Chapter 527: Heavenly Offering Golden Man [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

Dugu Fengnian quietly left the Yulin Guard camp and sneaked back to Wuwei City.

"Your Majesty!"

Inside the big tent, everyone turned their eyes to Yan Yan who was standing behind Dian Qing.

As imperial guards, they had naturally seen Yan Yan before.

"Please sit down!" Yan Yan stretched out his hand and pressed it down, indicating that everyone did not need to be polite.

"Where is our army?" Yan Yan asked.

It's not that he doesn't know the exact direction of the army's march, but he wants everyone to know where the army is now.

"We have entered Longxi and are passing through under the leadership of General Li Xin. We will arrive in about ten days." Dian Qing reported.

This speed actually exceeded their expectations.

"Oh?" Yan Yan was also a little surprised.

The main cavalry of the Yulin Guards was taken away by Dian Qing. Now the main force of the army is led by Cao Shen, who was urgently transferred back from the headquarters of the General of the Central Army who Protects the Xiongnu.

I didn’t expect that Cao Shen also had great achievements in leading troops.

The subsequent main force was mainly composed of infantry, not cavalry, but they were able to keep up with his speed and were only ten days apart.

"Stay on the spot and annihilate the army sent by King Xiutu. I don't want to see a soldier of King Xiutu outside the city before the army arrives!"

Yan Yan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" All the officers nodded.

The purpose was to wipe out King Xiutu's troops around Wuwei City, completely surround King Xiutu in Wuwei City, wait for the arrival of the army, and then begin preparing for the siege.

"Dugu, what do you think? And what about that large army roaming outside?" Yan Yan continued to ask.

"I think it's worth meeting him and testing the waters a bit," Dian Qing replied.

"As for the army from Dugu Longcheng, we can temporarily ignore them before the main army arrives. We only need to send out scouts to monitor their movements at all times."

Yan Yan nodded, this coincided with his idea.

Now they can't spare any troops to encircle and suppress Dugu Longcheng.

"Assign three thousand troops to garrison this place to prevent King Hunxie from leading his troops across the Qilian Mountains and the Helan Mountains to launch a surprise attack on us." Yan Yan pointed to an important passage on the map.

Although King Hunxie is now hiding in the north of Qilian Mountain, he still wants to compete with the army led by Li Ren for Juyan Lake. But what if King Hunxie abandons Juyan Lake?
So I have to guard against it.

Dian Qing nodded and began to arrange people to set up defenses at designated locations.

It is not only to block the possible support from King Hunxie, but also to threaten Dugu Longcheng.

"Bai Feng!" Yan Yan spoke again.

"Here!" Bai Feng appeared behind Yan Yan.

"This distance is enough for you to fly to Yumen Pass, meet Luo Bing, and ask him clearly... Forget it, let Luo Bing send someone who knows the details to come back with you."

Yan Yan thought for a moment and continued.

"Yes!" Bai Feng turned and walked out of the tent. With a whistle, a huge white bird flew down and took Bai Feng directly to Yumen Pass.

On the other side, Dugu Fengnian, who returned to Wuwei City, secretly met Dugu Ming in the secret room.

"What's the situation?" Dugu Ming asked nervously.

Dugu Longcheng is his eldest son and his only son.

He had no choice. He had many wives and concubines, but only one son, though he had many daughters.

Therefore, with only this one hope, we must save Dugu Long City even if we don’t return with the main army.

"I don't know whether to say that the young master has good luck or bad luck. The young master did not encounter the vanguard of the Yulin Guards..."

"That's good, that's good." Dugu Ming breathed a sigh of relief before Dugu Fengnian could finish his words.

"However, the young master encountered the main force of Bingzhou led by Bing Jun, and was surrounded by Bing Jun under the cliff." Dugu Fengnian continued.

"..." Dugu Ming almost couldn't catch his breath. Can't you just finish your words in one breath?

However, Dugu Ming, who had recovered his breath, also realized that he didn't know whether to say it was good luck or bad luck.

He was also a skilled warrior, and was well aware of the differences between large military campaigns.

If they were to encounter the Yulin Guards led by Dian Qing, the vanguard would destroy all obstacles that stood in their way, and Dugu Longcheng and his men would surely die. But it would be different if they encountered the main force.

The main army has more people, but they will not be consumed in vain. They will use the large numbers of the army to encircle the enemy and reduce casualties.

Therefore, in Dugu Ming's opinion, Dugu Longcheng is still luckier.

Of course, this premise is that they can negotiate peace with Bingzhou, otherwise, they will still die.

"You mean, the main force of Bingzhou has arrived in the Moya area?" Dugu Ming suddenly reacted.

"Isn't this too fast?" Dugu Ming was shocked and stunned.

How long has it been since Bingzhou recruited and trained soldiers nationwide, and how long has it been since they arrived in the Moya area?

"Yeah, who knows?" Dugu Fengnian also sighed.

They don't want to believe it, but they have to.

The Yulin Guards had already set up camp under the city of Wuwei and were besieging the city.

The Yulin Guards have arrived, and the main army has also arrived. What's impossible?
Everyone in the world knows that the Yulin Guards are the personal guards of Bingjun. Wherever the Yulin Guards are, Bingjun is there.

Now that Bingjun has arrived, shouldn't the main force of the central army be normal?

As for why Bingzhou moved so quickly, who knows?

"You said you met General Dian Qing?" Dugu Ming continued to ask.

"Yes!" Dugu Fengnian nodded.

Dugu Ming stroked his chin and paced back and forth in the secret room, thinking.

What they have to do next is a matter of genocide. If the news leaks out, the entire Dugu family will be exterminated and swallowed up by the Jin and Yan families.

But can we defend the city of Wuwei?

Dugu Ming doesn't think so.

If King Hunxie sends troops to help, then there is still some possibility.

However, King Hunxie had already led his army north to garrison in Juyan Lake and contact the Dayuezhi.

"It is highly likely that Xiutu King City cannot be defended." Dugu Ming said to Dugu Fengnian.

He was not actually asking Dugu Fengnian, but giving himself a voice to convince himself.

"Bing Jun fought his way to power from nothing. If it were ten years ago, who would have believed that a mere scholar could occupy most of the grassland, conquer the royal court, and defeat the Donghu?" Dugu Fengnian also understood that Dugu Ming just needed a voice to convince himself.

"So, you also think that the royal city cannot be defended?" Dugu Ming confirmed again.

Dugu Fengnian didn't say anything else.

Defend? What to defend?

The people of the grassland are indeed not good at attacking cities, but it is different in the Central Plains.

Most of the wars in the Central Plains were fought between sieges and pass attacks, and Bingzhou had the characteristics of the grassland, but also inherited the characteristics of the Central Plains.

If Bingjun wants to capture Xiutu City, he has too many methods to use.

"Since you want to surrender, then the pledge can't be too low!"

Either don't do it, or if you do it, you must show absolute sincerity.

"What do you think of the golden man offering sacrifices to heaven?"

Dugu Ming suddenly asked.

“?” Dugu Fengnian thought that Dugu Ming would defect to Bingzhou and would also pay a certain price.

But no one expected that Dugu Ming would be so crazy as to steal the Huns' golden man for offering sacrifices to the sky.

That is the spiritual symbol and belief of the entire Xiongnu. Once the golden man for offering sacrifices to heaven is handed over to Bingzhou.

Then there would be no place for Dugu in the entire Xiongnu.

"Find a few people to steal the golden statue of heaven, and replace it with the statue of Bingjun."

Dugu Ming continued.
