"King Zhao, now that you have General Lu's help, can you dare to challenge Da Li head-on tomorrow?"
"Huh, why don't you dare!"
There was a hint of pride on King Zhao's face, and he said calmly: "Without my son Lu Bu, the Dali Dynasty is just a bunch of rabble. Tomorrow the king will defeat their majesty!"
"King Qi, are you going to fight tomorrow?"
"No!"
"The morale of the soldiers is low now. If we lose two more games, it may shake the morale of the army."
There was a hint of worry on King Qi's face, and he said softly: "I am just worried that Dali's army will knock on the gate tomorrow."
"Haha!" King Lu sneered, "So what?"
"Although our coalition of princes suffered a defeat, there are still nearly 300,000 troops guarding the Nine Levels Pass."
"Dali Manchu can only defeat more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Trying to break through my ninth level barrier is nothing more than a fool's dream!"
"Yes, as long as the Jiuchong Pass is not lost for one day, our Guanshan land will be impregnable!"
After hearing King Lu's words, all the princes nodded. Only King Qi looked at Lu Bu and asked, "General Lu, in your opinion, can Dali's soldiers and horses break through my Nine Levels Pass?"
After hearing King Qi's question, all the princes also looked at Lu Bu with curiosity.
"If you can hold on and hold on, it will be difficult for Dali's soldiers and horses to cross the city gate even half a step."
"But if we take the initiative to fight, the Dali cavalry will be indestructible."
King Cheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are we just going to hide in the Nine Passes forever?"
"If Dali's soldiers and horses don't arrive for a day, will we have to defend Jiuchong Pass?"
"I have never suffered such a big loss. I must get this situation back."
"snort!"
At the mention of Dali, all the princes gnashed their teeth. King Qi looked at Lu Bu with a smile and said: "General Lu, we are waiting for you to show off your power tomorrow. Can we fight?"
"Lv made it clear to Da Li when he left the camp that he would not hurt Da Li in the battle at Jiuchong Pass this time."
"When the victory is decided at Jiuzhongguan, the water in Buben and Dali's wells will not conflict with the river."
"So, Bu will not take action tomorrow."
"General Lu!"
King Bei, who had not spoken until now, suddenly took a sip of tea, looked at Lu Bu with a smile, and asked lightly: "Now that you have just joined our Guanshan camp, my brothers have not yet seen your grace."
"If we don't go into battle tomorrow and kill a few enemy generals, I'm afraid the soldiers... won't be able to convince the crowd!"
"Yes, General Lu, at least hundreds of my men died under your halberd in this battle, so don't refuse."
"We know that General Lu is by no means a treacherous person. However, now that we are facing a formidable enemy, and King Zhao has been kind to you, please don't let King Zhao down."
The princes from all walks of life kept talking to each other, while Lu Bu looked indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"That's enough!",
In the end, King Zhao shouted low, and his eyes looked around and landed on Lu Bu: "Son, the king of Japan will send his generals to fight tomorrow. You don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy. You only need to join the battle with me."
"Yes, foster father!"
"Everyone, from now on, Lu Bu is my adopted son, Zhao Yuan. Anyone who dares to take advantage of him will be my enemy until death!"
"hehe!"
King Lu glanced at King Zhao with a smile, and said calmly: "Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? General Lu is famous all over the world. Naturally, we admire him very much, and we may want to get closer to him in the future. "
"snort!"
"gone……"
"King Zhao, take your leave. Tomorrow will be up to you."
…
The cold night is lonely, the winter snow is silent, and it silently covers the earth with a layer of silver frost. The candlelight is swaying in Ning Fan's bedroom, and the charcoal is burning in the brazier, making a crackling sound.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
There was an intermittent knock on the door, and Ning Fan slowly opened his eyes. When he looked around, he saw two people in black standing respectfully in front of him.
"See your Lord."
"No gift!"
Ning Fan knocked the wooden cover on the side of the brazier and said calmly: "How is the situation in Jiuzhong Pass?"
"Back to my lord, King Xu has led the remaining army back. A group of princes have contacted the sect behind them and are preparing to ask for help from the sect."
"According to the information from my subordinates, all the major sects in Guanshan are preparing to gather at Jiuchong Pass."
"We can arrive in three days at most!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly, with a look of contemplation in his eyes. Although he won a big victory today, it would be difficult to determine the outcome of a war.
Jiuchong Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are nearly 300,000 troops stationed by the coalition of princes. Although they are a ragtag group, they can have the advantage of defending the city. If they attack by force, they will probably pay a high price.
"Tell me about the situation inside Guanshan!"
"Back to my lord, now the nine princes are gathered here. Except for King Lu, each of them has brought out more than half of his troops."
"Today, the forces within Guanshan are very subtle. Before the alliance of princes collapses, there will be no reaction from all parties."
"Nie Zheng, please go there yourself and let King Xu take the first step." Ning Fan's eyes flashed with a touch of coldness: "The troops King Xu brought this time were almost wiped out, so let him use his final The residual heat!"
"yes!"
"I heard that among the nine princes, King Xu and King Chu are at odds?"
"My subordinate understands!"
Nie Zheng nodded heavily, with a glint in his eyes, and said softly: "The King of Chu also has our people under his command, so this matter is not difficult to operate."
"Um!"
"Zhuan Zhu!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Now that all the princes are stationed at Jiuchong Pass, when it is time for chaos, we must let Guan Mountain be in chaos!"
"promise!"
Ning Fan stood up slowly and said softly: "According to your opinion, the sects behind the various princes are preparing to intervene?"
"Back to my Lord, behind the nine princes are the support of the major sects in Guanshan. They will never sit back and watch Guanshan fall into the hands of the countries in the Central Plains."
"Are you sure?"
"Don't worry, Lord, my subordinates have already made complete plans. They will never appear in front of the Lord!"
"very good!"
Ning Fan nodded with satisfaction. Among all the forces under his command, Hell has never let him down. Even the Yihua Palace is far from comparable to Hell in terms of prestige and heritage in the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ning Fan's threat to take Emperor Da Yan's head was by no means empty talk.
"I don't want to see the shadow of the major sects in Jiuchong Pass."
"If I want to hear the news I want to hear within three days, there must be chaos in Guanshan!"
"Wherever the Lord wants there to be chaos, there will be chaos!"
"Okay, let's get ready!"
Ning Fan's eyes fell from Zhuan Zhu to Nie Zheng, and he solemnly told: "Be careful in everything, don't look down on anyone!"
"promise!"
Nie Zheng and Zhuan Zhu both saluted and disappeared into the night. Ning Fan walked to the window. The window of the empress's room was still lit, and he could vaguely see a flickering candlelight reflecting the Graceful figure.
