Chapter 104 Support

Seeing Su Dingtian in such a state, Su Daqiang remained silent.

Su Daqiang was very clear that Jiang Chen's words were unlikely to be changed.

That being the case, their promises were now completely meaningless and worthless.

However, for the sake of the Su family and its future, they could only choose to deceive Su Dingtian.

"First, take your men and join us on the front lines. Although we've already delayed His Majesty's plans, it's not like we're disobeying orders. If we try to bargain a little more, perhaps there's still a chance. If we wait until everyone else arrives before taking action, then we really won't have any opportunity."

Hearing Su Daqiang's words, Su Dingtian struggled inwardly.

If they really sent out troops now, perhaps there might still be a turning point.

After several fierce ideological struggles, Su Dingtian had made a decision in his heart.

"Grandfather, you two take your men and go. I won't go. Tell His Majesty for me that the Jiang Zuo King's forces are more than what's exposed on the surface. If it's not handled properly, it could cause a backlash. After all, those who support the Jiang Zuo King are mostly aristocratic families."

"Everyone knows what kind of person His Majesty is. His Majesty will never let go of such an opportunity to get rid of me for the mistakes I made before. I also know why the two uncles have returned. Don't worry, I will never drag the Su family down."

After saying that, Su Dingtian rushed out without looking back.

Looking at Su Dingtian's back, Su Daqiang's heart was filled with worry.

Judging from the current situation, he probably wouldn't be able to bring the culprit back with him, which meant he hadn't achieved Jiang Chen's goal.

Once they returned, they would inevitably be punished.

Instead of going back to beg and scrape, they might as well take this opportunity to lead these men to the Xiongnu.

When that time came, with so many men, even the Xiongnu would give them a considerable position.

As for whether these men would be used as cannon fodder, that was completely beyond their calculations.

While they were struggling with these matters, Jiang Chen was sitting on a stool, looking at the various pieces of intelligence that had been sent over.

After learning that the Xiongnu had started new actions behind the pass, Jiang Chen realized that this place no longer seemed to be a place where they could hold out for long.

Don't let the Jiang Zuo King's high morale fool you; in fact, with the Jiang Zuo King's personality, he had probably already reached a consensus with the Xiongnu.

"Besides the people from Jiangnan, is there still no news from anyone else?"

After confirming some of the intelligence sent out from the city, Jiang Chen's mental state was highly tense.

According to the current situation, no one would be able to successfully resist the next Xiongnu attack.

Just as Jiang Chen was worried about the reinforcements that had not arrived for a long time, someone discovered billowing smoke coming from behind.

"Your Majesty, this is bad! The Su family seems to have rebelled."

Hearing such a report, Jiang Chen couldn't help but close his eyes in despair.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, they were now trapped like turtles in a jar.

Once upon a time, these guys weren't so bold and reckless, but now they were like madmen, no longer taking the rules they had once established seriously.

Just as Jiang Chen was preparing to lead the army to meet the enemy, Su Daqiang, who was at the very front, waved a white flag.

"Your Majesty, I've brought men to support you!"

As Su Daqiang spoke, he rushed to the front of the line. Seeing Su Daqiang's hurried appearance, the troops behind him quickly threw down their weapons.

Only after everyone had disarmed did Jiang Chen believe their intentions.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us. Su Dingtian knew that he had committed heinous crimes and escaped under the cover of night. Although we tried our best to catch up, we ultimately failed."

As Su Daqiang spoke, he couldn't help but lower his head.

And Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh after learning of this situation.

Now, Jiang Chen urgently needed an opportunity to boost morale, and Su Dingtian was the sacrifice Jiang Chen had chosen. But now, this guy seemed to have noticed something and chose to leave early, which undoubtedly caused Jiang Chen's plans to fall through. Fortunately, these key men came to support in time, so even if the Xiongnu had any movements, they would no longer be as passive as before.

"Let everyone go to the military camp to rest first. There may be a fierce battle ahead."

Now, with the various situations coming back from the city, Jiang Chen's face was filled with worry.

The state these Xiongnu were showing this time was too strange. Jiang Chen had a premonition that behind these people, there were probably several unimaginable strategists providing them with advice at the same time.

If Jiang Chen knew what Mei Pengfei had done, Jiang Chen would probably exterminate the Mei family.

Now that Jiang Chen and the others were in a temporary hesitation and didn't know how to go any further, the Jiang Zuo King had quietly opened the city gates for the Xiongnu.

Looking at the Zhennan King walking in triumphantly, the Jiang Zuo King's face was full of humiliation, but he still greeted him with a smile.

After all, how far he could go next depended on how much the Zhennan King was willing to give him.

"I really didn't expect it. I remember this city was quite prosperous, but now it's become like this."

Hearing the meaning in the Zhennan King's words, the Jiang Zuo King smiled bitterly.

"You can rest assured that we Xiongnu people are trustworthy. Since I promised you wealth and glory, I won't treat you badly next. However, how far this can go depends on your own performance."

Seeing this guy in front of him with such a smug look, the Jiang Zuo King couldn't wait to execute him on the spot.

If it weren't for some mistakes in his plan, he wouldn't have allowed this guy to be so arrogant.

"I heard that you have some ambushes outside the city. Why don't you let me see them so that we can prepare for our cooperation next?"

Realizing what this guy was talking about, the Jiang Zuo King glared at him fiercely, his face full of disbelief. He knew that the connections under his command were secrets that he had been trying his best to hide all along. Even the few people closest to him knew very little about them, but looking at the Zhennan King's reaction, it was as if he knew everything about these things.

"You really think I would cooperate with you for no reason? How naive."

Realizing that all his weaknesses seemed to be in the other party's hands, the current Jiang Zuo King collapsed to the side, his eyes blank, not knowing what he was thinking.
