Chapter 138: On the Eve of the Chu Campaign, Another Matter Arises!

The battle continued until evening.

The intense and fierce battle finally came to an end.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chu Army, under the combined siege of the Anwu Army, the defending Wei Army, and two Martial Saint-level powerhouses,

were ultimately all wiped out.

After the victory,

the crowd did not choose to rest.

They pressed on in one go, heading straight for Yushan Fortress.

The Chu defenders responsible for guarding Yushan Fortress, upon hearing that the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line had been completely wiped out,

and that General Murong Hao had been easily killed by the Champion Marquis of Great Wei,

were, for a moment,

thrown into complete chaos.

They did not even put up a symbolic defense, choosing instead to abandon the fortress and flee.

They were terrified that if they were a step too late, they would follow in the footsteps of the Chu Army on the front line.

In the end,

the Da Wei Legion recaptured the previously fallen Yushan Fortress without any effort.

"Victory! We have won!"

"Long live the Champion Marquis!"

"Long live the Champion Marquis!"

"Long live the Champion Marquis!"

All the Wei soldiers shouted "long live" to celebrate the victory they had achieved.

The defenders responsible for guarding Daizhou City had never imagined that they would be able to achieve this final victory.

One must know that this was an army of eight hundred thousand, consisting of six hundred thousand Chu troops plus two hundred thousand Xiongnu soldiers!

Yet, they only had a force of two hundred thousand on their side.

Such a stark disparity was bridged because of the arrival of Chu Feng and the Anwu Army, which tipped the scales of victory in their favor.

Of course, while everyone was celebrating the victory, they did not forget the judgment of the traitor.

"Bring him over!"

Several soldiers brought Liu Hao, who was tied up like a dumpling, before Chu Feng and Lu Tianzong.

"Spare my life, Champion Marquis, spare my life, Duke of Chen!"

As soon as Liu Hao was brought over, he began to kowtow repeatedly, begging for mercy.

He did not stop his movements even when his forehead was already bloodied.

"Liu Hao, you performed poorly in battle and defected to the enemy; what face do you have to beg for mercy here? Do you feel no shame toward those soldiers who died in battle?"

Lu Tianzong started off with a torrent of abuse.

He despised traitors who defected in the face of battle above all else.

It was because of Liu Hao's betrayal that Daizhou City had paid a very painful price.

If not for Chu Feng leading reinforcements in time,

Daizhou City would have already become a living hell by now.

Liu Hao was currently regretting his actions so deeply that his bowels were turning green.

He had never dreamed that the situation would undergo such a massive reversal.

The Wei Army, which should have been in a decline and on the verge of destruction, had suddenly surged with power.

Not only did they hold Daizhou City, but they also wiped out six hundred thousand Chu troops and, in the process, recaptured Yushan Fortress.

If he had not seen such a situation with his own eyes, he would have thought he was dreaming.

"Duke of Chen, this lowly one was momentarily confused, which led to this grave mistake. I hope the Duke of Chen and the Champion Marquis can give this lowly one a chance to atone for my crimes!"

"You want to live? Easy!"

Chu Feng walked up to Liu Hao and said with a smile, "I can give you that chance!"

"Many thanks, Champion Marquis!"

Liu Hao hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Chu Feng, "As long as the Champion Marquis spares this lowly one, I will not hesitate even if I have to climb a mountain of blades or descend into a sea of fire!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Very well, I will give you one hour to go and capture the Chu Army's Chongshan Fortress. If you succeed, I will pardon your death sentence!"

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Liu Hao was instantly dumbfounded.

Asking him to capture the heavily guarded Chongshan Fortress of the Chu Army, and giving him only one hour to do it.

This... this is just a joke!

Let me ask you, is this something a human can do?

"Mar... Marquis, this... this lowly one simply cannot do it!"

"What!"

Chu Feng was instantly furious, "If you can't even do such a small thing, what use are you? Guards, take him out and behead him!"

"Spare me! Spare me! Champion Marquis, spare my life!"

"Ah!!!"

The world instantly became quiet.

Moreover, after Liu Hao died, his Killing Points all entered Chu Feng's pocket.

"Hmm, the taste is not bad!"

Chu Feng said with satisfaction.

Those who flee in the face of battle, especially traitors, simply do not deserve to live.

"Pass down the order: the army will rest for three days. Three days later, we attack the Chongshan Fortress of Chu."

"Yes!"

Everyone was filled with pleasant surprise.

In this battle, they dealt a heavy blow to the arrogant spirit of the Chu Army and wiped out 600,000 of their troops.

Now, the entire army is in high spirits; it is the perfect time to launch an attack on Chu in one go.

After everyone had left.

Only Chu Feng, Lu Tianzong, and Lu Shuwan remained in the room.

"Xiao Feng, this time it's all thanks to you!"

Lu Tianzong patted Chu Feng on the shoulder, "If not for you, Daizhou City would likely have fallen, and even this old bag of bones of mine would have been lost."

"Grandfather, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Lu Shuwan pouted, her face full of displeasure, "If you keep talking nonsense, I... I won't talk to you anymore!"

"Alright, alright, alright, Grandfather won't say it anymore, okay?"

Lu Tianzong looked at his granddaughter with a face full of kindness, "Grandfather is still waiting to hold a great-grandchild, so I am not willing to go yet!"

"You... you are talking nonsense again, I... I won't talk to you!"

Lu Shuwan's face instantly turned flushed, and she hurriedly turned her head away.

"Alright, everyone has been tired for a day, get some rest early!"

Lu Tianzong was, after all, a man of experience.

He knew that staying here would affect the young people's performance.

He simply left directly.

"Grandfather, walk slowly!"

After seeing Lu Tianzong off.

Only Chu Feng and Lu Shuwan remained in the entire room.

The air instantly became quiet.

Lu Shuwan even twisted the corner of her clothes, not knowing what to do.

Although she had already had intimate contact with Chu Feng.

But at this very moment, she still felt somewhat shy.

"Why, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"

"Ah?"

Lu Shuwan gave a surprised sound and said subconsciously, "I... I'll go right now..."

"Ah!"

Before Lu Shuwan could finish her sentence, Chu Feng pulled Lu Shuwan into his arms in one motion.

"Since we are both resting anyway, why not stay and rest here with me tonight!"

"This..."

Lu Shuwan did not know how to respond, only shyly nodding her head.

The next moment.

Their lips touched, and both sides held each other tightly, neither willing to let go.

The two were intoxicated in their own world; everything outside was irrelevant to them at this moment.

In this world, they were the masters.

With the day's warfare ended, the night's battle also quietly raised its curtain at this moment.

Not long after, the next battle was about to unfold.

So they cherished this rare opportunity to be together.

The night was quiet.

They were busy here.

It was unknown how long it lasted.

It was not until the second half of the night that the two declared it over.

The exhausted Lu Shuwan had already fallen into a deep sleep early on.

Chu Feng quietly looked at Lu Shuwan's delicate face, and only after holding her tightly in his arms did he fall asleep with peace of mind.

Three days later.

Chu Feng assembled an army of 200,000, preparing to launch an attack on the Chongshan Fortress held by the Chu Army.

It is said that courtesy demands reciprocity.

Since they dared to come and attack Great Wei, then don't blame them for annexing Chu.

Anyway, at this moment, Chu still occupies quite a bit of Great Wei's territory; this time, it is just right to take it all back with interest.

Just as Chu Feng was about to announce this plan.

The appearance of a piece of news forced Chu Feng to stop the plan to attack Chongshan Fortress.

Because, Helante had arrived.
