Chapter 398

"Good idea, read the full text!" Tang Yin thought Nie Ze's idea was good. Setting fire to the enemy's granary was indeed a strategy that could win with one blow.

He nodded and said to Letian and Ai Jia: "Send someone to find out about Pu Feng's situation and see if Pu Feng is collecting and hoarding food as General Nie expected."

"Yes, my king! I will send someone to find out!" Letian and Ai Jia both responded.

Let's not talk about the intelligence that Tianyan and Diwang went to find out about Pu Feng for the time being. Let's talk about the Pingyuan Army led by Xiao Muqing. Since Ze Ping entered Sishui County, he has been unstoppable all the way, and has successively conquered more than ten towns of the Mo Army. He fought from the east to the west of Sishui County, close to the border between Mo and Yu - Chilongtan.

Now the Jade Army is blocked by the Red Dragon Altar, and the army of more than 200,000 is blocked outside the Mo Kingdom. The task of the Pingyuan Army is not to capture a few towns in Sishui County, but to take down the Red Dragon Altar as soon as possible and help the Jade Army open the door to the Mo Kingdom.

The location of the Red Dragon Altar is unique, with a mountain behind it and on high ground. With a strong city defense, it can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, in the Red Dragon Altar City, the Mo Kingdom’s garrison has reached 120,000 or 30,000, including Wei Bo, the culprit who killed Lu She, and Peng Cheng, the head of Sishui County.

Now the Red Dragon Altar has been closed for a long time, and the Jade Army camp is located in the Jade Kingdom five miles west of the city. When the Pingyuan Army arrived at the Red Dragon Altar, it was stationed five miles east of the city, facing the Jade Camp across the city, sandwiching the Red Dragon Altar from the left and right.

Not long after the Pingyuan Army set up camp, the Jade Army’s envoy came. After seeing Xiao Muqing, he told him about the current situation.

The commander of the Jade Army is General Baili Tu of the Jade Kingdom, and under his command are the fierce general Shi Xiao, the generals Ai Zhe, Gao Yuan, etc. It can be said that the Jade Kingdom also dispatched an elite army, with both excellent commanders and skilled generals. Unfortunately, they have not been able to capture the Red Dragon Altar.

The reason for this is certainly related to the weak combat power of the Jade Army, but the road leading to the Red Dragon Altar is narrow, and the army is difficult to deploy, and they have to attack from the bottom, all of which put the attacking party in a great disadvantage.

The envoy of the Jade Kingdom introduced the situation, and then discussed with Xiao Muqing whether the two armies should agree on a time to jointly attack the Red Dragon Altar.

Xiao Muqing did not make a decision to attack immediately. He waved his hand and said, "No hurry! I need to get familiar with the environment of the Red Dragon Altar first, and then make deployments."

The Jade Kingdom envoy was not in a position to force it, but still said, "Our army has been blocked at the Red Dragon Altar for nearly two months, and the morale of the soldiers is getting lower and lower. If we can't capture this city, I'm afraid it will affect the fighting spirit of the entire army!"

Xiao Muqing nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sir. I won't delay too long. I will give you a reply within three days."

The Jade Kingdom envoy showed a happy expression and said, "That's great. I am relieved. General Xiao, I'll take my leave first!"

"Slow down, sir!" After Xiao Muqing sent the Jade Kingdom envoy away, he immediately gathered the spies of the Plain Army and the Sky Eye and Ground Net spies stationed in the Plain Army together, and asked them to explore around the Red Dragon Altar and draw a detailed topographic map.

Nothing happened that day. The next day, the spies sent out returned one after another, and at the same time, they also sent the topographic map of the Red Dragon Altar to Xiao Muqing.

The Red Dragon Altar is backed by the Red Dragon Mountain, which is high and steep, reaching the sky, so it is also nicknamed the "ladder to the sky". It is said that in ancient times, the Red Dragon Mountain was much higher than it is now, reaching the top of the sky. Later, in order to prevent mortals from ascending to the sky, the gods cut off the Red Dragon Mountain, and half of the mountain fell down, filling the bottomless Red Dragon Pond under the mountain. Later, people built a holy temple and altar in the pond, which became the prototype of the Red Dragon Altar.

Although these are all nonsense legends, it is not difficult to see from this that the Red Dragon Mountain is steep.

After listening to the reports of the spies, Xiao Muqing frowned. He originally had the fantasy of crossing the Red Dragon Mountain and attacking the Red Dragon Altar City, but now it seems unlikely. Of course, if it were so easy to cross the Red Dragon Mountain, the Jade Army might have done so long ago.

If they can't attack by surprise by climbing over the mountain, they can only attack from the front. However, the Jade Army of more than 200,000 people has been fighting for two months and still can't take down the Red Dragon Altar. Now can they take it down by themselves? Xiao Muqing didn't have much confidence in his heart.

When Xiao Muqing was embarrassed about how to attack the Red Dragon Altar, a spy suddenly reported that a citizen of the Mo Kingdom came to their camp and said that he wanted to see the general.

Xiao Muqing was stunned. A citizen of the Mo Kingdom wanted to see him? This was new. He nodded to the soldier who reported the news and said, "Bring him to see me."

