Captured Zhongning City, Xuanyuan Ding's mood was very happy, this time he was able to capture the big city of Zhongning, basically did not lose much troops.

After dealing with the government affairs of Zhongning City, let the government order that had surrendered be announced to the people, Xuanyuan Ding and everyone discussed in the government office, and Xu Xiang also rushed over.

Xuanyuan Ding was wearing a military uniform, sitting on the main seat, and the wall behind him was pasted with a map of Ningdu, and this time the discussion was mainly about attacking Ningdu.

"Your Majesty, now that Zhongning City has been taken, after the army rests, it can march towards Ningdu." Zhai Yin was the first to speak.

Xuanyuan Ding looked at it and sat down, his spirit was distributed, he was now full of talents, and the cities in the southeast of Ningdu were under his control, as long as he took Ningdu, expelled the Ming clan, and recovered the entire territory of Zhongshan within a year, he was confident that he would unify the fragmented Great Xia again.

The Ming clan has been operating in Ningdu for so many years, and it is normal to find no trace of Ming Jing.

If the Ming clan's 10,000 Chengfeng army wanted to withdraw from Qinglong City, they would inevitably have to go through the encirclement of the family and nobles, but Lin Chong had plans to carry out a surprise attack when the Chengfeng army withdrew.

Although Lin Chong seemed to control the families and nobles in Ningdu City, Xu Xiang believed that these families and nobles would not necessarily really obey Lin Chong's arrangement, and most of them would have accidents.

"Okay, I have decided to rest the army for three days and go straight to Ningdu!"

Xu Xiang sat down, frowning slightly, three days later was the time that Lin Chong and Ming Jing had made an appointment.

In the past two days, Yang Dianfeng and the Xinghuo Hidden Guard have been secretly looking for Mingjing's whereabouts, but there has been no news.

"Oh?" Xuanyuan looked at Xu Xiang and asked, "What is Changsha's opinion, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"These few times, I found something in Ningdu." Xu Xiang said, "Since the assassination of Ming Heng, the power of the Ming clan has fallen into the hands of Ming Jing. ”

"Ming Heng is in a coma now, Ming Jing, as the only person who is qualified to inherit the Ming clan now, the power falls into the hands of Ming Jing, which is very normal." Zhai Yin said.

But he really didn't have anything to do about it. Lin Chong couldn't listen to it, he had inexplicable confidence in his own strength.

Therefore, if Ming Jing wants to burn Ningdu, Lin Chong will probably not be able to stop it.

"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion on the expedition." If you want to stop Mingjing, you can't make any delays, you must go to Ningdu as soon as possible at this time, and force Mingjing out before Ming's Chengfeng army withdraws.

The eldest grandson Mingyue opened his mouth and asked, "Who is Yue Linglong?" ”

During these days, they knew very little about the affairs of Ningdu, and Zhai Yin's intelligence network had been in the city south of Zhongning City, and they did not inquire about the news of Ningdu. There is not much known about the inside story of Ming Heng's assassination, and the affairs of Ningdu are handed over to Xu Xiang to deal with.

Xu Xiang informed everyone of Yue Linglong's identity, and explained what happened in Ningdu during these days.

"I got the news that Ming Jing has reached an agreement with Lin Chong to evacuate the 10,000 Ming clan elites who surrounded the palace in three days, which means that Ming Jing already plans to give up Ningdu."

After Xuanyuan Ding listened, his face first showed a touch of joy, but then he became very solemn and said, "Why? ”

"I'm still investigating this matter, the Ming clan has been running Ningdu for so long, and now it's not at the end of the road, if there is no greater benefit, it is impossible for them to evacuate Ningdu. This matter should be related to Yue Linglong. ”

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I have not yet said."

"What?"

"Before Ming Jing left Ningdu, he planned to burn Ningdu. He did this very secretly, but as long as people who paid a little attention to the situation in Ningdu, it was not difficult to see that as early as a few days ago, the City Patrol Division had already begun to transport a large number of fire oil barrels to the twelve city gates except Zhenchuan Gate, including fire oil, sulfur and all kinds of fire-igniting things, the number of which had exceeded the inventory of the Ningdu warehouse, and now it was being transported to Ningdu from other cities! Xu Xiang told what happened in Ningdu recently and told his guess.

"Where is Jiang Fu now?" Xuanyuan pondered for a moment and asked.

"In the Yellow River Tan Town, he has not yet promised to contain the forces of Shujin Mansion." Xu Xiang replied.

"Changsha, Ming Jing wants to evacuate the Ming clan's forces from Ningdu, it should be a recent decision, this is a good thing for me, as long as Ningdu is recovered, I will figure out their purpose sooner or later. He was leaving, but there was no need to intercept him. ”

"Mingjing, is he crazy?" Xuanyuan Ding said angrily.

Since the founding of the Xuanyuan clan, Ningdu was built as a city and designated as the national capital.

It has been more than 900 years ago, and the past dynasties have also experienced some swords and natural disasters, but no one has ever had such a crazy idea of burning Ning Du with a fire.

Xuanyuan stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger.

When he heard that the Ming clan was transporting fire-oil, sulfur and other fire-causing materials to the major city gates, his first reaction was that Ming Jing planned to burn Ningdu.

This is no different from Xu Xiang's guess.

Seeing that Xuanyuan was already impatient, he wanted to send troops to attack the Ming clan. Xu Xiang stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the young patriarch has a point, this matter really needs to be considered in the long run. After all, now the things that cause fire have spread all over the twelve city gates, and some of the main roads in Ningdu should also be laid with things that cause fire, if you venture to send troops to Ningdu, it is difficult to guarantee that Mingjing will not jump over the wall in a hurry and light the fire in Ningdu in advance! ”

"I can't wait! Xu Changsha, Shangguan Xiu, Shangguan Yuning, Xuanyuan Wushuang, the four of you, quickly mobilize the three armies, and set off immediately to crusade against the Ming rebels! Xuanyuan was in a state of rage, and he couldn't calm down at all, so he immediately ordered to send troops.

"Your Majesty, think twice! If the army is under the capital of Ningning now, Ming Jing will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry and ignite the fire in advance! Xu Xiang persuaded again.

"Young patriarch, you can't let Mingjing, a madman, burn Ningdu, so you can order the whole army and go to Ningdu!" Xuanyuan Ding immediately ordered.

"Your Majesty, this matter still has to be considered in the long run." The eldest grandson Mingyue was not as angry as Xuanyuan Ding, and said calmly.

"Think long-term? Ning is the land of the Xuanyuan clan's dragon xing, and it can't be burned by the Ming clan's rebels! I must not let the Xuanyuan royal family be ruined by my generation like this! ”

"Dashuai, now it's ...... What to do? Shangguan Xiu asked.

The eldest grandson Mingyue sighed, and now she had no way to persuade Xuanyuan Ding. In the past, Xuanyuan Ding would not dictate all tactics and strategic plans, and completely obeyed her decisions.

Everyone present looked at each other, Xuanyuan had already left, and he didn't listen to persuasion at all, and the generals could only look at the eldest grandson Mingyue.

"Changsha, you don't have to say more, I have made up my mind, I can't wait for a moment!" Xuanyuan Ding said, and then said to Zhai Yin: "Zhai Yin, let the spies of the Baolong clan quickly enter Ningdu and find out the news!" ”

After speaking, Xuanyuan Ding walked out directly.

It's just that now it's about the survival of Ningdu, and he has lost his mind.

"Send troops." She said helplessly and made a decision.
