Chapter 489 Mu Qingcheng’s reminder.

"Your Highness, the fifth level pass has been breached by Qin Shuai, the sixth level pass and the seventh level pass have also entered the city tower, and the aftermath is in progress."

"good!"

Ning Fan looked overjoyed and stood up immediately. He looked at Dian Wei beside him and said, "Evil, prepare yourself. We dare to set off. Now the Nine Heavens have defeated seven levels in a row."

"The eighth level and the ninth level are the hardest bones to crack. Let's go and join in the fun."

"promise!"

Dian Wei also showed a hint of excitement. In today's attack on the city, the Lord did not agree to let him go to the front line. Now he finally has a chance to show off his skills.

"Fengxiao, is there any news about the Eighth Pass and the Nineth Pass?"

"Never!"

Guo Jia shook his head and said softly: "Lord, my Black Ice Platform's power in Guanshan is very weak, I'm afraid it will be difficult to provide valuable information!"

"Um!"

Ning Fan thought for a moment and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. There will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. We must enter the seventh pass first."

With an order, Ning Fan and Mu Qingcheng's imperial army left the fourth level of the pass together. Her Majesty the Empress also spent the past two days quite leisurely. She spent the day traveling around the mountains and rivers, and at night she hid in her room and planned something unknown.

"The seventh barrier has also been broken?"

"good!"

"I didn't expect that the fighting power of the Guanshan princes would be so strong. The seven dangerous passes could not stop us from fighting for two days."

Hearing Mu Qingcheng's words, Ning Fan was speechless: "His Majesty, I hope the Guanshan natives can stop us for a few more days?"

"Ahem!" Mu Qingcheng also realized that something seemed inappropriate in what he said: "That's not what I meant!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Mu Qingcheng's rare expression of embarrassment, Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh loudly. Mu Qingcheng's expression returned to coldness, and he also exuded a temperament that made people feel distant.

After marching all the way, they finally arrived at the Seventh Level Pass an hour later. Ran Min had completely taken control of this pass, and many soldiers were cleaning the battlefield outside the city and collecting corpses.

"See Your Highness!"

Seeing Ning Fan's figure, a group of soldiers came forward to salute. Ning Fan looked around, nodded slightly, and ordered: "Collect the corpses of our army, make statistics, and when the war is over, bring them back to the country." , buried in the cemetery!”

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general has already given orders."

"Um!"

"Where's Ran Min?"

"The generals are now in the general's mansion."

"Take me there."

Ning Fan, Mu Qingcheng, Dian Wei and others entered the city all the way and arrived at the general's mansion. After receiving the news, Ran Min and other generals also came out to greet them.

"Greetings to the Lord, Your Majesty!"

"No gift!"

"Report!"

Just as Ning Fan was about to walk in, he saw a scout hurriedly running towards him and said softly: "Your Highness, General Huo will report his death. The Sixth Level Pass has been arranged and he has led his army to the Eighth Level Pass."

"So urgent?"

Ning Fan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers have been fighting for two days and nights in a row. With such rapid march and continuous fighting, coupled with the severe cold weather, will they be a little eager for quick success?"

Guo Jia on the side heard the words and said softly: "My lord, General Huo must have his own plan. If you are worried, just send someone to give him some advice."

"Um!"

"Let's go in and discuss it first!"

…

"My Lord, the Seventh Pass has been broken through the Nine Heavens. Now the Eighth Pass lies in front of our army. Although there is no danger of the First Pass, it can still be called a great pass."

"Now, the morale of our army is at its peak, and the champion has led his army to attack the city. As long as our army is united in one place and equipped with siege equipment, the Eightfold Pass will not be a threat!"

Guo Jia pointed to the simplified map hanging on the wall and analyzed the current situation for Ning Fan.

"However, since our army entered the customs, we have fought several battles in a row. Coupled with the severe cold weather, the soldiers are not accustomed to the acclimatization and have traveled long distances. They are already tired!"

"The various princes in the pass probably also know the news about our attack on the pass. If I am not mistaken, they will never sit back and watch us attack the pass."

"At present, the most important thing is to surrender the soldiers."

Talking about this, Guo Jia's face also showed a somewhat solemn look, and he said softly: "Our army has conquered seven passes in a row, and the number of surrendered soldiers gathered has exceeded 80,000. These surrendered soldiers should be properly placed. deal with."

"If all of them are included in our Dayu army, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny. If they defect on the battlefield, the gains will outweigh the losses!"

"yes!"

Ning Fan also nodded and said: "But we can't let him go. Now we are going deep alone and we can't leave any consequences."

Guo Jia was about to speak when he saw Mu Qingchen, who was sitting quietly next to him, suddenly said.

"Instruct all the generals to collect one third of the soldiers, disperse them, and organize them into the camp."

"The rest of the soldiers will be reorganized and distributed with food and military pay. Those who are willing to disarm and return to the fields will be given land and can farm on their own."

"Control the generals who surrender, lure them with benefits, promise them official positions, and control their families and relatives."

Ning Fan had a look of deep surprise on his face, and then looked at Guo Jia, who nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, this plan is feasible."

"Okay, Yong Zeng, send the scouts quickly to deliver the order."

"promise!"

Mu Qingcheng looked at Ning Fan's slightly surprised expression, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said lightly: "I got news yesterday that the princes from all walks of life seem to want to unite."

"Is this true?"

Ning Fan frowned slightly and glanced at Mu Qingcheng suspiciously. Her Majesty the Empress also has eyes and ears in Guanshan?

However, looking at Mu Qingcheng's cold and arrogant face, he believed it a little bit in his heart. She would not use this matter to deceive him. After all, it would not benefit her in any way.

"The nine princes of Guanshan fought each other, divided the land, and attacked each other. How could they unite now?"

"Hehe!" Mu Qingcheng looked at Ning Fan with contempt, as if he was a little surprised that he would ask such a stupid question, and said lightly: "How the princes in Guanshan fight is ultimately their own business. If you, an outsider, want to interfere now, you will naturally be resisted by them."

"That makes sense."

"If my guess is correct, the coalition forces of the princes are now on the way to Jiuchongguan."

"Although the population size in Guanshan is not as large as that of the Central Plains countries, , but it is not difficult for the nine princes to unite and raise an army of 300,000. "

"Don't underestimate the enemy!"

Hearing Mu Qingcheng's instructions, Ning Fan showed a playful smile: "Qingcheng, are you concerned about me?"

"Now you are fighting in my name. If you lose, it will damage the face of my Dali and my face."

"Your Highness Prince Yong, don't be sentimental."

Mu Qingcheng said this in a very calm tone without any ripples on her face, but in Ning Fan's eyes, she looked like a hard-mouthed but soft-hearted person, just like the character of Her Majesty the Empress, cold on the outside and warm on the inside.

Next, how to attack?
