Liu Yuanxiang was very worried before, seeing that a month was about to pass, and Ning Ze had not heard any news.

When he heard that he had arrived at the coast, he immediately took the civil and military officials out of the city to greet him.

Seeing that there were several times more people brought back by Ning Ze than before he went, and the big cart and small cart were following behind, Liu Yuanxiang felt puzzled and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lord!" Ning Ze took the lead and came to her to salute, "Your Majesty has fulfilled her mission, and the Binaqiu Kingdom has sincerely returned!"

"Strategist, this is ......" Liu Yuanxiang looked at the huge army in the rear.

"Your lord!" Ning Ze took out a silk book from his bosom and handed it respectfully, and replied with a smile, "The new king of Binachu, Amur, has signed a letter of state with his subordinates, and if the lord has any drive, he will come as soon as he is summoned." Because the war had just ended in the country, Amur needed to stabilize his power, and when he was settled, he would come to Huajun to meet his lord. In order to show his sincerity, he paid a tribute of 50,000 gold, 1,500,000 stone of military rations, 500 large and small warships, 80,000 catties of iron ore, countless swords, guns and halberds, and sent 10,000 binachu soldiers to accompany 50,000 miscellaneous servants for the main public. ”

Liu Yuanxiang took the credentials, dumbfounded, and looked incredulous.

Ning Ze went for a month, not only did he get the Binaqiu Kingdom to agree to become his own vassal country, but he also received such a huge amount of materials and manpower, it was unimaginable.

It stands to reason that his identity as Princess Yuanxi, coupled with the fact that he only has one place in Huajun, it is basically impossible to make the Binaqiu Kingdom submit. How did he do it?

Not only Liu Yuanxiang, but all the Huajun civil and military officials behind them all had the same thoughts and shocked expressions.

Although Chu Meiren was a little surprised, she took it for granted, and rode forward and said to Ning Ze: "There are still a few days before January, but the military advisor has returned smoothly, and the subordinate really admires it!"

He calls Brother Ning in private, but he is more serious in public.

"Although Binacho is an overseas country, there is only one county. Ning Ze replied, "And there are no famous generals in China, so it is not difficult to win." Now Binachu surrendered, promising to pay monthly tribute of ore and armor, and our ordnance had no worries. There are also Binachus soldiers to drive and fight with the princes of the world!"

"Military advisor," Chu Meiren stepped forward and said to him slightly apologetically, "Xiaguan was responsible for attacking the surrounding counties, but the battlefield changed rapidly, and he failed to take Dan County and Tong County. Now Ju County, Ba County, and Tuluhe County jointly captured Wuduo, but Yang Ran burned the military rations and had to retreat to Wuduo County. Liang Taishou could only retreat to Danhua Pass. The failure to defeat Yang Ran and capture the surrounding counties was an omission on the part of the lower officials......"

"This can't be blamed on Lord Chu," Liu Yuanxiang said, "There is nothing wrong with Master Ji's strategy, but it is just that Wei Yi cannot be expected to appear and lead his private soldiers to relieve the siege of Danjun." I didn't expect that Yang Ran had a resourceful person around him, and he repeatedly offered advice to break the coalition army. If the Lord of Chu went out with the army, he would definitely be able to see through the enemy's strategy. It's just that the Lord of Chu remembers that as a female official, she has no power to restrain the chicken, and it is too dangerous to go on the expedition with the army, not to mention that the Duke of Chu will not agree. ”

I haven't seen her for almost a month, Liu Yuanxiang and Chu Meiren seem to get along well, and they will speak for her.

At the beginning, she had eaten Chu Meiren flying vinegar.

Presumably Chu Meiren's performance during this period of time has been recognized by Liu Yuanxiang, right? Her intelligence and internal affairs attributes are very high, and she will definitely be able to help Liu Yuanxiang a lot. Although Liu Yuanxiang's attributes are very poor, there is no problem in terms of available people, and with the characteristics of benevolence, it is normal to trust and maintain Chu Meiren.

