Fengguo, Wang'an County.
After entering the city, Nie Chen rested for two or three days. After the army was almost ready, he led his army to the south.
And he also received two pieces of news. One was that King Pingxi's army had arrived outside the capital and began to set up camp.
Another news is that Ren Jun has been reactivated.
The former commander-in-chief of the capital's defense forces was Ming Gao, Ming Xuan's cousin. After Ming Xuan became emperor, this cousin, who had a good relationship with him, was also given the title of Prince Gao.
However, under Mr. Fang's advice, Mingxuan gritted his teeth and agreed to re-enable Ren Jun to deploy the city defense and take charge of the army.
But he didn't have too much trust in Ren Jun. Although Ming Gao was no longer the commander-in-chief, he gave him the status of military supervisor.
Now, the commander-in-chief is Ren Jun, who is a marquis, and the supervisor is Ming Gao, who is a king.
Ming Gao's title is higher than that of Ren Jun, and he was the commander-in-chief before. Now he has been demoted to serve as Ren Jun's subordinate. Is he happy?
Although Mingxuan had warned him that now was the critical moment of life and death, and that he should cooperate with Ren Jun and not mess up, he was definitely not happy in his heart.
After Nie Chen learned this information, his eyes widened and he immediately asked Zhang Feng to send someone back to Wang'an County and bring some good treasures.
A good treasure that can restrain Ren Jun.
After two days of marching, Nie Chen led an army of 500,000 people and finally arrived outside the capital.
Looking at the super military camp surrounding the entire capital, Nie Chen also understood what King Pingxi had been doing when he had not attacked the city in the past two days.
We're always camping.
The capital was very large, but the area required for the military camp where a million troops were stationed was also very large. King Pingxi simply surrounded the city and built it, surrounding the entire capital. Firstly, it could prevent Mingxuan from escaping, and secondly, he could be nearby. Attack the city from all sides.
It seems that King Pingxi is ready to fight a protracted and difficult battle.
Now that King Pingxi had set up the camp, Nie Chen took it in without ceremony and directly let the army enter the camp to station.
King Pingxi sent many people over to help guide the way and arrange a location for Nie Chen's army.
The commander's tent is located directly north of the camp. It seems that King Pingxi plans to attack from the north as the main direction.
Since there was someone to lead the way, Nie Chen didn't have to worry anymore and directly took the commanders of the five legions, as well as Ouyang Ming, Zhou An, Yue Dongwen and others to Ping Xi Wang's handsome tent to discuss military affairs.
King Pingxi's handsome tent is very large, and it can easily accommodate dozens of people.
After Nie Chen entered the commander's tent, he saw King Pingxi's people, all sitting on the left side. There were many chairs on the right side, obviously prepared for them.
"Your Majesty, you are fine."
Nie Chen smiled and hugged his hands.
As he spoke, he prepared to sit on the chair on the right.
"Sit over here."
King Pingxi patted his side.
Only then did Nie Chen see clearly that inside the handsome tent, there were no chairs, but a large wooden couch that could seat at least a dozen people. In front of it was a long handsome table, and King Pingxi sat on a chair. On the left side, Ling Juan was still sitting next to her. On the right side, it was empty, obviously reserved for Nie Chen.
Nie Chen also noticed that there were two handsome flags hanging behind the couch, with Chen on the left and Nie on the right.
Obviously, King Pingxi believed that Nie Chen was qualified to be on an equal footing with him.
Nie Chen didn't hesitate and directly pulled Weng Qiuchan to sit over.
After he sat down, he faced everyone. Now his people were on his left and King Pingxi was on his right.
King Pingxi didn't say anything, because at this time, people from Nie Chen's tribe were worshiping and greeting people from other tribes.
"Meet Prince Pingxi."
"Meet Prince Pingxi."
Ouyang Ming, Ning Wushuang and others came to pay their respects. It was the first time for many people here to see King Pingxi.
For example, Ning Wushuang, Zhang Feng and others.
Suddenly, Hirano Bozhengchuan stood up, walked over with a smile, put his arm around Yue Dongwen's shoulders, and said with a smile,
"Xiao Yueyue, we haven't seen each other for a year. Do you miss your uncle?"
Yue Dongwen shrank his neck and said quickly,
"I've been thinking about it for a while. I think about it every day. I think about tea more than food."
"Have you thought about it? Then why haven't you seen me? Go back and have a look?"
"Um... isn't it because we are busy with the war? We are fighting every day. Even if I want to go back, I don't have time?"
"I take it that you are having so much fun under Lord Nie that you can't find anything to do with it, right? What kind of ecstasy has this guy given you, so that you are so fascinated that you even forget about your old master?"
"No, no, absolutely not. Um...uncle, I'm going to pay a visit to the prince first. I haven't seen him in a year."
"Okay, go ahead. Now that you've paid your respects, think about where you should sit."
Uncle Hirano gave him a meaningful look.
Yue Dongwen became even more embarrassed and quickly knelt down on one knee and hugged King Pingxi, saying,
"Yue Dongwen pays his respects to the prince. May the prince be blessed with peace and prosperity!"
King Pingxi nodded lightly and said,
"Well, get up. I heard that you have made a lot of achievements under Nie Chen this year.
As for whether you stay or go, you can make your own decision. You don't have to worry about other people's opinions. Whether you are under my king's account or under Nie Chen's account, you are General Dafeng, serving the country. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yue Dongwen stood up. He originally wanted to say something about missing the prince, but then he looked at Nie Chen aside.
It's so embarrassing. The old master and the new master are sitting in front of me. The key is that the relationship between the two is so good, so I can't offend anyone.
Nie Chen also narrowed his eyes and looked at Yue Dongwen playfully.
Yue Dongwen looked at Nie Chen, and then at Uncle Hirano who was watching coldly. He lowered his head and sat silently next to Ning Wushuang.
Uncle Hirano snorted coldly and said nothing.
A general who is lent out is water thrown out and cannot be taken back.
Everyone on Nie Chen's side was laughing at Yue Dongwen's joke.
Weng Qiuchan wanted to talk to Ling Juan, but there were Nie Chen and Chen Wujiang between them, so it was not easy to talk.
Ouyang Ming and Mr. Jin exchanged a few pleasantries, and then they all sat down in their seats.
As the chief advisers to their respective lords, the two of them naturally sit in the first place.
After everyone sat down, Nie Chen said with a smile,
"Brother, although you sent the troops later than me, you came all the way unimpeded. I fought all the way. How come you arrived in the capital at the same time as me?"
In Nie Chen's army, there were rumors that King Ping Xi deliberately slowed down his march so that Nie Chen could attract the enemy's main force and consume each other's forces with the enemy to preserve his own strength.
To put it bluntly, I just want to watch the fire from the other side, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
As soon as this voice appeared, Nie Chen immediately ordered that no one was allowed to say this, otherwise it would be considered as damaging to the morale of the army.
