I'm the villain in the book

Suddenly, Ning Yongnian finally stopped hesitating and reached out to another location on the map: "Let him go to the Jinyuan line instead."

"Jin Yuan?"

Li Huaizhong glanced at the map in surprise, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the army has been marching for half a day now, if it turns around at this time, it may greatly affect the marching speed."

"In addition, the Jinyuan line is a little far away, so it may take several days for the army to reach Shuzhou City at night."

"A few days later, maybe a few days later."

Shaking his head, Ning Yongnian said calmly, "I don't want any accidents in Shuzhou."

"This... this old slave understands."

Now that Ning Yongnian has already made up his mind, Li Huaizhong naturally couldn't say anything more. After a pause, he asked again:

"Your Majesty, what should Feng Yuan do? Do you want to negotiate peace with Li Qi?"

"There must be talks, but they are not peace talks."

Ning Yongnian squinted his eyes: "Send an order to Wu Ding to escort Li Qi to Huailing Mansion immediately."

"Yes."

Li Huaizhong bowed his head when he heard the words, he already understood what Ning Yongnian was going to do.

Huailing Mansion is located on the border of Dafeng, and Yuanzhou is only separated by a Mang River and a piece of Western Desert Gobi.

Ning Yongnian obviously wanted to "negotiate" with Li Qi here.

Of course, now Dafeng has surrendered, and Li Qi is already stupid, so this is just "robbery" in the name of "negotiation"...

"emperor."

Looking at Ning Yongnian, Wei Xianzhi asked softly: "I wonder when you plan to go to Huailing Mansion?"

"No hurry, let Wu Ding escort Li Qi over first, just wait."

Ning Yongnian waved his hand and said casually: "That's right, when the time comes, tie Li Qi to the head of Huailing City, as long as he doesn't die."

"..."

Bind Li Qi to the head of the city?

Hearing this, Li Huaizhong couldn't help being taken aback.

Hanging people on the city wall to show the public is a common warning method, and it is generally used on criminals who have committed serious crimes such as treason and collaborating with the enemy.

But now Ning Yongnian actually wants to hang Li Qi on the top of the wall, which is clearly to humiliate you.

After all, although Dafeng surrendered, Li Qi is still the king of a country no matter what!

What's more, you want to hang other people's emperor on their territory? ?

"Your Majesty, this..."

Li Huaizhong opened his mouth hesitantly, as if he wanted to persuade Ning Yongnian to reconsider.

He didn't mean to pity Li Qi or anything, but he felt that this practice would undoubtedly arouse the anger of Dafeng's people, and it would be quite detrimental to the future taking over Dafeng's territory.

But Ning Yongnian directly interrupted:

"Just do it, I have a reason for doing this."

"Yes......"

The Adam's apple squirmed, and Li Huaizhong didn't speak again.

Because he suddenly understood who Ning Yongnian was going to show to by making such a show.

It's not Dafeng common people, nor the Wei family.

But Li Wutong.

......

......

At the time of Zi, it was fifty miles outside the city of Guanghan.

It started at night, and more than four hours have passed, and more than 20 troops have left Guanghan County and marched quickly towards Niutoushan.

The torch stretches like a fire dragon for several miles, illuminating the dense yellow armor on the road.

Of course, as the chief general, Han Zhao could not "run forward" or ride horses with the ordinary soldiers, but sat firmly on the large carriage and discussed with the lieutenants how to capture Shuzhou City as quickly as possible.

Although Han Zhao knew that there was a high probability that he would not even be able to see the shadow of Shuzhou City, he still had to pretend.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a messenger came galloping from behind, holding a small iron cylinder sealed with wax in his hand.

"Report to the general! Secret report from the capital!"

"Ah."

Han Zhao lifted the curtain of the car, reached out the window to take the iron cylinder, and saw the three dragon patterns printed on the wax paint at a glance.

Three lines means that this is the highest level of secret report, except for him and the messenger who received the information, the rest of the people will not know the content for the time being.

This was the first time he had received a secret report from Sanwen since the start of the Battle of Shuzhou.

The pupils contracted slightly, and Han Zhao suddenly had a bad feeling.

He didn't open it in a hurry, but ordered all the lieutenants to leave the carriage, and slowly unscrewed the small iron cylinder after he was the only one left in the sedan chair.

Shaking out the paper, he looked down.

Han Zhao's expression suddenly froze for a moment, and then he hurriedly put the note back into the iron tube, and took out a piece of mother-of-pearl jade from his bosom to send a message to Wei Changtian.

Chapter 473

"Applause!!!"

The bright moon is in the sky, and the sky is full of stars.

The maroon horse suddenly raised its front hooves high, and stopped abruptly on the empty official road. Wei Changtian on the horse had a look of astonishment on his face.

