Chapter 1143 Entering River City

The news of River City was delivered by the Griffin Knight who was stationed in River City to deliver information. The news was a day ago.

"According to the analysis of the commander stationed in Hecheng, this time is most likely just a tentative attack. In the next three to five days, the opponent's large army is very likely to arrive, so you may have to set off immediately." Jimo Looking at the information in his hand, he said.

Chen Fang was not happy, and said: "I just learned about this matter, and I have to go out again before my butt is hot. How about it so soon?"

Chen Fang was quite unhappy when he had just finished beating the giant beast, had just had a rest all night, and hadn't even shared dog food with his wife yet, so he was rushing to help.

Unwilling, Chen Fang suddenly had an idea.

"If you don't hear people, you should lead your troops there first. It will take three days on the way. I can stay home with my wife for two days and then I can catch up, okay?"

"What happened to the giant beast yesterday made her uneasy. I want to accompany her to calm down these two days."

During the giant beast incident, Wu Yaoyan was unavoidably frightened. Even if Chen Fang came back unharmed, her emotions would still fluctuate. She was pregnant, and her emotions had a great impact on the development of her unborn child. Chen Fang wanted to stay for two days , accompany her well and stabilize her emotions.

Although it is possible to make an order as a commander in chief, it is a private matter after all, so Chen Fang made the request in his personal capacity.

When Jimo and Wenren heard this, their expressions changed.

Especially Wen Ren, she was looking forward to leading the army northward with Chen Fang this time, but Chen Fang had other ideas, and his expression was dark and gloomy.

Wen Ren is not an unreasonable person, but when she heard Chen Fang say that, she felt upset.

It is inevitable for a woman to be irritable when facing the person she likes and being so interested in other women, so she said in a strange way:

"Hehe, you are a handsome man, you can decide whether you can do it or not, I don't dare to have any opinions."

No matter how stupid Chen Fang was, he could hear the displeasure in Wenren's tone, scratching his nose and not knowing what to say.

It seems that what I do is really dishonest, let others do things, but I live comfortably for two days.

Jimo was in a good mood, but she still came out to smooth things over.

"Wenren, you just agree. Chen Fang was really tired from fighting the giant beast before. It's better to rest at home for two days."

Seeing that Jimo had said that, Wen Ren could only hold back his temper, after all, Chen Fang really needed to rest.

Wen Ren curled his lips and said, "Hmph, this time it's up to you."

Chen Fang raised his eyebrows with joy, and quickly thanked him.

"I knew you were reasonable."

"snort."

Wenren snorted coldly and refused to look at Chen Fang.

Jimo turned a blind eye to Chen Fang's thanks and just said, "How many troops do you plan to send this time?"

Speaking of business, Chen Fang became serious.

"Without information from Lake City, I'm not sure how many troops to send, but it should not exceed seven thousand."

"Is seven thousand too little?" Jimo said worriedly.

Chen Fang sighed: "I also want to lead more troops, but I can't."

Wen Ren said: "Why not, we also recruited a lot of soldiers before, and now the total number of soldiers in Nirvana City has reached 130,000."

Chen Fang shook his head.

"The 30,000 troops in Jiangcheng guard and monitor the southern border and cannot be transferred away."

"Sifangweicheng, plus Nirvana City, each city has 10,000 soldiers, and these 50,000 soldiers must not move."

"Dahe in the east, after this incident, I want to build a city there to guard it, with a garrison of 30,000 troops."

"The rest of the army will be rotated, and the replaced army will undergo intensive training, so that the current army, which is mostly recruits, can be fully trained and enter a virtuous circle."

"So for the sake of the future, I won't bring too many soldiers this time."

Jimo and Wenren didn't expect Chen Fang to think so much.

"But what if there are a lot of troops coming from Hucheng this time? Are you going to give up Hecheng?" Jimo asked.

Chen Fang nodded, "Yes, if the opponent's army is too powerful, I really plan to do so."

Hearing people asked: "Why? River City can be regarded as our northern barrier. If we give up, it won't be possible for others to drive down and directly attack Nirvana City."

Chen Fang glanced at Wenren with relief. Her ability to have such a consciousness shows that she often thinks on her own, although her thinking is a little wrong.

"You know why I didn't send more soldiers to Hecheng before, but just supported one random person to manage Hecheng, and only allowed a small number of troops to station here."

Wenren lowered his head and pondered.

After a while, Wenren raised his head and said in surprise: "Could it be that you don't actually regard Hecheng as the barrier I mentioned, but rather as an alarm post?"

Chen Fang admired Wenren's keen thinking, he was able to find out the mistakes in his previous thinking so quickly, and said, "Not bad."

"Our most important goal now is to develop Nirvana City."

