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

Hongyao was stunned for a long time, but did not hear Chen Nan's reply.

Thinking the other person hadn't heard him clearly, he asked again, "General, was he buried alive or...?"

“They were definitely buried alive. All the prisoners were brought back to Lecheng.”

Chen Nan replied coldly.

"Alright, I'll have someone dig a hole right here and bury the body."

Hongyao and Wuxu each had their own duties: one arranged for the soldiers to dig pits, and the other was in charge of the prisoners.

The two looked enviously at Chen Nan, who had already gone far away.

Having already walked far away, Chen Nan had no mind to think about those trivial matters.

His mind was always on Wang Dong's long spear.

He couldn't understand why a small place like Western Shu could produce weapons that carried a hint of power.

It's important to know that to forge a weapon that exudes power, one must at least possess the strength of a half-step Grandmaster.

There simply couldn't be such a person in Western Shu.

Just as he was considering it, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly came from his mind.

[Ding! Suzhou is in grave danger, besieged by 300,000 troops of the Great Qian Dynasty. Please respond promptly.]

[Mission Reward: Ten years of cultivation power will be awarded to the host!]

[Mission Failed: All rewards obtained by the host through the system have been eliminated!]

"Suzhou is under siege by the Great Qian army?"

Chen Nan muttered to himself.

He could never have imagined that the entire army of 100,000 from Western Shu had been wiped out.

Meanwhile, the 300,000-strong army of the Great Qian was besieged between Lecheng and Sucheng.

Chen Nan couldn't understand how Jiang Zhe could have the courage to attack Suzhou City regardless of everything.

But since the system has already issued a warning, it means that Suzhou must be in crisis.

With this in mind, Chen Nan quickened his pace as he returned to Lecheng.

A quarter of an hour later, inside the Lecheng County government office.

Hongming, with bandages wrapped around his calves, sat alone on a high seat, with Hongze standing expressionlessly beside him.

A soldier with a face covered in dust was kneeling in front of her.

Just as Chen Nan entered the county government office, the soldier began his story.

"General, Jiang Zhe is leading the Great Qian army in a full-scale attack on Suzhou."

"General Hongze previously led away 50,000 troops, leaving Su City vulnerable to air defense."

"I barely escaped from Suzhou by risking my life."

"Suzhou had already fallen before the little one could escape."

"And Jiang Zhe's final military order was to massacre the city!"

Only then did Chen Nan realize that the crisis in Sucheng actually came from Jiang Zhe of Daqian.

After hearing the soldier's description, Hongming stood up angrily and shouted, "Men, prepare the army! Follow me into battle!"

"Hongming! Don't be so impulsive!"

Chen Nan's voice suddenly came out.

Hongming, who was in the hall, was surprised and asked in confusion, "Chen Nan? Didn't you lead your troops to launch a night raid on the Western Shu army?"

"It's over. Wang Dong is dead. This is his gun. The Western Shu army is finished too."

As Chen Nan explained, he threw a long, black spear on the ground.

Looking at the trembling spear on the ground, Hongming's eyes gradually hardened.

She suddenly realized that after meeting Chen Nan, she seemed to have forgotten that she was once a war god general of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Instead of being a kept woman or a caged bird by Chen Nan.

Gradually, her aura began to rise.

Until the very end, the aura unique to a seventh-rank martial artist was revealed to Chen Nan.

With a resolute expression, Hongming said coldly, "Commander Chen, the situation in Suzhou is critical. As the commander-in-chief, I must go!"

Chen Nan also knew that Hongming was dead.

The current Hongming is the true God of War of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Getting out of this predicament is also the only way for her to break through to the eighth-rank martial artist level in the future.

Immediately, Chen Nan stopped trying to dissuade him and smiled lightly: "Alright, Commander, as the deputy commander, it is my duty to stand with my soldiers!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The next second, his smile vanished, and Hongming said solemnly, "Someone come here!"

Two soldiers rushed into the county government office.

Hongming then spoke: "Pass on my military order, instructing Hongyao to clean up the mess as quickly as possible."

He then led an army of 50,000 to reinforce Suzhou.

"Order Hongze and Wu Xu to lead 30,000 troops to guard Lecheng."

"Without my order, all four gates of Le City are under complete martial law!"

After assigning the task in a few words.

The two men led the remaining 120,000 troops of Lecheng and marched towards Sucheng at a rapid pace.

In the early morning, the sun slowly rises on the horizon.

Hongming and Chen Nan, leading an army of 120,000, frowned as they looked at Sucheng, which was two miles away.

