The best ring

Previously, the monarchs and ministers of Shuiyue Kingdom had actually worried that the marriage between Tianji Kingdom and Yanfeng Kingdom might end up being self-defeating and turning from an excuse into a reality, which would undoubtedly be quite detrimental to them.

At that time, the Yelu Sect had made a decision. If Yanfeng Kingdom really agreed to Tianji Kingdom's marriage request, and Tianji Kingdom also wanted to take advantage of the situation, they would try their best to destroy it, even if they did not marry Tianji Kingdom. The two countries formed an alliance, and they absolutely did not want to see Tianji Country and Yanfeng Country reach a marriage.

But now, what they had worried about before had become a reality. Yelvzong was furious and naturally wanted to find a way to destroy this marriage.

The information carried by the aerial messenger flying to Yangyuguan is related to this matter.

Of course, Wu Fan didn't know this at this time. What he was thinking about was to rush to Yangyuguan as soon as possible, assassinate Yelu Hongfei, and complete his mission.

On the other side, when the sun rose, the offensive and defensive battle around Fengyu City, the capital of Nanping State, began again.

The siege of Fengyu City has been going on for several days. Both the rebels outside the city and the defenders inside the city have gradually become accustomed to this rhythm. They are not as excited and panicked as they were at the beginning, and their emotions have become relatively stable. Quite a bit, this situation is naturally a good thing for the defenders inside the city, but it is bad news for the rebels outside the city.

At the beginning, especially on the first day of the siege, the defenders in the city were not very adaptable to this kind of battle due to lack of combat experience or being out of battle formations for a long time. This allowed the rebel forces outside the city to occupy a huge area. Even on the first day, they attacked the city several times. Although they failed to gain a firm foothold on the city, it also gave Cai Cheng and others great hope. At that time, everyone thought that they would soon gain a foothold on the city. Will capture this stormy city.

But as the battle continued, after blocking the first wave of fierce attacks by the rebels outside the city, the defenders in the city began to slowly get used to this rhythm, and the fear in their hearts gradually disappeared. Until now, seeing When the rebels attacked the city, they no longer had major mood swings. Watching the rebels approaching the city wall, they felt as normal as eating and sleeping every day.

Cai Cheng was keenly aware of this situation, which was quite bad for him. At the entrance of the camp, he frowned unconsciously as he watched the battle at the city wall.

Although today's battle has just begun, judging from Cai Cheng's experience, they still cannot capture the city wall today.

This made Cai Cheng somewhat panicked.

You must know that war is not simply about soldiers from both sides fighting on the battlefield. War involves many aspects, the most important of which is the supply of food and grass.

Cai Cheng's rebellion was not a sudden one. He had prepared a lot of food and grass before. But with so many people under his command, they had to consume a lot of food and grass every day. It might be okay in a short time, but over time, there would be problems.

"Lords of other cities, is there any movement?" Cai Cheng asked the deputy general next to him.

After the rebellion started, Cai Chengcheng wrote to the city lords of various cities in Nanping Kingdom, hoping that they could support him and work together to overthrow Wu Ya's rule. Zhao Qiushan was the first city lord to express his stance and led his army to support, but the other There was no news from the city's lord.

"No." Cai Cheng's lieutenant said: "Those bastards are all old foxes. They will not express their stance easily until the situation is clear. If everything goes well for us, it will be okay. If we are in trouble, those guys may even come. Attack us to show your loyalty to Wu Ya."

"Damn it!" Cai Cheng said coldly.

Cai Cheng knew that what his lieutenant said was true. Zhao Qiushan was definitely not the closest to Fengyu City, but he was able to arrive early, while people in other cities had not moved yet, which already explained the problem.

Those who can be regarded as city lords are few fools. They must have their own plans.

Cai Cheng felt that he had thought things too well before the rebellion. He thought that with his qualifications and connections, once he rebelled, he would be supported by everyone. However, the reality is that there are not many people who really support him, even if They are the people with whom we usually have better relationships, but at this time, their attitudes are ambiguous.

"Fortunately, Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan in the city are quite good." Cai Cheng thought.

Last night, Cai Cheng received a letter secretly sent by Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan. In the letter, the two of them stated that they would support Cai Cheng in the city to cause trouble for Wu Ya and the city's defenders, which was also convenient. Cai Cheng attacked the city.

Both Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan were only civil servants, so it was good to be able to do this. Cai Cheng didn't know about them, so it was unrealistic for Cai Cheng to lead his guards to kill the defenders in the city.

And with Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan's status and connections in Fengyu City, if they secretly caused harm, the impact would still be huge.

This is one of the few pieces of news that can make Cai Cheng happy.

"General, do you want to use the internal response in the city?" Cai Cheng's deputy general asked.

The previous offensive went smoothly, so there was no need to activate the internal response in the city, but now, everyone can see that the offensive and defensive battle in Fengyu City has fallen into anxiety. At this time, some external factors are naturally needed to affect the battlefield situation.

Cai Cheng was a little moved, but he still shook his head and said, "It's not yet time."

The internal support in the city is now Cai Cheng's biggest reliance, and it is also his last trump card. If he doesn't use it, it will be fine. Once he uses it, he must launch a thunderous strike to establish victory, otherwise, their situation will take a turn for the worse.

Because of the letters from Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan, Cai Cheng felt that he could wait a little longer, waiting for the two to cause some damage in the city, making the situation in the city more turbulent. It would be best if he could use the insiders in the city when people were panicking. At that time, the effect would definitely be better.

At this time, Cai Cheng did not know that some of his insiders had been lost, and he did not know that his insiders had been discovered by Wu Fan a long time ago and were now under the surveillance of the defenders in the city.

No one objected to Cai Cheng's decision. They also felt that it was not time to use the insiders. Although they did not have a huge advantage on the battlefield as they did at the beginning, they were not at a disadvantage. Overall, everything was still under their control.

At this time, Wu Ya was much more worried than Cai Cheng in Fengyu City.

Although the troops in Fengyu City had been handed over to Wu Fan and Chen Wende for command, Wu Ya had other things to do. The pressure on her was no less than that of Wu Fan and Chen Wende.
