The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

Chapter 210: Burning the Enemy's Food and Grass

Ren Jingzhi, who pretends to be Yu Gongyu, has a tall and straight figure like a pine tree, and his gorgeous clothes make him look even more extraordinary. Years of fighting have left an indelible mark on him, a calmness and domineering aura that comes from having experienced the battlefield.

He stood there quietly, without saying a word, but he seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops, and no one dared to underestimate him.

Even facing Bai Yuhao's scrutiny, he did not flinch. The coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze people instantly.

He raised his chin slightly, forming a subtle confrontation with Bai Yuhao's arrogance, as if silently declaring that he would not easily succumb to anyone's threats.

Bai Yuhao was somewhat shocked when he saw "Umiya Yu". He frowned slightly, wondering why Umiya Yu's aura was so strong, as if an invisible pressure was rushing towards him. But he still pretended to be superior, trying to straighten his back, trying to hide the panic in his heart.

He coughed lightly, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip to calm himself down. However, his eyes would drift towards "Umiyadama" from time to time, observing his every move.

Bai Yuhao kept reminding himself in his heart that he was the crown prince of the Western Regions and the leader of this war, and he must not lose to the other side in momentum.

"General Yu, I have long heard of your great name. I didn't expect you to risk coming here overnight just to capture the captives. It seems that you really care about these people. However, do you think you can easily solve this matter by coming here?"

Bai Yuhao pretended to be calm, but his voice was a little tense. He stared at "Umiya Tamama" closely, trying to find a clue from his expression. However, "Umiya Tamama" still had no expression on his face, and his eyes were cold, making it hard to understand.

The leader of the enemy army was none other than Bai Yuhao, the crown prince of the Western Regions, and the general who led the troops to the battle. Ren Jingzhi had heard Bai Yuchuan mention him before, and knew that he was the future monarch of the Western Regions, and that he was a sinister, vicious, and ambitious person.

In order to keep his throne, he tried to assassinate Bai Yuchuan several times. The last time Bai Yuchuan and Shen Yiran fell off the cliff was his doing. Thinking of this, Ren Jingzhi looked at Bai Yuhao with a colder look.

Ren Jingzhi looked calm and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "General Bai, now that I have come this far, I naturally hope to resolve this matter peacefully. War will only bring more pain and loss, and will not benefit either side."

Bai Yuhao didn't notice the change in Ren Jingzhi's eyes at all. He was still immersed in his sense of superiority. He snorted and said, "General Yu, since you are here today, you should know your situation. What do you think you have to negotiate with me?"

Ren Jingzhi remained calm and responded, "General Bai, war is not the only way to solve the problem. We can find a solution that is beneficial to both sides through peaceful negotiations."

Bai Yuhao sneered and said, "Peace talks? Do you think I will let this opportunity go so easily?"

He straightened up and said with a sharp look, "It's very simple. Cede Jingfeng County and the three surrounding cities, and send a large amount of food, fodder, gold and silver treasures, and we will release General Li and the people and stop fighting from now on."

Ren Jingzhi frowned slightly and said, "General Bai, your request is too harsh. If we agree to your conditions, where will our people go?"

Bai Yuhao's eyes suddenly flashed with impatience. "Humph, this is not a question I should consider. You only have two choices, either agree to my terms, or wait for me to kill the captives and you, and then I will capture your city."

Ren Jingzhi was silent for a moment, thinking quickly about how to deal with it. He knew that he couldn't easily agree to Bai Yuhao's conditions, but he couldn't anger him either, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Ren Jingzhi's heart tightened, but he didn't show it on his face. He slowly said, "General Bai's request is too harsh. Jingfeng County is a strategic location. The matter of ceding the city is no small matter. I need to ask the court for instructions. As for food and gold and silver treasures, the quantity is so large that it is difficult to raise them in a short time."

Bai Yuhao's face darkened and he snorted, "General Yu, please don't delay. If you don't agree to our conditions, the lives of General Yu and those captives will be in danger."

At the same time, Umiyadama arranged some soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians under the city wall, deliberately provoking conflicts and creating chaos. Some soldiers opposed "Umiyadama" to negotiate as planned, shouting loudly, and the scene was in chaos for a while.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yu Gongyu led a thousand elite soldiers in plain clothes and quietly sneaked into the enemy from another direction. They carefully avoided the enemy's patrol team and gradually approached the enemy's food and grass storage area.

Yu Gongyu's heart was beating nervously, like the rapid beat of a drum. He and Ren Jingzhi had already agreed that if he still didn't come out of the enemy camp after an hour, it would mean that the negotiations had failed.

At that time, they will take action as planned once everything is ready.

In the enemy camp, the negotiation between Ren Jingzhi and the enemy generals reached a deadlock. The enemy generals took a tough stance and demanded huge concessions from the "Umiyadama" side. Ren Jingzhi cleverly maneuvered and tried to delay the situation as much as possible.

At this time, Yu Gongyu and Chen Yi had successfully reached the place where the enemy's food and grass were stored. They were like ghosts in the dark night, lurking quietly.

Yu Gongyu tightly grasped a torch, his eyes revealing determination, while Chen Yi stood by nervously, not daring to breathe.

Yu Gongyu nodded slightly, and Chen Yi immediately understood. He carefully took out the fire starter, blew it gently, and a weak flame ignited.

Then, he quickly lit the torch in Yu Gongyu's hand. The jumping flame was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, but they were carefully concealed.

Yu Gongyu took a deep breath and stared at the pile of food and grass. He waved his hand suddenly, and the torch in his hand flew towards the pile of food and grass like a meteor.

Chen Yi then threw the torch in his hand. The weak flame drew an arc in the night sky and landed accurately on the food and grass.

In an instant, the flames began to spread. At first, it was just a small point, and then it quickly devoured the dry food and grass like a beast.

In an instant, the dry food and grass met the flames, and the fire spread instantly. The orange-red flames greedily licked the food and grass, making a "crackling" sound. Thick smoke rose up, like a black dragon hovering over the enemy camp.

The enemy camp was thrown into chaos in an instant. The soldiers on patrol were the first to see the fire. Their eyes widened with fear on their faces. "Fire! Fire!" Panic shouts rang out one after another.

Some soldiers ran around in panic, not knowing where to go; some soldiers hurriedly took buckets and other tools to try to put out the fire, but in the face of the raging fire, their efforts seemed so insignificant.

"Hurry! Go put out the fire!" "Protect the food!" The officers shouted at the top of their lungs, but the soldiers were already in chaos.
