Chapter 1092 Arrival
Sheng Ze traveled day and night and finally arrived back before Qin Zhilu's five-state coalition forces launched a general attack.
There was a cheer among the troops in northern Hubei.
"His Highness is back!"
"Your Highness is finally back!"
"With His Highness here, we will definitely win!"
Sheng Ze went all the way to Liang Cheng's military tent, dismounted, clasped his fists and said to Liang Cheng who came out to greet him: "Uncle Cheng, thank you for your hard work. What's the situation now?"
"Your Highness has worked hard on the journey. You should rest for a night first." Liang Cheng felt a little reluctant when he saw Sheng Ze's unshaven and weather-beaten face.
Sheng Ze shook his head, "Military affairs are urgent. I won't get in the way. Let's go in and talk."
He was the first to step into the tent and came to the sand table.
"The enemy, led by Qin Zhilu, launched attacks in Bailipo, Kaner Village, and Lingxi Town. So far, they have not broken through any of them, but we have also suffered heavy losses." Liang Cheng pointed to the sand table and described the current situation in detail.
Finally, Liang Cheng told the story of Shan Mancheng coming with his men. "What do you think, Your Highness?"
He knew that this was a risky move, but it was also the only option. However, he still wanted to hear Sheng Ze's opinion.
Sheng Ze paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine. The Jiayu people are good at fighting. The situation on the grassland is probably not good right now. They are probably doing this to show their goodwill to us. After the war, we'll see what they want. If it's appropriate, we'll help them."
He had discussed with Shen Qingqian before and sent sweet potatoes and potato seeds to the Jiayu people. He thought there should be no shortage of food on the grassland, but the temperature in the Tianxue Mountain area was probably no longer suitable for human habitation, so it was reasonable for Shan Mancheng to return to northern Hubei.
These days, life is not easy for anyone. He is just lucky to have met Shen Qingqian, otherwise his life would probably be just like in his dream.
Liang Cheng looked at Sheng Ze, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He felt that His Highness was a little too kind-hearted. Under normal circumstances, this was a good thing, but when it came to the interests of the country and the nation, he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
After all, the Jiayu clan was once a major threat to the Dajin Dynasty.
As if sensing Liang Cheng's worry, Sheng Ze explained, "Uncle Cheng, you've met Shan Mancheng before. Although he's scheming, he's not a bad person. And judging by what Grand Princess Chengyu said, he's my cousin. Just for that reason, I'm willing to trust him this time."
In addition to his trust in Shan Mancheng, Shengze has more confidence in the Hubei Northern Army. Even if the Jiayu tribe really has some plans, the Hubei Northern Army is not afraid.
"This is the only way now," Liang Cheng sighed. "I've already sent someone to pick him up. If he arrives tomorrow as he said in his letter, it will greatly alleviate our situation."
Sheng Ze nodded. Knowing that Shan Mancheng was about to come with 200,000 Jiayu warriors, he made some changes to Liang Cheng's original battle plan.
Several generals stayed in Liang Cheng's tent until the end of midnight before leaving. Sheng Ze simply stayed at Liang Cheng's place for one night. After all, he was not there before the battle and there was no tent for him.
The fatigue from days of traveling was brought out at this moment, and Shengze fell asleep.
I didn't know how long I slept, but Liang Cheng's high-pitched voice suddenly rang in my ears, "What? They attacked together. How many of them are there?"
"All of them! That's all of them, General! The soldiers on the front lines estimate that there are at least 400,000 troops from the Five States coalition fighting towards us. Bailipo and Lingxi Town have been lost, and the brothers are retreating here."
Sheng Ze stood up, grasping the divine sword in his hand. He looked at the soldier who had brought the news and said coldly, "Take me there quickly!"
