Chapter 51 - Encirclement and Reinforcement (Part II)

In the evening when the Lingfeng army arrived in the city, the gates of the city were officially closed today, and all the people were told that the gates would not be there until the invading enemy forces were repulsed. The people who originally lived outside the city were also "led" by Zheng Kang, the current governor of the city, and retreated to the city. To the relief of these people, their farmland and houses outside the city have not suffered any damage, which is also the most important thing for these people in the war season.

For these simple and honest people, as long as their fields, fishing boats, and homes are not attacked to make it impossible for them to survive, these people will have no complaints. Even if it is no longer the Qi State that has managed the city of Huicheng for more than 300 years, it is the same if it is replaced by a feudal state, as long as it does not infringe on their basic interests, these people will not have much reaction. Although the measures taken by the feudal state are more ferocious than those since the Qi state, they can still ensure the most basic interests of the people in the city. And those who really want to revolt, most of them are not ordinary people. The leader of this rebel army was the nobles of the city, and this general Chiang not only owned a large number of family assets and hundreds of generals, but he was also a member of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy. Relying on such a secret and identity that is not known to many people, this Jiang general naturally formed a rebel army that still supports Qi State, and has now secretly united the 30,000 Ling Feng army outside the city, although this Jiang general does not quite understand why Feng Yuchong, the leader of the Ling Feng army, told him about this matter so confidently, as if he was very confident. However, until now, there were less than five hours left before the agreed time of the uprising, and seeing that there seemed to be no movement from the Ling Feng army outside the city, this had to make General Jiang, who was now basically ready, have a hint of foreboding in his heart.

Outside the city, after more than half an hour of nervousness and busyness, Ling Fengjun could be regarded as settling down. At this time, a sentry trotted all the way from the outside of the camp, and his target was the command post of the Ling Feng Army in the center. This command post is also where the two deputy generals of the Ling Feng Army, Lu Deng and Feng Shanshan, live. It's just that Lu Deng lives in the tent on the left, while Feng Shanshan lives in the tent on the right.

At this time, a large number of talented people have gathered around this General Chiang, these sturdy guards with heavily armed swords and dressed people, not surprisingly, are naturally a private army cultivated by this General Chiang and their family, for the outside world, this private army is the dart master sent by their family to travel all over the world, for these young and strong dart masters, they are naturally obedient to General Chiang, loyally protecting their masters around.

And the four burly and sturdy dart masters closest to General Chiang, these four looked about the same age as General Chiang, all in their early thirties, and they were also the most trusted people of this General Chiang.

Among the four people, the one standing on the far right has a relatively high status in General Chiang's family, he also grew up with General Chiang, and is about the same age as General Chiang. He had a relatively high status among these dart divisions, and when General Chiang wanted to seek their help to secretly launch an uprising, he was the first to stand up and declare his strong support for General Chiang. General Chiang also reciprocated the favor by giving important tasks to his childhood friend, who had been a strong supporter of his childhood, and the dart master was promoted to his position as the chief leader of their dart game in the northern part of the Qi country. Of course, he can't go to take office now, and he still needs to wait until the end of the war before he can go north to Xuancheng, the capital of Qi.

At this time, the sky was already full of stars, and as time passed minute by minute, time was getting closer and closer to the time of the confluence. And the closer he got to the coming time of battle, the more and more the general Chiang's emotions became more and more uncalm, and he couldn't even sit still, pacing back and forth in his room, his voice couldn't help but tremble a little. "How come it is that there are only two hours left now, why hasn't the Ling Feng Army done anything yet, don't they want to give up on us like this?"

