"Huh? General, those people from the Cheng family didn't catch up!" After the Baicheng Alliance army moved forward quickly for a few hours, they could no longer see the soldiers and horses of the Cheng family, and they breathed a sigh of relief. .
"It seems that the Cheng family may not be here for us. They are probably here to take over Longcheng and Xianyue City!" The general also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little more thankful.
If the Cheng family really came for them, it would really be a disaster.
"General, do we really want to hand Longcheng and Xianyuecheng back to them like this?" A deputy general stood up and said unwillingly.
"Do you have a better way? The situation is completely different now. The Cheng family obviously wants to expand its influence in the world of cultivation.
This time we launched a war and captured Xianyue City and Long City, and the Cheng family just took this opportunity to expand into the world of cultivation. We are making wedding clothes for the Cheng family! "The general sighed.
Although the Cheng family did not explain it in detail, anyone with a little bit of ideas can basically figure this issue out.
It is impossible for the Cheng family to come out to protect them for no reason, and they have already said that from now on, these cities will be protected by their Cheng family. This is obviously telling them that these cities will belong to the Cheng family in the future.
"General, but we have a dynasty behind us, and these guys actually defected to the Cheng family. Aren't they afraid of angering the dynasty?" A deputy general asked doubtfully.
"That's why I said we were making wedding clothes for the Cheng family. If we hadn't been so hard-pressed, maybe they wouldn't have defected to the Cheng family so easily.
We are coming with great force. If the Cheng family hadn't appeared, we would have captured Hongcheng by now.
It is because our offensive is too fierce that they know that even if they do not join the Cheng family, they will lose everything.
In this case, even if they knew that this would anger the dynasty, they had no other choice! "The general sighed.
"If we had known this, we should have surrendered to them first!" Thinking of this, some people also regretted it.
How could they have imagined that these people would find the Cheng family?
In their opinion, it only takes them two or three days to capture these cities with a million-strong army. As long as they persist for two or three days, these cities can be captured.
For such a simple thing, they didn't surrender at all.
But it was precisely because of their carelessness that they missed the opportunity and forced Hong Cheng and the others into a desperate situation, so they found the Cheng family as a helper.
"Actually, the main reason is that there is an entrance and exit behind Hongcheng. If there was no entrance and exit, would they still have a chance to find the Cheng family as helpers?" the general said.
"General, you said that the city lord only needs to let us take Hongcheng. Is it also because of this entrance?" At this time, a deputy general said with some doubts.
"Then I don't know. The city lord didn't tell me this. He just asked us to take Hongcheng!" The general shook his head and said.
Before sending troops, the city lord told them that their goal was to capture Hongcheng.
As for the cities outside Hongcheng, the city lord did not tell them to capture them.
If they want to capture Hongcheng, they must first capture Xianyue City and Longcheng, because this is the only way for them to go to Hongcheng.
This is also the reason why Xian Yue City and Long City were lost.
However, if the Cheng family had not appeared, their mission would have been completed after taking Hongcheng.
It's a pity that it was only one step away, and reinforcements from the Cheng family appeared. It was really regrettable.
I don’t know how the city lord will punish them when they return to the White City Alliance this time!
"Judging from the current situation, as long as the Cheng family is here, the development of our Baicheng Alliance will be restricted.
I hadn't thought of it before, but after you said this, General, I think our city lord came here just for this entrance.
Think about it, if Hongcheng is our territory, but suddenly one day, the Cheng family's army appears outside Hongcheng, how terrifying would that be? "A deputy general said.
"That's true, but what's the use of talking about it now? However, I want to remind you that after we return to the White City Alliance, we must not say that we missed the opportunity to capture Hongcheng. Otherwise, we will They will definitely be severely punished by the city lord." The general reminded everyone.
"Then what should we say?" These lieutenants are not stupid. This is related to their own wealth and life, so of course they can't talk nonsense.
"Let's just say that Hongcheng has been colluding with the Cheng family from the beginning. So when we attacked Hongcheng, the Cheng family's masters came out!
In this case, we have to retreat! "The general said.
"Well, what the general said is true, and these circumstances are also consistent with the original facts. Presumably even if the city chief asks other people to ask, the situation will basically be the same!" Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and felt that this excuse was indeed true. good.
Because it was indeed after they conquered Hongcheng that the masters of the Cheng family suddenly appeared.
As for what's going on with the Cheng family and Hong Cheng, even they haven't figured it out, so how can anyone else figure it out?
So to put it this way, there will basically be no flaws.
"Alas! Having said that, it is really a pity for us. If we could have surrendered them first when we arrived in Hongcheng, maybe the Cheng family would not have appeared.
If the Cheng family didn't show up, the outcome would be completely different. Maybe now we have all held a celebration banquet in Hongcheng! "A deputy general also sighed with regret.
This time it was indeed their fault. It would have been fine if they had not been too self-righteous and thought their power was strong enough.
Little did he know that behind Hong Cheng, there was the huge Cheng family.
I never thought that the Cheng family would get involved.
What a miscalculation, every step!
If the truth of this matter is known to the city lords of the White City Alliance, they probably won't have a chance to survive. How dare they say it!
"Stop talking about this. If you miss it, you will miss it. At least our people have hardly lost anything. Otherwise, no matter how many excuses we have, we will not be able to save our lives." The general said.
"The general is still wise. He knew that there were experts from the Cheng family, so he couldn't force himself. Now, no matter how many we have, at least we have brought back these millions of troops and have not caused any losses to the White City Alliance. Presumably the city lord will not want them. Take our lives, the most you can do is get a little punishment!" At this moment, the other lieutenants also figured out what a right decision the general made in not letting them go to war with the Cheng family!
