Chapter 206 Repelling Tigers And Devouring Wolves

The white-clothed man sat in front of the campfire and watched as the fish belly paled in the distance.

Beside his ears, cries of sorrow and tears could be heard from Big Yellow City.

Hearing this, the man lowered his eyebrows. Gubo's calm eyes were filled with sadness. He sighed deeply at that moment.

"General." At this moment, a soft cry came from the side of his ear.

The man sitting on the wooden chair turned around and saw Mu Liang, who was wearing armor, looking at him with a solemn expression.

The man was stunned. It was as if he had lost his soul. Twilight's deep eyes had an incomparably empty expression.

"Lin Shou is dead," he said in a daze.

His tone was as calm as ever, and it was difficult for outsiders to taste any of the ripples in a man's heart from these simple words.

But Mu Liang was clearly not an outsider.

He recognized the strange appearance of a man, but it wasn't a bit broken, because he knew that it was a price that had to be paid and had to be borne.

He had already made preparations long ago, and he believed that the man in front of him had also made such preparations.

"General, the generals in the camp are already waiting in the tent" he said in a calm voice.

"Yes." After a few breaths of silence, the man nodded. "Alright, let's go."

…

Within the tent.

Dozens of men dressed in armor and covered in injuries were standing there, but even so, most of them had expressions of excitement on their faces. At this moment, they were gathered together, saying something to each other, one sentence at a time.

"Is Lin Shou really dead?"

"Then you can still live? I saw Prince Mu shoot an arrow through that old fellow's chest with my own eyes."

"In that case, Big Yellow City is in our possession!"

"Not…"

A group of people were talking happily, but when the curtains of the tent were lifted from the outside, Mu Liang pushed Mu Ji into the tent with a cold expression.

The people who were still chatting happily immediately stopped talking, and very consciously lined up on both sides to make way for a path.

Mu Liang pushed Mu Ji to the front of the tent. Then, he turned the wooden chair around and made Mu Ji face the crowd, while he stood behind Mu Ji silently.

Mu Ji first scanned the crowd before using his usually calm voice to say, "Everyone, you've worked hard for the Battle of Big Yellow City."

"I've just confirmed that Lin Shou is dead."

Everyone looked at each other as they spoke, their faces overflowing with joy.

Although some people had said this before, Lin Shou's reputation was too great. Even though they had personally seen Lin Shou pierced through his chest with a sharp arrow, everyone still had some doubts about his death. However, after hearing such a definite answer from Mu Ji, those doubts immediately dissipated.

"Then General, should we send our troops quickly and take advantage of Lin Shouxin's death to capture Big Yellow City without a leader?" Someone immediately suggested.

"That's right! We've lost nearly 200,000 Xia troops in this battle. I think Cui Guozhu has already heard the news. In addition to killing the deserters, I'm afraid he's already dissatisfied with us. Let's capture Big Yellow City quickly. This will give Cui Guozhu an explanation. If it gets to the Great Xia Emperor, it will definitely be beneficial to the general in the future."

"Indeed. No matter what, Cui Ting is still the pillar of Great Xia. If we get into too much trouble with him, it won't be good in the end."

At that moment, the hearts of the crowd began to vibrate.

However, no one noticed that the expression on the white-clothed man's face became a little more solemn after hearing these words.

"Hmph! A Lord Guozhu on the left and a Great Xia Emperor on the right, have you all completely forgotten about the original intention of this rebellion?" Before Mu Ji could say anything, Mu Liang, who was behind him, let out a cold harrumph and said.

"Commander Mu, what are you saying? How dare we forget the Mu King's blood feud? However, this matter is still of great importance and requires the support of the Xia Kingdom. Our proposal is also for the sake of the general and the Mu Clan army!" An old man said solemnly at that time, but he was one of the three Great Evolution Realm experts of the Mu Clan, the commander of the Heavenly Hunt Camp, Hu Liu! His cultivation and seniority were extremely high. Other people did not dare to refute Mu Liang's words, but he, Hu Liu, was not afraid.

"I see revenge is false, for wealth is true? "You and I both know that once Lin Shou dies, the 250 thousand Azure Dragon Army under Xue Qinguan will return to battle with us in the blink of an eye. As long as we defeat the Azure Dragon Army, Great Zhou will have no more troops. At that time, Chang'an will be close by. The enmity of the Shepherd King can be avenged, so why bother with the Great Xia thieves?" Hu Liu could not show weakness, but Mu Liang was not an easy person, so he immediately retorted.

"Commander-in-Chief Mu's words are probably inappropriate, The Azure Dragon Tribe was indeed the only military force in Zhu Xian's hands. However, each vassal king Zhou Mu had their own private soldiers. Breaking through the Azure Dragon Army was akin to charging straight into the Azure Dragon Army. Commander Mu was a bit too naive. In the end, he still had to rely on the Great Xia Dynasty. "Another tall middle-aged man walked out from the crowd and shouted loudly under Mu Ji.

This person was called Sun Ming, and he was also one of the three Great Evolution Realm experts of the Mu Clan Army.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the white-clothed general on the platform.

"Alright!" Mu Ji said this at that time. His voice was as calm as ever, so calm that no one could hear the slightest emotional fluctuation. However, as his voice sounded, everyone on the stage immediately fell silent. "The most urgent thing is to deal with the Azure Dragon Army in Xue Qinguan's hands. Arrange for the various divisions to be prepared. After two hours, they will be ready to take over Big Yellow City."

