Under the coordination of Hu Chong, 10,000 Chu soldiers began to prepare for war. Under the leadership of officers, the soldiers collected useful things in the city as supplies for defending the city.

However, the fighting spirit up here is okay, but not so much down below.

The soldiers heard that Wu Nian was still alive and personally led the troops to attack. Their retreat was cut off by Feng Chong. Their morale was severely frustrated and they generally couldn't cheer up.

Although they were still functioning under the supervision of the officers, they were very numb.

There was no general like Wu Chongguang to step forward, so the city was like a pool of stagnant water without any waves.

morning.

In the mansion, inside the main hall.

Hu Chong was sitting with his generals, discussing matters. At this moment, a soldier broke in from outside, bent down, and said in fear: "General, someone claiming to be the envoy of Wu Nian is here. He said it was

Huping County has been captured by Wu Nian, and General Cao was killed."

"There is a head as proof."

Just as he finished speaking, another soldier came in from outside carrying a large wooden box.

"What did you say?" Hu Chong and the generals were all shocked and couldn't believe their ears. Cao Ting in Huping County had ten thousand elite soldiers and a city.

How long did it take before it was breached?

Calculating the time, I'm afraid I haven't even kept a day. Is this paper nonsense?

But if there is a fraud, Wu Nian has a head to prove it.

Hu Chong stood up, walked in front of the soldiers, took the box, put it down, and opened it in front of everyone. There was indeed a human head inside. Although it had lost its blood, it was indeed Cao Ting.

Hu Chong couldn't mistake it. This face looked too familiar.

"How is that possible!!!!" Hu Chong felt as if the world was spinning, the lid in his hand fell to the ground, and he sat down, muttering to himself.

It's too fast, it's too fast.

He and Cao Ting guarded two cities, so they could share the pressure. Now that Cao Ting is dead, the pressure suddenly fell on his shoulders.

This situation is completely different.

"What should I do?" Hu Chong's face was pale and frightened. The generals around him also lost their voices for a moment, their faces were as pale as paper, and the timid ones could no longer stand still.

Desperate situation, desperate situation.

At this moment, another soldier broke in from the outside and reported in panic: "Report to the general. News came from the rear. General Wang led ten thousand elite troops to attack Feng Chong, but was defeated by Feng Chong. Now General Wang has retreated.

I went back to Ke County to rest."

There was a "boom". It was true that blessings and misfortunes never come alone. This news was like thunder, exploding in everyone's minds.

Hu Chong suddenly woke up from the state of shock and was irritated. He stood up and grabbed the soldier's collar. He opened a pair of blood-red eyes and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

"The news is extremely reliable." The soldier looked scared. He didn't know whether he was afraid of Hu Chong or Wu Nian.

"It's over." Hu Chong let go of his hand and stood up slowly, with a dull expression. The generals were not much better, each one's face was ashen, like a bereaved mother.

but.

Pretending to be dead cannot solve the problem. Hu Chong's lifeless eyes suddenly lit up with a light. After taking a deep breath, he strode back to the main seat and sat down, as if his confidence had returned.

"Call Wu Nian's envoy in." Hu Chong shouted.

"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.

The other generals felt strange, but did not dare to say anything more. They lowered their heads and were very silent. Soon after, Wu Nian's envoy came in from the outside, bent down and said to Hu Chong: "General Fu Han's subordinates, Chen Zhong, pay my respects.

General Fox."

"What does Wu Nian mean? If you have something to say, just say it." Hu Chong raised his head and said.

There was still a lack of information. When Chen Zhong came out, he didn't know that Feng Chengchang had defeated Wang Zhongbi. But this hindered his arrogance.

"Report to the general. My general said that if the general is willing to surrender with 10,000 elite troops, he will be honored. If he does not surrender, the day the city is destroyed will be the day for your death, general."

Chen Zhong raised his head and spoke Wu Nian's words loudly.

"You have some backbone. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Hu Chong looked at Chen Zhong in surprise, then sneered.

"Since I am an envoy, I have the consciousness to be killed. If the general wants to kill me, please do as he pleases." Chen Zhong puffed up his chest and said decisively.

"Okay. What a man." Hu Chong took a deep look at Chen Zhong, then raised his head and said, "You are a small official, but you have such backbone. Can I still be inferior to you? You go back.

Okay. The head on my neck, Hu Chong’s, is right here, let Wu Nian get it himself.”

"General!!!!" Before Chen Zhong could answer, the generals all said in unison with their hearts splitting.

Hu Chong was furious. He glanced at the generals and said, "Don't you know that eating the emperor's salary means being loyal to the emperor? Today we are in danger. But so what? When the heads fall to the ground, the bowl is as big as the one in the bowl.

It’s just a scar.”

"I will never surrender to rebellious officials and traitors."

The generals were about to say more. Hu Chong said solemnly: "Whoever dares to say another word will be killed without mercy."

The generals were afraid of Hu Chong and stopped talking, but their eyes flickered and the internal ideological battle was extremely fierce.

"Go back." After Hu Chong suppressed his general, he looked up at Chen Zhong, waved his hand and said proudly.

"Okay." Chen Zhong simply clasped his fists and turned around to leave.

"According to the plan, prepare for defense. We will fight Wu Nian to the death in this city." Hu Chong stood up, with a resolute face and a decisive voice.

"Yes." The generals responded in unison, stood up and left in a hurry.

.............

Huping City, among the mansions.

Wu Nian's soldiers guarded the mansion tightly, and their murderous aura went straight into the sky.

In the bedroom, Wu Nian woke up. He was at a loss for a while, then he raised his head and asked the soldier who woke him up: "Is something the matter?"

"Report to General. General Feng sent people to report. Wang Zhongbi led ten thousand elite soldiers to compete with him for the city, but he defeated him."

The soldier's brows were filled with joy, he bent down and clasped his fists.

"Huh?" Wu Nian was surprised for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay. Feng Chong is really a talented general."

His original plan was just to let Feng Chong defend the city. Unexpectedly, Feng Chong actually defeated Wang Zhongbi. He didn't know the outcome of the battle.

This is first.

Feng Chong directly reduced the number of Wang Zhongbi's remaining troops.

second.

This defeating battle was another heavy blow to the Chu army led by Wang Zhongbi.

The space that Wang Zhongbi can operate is already extremely small.

"The six county towns in Nanhai Prefecture will soon be mine. The eighteen cities in the three prefectures. The thirty-two cities in the five prefectures in Liaodong, fully half of them will be mine."
