After saying that, Jiang Chen's gaze turned towards the once glorious City Lord's Mansion.

But when Jiang Chen arrived, he was shocked by the tragic scene before him.

The once magnificent City Lord's Mansion was now just a pile of rubble, everything swept away by the Xiongnu like a locust plague.

Jiang Chen wasn't surprised. The purpose of the Xiongnu's massive invasion was to burn, kill, and loot. It would be a fool's dream to expect anything to be left in the city.

"Several carts of grain will soon be transported to you from outside the city. Hide them well and don't let Jiang Zuo Wang discover them. That guy will do anything to gain the trust of the Xiongnu."

"Also, these brothers should be ambushed in the burned-down buildings. I don't believe Jiang Zuo Wang will have the patience to search every room. When I give the order, the brothers will rise up together."

Hearing Jiang Chen's arrangements, they all nodded solemnly.

Soon, Jiang Chen left under their escort, but after he left, he felt a strange unease in his heart. Given Jiang Zuo Wang's habitually restless nature, he was afraid that he would come up with something beyond imagination.

Jiang Chen had only just returned to his camp when Jiang Zuo Wang also returned, cursing, after separating from Zhennan Wang. Seeing Jiang Zuo Wang's dark face, the generals seemed to guess something, but none of them spoke.

After all, Zhennan Wang was the greediest of the five Xiongnu kings.

Remembering Jiang Chen's instructions, they all remained silent, quietly awaiting Jiang Chen's subsequent orders.

"Repair the destroyed city gate as soon as possible these days. I suspect the Xiongnu will have other actions next."

After a moment of thought, Jiang Zuo Wang finally decided to act according to Zhennan Wang's previous suggestion.

After all, with his less than five thousand soldiers, it would be a fool's dream to compete with Jiang Chen.

The only chance to turn the tide was to lure the Xiongnu into the pass, use their hands to forcefully break through Jiang Chen's defenses.

"Besides this front, is there any way to cross Jiang Chen's camp and send information to the rear?"

Hearing Jiang Zuo Wang's sudden question, the generals were filled with doubt. According to Jiang Zuo Wang's habits, he would rarely share such sensitive information with them. But now he suddenly asked them, which made them even more puzzled.

But after a moment's thought, after seeing the group of people eyeing them covetously behind Jiang Chen, they seemed to guess something and couldn't help but sneer.

Although the Su family had basically leaned towards Jiang Chen, the commanders were still holding their heads high and were unwilling to come to support them. Therefore, Jiang Zuo Wang was probably planning to personally persuade the Su family.

Thinking of this, they all shook their heads.

"How could we know these things? We have just arrived at Shimen Pass, and we don't even know the specific situation around us."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the entire Shimen Pass is probably caught in a two-pronged attack. Either..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Jiang Zuo Wang.

"Don't think about persuading me to bow my head to Jiang Chen. Now that I've embarked on this path, I'm already in an irreconcilable situation with Jiang Chen. Either he dies or I die. The reason why I came to help him defend Shimen Pass is entirely because I can't bear to see the surrounding people being trampled by the Xiongnu."

If it weren't for the fact that everyone had seen Jiang Zuo Wang personally looking for Zhennan Wang, they might have actually believed Jiang Zuo Wang's nonsense.

Thinking of Jiang Zuo Wang's appearance, everyone was filled with anger.

This guy had probably already reached a cooperation with the Xiongnu, betrayed everyone's interests, but still pretended to be considering everyone's interests. His pretentious appearance made many people feel disgusted.

But remembering Jiang Chen's instructions, they had no choice but to act according to Jiang Zuo Wang's arrangements.

While they were repairing the city gate, Zhennan Wang had already found the other four with the prepared contract. Seeing the conditions offered by Zhennan Wang, they all smiled in unison.

It could be said that the gap between them had been completely eliminated for the first time.

"Since you are so confident in this operation, why don't we take a gamble with you? Anyway, we are not the cannon fodder. As long as we can really take down Jiang Chen, how can that guy called Jiang Zuo Wang cause any trouble? He's just a useless person who thinks he's very powerful."

Thinking of Jiang Zuo Wang's self-righteous appearance when negotiating with Zhennan Wang, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

After they had all divided up their own interests, everyone quickly took action and disappeared into the distance in unison.

Jiang Zuo Wang stood confidently on the city tower, provoking Jiang Chen from time to time.

Seeing Jiang Zuo Wang's arrogant appearance, many people gritted their teeth and wished they could rush to the city tower now and help Jiang Chen take Jiang Zuo Wang's head. However, Jiang Chen had not given them any orders, so they could only watch the arrogant Jiang Zuo Wang and do nothing.

While Jiang Zuo Wang was constantly cursing, Mei Pengfei finally rushed back to the Khan.

Seeing Mei Pengfei returning alone, the Khan immediately had a bad feeling.

"Could it be that we suffered a great defeat on the front line, and that's why you came back so quickly, Military Advisor?"

Hearing the Khan's question, Mei Pengfei waved his hand dismissively.

"Those guys are too arrogant. No one can command them. Since they are so confident, then everything can naturally be handed over to them to act on their own. I am very curious to see how capable they are. If they could take down Shimen Pass with their own strength, how could they have stayed until now?"

"However, before that, there is still something that needs to be entrusted to the Khan. I need to send someone to send a letter to the pass. This still requires the Khan to put in a lot of effort."

After saying that, Mei Pengfei took out a letter and handed it to the Khan.

The Khan was not at all annoyed by Mei Pengfei's actions. Instead, he silently accepted the letter, as if he was now working for Mei Pengfei.

It wasn't until only Mei Pengfei and the Khan were left in the tent that the Khan quickly jumped down from his seat and knelt in front of Mei Pengfei.

"Please forgive me. If I don't act like this, once they know that I am your puppet, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this position."

At this point, the Khan's face was full of humiliation.
