Chapter 888 Entering the City
Ning Chen still has feelings for Daxuan.
To be precise, he had deep feelings for Emperor Xuan.
Emperor Xuan worked diligently to make the prosperous age of Daxuan peaceful.
Although Daxuan is now in devastation, he does not want Daxuan to be completely reduced to ruins.
If we can win Liangzhou at the minimum cost, that would naturally be the best.
Next, it’s up to Yuan Long and King Wu!
...
Song Gaozhuo and the soldiers of Lingzhou City spent two days in fear.
These two days have been so difficult for them!
Ning Chen stood still. They didn't know when Ning Chen would attack the city, so they could only be vigilant at all times.
In the past two days, Song Gaozhuo only slept for two or three hours, and he did not sleep well... He woke up from nightmares several times. He dreamed that Ning Chen broke through the city gate and entered Liangzhou City.
On the third day, Ning Chen still remained motionless.
It was late at night, but Song Gaozhuo did not dare to close his eyes.
At this time, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent.
"General Song, reinforcements have arrived!"
Hearing the sound of the scouts outside, Song Gaozhuo's groggy head suddenly woke up because he had not rested for a long time.
His face was full of surprise, he stood up and strode outside the tent.
He looked at the scout who came to report and couldn't hide his excitement, "What did you say?"
The scout said: "Back to General, the envoy has returned from Yangzhou... Master Wu has brought back 50,000 reinforcements!"
Song Gaozhuo was startled for a moment. He originally thought that the Eastern Border Army had arrived, but he did not expect that it was the South Vietnamese reinforcements.
But soon he looked ecstatic.
Whether it is the Eastern Frontier Army or the South Vietnamese Army, it is timely rain for him at this time.
There are more than 70,000 troops stationed in Liangzhou, plus the South Vietnamese army of 50,000...an army of 120,000, which is definitely capable of fighting Ning Chen's 100,000 troops.
"Where are the reinforcements?"
The scout said: "We are already ten miles outside the south city gate."
Song Gaozhuo couldn't hide his excitement and hurriedly said: "Let's go and meet the reinforcements!"
Song Gaozhuo led a group of troops and went straight to the south gate.
Not long after Song Gaozhuo left, King Xiang came.
"Inform General Song that I have something to discuss with him!"
The guard outside the tent said: "Your Majesty, General Song has just gone to meet the reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements?"
The guard said: "Master Wu has invited fifty thousand South Vietnamese reinforcements from Yangzhou."
Prince Xiang's face darkened a little bit.
Yangzhou is his fiefdom.
South Vietnam occupied Yangzhou, forcing him to retreat to Liangzhou.
Now, Daxuan actually wants to cooperate with South Vietnam... What a shame, a shame!
...
On the other side, Song Gaozhuo led people to the South City Gate and climbed onto the tower.
It didn't take long, and all I could hear was the clattering of armor and the neighing of war horses.
The horses' hooves clank and the ground trembles.
Song Gaozhuo's eyes were filled with ecstasy... Reinforcements are coming!
But he still had some brains and kept an eye out, and did not go out of the city to greet him immediately.
The 50,000-strong army slowed down its march and came to the city, with the South Vietnamese battle flag fluttering in the wind.
A soldier stepped forward and shouted towards the city: "We are the Daxuan envoy, and we are sent to Yangzhou to ask for help... Lord Wu has lived up to his grace and invited fifty thousand reinforcements to open the city gate quickly."
Song Gaozhuo shouted: "Master Wu, please come forward and speak."
Wu Congzhou, dressed in official clothes, rode up to the city on horseback, followed by a man in silver armor and with a fierce aura... This man was none other than Lei An.
Yuan Long used to be in the Weilong Army, and Song Gaozhuo knew him...so he disguised himself as a South Vietnamese soldier and mingled with the army.
Lei An used to serve in the Changling Army, and Song Gaozhuo didn't know him, so it was most appropriate for him to pretend to be Ruan Yingxun.
