Puppet emperor?Summon three thousand Xuanjia troops at the beginning

Chapter 585 Battle
Xue Rengui was somewhat surprised by the other party's behavior.

If the other party has indeed changed his mind, then it would naturally be a very good thing for him.

There is a ninth-rank national scholar.

Then everything he had to do next would be much simpler, but he did not trust the other party so easily.

He had his own judgment and even vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Even though it seems very reasonable, it is still a bit far-fetched.

Several generals around him were quite excited about this.

After all, the situation they are facing now is already very difficult. If they continue like this, they may not be able to make a breakthrough for a long time, and may even be counterattacked by the other side.

So although this matter does have certain risks, if it can be successful, the benefits to them will far outweigh the risks.

In their view, a general must possess an adventurous spirit.

There is no battle in which victory is 100% certain.

Although they knew that Xue Rengui was not the kind of person who was afraid of death.

But their hearts were indeed very moved.

"What if this is the enemy's method?"

Xue Rengui asked.

"The enemy is much stronger than we imagined. The moment we came into contact with the enemy, you should have felt how powerful the force we were facing was.

Among them, there are not only strong people above the ninth rank, but also a large number of top three rank national talents. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Although it is difficult for us to achieve great success under the current circumstances, at least we will not have too many problems. Even if the Daxuan Dynasty wants to attack us with all its strength, it will not be too difficult to stop it with our strength.

But once we choose to take the risk, we will never have the chance to regret it."

After hearing Xue Rengui's words, the generals looked at each other in surprise.

Although they knew that there was nothing wrong with what Xue Rengui said, they were still very excited.

For something whose outcome no one knows, completely give up hope of victory.

In their view, it is also undesirable.

Because I knew what they were thinking, I slowly spoke:
"I know what you mean, and I don't want to give up on this matter, but I still have to make the necessary preparations.

If the other party has truly surrendered to our Great Qian Kingdom, we will be able to take advantage of the situation and attack the city.

But if the other party is pretending, then we will definitely be trapped in the city."

The barbican is the most basic defense of a city.

Its function is to serve as the second line of defense after the enemy breaks through the city gate.

It can even be said to be a decisive defense.

In the city wall, there are high walls on all sides and there is no place to leave.

Once you are locked up there, the end result will not only be being surrounded by enemies on all sides.

It's really like catching a turtle in a jar.

Even Xue Rengui had no confidence that he could lead them away.

"I have no intention of giving up. Let's contact them first. If they really want to surrender, then we will try to contact them. But we must be careful not to trust them blindly."

The generals nodded.

There is nothing wrong with Xue Rengui's idea.

They are indeed very worried about this matter.

No one is willing to accept such a crisis.

Soon, the ninth-rank national scholar over there received the relevant news.

The answer given by the Great Qian Kingdom was that it could accept his surrender, but he had to show some sincerity.

Upon hearing the reply from the Great Qian Kingdom, the ninth-rank scholar was not at all surprised.

He found the commander.

"General, the other party wants me to show my sincerity, which may not be easy. Xue Rengui is a smart man and he won't believe it so easily.

If there is any mistake, then the final result will inevitably be a complete loss."

The general nodded.

“In that case, let’s give him some tough treatment. Doesn’t he want sincerity?

Just give it to him.

Before long, a reinforcement force from a vassal state will arrive. The number of this force will exceed 500,000, and they will be led by an eighth-rank national scholar and a seventh-rank national scholar.

All these manpower can be given to him as a token of your sincerity."

After hearing his words, the ninth-rank scholar showed a look of shock on his face.

"General, will this cause dissatisfaction among the vassal states?"

The general chuckled and then said:
"He doesn't have any evidence. Although this matter will indeed cause dissatisfaction among those vassal states, this is the best outcome for us now.

Xue Rengui in front of me is not so easy to deal with. If I can kill him, I think these are completely worthwhile as a price. "

When he said this, his eyes were cold.

It was as if the 500,000 people in the vassal state and the two top third-rank national officials were nothing to him.

But it is true.

He never considered these vassal states as his own people.

Even if they were all killed, it would not be a big deal to him.

After hesitating for a while, the ninth-rank scholar nodded.

He also knew that this was indeed the best outcome.

If they don't, they'll need to use one of their own as bait.

But he didn't want to pay such a price.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

It can only be considered that the people of the vassal state are unlucky.

He immediately informed Xue Rengui of the news.

"Five hundred thousand people?"

Xue Rengui was a little surprised.

To be honest, he never really believed that the ninth-rank scholar was truly sincere in surrendering to them.

But now it seems that he guessed wrong. If he was not truly sincere, he would not do such a thing.

Then he led a group of men and ambushed the enemy directly on the road.

The people from that vassal state had no idea that there were ambushes all around them.

So when they reached a valley, they conducted a simple search and immediately walked into the valley.

Walked into the valley.

The corners of Xue Rengui's mouth curled up slightly.

"No matter what that ninth-rank scholar thinks, his actions do bring us some benefits. Let's do it!"

With his order, countless boulders rolled down from the top of the valley.

The strong men from the vassal states below saw this scene with disbelief in their eyes.

"How could we be discovered?"

They had just arrived and had not informed anyone yet.

In their opinion, it is impossible for the Great Qian Kingdom to notice it so early.

But they don't know what to do, now that reality has happened, there is nothing they can do.

Facing these rolling stones, although the strong ones ignored them, they were a fatal blow to the ordinary soldiers.

The strong men of the vassal state could only attack these stones madly, hoping to slow down their losses in this way.

