In the early morning, in the faint light of the morning light, from this quiet wilderness there was a large camp that stretched for miles on each side. A silver phoenix flag hangs high in the camp in the east, and a lifelike phoenix figure is vividly depicted with silver needlework on the top of this phoenix flag. Obviously, this is the silver-white phoenix banner that can only be used by the most trusted generals under the command of Empress Shengde, and it is also the most prestigious banner besides the red gold phoenix flag. Now, Wang Yan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, a general under Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, is leading an elite northern army of 50,000 to attack important northern cities controlled by the imperial Chen family. And naturally, they also encountered a big obstacle here.

Now that the two sides have completely torn their faces, the forces of the royal Chen family will not sit still here, and they have already formulated a perfect plan in the shortest possible time. Surrender the Weiku Plain, which no longer has any resources, and at the same time ambush an army of more than 1,000 people in the depths of the mine, intending to ambush Chen Xinyu's army into the encirclement and annihilate it. They have been here for ten years, and their familiarity with the mines is not at all comparable to that of the soldiers and generals under Chen Xinyu's command.

At the same time, the Chen family of the royal family also received news of an emergency in an important city in the north, which made them feel more pressure than the loss of the Weiku Plain. This is not only because this city in the north is an extremely important sphere of influence for their royal Chen family, but also to give an explanation to the forces that support them. Therefore, Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, resolutely decided to order Xia Cheng, one of the most trusted generals under his command, to send 50,000 troops to resist Chen Xinyu's army. The great generals on either side of them could not afford such an outcome. Therefore, in the past few days, most of the strategic battles between the armies of the two sides have been mainly tentative attacks, and no large-scale campaigns have been carried out.

Compared with the stability of the south, the north is even more tense, and the forces on both sides have sent about 50,000 troops, which is a relatively burdensome figure for both the Empress Shengde and the imperial Chen family. But they didn't care about this, they all knew that as long as they won this battle, everything they had paid before would be worth it. On the other hand, if this battle fails, it will be extremely unfavorable news for both the Empress Shengde and the Chen family, who are on the defensive. This point, as the commander-in-chief of both sides, the two extremely strategic generals naturally understand this. In these matters, these two generals who commanded the army were naturally like mirrors.

Compared with the relatively stable situation in the south, the situation in the north now seems to give rise to the possibility that the whole situation could change dramatically at any time. It is precisely for these reasons that these forces on both sides are also very careful. Whether it is Xia Cheng or Wang Yan, the two commanders and generals are extremely careful in everything they do now, for fear that if they make a wrong move, they will lose all the time. As a result, the two generals, Xia Cheng and Wang Yan, chose to temporarily suspend their troops and wait for the situation in the south to become clear, and then they would consider whether to enter the army.

The situation in the north is now affecting the whole body, and no force on any side dares to be careless, and if such a situation fails, it is very likely that all the efforts and efforts made in the past ten years will be in vain. Of course, what they care about is not only Chen Xinyu or Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family. Xia Cheng and Wang Yan seemed to have reached a silent tacit understanding at this time, and they both temporarily ceased fighting.

However, today's originally peaceful wilderness suddenly appeared because of the appearance of a royal Chen family's messenger patrol, which caused the whole originally very stable situation to suddenly become a little complicated. When the patrol soldier came to this wilderness, he immediately went to the place where the army of the Chen family of the royal family was stationed. In the vicinity of this station, Xia Cheng also arranged a lot of patrol posts, this soldier did not wait to get close to the boundary in front of him, he was directly discovered by the surrounding patrol posts, and one of the soldiers standing at the top shouted loudly: "Who are you, why did you come here alone at this time?" The commander of this soldier was very dissatisfied, no matter where this soldier came from, he actually ignored the rules here in a large way, and the soldiers here were naturally not allowed to move around at will in normal times, whether it was a big war or ordinary training and alertness, such rash action was absolutely not allowed.

