Chapter 278 Good news? Crisis!
When Luo Yun thought of the tight net set up by the grassland cavalry at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but feel a little scared!
"Brother, this is what I should do. Now that you are back, I feel relieved!"
Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Yun and his group.
Although he was proficient in military tactics, he lacked practical experience.
If the enemy really attacks, Jiang Chen will still panic.
But now it’s different with Luo Yun!
Just as the brothers were laughing happily, General Lu ran back panting!
"Young... Young General, Marquis... Marquis..."
"General Lu, you shouldn't be so excited to see us back, right?"
Luo Shaohe couldn't help but tease General Lu when he saw him panting.
"Come on, have a drink of water first." Luo Yun also shook his head, then poured a glass of water and handed it to General Lu.
After drinking the water, General Lu finally felt better.
"My Lord, Major General, good news!"
"What great news!"
"The soldiers led by the general just sent us a message that the general has taken down Cangyuan City!"
"What!?"
When everyone in the room heard General Lu’s words, they were all dumbfounded!
"Take down Cangyuan City!? How is this possible!?" Luo Yun's eyes were filled with shock!
"Godfather, no... didn't you say that we were going to attract the enemy? How did you take down Cangyuan City?!" Luo Shaohe was also shocked.
Even Marquis Jian'an was extremely shocked!
"Godfather, this is an incredible achievement! This..."
"General Lu! When will the news be sent back? How many days have passed since the general and his men captured Cangyuan City?"
Unlike the others who were excited, Jiang Chen asked General Lu with anxious eyes!
……
"This...the news just came back."
"It should have been three days since the general captured Cangyuan City!"
General Lu explained the situation with a puzzled look on his face.
Why did he feel that Jiang Chen was not happy when he learned that the general had recaptured Cangyuan City?
Luo Yun and his companions also noticed something was wrong!
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Jiang, is there something wrong?"
Luo Yun and Luo Shaohe asked Jiang Chen.
"Everyone, I'm afraid the situation over there with General Luo is very bad!"
"We must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!"
Jiang Chen looked at everyone with a serious expression and said.
"What!?"
When everyone heard Jiang Chen's words, their faces changed instantly!
"Brother Jiang, you...are you kidding me!?"
"Yes, Brother Jiang, our foster father's occupation of Cangyuan City is a great achievement. How could the situation be bad?"
Facing everyone's doubts, Jiang Chen did not keep them in suspense.
He said bluntly: "Everyone, think about it, how much will the general lose if he takes Cangyuan City?"
"Now, the grassland people have returned to Cangyuan City and should have arrived at the city!"
"When they come back and find that Cangyuan City has been seized, what will be their reaction?!"
"this……!"
When everyone heard Jiang Chen’s explanation, they immediately understood the situation!
"No... I can't let anything happen to my foster father. Help me up. I... I want to fight!"
Marquis Jian'an's face was filled with anxiety as he struggled to stand up.
But Jiang Chen stopped him!
"My Lord, you should take good care of yourself. You can't help me now."
"This..." Marquis Jian'an's face was filled with guilt and self-blame.
“Old Nine, you…you must save your adoptive father!” Marquis Jian’an was so excited that he didn’t care that Li De and General Lu were still there, and directly revealed Jiang Chen’s identity!
"Lao Jiu?"
"Father!?"
General Lu and Li De were both dumbfounded!
……
When Jiang Chen saw that the situation was exposed, he no longer concealed it.
He said in a deep voice: "Yes, I am General Luo's ninth adopted son, but please don't tell anyone about this!"
"this……!?"
General Lu and Li De were stunned!
They finally understood why Jiang Chen was trusted by General Luo and Marquis Jian'an!
It turns out that Jiang Chen is actually one of General Luo’s adopted sons!
"I obey your command!"
General Lu and Li De saluted Jiang Chen respectfully.
Jiang Chen nodded, and after instructing Li De to take care of Marquis Jian'an, he brought Luo Yun, Luo Shaohe, and General Lu to the hall.
After arriving at the hall, the four of them gathered around the table in the middle of the hall.
At this time, there was a huge map on the table.
None of the four spoke, they all stared at the map.
"General Lu, you and Old Nine defend the city, I will take Old Seven to support my father!"
After looking at the map for a while, Luo Yun gritted his teeth and said.
But when Jiang Chen heard this, he shook his head: "No!"
"Old Nine, you...you want to stop me?" Luo Yun looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
"Brother, I know you are worried about our foster father, but if you and Brother Seven take the cavalry to Cangyuan City, do you think you have the ability to enter the city?"
"The grassland cavalry are now surrounding Cangyuan City. If you lead the troops to attack Cangyuan City, then you... won't be doomed!?"
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Luo Yun also came to his senses.
He looked at Jiang Chen anxiously and asked, "Old Nine, what should we do then? "
"I...I can't watch my father fight alone!"
……
"Old Nine, do you... do you have any ideas?"
Luo Shaohe looked at Jiang Chen's heavy face and asked hurriedly.
When Luo Shaohe spoke, Luo Yun and General Lu also hurriedly looked at Jiang Chen!
"Brother, Seventh Brother, General Lu, don't worry, I will definitely not watch my foster father fall into danger and do nothing!"
"But, brother, it is absolutely not okay for you two to attack rashly."
"Tell me first, how many soldiers and horses do you two have left."
Jiang Chen asked Luo Yun and the others in a deep voice.
"This...we only have more than 20,000 people left now." Luo Yun said in a deep voice.
Originally they went out with 30,000 cavalry.
But now, there are only 20,000 left.
Besides, if nothing had happened to them, General Luo would not be in the same danger as he is now!
"Twenty thousand cavalry?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly when he heard this.
After a moment, Jiang Chen said in a deep voice: "Brother, you and Brother Seven will take 20,000 cavalrymen and sufficient food and grass, and set off to Baishan City immediately!"
"Remember, don't go too fast. It's best to bring some siege equipment!"
"What!?"
Luo Yun and Luo Shaohe were both dumbfounded when they heard Jiang Chen's words!
Let them attack Baishan City! ?
Not to mention that they only have 20,000 people, even if there were 50,000, they couldn't do it!
After all, Baishan City is heavily guarded, not Cangyuan City!
"Haha, Big Brother, Seventh Brother, you misunderstood. The reason I asked you to do this is to attract the attention of the grassland people."
"As long as you pretend to attack Baishan City, the soldiers of Baishan City will not go to support Cangyuan City. In fact, Cangyuan City may even come back to support Baishan City. Doesn't this reduce the pressure on my foster father?"
