Chapter 61 The secrets of the past years, persuaded to surrender to Wentian!
"Lord Yan City, it's really you!"
"But, haven't you already..."
Wang Biao was about to speak but stopped.
Yan Nanchen smiled, looked at Xiao Han who was silent, and said, "Looking at him, he doesn't know I'm here at all."
"So, you brought him here."
Xiao Han nodded: "My name is Xiao Han, and I am a disciple of the Tianpu Peak of the Great Qin Martial Palace. This time the Great Zhou comes to invade, and I have been ordered to support Zhenwu City."
"I came here with no intention of offending City Lord Yan. I just wanted to find something."
Yan Nanchen asked with great interest: "Oh, it is indeed interesting. What is it? Can you tell me about it?"
Xiao Han didn't hide anything and directly threw out a fragment of the Jiuyouming Emperor's Order and showed it to Yan Nanchen.
"I know this thing!"
Yan Nanchen nodded firmly and said, "My wife, once raised a special pet animal."
"This beast is difficult to damage with a sword, but when I went out once, the sole of its foot was scratched by a piece of the same material in your hand."
"So, I remember it very clearly, but this thing only has so much, so I don't care about it."
"I don't know where the fragment is now. If you want it, you have to find it yourself."
Xiao Han cupped his fists and said, "Thank you City Lord Yan for making it possible!"
With his induction, Xiao Han was confident enough to find the fourth fragment.
However, Xiao Han was a little surprised that Yan Nanchen was so easy to talk to.
However, there were obviously some problems with the other party's situation, and it was hard for Xiao Han to ask.
Instead, Wang Biao, who was next to him, hesitated and asked.
"City Lord Yan, when I gave the old general an imperial edict to hang yourself in your mansion, we all believed it."
"But I didn't expect that you would be at the City Lord's Mansion all the time."
Wang Biao said with emotion.
Yan Nanchen may have been bored for too long, so he said without any worries about what happened back then: "Back then, Old General Xiang did come with the imperial edict."
"However, I was not ordered to hang myself, but I was ordered to live in seclusion in this city lord's mansion to atone for my sins."
"Because, my wife is actually a spy sent by Da Zhou."
"Secret military information on the border was leaked from me, causing the Qin Dynasty to lose one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. The monarch, out of consideration for the friendship between his clansmen, did not kill me. It is already a great favor from the emperor."
Xiao Han found the fourth fragment in front of the stone tablet next to him, and was very happy.
Yan Nanchen smiled and said, "Since you found it, it's yours."
Xiao Han nodded and asked: "City Lord Yan, do you want to imprison yourself here and never leave for the rest of your life?"
Yan Nanchen raised his head and glanced, pointed at Xiang Wentian who appeared slowly, and said, "Now I have to ask General Xiang what he means."
Xiang Wentian learned that Xiao Han and Wang Biao went to the city lord's mansion together. At first, he didn't believe that they knew about Yan Nanchen.
Now that the two of them knew it, Xiang Wentian didn't care and said directly: "This time, Zhou Wudao personally led an army of 200,000 to attack Zhenwucheng. I want to hear your opinion."
Hearing Zhou Wudao's name, Yan Nanchen's eyes were a little cold and he said: "This guy has always done anything to achieve his goal!"
"You have been working hard for many years in Zhenwucheng, how could Zhou Wudao not know about it?"
"But he still did it, and it still ended in failure. It would be strange if there was nothing fishy in it!"
"Years ago, he was able to sacrifice his concubine and lurk next to me secretly, as if he was trying to find out something."
"It was only because of an accident that it was exposed in advance!"
Xiao Han was secretly shocked. Zhou Wudao's behavior reminded him of Xiao Hongchang.
It is also about achieving the goal by any means necessary.
Xiang Wentian nodded slightly: "During this period, I have wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I have never been able to spare the time."
"I still don't know what Zhou Wudao's plan is. From what you said, it seems like you have some guesses?"
Yan Nanchen chuckled and said: "Old General Xiang, you have too many things to consider, but I am different."
"I think Zhou Wudao's purpose back then was to suppress Wucheng, and it's the same now!"
"In other words, if it is determined that Zhou Wudao's true purpose is to capture Zhenwucheng, what will he do?"
Xiang Wentian said silently: "The two hundred thousand troops will all be mobilized and go all out to attack Zhenwucheng."
"The longer time passes, the more unfavorable the situation will be for Zhou Wudao."
Yan Nanchen smiled and said: "Yes, but the current situation is that his 200,000 troops are going to be defeated. I think it will be even more difficult for the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses you have deployed in Zhenwu City."
"Even Zhou Wudao himself is not sure."
"To complete this idea, I think the Xuanwu River, twenty miles away from Zhenwucheng, is his method!"
Xiang Wentian immediately understood what Yan Nanchen meant and shook his head decisively: "You said that Zhou Wudao is planning to use water to attack Zhenwucheng?"
"It is extremely difficult and almost impossible to bring the water of the Xuanwu River, which is twenty miles away, to Zhenwu City!"
"Moreover, Zhou Wudao has not put any blockade on Zhenwucheng recently. To implement this plan, it is impossible to leave this loophole!"
Yan Nanchen smiled: "I'm just guessing like this. Whether it's true or not depends on you, old general."
Xiang Wentian thought for a while, looked at Xiao Han and said, "Xiao Han, your movement skills are superb. I am going to send you to the Xuanwu River to find out what's going on. What do you think?"
Xiao Han thought for a moment and then agreed.
"To the old general, Zhou Wudao sent an envoy, saying he wants to see you!"
Bai Shengqian suddenly came here and was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Han and Wang Biao were there.
Xiang Wentian nodded toward Yan Nanchen: "Let's go!"
Arriving at the main hall of Zhenwucheng, Xiang Wentian just asked Xiao Han, Bai Shengqian, and Bai Aoxue to meet Zhou Wudao's envoy.
"Old General Xiang, long time no see!"
Zhou Wudao's envoy had met Xiang Wentian many times, and he seemed very familiar with him when he spoke.
Xiang Wentian said calmly: "Mr. Gongsun, long time no see."
Gongsun Zhu got straight to the point and said: "People of the Ming Dynasty do not speak secret words. The commander-in-chief ordered me to come here. Please surrender to the old general and surrender to the light!"
"The old general fought for the Qin Kingdom for decades. His son and daughter-in-law both died in the battle. Now his granddaughter has also passed away!"
"However, the Great Qin Kingdom is nowhere to be seen. In order to seek justice from the old general, even I, an outsider, can't stand it!"
"So, I want to invite the old general to discuss important matters with the commander-in-chief!"
Xiang Wentian smiled contemptuously: "Jade can be broken, but its whiteness cannot be changed; bamboo can be burned, but its joints cannot be destroyed; although the body is dead, the name can be hung on bamboo and silk!"
"Zhou Wudao is a small man, and he is worthy of discussing important matters with me!"
"I have followed the king for decades, and the king treats me like a brother. How could I turn my back on him and surrender to the enemy?"
"Go back and tell Zhou Wudao that if the city is destroyed, there will only be death!"
When Xiao Han heard Xiang Wentian's heroic, loyal and courageous words, his blood boiled in his heart!
But at this time, there was a sudden noise in Zhenwucheng!
