"The thing is, when we entered the border of Wuwei County, we encountered a little resistance. Then when Wushuang led the Yulin Cavalry to break through, we saw an army of unknown size."

"But the other side did not put up any resistance and withdrew directly. Moreover, they did not retreat towards Wuwei City."

Dian Qing told the report he had received from the scouts earlier.

"We wanted to pursue them, but they did not flee to Wuwei City, so for the sake of the overall situation, I did not order a pursuit."

"You did the right thing!" Yan Yan nodded.

Their primary goal was to push the battle line to the city of Wuwei. If Dian Qing really went to pursue the unknown army, it would likely give King Xiutu some time to catch his breath.

"Go and bring the person here!" Yan Yan had a guess, but he was not sure.

After experiencing the incident where he acted rashly due to insufficient intelligence, which resulted in the near annihilation of the 6,000 Blood Knights, Yan Yan also became cautious.

No matter who this army belongs to, they must now make corresponding arrangements.

An army of 30,000 soldiers patrolling the periphery is not good news.

The most urgent task is to confirm the affiliation of this army.

"Yes!" Dian Qing ordered someone to bring the secret envoy sent by Dugu into the big tent.

Dugu Ming's secret envoy walked into the big tent cautiously, lowered his head and looked around carefully.

There were not many people in the entire tent. Dian Qing sat in the chief general's position. Behind him sat a young clerk at a desk. On both sides were several generals in armor.

"I am Dugu Fengnian, the patriarch of the Dugu family in Wuwei County. I am here to meet the general." The secret envoy did not dare to look at him any longer and kowtowed to Dian Qing.

Dian Qing was patient and did not answer for a long time.

Dugu Fengnian saw that Dian Qing was looking at him with a majestic aura without being angry, but he didn't say anything. He could only kneel down with his head down, not daring to stand up.

Yan Yan secretly said, "It's an interesting family. The first thing they said was not to stop the massacre of the city, but the name of Wuwei County that we announced to the public. They might really want to surrender. Ask them the purpose of their trip and what the Dugu family wants."

"Get up!"

After getting Yan Yan's approval, Dian Qing spoke calmly.

Only then did Dugu Fengnian dare to sit up straight.

"I'm the Bingzhou Weiwei and Yulin General, Dian Qing!" Dian Qing also introduced himself to let the other party know who he was facing.

Dugu Fengnian looked at Dian Qing in astonishment.

Although they were far away from Bingzhou, they knew that Bing Jun had four generals under his command, Dian Qing, Luo Bing, Li Ren and Gongsun Nu.

Among them, Gongsun Nu had the highest status. He was the chief of staff of the Bingzhou State Guard Office and usually acted as the state guard.

Next came Dian Qing, the Bingzhou Weiwei, the chief of the Yulin Guard, the personal guard of the Bing emperor.

They thought that only the vanguard of Bingzhou had arrived, but they did not expect that Dian Qing had already arrived. Doesn't that mean that the entire Yulin Guard has already arrived outside the city?

No wonder Longcheng couldn't return to Xiutu City.

"I have heard of the general's name for a long time. Seeing him today, I feel he is so majestic!" Dugu Fengnian flattered.

He has already confirmed that Dugu Longcheng must have been captured.

Dian Qing has already arrived at the city, so how far can the Bingzhou army be?
The legendary Bing Jun might also be behind this.

"I hope Longcheng is not so stubborn and fights to the death with Bingzhou!" Dugu Fengnian said in his heart.

Dian Qing has arrived, and Bing Jun is following behind. If Dugu Longcheng fights to the death with the other party, he will be seeking death.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you are here!" Dian Qing spoke directly.

Dugu Fengnian pondered over the words and organized his thoughts before he spoke slowly.

"General, you should have captured a large army during this trip, right?" Dugu Fengnian asked tentatively.

He did not doubt the fighting power of the Bingzhou army, nor did he think that Dugu Longcheng could escape. What he wanted to know was whether Dugu Longcheng and his family were captured or annihilated. Dian Qing was about to speak when he heard Yan Yan's voice transmission.

"He was testing us. Although his voice didn't change much when he spoke, there was a light in his eyes when he mentioned the captives. So the army that escaped is most likely related to the Dugu clan."

"Tell him that the army has been surrounded by me and is in danger of being wiped out at any time."

After getting a hint from Yan Yan, Dian Qing spoke again.

"Indeed, they did encounter them, but I don't know whether to say they were lucky or unlucky. They didn't encounter me, but the main force led by the Lord. Now they are surrounded under the cliff. As for how long they can survive, it depends on the Lord's mood."

Dugu Fengnian was stunned.

I really don’t know whether to say that Dugu Longcheng was lucky or unlucky. He didn’t encounter the Yulin Guards, but encountered the main army led by Bingjun himself!

"General, could you please inform Lord Bing to suspend the attack? The head of the family hopes to meet with Lord Bing in private."

Dugu Fengnian knew that it was such a big thing, but he couldn't make the decision.

And it was not Dian Qing who surrounded Dugu Longcheng, so it was obvious that Dian Qing had no say in the matter.

Then the only option is for the people behind both parties to meet in private.

"What are your identities? Can you see the Lord whenever you want?"

Before Dian Qing could speak, the generals on both sides started shouting angrily.

Dian Qing didn't stop him either.

The Yulin Guards are the emperor's personal guards and are absolutely loyal to him.

Naturally, they will also absolutely safeguard the majesty of the monarch.

What's more, what they said was not wrong. With Dugu's status, could he see the emperor whenever he wanted?
Dugu Fengnian paused for a moment, then realized that Dugu Ming might be powerful in the Xiutu royal court, but he was nothing in Bingzhou.

Even the court of the Xiongnu Great Khan was controlled by Bingzhou. What qualifications did the head of a small Khan city have to meet the Bing monarch directly?

"That army is your Dugu clan's army?"

Dian Qing gave Dugu Fengnian a way out.

"Yes, the commander is the eldest son of Ming, the head of my Dugu clan. Dugu Longcheng and the entire army are also the headquarters of my Dugu clan and only obey the orders of the Dugu clan."

Dugu Fengnian put the emphasis on the second half of the sentence and only obeyed Dugu's orders.

Only in this way can they have a chance of being spared by Bingzhou.

"So, do you want to rescue Dugu Longcheng or the entire army?" Dian Qing continued to ask.

The cost of saving one person and saving an army is different.

When a large army goes to war, generally speaking, unless there is a deep hatred, they will not kill the enemy's main general, but will capture him in exchange for more benefits.

"The entire army!" Dugu Fengnian spoke hurriedly.

"Huh?" Dian Qinghu glared.

"Of course, if that doesn't work, the young master will do." Dugu Fengnian trembled and said hurriedly.

"Let their family head come over, he has no say!" Yan Yan continued to remind.

"You are not qualified to talk to me, and what you say does not count. Let Dugu Ming come to see me!" Dian Qing relayed Yan Yan's meaning very well.

"Yes!" Dugu Fengnian also knew that he was indeed not qualified.

This kind of negotiation cannot be accomplished overnight. He is just sending a signal of goodwill.

Now that Dian Qing is willing to meet Dugu Ming, it shows that there is still room for improvement.
