Chapter 671 Heading to the North to Conquer Liyang City
After a brief meeting with the heads of the three mansions, Ning Fan returned to his small house.
Although it was a temporary rental, Ning Fan also asked Ning Yan to make special arrangements. The man had already sent the maids and servants, and now the mansion was a little lively.
However, Ning Fan had no time to take care of these. Her Majesty the Empress gave him three days to win a game in the North Territory, and there were only five days left for the system's task, so it was time for him to focus on the North Territory.
"Ning Yan!"
"My Lord!"
"You don't need to call me Lord at home!"
"Yes, Master!"
"..."
After Ning Yan left, Ning Fan silently opened the system. Now there were fewer red dots on the dynamic military sand table.
He dared to boast in front of the Empress that the recovery of Liyang City was not simply relying on the system.
You know, Liyang City was the place where Zhuge Liang used the empty city plan. Before leaving, he left a lot of bases in Liyang City.
There was even a secret passage in and out of the city. Within three days, he didn't need to do anything himself, just a letter, and Liyang City could be broken.
However, these methods naturally could not be known to the empress, so he still had to go to the front line in person.
...
"My lord."
Lin Zhengxiang came, and brought a group of elite soldiers and generals. These people were the backbone of the Black Ice Platform in Dali.
Each of them was trained by Jia Xu himself, proficient in disguise, infiltration, assassination and other skills, and each of them was extraordinary.
"This group of people are all the backbone of Xueyue City. I wonder what your plan is?"
"First, all of you will get into the Phoenix Tower. I hope you can help me completely control the Phoenix Tower."
"Now, the Phoenix Tower has three mansions and one department. The Black Mansion and the White Mansion are under my control. However, the Red Mansion is responsible for guarding the palace, which is not very meaningful."
"Although the Dark Department is under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Tower, it is not under my command. After you go in, beware of the people in the Dark Department."
"Yes!"
"Go down and prepare!"
Ning Fan waved his hand, and everyone except Lin Zhengxiang left the hall.
"Lord Lin, who is in control of the clue that Zhuge Liang left in Liyang City?"
"Liyang!"
Lin Zhengxiang was shocked, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Lord, I know that clue, but now Liyang City has fallen into the hands of Dayan, and the situation in the city is unclear. Are you going to Liyang City?"
"No!"
Ning Fan shook his head, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I want to help Dali and recapture Liyang City!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhengxiang's face showed a bit of shock. Not to mention that Liyang City is now heavily guarded, Dayan's troops have been deployed on the north bank of the Lijiang River. If Dali wants to capture Liyang, it must at least cross the river first.
However, with hundreds of thousands of troops across the river bank, how could Dayan let them get close easily?
"Sir, this matter is probably... not that simple!"
"There are nearly 300,000 Dayan troops in Liyang City now, and it is Dayan's grain storage place. With the national strength of Dali, it is as difficult to capture Liyang as to reverse the situation in the northern border."
"Hehe!"
Ning Fan smiled confidently and said lightly: "No problem!"
"Send a message to Zhao Changying and order him to lead the army west out of Xuanjian Pass!"
"The army is moving closer to Dayan's southern border, and let our people spread the news in Dayan, saying that Dali has reached an alliance with Dayu Hu Nu and is preparing to divide Dayan."
"Aren't there spies from Yanlongwei in the Dali army?"
"You can use them."
Hearing Ning Fan's words, Lin Zhengxiang looked at him deeply, his eyes full of curiosity.
What exactly is this person?
Being able to mobilize the troops of Xuanjian Pass, even Lord Jia doesn't have such power, right?
...
The palace
Gong Yuyan hurried to the imperial study. When she saw Mu Qingcheng, she couldn't help but droop her face and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, who is Shen Yu? Why was he appointed as the leader of Phoenix Terrace?"
"You know?"
"Heh!" Gong Yuyan said unhappily: "Your leader has dismissed me."
"Why?"
"Didn't you mean it?"
Mu Qingcheng frowned: "Did he talk nonsense in front of you?"
So, Gong Yuyan recounted everything that happened after Ning Fan returned to Phoenix Terrace. Her Majesty's eyes were cold: "This person is arrogant and unruly, but I don't know if his talent can match his temper?"
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"I'm sending someone to investigate!"
"Hmm? "
Gong Yuyan was even more confused. When Mu Qingcheng selectively told her what happened in the hall, Gong Yuyan couldn't help but sneer on her face: "Recapture Liyang City within three days?"
"It's ridiculous."
"Our hundreds of thousands of troops in Dali have never defended the north of the Li River. How did he break through Dayan's blockade and conquer the important town in the north? "
"I'm curious too!"
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that he has other intentions?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Mu Qingcheng shook her head and said lightly: "He alone can't make any waves. Besides, Du Liufeng has been ineffective during this period, and he should be taught a lesson! "
"Your Majesty, is there any news from Dayu?"
"Dayu sent troops and tied down part of Dayan's main force, but no large-scale war broke out. "
"Then...what is his attitude?"
Hearing Gong Yuyan's question, Mu Qingcheng showed a complicated expression on her face: "Now he has been ordered to supervise the country. He has just experienced a war and does not have many soldiers and horses available."
"I am afraid that even if he comes forward, it will be difficult to resist Dayan's army!"
"Can Mr. Zhuge come to help?"
Gong Yuyan is still a little unwilling. The current situation of Dali is becoming more and more critical. If it continues like this, the country will no longer be a country!
Mu Qingcheng's face showed a bit of disappointment. He paced back and forth in the hall and said in a deep voice: "Within half a month, Dayan will definitely raise troops again. Let's talk about it then!"
"Yes!"
Gong Yuyan seemed to feel the pressure from Mu Qingcheng and said softly: "Your Majesty, the master has agreed to send five elders to help."
"Very good!"
"I am going to lead the army in person. With the support of these masters, it will be safer."
"Lead the army in person?"
Gong Yuyan was stunned and said with some concern: "Now we are at a disadvantage, whether in terms of troops or combat power. Your Majesty, if you take risks in person, I am afraid..."
"I have no way out!"
Gong Yuyan was silent. There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall. A servant bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Du Liufeng of Phoenix Terrace sent a message that Shen Yu went north."
"Oh?"
"He really dared?"
Mu Qingcheng's face showed a bit of surprise, and then asked: "Have you found out the identity of this person?"
"No!"
