Half an hour later, Song Wangan and a group of Dingnan guards stood on the roadside outside the North Gate of Dingnan, watching Huben leave.

"General, are they really leaving like this?" When the rear of Huben's team disappeared from sight, a deputy general asked Song Wangan.

Song Wangan looked at the direction where Hu Ben was heading north without saying a word. There were thousands of thoughts in his heart.

When he made that request to Yang Hao outside the treasury before, he didn't have much hope in his heart.

That request was the third thing Mu Tianhao told him before the war.

Mu Tianhao said that if the coalition forces were defeated and the Chu army came to attack and capture Dingnan, but the food in the city had not been transferred out in time, if the person leading the army was a general from Ningyuan, especially a member of the Yang family, then Song Wanqian would have to deal with the food issue. Tell the truth and ask for the livelihood of the tens of millions of people in Nanyuan. Maybe we can save some life-saving food for the people in Nanyuan.

When Song Wangan first heard about the third incident, he was even more disapproving of it than he was about the second incident.

A member of the Yang family?

Yang Yanping has been disabled for twenty years. Even if the Chu army raises troops to retaliate, how can Yang Yanping personally lead troops into Tianlang?

If Yang Yanping doesn't come, the only other person in the Yang family who can lead troops is Yang Hongyi. With Yang Hongyi's age, identity and status, it is impossible for Dachu to let him lead troops into Tianlang again now.

As for Yang Hao, he was never within the consideration range of Tianlang or even all the people who commanded the troops of the Seven Kingdoms.

Being in the South Courtyard, Song Wangan and others knew a lot about Yang Hao. They knew that this son was quite weak and quite capable in politics and life, but he was definitely not brave and had never led an army.

Moreover, even if the Yang family really led the troops to take Dingnan in person, Song Wangan would not believe that with just a few words, the Yang family would leave any life-saving food for the people of Nanyuan.

The Seven Kingdoms have been conquering the east and west in these years. When have they shown mercy to those they defeated?

After a victory, the Seven Kingdoms didn't take all the spoils, and they even wished they could scrape three feet off the ground?

Who would have too much of such an important material as food?

The defeated troops fled into Dingnan last night and told vividly that Yang Hao had entered the coalition formation and wreaked havoc until he killed Bu Ze and An Peisong and broke Mu Tianhao's flag. Song Wangan and other generals did not dare to do so. I believe what they said is true. Because the Yang Hao the defeated soldiers said and the Yang Hao Song Wangan and others learned about are completely impossible to be the same person.

When Yang Hao led the Huben troops to the gate of Dingnan City, Song Wangan and others looked at him standing outside the city with his spear drawn, and they couldn't believe it.

Song Wangan even thought in his heart that under that protective face might be another Ningyuan general.

It wasn't until Song Wangan asked for surrender, was brought to Yang Hao, and saw Yang Hao pulling up his face protector that Song Wangan knew that the other party was really Yang Hao.

It was also at that moment that Song Wangan felt in his heart that the millions of coalition forces might really have been defeated unjustly. Because, whether it was Tianlang or several other countries, in order to find out the situation in Ningyuan over the years, all important officials in Ningyuan were involved. The situation, especially the situation of the Yang family, I don’t know how much energy was spent and how many spies were lost. In the end, they didn’t even know that Yang Hao was so brave and that Ning Yuan had such a devilish cavalry.

God knows how many unknown secrets Ningyuan has?

How could he not be defeated if he attacked so rashly?

And when Song Wangan made that request, he had both hope and anxiety in his heart, and even more anxiety.

There is hope because the second thing Mu Tianhao told me has come true.

Since Mu Tianhao can predict the second thing, then his judgment on the third thing should not be far off.

I am even more worried because food is so precious.

Song Wangan believed that these grains were not only extremely precious to Nanyuan, but also not dispensable to Ningyuan.

Although the end of this war was much faster than everyone expected, it took more than a month from the time when the Seven Kingdoms began to station troops on the southern border with great fanfare to the beginning of the war.

According to the information obtained by the South Academy, Ning Yuan has been continuously dispatching troops and generals to Yanmen for the rest of the month.

To deploy troops and generals, materials, especially food, will be consumed.

According to Song Wanqian's calculations, including the civilians, Ningyuan has consumed at least ten thousand shi of food every day in preparation for war. In other words, after more than a month, Ningyuan has consumed dozens of grains just to prepare for war. Thousands of stones.

The food in this treasury will undoubtedly be a great supplement to Ningyuan's food consumption.

And if Yang Hao really wants to get food, he will definitely give priority to the best food, which is the food collected by the South Campus.

Therefore, although Song Wangan made a request, he did not have any confidence in his heart. His only hope was that Yang Hao could be extra merciful and leave some life-saving food for the people of Nanyuan, even if it was only a small part, as Mu Tianhao said. Well, at least it can prevent the people of Nanyuan from starving to death in this severe winter.

