The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

As dusk fell, inside the Northern Wei camp.

While the soldiers in the camp were still dreaming.

Fang He quietly got up and put on his armor.

He glanced at his adjutant beside him, and asked in a low, cautious voice, "Is everything ready?"

"General, the orders have been given, but does the commander-in-chief really agree to us doing this?" The deputy general hesitated, his voice filled with doubt as he answered.

Fang He glared at him and whispered sternly, "What? I went to ask for permission myself, and you still doubt me?"

The lieutenant fell silent, no longer daring to refute.

Around midnight, Fang He lifted the tent flap and looked into the pitch-black night.

A smile crept across his lips: "Heh heh, Chen Nan, I hope you like this generous gift."

Soon after, the camp belonging to Fang and his 10,000 soldiers was completely empty.

Just as he led his 10,000 troops out of the camp under the cover of night, Chen Nan and two others quietly waited in the central tent.

Hongyao looked nervous, occasionally lifting the tent flap to look outside.

Chen Nan remained calm.

Only Hongming seemed to be struggling, sometimes sitting and sometimes standing up and pacing back and forth.

Suddenly, the sound of running could be heard outside.

Inside the tent, Wu Xu rushed in with a look of surprise and went straight to Chen Nan, kneeling down and saying, "Commander Chen, you were right! Fang He really did run away with the army."

"What? Fang He really defected to the enemy?" Hongming's eyes widened. The facts were right in front of her, but she still couldn't believe that Fang He would really defect to the enemy.

"Alright, now that Fang He has defected to the enemy, let's proceed according to the pre-arranged plan!"

Chen Nan suddenly stood up and explained the current situation in a few simple sentences.

He then ordered, "Wu Xu, take my token and put the entire army into wartime mode. Send out all the scouts!"

"Proceed according to your respective tasks in one hour!"

Chen Nan acted decisively and gave the order directly.

He knew that it was still some distance from here to Leshan'ao.

Although Fang He defected to the enemy, all of his men were infantry.

Immediate pursuit would only expose their intentions.

Wu Xu took the token and left the tent once again.

Just as Chen Nan was preparing to set off, countless figures hurried along the road to Leshan'ao, and every now and then two voices could be heard urging, "Faster, faster!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhe, who was in Lecheng, was not idle either.

He gathered all 300,000 troops together.

Hongze, on the other hand, did not rest either, but sat inside the large tent.

With dark circles under his eyes, he kept looking out of the camp.

time flies……

An hour later, at the Northern Wei camp.

Chen Nanduan was sitting in the main seat of the tent, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table.

Hongming sat on the left, Hongyao sat on the right, and Wuxu stood to his side.

Suddenly, he stood up and chuckled softly, "That's about enough."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three men simultaneously lit up.

They knew that the war between the Northern Wei and the Daqian would be completely set in motion because of this one sentence.

"Hongyao!"

Chen Nan shouted loudly.

"The general is here!"

Hongyao, who was called upon, immediately stood up.

"I order you to lead 20,000 cavalry to Leshan Pass at top speed, and set it ablaze as soon as you arrive!"

"Hongming, Wu Xu, General Qi Zheng, follow me straight to Lecheng!"

The military orders have been given; everyone is now assigned their tasks.

Hongyao led 20,000 cavalrymen and charged out of the camp without looking back.

Chen Nan slowly walked out of the camp, raised his head, looked south, and murmured, "Lecheng, I'm here!"

Hongming and Wuxu followed behind him.

At this moment, Hongming was completely unaware that, it seemed, he was the supreme commander of the army from the very beginning.

She seemed to have gotten used to obeying Chen Nan's orders.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of him, Chen Nan felt a surge of emotion.

He couldn't help but say, "Soldiers, it's late at night. I know you are very tired and exhausted."

"Now, look to your south."

"That's Lecheng, a city that countless brothers fought and lost their lives to conquer."

"But now the Great Qian has launched a counterattack, and the walls of Lecheng are stained with the blood of our Northern Wei brothers."

"Even now, five thousand remnants of our Northern Wei dynasty still remain in Lecheng."

"Now, I, Chen Nan, am about to lead my brothers to take back Lecheng."

"Tell me loudly, brothers, are you scared?"

The Northern Wei soldiers, who were originally exhausted, were mobilized by Chen Nan.

Everyone's face was filled with hatred, and some even showed signs of agitation.

They shouted loudly, "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

"Kill! Kill!"

Sensing the soldier's response, Chen Nan sighed slightly.

Memories of the past surfaced in my mind.

The last time he led an army of this size was during the Daqian era.

This time, he will appear as the ruler of the Northern Wei, while the Great Qian will become his enemy.

The world is so unpredictable!

Finally, Chen Nan waved his hand and said, "Brothers, follow me!"

More than 100,000 troops slowly drove out of the camp.

Meanwhile, Fang He, who had set off an hour earlier, was still on his way. Sitting on his warhorse, Fang He's eyelids twitched incessantly: "I have a feeling something big is about to happen?"

He muttered to himself as he looked ahead.

At this moment, the deputy general came to him again: "General, we are less than fifteen li away from Leshan Aobu. Should we take a break? The soldiers have been traveling non-stop and haven't had a rest at all."

Fang He snorted coldly: "Rest? What are you talking about?"

"We'll have time to rest once we get to Leshan'ao, but getting there as quickly as possible is the most important thing right now."

"Otherwise, if you ruin the commander's plans, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

The lieutenant left with a helpless expression to urge the army to speed up.

The scene shifts to the Lecheng County government office.

Jiang Zhe looked at the two generals in blue armor in front of him with a smile and ordered, "General Zhou, General Lin!"

"General, has a battle broken out?" The two men looked at Jiang Zhe with tense expressions.

Jiang Zhe didn't intend to hide it from the two of them and spoke up readily.

"Gentlemen, we've known each other for ten years and have always called each other brothers. I won't hide it from you, tonight is our chance!"

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up, and they moved closer.

Jiang Zhe recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

After they finished speaking, the smiles on their faces never faded.

"Ahem, the 300,000-strong army is ready to go!"

"I will trouble you two brothers to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Su City!"

Upon hearing this, the two people, who had been smiling, immediately changed their expressions.

General Zhou asked, "Brother, my brother and I are going to Suzhou. Where are you going, brother?"

Jiang Zhe naturally sensed the dissatisfaction in the two men's hearts.

It should be noted that Suzhou was defended by 10,000 troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Moreover, Hongze's 50,000-strong army was also nearby.

If those two dared to lead 100,000 men there, they would probably never return.

Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up, and he started making empty promises to the two of them.
