Capítulo 2096: Chapter 200: Reinforcents from Afar (Part 2)
Liu Yitao was almost in tears: “This… how… do I defend?”
Zhongxuan Sheng ordered Qingzhuan to raise the flag and assemble the troops.
Only then did he say to Liu Yitao, “What’s the panic? Why should the people of Qi Country fear the people of Sumr Country? Straighten up!”
His gaze swept over Liu Yitao’s panicked posture and looked at the sky.
“By our calculations, our reinforcents should be arriving soon…” he said, gesturing with his hand, “Co closer.”
Liu Yitao, on the verge of tears, leaned in, listening as Zhongxuan Sheng spoke at length.
He couldn’t help but feel skeptical, “Is this true?”
“If you don’t believe , don’t you believe Jiang Qingyang!” Zhongxuan Sheng brought Jiang Wang into the conversation.
In truth, Liu Yitao didn’t believe it.
On the battlefield, whoever believes such words is a fool.
No matter the unwavering integrity, such integrity is for friends, not for enemies.
Of course, he had to prepare for both outcos.
In his mind, he was already pondering how he could prove his “innocence” in front of the Marquis of the Sumr Country, how to depict himself as “bearing humiliation” and present that the process of “setting things right” was sincere. So many lives of Xia soldiers were preserved because of him! This was a strategy to lose ground but save n, an act of strategic foresight!
But no matter how he thought, Zhongxuan Sheng had already raised the flag and decisively led the people out of the city.
There was not the slightest bit of reluctance for this city, which had been held for several days and had swallowed no less than seven Sumr Country reinforcent troops.
The last words he left Liu Yitao were—
“By the way, that man called Liu Dayong, look after him, don’t let anyone vent their anger on him. You were all Sumr people before; now you’re all Qi people… Of course, if you don’t want to take care of him, that’s up to you.”
Take care of him, my leg!
Damn you, Liu Dayong!
I’ll turn back and cut him down! It was this bastard who lulled our General Jiang into complacency, allowing you Qi dogs to exploit the situation. Otherwise, why would I be stuck in such a dilemma?
Liu Yitao thought angrily.
…
…
“What reinforcents did you ntion to Liu Yitao earlier?” On the way out of the city, Jiang Wang asked, “You’ve sent so many ssages, who did you contact?”
Zhongxuan Sheng casually replied, “Half of the people I contacted have already been captured by us; they’re still tied up in Ximing City. The other half is still on their way.”
“So you lied to him?”
“Of course not.” Zhongxuan Sheng smiled, “We’ve been missing from the Eastern front for so long, by now Zhongxuan Zun should be getting anxious.”
After entering the Linwu Mansion battlefield and maneuvering behind enemy lines, they had been traveling for four days. After capturing Ximing City, they laid in wait for another four days.
In Zhongxuan Zun’s perspective, the Victory Camp had been absent for eight days.
Jiang Wang asked himself, if he were Zhongxuan Zun, during the crucial ti of vying for battlefield rits, letting soone as exceptionally clever as Zhongxuan Sheng disappear from view for so long… it would indeed be difficult to remain calm.
But…
“How can you be sure Zhongxuan Zun will co to Ximing City?” Jiang Wang couldn’t help but ask.
Zhongxuan Sheng said, “You just had a confrontation with him; in your view, how strong is Zhongxuan Zun, who is now in the God Descending Realm?”
Jiang Wang answered frankly, “Though new to the God Descending Realm, he is a strong contender among them.”
“The so-called unblemished, the so-called impeccable, the so-called flawless… truly a wonderful realm.” Zhongxuan Sheng sighed and asked, “You are waiting too, aren’t you?”
“It’s close.” Jiang Wang said.
“No need to rush. Even without your God Arrives, I can certainly win this ti.” Zhongxuan Sheng’s tone was calm and assured, “The opportunity is given to , there’s no reason to miss it.”
Zhongxuan Sheng leisurely said, “On the entire Eastern front, who is there to contend with Zhongxuan Zun now? Bao Zhongqing has scheming but lacks boldness. Xie Xiaobao hasn’t grown up… Only Zhongxuan Zun can co, and he certainly will.”
Casually dismissing an old friend, Zhongxuan Sheng continued, “He doesn’t know where we are or what we are doing, but he can sense that the Sumr Country’s reinforcents heading to the front lines have slowed. With his wisdom, he can certainly guess that we have already circled around to the back of the Xia Region and are up to sothing… so he will definitely co!”
“And Ximing City is the hub of the three mansions, if he wants to suppress in terms of military rit, this is his first choice, a place he cannot bypass.”
Of course, Jiang Wang trusted Zhongxuan Sheng’s judgnt. However, at this mont, he had another curiosity—Bao Bozhao was clearly also on the Eastern front battlefield, yet Zhongxuan Sheng only ntioned Bao Zhongqing, not Bao Bozhao. Could it be that in this fat man’s mind, Bao Zhongqing is the more outstanding one?
But this curiosity was not of great importance.
He didn’t care about Bao Zhongqing, nor about Bao Bozhao.
He only asked, “So where are we going now?”
Zhongxuan Sheng smiled broadly, “To where Zhongxuan Zun will go next.”
Shisi silently followed closely behind, although clad in heavy armor, wielding a heavy sword, and within the army ranks, her steps sohow beca lighter.
She truly liked Fat Sheng’s confident deanor!
…
…
anwhile, in the entire Linwu Mansion, from north to south, the situation deteriorated step by step.
The Sumr Country’s garrison displayed exceptionally strong resistance, but the Qi Army’s offensive was even more determined.
Three hundred thousand Eastern Region coalition forces, under the command of Imperial Court Adviser Xie Huaian, attacked various locations, causing fire and turmoil throughout Linwu Mansion, with various cities too busy to attend to themselves.
In the muddled chaos of the situation, the vanguard camp led by Zhongxuan Zun undoubtedly stood out.
Dressed in white, standing across the battlefield, the Sun God Palace shone upon the battlefield. Throughout the Eastern front battle, he was the first to ascend the enemy city, marking the first major city breach in the northern part of Lin’an Mansion.
