Xu Ran went out to fight, and it was Chen Le who stayed in the city.On the day when the army went out, something happened as expected, but fortunately, Chen Le suppressed it in time.

The army is all elite divisions, under the iron hooves led by Xu Ran, one city after another was captured.The front was still a symbolic resistance, and the back directly opened the city gate and surrendered before Xu Ran arrived.

As a result, the people of the Wan Kingdom were panicked, and the court was filled with a strange and tense atmosphere.

"The enemy army has taken down five of our cities in a row, and you still can't do anything?!" Prince Wan cursed directly in the hall angrily.

The ministers who were scolded all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak out.

King Wan is most optimistic about his second prince, who is talented and far-sighted, "Xiao Er, what do you think about this matter?"

The second prince came out, "Father, I have heard about the leader of the army. He is a little-known brat. This kind of person has an impetuous mentality. Our army is only temporarily intimidated. It is not difficult to fight back. "

There are five princes in the Wan Kingdom, the eldest prince is the eldest son, and has been oppressed by the second prince since he was a child. He already has a plan in mind for this war.

"Father, my son is willing to go to the border and repel the enemy!"

King Wan looked at this eldest son who had never been very outstanding, and was a little surprised, "The war at the border was bitter and cold, and my son has a heart."

The second prince's eyes darkened slightly, and he wanted to say something but was blocked by Wan Wang.

"It's rare that my son has such ambition, so let's go."

"Thank you father!"

After the court, the ministers filed out, the second prince stopped the elder brother whom he had never seen directly, "Brother Wang is so brave."

The eldest prince smiled, "Second brother, you are still too young."

The two parted unhappily.

The counselors who learned that the eldest prince took this job were all stunned, "How can you take over such a mess, that Ning Fei is like a god with soldiers, and we don't know how to fight, why don't you let others go?"

The eldest prince's eyebrows were dark, "Do you think that the palace is not successful at all? Father, he is not in good health. In the past few days, I heard from the spies in the palace that he is already considering establishing a crown prince. I am not as good as the second child in every way. If you fight again, I'm afraid I'll lose everything."

"Yes, but this battlefield has no eyes."

"Who said one must know how to fight?" The eldest prince took a sip of tribute tea, "This war, I want it to win as long as I want it to win."

The counselor was shocked, "What do you mean?"

The eldest prince sneered twice, "Second brother, second child, it's not just useful to please the king father."

The next day, the eldest prince led the army to set off in a mighty manner. His face was full of pride, as if he already knew what the result would be.

When he arrived at the border, the general eagerly greeted the arrival of the army. Tomorrow at the latest, Chi Guo's army would arrive, and he was so anxious to death.

The eldest prince patted him on the shoulder calmly, "Don't worry, since the main hall is here, we will definitely drive the enemy back, otherwise we will never return to the court."

Hearing his words, the generals who were still aggrieved before felt a little bit of agreement.

Talking nonsense to the generals, the eldest prince turned around and asked the secret soldier he trained to deliver a letter to Xu Ran, "This letter must be handed over to Ning Fei."

The dead man took the letter, his body rose and fell, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

……

Tomorrow they will arrive at the next city. In order for all the soldiers to continue to maintain good physical strength, Xu Ran ordered to have a good rest today and set off tomorrow.

The soldiers guarded their posts step by step and rested in shifts. Xu Ran set up a tent by himself. The candles in the tent were flickering. He rolled out the sand table and began to deduce the next marching route.

There was no wind, and the fire flickered slightly.

Xu Ran's fingers on the side of the sand table trembled slightly, and then he continued to pretend that he didn't know anything and lay down with his clothes on.

After a while, the simple sound of breathing on the couch gradually stabilized, and a black figure flashed in from outside the tent, lightly placed the letter on the table, and then left quickly.

As soon as the black shadow left, the person who had just fallen asleep opened his eyes instantly. Xu Ran ignored the letter on the table and immediately called the soldier on duty.

"This is a Gu worm. It will lead you to find the mark I made earlier. Go secretly, remember the route, and don't disturb anyone. Come back before dawn and tell me."

"Yes."

The envelope on the table was engraved with gold lacquer, just in case I tried to see if it was poisonous, and it was not.

The letter inside was very short, to the effect that the eldest prince wanted to seek his cooperation. As long as he was willing to cooperate with the other party in acting, the other party could directly divide him into ten cities and said that he would definitely give him a fortune in addition to that. Fei's reward.

This eldest prince is really generous, he bought ten cities, and most of the names of the cities were the top ten cities with the best economic conditions in the country.

All the cities in the Wan Kingdom add up to about a hundred, and Xu Ran has already captured almost one-tenth of them, and now the eldest prince wants to give up another tenth of the high-quality ones, such a good thing, it is a fool not to take advantage of it.

The words in the letter were sincere, and I was afraid that Xu Ran would refuse, saying that he only needed to perform a scene to let the eldest prince go back to meet his errands, and when the eldest prince left, the ten cities closed here would be his, and he guaranteed that there would be no resistance.

Xu Ran tapped the letter paper with his finger, and then looked at the geographic location on the sand table. He didn't know whether this person was really stupid or fake. These ten cities could just form a natural defense and counterattack checkpoint.

