Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Hui'an led a vanguard army of 5,000 and traveled for three days and three nights, finally arriving outside Yongping City at the fastest speed.

She knew that the God wanted to defeat the Liaodong Army with minimal casualties.

She also did not want her father's former subordinates to die at the hands of the Du'e army, which she led.

Therefore, we must act quickly and achieve peaceful incorporation before the Hu people.

Therefore, as soon as she arrived outside the south gate of Yongping City, she did not delay at all and went directly to knock on the city wall with dozens of personal soldiers.

"General Meng Lingshuang of the Du'e Army has come to negotiate in person. I hope General Hong will spare some time to meet him!"

This time, she gave her secular name which she had not used for many years.

She knew that this name would help the brave and unyielding Hong Shizhong to feel less repulsive towards the Du'e Army and get him a chance for an interview.

Hong Shizhong, who was defending the north gate against the enemy, was stunned when he heard the news.

Meng Lingshuang.

Isn’t this the name of General Meng’s beloved daughter... Now the general of the Du’e Army has the same name as her. Is it a coincidence or a conspiracy?

The north gate could not be breached easily, and the attack by the Hu people was just a deterrent.

Now that the general of the Du'e Army has come in person to negotiate, it would be a good idea to meet him.

"Tell General Meng to come into the city for talks."

When going to the enemy camp for negotiations, the generals usually sent were his subordinates, and it was rare for a military commander to go there in person.

After all, we have to guard against the enemy's lack of martial ethics and directly detaining the enemy commander.

However, when he arrived at the South Gate and had someone drop a rope ladder onto the city wall, he saw the general who was riding a white horse, wearing soft armor and a helmet, riding his horse directly towards him.

He dismounted from his horse and without hesitation pulled up the rope ladder. His movements were very smooth and in just a few breaths, he had jumped onto the city wall.

More than ten personal soldiers followed closely behind.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately drew their swords in defense.

The crossbowmen also aimed their arrows at them.

However, this young-looking general showed no fear at all. Instead, he smiled nostalgically and bowed to Hong Shizhong:

"It's been a long time since we last met. How are you, Uncle Hong?"

Hearing the voice, Hong Shizhong realized that the young general who came up was a woman.

Because she was a girl, he misjudged her age to be exceptionally young.

This woman actually called him Uncle Hong so familiarly.

Moreover, judging from her face, she does seem to be somewhat similar to the Miss Meng in my memory.

Back then in the general's mansion, he had indeed seen Miss Meng, who loved to wield swords and sticks, quite often. Sometimes she would even pester them to exchange martial arts and ask for advice on military tactics, so he was also very familiar with Miss Meng.

I just feel that the woman in front of me is not the right age.

Miss Meng should be in her thirties now, how could she be so young?

There are no wrinkles around the eyes or eyebrows, and he looks like he is in his twenties.

Moreover, when the Meng family was in trouble, he also thought about taking care of the only remaining bloodline of Shangguan, whom he admired.

But not long after, I heard that Miss Meng had died of illness.

Hong Shizhong looked at Hui'an with a cold gaze:

"Let's just negotiate. Why do we have to be so mysterious and pretend to be old friends?"

"Moreover, this impersonation is so poor! Don't you know that General Meng's daughter died of illness a long time ago? Even if she were alive, she would be in her thirties, which is totally different from your appearance!"

Hui An was not angry, but said in a gentle voice:

"Death from illness, that was just an excuse for my wicked ex-husband to break away from my Meng family. Not long after my Meng family got into trouble, that bastard cut my tendons and sent me to a black nunnery in Nandu to recuperate, and then announced my death from illness."

"If I hadn't met the Divine Lord later, even if I had survived by chance, I wouldn't have been able to stand before you today."

"As for looking younger, it's just a trick of the God."

As she spoke, she dodged and rushed to Hong Shizhong before anyone could react. She symbolically placed the unsheathed sword at her waist on Hong Shizhong's neck.

"Let go of the general!"

The many soldiers on the city wall felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and raised their swords towards Hui'an again.

Hui'an put down the knife that was on Hong Shizhong's neck, drew his sword and rushed forward, using the Meng family's swordsmanship to meet the enemy.

Only then did Hong Shizhong realize that the other party had not drawn his sword at all.

The female general who called herself Miss Meng did use the Meng family's swordsmanship.

Her body was as fast as lightning and she had extraordinary strength. Every time she made a move, she could easily kick the soldiers besieging her to the ground, causing them to be in so much pain that they couldn't get up for a long time.

What’s even more horrifying is that even if someone happened to hit her, she would remain unharmed.

Instead, the soldier's knife seemed to have hit something indestructible. Not only did the blade break into two pieces in an instant, but the whole person also flew backwards.

"Stop! Stop!"

Hong Shizhong shouted quickly.

Both sides stopped fighting immediately.

Hui'an sheathed his sword, stood calmly, and looked at Hong Shizhong:

"Uncle Hong, how is my skill now?"

