669 This Is Called Karma

Xiao Hanzheng passed the message to them.

After reading it, the hot-tempered old general could not help but slam the table.

“This is outrageous. These b*stards of the previous dynasty are really not playthings. They actually want to open the gate of the border city to let the Ge Kingdom army in.”

The others were also furious. “These people deserve to die. They don’t care about the lives of the people of the northern border.”

!!
“Look, there’s also a general guarding a major city. They have people arranged by them. At that time, they will also secretly open the gate and let the Ge army in.”

“If the Ge Kingdom’s army can successfully enter these two cities, we will have won a hundred battles recently.”

Xiao Hanzheng was surprised to see the message, but he did not panic.

The general of that city was the one who had been seduced and drunk by Tao Liu in his previous life and was easily attacked by Ge Kingdom.

Because the other party had a criminal record, he had people keep an eye on him. If there was anything wrong, he would take him down immediately.

That person had indeed made the same mistake again, but this time, it was a beauty arranged by the princess of the previous dynasty.

Thinking about it this way, he suspected that Ge Chunru might have been in private contact with the North King’s concubine in her previous life. Therefore, while she claimed to help her scumbag father get rid of her opponent, she was actually helping her mother and the Ge Kingdom.

This city was the only city that Ge Kingdom had to pass through to reach the North City. If it was captured, Ge Kingdom could directly attack the North City.

The North City was the central prefecture of the northern border. If it was captured, the northern border would be in danger!

The other border town that the previous dynasty had colluded with the Ge Kingdom to open was the one where his scumbag father was recuperating.

It was a very important military border city at the border of Daliang. Not only did it contain the elites of Daliang, but it also housed almost all the rations and military supplies transported from the capital.

Ge Kingdom and the previous dynasty’s forces had calculated well. If they took down these two cities, and if Ye Lui Donghe had successfully taken down the city where the Third Prince was, the northern border would have fallen into Ge Kingdom’s hands.

By occupying the northern border, Ge Kingdom would be able to continue their attack on the north.

It would be best if they could take down Daliang, but if they couldn’t, they would be able to completely take over the northern border.

The northern border was vast and had many resources. Not only could Ge Kingdom occupy them, but they could also enslave the people of Daliang.

Not only was the plan perfect, but it was also beautiful.

What Xiao Hanzheng had thought of, the generals who knew the situation in the northern border had thought of it too.

All of them were even more furious. It was also because the people from the previous dynasty were not here, or else they would have been beaten to death by them.

“Lord Xiao, should we arrange for reinforcements? We can’t lose these two cities.”

The message stated that the forces of the previous dynasty and the Ge Kingdom had agreed on a specific time to open the city gates. It was five days later.

They had just received news that Ge Kingdom had confirmed that the new commander was the heir of the North King.

He also led the army directly toward the city where the Third Prince was located. It seemed that his target was the Third Prince.

They were still discussing how to intercept and defeat this army when they received such important news.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “Not only do we have to help them, but we also have to make sure that they never come back.”

He had felt that it was wrong for Ge Kingdom to send the heir of the North King as the commander and attack the city where the Third Prince was.

Now, it seemed like they were just trying to divert the enemy’s attention to the east and attack the west. Ge Kingdom was aiming for the other two cities.

Soon, a strategy was formed in his mind. He roughly explained it to the generals present.

After these people heard this, their eyes all revealed looks of admiration. Lord Xiao was indeed a general talent.

If they could succeed, they could almost end the war between the two countries.

The few of them cupped their fists. “Lord Xiao, we will listen to your orders.”

After a short discussion, Xiao Hanzheng brought Shi Qingluo back to his tent.

The eagle was still there. Xiao Hanzheng wrote a letter and put it in a bamboo tube, asking it to send it back to North City.

Shi Qingluo took out a bag of dried meat made from spiritual spring water and fed it to eat.

After it was full, it flew out of the tent and headed toward the North City.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “My little sister and little brother are able to take charge of their own affairs now.”

“It’s all thanks to them that we managed to capture Zhuo Zheng and the others and get such important information.”

Although he had his men keeping an eye on the two cities, a single mistake could cause them to lose the city.

Moreover, the counterattack plan that he suddenly thought of could not be implemented.

“Yeah, it’s all thanks to the power of the previous dynasty.” Shi Qingluo chuckled.

“Ge Kingdom asked for it. If they didn’t target my little sister and little brother, their scheme wouldn’t have been exposed.”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “That’s right. What goes around comes around.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. “If everything goes well, it won’t be long before we can return to North City.”

Xiao Hanzheng went out to decorate every day.

Three days later, ‘Xiao Hanzheng’ led the army to intercept the army led by the North King.

This ‘Xiao Hanzheng’ was a secret guard of the royal family that King Yi had left behind to disguise himself.

The real Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo went to two cities with their men.

They had to go to two cities in advance to set up an ambush and wait for the Ge Kingdom’s army to take the bait.

Shi Qingluo went to the city where Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father was stationed and secretly met his scumbag father.

She also gave the strategy plan written by Xiao Hanzheng to his father.

Although Xiao Yuanshi was in a wheelchair, he could mobilize the soldiers in the city at will because he was the vice governor.

After reading the letter, he felt extremely complicated. He really did not expect his son to be so talented in leading troops to war.

The more he felt like this, the more he regretted it.

“Zheng’er went to another city?” he asked Shi Qingluo.

Shi Qingluo nodded. “Yes, he won’t be at ease if he doesn’t go personally.”

Xiao Yuanshi was silent for a moment. “I hope that before you leave the border, you will do what you promised me.”

The more he regretted it, the more he hated Ge Chunru and the people related to her.

He didn’t want to let go of the North King’s concubine and her most important son.

Shi Qingluo could feel the scumbag father’s hatred. “My husband will definitely do what he promised. Don’t worry.”

Her little husband had already arranged for someone to go to the North King’s mansion. It shouldn’t be long before good news comes.

Not only for his scumbag father, but also to prevent future troubles.

Her little husband found out that the reason why Ge Kingdom wanted to capture her sister-in-law and brother-in-law as hostages was the idea of the North King’s concubine.

Such a sinister woman who liked to stir up trouble naturally could not be left alive.

Although Xiao Yuanshi did not like this daughter-in-law, he knew that she would not lie. “Alright, I will follow Zheng’er’s plan now.”

“Don’t show your face yet. Otherwise, it won’t be good if you’re exposed.”

He did not dare to delay such an important strategy.

Shi Qingluo nodded. “I understand.”

Hence, Xiao Yuanshi secretly set up a trap.

Shi Qingluo, on the other hand, had the Holy Arrow Battalion set up an ambush according to the map that Xiao Hanzheng had drawn.

Xiao Hanzheng took his men to the other city.

He secretly captured the general and told him that the woman beside him was a spy.

This general had always been loyal to Daliang and had never thought of betraying. He was frightened when he heard this.

To atone for his mistake, he pretended to be calm and dealt with his beloved concubine, and at the same time, he gave Xiao Hanzheng the generals he trusted in the city to arrange the ambush.

Two days later, it was time for Ge Kingdom and the former dynasty to meet. Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo both went to the corner of the city wall with their men.
