Chapter 454: A Good Trick to Hide the Truth
When Kang Luo heard what the scout said, his first reaction was that it was impossible, and his second reaction was that he heard it wrong.
"Can you say that again!"
The scout said: "Fourth Prince, the sword entrance has been lost!"
Like a blast of thunder exploding in his ears, Kang Luo's head buzzed.
He stared at the scout, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Fourth Prince, the news is absolutely true. The Jianxuan Pass has been breached by Ning Chen's men, and Daxuan's battle flag has been planted on the city wall."
Kangluo's mind was buzzing.
How can this be?
Daxuan didn't even send troops, how could he possibly capture Jianxuan Pass?
Could it be that the 20,000 garrison at Jianxuanguan rebelled?
But this is impossible. The 20,000 garrison troops are all his people and there is no way they could rebel.
"The general wants to see the fourth prince!"
"At the end of the day, I have important military information and I want to see you."
Outside the tent, the voice of the South Vietnamese general rang out.
Kang Luo said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
A group of generals rushed in in panic.
"Fourth Prince, we just received news that the sword entrance has been lost."
"The general has also received the news that the sword entrance has been breached."
Kang Luo's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
what happened?
Who on earth broke through the sword entrance?
He has sent troops to guard the road leading to Jianxuan Pass. If it was Daxuan's men, how could he not get any news at all?
If you want to break through the sword entrance, you will need at least 50,000 troops.
Kang Luo was completely confused.
This is incredible.
...
At this time, Daxuan was here.
"Emergency military information...Emergency military information..."
Tong Yuanzhou's deputy general, Zhang Tianhua, ran wildly through the military camp while shouting loudly.
The officers and soldiers looked shocked, what happened?
Could it be that South Vietnam is coming?
At this time, Tong Yuanzhou and others were in Ning Chen's tent.
Ning Chen suddenly summoned them.
But after they arrived, Ning Chen remained silent and didn't say a word.
Wei Feng couldn't bear it any longer, "Master Hou called us here, what do you mean? We all have important things to do. Please clarify it as soon as possible."
Others nodded.
Calling them to come but not saying a word, isn't this a waste of time?
"Report... General Zhang Tianhua, please see the Marquis and report urgent military information!"
Ning Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stretched, "Finally here!"
"Come in!"
Zhang Tianhua walked in, a little breathless because he ran too fast just now.
Wei Feng couldn't help but ask: "What's the military situation? Is the South Vietnamese army coming?"
Zhang Tianhua held a piece of paper in his hand, and his voice trembled with excitement, "Fei Ge passed the message, the sword entrance in South Vietnam was breached by us."
Everyone present was shocked and froze on the spot.
Has the sword entrance been breached?
is it possible?
Wei Feng couldn't help but said: "General Zhang, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Tianhua said excitedly: "General Wei, the sword entrance has really been breached."
"What crazy talk are you talking about? We didn't even send troops. Who broke through the sword entrance?"
"It's Wu Tiezhu. He led his men to break through the Jianxuan Pass."
Everyone looked confused.
Who is Wu Tiezhu?
Never heard of it.
Only Pan Yucheng and the others looked at Ning Chen in astonishment.
Ning Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Wu Tiezhu is my subordinate."
Fang Zhengqing and others looked at Ning Chen in astonishment.
Ning Chen walked over, took a look at the note in Zhang Tianhua's hand, and smiled.
He said slowly: "You are busy with military affairs and have many things to do. Didn't you realize that my Ning'an Army is missing five thousand people?"
Everyone was shocked.
Ning Chen said: "I sent Wu Tiezhu to lead five thousand Ning'an troops to attack Jianxuan Pass, while I stayed here to hold Kang Luo's men...Wu Tiezhu did not let me down."
Everyone present was confused.
Wei Feng couldn't help but said: "This is impossible, there have been no troops leaving the border recently."
Fang Zhengqing couldn't help but said: "The lower official is the supervisor of the army. Although he is in a humble position, the deployment of troops and horses must be approved by the lower official... The lower official has not seen any transfer orders recently."
Ning Chen looked at him, "Fang Jianjun is such a noble man and forgets things. You know how to mobilize troops and horses."
"I know?" Fang Zhengqing shook his head, "The official has not seen the transfer order from the Marquis."
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Think about it again... It was the time when I met Kang Luo last time and turned back halfway."
Fang Zhengqing's head buzzed.
He looked at Ning Chen in disbelief, "Did not all of Marquis's Ning'an army return at that time?"
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Yes, that's when I sent Wu Tiezhu to lead five thousand Ning'an troops to attack Jianxuan Pass."
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Fang Zhengqing's face turned pale.
Only then did he realize that he had been fooled.
He finally understood why Ning Chen agreed to meet Kang Luo but turned back halfway?
Conspiracy, naked conspiracy.
They were all set up.
Ning Chen didn't even think about meeting Kang Luo. The reason why he led his army out of the border was to cover the departure of the five thousand Ning'an troops.
Those scouts were also arranged by Ning Chen in advance.
All this is Ning Chen's trick.
At that time, he received news that the South Vietnamese troops were divided into four groups and wanted to outflank them. Ning Chen ordered to return immediately. The war was in chaos... Ning Chen's 5,000 Ning'an troops quietly left at that time.
After returning, the army returned to camp.
Ning Chen's Ning'an Army has its own independent military camp, which is inaccessible to outsiders.
Moreover, everyone's eyes were focused on Ning Chen, and with the presence of generals such as Yuan Long and Lei An, no one noticed that the Ning'an army was missing 5,000 men.
Ning Chen held the note between his fingers, looked at Tong Yuanzhou, and said with a smile: "Thank you, General Tong, for the carrier pigeon that allowed us to receive this good news so quickly."
Tong Yuanzhou opened his mouth with a look of disbelief on his face.
When Ning Chen asked him to lie about the military situation, he thought Ning Chen was greedy for life and afraid of death.
What a trick to conceal the truth.
"General Tong, remember I said that I will give you a surprise within ten days... Is General Tong satisfied with this surprise?"
Tong Yuanzhou's face turned red with excitement, "Master Hou has a clever plan and uses his troops like a god. I will admire him in the end!"
"Impossible, this is impossible..." Wei Feng shouted, "How can it be possible to capture Jianxuan Pass with fifty million? There are 20,000 South Vietnamese troops stationed in Jianxuan Pass."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean Ning Chen can't do it."
Feng Qizheng paused and sneered: "Have you never heard of Ning Chen's record of leading a thousand men to kill the Royal Court of Beidu? And how he once used a thousand men to destroy Fuzhou City?"
Chen Chong had a look of disdain on his face, "How can Ning Chen become a general and become a marquis if you don't know how to fight with others?"
"The fact that you are so shocked only shows that you have little knowledge... Ning Chen's greatest ability is to turn decay into magic and make the impossible possible."
Wei Fengfang looked angry and said: "Okay, even if five thousand Ning'an troops can capture Jianxuan Pass...how did they cross Foshou Mountain? Could it be that they can't fly?"
"Can't you figure it out?" Feng Qizheng's face was full of confusion. "You can't think of it, and the enemy can't think of it either... This just proves that Ning Chen is an expert in using troops. This one move is enough for you to learn for a lifetime."