Hong Shizhong calmed down and sighed:

"It is said that Lord Du'e has dozens of fierce generals under his command. They are as fast as running rabbits and have natural supernatural powers. Today I have learned a lot!"

Hui'an smiled with a bit of pride:

"These are nothing but trifles to us, the Gods."

"Do you think that with the strength of our God and the Du'e Army, is it necessary for us to pretend to be descendants of the Meng family to negotiate with you?"

Hong Shizhong shook his head and smiled with satisfaction:

"You are still alive, and now you have become a great general and inherited the Meng family's legacy. Your father and brother will definitely be very happy if they are still alive!"

"Yes, they didn't let me join the army and forced me to get married. If they were still alive and saw what I went through, I'm afraid they would have regretted it a long time ago!"

The two reminisced about the past and became closer, and Hui'an brought up the issue of peace talks again.

"Uncle Hong, to tell you the truth, the God had originally planned to kill the generals of the Wei army that had not yet surrendered until they surrendered."

"I learned that Uncle Hong had been following my father's wishes and treating the soldiers well. I couldn't bear to see my father's former subordinates suffer, so I took the initiative to ask for permission to come and negotiate."

The implication of this statement is obvious.

If the goal cannot be achieved through peace talks this time, the original strategy will be adopted, killing generals until the army is demoralized and surrenders.

Having seen Hui'an's methods, Hong Shi knew that the other party was not bragging, but he was not afraid of death.

"Ling Shuang, you should know that I, Hong, and the Liaodong Army are not the kind of people who are afraid of death!"

Hui'an softened his expression and said:

"Of course I know that Uncle Hong is not a coward! The Liaodong Army is also full of strong men! That's why he can't bear to see his pearls buried in the dust, and wants everyone to live a good life!"

The warmth from old friends faded away, and the atmosphere between the two sides became cold again.

Hong Shizhong said with a hint of sarcasm:

"What kind of preferential conditions can the Du'e Army offer?"

Hui An didn't care about his change in attitude and said in a gentle voice:

"Uncle Hong should have heard of the various military policies of my Du'e Army. I can guarantee that the Liaodong Army will enjoy the same treatment after they surrender."

Hong Shizhong was dismissive.

"How can our Liaodong Army be bought by gold, silver, copper and iron!"

Hui An was not angry and continued:

"Uncle Hong, do you know what the greatest wish of the lower-class military households is?"

Hong Shizhong said:

"Of course, it means promotion, wealth, and a wife and children!"

Hui An said firmly:

"wrong!"

"A general's success is the result of the sacrifices of thousands of men. Only a very small number of men can actually be promoted. They have been soldiers for so many years that they no longer have such dreams."

"Their wish is to no longer serve in the military, to no longer have to fight in wars, to be able to return to their hometowns and live and work in peace!"

Hui'an's voice was loud and clear, and his tone was so powerful that all the soldiers on the city wall were moved.

Because her words touched everyone's heart.

Hong Shizhong was shocked when he saw the expressions of the soldiers.

There is no need to ask any more questions to know that Hui'an is right.

Seeing that he was silent, Hui'an continued to persuade him:

"Uncle Hong, whether you take them to join the Hu tribe or join forces with the remnant Wei army to cause chaos, you are only seeking your own death."

"Only our God can subdue the rebels and bandits on all sides with our powerful strength, truly realize world peace, and let the soldiers and civilians at the border enjoy a prosperous age!"

Hong Shizhong remained silent, but there was a wavering look on his face.

Although he had never fought against the Du'e Army, he could see how powerful the Du'e Army was from the fact that it took only one month for the army to break through the elite-guarded Northern Zhili.

Add to that the mysterious God of Du'e.

Meng Lingshuang is just her subordinate, and no one can defeat her. If she goes there in person, it will not be difficult for her to kill the Liaodong army or the Hu army and cause them to collapse their morale.

Being an enemy of the God of Du'e is indeed a dead end.

Seeing that he was already wavering, Hui'an added fuel to the fire.

"Uncle Hong, ask your soldiers, what do they want to protect, the corrupt Wei Dynasty, or the land under their feet and the people who live on this land?"

She pointed to an old soldier on the battlement.

"Look at those gray-haired soldiers. They have fought for the peace of Liaodong for their entire lives. Do you want them to be displaced and die tragically on the battlefield because of your blind loyalty, or do you want them to have enough food and clothing and enjoy their old age?"

Hong Shizhong thought about the recent panic-stricken expressions of the Liaodong Army soldiers, and looked at those soldiers who were already gray-haired but still had to go to the battlefield to die, and finally they were defeated.

With a heavy look on his face, he untied the sword from his waist, knelt on the ground, and presented his hands:

"Liaodong General Hong Shizhong leads the Liaodong army to submit to the God of Du'e!"

In this way, Hui'an conquered the Liaodong Army without losing a single soldier.

Hui'an stood on the Yongping City Tower, looking at the bleak sky in the north, and said silently in his heart:

"Father, brother, I'm back!"

"The shame of the Meng family and the Liaodong Army will soon be washed away with the blood of the Hu people!"
