Chapter 401 Secretly Tackling Hengshan for Selfish Desires
Three days after leaving Tianmen Pass westward, the [-] Hengshan Army walked slowly on the dry wasteland, scouts spread around, and the scope of investigation expanded to fifty miles.Hou Mingfeng knew very well that his own troops were far fewer than Xi Jinlang's, if he couldn't detect the enemy's movements in advance, once the two armies fought in a hurry, the Hengshan army would suffer.

Just as the army stopped in a small deserted city, the scouts in front caught a Xijin werewolf who claimed to be here under the order of Prince Sade.

Hou Mingfeng was quite puzzled by this, looked at the crowd and asked: "Everyone, why did this so-called Prince Sade send someone to contact us? Is this true or false?"

Everyone was at a loss when they heard the words.At this time, Shi Shouyi stood up and said with hesitation: "General, when the general was still a team leader at the end of the year, he was transferred to Xiayang Pass to defend against the Xijinlang army's conquest. At that time, he met Prince Nasade once. At that time, my lord had a very happy conversation with Prince Sade, and finally the two sides reached an agreement, and the Xijin werewolves withdrew their troops. The general thought, perhaps this Prince Sade knew that he was fighting with our Hengshan army, so he sent an envoy to negotiate? "

Hou Mingfeng nodded knowingly, "So, it is possible that Prince Sade might indeed send an envoy to greet him. In that case, let's bring that envoy in. The general wants to hear what Prince Sade wants to say. .”

Soon, under the escort of the soldiers, a bound Xijin werewolf was brought into the big tent.Hou Mingfeng sat and looked at him, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you and why are you here?"

The man raised his head to look at the crowd, and finally looked straight at Hou Mingfeng, and asked in blunt Central Plains dialect: "Who is in charge here? I am here at the order of His Royal Highness, and I only wish to answer with the Supreme Commander of your army." .”

Hou Mingfeng snorted coldly, and squinted his eyes at him, "This general is the commander of the army, so it doesn't matter what your prince brings you."

The man looked carefully at Hou Mingfeng, saw that his eyes were powerful and imposing, and immediately bowed to him: "I am His Highness Sade's confidant bodyguard. I am here this time to discuss important matters with the general."

"Discussion?" Hou Mingfeng glanced at everyone, and said with a sneer, "Is there anything else you can discuss with our army? Is it possible that you are willing to withdraw from Xizhou and stop offending me in Shazhou?"

The guard smiled wryly, "The general was joking. Now the commander of the army is His Highness the Eldest Prince. My Highness is just a general who goes out with the army. He has no right to order the army to retreat."

"Huh?" Hou Mingfeng's eyes flashed, and he looked at the guard seriously, "You mean, Prince Sade didn't want to take the initiative to make peace, but he had no choice but to go out with the army because the eldest prince took the lead?"

"Exactly, my Highness did not agree to the Eastern Expedition from the very beginning." The guard nodded immediately, "It's just that the Right Prime Minister, the Eldest Prince and others tried their best to fight, which caused the misunderstanding between our two families. In fact, our country is not willing to fight with you." There are many enemies of your army, and my Highness is one of them."

Hou Mingfeng's eyes became more intense, "Then your lord sent you here, what does your lord want us to do?"

The guard's face was startled, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My Highness, let me come here and inform your army of our army's current movements, so that your army can get ready."

Sure enough.The smile on Hou Mingfeng's face grew stronger, the battle was decided.Everyone's faces were also shocked, this, this was too sudden, the Xijin werewolf actually had internal strife at this time?

Hou Mingfeng stopped everyone's movements with his eyes, kindly asked him to untie him, and then asked him about the movements of the West Golden Wolf army in detail.Then, someone took him down to settle down.

After he left, Shi Shouyi couldn't wait to stand up, "General, be careful of fraud. It's really unbelievable that Prince Sade sent someone to leak the military situation of his army out of nowhere."