Three of the four guards standing beside General Chiang were all highly skilled in martial arts and had a variety of existences. But their brains were not very good, and they could not help the general Chiang in such a matter at all. Only the guard who grew up with General Jiang could be regarded as seeing through the clues, and General Jiang must now have pinned most of his hopes on the Ling Feng army outside the current Huicheng City. But how could there be such a good thing, once the Ling Feng Army failed or was treacherous, then they would definitely not be able to preserve. This guard knew General Chiang very well, and he understood that this General Chiang looked very generous on the outside, but in fact he was narrow-minded on the inside, and there was no room for the slightest sand in his eyes. However, the guard was not very much in favor of them, and they pinned almost all their hopes on the Ling Feng army, whose situation outside the city was still unclear. In addition, this guard himself also learned the details about this Ling Feng army in advance, knowing that although this Ling Feng army has 30,000 soldiers, its actual combat effectiveness is not very strong, and its combat effectiveness is not as fierce and strong as the elite army of the Feng Zhan Hui three halls. The guard thought about it for a while, and felt that he still couldn't get General Chiang to persuade them to hand over their army to the untrustworthy Ling Feng army outside the city. Their future is still in their own hands.

So, the guard stepped forward and told General Chiang in front of him exactly what he was thinking, and an elusive smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After a long time, the general Jiang said slowly: "Why, do you think I will be so tied up and give up to others such an army that I have finally assembled that can support my position in the Qi State? At most, we should not have the foreign aid of the Ling Feng Army, and fight alone to seal the battle and recapture our city."

The guard looked down and thought about it, and immediately understood what General Jiang meant. He immediately bowed and said solemnly: "No matter how the general goes, wherever he goes, we will surely follow him in life and death!"

"Okay!" General Jiang stood up, a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he immediately stood up and whispered to the four guards beside him: "You immediately help me to send a message to all our troops who are ready to fight, order them to assemble, and now immediately set off from all the places where the people who cannot be wiped out, and gather at the west gate of the city to prepare the next order!"

"Yes!" the four guards immediately turned around, and General Chiang believed that his capable men would quickly relay the news to the rebels lurking throughout the city. During this time period, General Chiang slowly picked up a letter from the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy a few days ago from the table beside him, and this letter was tightly wrapped, with three layers of old parchment wrapped in the inside. The general Chiang slowly opened three layers of parchment and found an old-looking letter.

General Chiang looked at the letter carefully, and it contained a passage that interested the general Chiang. There weren't many words on it, just a short line. However, it was such a line of words that made this General Jiang feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

In just one line of small words, the person who sent the message was one of the members of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy in Jincheng in the north, and the members of this Demon Spirit Secret Envoy had a very close relationship with General Jiang in private, and he was also a very rare person who knew the true identity of this General Jiang. The letter clearly stated: "The Demon Spirit Secret Envoy has investigated clearly, Feng Yuchong killed Chen Jie for a reason, Chen Jie's alliance leader is a descendant of the Ming clan, and the prime minister is interested in Feng Yuchong inheriting Chen Jie's position." ”

Although this sentence is short, it contains too much deep meaning in it. General Jiang couldn't help but secretly admire his vision, and sure enough, Feng Yuchong really won such an honor as he thought. Of course, Feng Yuchong is not yet twenty years old now, and he has not really mastered such a force with indescribable strength, and he will not be able to truly master the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy for a while. However, now that Li Dan has agreed to this matter, this shows that this is an almost impossible thing to change. His original investment in Feng Yuchong was a wise choice, if Feng Yuchong could inherit Chen Jie's position, then wouldn't his position in the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy in the future soar to the sky?

Just as General Chiang was sighing, a young man who looked like a guard in white armor rushed in from outside the door. General Jiang immediately recognized that this was one of his four personal guards, named "Jiang Bei".

Jiang Bei hurried to General Jiang's face, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "General, the big thing is not good, our brothers have just finished gathering, Xu Zhan mobilized almost all the troops of the three halls of the Fengzhan Society to sweep towards the West Gate, our brothers are very tired, I'm afraid it is already more than auspicious."

"What! Xu Zhan, how could he possibly know about this?" When General Chiang heard the news, he immediately stood up from his chair, his body trembling there like chaff. He couldn't believe that their originally perfect plan would be detected by Xu Zhan! And the fifteen thousand troops under the command of the three halls of the Fengzhan Society were all the elite of the elite, and they were not at all comparable to the army composed of ordinary people like them.