But soon, most of their strength was consumed.

And the huge number of rolling stones still shows no signs of disappearing.

When everything is settled.

The people of the vassal state were still not relaxed, because they all knew that the war had just begun. The next second, a large group of soldiers from the Great Qian Kingdom rushed down from the top of the mountain.

At the same time, countless arrows kept falling.

Shot their soldiers into hedgehogs.

This scene made the generals' eyes burst into tears.

But at this time he had no choice.

Then he noticed Xue Rengui jumping down from above.

The power above the ninth level completely erupted at this moment.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji smashed into him fiercely.

The general's strength was only that of an eighth-rank national scholar. Facing Xue Rengui's power, he had no chance of resisting at all.

With just one move, he vomited blood, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

At the same time, he also guessed the real truth.

They were betrayed by the Daxuan Dynasty...

Although he didn't know why the Daxuan Dynasty did this, he knew that if it hadn't done so, the Daqian Kingdom would never have allowed a strong man like Xue Rengui to appear here.

The reason was very simple, Xue Rengui was a general in the army, and his purpose was to attack.

If we didn't get accurate information about them, it would be impossible for us to show up here and ambush them.

Since the other party has appeared here, it is enough to prove that people from the Daxuan Dynasty leaked the information to them.

Only in this way would Xue Rengui retreat, not choose to attack, but target their troops.

And now the goal of the Great Qian Kingdom has indeed been achieved.

The goal of the Daxuan Dynasty was also achieved.

They were the only ones injured.

He felt unwilling and extremely angry at the same time.

They came to support with sincerity, and didn't even want him, the strongest person in the dynasty, to come.

But what is the end result?

He actually became a pawn of the Daxuan Dynasty.

And it was the kind of chess piece that was easily destroyed.

"Your general is dead, why don't you surrender!"

Following Xue Rengui's loud shout, the soldiers of the vassal state, who had already lost their will to fight, put down their weapons one after another.

Those rolling stones just now have already stunned them.

So now they have long lost the will to fight.

Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui's mouth curled up slightly.

When the eighth-rank national scholar woke up.

Two days have passed.

When he saw that he was not dead yet, there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Then Xue Rengui came out.

"Are you Xue Rengui?"

The general spoke with a look of dread in his eyes, but not much fear.

Because he knew very well that in their current situation, they no longer had any power to bargain with the other side.

At this time, if Xue Rengui wanted to kill him, it would be a very simple thing. There was no need to let him stay here alive.

He had already guessed what Xue Rengui was thinking.

He even had no resistance to Xue Rengui's idea.

The reason is very simple. The actions of the Daxuan Dynasty have completely disappointed them.

Even if he returned to the dynasty, he didn't think the dynasty would continue to work for such a Daxuan Dynasty.

What's more, they also know the methods used by the Great Qian Kingdom.

It is still unknown who will win between the Daxuan Dynasty and the Daqian Kingdom.

At least they knew that even if the Daqian Kingdom was slightly inferior to the Daxuan Dynasty, it definitely had the ability to negotiate with the Daxuan Dynasty.

Xue Rengui did not hesitate at all and said directly:
"I think you should know my purpose. The reason why you were blocked by us this time is because someone from the Daxuan Dynasty leaked your information.

They want to use these people of yours as bait to trick us.

Now, you should think about the life and death of these people in your dynasty.

But before that I would like to know your name, which will be the first step in our friendly communication.

Even if you still have conflicts, at least we don't need to become mortal enemies from the beginning.

Otherwise, you should know that with the strength of our Great Qian Kingdom, we can put your dynasty to sleep at any time."

"Cheng Peng."

The general spoke.

He did not hide his name and said it directly.

Because he was too disappointed at this time, he didn't care at all what would happen to the Daxuan Dynasty.

When Xue Rengui saw Cheng Peng's attitude, he immediately realized that Chen Peng might be more cooperative than he thought.

So he laughed immediately.

"Now you have two choices: help our Great Qian Kingdom fight against the Great Xuan Dynasty or be completely destroyed by our Great Qian Kingdom.

You should also know that our Great Qian Kingdom is now within the Great Xuan Dynasty, so we don’t need too many captives, and we can’t have too many captives.”

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Cheng Peng spoke directly without any hesitation:

"I choose to surrender. You take me to my soldiers and they will listen to me."

When Chen Peng went to his subordinates, his eyes were filled with heartache.

There were more than 500,000 people, and more than 100,000 of them were killed in one battle. This was an unimaginable loss for him.

But he also knew that this was already an excellent result.

If the Great Qian Kingdom did not have its own agenda, probably not a single one of their 500,000 people would have stayed behind.

Just like Xue Rengui said, they don't need prisoners.

His negotiation process went very smoothly.

And Xue Rengui was also very satisfied.

Now that both parties are satisfied, we can proceed to the next step.

He was not sure whether the ninth-rank scholar would really help them.

But he knew that the people in front of him would definitely help him.

In this case, there is no need to execute the previous plan.

Instead of that, it’s better to communicate directly with the previous party.

the next day.

The troops of this vassal state walked towards the enemy's city.

Behind them were the pursuers from the Great Qian Kingdom.

Cheng Peng roared:

"Please open the city gate quickly. People from the Great Qian Kingdom will be here soon."

Seeing this situation, everyone above was stunned.

Shouldn't these people have been ambushed and eliminated by the Daqian Kingdom?
How did he appear under the city?
But at this time, they reacted quickly.

No matter what happens, they need to get these people into the city.

The moment the city gates opened.

Xue Rengui, who was hiding inside, smiled.
