”But what about Liu Yu? He will definitely continue to negotiate with the Urushion, if we rashly attack Qiu Liju, he will definitely target us furiously. ”I don't want to anger this old guy and let him impeach me at this time.”
Right now was the critical moment, and Yang Lin did not want to cause a fire to burn. Endure it for a while longer. As long as Hanling Emperor Liu Hong dies, the treasured sword that was hanging above his head will disappear without a trace. When that time came, he could fight as he pleased. He no longer had to look at the other party's face.
”Don't worry Lord General, even if Liu Yu wanted to negotiate, Qiu Liju would not agree.” Zhang Banxian shook her head and laughed sinisterly: ”I can guarantee that we will receive Northeast China's report in the next two days. Qiu Liju will definitely attack Gongsun Zan with all his strength. No matter how much Liu Yu wanted to negotiate, he would not let Qiu Liju attack the Tulang City. At that time, he will definitely request for us to rescue the Northeast China. ”
Yang Lin nodded, his heart that was still hanging in the air was finally relieved. As long as Qiu Liju made a move, all of the problems would be solved. Regardless of whether Liu Yu was willing or not, the war with the Urushion was inevitable. He couldn't just allow the Urushion to attack the Tulang City, otherwise the Emperor would definitely not let him off.
”Lord General, Liu Yu's soldier, Chen Wan, is asking for an audience.” Just as Yang Lin and Zhang Banxian were discussing in the hall, a personal guard suddenly walked out. Yang Lin couldn't help but be taken aback. He exchanged glances with Zhang Banxian and waved his hand at the janissary: ”Invite him in.”
Chen Wan walked in, her expression was slightly gloomy, she cupped her hands towards Yang Lin and Zhang Banxian and immediately said: ”Lord General, Military Advisor, Lord Grand Commandant has sent me to Xu Wu Shan to negotiate with Urushion, please send some soldiers to escort me to Xu Wu Shan. ”How about it?”
”Aren't you looking to die?” Yang Lin glared at Chen Wan and said snappily: Even if you want to die, you shouldn't have pulled our soldiers away! Qiu Liju's son has been killed, and this is precisely the time when he's on fire. Aren't you sending yourself over to be a sacrifice? ”
”Sigh …” Chen Wan let out a long sigh, and helplessly shook her head: ”Don't I know that going there is suicide? But as subjects, we are nothing more than the master's tools. Even if Master wants you to die, we can only send you to your death! ”
”If you want to die, I don't care. ”But my soldiers can't just follow you and die in vain!” Yang Lin waved his hands in anger and said fiercely: ”We are soldiers of the Darky Court, not servants of anyone. We can go and fight for our country and the citizens, but we will definitely not die for anyone!”
”Lord General, you sure are lucky to be a soldier!” Chen Wan bowed to Yang Lin, then turned and walked out the door: ”Since Lord General is not willing, then I can only bring my two servants with me. Who asked them to follow such a useless master?”
”Wait!” Zhang Banxian immediately took a step forward and blocked in front of Chen Wan. She turned her head and said to Yang Lin: ”Lord General, you should send a cavalry squadron to Master Chen Wan. I assure you, other than Master Chen Wan being slightly injured, the others are fine. ”

The hasty sound of a copper gong urgently rang in the sky above Boundless City, instantly breaking the tranquility of the dawn in Boundless City. One after another, it struck the hearts of everyone in Tulang City. The people who had woken up earlier raised their heads in fright, their eyes wide open as they looked in the direction of Xu Wushan, their gazes filled with fear and despair.
At that moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the northwest direction, getting closer and closer. Everyone felt as if their feet were gently trembling. Without guessing, people knew that this was the Urushion's Steel Cavalry. Everyone in Tulang City knew that at the north side of the mountain was Xu Wu Mountain. Over a hundred thousand Wuhuan Steel Cavalry were staring at them like hungry wolves.
”Reporting...” Lord Taishang, Wuhuan Steel Cavalry has rushed towards Tulang City and surrounded him so tight that not even a drop of water can trickle through. ” A city guard general galloped on his horse, passed through the tattered streets of the Tulang City, and rushed into Gongsun Zan's residence like a gust of wind.
Gongsun Zan, who had just woken up was actually very calm. As he donned his armor, he waved his hand to let the city guard general return to his post, and then swept his eyes across the people who were rushing over one after another. He said as if nothing had happened, ”Qiu Liju finally can't sit still anymore. ”He's coming for me. Let's go up to the top of the city and take a look.”
At this time, the Tulang City outside had completely awakened. Footsteps everywhere, the cries of children everywhere, and there seemed to be the screams of women in the middle. Batches of young men rushed out of their houses, armed with their own weapons, and ran up the city wall.
There weren't many defending troops in the Tulang City. Other than Gongsun Zan's three thousand White Horse Yiping, there was also a large team of Wasteland soldier. These young and strong warriors were all recruited by Gongsun Zan, and were usually at home. When they heard the alarm, they had to go to the city wall to participate in the defense.
Gongsun Zan came to the place where the Urushion was the first to be hit, and looked at the densely packed Wuhuan cavalry outside the city, he seemed to be rather excited and grinning from ear to ear, he involuntarily held the spear in his hand tightly, holding up his beautiful head, and let the spring morning breeze blow on his face.
The first rays of the morning sun dispersed the night, gently lifting the beige silk covering the land from the east and gently awakening the mountains. The spring breeze caressed Gongsun Zan's face, blowing away his bright black hair, causing him to feel extremely comfortable.
