"Good idea!" Tang Yin felt that Nie Ze's idea was not bad, setting fire to the enemy's granary was indeed a tactic that could be used to win against them in one strike.

He nodded his head, and said to Le Tian and Ai Jia: "Immediately send people to investigate the situation of Pufeng, see if the Pufeng is as General Nie had expected, and is currently collecting and storing food."

"Yes, my lord!" This subordinate will send someone to investigate! " Le Tian and Ai Jia answered at the same time.

Let's not talk about the Sky Eye for now. With Xiao Muqing as the leader, and with unstoppable force all the way since the Zeping entered the Sishui County, he consecutively attacked more than ten cities and towns of the Mo Army. He forcefully attacked from the east side of the Sishui County all the way to the west, approaching the important border of the two countries ? ? Red Dragon Altar.

Right now, Yu Army were precisely being obstructed by Red Dragon Altar. More than two hundred thousand soldiers were being obstructed outside of Mo Country, and the mission of Pingyuan Army was not to take over as many cities and towns as possible within the boundaries of Sishui County.

The Red Dragon Altar's position was unique, it had a backside leaning against a mountain, and was at the top of a high ground. With the high solid defense of the city, it was easy to defend but hard to attack. In addition, within Red Dragon Altar City, the number of guards had already reached twelve to thirty thousand, and among them, there was even the culprit who killed Lu She, as well as County Head.

The Yu Army Camp was located five kilometers west of the city. After the Pingyuan Army had arrived, they were stationed five kilometers away from the other side of the city, opposite of the Jade Camp, which held the Red Dragon Altar in between them from the left and right.

Not long after Pingyuan Army was established in the camp, an envoy from Yu Army arrived. After seeing Xiao Muqing, he gave him a general description of the current situation.

It could be said that the people with Yu Country were elites as well, that is, excellent generals, and generals who were accustomed to battle. But unfortunately, they had been unable to bring down the Red Dragon Altar for a long time.

The reason it was like this, was because Yu Army was not very strong, but the path to Red Dragon Altar was narrow, making it difficult for the army to advance, and they had to attack from the bottom to the top. This caused the attacking side to be at a huge disadvantage.

After introducing the situation, the envoys discussed with Xiao Muqing about whether or not the two armies should agree on a time to attack the Red Dragon Altar together.

Xiao Muqing did not immediately make the decision to attack. He waved his hand and said: "Don't rush! This commander needs to first familiarize himself with the environment of the Red Dragon Altar before making preparations. "

The Yu Country Envoys could not force the issue, but still said: "Our army has been stuck at the Red Dragon Altar for almost two months, and the morale of our soldiers is getting lower and lower. If we do not get out of this city, I'm afraid it will affect the fighting spirit of the entire army!"

Xiao Muqing nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master, I won't delay too long. Within three days, I will definitely give Your Army a reply."

The Yu Country envoy revealed a look of joy as he cupped his hands and said: "This is great, this official is relieved. General Xiao, this official will take his leave first! "

"Lord, take care!" After Xiao Muqing sent the Yu Country envoys away, he immediately gathered the Pingyuan Army scouts, as well as the Sky Eye and Earth Web scouts stationed inside the Pingyuan Army. He let them go around the Red Dragon Altar to investigate, and draw out a detailed map.

On the second day, the scouts that had been sent out returned one after another, and at the same time, handed over a map of Red Dragon Altar to Xiao Muqing.

With Red Dragon Altar leaning on top of the Scarlet Dragon Mountain, the Scarlet Dragon Mountain is tall and steep, reaching up to the sky, so it also has the nickname of 'Sky Stairway'. It was said that in the ancient times, Scarlet Dragon Mountain was much taller than the current time and could reach the top of the sky. Later on, in order to stop mortals from ascending to the heavens, the God of Heaven cut off the Scarlet Dragon Mountain, and half of the mountain fell down to fill up the bottomless Scarlet Dragon Lake.

Although these were all legends of nonsense, it was not difficult to see how dangerous and steep Crimson Dragon Mountain was from this.

After hearing the reports of the scouts, Xiao Muqing frowned. He had initially harbored fantasies about traversing across the Scarlet Dragon Mountain and ambushing Red Dragon Altar City, but now it seemed like it was not going to be possible. Of course, if it was so easy to traverse the Scarlet Dragon Mountain, the Yu Army would have done so a long time ago.

If they couldn't get past the mountain and sneak attack, then they could only forcefully attack from the front. However, with over two months of hard work, the two hundred thousand Yu Army s couldn't even defeat the Red Dragon Altar s. Xiao Muqing didn't have much confidence.

Just as Xiao Muqing was feeling troubled over how to attack Red Dragon Altar, a scout suddenly came to report. A citizen of Mo Country came to their camp and said that he wanted to see the general.

Xiao Muqing was startled, a citizen of Mo Country wanted to see him? That was new. He nodded to the messenger and said, "Bring him to me."

"Yes!" "General!" Feng Soldier replied as she quickly ran out of the Central Army Tent.

