Zhao Yanting's reputation is not very good. Liu Zhixing once criticized Zhao Yanting in public as a traitor.

He now wrote to Wu Nian, saying that Wei Ru's actions were inappropriate and would ruin the great event.

What's going on?

Are the captains at the front facing off against the Meng Yuan people at odds with each other? Or is Zhao Yanting doing something strange and being discovered by Wei Ru?

And then bite Wei Ru back?

Or did Wei Ru really do something inappropriate? It aroused Zhao Yanting's disgust.

The people with status and status around Wu Nian all became suspicious in their hearts. Their eyes were all focused on the package in the hands of the person who came to report.

Guesses are just guesses. It’s not too late to make a judgment after taking a look at what Zhao Yanting said.

Wu Nian was also suspicious and frowned. A soldier stepped forward and took the package from the stranger's hand. After opening it, he took out a wooden box and handed it to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian reached out and took the wooden box, opened it, took out a piece of silk and read ten lines at a glance. His expression changed slightly, and he ordered again: "Retreat troops immediately and return to Ling County."

People around were curious about what happened, but since Wu Nian didn't say anything, they didn't ask.

Tens of thousands of Wu Nian's troops retreated to the north like a tide. After arriving at Ling County, Wu Nian asked Zhang Jin to stay and guard Ling County to prevent the Chu army from Shanhaiguan from breaking out and competing with him for Nanhai Mansion.

He led the horse infantry to the north.

The junction of Huanglong Mansion and Nanhai Mansion is also the place where Chunyuan and Wei Ru confront each other.

nonstop.

...........

The front line of confrontation between Wei Ru and Chunyuan.

Chunyuan takes an offensive stance, while Wei Ru, on the other hand, builds deep ditches and high bases, strengthens the defense, and does not blindly engage Chunyuan.

The war goals of both sides are very clear.

Chunyuan wanted to save Wang Zhongbi so that Wu Nian could not get the Nanhai Mansion. Wei Ru stopped Chunyuan from going south so that Wu Nian could successfully get the Nanhai Mansion.

Wei Ru's side was inferior in terms of military strength, but had an advantage in defensive fortifications. Chun Yuan led his troops to attack Wei Ru several times, but all ended in failure, with heavy casualties on both sides.

noon.

In Chunyuan's camp, the soldiers who had just eaten were hiding in the shade, enjoying the cool air and digesting their food.

Soldiers with missions had to wear armor and carry spears. They were sweating profusely and either stood guard or patrolled.

The morale of the army is not particularly high, but it is not low either.

Inside the Chinese military tent.

Chunyuan was wearing a black brocade robe with narrow sleeves. He was sweating from the heat and kept drinking water. Below him were ten captains from his headquarters.

"She is really a tiger girl. The Wei Ru on the opposite side reminds me of her father Wei Changqing. At that time, ten thousand households moved south. Wei Changqing of Haitian City is one of the hardest bones to crack."

Chunyuan shook his head slightly, with a look of respect on his face. Enemies like Wei Changqing were really rare. But soon, he sighed again.

What a tiger girl. Although Wei Ru on the opposite side is a female general, her ability and force are superior to those of Wei Changqing. She also has tens of thousands of enemies like Zhao Yanting to help her.

It's really difficult to deal with.

If Wei Ru's defense cannot be broken through, Wang Zhongbi will undoubtedly die.

The captains present all nodded. You have to earn the respect of your enemies. Even if you are a female general, as long as you are strong enough.

No one would regard female generals as weak women.

Wei Ru's strength was recognized and even feared by the Meng Yuan generals.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan. Maybe I can defeat Wei Ru." A captain's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, he stood up and clasped his fists and said.

Chunyuan and everyone turned around and saw it was Commander Chen Keke.

Whether it is his military strength or his ability to lead troops, Chen Keke is ordinary among the commanders and is usually not very eye-catching.

He suddenly stood up and offered advice, which immediately aroused everyone's interest.

"Speak freely. If you are right, you will be rewarded. If you are wrong, I won't blame you." Chunyuan's eyes lit up and he immediately expressed his stance.

"Yes." Chen Ke said with joy on his face and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, the Wei family has lived in Haitian City for generations. When Wei Changqing defended Haitian City, half of the Wei family died."

"Wei Ru must have feelings for Haitian City in his heart."

"And now Wu Nian's ability, military strength, and influence are already very strong. She must be ready to take action, and wants to return to Haitian City and restore the glory of the Wei family. Let's find an important relative of the Wei family in Haitian City. Write

Write a letter to Wei Ru saying that you can open the city gate and welcome Wei Ru into the city."

"If Wei Ru takes a small road to Haitian City, we can block her retreat and then eliminate her."

After hearing Chen Keke's strategy, Chunyuan and the other captains fell into deep thought. This was not a very clever strategy.

To put it simply, it’s four words.

Lure the enemy deeper.

But just because it's simple doesn't mean it's hard to use.

What Chen Ke said is right. Haitian City is of extremely important significance to Wei Ru and the Wei family.

Wei Ru is still a woman. Maybe her head gets hot and she falls into a trap?

The most important thing is that they currently have no good way to break through Wei Ru's defense. Regardless of whether it works or not, just use it first. There will be no loss anyway.

"You can try it. If it succeeds, bury father and daughter together. There will no longer be any generals of the Wei family in this world."

After thinking about it for a long time, Chunyuan nodded. Then he smiled at Chen Ke and said, "That's good. I'll give you a tiger skin. If you really kill Wei Ru, I'll give you three thousand taels of silver."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Keke was overjoyed and quickly bowed down and thanked him.

All the captains looked at Chen Ke with envy. This boy had made a splash. But soon, they became excited again.

If Wei Ru falls into the trap, it will be an ambush from all sides. When the time comes to force the troops to fight, they can also grab some military exploits and drink some soup.

Wei Ru, the school captain under Wu Nian, has a head on his head, worth ten thousand gold.

Chunyuan quickly asked the captains to leave and found a confidant to handle the matter secretly.

.............

noon.

Haitian City. When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty invaded, Wei Changqing led his troops to fight bloody battles here. Many soldiers and civilians in the city died in the battle.

Even though seven or eight years have passed, there are still many traces of the battles on the city wall. The soil outside the city seems to be more fertile than other places, and there is a faint smell of blood.

There is also a legend in Haitian City: General Wei Changqing turned into an undead and is continuously cursing the Mengyuan people.

When the people in the city were sleeping at night, more than one person dreamed of Wei Changqing's dead soul, and then woke up in a cold sweat.

Because Chunyuan had disbanded the soldiers and horses of thousands of Han households, there were problems with the city defense. Chunyuan mobilized some veterans from the rear to guard the city and monitor the Han people in the city.

Not just Haitian City.

As Wu Nian's power grew, the Han people in the entire Huanglong Mansion and Guangyang Mansion were ready to take action.

The contradiction between the Mongolian people and the Han people became increasingly acute.

If there were no veterans guarding the city and Chunyuan led the army to go out, there might be heroes from the rear who would rise up and occupy the city to respond to Wu Nian.

Chunyuan's governing philosophy was to assimilate and train the Han people, so that the Han people would become the "own subjects" of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and fight side by side with the Mongolian Yuan people.
