of us have the ability to defeat an army of 300,000 people alone.
But your people, plus mine, total 270,000. I think we can fight the barbarians.
So, Lord Nie, are you willing to believe me?
Will you take advantage of the battle to sneak attack on me? "
"I can't, what about you?"
"I do not know either."
Nie Chen and Ning Wushuang looked at each other and smiled.
The dozen or so generals all breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they could go fight the barbarians.
It is not shameful to die in the hands of barbarians, nor is it shameful to die in the hands of enemies, but it would be shameful to die in the hands of fellow wind people during the invasion of barbarians.
"Ning! Wu! Shuang!"
"This is the best opportunity to kill Nie Chen and defeat the enemy. You let it go like this. That's it. The worst we can do is stand still. But you still want to help the enemy. You really treat me like a supervisor. Is it made of mud?"
Qian Dafu's entire face was distorted with anger. He took out two pieces of paper from his arms and said,
"Please show me the first one. Before the expedition, when the prince appointed me to supervise the army, he gave me the order to monitor you, and when necessary, I could seize your military power and take over our side. Army!
The second picture is when you were about to come here from Guiling Pass, the prince gave an order for me to take over the military power immediately and escort you back to Dongping County!
But I didn't tell you, nor did I go to take your military power. I chose to believe you. I don't think you betrayed the prince, and I am willing to give you a chance!
But is this how you treat my trust and how you treat the prince’s respect? "
Looking at the summons in Qian Dafu's hand, Ning Wushuang was not surprised at all and said lightly,
"I have full authority to decide this matter. Whether it is success or failure, if I am still alive after the war, I will personally go to the prince to apologize!"
"It's too late! Ning Wushuang, you can do whatever you want, but I can't just watch as you push these hundreds of thousands of people into a pit of fire!"
Qian Dafu glared at the generals and shouted loudly,
"Generals, listen to your orders. According to the will of the prince, I now have full authority to take over the military power. You all obey my orders.
I order you to capture Ning Wushuang and kill Nie Chen! "
Looking at the two summonses in Qian Dafu's hand, the generals became embarrassed.
From the bottom of their hearts, they wanted to listen to Ning Wushuang, fight the barbarians, and defend the Feng Kingdom's territory.
But they are also the subordinates of King Anton, and they have to obey the prince's will.
They were all caught in a dilemma.
Nie Chen, on the other hand, squinted his eyes and watched this scene, waiting for Ning Wushuang's choice, and wondering whether he should take the opportunity to persuade Ning Wushuang to run away with him to the camp.
However, Ning Wushuang suddenly drew his sword.
He drew out the sword from his waist like lightning and drew a graceful arc in mid-air.
The sword cut down diagonally from top to bottom, cutting off the two pieces of paper in Qian Dafu's hand, and also chopped off his head.
The huge head flew up, and the blood from the neck sprayed around.
The style of that sword shocked Nie Chen and all the generals.
