The soldiers strongly condemned Xu Huai's shameless behavior.
"General, water and food must not be given to him. These are sent to you by the gods."
"Yes, has he done anything for the Zhan family army? Has he ever repelled a single enemy soldier? You just ask for it, what right do you have?"
"Who is Xu Huai? I will take people out tomorrow and take him away with a Qinnu!"
The soldiers said that they must not give water and food to Xu Huai.
They have seen people begging in a humble manner. He has never seen anyone begging with confidence!
And Chen Junlin silently took out the secret letter sent by the little emperor from his arms.
He has received three secret letters.
In the past, he circulated them privately to Zhan Chengyin.
Now, everyone is on the same boat. They have been through life and death many times and have a life-and-death friendship. There is no need to hide it!
Zhan Chengyin took it and opened the secret letter.
The first one ordered Chen Junlin to kill Zhan Chengyin.
The second one was still an assassination of Zhan Chengyin. The third one said that Zhan Chengyin didn't need to be killed, but forced him to smoothly transfer power to Xu Huai.
Let the two brothers of the Chen family, Wu Sanlang... and others obey Xu Huai's orders and sideline Zhan Chengyin!
Now, Zhan Chengyin has a very high prestige in the court and among the people. He has surpassed the Daqi royal family!
Why?
He led the Zhan family army to defeat the barbarians and the Chu and Qi armies in succession. He led two thousand people and rushed thousands of miles to destroy the old nest of the Mobei royal court.
After he defeated the Mobei royal family and took a detour back, he encountered the Chu-Qi war. He killed 30,000 Chu soldiers, killed Ling Xiaofeng's youngest son, and cut off one arm of his eldest son.
The god of war Ling Xiaofeng is still in a coma.
The Chu army fought against Zhenguan with the strength of the whole country.
Now the morale has dropped greatly, with countless casualties, and Chu can no longer be called the first powerful country.
Now, the outside world is saying that the first powerful country has changed hands.
The Great Qi Kingdom is the strongest!
Therefore, the young emperor cannot openly kill the Ningguan Marquis who has made great military achievements and is well-known.
He can only reduce his power.
The news that there is water and food in Zhenguan City has spread throughout Daqi.
Many disaster victims poured into the capital, and there is not enough food.
Many court officials have begun to cut back on their clothes.
Because of this rumor, refugees went north to Zhenguan and joined Zhan Chengyin...
In a few days, Zhan Chengyin's Zhan family army will continue to expand.
He Can't kill him, can't keep him, can only undermine his military power!
In the third secret letter, the little emperor gave Chen Junlin a death order.
If Zhan Chengyin does not transfer his military power, he will be executed in secret.
Zhan Chengyin saw the secret letter and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his lips.
The little emperor will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River.
Kill him?
Let Xu Huai take over his military power?
Daydreaming!
He sat at the top, and the corners of his petals smiled softly.
"Tell Xu Huai and his people that if they want food and water, they can come to the city to get it!"
As long as people enter the city, it will be easy.
Chen Kui stared, "General, will they enter the city?"
"Yes!"
When people are extremely hungry and lack water, they can do anything!
Not to mention letting Xu Huai's men betray him.
Even if they are asked to kill Xu Huai, they are willing!
Since the general is so sure, Chen Kui stood up and bowed to Zhan Chengyin.
"I am familiar with the deputy general under Xu Huai. General, I will take someone to deliver the letter!"
"Okay, remember to be careful, don't let him shoot from behind!"
Chen Kui and Chen Wu are now the first generals under Zhan Chengyin.
If Xu Huai knew that the two had rebelled against the little emperor and could not be instigated,
he would definitely want to kill him!
Obviously, Chen Kui also thought of it.
Otherwise, I'll take some explosives, a Qinnu team, and a Modao team!"
"Okay!"
Chen Kui bid farewell to Zhan Chengyin and went to prepare.
Chen Wu was obviously worried about his brother, so he followed him. The rest of the people were waiting for their news.