However, Song Wangan never expected that after listening to his story, Yang Hao not only did not take away the grain grains in the treasury, but even left 8,000 military horses for him that he had originally planned to take away in order to settle the south. The food collected from Nanyuan can be distributed back to the people more quickly.

"General, judging from their appearance, they should be heading towards Xijing. Do we need to send the news of the fall of Dingnan to Xijing and the defenders along the way?" Seeing that Song Wangan just looked at the direction where Hu Ben was leaving, he remained silent. After a moment, , another deputy general asked.

"No need." Song Wangan shook his head, and then explained: "The Wolf Lord must have learned the news of the defeat of the army at this moment. As I expected, there must be a large number of scouts rushing in this direction from Xijing and everywhere along the way. .This Chu army has not hidden its tracks, they will encounter it."

"General, does this Chu army really dare to go to Xijing? They only have a few thousand people." Another deputy general said.

Song Wangan was silent again.

Yes, this Chu army did have only a few thousand people. However, this team of only a few thousand people defeated a million coalition troops in a field battle. This team of only a few thousand people was almost defeated. Dingnan was captured in an instant.

At this time, this Chu army went deep into Tianlang. How could the mysterious Yang family son not consider all the dangers? They knew there was danger, but they still came arrogantly. This can only show that despite all the dangers, they I didn't pay attention to it at all, or I already had a way to deal with it.

"Send a team of scouts to follow them." After a moment of silence, Song Wanqian said.

"Remember, just follow them from a distance and pass back the main news along their way. Don't get close!" After that, Song Wangan warned again.

"Yes, General!" A lieutenant general responded and then asked: "Do we really want to destroy the ordnance?"

The other generals also looked at Song Wangan.

Destroying ordnance is a serious crime. After destroying so many ordnance, if the Wolf Lord asks about the crime in the future, all the guards in Dingnan will have their heads chopped off several times.

"Destroy it." Song Wangan said without hesitation.

"General, should we wait first? If Lord Wolf learns about this Chu army, he will definitely mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress it." Another deputy general said.

Everyone understood what he meant.

Although the coalition forces were defeated, in this attack on Chu, Tianlang mainly dispatched troops from the South Courtyard. Not a single soldier was used in the East Courtyard, and there were still a large number of soldiers and horses in the West Courtyard and North Courtyard that could be mobilized. With Lord Wolf's temperament, he had to Knowing that the army was defeated, and knowing that the eldest son of the Yang family had personally led troops into Tianlang, whether it was to vent his anger or to capture the eldest son of the Yang family so that he could have an extra bargaining chip in future negotiations with Ning Yuan, he would inevitably mobilize troops to encircle and suppress him. .

Once the wolf master learns of the defeat of the army, he will definitely know that this Chu army is difficult to deal with. In this way, if the wolf master does not move, he will definitely dispatch an absolutely superior force, supplemented by the advantage of the home battle, with a thunderous force. The Chu army was wiped out in one fell swoop.

If this were the case, there would be no need for Dingnan to take the risk of destroying the ordnance.

"Destroy it! I am the general, and I will be responsible for everything." Song Wangan said in a more affirmative tone.

After saying that, Song Wangan looked towards the direction where Hu Ben was heading north and was silent for a while, seeming to be talking to himself or to the generals: "They have already given us a chance. We will not have a second chance. ."

"General, now that the city gate has been breached, what will happen to the people outside the city who escaped from Yanmen?" asked a lieutenant general.

"Let them enter the city." Song Wangan's only thought was, "Since this Chu army has left food to us, we no longer need to worry about spies. Tell those people that they must put down their weapons before entering the city."

"General, there are no less than tens of thousands of defeated soldiers gathered outside the city, and most of them are soldiers other than our Sirius. I am worried that they may not obey orders." Another deputy general raised concerns.

"Our top priority is to immediately start distributing and transferring food. We have no energy and manpower to waste on other things. We mobilize two thousand people to go to the city gate and tell the defeated soldiers outside the city to either put down their weapons or not be allowed to enter the city. Otherwise, there will be no killing. Forgive me!" Song Wangan said with a hint of cruelty on his face.

After saying that, Song Wangan stopped staying and turned around to walk towards the city.

After returning to the mansion, he summoned the civil and military officers in the city to explain everything. After everyone left, Song Wangan stood up and paced back and forth for a long time. Then he sat back again, picked up his pen, and wrote on a piece of paper. He wrote a few words: "The Chu army that entered our court this time is invincible. If Lord Wolf insists on fighting, the only way to have a glimmer of hope is to defend Xijing with a large army. You must not leave the city to fight! Absolutely!"