"Yes! General!" The Feng Army soldier agreed and ran out of the central army tent quickly.

Not long after, accompanied by two Feng Army guards, a citizen of the Mo Kingdom covered with dust and grass stems walked in from outside. This man was about thirty years old and had a strong body, but his clothes were almost like a beggar.

After entering the big tent, he immediately knelt forward and said carefully: "I am Tan Liu, a humble man, to see General Xiao!"

Tan Liu? Xiao Muqing had never heard of his name, nor had he seen him. He asked, "I heard you want to see me, what's the matter?"

"I came to see General Xiao on the orders of my master."

"Who is your master?" Xiao Muqing asked patiently.

"This..." The man named Tan Liu looked around and didn't speak immediately.

Understanding what he meant, Xiao Muqing waved his hand and said, "Everyone here is my confidant. It doesn't matter if you say so."

"The owner of the villain is... Master Peng Chengpeng." Tan Liu's voice was so low that it was almost hard to hear.

Upon hearing the word Peng Cheng, Xiao Muqing's eyes immediately widened, and two sharp rays of light shot out, sweeping back and forth on Tan Liu's face and body. Tan Liu trembled with fright and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to take a breath.

Snapped! Xiao Muqing suddenly slammed the table, pointed at Tan Liu, and said: "The traitor Peng Cheng killed our country's loyal Lord Lu. I, Dafeng, have already forged an sworn hatred with him. We, the Feng people, wish we could break his bones and eat him." Rou, you idiot, since you have come to die for him, I will help you!"

"What are your orders, general?" Four Fengjun guards rushed in from outside the tent. Xiao Muqing pointed at Tan Liu and said: "Drag this thief out and smash his body to pieces!"

"Follow your orders!" The guards don't care who you are, they only act in accordance with military orders. People crowded around, picked up Tan Liu and walked out.

Tan Liu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he shouted like crazy: "General, spare your life, general, spare your life! Master Lu's death has nothing to do with my master, it was the result of an adulterer..."

Xiao Muqing was too lazy to listen to this and waved his hands distractedly, signaling the guards to drag him away quickly. The guards quickened their pace and dragged Tan Liu out of the central military tent like a dead dog.

"These people who don't know whether to live or die are really ridiculous!" Xiao Muqing shook his head and sneered.

The surrounding generals all laughed in unison and said, "If no one else is as stupid as this thief and comes to my camp and throws himself into a trap, then our army will have an easy time."

"General, this villain has a way to destroy the city..." At this time, Tan Liu shouted at the top of his lungs from outside the tent.

Yo? These words stirred Xiao Muqing's heart. He was stunned for a moment. He casually nodded to one of his generals and said, "Go quickly and bring Tan Liu back to me! Quick!"

The general Feng hurriedly agreed, threw off his legs, and rushed out in a hurry.

Within a few seconds, the Feng General returned, holding Tan Liu's collar and pulling him in. He threw Tan Liu to the ground and asked in a deep voice: "What did you just say? Say it again!"

"General...General..." Tan Liu knelt on the ground, his body trembling suddenly, sweating like rain, and even his clothes were soaked through.

He stammered: "You little man... I have a way to destroy the city. I have been ordered by my master to come... to tell the soldiers of the Feng Army... I just ask... I just ask you generals to let my master go." A way to survive..."

Now Xiao Muqing finally understood. No wonder Tan Liu was willing to throw himself into a trap. It turned out that he came to negotiate terms with Peng Cheng on his orders. "Do you really have a way to destroy the city?"

"Yes...yes, yes..."

"Then why didn't you go talk to Yujun and instead came to Fengjun? Yujun came much earlier than Fengjun."

"The main reason is that my master wants to... make up for his past mistakes..."

"Didn't you just say that Mr. Lu's death had nothing to do with your master?"

"It really doesn't matter, but... if my master could have noticed the traitor's trick earlier, Mr. Lu would... not have died."

"Who is the traitor you are talking about?"

"That's the northwest patrol envoy, Uncle Wei."

"Uncle Wei? What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

Tan Liu did not dare to mess around and told the story of how Uncle Wei used Peng Cheng and how he killed Lu She. Finally, he burst into tears and said: "General, my master really had no intention of harming Mr. Lu, but sincerely wanted to take refuge in Dafeng. It was only because of the cunning and cunning of the traitor Uncle Wei that Mr. Lu died unexpectedly, and also my master. The thought of surrender has come to an end without any problem, the general has learned clearly, the general has seen clearly!”

Ah, so that’s it! What Tan Liu said was reasonable and reasonable, and there was no wandering eyes or evasive words when he spoke. It seemed that what he said was true. In fact, Xiao Muqing has always been curious. How could Lu She, with such a shrewd mind, be killed by the unknown Peng Cheng. Now after listening to Tan Liu's words, he finally found the answer. Peng Cheng was just a person who was taken advantage of. It's just a cover, the real mastermind is Wei Bo, the northwest patrol envoy of Mo State.

Already convinced in his heart, Xiao Muqing still said: "How do you make me believe what you said?"

"My master's willingness to offer the means to destroy the city is enough to prove my master's surrender." Tan Liu said urgently.
