Simulated Immortal Cultivation: Beginning with Changchun's Immortality

Chapter 275
In Shanggu City, even though the Chetuo people had tried their best to cover up the brutality of the street fighting, there were only ruins and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air made the messenger sent by Yang Benzhong a little suspicious.

Obviously, the Chetuo army outside the city hadn't retreated yet, but there was no large-scale conflict between the two sides, as if they were stopped by someone.

It looked peaceful, yet eerie.

The courier wanted to ask something, but the confidant who led the way kept his face cold and didn't say a word. Seeing this, he shyly approached him for a chat.

Reluctantly, he could only temporarily pile up his doubts in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the other party ignored him, just worried that too much talk would lead to failure, and the general's plan would be ruined by then.

Just don't say a word, and lead the person to the general's mansion like a log, and it's over.

The two of them walked to the end of the road with their own ghosts.

There, the General's Mansion stood alone, in the center of the entire Shanggu City, looking solemn and solemn.

The messenger just stepped into the main hall, and the first thing he saw was Zheng Xin sitting at the head.

Obviously not wearing armor, but there is a chilling and murderous aura that has been battled for a long time.

"Head, someone brought it here."

The soldiers sang to Zheng Xin, then stepped aside, revealing Yang Benzhong's messenger behind him.

"Yang Benzhong's men?"

Zheng Xin raised his head from the pile of official documents on the case, glanced at the man standing in the hall, and asked in an unhurried tone.

"Yes."

This person didn't dare to be too arrogant in front of Zheng Xin, he did a military salute honestly, and then introduced himself.

"The last general, Zhong Zhun, is the assistant general under Marshal Yang. Following the military order, he rushed to help Shanggu. He marched day and night, and he never dared to neglect him!"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xin seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world when he heard the words.

"Didn't dare to neglect..."

"The military order is like a mountain. You are three days late from the agreed deadline. How dare you claim that you have not neglected?"

Zheng Xin slapped the table heavily with a slap.

The strength of Grandmaster Tianyi directly smashed this solid wood table into pieces.

"Let me ask you again, what should I do if I fail to comply with the law?"

Zheng Xin's sad voice came from the hall, and all the cronies around surrounded the messenger immediately when they heard the words, and they made a gesture to draw out the treasured sword at his waist to give him a good time.

"Lost, missed, according to the law should be cut..."

The messenger looked up at Zheng Xin in disbelief, his voice trembling a little.

"Give this general a reason not to kill you, you only have a chance to have a cup of tea."

The lieutenant general's saber had been pulled out from his waist, and it was resting on the messenger's neck, as if a disagreement would make him feel like an owl's head.

The messenger opened his mouth and was about to speak when he suddenly remembered what the deputy commander had told him before he left.

"When you get there, one is to observe if there are any changes in the city, and the other is to conceal the reason for the failure of the army for Yang Shuai."

"Because of one person, the three armies are dragged down. If this matter is really revealed, I am afraid that the soldiers in Shanggu City will be dissatisfied!"

The old general sighed, his expression undiminished when he spoke.

Yang Benzhong was the commander in chief, and he accepted all the gold, silver and jewelry bestowed by King Shiyu, but he didn't have half a copper coin to distribute to his soldiers.

The food he ate was specially prepared by the cook. Even he, the deputy commander, was eating dry food together, but Yang Benzhong didn't even want to act. It's only been five days since he left the army, and there are already complaints among the army.

At this time, if there is another disturbance in Shanggu City, it will be really difficult for Shiyu Kingdom this time.

"General, yes, it was the food officer who wasted his time drinking. The so-called food and grass go first before the soldiers and grass are moved. The daily consumption of tens of thousands of soldiers is not a small number, which almost caused a catastrophe."

"The commander-in-chief has already ordered the head of that guy to be sacrificed to the flag to comfort the spirits of the heroes in heaven. If the general doesn't believe it, he can just ask a soldier to go back and look at it."

What the messenger said was as sure as the truth, and he didn't even hesitate to swear on his own head.

"Nonsense! It's clearly—"

The lieutenant had almost believed in the stupidity of that bastard Yang Benzhong when he saw him dodging his eyes. Seeing that this man would not hesitate to swear and swear that he would cover it up for him, he would open his mouth to expose him even if he was like a raccoon.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xin interrupted him before he could speak.

"Food and grass, hmph, what a soldier and horse, go ahead without using food and grass, you have no plans to spare, but have you ever thought about where the soldiers under my command come from for food, drink and chewing?"

Grain officer?
Zheng Xin snorted coldly in his heart.

Who doesn't know that the grain and grass officer is a universal excuse. If the army's morale is unstable, you can use the grain and grass officer's head to calm people's hearts.

After all, most of the people who can serve as food and grass officials are the master's family slaves. Only these people will always be dedicated to the master, and the master will not need to worry about borrowing their heads for use.

"how do I say this?"

The messenger was stunned.

The grain and grass in Shanggu City should be enough to feed the defenders for more than half a year, not to mention that three thousand soldiers and horses were transferred not long ago. If the food is richer, it will not be enough for the soldiers in the city!

"The Chetuo people hold a secret road leading from the outside of the city to the inside of the city. Three days ago, a group of dead men entered the city in the dark, murdered and set fire to them, trying to join forces with the first ascending army outside and take down Shanggu City."

"If the general didn't lead us to resist desperately and block that passage, do you think I can still stand here well?"

"Three days, three full days, guess what we ate!"

The lieutenant didn't even bother to glance at this person.

"Forget it, telling you people is just playing the piano against the cows. I will settle this account with Yang Benzhong slowly. Now that you are all here, let's discuss how to get rid of the Chetuo people."

Zheng Xin waved his hand meanly, obviously he didn't want to dwell on this topic.

After all, the most urgent task is not to argue with Yang Benzhong about who is right and who is wrong, and driving the Chetuo people out of Linghuan County is the most urgent thing right now.

But seeing Zheng Xinyan return to the main message, the messenger was worried that he couldn't find a chance to ask, so he immediately expressed all his confusion on the road.

"General, why did the Chetuo people only besiege outside the city and never continue to enter the city?"

Such a deadly atmosphere inside and outside the city, just being in it already made the messenger feel uncomfortable, and always felt that something bad would happen next.

"If you say this, I'm not afraid to tell you that when King Chetuo led his army to attack the city last night, he was hit by a bullet. According to the captured soldiers, King Chetuo happened to be under the banner at that time. , I was seriously injured all of a sudden.”

"If it wasn't for this fellow being a great master with the perfect cultivation of God's will, this shot alone would have killed him!"
