Chapter 957 Ruan Wei
Ning Chen's words made everyone fall into deep thought.
But soon, everyone's expressions darkened and they were filled with anger.
With so much wood, some soldiers still froze to death.
That could only mean that someone deliberately froze the soldiers to death in order to lure them into taking the bait.
What a cruel method.

At this time, on the top of the mountain, Leng Wenyan's men realized that their ruse had been seen through, and they simply stopped pretending.
As long as they are blocked here, Ning Chen's army will not be able to get past.
This time, the leader was Ruan Wei.
Ruan Wei is Leng Wenyan's confidant.
This time, he led an army of 30,000 men. His purpose was not to defeat Ning Chen, but to delay Ning Chen's march.
Leng Wenyan knew very well that he could never be Ning Chen's opponent.
Xiliang agreed to send troops to help.
He needed to slow down Ning Chen's march and wait for Xiliang's support... so he sent two groups of troops.
Ambush all the way in the Wangfeng Mountains.
Ambush here all the way.
Ruan Wei and Leng Wenyan are the same kind of people, they are ruthless and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
At this time, Ruan Wei's face was ashen.
Unexpectedly, his plan was discovered by Ning Chen.
He led his men to ambush Ning Chen here, but he didn't expect a sudden heavy snowfall.
The top of the mountain was full of wind and snow, and the temperature was horribly low. If they didn't retreat in time, they would freeze to death here.
But he was unwilling to retreat, let alone miss this opportunity.
Ning Chen is known as the Daxuan God of War and an ever-victorious general who has never been defeated on the battlefield.
If he could defeat Ning Chen once, he would be famous all over the world.
Therefore, he came up with an extremely cruel idea, which was to sacrifice some people and protect others.
As long as half of the soldiers' cotton uniforms are taken out and stuffed into the other half of the soldiers' cotton uniforms, they can withstand the severe cold.
One general's success and ten thousand bones withered!
For his own reputation and future prosperity, he killed ten thousand soldiers.
As long as he can defeat Ning Chen's army and make himself famous all over the world, no matter how many people he sacrifices, it will be worth it.
But what he didn't expect was that Ning Chen saw through his plan.
...
At the bottom of the mountain, Ning Chen stationed the army.
It's getting late and it's not appropriate to march any further!
Ning Chen sent dozens of soldiers to shout to the top of the mountain: "People above, listen, you leaders are evil-minded. You have so many mulberry trees, lighting one can save many lives.
But for his own benefit, he froze to death so many people, he was simply worse than a beast.
If you follow someone with such a vicious mind, aren't you afraid that he will kill you sooner or later?
The regent is kind and does not tolerate our compatriots killing each other. As long as you capture the leader, abandon your weapons and surrender, you will not be held accountable for your actions!
If you resist stubbornly, the Prince Regent will personally lead his troops to climb the mountain tomorrow morning, but he will kill them all and leave no one behind!
Da Xuan'erlang, the regent's order to quell the rebellion this time is for the people of Xiguan City. If you refuse to surrender and help the tyrants, you will definitely die! "
Dozens of people shouted in unison over and over again, the sound shaking the sky.
King Wu looked at Ning Chen, "Is this useful?"
Ning Chen nodded slightly and said: "The teacher is strong when he is straight, and he is old when he is crooked!
We are here to save the people of Xiguan City, and we have a good reputation.
The leader on the top of the mountain is ruthless. No matter how covert he is, there are so many lives right in front of him, and he can't cover everyone's eyes.
As the saying goes, a soldier becomes weak if he loses the right way, but becomes strong if he gains the right way.
Once the soldiers become dissatisfied with him, their morale will inevitably plummet, and the leader will not have an easy time either. "
King Wu nodded slightly, "I have been taught!"
.......
On the top of the mountain, Ruan Wei's face was uglier than his dead parents.
Because of Ning Chen's words, the soldiers became suspicious.
Everyone was wearing the same cotton military uniform, so why did so many people freeze to death?
Listening to the shouts at the bottom of the mountain, the soldiers whispered.
Ruan Wei's face was livid and he roared angrily: "Soldiers, don't stop Ning Chen's evil words to deceive the public.
This time, as long as we block Ning Chen here and wait for the Xiliang army to support us, I will go back and ask for your credit personally, General.
The sacrifice of the soldiers will not be in vain. Their families are supported by King Wen. "
At this time, a burly general stood up.
His name is Si Xiuyong.
This time Ruan Wei was the leader and he was the assistant.
"General soft, my subordinates don't understand why so many people froze to death overnight when all the soldiers wore the same cotton uniforms?"
Ruan Wei gave him a sinister look.
Because he used the excuse of re-issuing cotton military uniforms to collect these people's cotton military uniforms, and then took away most of the cotton... And these people who froze to death had their cotton-padded uniforms stuffed with horse food. hay.
As for those who survived, a lot of cotton was added to their cotton-padded clothes.
Ruan Wei said in a deep voice: "General Si, are you questioning me?
Everyone was wearing the same cotton uniforms. They were freezing to death. It can only be said that their lives were bad and their health was too poor.
General Si, you and I were ordered to intercept Ning Chen's army. If you say such slanderous words to slander me and shake the morale of the army again, don't blame me for being rude to you! "
Si Xiuyong said nothing again!
This matter is indeed a bit strange, but he has no evidence yet.
If you continue to ask questions, it will indeed shake the morale of the military.
Ruan Wei said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, as long as we can stop Ning Chen's army this time, King Wen will not treat us badly when we return.
High positions, generous salaries, splendor and wealth, endless enjoyment!
Now, everyone, be alert and prevent Ning Chen from passing through the lookout at night. "
Money is attractive!
When the soldiers heard about high positions, generous salaries, splendor and wealth, their eyes lit up.
Si Xiuyong came to the pile of rolling stones and fallen wood and checked them carefully.
These are the confidence they have to stop Ning Chen's army, and they can't afford any mistakes.
Just then, one of his trusted men came over quietly and said in a low voice: "General Si, this general, this general..."
Seeing that the other party was hesitating, Si Xiuyong said impatiently: "Speak directly, when did you become hesitant?"
The latter hesitated and said: "General Si, why don't you see it with your own eyes? "
The latter brought Si Xiuyong to a soldier who had frozen to death and cut open his cotton military coat with a knife.
When Si Xiuyong saw the hay exposed in the cotton military coat, he froze.
He trembled all over, squatted down, put his hand into the cotton military coat cut by the knife, and trembled to take out a handful of hay.
"General Si, I accidentally discovered that the cotton coats worn by the frozen brothers were all hay, and there was very little cotton. "
Si Xiuyong's face was extremely ugly, and he checked the cotton coats on the other bodies. Without exception, they were all full of hay.
"How could this be? How could this be..."
"General Si, General Ruan had someone take away the cotton coats the night before, saying that they were re-issued. Could it be..."
Si Xiuyong's eyes were red.
"Let's go and ask him clearly. "
The confidant quickly stopped Si Xiuyong, "General Si, it's not appropriate to force it... I found that most of the people who survived were General Ruan's personal soldiers. "