"River City is too far away from our Nirvana City. If it wants to serve as a barrier, we need to divide our troops and garrison it, and we need to support it with various resources. This will definitely hinder the development of Nirvana City, and the gains outweigh the losses."

When Nirvana City has not yet developed, and its strength is not enough to radiate and take care of River City, it is too expensive to use it as a barrier, and it can only be used as a warning post.

"So, this time we will go north to support Hecheng. We don't plan to hold on. If we can hold it, we will fight. If we can't hold it, we will give up."

After hearing this, Jimo and Wenren felt that Chen Fang's plan was very reasonable, and it was the best plan at present.

"Okay, that's all for now."

"Over there in the army, Wenren, you go and gather, seven thousand is fine, no recruits..."

After Chen Fang finished explaining, Jimo and Wenren left.

After the two women left, Wu Yaoyan came out of the room.

"Are you going to go on an expedition?"

Wu Yaoyan walked to Chen Fang's side, leaning against his arms in a bad mood.

Chen Fang embraced Wu Yaoyan's shoulders, and replied softly, "Well, we'll leave in two days."

Wu Yaoyan raised her head and touched Chen Fang's face, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, I actually know that you prefer to live an ordinary life."

Chen Fang sighed and said, "Yes, but the world is not peaceful, and it is not easy to live a peaceful and peaceful life."

Wu Yaoyan bit her lip, and said with difficulty: "If you really want to, let's leave, find a place where no one is around, and live quietly."

Chen Fang looked at Wu Yaoyan in amazement and said, "Are you willing to leave Xiaobai alone?"

Wu Yaoyan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't bear it."

Then her expression became firm again, she looked into Chen Fang's eyes very seriously and said, "But if it's your wish, I won't hesitate."

Once she put her heart on Gong Xiaobai, now her heart is all on Chen Fang.

At some point, Chen Fang's status in her heart has surpassed that of Gong Xiaobai.

Chen Fang was moved in his heart, rubbed Wu's coquettish and soft long hair and said, "I yearn for a peaceful life, but that doesn't mean I can let it go."

Looking up at the courtyard and the high pavilion outside the courtyard wall, Chen Fang said again: "Whether it's our home or all kinds of people around me, I can't let go."

"So, don't think too much, and don't force yourself to agree with me just because you take into account my thoughts. Compared to that, I would rather you live a carefree life."

Wu Yaoyan looked at Chen Fang quietly, her eyes were full of love.

"kindness."

Wu Yaoyan was pregnant, and Chen Fang didn't want to talk about heavy topics that would affect her mood.

"Okay, I'll be with you for the past two days, now I'm going to cook, what do you want to eat?"

"I like to eat whatever you do."

"Then I'll do it for you..."

Chen Fang supported Wu Yaoyan and entered the room.

For the next two days, Chen Fang stayed with Wu Yaoyan all the time.

Early in the morning of the third day, Chen Fang packed up his things and bid farewell to Wu Yaoyan, went to the political affairs hall, received the supplies Jimo had prepared for him, and bid farewell to everyone by the way, but Mei Mei seemed to be avoiding him and did not see .

After saying goodbye, Chen Fang set off on a griffin to chase the leading army.

All the way without rest, when Chen Fang caught up with Wenren, the army was only ten kilometers away from Hecheng.

Counting the time he spent on the road, it took Wenren and his army more than two days to arrive at Hecheng. This speed was too fast, and it was only possible by forced marching.

Fearing that something happened in Hecheng, Wenren would only speed up the army's advance after hearing the news.

Chen Fang drives the griffin to the ground and finds a celebrity in the army.

"I'm here. Why are the troops marching forcibly? Is there something new in Hecheng?"

Seeing Chen Fang's arrival, Wen Ren subconsciously rejoiced, but was soon pressed down by her.

"Well, on the way, I met someone from Hecheng who sent news that Hucheng's 30,000 troops are marching towards Hecheng and need support."

"How long will it take for the enemy army to reach Hecheng?"

"Estimated tomorrow morning."

"That means we can enter the city before the enemy."

"kindness."

Chen Fang thought for a while and said, "How many Griffin Knights have you transferred this time?"

Wen Ren replied: "I only brought ten for scouting, I sent them all out to scout the enemy's movements and collect intelligence."

Chen Fang nodded, Wenren did a good job, the two armies are fighting, intelligence is very important.

"Then let's hurry up and try to enter the city in the shortest possible time so that the soldiers can rest."

"yes."

At dusk, Chen Fang led the army to Hecheng, and Li Ao, the puppet city lord, led a group of people to greet him outside the city.

"My lord, we've been looking forward to it day and night, and we've finally got you here."

Li Ao kept his humble and respectful posture very low, flattering Chen Fang with a lot of dog legs.

