It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

"Young Master Pei, you didn't come to my tent just to chat about everyday matters, did you?"

Kong Fan got straight to the point.

Before Su Chen arrived, he had already wandered around the entire camp, clearly trying to attract everyone's attention.

If you're just here to chat about everyday things, there's no need to go to all this trouble.

The other party probably wants something from me.

"As expected, the truth could not be hidden from General Kong."

I want to borrow troops!

Su Chen didn't beat around the bush with the other party.

Last night was the limit for those three thousand ragtag troops. If they were to engage the barbarian army in a direct confrontation, they would definitely collapse at the first touch.

To realize his subsequent ideas, he needed a force with decent combat capabilities.

How much do you need to borrow?

Kong Fan neither agreed nor refused.

If lending out troops can alleviate the crisis at Zhenbeiguan, then it's not impossible to lend them out.

I didn't lend it to them before because I couldn't see any hope.

Last night, Pei Yichen proved his ability. If it's not too outrageous, borrowing troops is still worth considering.

"At least three thousand."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Kong Fan immediately fell silent.

He only has three thousand loyal followers. If he lends them all out, won't he become a commander without any troops?

It's better to hope that the emperor or Zhou Chongguang will personally come to Zhenbeiguan than to expect him to mobilize the troops of the powerful families!

Zhenbeiguan Pass fell easily.

Without his soldiers, what's the point of him being a general?

"Haha, Young Master Pei is really joking!"

Three thousand soldiers.

"I can't lend it!"

"I wonder how much General Kong can lend at most?"

Seeing this, Su Chen asked another question.

"three hundred!"

Kong Fan was full of energy and did not feel that three hundred soldiers were too few.

"With a formidable enemy at hand, isn't this number inappropriate?"

"Even if I hand over all three thousand of my loyal followers to you, would it be of any use in the current situation?"

Kong Fan no longer held back. These three thousand men were his means of survival, at least within the Zhenbei Pass at present.

Su Chen wanted to borrow the troops with just a word.

It's impossible!

"How about this.

"General, lend me five hundred elite soldiers. If I achieve any merit after leaving the pass, General Kong will certainly not be shortchanged."

"What if it's not a merit?"

Kong Fan is not one to easily accept a piece of cake.

Anyone can draw a pie in the sky, but if you actually try to eat it, you might choke to death.

"Everyone benefits from the military achievements."

If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility!

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Kong Fan fell silent.

He was considering what five hundred soldiers could actually bring him.

Pei Yichen clearly had a grudge against Zhou Chongguang.

But it seems that the emperor is standing behind this person.

Just like Pei Zhongshu back then!

If this guy hadn't died on the front lines and had actually earned some merit, he could have really gotten things going.

At that time, I should be able to earn something back from the five hundred soldiers I borrowed.

In case something unexpected happens and he dies outside.

For Kong Fan, this was no easy task either.

Kong Fan remembered the contents of Zhou Zhongguang's secret letter to kill Pei Yichen clearly.

Regardless of whether Pei Yichen lives or dies, or whether he achieves merit or not, it will be beneficial to Kong Fan.

"Five hundred it is!"

The moment Kong Fan nodded, Su Chen finally smiled.

Five hundred soldiers were far from enough for his plan.

However, this start is already excellent.

After leaving Kong Fan's tent, Su Chen immediately went into the aristocratic family's tent.

The powerful families were much easier to deal with than Kong Fan. These short-sighted fellows practically scrambled to lend troops as soon as they heard he wanted to.

They were afraid they wouldn't be able to lend out their troops.

In the end, the powerful families almost came to blows over the share of troops.

Su Chen couldn't stand it and said a few "fair words" to calm the conflict down.

Within half a day, Su Chen had assembled three thousand soldiers, drawn from more than a dozen aristocratic families, as well as Kong Fan's men.

This group is no better than the rabble from last night.

Their individual combat capabilities might be significantly stronger, but they are all unwilling to submit to each other.

On the battlefield, if any one of them fails to obey orders, it could directly lead to the annihilation of the entire team.

The reason why powerful families agreed to lend troops so readily was probably because they had this intention in mind.

There's no need for deliberate provocation; just let the long-accumulated conflicts erupt slightly.

That's enough to keep Pei Yichen stuck on the front lines!

All that each family paid was a few dozen or a hundred lives.

Cost-effective!

When will you be released from quarantine?

Jiang Li looked at Su Chen with a worried expression.

The area outside Zhenbei Pass was completely surrounded by the barbarian troops.

To get around them, we have to take a risky approach.

"Tonight."

These past two nights have been dark and windy, and the darkness made it easier for him to cross the defenses.

"Pei Yichen".

"Ok?"

"Come back alive."

"Ah."

That night, Su Chen led three thousand soldiers out of the pass again.

Jiang Li looked wistfully at the pink feather in her palm. She had originally intended to put the pink feather on Pei Yichen so that the people of Moyu Tower would protect him as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, it ended up back in my hands.

"Pei Yichen actually dared to come out of seclusion again, with another three thousand men?"

Balth looked at the intelligence report on the table, his eyebrows furrowing tightly.

He reorganized the defenses in the north.

Last night's harassment won't work again!

As long as Pei Yichen dares to make a move, he can keep the person here.

"Keep a close eye on their movements. If they dare to attack my lines, retaliate immediately!"

Last night, Pei Yichen devoured two of their baits. Although it didn't affect the overall situation much, it was a disgrace for Balth.

He was just worried about not having a chance to take revenge.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yichen actually delivered himself to my doorstep!

The familiar division of forces, the familiar movements.

Balth's orders came one after another, waiting for Pei Yichen's troops to get a little closer before launching a full-scale attack and wiping them out!

But just as he was about to take action, all the intelligence suddenly disappeared.

The three thousand soldiers seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing completely from the enclosed battlefield.

Where did he go?

All routes from Zhenbeiguan to the northern regions have been completely blocked!

"Does he think he can sprout wings and fly away?"
