Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

"one."

"Siege the city."

At the command, the siege began.

The catapults took the lead, firing stones that rained down on the soldiers defending the city, causing screams to be heard one after another.

This catapult has been improved and has a very high accuracy rate. It can hit whatever it throws and has great lethality.

After a few rounds of stone attacks, the enemy suffered heavy casualties. With the help of battering rams and ladders, they quickly rushed to the city wall and fought.

Xiao Linfeng jumped up, with archers escorting him, and climbed up the city wall nimbly. After a while, the city gate opened.

The Ning family army rushed in like a tide, attacking while shouting loudly, "If you surrender, you won't be killed, if you surrender, you won't be killed."

Everyone in the world knew that the Ning family army would not kill surrendered soldiers. The lower-level soldiers did not want to work for the corrupt officials anymore, so they laid down their weapons and surrendered.

It only took one hour from siege to capture of the city.

This fighting power is totally incomparable to those crazy people in Dajin.

It’s not that the Ning family army is too strong, but that the soldiers defending the city are too weak.

But, looking at their tattered winter clothes and their broken weapons, it's understandable.

The emperor doesn't need hungry soldiers. It would be too difficult for the soldiers to fight on an empty stomach.

The prefect was captured by his men and brought to Ning Zhiwei. He looked as pale as paper and said, "Don't kill me. I'm the father-in-law of the General Zhengxi. I can help you kill him."

Ning Zhiwei was silent for a moment. What kind of people are these?

After asking carefully, he learned that when the General Zhengxi was passing by on his way back to the capital, he presented his two daughters to the General, who loved them very much.

"How are you going to kill him?"

The prefect said without hesitation, "Let my daughter give him the drug."

Ning Zhiwei sighed silently and waved his hand, "Take him away and chop him off."

The prefect couldn't help but get anxious. She didn't want to kill the surrendered soldiers, but she wanted to kill the corrupt officials.

"I'm not cheating, really, I can really help you."

Ning Zhiwei had just sat down in the government office when Xiao Linfeng handed her a letter. "This is news from the capital."

The letter said that the General of the Western Expedition had officially proclaimed himself emperor in the capital and named his father, Zong Zheng, as the emperor emeritus, but he had also killed his half-brothers.

What is most surprising is that he made the former queen the empress.

Ning Zhiwei was speechless. I wonder if this guy is mentally ill.

You killed someone's husband, but kept the woman by his side and even made her queen. Aren't you afraid that she would get up in the middle of the night and assassinate you?

Even if we take a step back, is it acceptable to have a bad reputation if you kill your brother and take his wife?

This is breaking the bottom line, there is no scruples, just do whatever you want.

He also killed anyone who tried to dissuade him.

Xiao Linfeng was also speechless, "This guy is crazy."

Ning Zhiwei handed the letter to Zhou Hongye, who also sighed after reading it. Da Qi's fate was over.

"The Ming Emperor raised his flag and returned to attack the capital once again."

Last time it was destroyed by the General of the Western Expedition. Can it succeed this time?

"Waste." Ning Zhiwei was a little disgusted. He couldn't even get it.

"Everywhere rose up in rebellion, and they all rushed to the capital, threatening to avenge their king and father."

The world is really in chaos, with demons and monsters popping up all over the place.

The excuse of revenge for the king and father is too useful.

Ning Zhiwei looked around and said, "It seems that we don't need to rush into the capital. We should take down these territories first."

There are still ten cities away from the capital. Let's take them first, and then eat away at the territory step by step. We should proceed steadily and cautiously. There is no need to be too radical.

The fourth city, Jincheng, Ning Zhiwei set out again.

Jincheng has a flat terrain, fertile soil, and abundant resources. The prefects of all dynasties were from the Guo family, Marquis of Huaiyuan.

In other words, this is the Guo family's territory, which is managed as solid as a rock and no one can get involved.

The local garrison had long since become Guo's army, with everyone from top to bottom being members of the Guo family.

Governor Guo looked at the approaching black army with an extremely grim expression.

Ning Zhiwei, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, has too big ambitions.

Everyone knows that she is seeking revenge in the name of capturing the city.

Ning Zhiwei looked up at the city wall and cupped his hands, "Governor Guo, I want to go to the capital to avenge the late emperor. Please open the city gate and let us pass."

It's the same thing again! Not even changing the words! Do you think he's easy to fool? Prefect Guo was so angry that his mouth was crooked.

However, he dared not show it on his face, "I'm sorry, but I can't obey your order. Please change the route to Beijing, Commander Ning. This is not the only option to enter Beijing."

Ning Zhiwei looked very serious, "The detour is too long, it will take at least five more days, and our Northwest Army does not have enough food and grass to sustain it for that long."

Prefect Guo took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to pay 10,000 silver coins as military funds for the Northwest Army."

He didn't want to fall out with the Ning family army, as the Ning family army was well-known for their fighting skills.

Ning Zhiwei sneered, "How can my 100,000 troops be enough? Governor Guo, you are too stingy. I won't leave. I will live here."

"Twenty thousand."

"fifty thousand."

"One hundred thousand."

"Two hundred thousand."

"Okay." Ning Zhiwei finally spoke.

After she received the money, she left with her army without hesitation.

Prefect Guo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was painful, it was still a good thing to be able to spend money to avoid disaster.

Late at night, several brothers of the Guo family were drinking together. When they drank too much, they started talking nonsense.

Guo Er's face turned red from drinking. "Brother is really amazing. He persuaded Ning Zhiwei to withdraw her troops with just a few words."

Guo San sneered, "Women have long hair and short vision. Just two hundred thousand taels of silver made her change her mind."

Prefect Guo glared at him fiercely. Is two hundred thousand silver coins too little? "Shut up.

Guo San was drunk and couldn't help yelling, "I'm just angry, and you don't allow me to vent my anger by cursing a few times? When has our Guo family ever been so submissive? If this gets out, we'll lose face."

Prefect Guo was also feeling unhappy. Money was a small matter, but losing face was a big deal.

"What should we do? Fight them till they are beaten to a pulp? Are you sure you can win?"

These words silenced everyone.

Guo San patted his chest, feeling suffocated, "Hey, I just feel uncomfortable."

Guo Er patted him on the back and said, "A real man can bend and stretch. Don't think too much. The two hundred thousand taels of silver can be earned back soon. Ning Zhiwei's character will never achieve anything great. Let's wait and see when she gets into trouble."

"Yes, she will be in trouble."

At this moment, a terrified voice came from outside, "Oh no, sir, something's wrong."

A servant ran in hurriedly, looking anxious.

Guo San kicked him, "What are you yelling about? You are the one in trouble."

The servant was kicked down by him and fell, "Master, the Ning family army has come back again."

The Guo family members turned pale when they heard the voice. "What?"

A group of people rushed to the city gate in a hurry, and sure enough, they saw the familiar army approaching the city.

The leader was Ning Zhiwei, who was wearing soft armor and looked heroic.

Prefect Guo asked loudly, "Commander Ning, what do you mean by this?"

Ning Zhiwei smiled faintly, "Two hundred thousand taels of silver have been spent! Can you give me some more?"

They went out for a stroll, ate and drank their fill and came back!

Fuck! Ning Zhiwei, be a human being!