Wu Congzhou looked up at the city and said, "General Song, I was ordered to go to Yangzhou to discuss the alliance... Fortunately, we have fulfilled our orders and the alliance has been reached."
Song Gaozhuo took a closer look and found that it was indeed Wu Congzhou.
When Wu Congzhou went to Yangzhou, he stayed in Liangzhou for a few days, and they drank wine more than once.
Wu Congzhou pointed at Lei An and said: "General Song, this is General Ruan Yingxun, the general under the command of the Crown Prince of South Vietnam."
Song Gaozhuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Lei An.
Leian raised his head, with a proud look on his face, and said in a weird voice: "You Daxuan people are very verbose. I, the general, have been on a bumpy journey, and I am exhausted and hungry... Why don't you open the city gate quickly and welcome me in."
Song Gaozhuo frowned.
Wu Congzhou said with a smile: "General Ruan, calm down!"
After finishing his words, he looked towards the top of the city, "General Song, open the city gate quickly... This officer's body has been torn apart by this rapid march. Now I just want to eat and drink enough, and have a good sleep."
Song Gaozhuo observed the South Vietnamese army.
Wu Congzhou was ordered to go to Yangzhou to discuss alliance matters with South Vietnam. These people seemed to have no problem.
Song Gaozhuo waved his hand, "Open the city gate!"
The heavy city gate slowly opened!
Song Gaozhuo led people down to the city to greet him.
Lei An lowered his voice: "Master Wu, you have to do something wrong!"
Wu Congzhou's face was full of flattery, "What the general promised me before..."
Leian cursed secretly, and then said indifferently: "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, your life will be saved!"
"Thank you, General!"
Leian didn't say anything, but his heart was full of disdain. These trashes have no backbone at all... De Emperor's men are all a bunch of losers. What kind of people raise what kind of dogs.
Song Gaozhuo came out with his people.
"Master Wu, General Ruan, please enter the city!"
Wu Congzhou was all smiles, "Thank you, General Song!"
"What did Mr. Wu say? You are the one who really deserves credit for your hard work... To be honest, Ning Chen has led an army of 100,000 to the city and is stationed outside the north city gate. I really have trouble sleeping and eating these days.
Master Wu invited reinforcements, which was a timely blessing for us. "
After listening to Song Gaozhuo's words, Wu Congzhou was shocked, with fear in his eyes, "Ning Chen has already arrived at the city?"
Song Gaozhuo nodded.
Wu Congzhou looked at Lei An subconsciously.
Lei An looked arrogant and snorted with disdain: "Little Ning Chen, there is nothing to be afraid of... When our South Vietnamese army is fed and drunk, I, the general, will personally meet this Ning Chen."
Your Majesty, this is acting. You can't hold grudges or settle your debts with me... Leian said quietly in his heart.
Even Song Gaozhuo was shocked by Lei An's words about "little Ning Chen"... These South Vietnamese people really have bad breath than athlete's foot. The scars are so healed that they forget about the pain. Have they forgotten about the loss they suffered at Ning Chen's hands?
Leian said impatiently: "Enter the city quickly, I am almost exhausted!"
Wu Congzhou smiled flatteringly, "General Ruan, please!"
Leian gave the order and the army entered the city.
When the army enters the city, the city gate will be closed immediately!
Song Gaozhuo personally led the way and led the 50,000 South Vietnamese army towards the military camp in the city.
Arrive in front of the camp.
Song Gaozhuo pointed to an open space and said to Lei An: "General Ruan, can you trouble the South Vietnamese soldiers to set up camp here?"
Lei An hummed and then said: "General Song, our South Vietnamese army has been running all the way and is exhausted. Let your people help set up camp."
Song Gaozhuo was startled and his face sank slightly. Was he treating his Daxuan generals as coolies?
This is Daxuan Liangzhou. How dare these South Vietnamese people turn against the foreigners?
