Yu Chen was overjoyed after learning about the Qiang people's actions. Since they were so self-aware, he did not have to make a move.
Now, other than the Hetao Plain area in Shuofang Prefecture and the north of the Great Wall in Yanmen Prefecture, which was still occupied by Xianbei, there were not many other races in Bingzhou.
If it wasn't for the fact that Yu Chen didn't have enough soldiers and that crossing the Yellow River was difficult, he would have sent troops to recover the Hetao Plain.
The Qiang people began to flee westward. Yu Chen ordered Zhang He to lead his troops to patrol the fish that had slipped through the net while he led the army back to Meiji to rest and prepare to return to the Yin Mansion.
At the same time, a fast horse rushed into Meiji…
"Report! An urgent military report came from Yanmen!"
"Hurry up and send it up!" Yu Chen quickly took the report and checked it.
Yu Chen's expression suddenly turned serious when he saw the message. He then handed it over to Ju Shou.
"Qian Man, this useless brat, actually lured Chief Kui's army to Yanmen, truly detestable!”
Qiushou carefully read the information on it and passed it to Zhao Yun and the others. He thought for a moment and said,"My lord, the most important thing now is to quickly lead the army back to Yanmen and immediately head north to Ping City to defend against the Xianbei people heading south.”
"Gongyu is right, Zilong!" Yu Chen nodded. Immediately pass down the order, the army will immediately gather back to Yanmen, and send a message to Xu Yi, asking him to lead the army after the patrol.”
"Here!" Zhao Yun clasped her hands and immediately walked out of the tent.
After a while, the army was assembled. Yu Chen did not delay and immediately set off on his return journey.
On the way, Yu Chen asked Ju Shou,"Gongyu, is there any way to resolve the danger of the Xianbei people going south?"”
Ju Shou replied," My lord, Qian Man must have been defeated by Kui Tou and had nowhere to go. That's why he went south to ask for my lord's help. According to my understanding, my lord had used Qian Man before, causing chaos within Xianbei. Therefore, in this difficult moment, Qian Man thought that my lord would still help him. How naive and laughable!"”
At this point, Qiushou sneered and continued,""It's very simple to resolve this crisis. My lord only needs to guard Ping City and not let Qian Man enter the city. With Chief Kui's ability, it's extremely easy to capture Qian Man. Moreover, with the failure of the previous siege, Kui Tou should not dare to go south easily. Therefore, the lord need not worry too much.”
Yu Chen understood a little after hearing what Qiushou said, and her nervous heart relaxed.
However, the Xianbei army had chased Qian Man all the way to Yanmen, which made him very unhappy!
Did he think he could come and go as he pleased?
Yu Chen's eyes turned sharp."Chief Qian Man, these two people treat Yanmen Prefecture as their own home? I want them, I want all the Xianbei people to know that Yanmen is the territory of the Great Han Dynasty, and they can't come and go as they please! Without my permission, they can't even take half a step in!”
Qiushou was deeply shocked by Yu Chen!
He saw the true aura and dignity that a big man should have in Yu Chen!
He saw the courage of the Han Dynasty!
This was the lord that he should assist!
Although it was just a few words, Yu Chen had ignited the anger in Qiushou's heart!
That's right! How can we let these foreign tribes invade our territory?
The hot blood in Jiushou's body was stirred by Yu Chen's few words. He was excited and cupped his hands at Yu Chen."My lord! I swear to follow my lord and show off the might of my Han Dynasty!”
"Alright!" Yu Chen smiled. These foreign tribes have harassed my Great Han for so many years, so let them experience my Great Han's fury! A 400-year-old man was not someone they could casually manipulate!”
Yu Chen's army did not even return to the Yin Mansion. Instead, they came straight to Ping City. Meanwhile, Hao Zhao had already arrived at Ping City and was even prepared to defend the city.
With Yu Chen's 90,000 reinforcements, Hao Zhao was confident that he could defend Ping City even if the Xianbei army sent a million troops.
On the evening of Yu Chen's arrival, a Xianbei army of only tens of thousands arrived at Ping Cheng.
However, they stopped when they were hundreds of meters away from Ping City. Then, a few of them rode their horses forward and arrived at the city wall of Ping City.
One of them shouted," General of the Han Dynasty in the city, we are the subordinates of Xianbei Chanyu Qian Man. We are currently being pursued by Chief Kui's army and want to enter the city for protection. Please open the city gates and let us in."”
Yu Chen did not show up. He asked Hao Zhao to go up and reply,"Who knows if you're pretending to be Chief Kui's troops and trying to trick them into opening the city gate? Leave quickly, or my longbow will not recognize you!”
The Xianbei general panicked and quickly said,"Didn't you promise to help us defeat Chief Kui and make our leader Qian Man the Chief? Haven't you Han people always been ashamed of not keeping your promises? Are you trying to deceive us?”
"We promised, but we didn't say when we would help!" Hao Zhao snorted coldly. Moreover, there's no need to keep your word to foreign tribes like you. Cut the crap! Hurry up and get lost! Otherwise, I'll shoot!"
"You…"
The Xianbei general was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but now that the Kui Leader army was getting closer and closer, he could only beg,"General, please do me a favor! As long as you let us into the city, we are willing to agree to any conditions.”
Hao Zhao didn't dare to reply. He turned to look at Yu Chen.
Yu Chen thought for a moment, then came to the female wall and said to the Xianbei generals below the city,"I am Yu Chen, the Great Han Dynasty's Liao Crossing General. I agree to your request, but you must remember what you just said. Other than that, I have a few more requests. As long as you agree, I'll let you enter the city.”
When the general heard this, he immediately said excitedly,"General, please speak quickly. No matter what the conditions are, we will agree!”
Yu Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent, but she smiled and said,""It's very simple. Line up your men and hand over all your weapons and belongings. Tie your hands and I'll let you into the city.”
" This..." The general hesitated. He could understand if they handed over their weapons, but he didn't want to hand over their belongings. The last condition really put him in a difficult position.
If that was really the case, they would really become fish in other people's mouths, and they could be killed however they wanted!
However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much. There were wolves in front and tigers behind. If Yu Chenshou promised, they might still be able to live, but if they were caught by Chief Kui outside, only death awaited them!
Yu Chen didn't want to waste time with him. Seeing that he didn't agree, she said to Hao Zhao,""Get the archers ready!"
The Xianbei general quickly said,"Agree!" We all agree!"
"Very good!" Yu Chen smiled. My city gates will only be open for an hour. After that, no matter how many people are outside, I won't accept them.”
"Good!" The Xianbei general quickly went back and ordered the Xianbei soldiers to do as Yu Chen said.
In Ping City, there were already countless machetemen and archers lying in ambush in the residential area around the city gate. They were waiting for the Xianbei army to enter the city. What awaited them was a massacre!
