Chapter 471 "A Turn of Fortune"
The next day, Guanghan County.
At noon, in the pavilion in the middle of the river, Wei Changtian met Han Zhao again.
"General Han, what do you say?"
Looking at Han Zhao, who seemed to be somewhat happy, Wei Changtian asked with a smile: "Have you decided, Ning Yongnian?"
"yes!"
Han Zhaoyi bowed his hands and said with great admiration: "Sir, this plan is really brilliant! Ning Yongnian has ordered me to capture Shuzhou City within half a month!"
"Last night, before Lord Wei left, he suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow."
“.”
Soon, Han Zhao recounted everything that happened last night.
Although it is still unknown what Wei Xianzhi and Ning Yongnian talked about on the city wall, it is no longer important now.
Yes, the words that Wei Xianzhi heard from Wang Er before he left last night were the first words Wei Changtian sent back after he learned that he had led people to surround the imperial palace.
There are only five words in total——
Enraged Ning Yongnian.
It is obvious that Wei Changtian is not just causing trouble for Wei Xianzhi because he has nothing better to do.
His purpose was to make Ning Yongnian so angry that he would make an irrational and unwise decision like "continue the attack".
The Niutou Mountain ambush is not only related to the outcome of the war in Shuzhou, but will also affect and even subvert the situation in the entire Daning.
Therefore, the imperial army must go to Niutou Mountain.
For this reason, Wei Changtian not only sent a message to Wei Xianzhi in time, but also used the lost mother-and-child jade to send false information to Ning Yongnian in advance.
The master who "killed three thousand soldiers with one sword" was not from the Shu army.
Of course, this information cannot be considered completely false. After all, Qin Zhengqiu’s current situation does seem a bit strange.
But no matter what, this "intercepted" intelligence undoubtedly relaxed Ning Yongnian's vigilance, leading him to make this somewhat risky choice .
So what if you are the emperor? You still fell for my trick.
Impulse is the devil! Comrade Xiao Ning! Shaking his head happily, Wei Changtian began to regret that Wei Xianzhi had snatched away his chance to show off.
It must have been a shocking scene to see an arrow shot over Ning Yongnian's head in front of so many people!
Why doesn't this kind of thing happen to me?
Alas, I am clearly the "protagonist" now. Speaking of Ning Yongnian, wasn't he quite cautious before? Why did he get so impulsive this time?
Could it be that the villain's halo that reduces intelligence has finally arrived? No, if there really was a halo that reduces intelligence, the three million people in Yuanzhou City would not have died. After thinking about it for a while, Wei Changtian stopped worrying about it and prepared to ask Han Zhao about his next plan.
But what he didn't know was that Ning Yongnian didn't make the decision to "continue the attack" simply because of anger.
Because just before Wei Xianzhi surrounded the palace, the latter received a secret letter from Wu Ding.
In the letter, Wu Ding told the whole story about Li Wutong.
Although Ning Yongnian regretted not being able to trick Li Wutong into his hand, he noticed a detail mentioned in the letter -
"We are here on the orders of Master Wei, but we are not here to serve Master Wei."
This was the answer that the gray-robed old man gave when Wu Ding asked him why he was working for Wei Changtian.
Wu Ding did not think about this sentence in detail, but wrote it down truthfully in the secret report.
However, Ning Yongnian immediately came to a conclusion that was basically the truth:
These seven masters helped Wei Changtian to pick up Li Wutong because of some kind of deal. Apart from that, they will not interfere in anything else.
This means that they will not appear on the battlefield in Shuzhou . In fact, if Ning Yongnian was a little "stupid", or Wu Ding's secret report came later, perhaps he would not have made that decision last night.
But precisely because the emperor was too smart and Wu Ding's secret report was too timely, Ning Yongnian was "impulsive" under Wei Changtian's calculations and various coincidences, and unexpectedly allowed Wei Changtian to successfully achieve his goal.
It is hard to say whether this can be regarded as the "protagonist halo", but it can definitely be called Wei Changtian's "luck".
One day in the future, when Wei Changtian fully understands the reasons behind this, he may sigh that his luck has finally turned.
Besides that, he might have some worries.
It was just like when Xiao Feng "accidentally" obtained the Qingjue jade pendant in Houqiu Village at the beginning, which was originally outside the plot.
Sudden "good luck" or "bad luck" may just be a means for the wheel of fortune to correct itself.
"General Han, when are you going to lead your troops to pursue?"
In the dazzling sunlight, Wei Changtian certainly didn't know that the wheel of fortune was trying hard to pull him back on the "right track", and his expression was very relaxed at this moment.
"Since Ning Yongnian has given the order, it is better to dispatch troops as soon as possible to avoid any changes."
"Yes, I understand."
Han Zhao bowed and answered truthfully: "Sir, I plan to send troops at 10:00 today, and will only leave 20,000 new soldiers to garrison Guanghan City."
"Twenty thousand new soldiers. OK."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Changtian nodded and agreed to this arrangement.
According to the original plan, after Han Zhao led the army away, the Tengu army would suddenly rush out to retake Guanghan City and cut off the logistical supplies of the imperial army.
Although the Tengu Army has only 10,000 people, it is a special forces force composed of "humans and demons" after all. It would be too lame if it couldn't even defeat 20,000 new recruits.
Besides, Han Zhao couldn't deliberately keep too few people, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion.
So this is a relatively suitable arrangement.
"Let's do it this way."
Looking at the big sun above his head, Wei Changtian casually instructed: "When the time comes, tell Chu Xianping about the deployment of Guanghan City, and he will make proper arrangements."
"yes."
Han Zhao responded, and then asked, "Sir, are you going to go to Niutou Mountain with the army, or go there first?"
"I'll go first. I'm not sure about that place."
Wei Changtian replied: "I'll go and make some arrangements."
"Okay, then when will you set off?"
Han Zhao asked again: "Do you need me to arrange for someone to take you out of the city?"
"Well, you arrange it."
Wei Changtian thought for a moment, then pointed to the ground and said, "Tell your people to come here and wait for me in an hour. I still have some things to do."
"I see."
Han Zhao nodded again, indicating that he had taken note of it.
He did not ask Wei Changtian what he was going to do, and the latter did not intend to say anything, but just asked a casual question before leaving.
"Is there anything else important? If not, I'll leave first."
"For now. Oh, right."
Han Zhao suddenly said, "Sir, the situation in Dafeng has changed this morning."
Huh? Wei Changtian suddenly turned around, frowning slightly: "What's wrong? Did they start fighting again?"
"no."
Han Zhao didn't know about the "gossip" between Wei Changtian and Li Wutong, so at this moment he just answered truthfully in a tone of reporting "international news":
"The battle report was just sent back two hours ago."
"This morning at 11:00 a.m., Fengyuan suddenly opened the east city gate, and hundreds of court officials escorted Li Qi out of the city to surrender."