Before dawn, the little soldier he sent out came back. The little soldier vividly described his route along the way, and even drew a road map.

"You did a good job, remember not to let others know."

Xu Ran had sprinkled the powder in the air without leaving any traces before, as long as someone came in, it would be stained with it, and the Gu worm that had completed the task slowly crawled back into the bottle.

This road map is nothing but the back and forth route of the dead. Of course, the dead will not come from an upright road. There must be a small road leading directly to the headquarters behind the city.

After dawn, the army continued to advance.

It didn't take long to arrive under the heavily fortified city wall. The eldest prince stood tall on the city wall, looking at Xu Ran who was riding a horse not far away, his heart was pounding, he didn't know if what happened yesterday was successful or not.

Suddenly, he saw Xu Ran looking at him, and he met his eyes, and the eldest prince felt relieved instantly.

He waved, "Let the soldiers go out and play."

The city lord beside him quickly said, "No way, the strength of our army and the enemy's army is very different."

"What are you afraid of? The palace brought the elite. The eldest prince stared, but the city lord was dissatisfied but helpless, he could only watch the city gate open.

Surprisingly, the Wan army attacked fiercely, and the always fierce Chi army was a little timid, and retreated not long after.

The mayor was taken aback.

The eldest prince laughed loudly, "That's all, City Lord, you are really making such a fuss."

The news of the victory rushed to the capital in an instant. The eldest prince had already won the victory, but he was thinking about the letter from the counselor, saying that the King Wan couldn't hold on anymore, and his condition suddenly deteriorated, so he was in a hurry to go back.

"Since Chi Jun is so vulnerable, there are other important things to do in this hall. The army stays here to help you resist."

The city lord quickly thanked, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

General Li, who won the battle today, felt that something was wrong. He had always heard that Chi Jun was brave, so why did he retreat without fighting a few times today?

The city lord thought for a while, "Could it be that they also know that you are famous, General Li, and retreat automatically when they see you?"

General Li used to be a well-known person on the battlefield. After being complimented by the city lord, he instantly put aside his doubts just now.

……

In the evening, Xu Ran received ten city title deeds from the eldest prince, and at the same time, he thoughtfully attached a token that could go straight to the end, so that Xu Ran's army could drive straight in.

The eldest prince left late at night, and Xu Ran led the troops to attack the city again the next day. General Li, who was still sleeping and overjoyed, was caught off guard.

Before he could react, Xu Ran's army had completely captured the city.

General Li couldn't figure out why the army, which was soft yesterday, was so strong today, and came so unexpectedly.

After Xu Ran completely controlled the city, he immediately blocked all the entrances and exits, and asked the soldier to lead someone to guard the secret passage. It didn't take long for someone to sneak out to deliver a message.

The messenger was captured alive on the spot, and after everything was interrogated, Xu Ran asked the soldiers to pretend to be messengers from the Wan Kingdom to deliver the letters, all of which were good news of the Wan army's victory.

There was always a lot of friction when every city was first taken over, but Xu Ran used the experience of the previous few cities to clean it up easily and quickly.

In fact, no matter who occupies the city, the common people have only been in chaos for a year. They have not completely changed from the previous unified situation, and they only regard it as their own people fighting.

Xu Ran has given the people a stable life without wars, and they can have food and clothing, which is what the people want.

Most of the cities he laid down were the people who took the initiative to cooperate after hearing the news, and most of the guards were empty inside and outside, it was really rotten to the bone.

Under the rotten rule, the people are living in dire straits, and there are refugees starving to death due to the famine. The ruling class, such as the city lord, would rather be stinky than feed the refugees.

The arrival of Xu Ran firstly killed corrupt officials in front of all the people, and secondly used all the money they looted to resettle the people's lives, and provided many jobs for the refugees.

So after he left, although there were not many soldiers and horses left, and occasionally some people rose up to make trouble, most of them were attacked spontaneously by the people.

The captured General Li has been completely convinced. Although he is only a young general, he also knows what is beneficial to the people and what the people want.

What's more, he was originally one of the generals targeted by the Wan country because of the rebellion of the general of the Chi country. No one likes to stay in a country that ruins their own future, so it is better to find another master.

He thinks that Xu Ran will definitely accomplish a lot in the future, so it is better to simply surrender.

Xu Ran still welcomes the surrender of generals, and it is best if there are as many such people as possible.

General Li excitedly said that he still has many colleagues who have been targeted. He can contact them now. If he is willing, it will be good for everyone.

With the rear stable, Xu Ran can continue to lead the army all the way forward.

The army did not have the flag of the Shuchi Kingdom, and they ran all the way with the token given by the eldest prince. The soldiers in the city were even more confused, not understanding why their own people beat their own.

In this way, Xu Ran quickly captured ten cities. After occupying the tenth city, Xu Ran sent a letter to Chen Le.

He needs Chen Le to do something for him.

He didn't tell anyone about the ten cities, and he didn't even get back the news these days, and all the information was firmly blocked.

The Wan Kingdom thought that the Wan army had won a complete victory.

Chi Guo is already fighting hard.

Xu Ran, who now owns ten cities, is waiting for an excellent opportunity that belongs to him.