"In the city, I prepared a sumptuous dinner for my lord, and I beg you to show me your face."

Chen Fang was indifferent to such a social occasion like a dinner party, so he immediately rejected it.

"I won't attend the dinner party. It's not suitable now. Let's wait until later."

Seeing that he was rejected, Li Ao thought that Chen Fang was not happy and quickly apologized: "What your lord said is that the current enemy is indeed inappropriate. It is us Meng Lang, please forgive me."

Chen Fang waved his hand, "Being inappropriate doesn't mean you're guilty. You also have good intentions. I won't fail to see it. I just personally don't like this kind of occasion. Don't think too much about it. Be careful."

Li Ao was secretly relieved when he heard this.

Chen Fang went on to say: "Have you arranged the place where the army rests, and prepared the food?"

When Li Ao heard the question, his expression changed a little. After subconsciously looking at his subordinates, he said, "My lord, the place where the army rests is arranged by Mr. Liu Da. We don't know the specifics, but I have already sent a I have been notified, Lord Liu Da should come soon."

Who is Liu Da?

Chen Fang was puzzled.

The heard person reminded in a low voice: "Liu Da is the commander of the troops stationed here, and he is from our Nirvana City."

Chen Fang saw the change in Li Ao's expression before, but he didn't think much about it, and just said lightly: "Then just wait."

Li Ao and the others naturally had no objections.

So everyone waited.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no one.

Chen Fang said coldly: "Have you really sent someone to notify you?"

Li Ao broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "My lord, we dare not lie, we have indeed sent someone to notify you."

Chen Fang looked at Li Ao coldly, thoughtful, but he didn't show it on the surface, and said lightly: "Send someone to lead the way."

He didn't say anything clearly, but Li Ao knew that Chen Fang was going to find Liu Da, so he quickly said that he could lead the way in person.

Chen Fang is naturally casual, anyone can lead the way.

After letting the army take a temporary rest outside the city, Chen Fang and Wen Ren led a dozen soldiers, followed by Li Ao and other Hecheng officials, to find Liu Da.

After seven turns and eight turns, Chen Fang followed Li Ao to a big house.

"Why do you come here instead of going to the barracks?"

Li Ao explained respectfully: "Lord Liu Da usually lives here, not in the barracks."

Chen Fang looked at the closed door and frowned.

"Go and knock."

Li Ao nodded and went to knock on the door himself.

"Bump bump."

"Open the door, open the door quickly."

After a while, there was an arrogant voice from inside the door.

"Who, I'm impatient to live, knocking on the door so loudly, do you know whose home this is?"

"Squeak."

The door opened, and a servant with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and snobby eyes poked his head out, looked Li Ao at the door up and down, and said, "So it's the city lord, what's the matter?"

The servant's tone was very casual, and he obviously didn't take Li Ao seriously.

Seeing this scene, Wen Ren whispered next to Chen Fang: "This servant is so arrogant. Although Li Ao is a puppet supported by us, he is still the Lord of the city after all. Why does he use such an attitude towards a person with a higher status than him?" ?”

Chen Fang was not surprised, and said lightly: "The seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's gate, what do you think?"

Naturally, people who heard this didn't understand, so Chen Fang explained it a little bit.

Wen Ren suddenly realized, "By bullying others, a fox pretends to be a tiger."

"Um."

At the door, Li Ao said to the servant with a good face: "Is your lord there? We have something to look for him."

When Chen Fang heard Li Ao say this, he narrowed his eyes.

The servant inside the door looked at Li Ao, then at Chen Fang and the others standing behind, and said impatiently: "Your Excellency is busy now, please wait."

After speaking, the servant closed the door, blocking Chen Fang and the others from the outside.

Seeing this, Li Ao quickly knocked on the door again, but there was no movement inside.

Walking up to Chen Fang awkwardly, Li Ao showed shame on his face, and said: "My lord, I am incompetent and didn't ask to open the door. You see what to do next."

Before Chen Fang could respond, Wen Ren said angrily, "What should I do? Come here, someone, open the door for me. I want to see how important this Liu Da thinks of himself."

The soldiers were about to go up, but they were stopped by Chen Fang.

Then Chen Fang said lightly: "Take me to the barracks."

Wenren and Li Ao were taken aback when they heard this.

"Master, this..."

In formal occasions, people in the audience generally use a formal address for Chen Fang.

Before Wenren could say anything, Chen Fang gave her a look.

Hearing people saw it, although they were puzzled, they didn't go on.

And Li Ao's face changed when he heard Wenren call Chen Fang "Marshal", but he quickly retracted it.

"Okay, handsome, please follow me."

Then still under the leadership of Li Ao, everyone went to the barracks.