Zhan Chengyin pinched the portrait of Ye Mumu in his arms with his fingers, thinking of Ye Mumu's delicate and beautiful appearance!
As long as the gods want it, he will definitely offer it with both hands.
Even if he has to do anything, he will accomplish it!

The Chu army's tent was shrouded in grief and sorrow.
The defeats in recent days were unacceptable to the Chu army, which had always been smooth sailing!
Now the army is leaderless.
Ling Xiao has been in a coma until now.
The youngest son Ling Shichen was beheaded.
After the eldest son Ling Yunzhe's arm was cut off, he couldn't accept the result and fainted.
When he woke up again, he refused to eat or drink, waiting to die.
Since arriving at Zhenguan, the aura of luck lingering over the Chu army seemed to have lost its effect.
Instantly beat them back to their original form.
The King of Chu was very angry after a series of defeats.
He has ordered the killing of the tribesmen of Ling Xiaofeng's eldest brother.
Now, the King of Chu ordered the general to withdraw.
But the general is still in a coma!
The soldiers were very confused, they could not see hope, could not find the way forward, and were afraid that they would die if they went back.
How should they choose!
*
The Qi army's garrison was also very quiet.
Qi Xuanheng planned to withdraw his troops. If he couldn't take Zhenguan, he would preserve his strength.
As long as he was still there, he would have a chance to come back and get Zhan Chengyin's treasure!
The spies in the city have tried every means to get close to Zhan Chengyin, hoping to get the treasure or the true appearance of the god!
When he walked out of the tent, Yue Hong was by his side.
"Is Ling Xiaofeng still not awake?"
"Yes, my Lord!"
"How is the Chu army now?"
"Their morale is not high. The King of Chu has issued three secret orders to return to the court. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ling Xiaofeng to explain this time."
"All the people in his eldest brother's lineage were killed!"
"The King of Chu's temper is still as hot as ever. I'm afraid it will be a disaster for Ling Xiaofeng to report back this time. With his character, he will die if he goes back or stay. Maybe..."
"He will continue to fight with Zhan Chengyin until all the Chu troops are exhausted!"
Yue Hong nodded.
What the monarch said is indeed like Ling Xiaofeng's character.
He would rather break than bend.
Either win or die!
The road he walked in the early stage was too smooth. After stepping over this hurdle, he may be able to settle into a true god of war.
If he can't get over it, his life will come to an end.
"I heard that Xu Huai has 100,000 troops stationed thirty miles away from Xiwang to take over the town?" Qi Xuanheng asked.
Yue Hong said, "Yes, my Lord... he has been stationed there for some time."
"Why not enter the city?"
"I don't know, but our informant in Daqi has reported that the Emperor of Daqi ordered him to take over the town. If Zhan Chengyin refuses to cooperate, he can be killed on the spot!"
Suddenly, Qi Xuanheng's eyes lit up.
The haze that shrouded his head disappeared instantly.
"Are Xu Huai and Zhan Chengyin not on good terms?"
"Yes, Zhan Chengyin was promoted too quickly. After all, Xu Huai is a veteran who has led troops for twenty years, and Zhan Chengyin is a first-rank marquis, and his status is higher than his."
"Plus, the young emperor doesn't like Zhan Chengyin, and has been trying to get rid of him."
Qi Xuanheng happily patted Yue Hong on the shoulder and laughed, "Yue Hong, I have found a way to break the deadlock!"
"Doesn't Xu Huai want to take over the town? If Zhan Chengyin doesn't cooperate and is killed on the spot, then we will help him!"
"You take a hundred death warriors with you to find Xu Huai and tell him that I am willing to lend him a helping hand!"
Yue Hong frowned and said nervously, "My lord, a hundred death warriors, aren't they too many?"
"No, if I can get the secret of water and food in Zhan Chengyin's hands, let alone a hundred death warriors, I am willing to pay a greater price!"