"The battlefield is changing in a hurry. Ning Ze said with a smile, "Lord Chu doesn't have to blame himself! The lord doesn't need to worry, just the next official brought Binaqiu soldiers, plus five thousand soldiers and horses from our county, a total of fifteen thousand." Just lead the troops to reinforce Liang Taishou, help him capture the two counties of Dantong, take the four counties of Wuduo, Ju, Ba and Tuluhe, and take Jinzhou as the foundation for you!"

"The military advisor has just returned from the Binaqiu Kingdom, why don't you go back to the city to rest for a few days first?" Liu Yuanxiang was a little worried, "It just so happens that the main palace also wants to know what the military advisor has done in the Binaqiu Kingdom in this month." ”

"Lord, our army has received strong reinforcements, and it is time to take this opportunity to go on the expedition!" Ning Ze said, "If Yang Ran learns about it, he will be on guard, and it will not be beneficial for me to hold on at that time! Only by sending troops now can we take it down in one fell swoop! The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again! Wait for the lower officials to obtain the remaining six counties of Jinzhou for the lord, and then slowly report on the affairs of Binachu Kingdom. ”

"Strategist, the subordinate is willing to go with you!" Chu Meiren asked for his life.

Ning Ze smiled at her and shook his head: "Lord Chu, you need to stay in Huajun to assist the lord, and official affairs in the city are also very important." Huajun is stable, and the official can conquer with peace of mind. ”

"The military advisor is reasonable!" Liu Yuanxiang immediately said, "During this time, the affairs of the city were handed over to the Chu lord, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. If there is no Chu Master's Record, the palace will feel inconvenient. What's more, Duke Chu's side will never agree. ”

These words came from the heart, of course, there was another idea in my heart, and I was not very happy to let Chu Meiren follow Ning Ze on the expedition. Staying in Huajun by herself, she followed Ning Junshi around, thinking that the two of them might get along day and night, she was unwilling.

Hearing this, Chu Meiren looked at Ning Ze.

Ning Ze nodded and said, "Lord Chu still stays in the city to assist the lord, if you can, try to persuade and recruit the lord of Chu." ”

"Father's side, even I can't convince me!" Chu Meiren shook her head and sighed.

"Anyway, let's try it! Duke Chu can stay in Huajun for Lord Chu, which shows that he loves his daughter. Try a few more times, maybe you'll be convinced?" Ning Ze said with a smile.

"This ......" Chu Meiren lowered her head and thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Since the military advisor said so, the lower officer will try his best." ”

"That's right!" Ning Ze turned to Liu Yuanxiang with a smile, "Lord, the lower official will bring troops to reinforce Liang Taishou, except for the grain and grass needed for this trip, the other materials will be sent by the lord to all the official warehouses." ”

"The country of Binaqiu is so rich, and it is willing to take out so many materials......" Liu Yuanxiang sighed.

"Because the new king Amr had to rely on the strength of our army, the lower officials naturally took the opportunity to ask for more. Ning Ze said, "Moreover, Xia Guan has decided to include the Binaqiu Kingdom in the scope of operation of the Chamber of Commerce and use it as an overseas base for our army. The development of the country of Binachu is a continuous source of minerals for our army. ”

"Is Binaqiu Kingdom really taking refuge in this palace?" Liu Yuanxiang was a little worried, "If it's okay if it's sincere, I'm afraid that I'll stab you in the back when the time comes......"

"Don't worry, my lord!" Ning Ze replied, "Although at this moment, the Binaqiu Kingdom is forced to surrender out of desperation, as long as our army quickly occupies Jinzhou and shows its strength. At the same time, with the Chamber of Commerce to assist the development of the Binachu Kingdom, and give the other party enough benefits, I can make it die for my use!"

