Chapter 662: War in the North

"You continue to inspect the camp on my behalf to ensure that everything is in order. I will set off immediately for Cangzhou."

After thinking about it, he didn't hesitate too much and immediately turned to the deputy general and said.

Now the three states under Su Ye's command are all recuperating, and a warlike person like him is almost sick from idleness.

Now that there is finally a war to fight, he naturally has no objections.

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu and Jin Wushu, who were fighting in Wenzhou of the Dayong Dynasty, were fighting side by side against the fierce offensive of the enemy.

On the battlefield, Yuwen Chengdu held a gilded halberd with phoenix wings and rode a five-spotted dragon-shaped horse, like a god of war descended to earth, invincible. Jin Wushu beside him wielded a golden sparrow axe, leading the charge and looking extremely brave.

Just as they were retreating from the battlefield, a scout came galloping over and shouted, "Generals, there is an urgent military order!"

Yuwen Chengdu and Jin Wushu looked at each other, both feeling surprised.

They took the military order, unfolded it and looked at it, with solemn looks on their faces.

"Support the Xianbei? Do you want us to bring the Iron Pagoda?"

Jin Wushu frowned and looked at Yuwen Chengdu.

"Since the Lord has given the order, we must obey it."

"Besides, this may be an opportunity, a chance for us to show our prowess on the grassland."

Yuwen Chengdu pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

To be honest, Yuwen Chengdu actually didn't like being under Han Xin's command.

It’s not because there is anything wrong with Han Xin, on the contrary, there is really no problem with Han Xin at all!

This resulted in the fact that the God of War Yuwen Chengdu actually played a very limited role under the circumstances where Han Xin was in charge of all the strategies.

Yuwen Chengdu often acts as a mascot. He just needs to stand on the battlefield and do nothing else, as Han Xin will arrange everything.

Is this treatment good?

very good!
He doesn't have to do anything, and his achievements keep increasing. This is exactly the kind of commander most generals dream of!
But unfortunately, Yuwen Chengdu was not among these people.

Therefore, because Han Xin was too outstanding, Yuwen Chengdu felt that he was useless in Wenzhou. He had long wanted to find an opportunity to let Su Ye transfer him away.

Now is the perfect time, the opportunity has come to me before I even said anything.

"Well said! Then we will immediately resign from the commander-in-chief and head to Taiping Pass in Cangzhou!"

Jin Wushu nodded, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

In the tent of Wenzhou Jiuxiao Army.

"The Lord has ordered that the two of you must immediately head north to the grasslands outside Taiping Pass to support the Murong Xianbei."

Han Xin looked at the two fierce generals in front of him. Although he felt reluctant, he was not too worried.

"Commander, we obey your orders, but this battlefield..."

Yuwen Chengdu and Jin Wushu looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes. Yuwen Chengdu bowed.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the battlefield matters."

"When you go north, be careful. The cavalry fights on the grasslands will be more dangerous than the battlefield in the south."

Han Xin waved his hand to interrupt. To him, the Taoist troops of Yuwen Chengdu and Tiefutu were better and would be the icing on the cake. Many tactics would become simpler.

But if they leave it won't have much impact, at most you'll just have to worry more.

"Don't worry, Master. We will definitely fulfill our mission."

Jin Wushu smiled heartily.

That night, the two men quickly reorganized their troops and quietly evacuated Wenzhou with the heavy cavalry troops, the Iron Pagoda, which had intimidated many enemies in Wenzhou. They bypassed Longmen Pass and galloped along the border of Yunzhou towards Taiping Pass in the north of Cangzhou.

Many Iron Pagoda cavalrymen were dressed in heavy armor, holding spears, and riding on tall and mighty war horses. They were like a moving Great Wall of Steel, full of oppression.

At the same time, in the Xianbei camp outside Taiping Pass, the three Murong brothers were sitting together, discussing important matters of the tribe.

However, when Su Ye's messenger brought the news that one of them was needed to go to Cangzhou as a hostage, the faces of the three of them suddenly became gloomy. "What? One of us needs to go to Cangzhou as a hostage?"

"This is simply too much!"

Murong Chui slammed the table and stood up.

"Second brother, please be patient. Those people from Cangzhou are just trying to ensure that his interests are not harmed."

"If we want his support, we have to make some sacrifices."

Murong Jun was relatively calm. He frowned and spoke after thinking for a moment.

"But...Brother, isn't this too great a sacrifice?"

Murong Chui was still unwilling to give in.

"The situation is stronger than people, and we have no choice now."

"Only with the support of Cangzhou can we, the Murong Xianbei, gain a foothold in this grassland chaos."

Murong Jun sighed and spoke slowly.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, let me take the hostages to Cangzhou."

Murong Ke clenched his fists and exhaled slowly.

"Third brother, you..."

Murong Jun and Murong Chui were both shocked, and Murong Chui spoke quickly.

"Second brother, you and eldest brother are both pillars of Xianbei. I am young, so it is okay for me to go to Cangzhou to take a look."

"Besides, I also want to see what kind of people those southerners who have repeatedly frustrated us grassland boys are."

Murong Ke interrupted and said that the population of the Murong Xianbei was too small now, so they could not gather many troops. With Murong Chui around, he actually did not lead the troops very often.

Therefore, instead of following Murong Chui here to help, it would be better for me to go to Cangzhou to take a look.

"Okay, Third Brother, you must be careful."

"In Cangzhou, we must learn how to protect ourselves and how to deal with the Han people."

Murong Jun looked at his brother's determined eyes, feeling mixed emotions, but he could only nod slowly.

Murong Ke nodded, turned and left, packed his luggage, said goodbye to his two brothers, and rode alone to Taiping Pass.

After more than twenty days of galloping, Tie Shiwen, Yuwen Chengdu and Jin Wushu, along with Tie Futu, finally arrived at Taiping Pass in the north of Cangzhou, and met up with Jia Xu, Mu Qinglin, Bai Yifei and others who had been waiting there.

"Generals, you have come at the right time. The Xianbei tribe has agreed to our plan. Murong Ke, one of the three Murong brothers, will also come to Cangzhou as a hostage."

Jia Xu looked at this extremely powerful Iron Pagoda and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Then when do we set off?"

Yuwen Chengdu nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, please be patient. Let's wait for Murong Ke to arrive and then discuss the specific action plan together."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

In the following days, everyone waited for Murong Ke's arrival while making intensive preparations for the upcoming operation.

Carefully analyze the situation on the grassland, make detailed plans, and strive to be foolproof in every detail.

Finally, as everyone expected, Murong Ke arrived at Taiping Pass.

Looking at Yuwen Chengdu and his men who had been waiting for a long time, as well as the mighty heavy cavalry soldiers - Tiefutu, his heart sank.

With his command ability, even if we only look at the current military strength within Taiping Pass, it is enough to show that Cangzhou's hard power is probably beyond the expectations of the three brothers.

Fortunately, the two sides are still in the honeymoon period for now and are not enemies.

Otherwise, this group of heavy cavalry soldiers - Iron Pagoda alone would be enough to give the Murong Xianbei clan a hard time.