The Patrol Commander did not know the soldier who had come to deliver the message, but he did not bother him. On the contrary, although the commander of the patrol ordered his troops to arrest him, all he had in mind was the recent tensions, and it was perhaps understandable that some of the soldiers who had come to deliver the message would not take what was happening so seriously, and that they had neglected the most basic etiquette at some point. At this moment when war could break out at any time, the patrol leader's mind was very calm, and the situation at this time naturally did not allow any accidents to happen, so he asked the soldier who had been controlled by his soldiers to the point of immobility: "Where are you from?"

This messenger who came from Checheng to deliver news originally thought that his status was noble, and in the environment where the royal Chen family attached great importance to every news transmission, he was a herald from Checheng, that is, the capital of the royal Chen family. Although he himself did not represent exactly the news of the important people of the Chen family of the Checheng royal family, with his identity, who would dare to disfavor him?

It's just that when he came here, he never thought that he would be treated like this when he came here, although he also wanted to believe that these patrolmen did it to ensure the safety of the current camp of the royal Chen family. However, the other party's attitude made him really unhappy. So, when the patrol commander made an inquiry, the soldiers who came here showed a very disdainful look on their faces. He muttered in a low voice, "But now that you're about to go to war, you are so dismissive of those of us who have come through the city?"

The words of the messenger who came to report the news were extremely harsh, which made the hearts of these soldiers in front of them suddenly rise with a surge of anger, and two of the soldiers with fiery personalities immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "Don't deceive people too much, let me tell you, what kind of place do you think this is, can you just come and go as you like?"

As soon as these two people with fiery personalities said these words, the emotions of the soldiers around them were immediately ignited. They all glared angrily at the messenger in front of them at the same time, and even a few soldiers with very excited and serious personalities quietly raised the knife at their waists and aimed it directly at the messenger in front of them. The messenger was not afraid at all, he straightened his back, and roared angrily: "Can you people who do not know the height of the heavens really stop me like this, and if anything happens to me, can you be responsible for these things?"

"Hmph, I never thought that such a person who didn't know the height of the sky would come here to deliver a letter, Wang Ren, this guy really doesn't know what the current situation has become! Who allowed you to make a public noise here, do you treat military regulations as nothing?" As soon as the envoy's words fell, an army of thousands of cavalry rushed out from the camp of the Chen family of the royal family in the distance. The middle-aged general who was riding a white horse, wearing a red cloak and white silver armor at the head of the horse, quickly rode into the originally noisy army, and only heard him snort so directly.

"See the general!" After this cold snort, the surrounding soldiers suddenly quieted down, and the soldiers who had been cutting the messenger in front of him with their hands behind their backs also let him go. The messenger staggered to Xia Cheng's face. Although he was reluctant in his heart, because of this disparity in status, the messenger still stepped forward and gave a salute.

Xia Cheng jumped off the war horse, he gently waved the horse whip in his hand, and hit the messenger who came here from Checheng in front of him with the horse whip, he suddenly sneered and said: "What did Wang Ren ask you to do here, you don't really plan to withdraw my army to Checheng, right? This is really a particularly funny joke, ahhahahaha" Xia Cheng's smile was supported by the soldiers around him, and the shouts of the soldiers one after another ran through the tide.

Xia Cheng's unbridled ridicule made the envoy's heart angry, and he wanted to kill the person who humiliated him directly. It's just that now he understands the difference in status, it is impossible for him to do something with Xia Cheng, and even if he wants to, it is impossible. So, the envoy could only silently endure this breath, put on a low voice and said slowly: "This is just General Wang Ren's idea, he thinks that there is not much point in the confrontation like this for a long time, it is better to integrate the army that is not rich in itself to launch the final decisive battle, we will inevitably be at a disadvantage if we delay it like this, please think twice, general!"

This envoy couldn't take care of too much now, he directly knelt down and asked the general Xia Cheng in front of him. However, Xia Cheng still laughed, "So, can there be a letter from His Highness or a troop transfer token that can prove that this is His Highness's order?"

Xia Cheng's words suddenly made the envoy in front of him speechless, this was indeed not an order given by Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, who proclaimed himself King Che. Recently, Chen Xuan was not in the city, but secretly went to another secret place to inspect an important production. Now, Che Cheng is temporarily in charge of Wang Ren, who is also Chen Xuan's confidant with Xia Cheng.
