Chapter 682 Yan Sheng's Choice
"This bastard!!"
In Black Stone City, news had already been received that Anling City had fallen and Long Potian had surrendered. Yan Sheng once again turned into a desk cleaning master and cleared out everything on his desk.
Along with the sound, at this moment, Yan Sheng's face turned pale and his eyes widened.
His heavy breathing, accompanied by drastic emotional fluctuations, caused his chest to rise and fall violently.
"I valued him so much that I appointed him as the Four Dragon General to guard the important border areas, but he actually betrayed me and joined that traitor? Traitor! Traitor!!"
[Xie Liancheng, Xie Liancheng...]
This name flashed through his mind, and Yan Sheng immediately shouted in anger...
"Go and call the general over! I want to send troops and kill that traitor!!"
No matter where they are, traitors are always the most hateful.
As much as Yan Sheng valued Long Potian before, now that Long Potian has betrayed him, he hates him so much!
This hatred almost made Yan Sheng lose his mind.
After hearing this, the personal soldiers nearby did not dare to delay and hurried to inform General Jie Liancheng.
This back and forth took some time, and during this time Yan Sheng's mind calmed down a little. He leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest until he heard footsteps, then he opened his eyes.
The next second, Jie Liancheng, who was walking towards him with big strides, suddenly came into his sight.
Influenced by various events this year, especially Long Potian's betrayal just now, Yan Sheng now likes Jie Liancheng more and more.
[Thinking carefully, although Jie Liancheng is sometimes disrespectful, generally speaking, he has always been obedient and has never done anything rebellious. At most, he is just a little muddleheaded.]
[To be honest, it's normal for this guy to be disrespectful. After all, he is a modern person and didn't grow up in a feudal society. Did I really think too much before? ]
As various thoughts flashed through his mind, coupled with the fact that Jie Liancheng and he were connected as "fellow villagers", Yan Sheng couldn't help but look at him with a more intimate look.
During this process, Xie Liancheng felt Yan Sheng's changing gaze as he looked at him, and he suddenly got goose bumps all over his body...
[Eh——]
[Did Old Biden eat something wrong today? ]
Although he had the idea, Xie Liancheng still pretended to be polite and saluted Yan Sheng with his fists clasped.
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you. What is the matter that Your Majesty has urgently summoned me to come?"
It would have been fine if Jie Liancheng didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, Yan Sheng's face suddenly became even uglier.
Fortunately, he did not go berserk this time. Instead, he suppressed his anger and told Li Liancheng the news of Long Potian's betrayal and the fall of Anling City.
Xie Liancheng was shocked when he heard this.
Although he always felt that the Four Dragon Generals created by Yan Sheng were losers, that was only relative to himself.
Speaking objectively, the people who were carefully selected from so many soldiers could not be any worse.
At least in terms of the ability to lead troops, that General Silong was still better than him. Even if Xie Liancheng wanted to deny it, he couldn't.
Under this premise, the other side still occupied the city and fought a defensive battle. Logically speaking, even if they were unable to suppress the rebellion, they would not be able to be captured by the rebels.
He never thought that the reality would far exceed his expectations.
The rebel army actually occupied Anling City, and what surprised him even more was that Long Potian surrendered?
This made Xie Liancheng couldn't help but wonder whether Long Potian had been planning rebellion for a long time and just took this opportunity to betray.
As for Yan Sheng, there is no need to mention him.
After understanding this clearly, it is not difficult to understand why Yan Sheng was so angry.
"So, Your Majesty, do you want me to lead the troops to quell the rebellion? But what about those Centaur mercenaries?"
At this moment, Xie Liancheng was asking about the Centaur mercenaries, but in fact he was reminding Yan Sheng's troops in Huangsha City.
After all, from Zhou Xu's perspective, rushing to occupy Black Stone City at this point in time would actually only increase their burden.
For Zhou Xu, the best thing would be to make the situation in Yan Sheng's country more and more chaotic, and to create internal friction through internal strife.
Zhou Xu had told Jie Liancheng about these ideas long before, so Jie Liancheng naturally knew what to do at this moment.
Hearing Jie Liancheng's words at this moment, Yan Sheng thought of the enemy troops in Huangsha City without any surprise, and then his face darkened.
In his opinion, no matter which choice he made, it was wrong! This also made Yan Sheng entangled until now, and he still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Just now, I finally mustered up my anger and wanted to send troops to quell the rebellion regardless of the consequences.
As a result, after Jie Liancheng mentioned this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"General, I will give you 1,500 soldiers. Are you sure?"
Xie Liancheng's facial muscles twitched.
"Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
“…”
Faced with this, Yan Sheng really didn't know how to respond.
Judging from the current intelligence, the enemy's garrison is at least over a thousand. He is attacking the city with only fifteen hundred troops. Unless the enemy is stupid or he has some super powerful siege weapon, under normal circumstances, it is wishful thinking to want to capture the city, and he may even be sending himself to death.
If he wants to quell this rebellion and recapture Xishan City or Anling City, he may need to hand over all the more than 3,000 troops at hand to have some hope.
But if this happens, Black Rock City will definitely not be able to be saved.
After sorting out this thought, the choice Yan Sheng faced became "take the risk to capture Xishan City or Anling City" and "continue to defend Heishi City".
Normally speaking, you should choose the latter.
The success rate of the former is not 100%, and it is estimated that it will cost a considerable price, but the latter will definitely not go wrong. I'm afraid anyone would choose this.
As these thoughts continued to grow, Yan Sheng's expression kept changing as he sat there.
But he really couldn't swallow this breath! ! Who is he? He is the first emperor who annexed all the countries with an iron fist! In the past, he only needed one word to confiscate the property and exterminate the clan! And the other party could only kneel down and beg for mercy! When has he ever suffered such humiliation? When he thought of this, Yan Sheng didn't even have the mood to claim to be alone.
“No! I’m going to send troops! I’m going to make sure that bastard Long Potian knows the consequences of betraying me!!”
At this moment, Yan Sheng's face had an indescribable ferocity, which even scared Jie Liancheng.
I never expected that when the other party went crazy, he would be so reckless!
