Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

"This city is a bit desolate..."

Zhao Yun, who was following behind, looked at the newly reinforced city wall and said solemnly.

"With such a city, it will be difficult to resist Liu Bei's alliance army!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rong immediately turned around and asked.

"Oh? Has there been any news recently?"

"There is no change in Liu Bei's coalition army. Since the last retreat, the coalition army of the 36 countries has all been stationed on the only way out of the west!"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, a hint of surprise appeared on his face immediately. "However... this Liu Bei is really strange. According to the news from Sima Yi, the governor of Liangzhou, before our army set off, the alliance army was still ready to make a move and vowed not to return until we broke the city. But when we left Yumen Pass, Liu Bei unexpectedly

Then led the army to withdraw back! "

Zhao Yun looked at Ning Rong's face, trying to find the answer on his face.

but……

Ning Rong just smiled, as if he didn't care about it. "Hey! What's the matter? Let me tell you that Liu Bei must have been afraid of Lord Hou. Back then, Lord Hou led his brothers across the world. He never fought any evil battles. So many heroes and heroes fell under the sword of the Beifu army." Souls of the dead, Liu Bei now has

Why be afraid! "

Liu Ruo, the commander of the Beifu cavalry, followed behind.

"Makes sense!"

Zhao Yun nodded subconsciously when he heard this.

Maybe... that's really the reason, Liu Bei is afraid of Ning Xiaodi.

"Ha ha……"

Ning Rong still smiled indifferently, but this time there was a trace of disdain on his face.

"Your words are not wrong, but they are not the main reason!"

"Could it be that there are other reasons for Liu Bei's failure?" Zhao Yun was startled when he heard this.

"Of course! Because Liu Bei never thought of confronting us!"

"That's impossible? Although Liu Bei has retreated, his alliance army is strictly guarding and preparing troops every day. It is completely a confrontational posture!"

Zhao Yun shook his head and retorted, years of experience in the army told him that Liu Bei would never stop there!

"Ok!"

Ning Rong nodded lightly, as he recognized Zhao Yun's statement.

"To be exact, Liu Bei chose the battlefield, but he didn't choose the time for the war!"

Ning Rong's voice continued to sound, but the people behind him were even more confused.

"Do you know the origin of this city?" Ning Rong pointed to the loess city under his feet and asked everyone.

"There should have been people living here before, but perhaps they couldn't stand the harsh environment later, so they moved to another place!"

Liu Ruoruo said thoughtfully, when the army first arrived, he was the one who led the Beifu army to clean up the city, so he knew more about the situation than others.

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions!"

Ning Rong nodded and shook his head, saying each word with a pause. "This used to be the capital guard city under the Western Regions Protectorate. The prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty was not only written in the history books, but also the witness of the Western Han Dynasty. control,

In order to protect the gates of the west, he ordered the troops stationed in the Western Regions to build the Protectorate Mansion, and serve as a school lieutenant to garrison the land and calm the people! "

"It's just a pity..."

While talking, Ning Rong stretched out his hand to pat the stone pillar with deep ravines, looked into the distance with awe-inspiring eyes, and continued to speak with emotion on his face.

"This city only existed for more than 60 years. Later, when the power of the Loulan Kingdom expanded, just in time for the death of the first emperor, the energy of the dynasty was not in the Western Regions. This led to a lack of follow-up power, and was taken advantage of by Loulan and other small countries!"

"Later, when the central plains were settled and Han Li, the new governor of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, came here, he used tough methods to kill Loulan and other small countries and fled westward!"

"The blood of the ancestors is preserved in this city, and their spirit is here. Although they have been dead for a hundred years, their souls have been watching here all the time. Thinking about it, they don't want people from the Western Regions to step into the Central Plains! "

Ning Rong's voice suddenly became deeper, and he turned to look at the few people in front of him.

Zhao Yun, the left leader General Wei who followed him.

Liu Ruo, the cavalry commander general of one of the six armies of Beifu.

Zhang Yue, the daughter of Zhang Jiao, the virtuous teacher of the great Liang, once led the Yellow Turban Bandit soaring across Qingyan and Qingzhou, and was in the limelight for a while.

Ning Wu, the child taken in by Ning Rong back then, has now grown into an iron-blooded man, this time he is the one who commanded the Ning family's personal guards to accompany Ning Rong on the expedition.

Zhou Buyi, a young genius from Jingzhou and a high-achieving student in the academy, was brought to the Western Regions by Ning Rong.

And... there are some recruits in the Ning family's personal guards. They are all the nephews of those veterans, but with the passage of time, some veterans' physical strength can no longer support the long-distance expedition.

"Ning Wu, you said... Is what Benhou said right?"

Ning Rong's eyes suddenly became cold, staring closely at Ning Wu and asked.

"Ok?"

Everyone was surprised by Ning Rong's sudden question.

You must know that Ning Wu and them are also old acquaintances, speaking of Ning Wu, they watched him grow up.

But it is precisely because of this that they feel weird, because Ning Wu's temperament has always been taciturn.

But don't know...

"You don't know either?"

Ning Rong looked at the silent Ning Wu, and didn't think about letting him go.

"Hou... Lord Hou..."

A flash of panic flashed in Ning Wu's eyes, and then he tightened his hand holding the knife, and then he calmed down again.

Zhao Yun's eyes flickered, he moved forward calmly, and slowly placed his right hand on the hilt of the Qingzhi sword.

"It's been more than 20 years since you came to Ning Mansion, right?" Ning Rong shook his head in disappointment.

"25 years and three months!" Ning Wu said suddenly and seriously.

"Oh! It turns out that you also counted the days to come here!" Ning Rong said with a helpless sigh.