Not long after, two Guard of Feng Army s accompanied a Mo Country citizen who was covered in dust and grass walked in. This person was around 30 years old and had a robust build. However, his clothes were similar to a beggar's.

After entering the big tent, he immediately kneeled down and said carefully: "I am Tan Liu, greetings to the General Xiao!"

Tan Liu? Even Xiao Muqing had never heard of him before, nor had he seen him. He asked, "I heard that you want to see this marshal. What's the matter?"

"I am here on behalf of my master to meet the General Xiao."

"Who is your master?" Xiao Muqing asked patiently.

"This ?" The man named Tan Liu looked left and right, and did not speak immediately.

Xiao Muqing understood what he meant and waved his hand: "Everyone here is this commander's trusted aide, you can speak freely."2

"The owner of this lowly one is ? It's Master Peng Cheng Peng. " Tan Liu's voice was so quiet it was hard to hear.

Upon hearing the two words "Peng Cheng," Xiao Muqing's eyes immediately widened. Two rays of light as sharp as knives shot out, sweeping across Tan Liu's face and body. Tan Liu trembled in fear, he immediately lowered his head, and did not dare to even breathe.

Pow! Xiao Muqing suddenly slammed the table, pointed at Tan Liu, and said: "Scoundrel Peng Cheng, you have caused the death of our loyal Master Lu, I, Windy had long formed an irreconcilable enmity with him, we wind people, we can't wait to shatter their bones and eat their flesh. Someone come! "

"What is the general's command?" Four Guard of Feng Army s suddenly rushed in from outside the tent. Xiao Muqing pointed at Tan Liu and said: "Drag this thief out and dismember his body into a million pieces!"

"Yes sir!" The guards did not care who you were, they only followed the military orders, gathered together, pulled Tan Liu and walked out.

Tan Liu was so scared that his face turned pale and he shouted crazily: General, please spare me, General, please spare me! Master Lu's death has nothing to do with my master, it was caused by a traitor ? "

Xiao Muqing was too lazy to listen to all these and waved his hands in frustration, signalling the guards to quickly drag him away. The guards increased their pace and dragged Tan Liu out of the Central Army Tent like dragging a dead dog.

"This kind of reckless person is truly laughable!" Xiao Muqing shook his head and sneered.

The surrounding General of Feng Country also laughed out loud and said, "If everyone can act like this thief and fall into my camp, then our army will be at ease."

"General, this little one has a way to break through the city ?" At this time, Tan Liu's hoarse shout came from outside the tent.

"Huh?" These words made Xiao Muqing's heart move, he was stunned for a moment, then casually pointed to one of his subordinate officers and said: "Quickly go, bring this Tan Liu back to me! "Faster!"

General of Feng Country hurriedly replied as she swung her legs and rushed out.

After a few seconds, the General of Feng Country returned, and at the same time, grabbed Tan Liu by the collar and pulled him in. He threw Tan Liu to the ground and asked with a deep voice, "What did you say just now? Say that again! "

"Will... "General ?" Tan Liu knelt on the ground, his body shivering and his sweat pouring down like rain. Even his clothes were soaked through.

He stammered, "This little one... I have the means to break through the city, and I came under the orders of my master ? to tell the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army... Just want... "I only hope that the generals can let my master live ?"

Now, Xiao Muqing finally understood. No wonder Tan Liu was willing to walk right into his trap. He had come here to negotiate conditions under Peng Cheng's orders. " Do you really have a way to break through cities? "

"Yes ?" "Yes, yes ?"

"Then why didn't you mention it to Yu Army instead of coming to my Feng Army? Yu Army has arrived much earlier than my Feng Army. "

"The main thing is that my master wants to..." "I have to make up for it ?"

"Didn't you just say that Master Lu's death has nothing to do with your master?"

"It really doesn't matter, but... If my master had noticed the scoundrel's trick earlier, Master Lu would have also... "He won't die."

"And who is the traitor that you spoke of?"

"It's the northwest Inspector, Wei Bo."

"Wei Bo? "Explain in detail what exactly happened!"

Tan Liu did not dare to repeat in a mess, and recounted in detail how Wei Bo had used him, and how he had caused Lu She's death. In the end, he said with tears in his eyes, "General, my master did not intend to harm Master Lu, but sincerely wanted to rely on Windy. Because of the treacherous and cunning Wei Bo, he caused Master Lu to die, and also caused my master's wish to submit to him to fail.

Ah, I see! Tan Liu's words were reasonable, and when he spoke, his gaze did not waver, and his actions were evasive. It seemed that what he said was not wrong. Actually, Xiao Muqing had always felt it was strange, with Lu She's sharp mind, how could he have been killed by the unknown Peng Cheng? Now that he had heard Tan Liu's words, he finally found the answer, Peng Cheng was just a cover that was used by others, the real mastermind behind the scenes was the northwest Inspector Wei Bo.

His heart was more or less filled with trust, but Xiao Muqing still continued to speak: "How can you make this marshal believe all that you've said?"

"If my master is willing to offer a method to break through the city, then it will be enough to prove my master's loyalty." Tan Liu said anxiously.