Two miles away, Chen Nan could smell a pungent, bloody odor.

At this moment, he recalled the soldier who had reported to Hongming yesterday, squinted his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Jiang Zhe actually massacred the city?"

"What did you say?"

Hongming, who was next to him, didn't have such a good sense of smell and didn't smell the blood in the air.

Chen Nan bit his lip, trying his best to appear normal.

He repeated, still somewhat excitedly, "Jiang Zhe actually massacred the city."

"What did you say? Jiang Zhe massacred the city?" Hongming's expression changed drastically, and he turned his head to stare intently at Chen Nan's bitter expression.

Even though Chen Nan had repeated himself to her, she still refused to believe it.

Jiang Zhe actually went so far as to massacre an entire city.

Chen Nan lowered his head, covering his face with his hands: "Yes, the smell of blood in the air is too strong. Unless hundreds of thousands of people have died, there wouldn't be such a strong smell of blood."

Hongming also knew that Chen Nan had no reason to lie to her, and would never lie to her.

In an instant, their mood gradually became heavy.

As they drew closer to Suzhou, the atmosphere among the Northern Wei army grew increasingly dejected.

In fact, a small number of people couldn't stand the strong smell of blood and deserted the main force.

He ran to the roadside and started vomiting profusely.

Meanwhile, in the imperial court of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Wu Fengluan frowned, her face frosty, and she gripped the military intelligence presented to her by the eunuch tightly in her hand.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Speak up!"

"Didn't you say that Jiang Zhe is currently engaged in a major battle with the Northern Wei on the border?"

"Why, why did such a humiliating battle report arrive?"

This battle report was naturally written by Jiang Zhe at Hongming's request.

Currently, only Wu Fengluan knows the contents of this book.

Among the civil officials, it was still the Grand Tutor, dressed in a red robe, who slowly walked to the center of the hall.

He spoke up, "Your Majesty, may I ask what the contents of this battle report are?"

The first person to step forward was actually the Grand Tutor, who was already in his seventies.

Wu Fengluan's face grew even uglier. Suppressing her anger, she tried to speak as calmly as possible: "Grand Tutor Tian, ​​you see for yourself!"

He then casually tossed the battered and mangled battle report into the center of the hall.

Grand Tutor Tian bent down shakily to pick up the battle report from the ground and read it carefully and quietly.

"Today, the Great Qian has been defeated, and 300,000 troops are trapped..."

I only read the first few sentences; I didn't dare to read the rest at all.

After reading the above, he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the main hall.

Panting heavily, he soothed his chest: "Jiang Zhe has ruined my Great Qian! Jiang Zhe has ruined my Great Qian!"

"If the Prince of Zhenbei were here, how could our Great Qian have suffered such a complete defeat!"

He fainted immediately after those two sentences.

But when Wu Fengluan heard this, her face turned frosty.

For a moment, the court officials did not notice anything amiss with Wu Fengluan and rushed forward to help Grand Tutor Tian up.

Grand Tutor Tian is a veteran official of three dynasties; it would be a shame if he were to die of anger right here in the palace.

Then their reputation in Daqian would be completely ruined.

Just as everyone rushed forward to help him up.

Wu Fengluan, sitting on the dragon throne, sneered: "Let's see who dares to move!"

"Grand Tutor Tian has been a veteran official of three dynasties in our Great Qian Dynasty. Is Chen Nan really that important to us?"

But she seemed to have forgotten that when Chen Nan was around, there were always reports of victory, never such a crushing defeat.

Not only her, but Jiang Hai, who was chewing grapes beside her, also chimed in.

"That's right, His Majesty is the true ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty, while Chen Nan is merely a prince stripped of his title."

"As subjects, not only do you fail to share His Majesty's burdens, but you also dare to question His Majesty's decrees. Do you intend to rebel?"

Jiang Hai is being unfairly criticized.

His words caused the civil officials who were supporting the Grand Tutor to pause.

No one dared to glance at the Grand Tutor lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless.

Everyone timidly returned to their original positions.

However, the courtiers who returned to their seats looked at Jiang Hai with eyes full of anger.

Chen Nan is truly remarkable. With Chen Nan around, these people don't need to worry about military matters at all.

Just leave everything to him.

Now things are really bad. Chen Nanbei has been dismissed, his title has been stripped, and the Great Qian Dynasty has suffered a complete defeat.

The funniest thing is that the most authoritative person in the Great Qian Dynasty was completely unaware of this.

They handed over such a talented person to the enemy without even asking.
