Chapter 1111 Hidden
The general of Tianfeng State glanced behind Bai Jinzhi and Shen Qingzhu, and then said, “The Great Zhou has a heavy army besieging the city. I think they will not withdraw their troops until they are satisfied. There is no need to worry about us playing any tricks! And our envoys are also at the foot of Pingdu City. With the support of our Tianfeng State Elephant Army, they feel more confident and it will be more fair to both sides. Don’t you think so, Lord Gao Yi?”
Bai Jinzhi pretended to think, and after a while, he said, “You…just wait here and don’t move! I won’t move here either! I’ll send someone back to ask my elder sister and Lord Liu, and this will take some time! If you move, I’ll take it as you’ve changed your mind!”
“Okay, but… I have to send someone to tell my king!” said the general of Tianfeng Kingdom.
“Okay! Go ahead!” Bai Jinzhi waved his hand magnanimously.
Soon, the soldiers of Tianfeng Kingdom climbed up to the city wall of Pingdu City and told Sar Khan the results of the discussion between their general and Gao Yijun of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Sar Khan, who was supporting himself on the city wall with both hands, chuckled, stood up, and stroked the jade cicada in his hand.
“Being able to negotiate… means that the original intention of the Great Zhou was to negotiate. However, with such a large-scale deployment, the necessary price must be high!” said the Great Witch’s disciple.
“Give Da Zhou whatever it wants! Except for our elephant army… we must establish good relations with Da Zhou! Anyway, the land given does not belong to our Tianfeng Kingdom!” After saying this, Sar Khan turned around and walked towards the city wall, no longer taking the surrounding city walls of Da Zhou seriously.
The Great Wizard’s disciple followed Sar Khan and said, “But if Dayan hears the news and dares to come and besiege the city to ask for benefits, will we give it to them or not…”
“If they want the land and cities of Xiliang, tell them… As long as they can take it by themselves, our Tianfeng Kingdom will not interfere. We only want to lease the fertile land suitable for farming from Da Zhou and Dayan!” Sar Khan said, “However, just in case, we should withdraw some of them from the north gate and go to the Fangya City on the north side of the Danshui River first! If Da Zhou really goes to war, Dayan will also come to interfere and it will be disadvantageous to us! Tell the soldiers to prepare and take a group of elephants to evacuate first!”
“Yes!” The Great Wizard’s disciple responded, and then said, “I feel uneasy, so why don’t you… Your Majesty leave first!”
Sar Khan shook his head, rubbing the jade cicada in his hand back and forth, “I’m not in a hurry. I have to stay in Pingdu City to let Da Zhou see the sincerity of our Tianfeng Kingdom. Let the elephant army carrying supplies go first!”
Sar Khan thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said, “Let’s go first… One third of them will cross the river to Fang City to prepare, and make little noise so that the Great Zhou will not know about it. This is just in case! By the way… Have the spies who are monitoring the movements of the Yan State come back to report any unusual movements of the Yan army?”
The great wizard’s disciple shook his head.
“Although the Yan army is not making any moves at the moment, I think Your Majesty should leave first!” The Great Witch’s disciple was worried, “I will stay!”
Sar Khan waved his hand and said, “Since the Yan army has not made any move, I bet that the Great Zhou dare not start a war. But we want benefits! If we want land… let Li Tianfu stamp it and give it to us! Anyway… there is not much fertile land in Xiliang. For our Tianfeng Kingdom, it is useless to give it to us. The most important thing is to get the fertile land of the Great Zhou and Yan Kingdom.”
When Li Tianfu heard the news of the surrounding city, he was very excited at first, but later he saw that the general of Tianfeng Kingdom had assembled an army of all-inclusive soldiers and was about to withdraw from the north gate of Pingdu City.
Li Tianfu anxiously went to look for Sar Khan, but Sar Khan did not see Li Tianfu. Instead, he was worried that this madman Li Tianfu would cause trouble, so he simply put him under house arrest.

Bai Qingyu and Xie Yuchang had just led their men to ambush at the southern entrance of Hanwen Mountain. Before they were ready, the sentry saw torches approaching from afar and immediately reported it. Bai Qingyu ordered the soldiers of the Great Zhou to put down their preparations and hide immediately.
Soon, spies from the Tianfeng Kingdom holding torches entered the Hanwen Mountain Valley from the southern entrance of Hanwen Mountain. Bai Qingyu and Xie Yuchang ordered their soldiers to stay put…
The spies from the Tianfeng Kingdom passed through the Hanwen Mountain Canyon and rushed back.
Bai Qingyu, who was experienced in combat, knew that these were spies coming to explore the way…which meant that the elephant army of the Feng Kingdom would be coming tomorrow!
However, it is clearly not yet time for Bai Jinzhi to attack the city. Could it be that the Tianfeng Kingdom is going to withdraw early?
If the Tianfeng Kingdom really withdraws its troops later, whether to fight or not becomes a big problem.
Bai Qingyu ordered to hold the troops for the time being and wait and see how many elephant troops there were before making a decision. He also sent Xiao Ruohai to communicate with Shen Kunyang…
If the main force of Tianfeng Kingdom retreats and the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom enters the canyon, they will immediately seal both exits and will never let the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom escape from the canyon intact.
If it’s a small-scale retreat, or even a tentative retreat… in order not to affect the overall situation, we can only let them go first.
At the same time, Bai Qingyu sent someone to deliver the news to Pingyang City and Bai Jinzhi, and also sent someone to Dayan to inform Dayan of the news that Tianfeng Kingdom had sent people to explore the way, urging Dayan to send troops and not wait until tomorrow morning.
However, the soldiers sent by Bai Qingyu to Mengcheng to report the news to Yan State encountered the Yan army led by Murong Yan and Xie Xun before they arrived in Yan State.
Before Murong Yan set out with the Yan army, he had already sent people to set up an ambush on the fastest road from Mengcheng to Pingdu City, and killed all the spies from Tianfeng Kingdom who were preparing to report the news.
At this time, hearing the report from Bai Qingyu’s subordinates that there was movement in Tianfeng Kingdom, Murong Yan immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Bai Jinzhi and Bai Qingyu, asking them to block the north gate and west gate of Pingdu City within half an hour.
Xie Xun and Murong Yan divided their troops into two groups. Murong Yan led 30,000 soldiers and rushed to besiege the north gate of Pingdu City in the snow, while Xie Xun led 50,000 soldiers and headed straight for the west gate.
The Yan army arrived so fast that the Tianfeng Kingdom was caught off guard. Just as the Tianfeng soldiers and one-third of the elephant army were getting ready to evacuate, before they could leave, Sar Khan received news that the Yan army was about to reach the west gate.
The sentry from Tianfeng State who was monitoring the movements of Yan State did not report in advance, so he was probably dead.
The uneasiness in the Great Wizard’s disciple’s heart became more obvious: “Our sentinels may have been dealt with in advance. The Yan State came prepared!”
The Great Wizard’s disciple turned to look at Sar Khan, who was sitting in front of the brazier with a cold expression. “Perhaps Dayan and Zhou knew how powerful our elephant army was, so they joined forces to deal with our elephant army! Your Majesty… While the Zhou is not attacking the city, we should charge out from the south gate, cross the Danshui River, and go to meet General Akshay!”
“Do the Great Zhou and Yan dare?” Sar Khan gritted his teeth, disdain in his eyes, “The elephant army led by Akshay is the main force of our Tianfeng Kingdom. They are going to use all the strength of the two countries to deal with our elephant army. Aren’t they afraid of Akshay’s revenge, or that our Tianfeng Kingdom will be destroyed by them?”
