Chapter 439 Attacking the City
"When it's time to seize the credit, you're still watching. In the worst-case scenario, my reinforcements don't arrive in time, and the Huo family army is destroyed.
How long can a shaky dynasty last?
At that time, either our army will regroup and unify the country, or Dongyang will fall apart, surrounded by wolves, and soon be invaded by foreign tribes.
What good can you do?"
Gu Zhong's eyes were uncertain and his mind was racing.
Of course he knew what Sanning said.
He also wanted to join a wise leader.
However, he has a grudge against the Huo family!
After thinking for a long time, Gu Zhong suddenly realized that he had been fooled by Sang Ning!
He was clearly asking this woman why she wasn't afraid of death!
"Sang Ning'er, right?"
"It's Sanning."
Sang Ning stood facing the wind with a firm look in his eyes, like a poplar tree that was not afraid of wind and snow, standing straight and unshakable.
Huo Changan actually married such a unique woman.
What good luck.
Gu Zhong was a little jealous.
"I don't care who you are! I don't believe you are not afraid of anything! You, a woman from the enemy army, dare to walk into a military camp full of men. Do you really not know what will happen?
This general will not kill you, but give you as a reward to the soldiers. Tell me, will Huo Changan still want you? "
Gu Zhong stared at Sang Ning, trying to see the fear on her face.
No woman is not afraid of these.
She came here alone for the Huo family, which shows that she loves her husband very much. She is not afraid of death, but that does not mean she is not afraid of losing her chastity.
However, he saw nothing.
Sonning sighed.
"You don't have to test me, I'm not afraid of anything now.
In the past, I was also scared in front of the Western Liao people.
I watched helplessly as they tortured women, boiled children, and even stuffed children's arms into their mouths.
I am a woman, but also a soldier. I have also come through seas of blood, corpses, national hatred and family feuds.
Now, nothing can scare me anymore.
General Gu fights for all people in the world, regardless of gender.
Don't humiliate any soldier.
Humiliate me, and you humiliate yourself."
Gu Zhong: “…”
He was speechless and suddenly felt shorter than he actually was.
When it comes to resisting the Liao and Northern Mongolians, the Huo family army is the unsurpassed army in Dongyang.
No one can compare to him.
Fight for the people of the world?
Gu Zhong stared at Sang Ning blankly.
"General! Look down!"
Under the city wall, there was another group of young soldiers.
A small figure walked forward step by step.
Because he was the only one there, and he was so young, looking like a precious fairy child, no one really tried to assassinate him.
Instead, it allowed him to step into the camp step by step.
It’s Jintang!
Sang Ning was anxious, but she thought Gu Zhong would not do anything to her, so she didn't say anything.
"I am Huo Jintang, the son of Huo Qingchuan. May I meet General Gu?"
Another one who is not afraid of death!
What's wrong with the Huo family? They either send women or children to come!
What are you doing?
They seem very capable, right?
It's a capability. After all, there is no such woman or child in his family!
Huo Qingchuan's son is really good-looking!
Gu Zhong shouted in a deep voice: "Bring it up!"
Jintang was taken to the city wall.
Like Sang Ning, he was neither humble nor arrogant, with clear eyes and a calm expression. After greeting Sang Ning politely, he stood next to Sang Ning.
This kid is absolutely amazing.
Gu Zhong was jealous again.
"Huo Jintang, son of Huo Qingchuan, what are you doing here?"
"General Gu, I'm afraid you don't know how important Fourth Aunt is to my family, so I'm here to add a bargaining chip.
Today, Fourth Aunt and I share the same fate."
Gu Zhong: “…”
Sang Ning touched Jintang's head helplessly.
My eyes are sore again.
Good Jintang.
She really couldn't bear to see such a good nephew die.
Gu Zhong paced back and forth several times, and finally said: "When Huo Zhennan passed by Jizhou, he took the opportunity to check on the military camp affairs.
Because I was framed and wore the wrong military uniform, he ordered me to be beaten with thirty military sticks. He did not listen to any arguments and looked down on us, the small soldiers. He left after giving the order.
I was beaten with a military club with nails stuck in it, crippling both my legs. If I hadn't met a miracle doctor later, I wouldn't be here today!"
Gu Zhong just can't forget this grudge!
Huo Zhennan almost ruined his life!
If he had found out the whole story that day, if he had watched the execution, he would not have hated it so much!
Even now, more than ten years later, his buttocks and thighs still hurt when it rains!
"Huo Zhennan is already dead, and it is impossible for this general to seek revenge on him.
This general is not ignorant of the greater good, and he would not abandon the people for his own personal grudge.
If only his son could kowtow and admit his fault, this matter would be over!"
Gu Zhong also understood.
Huo Zhennan cannot be blamed entirely for this.
He held an important position and was indeed very busy. He also felt that military orders were as heavy as a mountain and was unwilling to listen to his arguments, let alone have time to supervise the execution of a small soldier.
The strangest thing, of course, is the person who framed him.
But it was indeed Huo Zhennan's order that directly led to him almost becoming paralyzed.
That's why he has been brooding over it.
However, Huo Zhennan's sons are all gifted children, and Huo Changan is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He may become the emperor in the future.
How could I possibly kowtow to him and admit my mistake!
Besides, he didn't dare to ask anyone to kowtow and admit their mistake.
In fact, all you need is an attitude.
Sang Ning and Jin Tang looked at each other.
that's all?
"Huo Changan and his wife and I are one. He is not here, so I can represent his wishes."
Sang Ning knelt down.
Gu Zhong was shocked.
Then, Jintang also said: "I am Huo Qingchuan's son, it is okay for me to kneel on behalf of my father."
He also knelt.
Gu Zhong felt his knees go weak and he actually knelt down on the spot.
Sang Ning and Jin Tang took a look.
Then kowtow.
But before he could kowtow, Gu Zhong shouted, "Enough! Enough! No more kowtow!"
Should I take it or not?
"General Gu, my father-in-law may have been negligent at times, but it was definitely not intentional.
He almost hurt you, so we should apologize on his behalf."
Jintang nodded, the little man was very serious: "That's right, General Gu, we are all Dongyang soldiers, why do we have to kill each other? I don't want so many people to die.
I hope the general will put the greater good first. If you are still angry, I would be willing to kowtow a hundred times."
Gu Zhong was suddenly filled with shame!
"General, ceasefire!"
"Also, I have reached an agreement with Cao Yin in the east: if we attack, we will attack together, and if we stop, we will stop together.
Send someone to inform General Cao right away!"
Gu Zhong and Cao Yin both stopped fighting, and only the imperial army remained.
Victory is in sight!
Sang Ning and Jin Tang came out with smiles on their faces and made a victory gesture to the people who were anxiously waiting.
Everyone cheered in unison.
However, unfortunate news soon came from the front.
"The message is too late! Captain Jingya has already entered the city, and the gates are about to close!"
Oh no!
…
Huo Jingya was so fast that she led 10,000 troops into the city.
Prince Hua's letter was delivered too late.
After entering the city, the gate was closed.
Inside the city, there was a quietness that seemed like a storm was about to come.
