Chapter 228 Attack
"what do you want to say in the end?"

Gu Jingyao was extremely impatient and resisted the urge to throw him out.

"Actually, I just don't understand why Zheng Chengzhuo is not allowed to attack. When Gu Jingcheng returns to the capital, it will be even more difficult for Zheng Chengzhuo to attack the capital!" Seeing this, Han Xiujin immediately expressed his confusion.

"Gu Jingcheng will not retreat easily. There is something strange about this matter. If the capital is attacked, something may happen."

Gu Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Oh" Han Xiujin replied, everything was just his guess. However, it would be difficult to take down Xianbei after losing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Besides, they have been exposed this time. I will try my best to suppress Mo Hanguo
After following Gu Jingyao for so many years, for the first time, he doubted whether his judgment was correct.

Leaving the study room, Han Xiujin's face looked tired. He still wanted to end the war as soon as possible and go back to marry Xuan'er!
On the other side, Zheng Chengzhuo led [-] elite troops to wading through mountains and rivers to lurk outside the capital city. According to reports from spies, the capital city was empty of troops, and the soldiers underneath were all eager to move, but they couldn't wait for the order to attack.

Inside the camp, the deputy general looked at Zheng Chengzhuo who also had a serious expression with a sad face, and said, "General Zheng, what does the lord say?"

"Wish to stand by."

Zheng Chengzhuo didn't shy away, and spoke directly. Although he didn't understand Gu Jingyao's intentions, his career as a lieutenant general for so many years made him understand that military orders cannot be violated.

"General! If we don't attack now, when will we wait! We traveled thousands of miles from Mozhou to come here. Could it be that we are here to guard the capital city? We are not afraid of death, we are afraid of being subdued!"

The lieutenant general's tanned face was full of resentment, he didn't care about other things, and asked Zheng Chengzhuo loudly.

"The lord has an order, and I am willing to stand by! Who dares to act without authorization!" Zheng Chengzhuo also raised his voice, annoyed.

Raising soldiers for thousands of days and using them for a period of time, he trains his troops every day and suffers so much that he can one day kill the enemy on the battlefield and defend his family and country. He wants to attack more than anyone else, but he cannot disobey the king's order.

"General, the battlefield is changing rapidly. The king is thousands of miles away, and the general is away. The king's fate is not acceptable! Now is a good time!" The deputy general still insisted.

"We will discuss it later." Zheng Chengzhuo waved his hands, unwilling to argue with him any more.

"Ah!" The lieutenant general sighed heavily, turned around and left with a sad face, his hostility turned into unwillingness.

Zheng Chengzhuo didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only wait for the order.

At night, the guards in the city became more relaxed, and the soldiers were all groggy and lacking energy. Zheng Chengzhuo frowned when he heard the report from the spies ahead, and the lieutenant was even more unwilling, "General, this night is the right time and place for the people." And, why is the lord of the country not giving orders for so long!"

Zheng Chengzhuo didn't answer, he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Report-"

The voice of the soldier came from outside the camp, "Report to the general, Lord Monchi, please see me!"

"Please come in quickly!" Zheng Chengzhuo looked happy, presumably Meng Qiding had brought Gu Jingyao's military order, and the lieutenant also looked at Zheng Chengzhuo with a smile, great, finally he can flex his muscles.

Soon, the soldiers led Monkey into the tent, and the candles in the tent trembled as the entrained wind and sand blew.

"General Zheng!" Monkey bowed his hands.

"Master Mengqi, you don't need to be too polite, but this time you brought a secret order from the lord?" Zheng Chengzhuo looked at him, his eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't wait.

Seeing this, Meng Qi nodded, then took out the envelope in his arms and handed it over, saying in a muffled voice, "It's just that this military order may not be as good as General Zheng wants."

As soon as this remark came out, all the people present were silent, staring at the letter for a moment.

After reading each word for a long time, Zheng Chengzhuo put down the letter and sighed slightly, "Please trouble Mr. Mengqi."

Meng Qi bowed his head and said nothing, turned around and left, blending into the night.

"General, what's up!" The deputy general stepped forward and asked immediately.

"Still willing to stand by, the lord led the army to repel the emperor's army, and the army is returning to the Li Dynasty!" Zheng Chengzhuo squinted his eyes.

"The dog emperor is back? It happened to be taken together. They were defeated, and they would not be afraid even if they escaped. What are you afraid of!" The deputy general became more and more excited when he thought about it.

"Military orders are like mountains, don't act without authorization, everything is on standby, you know?" Zheng Chengzhuo frowned, watching his excited subordinates worriedly exhorted.

"General, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!" The deputy general stood upright, looking at Zheng Chengzhuo with radiant eyes.

"Okay, let's go back and rest!" Zheng Chengzhuo waved his hand, they have been sealed here for three days, presumably Gu Jingcheng's army is coming back soon, I don't know what the king's plan is.

The lieutenant general walked out of the tent, and the curved first quarter moon hung quietly in the sky, illuminating the land, and the only thing around was the sizzle of burning torches.

"Deputy General!" The soldiers under him immediately stepped forward to greet him, "When will we be able to attack, brothers are already itchy!"

The lieutenant grinned, looked at his subordinates and nodded with satisfaction, "Let the brothers get ready, and act secretly tomorrow!"

"Yes!" The man stood up straight and said excitedly.

The next day, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the spies did not find out that Gu Jingcheng had returned to the capital, and the guards in the city were still lax and vulnerable.

Looking forward to the night.

The lieutenant left the camp with a pair of elite soldiers. According to the news he inquired, this team of well-trained elite troops is enough to pry open the gate of the capital city. At that time, the general will know who is right and who is right. Incorrect.

A group of people came to the city gate in the dark, and the soldiers guarding the city stood staggeringly outside the city gate. The soldiers on the city wall were even more numb, showing no vigilance at all.

After secretly finishing off the soldiers defending the city, the lieutenant immediately shouted loudly, "Come on! Kill!"

"kill!"

"Come on!"

The scene was suddenly chaotic, the torches were lit, almost illuminating half of the sky, the lieutenant charged bravely, with his own body, and quickly killed the soldiers defending the city, even before he had time to report, he lost his breath.

Everyone was greatly encouraged, and their morale was even higher, "Open the city gate!"

The lieutenant yelled, and then a soldier slammed into the city gate with a long log, and opened the city gate with almost no effort, "Brothers, rush for me!"

Seeing this, the deputy general drew out the long knife at his waist and rushed in first, with a bloodthirsty excitement on his expression. If he wins this battle, he will be able to replace Zheng Chengzhuo and become a real general in the future!
The city gate was full of flames, and the sound of slaughter was endless. The spies who had been watching the movement of the city gate naturally discovered the abnormality, and immediately went back to report.

Zheng Chengzhuo just took a rest, sitting in the tent with his coat on and listening to the spies' report, he was refreshed.