Hou Mingfeng smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Don't worry, General Shi, I would have known the power of this. But as the saying goes, if you want to deceive people, at least nine out of ten sentences must be true." , to be convincing. Not all what the guard said is a lie, what we have to do now is to distinguish the truth from the false, and find out the information that is beneficial to us."

"Surely the general must have some calculations in his mind?" Shi Shouyi couldn't help asking eagerly when he saw his expression was calm.

"Haha, let's not hide the truth from General Shi Fayan." Hou Mingfeng said with a smile, "Yes, from the question just now, I have already got the answer I want. Now, the army of Xijin werewolves has bypassed Baiyan City and came to us. If we advance here, as expected, our army will be able to meet him in a day or two. Ladies and gentlemen, the eldest prince led an army of more than 20 troops, while we only had [-], which is more than double the difference. You have to be fully prepared to have a chance of winning.”

"General, Prince Sade brought the real information, what is the false information?" Luo Feng asked in confusion.

"This false information is that the so-called Prince Sade is a peaceful faction and has no intention of invading our Shazhou." Hou Mingfeng sneered, "What I am most worried about now is that when we confront the main force of the enemy force head-on, Nassa Prince De suddenly jumped up and caught us off guard."

"Could it be that he conspired with the eldest prince to plot against us?" Luo Feng was surprised and asked hastily.

"No, the battle for the throne will definitely not be a fake." Hou Mingfeng raised his hand and denied, "That Sade not only plotted against us, but also plotted against his elder brother. If I expected it to be correct, he wanted to borrow us To get rid of the Eldest Prince, that’s why we were informed of the enemy’s movements in advance, so that we can prepare countermeasures and hit the Eldest Prince severely in one fell swoop. This Prince Sade is not easy.”

"Well, what should we do then?" Shi Shouyi gritted his teeth when he heard the words, and said angrily, "We must not follow his way and take advantage of his will."

"Haha, there are gains and losses, since he kindly reminded us, we have to return the gift." Hou Mingfeng said with a cold smile, "Since this Prince Sade wants to use our hands to get rid of the eldest prince, then we Just help him."

"Ah, general, what does this mean?" Shi Shouyi asked with a puzzled expression.

"General Shi, think about it." Hou Mingfeng said patiently, "If the eldest prince dies in battle, the West Golden Wolf Khanate will be unstable internally, and the princes will naturally return to the country to fight for favor. In this way, what is the danger of our Shazhou?" Isn't it solved? And once the eldest prince dies, the hundreds of thousands of Western Golden Wolf troops will be in chaos without their commander. Prince Sade alone will be powerless to recover. We just need to take advantage of the situation and wipe out the enemy army in large numbers How can the Western Golden Wolf Khanate, whose vitality has been greatly injured, go east again in a short period of time? In short, killing the eldest prince is of great benefit to us and has no harm. In this battle, the strategy of beheading will be implemented, and the battle will be settled with one blow .”

"Could it be that the general is going to use that artifact?" Shi Shouyi asked excitedly.

Hou Mingfeng nodded solemnly, "This battle cannot be won quickly without this artifact."

On the same day, the army immediately deployed defenses and built fortifications around the small town, preparing to face the Xijin werewolves here.

With the continuous in-depth investigation of the scouts, they finally discovered the movement of the West Golden Wolf army.The next day, on the far wilderness, a black tide surged like a mountain and a sea.The yellow sand filled the space, and countless cavalry surrounded the Hengshan Army in black, isolating the front and back.

The Hengshan Army is arrayed around the small city, with ditches and earthen walls lined up.All kinds of horses are rejected, and traps are all around.The Hengshan Army had a well-organized formation and surrounded the entire small town. Each branch of the army performed its duties, and they lined up tensely and firmly.

Hou Mingfeng stood on the city wall, holding a telescope in his hand, observing the situation in the enemy's formation.After reading it, he said with emotion: "It's really spectacular. The Western Golden Wolf Army is indeed a powerful army that dominates the Western Regions. It's a pity."
