Zhang Xuanji is very sad now.

Just today, the spies of the Xuanji Legion reported back that there are as many as 100,000 troops stationed at Tongguan and Hangu Pass alone.

It seems that there are not many people stationed there, but given the terrain, without seven or eight times the number of troops, there is no chance of getting in.

There are high mountains on both sides of Hangu Pass, and Hangu Pass is a gap.

The city wall is dozens of feet high, and the terrain in front of the pass is narrow, so up to ten thousand people can be invested at one time.

Tongguan is even more exaggerated. There are mountains on one side and a river on the other side. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to attack it.

"Hey, forget it, let's not think about it for now. The water will flow straight to the bridge. Let's think about how to defeat Hongnong first." Zhang Xuanji sighed.

"Brother Zhang, you are right. Since those players don't want to join us, we don't have to leave meat for them. If you have any ideas, just tell me. We, the Yellow Dragon Legion, will definitely cooperate." Huang Qilong patted his chest and said.

.

"Yes, our Qingfeng Legion will definitely cooperate!"

When Zhang Xuanji heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Just when he was about to attack Hongnong, the spies in front sent back a message.

When he heard several people with yellow health bars running out of Hongnong City, Zhang Xuanji immediately felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhang?" Huang Qilong looked at Zhang Xuanji and frowned. He thought there had been some change in the plan.

"The brother in front of me just sent a message to me, saying that a neutral NPC is coming towards us." Zhang Xuanji did not hide anything and told the two of them directly.

"Neutral NPC? How can there be neutral people in Hongnong City?" Chu Qingfeng looked weird.

"I don't know, but wouldn't it be clear if we stopped them?" Zhang Xuanji said with a smile.

"Stop? Is this okay? Attack neutral targets at will, and it might turn into a hostile relationship." Huang Qilong hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. We just stopped them and didn't hurt them. It's not a big problem." Zhang Xuanji shook his head and said indifferently.

When Huang Qilong heard that it was not a real attack, he didn't say anything. Anyway, according to the rules of the game, except for green friendly troops, which cannot be attacked, yellow neutral and red hostile troops can actually attack.

"Well, since everyone has no objections, then I will go and make arrangements. I feel that this neutral target may be a messenger. Let's stop the messenger first so that we can know the situation of Hongnong City. Then we can attack Hongnong City.

There are also benefits to rural towns." Zhang Xuanji finally concluded.

The deputy general at this time knew nothing about Zhang Xuanji's plan.

In his opinion, Dong Cheng's army was still far away from Hongnong, and he had just left the city less than thirty miles away, so he was very safe.

Therefore, the deputy general took his personal guards and immersed himself in the journey. He knew that it would be safer for Hongnong City if he arrived in Luoyang a day earlier.

Moreover, if you arrive one day earlier, if the emperor is happy, he might be promoted to a general or something.

By then, countless gold, silver, and countless beauties will all be his.

The deputy general had been immersed in his own fantasy and did not notice at all that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the woods on both sides.

Suddenly, a rope suddenly appeared on the originally wide official road.

The deputy general didn't even have time to react, and was directly blocked by the snagging rope.

This time, the deputy general was so dizzy that he had only one thought in his mind, that he had fallen victim to it.

The lieutenant wanted to get up, but before he could do anything, several spears were pressed against his neck.

At this time, the deputy general panicked. He wanted to shout for help and let his guards come to save him.

Then he turned around and saw that good guy, his bodyguards were all lying on the ground just like him, with several spears pointed at their necks.

Okay, let me serve it in one pot.

The lieutenant general panicked. He did not expect that he would be caught at the door of his home.

"General, spare your life, I'm the messenger." The lieutenant general was very smart. He knew very well that he was being captured in this area, and he knew who captured him even with his buttocks.

"Tell me, who are you?" Zhang Xuanji walked out of the crowd and asked the deputy general.

"General, I am the deputy general of Hongnong Guards Wang Fang! Sir, I am one of my own!" The deputy general gave in and revealed his identity.

"Wang Fang's deputy general? When did Wang Fang become our own people?" Chu Qingfeng curled his lips and said with some confusion.

"General, my general is preparing to bring order to the chaos in Hongnong, to rise up in front of the formation and welcome the heavenly army into the city!"

The deputy general was afraid that Zhang Xuanji and the others would not believe it, so he continued: "General, I have a letter written by my general to the emperor in my arms. The general will know it as soon as he reads it!"

Upon hearing what the deputy general said, Zhang Xuanji reached out directly from the deputy general's arms and took out the letter of surrender written by Wang Fang to Liu Xie.

As soon as Zhang Xuanji opened the letter, Chu Qingfeng and Huang Qilong gathered around him.

"I'll go, it's really a letter of surrender. No wonder they have yellow blood strips on their heads." Chu Qingfeng looked at the letter and murmured.

"Brother Zhang, this letter should be true, so what should I do now? Do I want to continue marching towards Hongnong?" Huang Qilong looked at Zhang Xuanji and asked.

Zhang Xuanji looked at the letter and was not in a hurry to answer. He was thinking about another thing.

"Two brothers, we may be able to make a contribution this time." After a moment, Zhang Xuanji said excitedly.

"Meritorious service? What do you mean?" Huang Qilong asked with a strange look.

"Two brothers, you see, now Wang Fang wants to surrender, except for himself. As far as we know, you think, what will happen if we encourage Wang Fang to take us to Hangu Pass?" Zhang Xuanji

Said with a sneer.

Huang Qilong and Chu Qingfeng are not stupid. If they were really stupid, they would not be one of the top ten army commanders.

When they heard Zhang Xuanji's words, they immediately understood what Zhang Xuanji wanted to do.

"A good idea, but don't we have to wait for His Majesty to make a decision on this matter? We can agree to Wang Fang's surrender at will, is that okay?" Huang Qilong said with some uncertainty.

"What's so good? Isn't it mentioned in the mission introduction? We can decide everything, as long as we ensure the interests of the Han Dynasty. Do you think it's not enough for us to capture Hongnong, Hangu and Tongguan at the same time?

To ensure the interests of the big man?" Zhang Xuanji said with a smile.

After hearing Zhang Xuanji's words, Huang Qilong and Chu Qingfeng fell silent for a moment.

While they were still thinking about gains and losses, mission reminders came to their ears.