When the crowd heard this, they naturally didn't dare to argue, and all of them accepted orders to retreat. Only Mu Liang was still standing behind Mu Ji.

"General" When everyone left, Mu Liang was about to say something.

But at that time, Mu Ji waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything.

Mu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he withdrew his words to the side of his mouth. Thinking about what he could see, how could Mu Ji not understand it, but even so, a trace of worry couldn't help but arise in his heart.

"Ah Liang" At this moment, Mu Ji's voice sounded again.

"If one day I die, can you care about the 200,000 Mu Clan Army?"

However, Mu Liang did not expect Mu Ji to ask such a question. He hesitated and thought that his argument with Hu Liu and Sun Ming in the tent had made Mu Ji unhappy. He lowered his eyebrows and explained, "General, I just feel that Hu Liu and Sun Ming have gone too far."

Before he could finish his sentence, the white-robed man in front of him shook his head again.

There was a flash of loneliness on the man's face, but it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, as long as I, Mu Ji, am alive, no matter what they are thinking, they can only think about it forever. That's all."

…

Lin Shou was dead.

He died in peace.

After tens of thousands of people bowed to him, the old general closed his eyes.

This news was spread to the long-awaited black-armored general south of Big Yellow City.

He crushed the cup in his hand, stood up, and said to the soldiers around him, "Lin Shou is dead. All the troops will follow me to Big Yellow City and annihilate Mu Ji!"

As a result, the 250 thousand Azure Dragon Army marched towards Big Yellow City.

The place where Xue Qinguan's troops were stationed was only ten kilometers away from Big Yellow City. If they wanted to rescue Big Yellow City, they would only need less than two hours to reach it.

However, Zhu Xian had already ordered that Lin Shou would not die and would not be allowed to enter the city.

The world was waiting for Lin Shou to die.

This was a great sadness and a great honor.

After all, there had never been a second person in history who could cause the flood dragons and tigers in the world to be so afraid of an old man whose cultivation was not great enough and who was over eighty years old.

Lin Shou was dead. As long as he, Xue Qinguan, could defend Big Yellow City, Zhu Xian would be able to accomplish his great cause in the future. Then, Xue Qinguan would be the one to receive the first credit. Moreover, Big Yellow City was heaven-defying. Even if Mu Ji used his troops like a god, with 250,000 Azure Dragon Army present, it would not be easy to take down Big Yellow City.

Xue Qinguan, who was over 50 years old, sat on the tall horse and thought about this. He was very happy.

However, when the army arrived outside Big Yellow City, this joy dissipated in the blink of an eye.

The city walls of Big Yellow City were filled with banners that read "Mu!"

"Stop!" This situation caused Xue Qinguan to frown and shout loudly. The hundreds of thousands of troops behind him stopped.

Lin Shou was dead.

However, according to the information sent back by the scouts, there were still tens of thousands of troops in Big Yellow City. Naturally, Xue Qinguan did not expect them to be able to defend Big Yellow City, but if they dragged on for an hour or two, it would not be a problem. Then why did Big Yellow City fall into the hands of the Mu Clan Army so quickly? Could it be that because Lin Shou died in battle, the defeated soldiers in Big Yellow City abandoned the city and surrendered to the enemy?

Xue Qinguan looked at the city wall. Although it was full of Mu Clan's military flags, there was not a single person on the city wall.

At that moment, he had a plan in mind.

Big Yellow City's deep walls were high. If he was Mu Ji, he would definitely rely on this good location to fight against them, consuming the strength of the Azure Dragon Army, rather than not placing a single soldier on top of the city, pretending to be mysterious. Moreover, if the remnants of Big Yellow City were to join the enemy, it was unknown if Mu Ji, who had killed Lin Shou, would dare to accept the old Lin Shou Clan. The array in front of him should be the remnants of the suspected soldiers that Tiance Prefecture had set up to delay his entry into the city.

Before coming here, Zhu Xian had already told him to get rid of a group of people from the Tian Ce Mansion if he found an opportunity. He originally wanted to find a reason to do this, but he didn't expect that the people from the Tian Ce Mansion would be so stupid. He just happened to be able to take care of them through their collaborating with the enemy and betraying them.

Thinking of this, Xue Qinguan did not hesitate at all. With a clang, he drew the long saber from his waist and pointed at Big Yellow City, who was very close to him, and shouted, "Siege the city!"

…

The mighty Mu Clan army arrived outside Big Yellow City.

Mu Liang frowned as he looked at the Xue Qin Flag that was flying over Big Yellow City instead of the Lin Flag.

"Xue Qinguan came so quickly?" His words clearly exceeded his expectations.

After all, the Azure Dragon Army was Zhu Xian's trump card. It was not inferior to the defeated soldiers of Big Yellow City. Even if the city gate was broken, it would still take a lot of effort for them to take down Big Yellow City with the Azure Dragon Army.

But at that time, Mu Ji raised his head to look at the city walls filled with banners, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Tiger driving and wolf devouring? What a trick." He murmured.

However, his voice was really too low, so much so that Mu Liang, who was beside him, did not hear it too clearly.

"General, what did you say?" Mu Liang asked at that time.

"Nothing." However, Mu Ji shook his head and said calmly, "I said, this is just a bluff. Tell him to go down and prepare to enter the city."
