Chapter 329: Chu Qingluan

Chu army main camp.

A Chu army scout rushed in.

He knelt on one knee and said loudly.

"Report!"

"Reporting to the Second Princess, the Da Qian city gate is wide open, no soldiers can be seen on the wall, and everything reveals a sense of weirdness!"

"Our army is hesitant and dares not enter!"

This news was like a sonic boom, resounding through the tent.

Chu Qingluan was in disbelief, her eyes widening!

"What?"

"The Da Qian city gate is wide open, and there are no soldiers on the wall?"

"Is this news true or false?"

Chu Qingluan asked.

Chu Tianfeng and the other generals were also full of shock.

What was Da Qian playing at again?

"Reporting to the Second Princess, this matter is true!"

"There is a person playing the zither on the walls of Changancheng, the music is melodious and lingering, and there are two beautiful women beside him, occasionally touching him, it seems to be that Da Qian Living Yama. There are also more than twenty commoners sweeping the floor at the city gate as if no one is around, and another large, golden-yellow dog!"

"General Chu Kuang dares not act rashly, fearing that entering the city would mean falling into a trap. I implore the Second Princess to decide quickly!"

Accompanied by the scout's voice.

Chu Qingluan's expression became even uglier.

This move was not in the military books at all!

"What kind of trick is Gao Yang playing again?"

Chu Qingluan could not sit still; she immediately walked quickly outside the camp.

She rode a warhorse, protected by guards, and rapidly approached Changancheng, soon arriving where Chu Kuang was.

She saw the Chu soldiers looking toward the direction of Changancheng, as if facing a great enemy.

"Second Princess!"

"This Changancheng is not right!"

Chu Kuang said with a solemn expression.

The closer Chu Qingluan got, the clearer she saw.

On the walls of Changancheng, there was a person in white, holding a feather fan, sitting behind an ancient zither, with two beautiful women beside him.

She didn't see Gao Yang hugging them, only heard a pleasant zither sound coming from the wall, and that lazy yellow dog.

Chu Qingluan clenched her fists.

She was also stunned.

"What the hell is Gao Yang playing at?"

"If our army were to rush into Changancheng, the entire Da Qian would be finished. How does he dare!"

Chu Qingluan's voice rang out.

Her eyes revealed deep confusion.

If this were in the past, she would have attacked without hesitation!

But thinking of Gao Yang's recent methods.

She also smelled a conspiracy!

Had he created a new, more terrifying weapon?

Chu Tianfeng and the others also said, "Second Princess, this is too wrong!"

"Da Qian won a great victory yesterday and has that terrifying weapon, yet today the city gate is wide open. The general feels that this Living Yama has another poisonous plan waiting for us."

Chu Tianfeng spoke slowly, his face solemn.

A Chu army general also followed, "The general feels the same. Perhaps there is that divine object that bombed our army last night waiting for us."

"Da Qian must be harboring evil intentions!"

"Yes, Da Qian is good at nothing else, but their dirty methods are numerous!"

For a time, before Chu Qingluan could speak, the Chu army generals spoke one after another.

A look of fear appeared in their eyes.

Conventional city defense, even fire attacks, quicklime, or even the divine object that exploded last night, they all had a certain psychological preparation for.

After all, they had experienced these.

But the weird scene of the Changancheng gate being wide open made them sweat a bit.

People are always more afraid of the unknown!

Especially with a Living Yama whose methods were one more ruthless than the next, this feeling was even stronger.

Chu Qingluan glanced at the fear on the soldiers' faces; if there was no ambush, that would be fine.

But if there really was an ambush!

This would be too dangerous.

She had also thought that this might be Gao Yang's ghost trick, that he was actually bluffing, but this thought was quickly denied by herself.

Last night Da Qian won a great victory, divine thunder descended on the Chu army camp, military morale was scattered, and the army was defeated. The further this battle went, the more unfavorable it was for the Chu army!

Da Qian had no need to do this; the risk and reward were clearly not proportional.

Even before last night, they had attacked Changancheng one after another, but with little effect. In other words, they were already finding it hard to take Changancheng.

The Living Yama would not be unaware of this.

The answer was ready to come out!

Chu Qingluan looked deeply at Changancheng, and at Gao Yang playing leisurely on the city wall.

She gritted her teeth and issued a military order: "Retreat!"

Even if Chu Qingluan was proud, she had to admit that not only Chu Tianfeng and the other generals, but even she herself had lost confidence after being beaten by Gao Yang.

How many trump cards did Changancheng have, and how many methods did that Living Yama have?

No one knew!

Chu Qingluan watched Changancheng, her eyes filled with unwillingness and many complex thoughts.

This blitzkrieg, having reached this point, forced her to consider the Chu army's way out.

Now, scraping some benefits from Da Qian to make up for the losses, and then relying on the previous looting to retreat in time, and then sweeping through Da Qian's cities in reverse, launching surprise attacks on several cities.

This was still a huge profit for Great Chu.

But if it dragged on, until Da Qian's reinforcements blocked the way back, and until the entire Da Qian was strictly guarded.

The benefits Great Chu could scrape would be even less...

She took a deep breath and threw out a heavy piece of news: "Chu Kuang, send an envoy to inform Da Qian that Great Chu is willing to negotiate with sincerity. If Da Qian is interested, then today at the hour of the Rooster, at the banks of the Jing River, both sides will bring six people each and slaughter a white horse to form an alliance!"

"Otherwise, fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death, until one side is destroyed!"

Of course, the latter words were just Chu Qingluan's threat. Even if Da Qian was truly unwilling, they would still retreat, loot in reverse, and scrape a wave of benefits.

But if Da Qian was willing, and gave a wave of benefits, that would be even better. In short, they had to scrape a big profit before returning to Great Chu to report.

As Chu Qingluan's words fell, all the generals looked at her in shock.

But what followed was a heavy sigh of relief.

Negotiation!

Negotiation is good!

But Wu Xiong and Xue Yi's expressions were extremely ugly, and they could not help but speak, "Second Princess, how can we negotiate?"

"What about us?"

Both were extremely excited.

Chu Qingluan sneered, "What about you?"

"You still have the nerve to ask. I haven't even asked you where the city defense methods of this Changancheng came from!" ===== CHAPTER 331 =====
