Chapter 729 Are you worthy of being a general?
"Can someone help me?"
When Jiang Chen heard what the Yanzhou County Magistrate said, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
There is still an expert in Yanzhou City! ?
When the Yanzhou County Magistrate saw Jiang Chen’s expression, he hurriedly called out Yan Youling who was behind him!
"Lord Jiang! This is Master Yan Youling!"
"During the time when the Eighth Sage King came to attack Yanzhou City, it was Master Yan who helped us guard the city gates!"
"If it weren't for Master Yan, I'm afraid... our city gate would have been lost long ago!"
The prefect of Yanzhou introduced Yan Youling's achievements in detail.
When Jiang Chen heard what the Yanzhou County Magistrate said, he was extremely shocked!
I never thought that there was such a talent in Yanzhou. If I could recruit him...
Just as Jiang Chen was thinking this, his eyes turned to Yan Youling.
Yan Youling was wearing a white Confucian shirt at this time.
However, this Confucian robe was now stained with countless blood!
It seems that Yan Youling should be the first to take the lead!
But when Jiang Chen saw Yan Youling's face...
"Um!?"
Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly focused!
Yan Youling’s face is so pretty!
She has an oval face and a pair of bright, big eyes that seem to be able to speak.
Plus that exquisite face!
Even Jiang Chen thought that he was one of the most handsome men.
But after seeing Yan Youling, he felt ashamed of himself!
And at this moment, Jiang Chen's system suddenly rang!
Ninety-eight points! ?
The system actually gave a rating! ?
This was something Jiang Chen had never expected!
The look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Youling became even weirder!
The system gave a score, which meant... Yan Youling was a woman! ?
Another woman dressed as a man! ?
Same as Lu Ling! ?
……
"Lord Jiang is polite, I am Yan Youling!"
"I've always heard about Lord Jiang's deeds, but I never thought I'd have the chance to meet Lord Jiang in person!"
"It's really an honor for me!"
Yan Youling said this with a respectful look on her face, her eyes full of admiration!
When Jiang Chen heard Yan Youling's words, he came back to his senses.
"Mr. Yan, you are too polite. I really admire you for being able to defend Yanzhou County City with the support of 10,000 city defense troops and local militiamen!"
"After I defeat the Eight Wise Kings and return to the capital, I will definitely ask for the credit for Master Yan in front of Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, my Lord!"
Yan Youling was extremely excited when she heard Jiang Chen's words!
If Jiang Chen helps him to get credit, maybe she will have a chance to enter the imperial court in the future!
Seeing that the two had almost finished their conversation, the governor of Yanzhou County stepped forward and said, "Lord Jiang, please enter the city!"
"I will order someone to prepare wine and food to welcome Lord Jiang!"
Under the leadership of the Yanzhou County Magistrate, Jiang Chen entered Yanzhou City.
At the same time, Han Peng led the Imperial Guards and took over the defense of Yanzhou City!
But when Yan Youling saw those guards, she frowned slightly.
She asked Jiang Chen in confusion, "Lord Jiang, did you only bring 20,000 troops?"
"Um!?"
When the Yanzhou County Magistrate heard Yan Youling's words, his face suddenly changed!
Twenty thousand troops, I'm afraid that's not enough! ?
The Eighth Wise King now has at least 40,000 troops!
In addition, the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River are still providing troops to the Eight Wise Kings.
Twenty thousand people are definitely no match!
Jiang Chen looked at the nervous expressions of the crowd and smiled faintly, "Haha, everyone, don't be nervous. This time, I brought 50,000 troops with me, but we have divided our troops into two groups!"
……
"The troops are divided into two groups?"
When the Yanzhou County officials heard Jiang Chen's words, they couldn't help but look confused.
Split up?
Where did that person go?
But Yan Youling's eyes suddenly lit up!
“Lord Jiang, you…you didn’t send another group of troops to the Jiangnan Gate to block the Eighth Sage King’s logistics and supplies, did you?!”
"What!?"
When the Yanzhou County governors heard this, they were all shocked!
But Jiang Chen looked at Yan Youling with higher regard again!
This Yan Youling is quite something!
If I could capture her, would that make up for my shortcomings in leading troops in battle?
But now is not the time to think about this, Jiang Chen smiled faintly at everyone and said: "Not bad!"
"Master Yan is right. Another group of people has already gone to cut off the Eighth Sage King's retreat!"
"The gateway to Jiangnan is easy to defend but difficult to attack!"
"Now, even if the Eighth Sage King wants to go back to Jiangnan, he probably can't do it!"
"My Lord is wise!"
The governor of Yanzhou immediately started to flatter Jiang Chen!
Although he was a high-ranking official in a certain area, his official rank was not lower than that of the governor of Kyoto.
But Jiang Chen, the governor of Kyoto, is different!
Who is Jiang Chen? He is the most trusted minister of Emperor Dajing!
This is still unknown in the Dajing officialdom!
To offend Jiang Chen is simply seeking death!
Yan Youling also praised Jiang Chen!
"This move of the Marquis is truly a stroke of genius!"
"Now that the Eighth Sage King has lost his reinforcements, his strength will definitely be affected!"
"But in the short term, their food should not be a problem. After all, the other two cities are in his hands. The food in those two cities is enough for the Eighth Sage King to support him for a while!"
……
When Jiang Chen heard Yan Youling's words, he nodded lightly.
He naturally understood what Yan Youling meant!
Yan Youling was subtly reminding him that if he wanted to trap the Eighth Wise King to death, it was impossible!
If you want to break into the city, you probably have to find another way.
As everyone was chatting, they had already arrived at the Yanzhou government office.
But just when everyone arrived at the gate of the government office, someone rushed out of the government office.
"Jiang Chen!?"
"It's really you!"
"His Majesty has indeed sent you out!"
When the three defeated generals saw Jiang Chen, their eyes suddenly turned cold!
This time, Jiang Chen outshined them again!
They went to battle and were defeated!
However, Jiang Chen is now leading his troops here. If Jiang Chen defeats the Eight Sage Kings, how can they not say that they are inferior to Jiang Chen! ?
When the three of them thought of this, how could they still have a good attitude towards Jiang Chen!
When Jiang Chen saw these three people, his eyes were full of disgust!
He said rudely, "Haha, who did I think it was? It turns out to be three defeated generals!"
"I always thought you could defeat the Eight Wise Kings!"
"But I didn't expect that you were beaten by the Eighth Sage King and fled away with all your soldiers destroyed!"
"You guys are worthy of being a general!?"
"You...what did you say!?"
When the three generals heard Jiang Chen's words, they immediately became furious!
"Jiang Chen! You are too arrogant!"
"How dare you! Even if you are a marquis, you shouldn't be so arrogant!?"
"Jiang Chen! Are you trying to challenge the dignity of our generals?!"
The three generals roared angrily, their eyes filled with rage!
"This... Generals, please don't be angry..."
"Master Hou..."
The prefect of Yanzhou saw that something was wrong and hurried out to persuade them.
But at this moment Jiang Chen uttered two words coldly!
"Your Majesty!"
