Text Text _ Chapter 2603 From the north of the city to the south of the city
Not long after, in front of the city's north gate, which had always been wide open, a man and a horse were slowly galloping towards the location of Ben Tan's army.
The man dressed in white, who looked extremely thin in the eyes of the barbarian cultivators, was none other than Chen Shen.
However, the mount he was riding at this time was not the newly acquired flying jade lion beast, but a random one taken from the tribe's war horses for transportation.
At this time, the Bentan army who were paying close attention to the city's movements not only started talking: "Huh? Who is this scrawny boy? Why did he run out of the city alone?"
"I don't know. Let's take a look first and then tell you."
General Bentan, who stood at the head of the army, and Bentan Hua Zhong, the last knight-level barbarian in the Bentan tribe, slowly narrowed his eyes.
He originally wanted to order the troops to be more vigilant.
But then I thought about it, the "skinny monkey" who came out of the city here was just a man and a rider, and he was very young. How strong could he be in the realm of barbarian cultivation?
In fact, even if he is really bronze, or even exists in the silver knight realm, Ben Tan Hua Chong will not take it seriously: the half a million army behind him is not a decoration...
"Well, let's forget it."
"This guy is most likely a messenger sent by Chi Hai Yilong to convey a message, right?"
"If I order the entire army to sacrifice their soul rings one after another because of him, and act as if they are facing a formidable enemy, not only will my prestige be reduced, but it may also have a negative impact on the negotiations between the two parties."
With this thought in mind, Bentan Huachong straightened his body and waited without saying a word.
Not long after, Chen Shen came forward on his horse. He reined in the horse and slowed down. At the same time, he removed an extremely beautifully carved jade pendant from his arms and held it up high: "Who is General Bentan Huazhong?"
"Young Master Bentan's token is here. I have something to tell you. My young master has specially asked me to deliver it."
Ben Tan Hua Chong is the commander of the army outside the city and has the peak cultivation level of the Black Iron Knight.
These messages were all heard by Chen Shen from the whispers of Bentan elites during the civil war in the city.
As for the exquisite jade pendant in his hand, he found it from Bentan Zhenzhen's body.
It's just that Bentan Zhenzhen, Bentan Qianzhi, and Bentan Juwei didn't have tokens in their Qiankun bags, so Chen Shen could only use this jade pendant to try it out.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
At this time, Ben Tan Hua Zhong drove his horse forward a few steps, held his head high and said, "I am Ben Tan Hua Chong. What are your orders, young master?"
As soon as he said this, he did not forget to reach out his hand and ask for the jade pendant.
Although it was more than ten steps away, at first glance, this jade pendant indeed looked like something that Young Master Ben Tan was wearing.
But to be on the safe side, Ben Tan Huachong decided to verify it at close range.
Chen Shen had long expected that the other party would make such a move, so he drove his horse forward and handed the jade pendant that had already been washed away with blood to the other party's hand with a normal expression. He said with a kind smile: "My young master and The conversation with your young master was extremely harmonious."
"Now, my young master has decided to hand over all the military defense matters south of the Ya clan city to your tribe."
"I also ask the general to personally lead the army and follow me around the south of the city and station temporarily outside the city gate to wait for further instructions."
After hearing what Chen Shen said, Bentan Huazhong was secretly happy when he learned that the negotiations were going well, but he also couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Going to the south of the city?"
He glanced at the north gate of the city, which was now wide open, and thought to himself: "Why don't we just let our army stay in the north of the city and march around the city, going back and forth like this?"
"There must be some conspiracy..."
Chen Shen seemed to have seen through what the other party was thinking, and said with a chuckle: "Haha, my young master said that any powerful clan coming here from Zhongzhou will pass through the important area in the north of the city."
"In order to let people know who is the supreme ruler of Ya's city and the southeastern regions, the defense work in the north of the city must be controlled by my Chihai clan."
"In addition...this time the Bentan clan's 500,000-strong army came to the city. In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic to the newly surrendered Ya clan, we had no choice but to humiliate the general and walk around the outside of the city to the south of the city."
"The young master of your tribe has agreed to this, so he gave me this jade pendant as proof."
"Of course, if the general really can't trust me, you can pretend that I have never appeared and continue to stand still. I will go back and give my orders truthfully."
Seeing the neither humble nor arrogant smile of the young man in white in front of him, and listening to his unhurried words, Ben Tan Hua Zhong thought to himself: "Well... if I really disobey the order and let this guy go back to resume his life, who knows what he will do Don’t you want to add more fuel and jealousy?”
"Besides, the young master handed over all the jade pendants that he never left his body to this person. There was no movement in the city before. I think the young master must have handed it over voluntarily."
"As for this kid saying that the reason for not letting our troops leave the city is to avoid causing unnecessary panic among the newly surrendered Ya clan, that's pure nonsense."
"Hmph, Chi Hai Yilong is really afraid that when our army passes through the city, the strong lineup of soldiers and horses will make the new members of the Ya clan who have surrendered to him have other thoughts, right?"
"Anyway, he is the only one here. I will lead an army of 500,000 people to circle the city. If there is a change in the city, I can rush to support in time..."
After thinking about this, Ben Tan Hua Chong nodded heavily: "Okay, I will act as ordered."
Chen Shen smiled slightly: "Haha, then I will lead the way for the general: please?"
"please."
Five hundred thousand troops rose up from the stronghold, and led by Chen Shen, they circled the west of the city and headed to the south of the city.
What made Ben Tanhua Chong's doubts disappear was that along the way, Chen Shen was taking them closer and closer to the city wall, rather than farther and farther away.
Moreover, when passing through the west of the city, the heavy city gate was also wide open, and not even a single defender could be seen on the city top...
"Hahaha, it seems that Chi Hai Yilong is indeed sincere in forming an alliance, but I, the general, am judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart."
"But having said that, there is nothing wrong with being more cautious. Careful sailing will last forever!"
Feeling relaxed, the "black-faced general" who had a solemn face couldn't help but start chatting with Chen Shen.
When he learned from the other party, Chihai Yilong had already decided that he would form alliances with three parties at most, and work with the Chihai clan to divide the city of Yashi into four, with each town in the east, south, west, and north. At this time, I couldn't help but rejoice: "Huh! It seems that what Bentan Qianzhi said is true. This kind of good thing should be done sooner rather than later!"
Chen Shen also told him that the decision of the Bentan clan to guard the south of the city was achieved through the hard work of Bentan Zhenzhen and Bentan Qianzhi.
Because everyone knows that the truly powerful tribes are all in Zhongzhou.
When Zhongzhou arrives here, it is the north of the city that is facing its sharp edge.
The east of the city, followed by the west of the city.
The safest place and guarding the escape route is south of the city!
While Chen Shen was speaking, he did not forget to praise Young Master Bentan for his young talent and extraordinary wit, for finding the easiest and most important place for the soldiers of the Bentan clan.
When Ben Tan, Hua Chong and others heard this, they couldn't help but smile with joy. Unknowingly, they were deceived from the north of the city to the south of the city.
