Chapter 246 Arriving at Yaoguan and meeting the Southern King
After a night, Shen Changgong still slept soundly.
I don’t know if it’s the unique orchid scent on Fairy Meiyan that helps me sleep, but I can always sleep soundly.
After waking up, Shen Changgong held the delicate body in his arms, opened his eyes, and smiled.
"Run, why don't you run this time?"
Fairy Meiyan gritted her teeth and said
"How can I run away if you've tied me up? I can't even put on my clothes, and you're holding me tightly like an octopus. How can I run away, you stinky little brother?"
"I tied you up just to prevent you from escaping."
"My hand hurts so much, please let go of me. Where's your promise to show mercy to me? You're even more cruel this time than last time."
Shen Changgong sat up, turned Fairy Mei Yan over, helped her untie the ropes around her wrists, and took a pat on her round and perky breasts.
"Get up, it's time to go."
Fairy Meiyan rubbed her sore wrist and gave him a dissatisfied look.
That charming little look can simply capture a man's soul.
She got up, dressed, washed her face with Shen Changgong, and then walked outside.
"I'm leaving now. I have to go back to Jiutian Tower. I'll come back and kill you next time when I have time."
Fairy Meiyan said.
"No, you have to go with me. I need a maid to serve me."
"Go to hell! I'm a high-ranking official, admired by everyone. How could I leave you here as a maid? You're dreaming!"
"Then you don't have the final say. You are a prisoner captured by me, and I have the final say on how to arrange your stay."
"hateful!"
Fairy Meiyan glared at him fiercely.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. After dinner, I will send a team of cavalry to escort you back to Jiutian Tower.
Dealing with the Yan Miehui is a big deal. You are the deputy leader and the leader of the righteous path. Killing more Kun Kingdom rangers will be the best help to me.
I know you are reluctant to leave me, but national affairs are more important than sentimental matters.
When I return home, you can go to the capital again and I will accompany you well."
"I can't bear to part with you, you big-headed ghost!"
The maid brought the food and the four of them ate together again.
During the meal, Shen Changgong also reminded Fairy Meiyan to pay more attention to the movements of the Eight Outer Gates. If things were difficult to handle and they suffered a defeat, they could go to the capital to ask His Majesty the Emperor for help and dispatch troops to suppress those Kun Kingdom rangers.
After dinner, Shen Changgong went out and had someone bring a carriage and dispatched a cavalry of a hundred men to escort Fairy Mei Yan home.
Xuejian Villa is relatively close to ** City, but Jiutian Tower is in another county.
Before leaving, Shen Changgong called Fairy Mei Yan to his side and opened his arms.
Fairy Meiyan saw so many people around looking at her, her face turned red with embarrassment, and then she hugged him reluctantly.
After all, this guy is very stubborn and won't let her go unless she hugs him.
But this guy was so greedy that he held her little mouth and nibbled it for a long time.
Fairy Meiyan was furious. Before getting on the carriage, she said to Shen Changgong viciously,
"Just wait, little brother! I'll come back and kill you!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."
Shen Changgong smiled and waved goodbye to her.
Fairy Meiyan's assassination attempt failed and she gained nothing except being beaten.
Shen Changgong also took Gongsun Wan'er and Tu Que Ling, got on the carriage, and led the army to continue marching south.
They passed through Qianxing Valley and walked through Qianxing City. Ten days later, they finally arrived at Yaoguan.
Yaoguan and Zhennanguan are almost the southernmost part of Dayan. After passing Yaoguan, you will reach the territory of Kun Kingdom.
Yaoguan is very large and is inhabited by common people, mostly merchants. It used to be the only way for trade between Kun State and Yan State, and it also made King Ning rich.
Ever since the war between Kun and Yan, there have been many disturbances there, and not many people have lived there. They have all fled to the interior and will not come back until peace is restored.
After leading the army into the city, Shen Changgong went straight to the palace.
The former Ning Wang Mansion has now been changed to Nan Wang Mansion.
Without reporting, Shen Changgong went straight in and led the generals to meet the Southern King Ma Ling in the lobby.
"Lord Horse is so bold now! I came with a large army, but he didn't even leave the city to greet me."
Shen Changgong smiled.
Ma Ling closed the letter in his hand and snorted coldly,
"The king is going to greet you? Aren't you afraid?"
"Am I afraid of you?"
Ma Ling looked at Shen Changgong, threw the memorial in his hand onto the table casually, and said,
"I heard that the capital city held a military conscription order and selected a thousand talented soldiers. I wonder how much of that number Prince Lanling plans to give to our Southern Army?"
Shen Changgong said seriously,
"Wan'er, report to King Nan on the current distribution of troops within Kun Nation so we can plan our tactics and figure out how to fight."
"Yes."
Gongsun Wan'er stepped forward and was about to speak when the Southern King snorted coldly,
"The king is talking about the conscription order."
"What order?"
"Military Order!"
"What are you going to conquer?"
……
Looking at this situation, King Nan also knew that Shen Changgong was reluctant to give him some of those masters.
This guy spent so much effort to recruit this powerful person, and it is definitely impossible for him, the King of the South, to take him away for free without doing anything.
In response, the King of the South did not say much, but just snorted coldly and did not ask any more questions.
Gongsun Wan'er said,
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Southern King, according to the report from Skynet's spies, the situation in the northern part of Kun Country is quite complicated.
First, Han Xuan's 200,000-strong army outside Yaoguan stopped camping on the plains after learning that our country had sent troops. Instead, they retreated to the county seat of Yangbei County, using the county city defense and 30,000 local troops to fight against our army. It seemed that they were determined to defend to the death.
In addition, the 300,000 central troops in the capital of Kun Kingdom remained stationary.
The local armies of the eighteen northern counties of Kun State have almost all gathered in Qiuxin County and are stationed in various cities. The county city has a 300,000-man army led by Commander Nie Bei. The other cities also have a large number of troops. It seems that they are ready to let our army remove the nails one by one."
Shen Changgong nodded and said,
"It's obvious that Han Xuan's troops are their first line of defense. They will defend Yangbei County to delay time while consolidating the defense of Qiuxin County and engaging in a tough battle with our army in Qiuxin County.
They have a total of 600,000 people in the north, and another 300,000 in the capital.
Our army has only 500,000 men in total, but our forces are more concentrated.
Now all the troops in the northern part of Kun State are concentrated on the straight line from Yaoguan to the capital. The surrounding counties and prefectures are short of troops and have no time to launch a sneak attack on our rear.
We can attack the city all the way, destroy the main force of the enemy, and then go straight to the capital to attack Shengjing City."
Nan Wang Ma Ling's face was calm. After thinking for a moment, he said,
"We don't care about the surrounding counties. What if a large enemy force bypasses the rear and attacks, captures the city, and cuts off our supply lines?"