"Since the military advisor said so, this palace is relieved. Liu Yuanxiang nodded, "Safety is the most important thing on this trip, don't take risks! The loss of soldiers, horses, and military rations is not important, and the military advisor must return safely!"

Ning Ze's heart warmed: "Don't worry, the lord is a civil official, and he runs faster than anyone else." ”

Surrounding civil and military officials: "......"

They didn't dare to say this in front of the lord. is worthy of being a military advisor, and hearing him say this, the lord is not only angry, but also relieved.

Think about it, who can be as capable as a military advisor to consolidate Huajun for the lord, and also make the Binaqiu Kingdom submit, and pay such a huge amount of tribute and manpower, can get such treatment, right?

So Ning Ze did not enter the city, and directly led 5,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, plus 10,000 Binaqiu soldiers, and brought 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers to transport military rations, claiming to be 100,000 troops to advance to Danjun.

This is called psychological tactics, deliberately exaggerating the number of troops to frighten the enemy.

The psychological quality of the enemy army is poor, and those who are in a bad situation may directly surrender or abandon the city and flee, and those with good psychological quality will also be afraid. Even if the Lord is not afraid, it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates are not afraid, let alone the soldiers below and the people in the city.

As long as someone is afraid, there is a risk that they will cause chaos and make their situation even more disadvantaged.

Of course, there are also more powerful generals who can see through it directly, and quick pacification can make this strategy ineffective.

Although Liu Yuanxiang didn't want Ning Ze to go on the expedition as soon as he came back, there was no other way at the moment, and there were too few people under his command who could use it. If there is really someone who can go out on the expedition in place of him, he will definitely let Ning Ze stay in the city to rest for a few days, and by the way, talk to him about the affairs in the Binaqiu country during this time.

I haven't seen her for almost a month, but she has a lot to say!

Ning Ze led the troops to set off and soon arrived at Danhua Pass.

When Liang Teng learned this, he personally brought the generals over to greet him, with a smile on his face: "Master Ning, you are back!"

used to call him Little Brother Ning, but since he returned to Huajun, Ning Ze was appointed as a military advisor by Liu Yuanxiang, so he changed his name.

"Liang Taishou!" Ning Ze stepped forward and saluted, "I heard that there was a situation here, and the lower officials rushed to support without stopping." I just brought 10,000 soldiers from the country of Binachu, you and I will join forces together, and then we will meet Yang Ran!"

"Yang Ran has a strategist Yang Ying under him, who is his uncle. Liang Teng said, "This person is quite resourceful, he designed to rob our army of food, and burned the grain and grass of the three counties, which is not easy to deal with! A militia leader Wei Yi emerged in the city of Dan County, who was young and had superior force, and brought 3,000 private soldiers to assist Yang Ran. At this moment, I will unite with Yang Ran before and after, and I can't fight him!"

"Taishou doesn't need to worry, Xia Guan will help you break through the two counties of Dantong, and take the other four counties of Jinzhou by the way. Ning Ze said, "Please send someone to Danjun to hype up, just say that Huajun sent 100,000 reinforcements to take Danjun in one fell swoop." ”

"What does the military advisor mean by asking me to inform the enemy in advance?" Liang Teng was puzzled.

"Scare them!" Ning Ze said with a smile.

"Huh?" Liang Teng was confused, "This ......"

"Although Taishou sent people over," Ning Ze said, "Now Yang Ran has to defend the troops and horses of Ju County, Ba County, and Tuluhe County, and he has to guard against our army. Suddenly hearing that the 100,000 army is coming, they must be worried! And when the soldiers and horses of the three counties heard the news, their morale must be greatly boosted, and they only need to send someone to make an appointment with our army to attack Danjun, and the other party will storm Tong County, and Yang Ran will definitely panic when he is attacked by the enemy. At the same time, there are few soldiers in Danjun City, and they know that if they can't hold on, they will definitely fight. When the time comes, capture Wei Yi in front of the formation, and you can easily enter the city!"
