"Your Majesty!"
"We... heavy armored soldiers, more than half were killed or injured!"
"Um……"
In just a short moment, King Qi had calmed down and his expression returned to its calm state. After looking far into the distance, he sighed with regret: "Dayu came here specifically to defeat King Ben!"
"Now, the heavy armored troops have been defeated, and the soldiers have no morale whatsoever."
"Send the order, withdraw the troops!"
"My lord, are you still withdrawing?" A military commander showed a hint of unwillingness in his eyes: "If we let this hole open, we will not be able to defend the Nine Levels Pass!"
"snort!"
"Can you hold on without letting go?"
"You can't even defeat the heavily armored army, so what can you do to defend it?"
"Send me the king's order to withdraw from Jiuzhongguan!"
There was a hint of violence on King Qi's face, and he shouted: "Burn everything you can't take away, and burn everything you pass by. Whether it's houses, food, grass, or streets, anything you can't take away will be given to me." Burned."
"Even if I leave, I will never leave any food or grass for Dayu."
"promise!"
A general took the order and left, but the counselor next to him had a look of worry in his eyes: "Your Majesty, we withdraw, what will Kuang Chen and the others do?"
"Kang Chen!"
King Qi also had a look of confusion on his face. After all, Kuang Chen was the most powerful general under his command. Now he went out of the city to attack the camp and successfully set fire to Dayu's camp. Logically speaking, he was the hero of the palace.
But now...
"Report!"
Just when King Qi was hesitating, a figure suddenly rushed forward. His body was covered with knife marks and blood was flowing across his body. However, he remained tall and straight. He said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, General Kuang Chen was ambushed in the enemy camp. Now, under his command, The 30,000-strong army has been surrounded, please speed up your troops to help us!"
"What!"
King Qi's expression changed again, and he stared at the scout: "What on earth is going on? Didn't Kuang Chen successfully set fire to the enemy camp?"
"Yu's main force is attacking the city, who are they surrounded by?"
"Your Majesty!"
The scout's nose was filled with tears, and he cried mournfully: "We did not burn Dayu's camp, but they burned it themselves. There is no one in the camp, and it is all firewood and oil."
"As soon as our people rushed in, they were blocked by Dayu's cavalry. They charged several times and dispersed the army."
"General Kuang Chen finally organized a defense, but... he was already surrounded by them."
"puff!"
After all, King Qi couldn't hold on anymore, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his whole body became shaky.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty..."
"withdraw!"
…
"Lord, Jiuzhong Pass has been captured."
"yes!"
Ning Fan looked at the corpses all over the ground with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Since ancient times, there has been success and failure, but no matter success or failure, it is the people at the bottom who shed blood and sacrifice. After life and death, politicians shake hands and make peace, and the powerful and powerful return to peace. It is nothing more than the circulation of interests.
But for him now, war is not about winning the enemy's compromise, but about overthrowing and establishing a new system.
"My lord, King Qi's remnant army has escaped from Jiuchong Pass. Do you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"
"No more chasing."
Ning Fan shook his head and said softly: "Yong Zeng, Yun Chang, you quickly lead your troops to help Qingzhi and eliminate the night attack army outside Jiuchong Pass."
"promise!"
"Pan Feng, Xing Daorong."
"The end will be here."
"You go and take over the city defense."
"promise!"
"Lord!"
Just as the generals were preparing to leave, Guo Jia quickly stepped forward and whispered: "When the King of Qi withdrew his troops, he set fires everywhere, and now the Jiuchong Pass is on fire..."
"What a familiar method."
Ning Fan glanced at Li Ru playfully, and then said calmly: "Then let the soldiers put out the fire first. We will save as much food as possible, and preserve the houses as much as possible."
"Is there any news from Ziyun and Shubao?"
"Back to my lord, General Chen and General Qin have surrounded Kuang Chen's troops."
"good!"
Ning Fan also felt relieved and took the empress to the General's Mansion at Jiuchong Pass. Looking at the charred walls everywhere, he couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will wrong you today."
"Lord, in the entire General's Mansion, there is only one house left intact. Please move it."
"Um!"
Ning Fan took advantage of the situation and took Mu Qingcheng's hand. The latter's whole body trembled, and he broke away reflexively, and took two steps back, looking at him with cold eyes.
Dian Wei wisely walked out of the courtyard, leaving only the two of them. The soldiers who were putting out the fire not far away also poured two basins of water and consciously stayed away.
"Your Majesty, the Nine Levels Pass has been broken, and my king's iron hoof is knocking on the door of Guanshan Mountain."
"Of course there is no need to worry later, you can also prepare for the class."
"You're going to drive me away when you're done with me?" Mu Qingcheng felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Ning Fan's words. "Besides, this mountain is not yet under your control."
"Hahaha!" Ning Fan smiled: "Sooner or later, your Majesty has many things to do, and I don't dare to delay for too long."
"How did you think about what I discussed with you before?"
"This is something you should ask your Majesty yourself. The king's conditions have already been stated. Whether it can be achieved or not is entirely up to your Majesty."
"you!"
There was a blush on Mu Qingcheng's cold face, and she stared at Ning Fan with a bit of embarrassment: "I can't agree to this condition, you can change it."
"The king seems to have said that there is nothing else to ask for!"
"A shameless person, a pervert, a pervert, a shameless person."
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
Ning Fan's eyes were a little unkind, and his tone was a little colder: "His Majesty negotiated the terms with me first. Since it is a transaction, it must be based on your wishes!"
"If His Majesty is unwilling to agree, just let it go. I have never forced you at all."
"But you..."
Mu Qingcheng had no imperial image at this moment. She was like a little woman who had been wronged, with resentment and confusion in her eyes.
He obviously likes me. Some time ago, he was completely obedient to me, and even...
But why did he become so callous and ruthless in just a few days?
"That stinky man is so disgusting!"
"Is he trying to force me to bow my head?"
Mu Qingcheng felt extremely uneasy, and her eyes gradually became complicated. She looked at Ning Fan for a long time, and then sighed sadly: "Since you don't agree, I... will return to the court tomorrow!"
"good!"
Ning Fan had no intention of holding back, and instead showed a smile: "Since His Majesty is not prepared to negotiate terms, we can naturally let go of our identities as businessmen and still be good friends who can sleep together!"
"you……"
Mu Qingcheng was so angry that she couldn't speak. She looked at Ning Fan and didn't know how to speak. This guy was obviously very annoying, but it made her unable to feel any hatred or ill feelings, just pure anger!
Very angry!