In his left hand he held the Zimu Jade which was still warm, and in his right hand he held a new codebook.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the dark night behind him, and then turned his head to look at the road ahead, his expression turned green and then white.

Nima!

It has been four hours since the imperial army set out, but Ning Yongnian suddenly asked Han Zhao to go to Jinyuan at this time? ?

what's going on? ?

Could it be that Ning Yongnian sensed something wrong with Han Zhao? ?

But it's impossible.

All of Han Zhao's decisions so far have been quite satisfactory, and there have been no mistakes.

And if Ning Yongnian really doubts Han Zhao, he should directly remove the latter from his position as chief general...

So, is Ning Yongnian worried that there may be problems on the front line of Niutoushan?

Fuck!Are you so cautious? !

Opening his mouth slightly, Wei Changtian's head suddenly became dizzy.

But right now, it doesn't matter why Ning Yongnian made this decision suddenly.

The most important thing is what to do with yourself.

"call......"

Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian jumped off his horse, found a random stone by the side of the road and sat down, forcing himself to calm down.

Han Zhao said that currently only he knows this order.

That means you still have a choice.

In simple terms, it can be roughly divided into three options.

One, let Han Zhao block the news, and even ordered to speed up the march, and sent the imperial army into the "hukou" of Niutoushan before Ning Yongnian realized it.

Although Han Zhao would be exposed in this way, but at that time the main force of the imperial army was gone, his mission was basically completed, and it seemed that it made no difference whether he was exposed or not.

Well, it was pretty good at first thought, but Wei Changtian quickly denied this option himself.

The reason is very simple, because it cannot be realized at all.

In the army of more than 20 people, except for the chief general Han Zhao, almost all the other senior officers in the army, including the warlord You Wenzong, were from Ning Yongnian.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Han Zhao to conceal the holy decree for too long. It may be okay for an hour or two, but problems will arise if it takes longer.

If I really let Han Zhao block the news for a long time, it is estimated that he will be tied up by a group of lieutenants and taken back to the capital for trial before tomorrow morning, and the 20 people will not be able to enter Niutoushan in the end.

Therefore, this is no different from letting Han Zhao "explode himself".

So what if the imperial army is allowed to go to the front line of Jinyuan?

Jinyuan County is in the southeast of Guanghan County. The terrain is flat, and there is no place to set up an ambush on the road to Shuzhou City.

Although it will take at least five more days for the imperial army to go to the front line of Jinyuan to reach Shuzhou City, but...

But the extra time is meaningless to Wei Changtian.

Without the advantage of terrain, there is no way to set up an ambush, so we can only go back to Shuzhou City to deploy... The only advantage is that I can wait until all the reinforcements from Dali arrive.

And in this way, the war will evolve into an offensive and defensive battle around Shuzhou City.

More than [-] imperial troops attacked the city.

More than 3 Shu troops and 15 Li troops, a total of up to [-] people defended the city.

With a difference of nearly [-] troops, this battle will undoubtedly be very difficult.

What's more, Da Li also has his own little calculations, whether he will try his best on the battlefield or not...

This doesn't work either, that doesn't work either.

Wei Changtian clenched his fists slightly, feeling as if he was in a situation where he could not advance or retreat.

The whole plan revolves entirely around Niutoushan, which means that if the imperial army does not fall into this trap, everything they have done before will be meaningless.

The Tiangou army that has not yet appeared, the net of heaven and earth laid by Shen Ran on Niutou Mountain, the [-] monsters lurking in the [-] mountains... The strategic significance of all these arrangements will be greatly reduced. no longer exists.

Unless you have a way to "force" the imperial army into Niutoushan...

Yes, this is Wei Changtian's last option.

Although the probability of success is not high, although it is very dangerous, but at this moment he must give it a try.

"Damn, it's done!"

Standing up suddenly, Wei Changtian gritted his teeth and cursed.

He scorched Zimuyu quickly sent a message to Han Zhao and Chu Xianping each, then got on the horse and swung the whip hard.

"Snapped!"

Amidst the sound of the whip, the war horse neighed in pain.

It suddenly turned around, raised its hooves, and ran back towards the way it came from at the fastest speed.

......

Two hours later, Yin time.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Beside the gravel-strewn official road, a big maroon horse was kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily and sadly.

At this time, if a horse breeder sees this scene, he should be able to make a judgment immediately——

The horse was dying, exhausted to death.

And it was not because of running for too long, but because of running too fast in a short period of time and overdrawing too much energy to die.

Running the horse to death, the rider is obviously anxious to do something very important.

But now there is no one around the war horse, and this person has been away for a while...

At the same time, two hundred miles away.
