Chapter 241: Shame of the Xia People
After leaving the tent, Jiang Chen came to the city wall of Juyu Pass.
Now, the joint forces of Qi and Ming have reached 110,000 people.
The joint forces of the two countries' offensive on Juyu Pass has become increasingly stronger.
Looking at the soldiers on the city wall who looked a little tired, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Du Mingyu, who was guarding the city wall, saw Jiang Chen coming and hurried over.
"My lord, why are you on the city wall?"
"It's not safe here, please go down quickly."
Du Mingyu, who was worried about Jiang Chen's safety, called a few soldiers to escort Jiang Chen down.
"It's okay. You can all stay here, so why can't I come up?"
As he spoke, Jiang Chen stopped Du Mingyu and signaled several soldiers to retreat.
Seeing this, Du Mingyu had no choice but to take out a set of armor and put it on Jiang Chen.
Seeing Jiang Chen put on his armor, Du Mingyu finally felt relieved.
Accompanied by Du Mingyu, Jiang Chen inspected the defense of Juyu Pass.
After a while, under the protection of Du Mingyu , Jiang Chen arrived at the section of the city where Xiong Kehui was on duty.
At this time, Xiong Kehui was chewing on the dry food in his hand, staring at the camp of the two countries' coalition forces.
When Jiang Chen came in front of him, he swallowed the dry food in his hand in one gulp.
Then, he bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen.
"General Xiong Kehui greets the Duke of Fuguo."
"Haha, General Xiong, please stand up quickly. I just came to see the soldiers."
Jiang Chen helped up this capable general of King Jin and said to him with a smile.
When Xiong Kehui heard that Jiang Chen was here to inspect defense, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
For Jiang Chen, who is a prince, this is not something he can do.
You know, during these days, even the King of Jin, who once led the troops, has not come to the top of the city.
However, Jiang Chen, the Duke of Fuguo, whose status was no lower than that of Prince Jin, was able to come here on his own initiative.
Thinking of this, Xiong Kehui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
King Jin...
I am old after all...
Accompanied by Xiong Kehui and Du Mingyu, Jiang Chen completed his inspection of the defense of Juyu Pass.
We also learned that Xiong Kehui has been living on the top of the city since the allied forces of the two countries arrived at the gates of the city.
This general under the command of King Jin has always been at the forefront, leading the way.
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"This Xiong Kehui is truly worthy of being called the 'Goal God'!"
"Du Mingyu, go call Han Zhong over. I have something important that needs the two of you to do."
After saying that, Jiang Chen walked down from the city wall.
After a while, Du Mingyu pulled Han Zhong to Jiang Chen.
"General Han Zhong pays respect to the lord!"
As soon as Han Zhongyi arrived in front of Jiang Chen, he knelt down at his feet.
"Get up, I want to ask you a truthful question, how long can you hold Juyu Pass?"
After Jiang Chen helped Han Zhong up, he asked the two of them bluntly.
After hearing Jiang Chen's question, the two of them suddenly became like confused monks.
Seeing that the two hadn't figured it out yet, Jiang Chen had no choice but to tell them some details he had observed on the top of the city.
It turned out that Jiang Chen discovered it through patrolling the city walls.
Whether it was the soldiers under the King of Jin or the 30,000 new troops under his own command.
After these days of uninterrupted offensive by the 110,000-strong coalition forces.
All the soldiers were already exhausted and their morale was very low!
This is not good news for Ju Yuguan.
Because this means that the entire Juyu Pass’s defensive strength is already in jeopardy.
Even with the defensive Xiong Kehui, the Xia army, which was already at the end of its strength, was not strong enough to hold this important pass.
After hearing Jiang Chen's analysis, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu finally reacted.
They are not mediocre people, so they naturally discovered these problems a long time ago.
However, they all felt that the walls of Yuguan City were high and strong.
Plus, with a brave general like Xiong Kehui present, Juyu Pass can't be breached at all!
Now, with Jiang Chen’s reminder.
The two of them realized how unreliable their previous thoughts were.
After thinking deeply in his heart, Han Zhong took the lead and stepped forward and said.
"My Lord, just tell me what we should do!"
After hearing what Han Zhong said, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said to the two of them.
"If we retreat in order to advance, we can resolve the crisis in the north."
…
The next day, Prince Jin, who was recuperating in his tent, received a visit from Jiang Chen.
Led by Prince Jin's personal guards, Jiang Chen slowly walked into Prince Jin's tent.
" General Jiang Chen of Zhennan greets His Majesty."
According to the laws of the Xia Kingdom, a duke did not need to perform formalities when meeting the king.
But Jiang Chen still bowed to the prince who had defended Xia against Qi and Ming for more than ten years.
Looking at Jiang Chen who came in, King Jin, who was lying on the sickbed, said with a smile.
"Thank you for being so polite, please get up quickly."
"Someone, give the Duke a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a while, Prince Jin's personal guards brought a stool and asked Jiang Chen to sit down.
After Jiang Chen sat down, King Jin asked him why he came.
"I wonder why Brother Jiang came to see me?"
Facing King Jin's question, Jiang Chen explained the current situation in Yuguan with a serious face.
After listening to Jiang Chen's story, King Jin couldn't help but become serious.
"So, Brother Jiang, what you mean is that I should give up Ju Yuguan?!"
"That's right, Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Now, the morale of our army has been extremely low."
"If we continue to defend, the only result will be the fall of the city and the loss of a large number of troops."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he stopped talking and just stared at King Jin quietly.
At this time, Prince Jin, enduring the severe pain in his waist, sat up from the bed.
"I have been stationed in the northern border for fifteen years, and I have never let Qi and Ming set foot into Juyu Pass!"
"Now you want to use a few words to make me personally release them into Xia Country!"
"Jiang Chen, what are you thinking?"
Prince Jin loudly scolded Jiang Chen, his face becoming ferocious.
Facing the King of Jin's rage, Jiang Chen continued.
"Your Majesty, you are no longer the high-spirited you of the past!"
"And Qi and Ming are now even more powerful than they were back then."
"If we want to completely defeat the coalition forces of the two countries, we have to retreat in order to advance!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen stood up, left a few words, and walked out of the tent.
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting and not ruin your reputation."
After Jiang Chen left, King Jin was so angry that he started cursing.
"What a shame to us Xia people, you ignorant Jiang Chen!"
"Do you really think that I am old? As long as I am here, Juyu Pass cannot be breached!"
After venting his anger, King Jin directly called Xiong Kehui and He Yunfeng.
After the two generals walked into the tent, King Jin spoke directly to them.
" Listen to me, I don't care what you do!"
"Boost the morale of this king. Juyu Pass must be defended!"
