When the news of Western Army's tragic defeat spread back to the Liangzhou, everyone was stunned. Over a hundred thousand Western Army, including Wei Zheng, the commander, were all annihilated by the Pingyuan Army, this was something no one expected, including Yan Chu and Zhangsun Yuanhong.

Losing the General Wei Zheng and the Western Army that could fight in battles was simply too big of a blow to the forces of the Ning Country, so Yan Chu, who was in high spirits and had achieved great achievements in his youth, could not help but feel that a great catastrophe was approaching him. The Feng Mo Alliance army in the south was like a hot knife through butter, winning several battles in a row, the Feng Army in the east was like a tiger waiting to attack, how could he respond?

At this time, Right Prime Minister took the opportunity to suggest a way, asking Yan Chu to send someone south to resolve this urgent situation.

Zhang Zhihong's suggestion received the support of many of the Ning Country Ministers. Even the ministers who were not from the Right Prime Minister's faction thought that Zhangsun Yuanhong was the only one who could solve the problem in the south at the moment.

But Yan Chu was hesitant. Now that Zhangsun Yuanhong was the last trump card in his hand, he naturally had to stay and protect the capital. If he was sent to the south to do battle, once there was an accident or the Feng Army from the east took the chance to attack, then things would become bad.

After hearing Zhang Zhihong's suggestion, Yan Chu did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he asked Zhangsun Yuanhong, "General Yuanhong, what kind of plan do you have?"

From the bottom of his heart, Zhangsun Yuanhong wanted to go to the south. Although his impression of Wei Zheng was not exactly good, it was definitely not bad either, because Western Army was a lifeline that he brought out with a single hand, and now that his Pingyuan Army had been annihilated, Zhangsun Yuanhong's heart was bleeding.

However, his rationality did not allow him to do so. After all, there was still a large amount of Feng Army stored in the east side, and their movements were extremely abnormal, as if they were not rushing to the west. With Tang Yin's personality, he was definitely plotting something, and did not dare to rashly leave the capital.

He thought for a while and then sneered. He cupped his hands and said, "This subject has no good ideas. I just want to stay and guard the city!" While speaking, Zhangsun Yuanhong did not even look at Yan Chu.

He had a certain amount of resentment and even hatred towards Yan Chu, or perhaps you did not need to use yourself. Since you used yourself, and did not trust him, then, if he had not transferred him from Hexi Army Camp back to the capital, would Feng Army have been able to attack the Zhang River so smoothly, would it not have been destroyed under Wei Zheng's command? It could be said that the Western Army was not lost to the hands of the Pingyuan Army, but rather lost to Yan Chu.

Yan Chu did not know what Zhangsun Yuanhong was thinking, but seeing his arrogant attitude, the hand under the table slowly clenched into a fist. From Yan Chu's point of view, Zhangsun Yuanhong definitely thought that since he had no one left to use, he could only rely on him. That was why he dared to become so unbridled in front of, and completely didn't put him in his eyes at all.

Yan Chu and Zhangsun Yuanhong, these two monarchs, had never thought of going over together. However, neither of them was willing to speak out the words in their hearts, which resulted in them not trusting the other, and thus the conflict between them grew deeper.

Zhangsun Yuanhong's arrogance caused the roots of Yan Chu's teeth to itch, but he was helpless. Right now, there was no one left for him to use, and he could only rely on Zhangsun Yuanhong. He secretly sighed, turned his head and said to Zhang Zhihong: "Prime Minister Zhang, what General Yuanhong says makes sense. This king thinks that it is best to let General Yuanhong stay behind to guard the capital."

Zhang Zhihong frowned, and said with a stern expression: "Right now, the main force of the Feng Mo Alliance is in the south, if there is no general blocking them, I am afraid before long, the main force of the Feng Mo Alliance will reach the Liangzhou, and when that time comes, the King will regret everything!"

"But ?"

Yan Chu was hesitating and wanted to say something, but Zhangsun Yuanhong interrupted him: "But what if I go south, and the Feng Army in the east suddenly makes an attack? He Xi was just half a month away from the Liangzhou, so it would only take half a month for him to arrive there. Once the Feng Army arrived, who in the capital could defend against it? "

With his words interrupted, Yan Chu felt even more stifled in his heart. However, he had no choice but to admit that his words were reasonable, and that this was precisely what he was worried about.

Zhang Zhihong smiled and said to Zhangsun Yuanhong: "Does General Yuanhong think that there is no one left in my Da Ning? Don't forget, just a month or so ago, Shaoling County County Head Lin Han suffered a huge defeat at the Daiyun City realm and completely annihilated Feng Army. That is an entire legion of people, ah.

Zhangsun Yuanhong really wanted to call Zhang Zhihong a pig head, he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "According to what I know, Heavenly Eagle Army's defeat is due to the change in general. It's not due to County Head Lin's brilliant strategy and tactics. Now that Tang Yin has regained control and his Heavenly Eagle Army has been rebuilt, does Prime Minister Zhang think that County Head Lin can still hold on? "

What he said was the truth, but his tone was too unyielding and arrogant, completely putting on a condescending attitude, as though other than Zhangsun Yuanhong, there was no one else in Ning Country who would fight. Hearing that, all the disciples looked at each other, all of them angered, even Yan Chu frowned, and looked at Zhangsun Yuanhong with cold eyes.

I don't know if he was pretending or if he was truly angered by Zhangsun Yuanhong's words, but Zhang Zhihong's body was trembling. He pointed at Zhangsun Yuanhong and bellowed, "General Yuanhong, you're saying ? Don't feel too... "You're looking down too much on the talents of my Da Ning; you're looking down too much on your enemies' ambition to extinguish your own might?"

Humph! Zhangsun Yuanhong snorted, he raised his head and looked at the other officials, and said slowly: "Prime Minister Zhang, no need to be angry, what I said was also the truth."

"You ?"

"Stop being so noisy."

Yan Chu stood up, looked at Zhang Zhihong, then looked at Zhangsun Yuanhong, as he paced back and forth in front of the throne, upset.

If he did not send him, the war in the south would become tense, and the local army that was gathered at the Jiachang County would not be able to stop the attacks of the Feng Mo Alliance army. If he was sent out, and his body was too empty, and the eastern Feng Army suddenly released its strength, quickly breaking through the Shaoling County, then the capital would be in danger.

Sigh! In the end, Yan Chu sighed and said: "This matter, I still need to consider it more carefully. In the future, we can discuss it. With that, he waved his sleeves and left.

Zhang Zhihong's suggestion was not accepted by Yan Chu due to his interference, so of course he would not stop there. Whether Zhangsun Yuanhong could be pulled out of the capital, or whether or not he could be promoted to the throne of Ning Country in the future, would be up to him.

Just like what Tang Yin had said, under the trend of greed and desire, a person's eyes would usually be clouded, the clever Zhang Zhihong actually could not see through Feng Mo's desire for peace, he was only listening to the orders of the Son of Heaven, this was also an unbelievable matter.

When he returned home, he immediately found the Sky Eye personnel that stayed in his residence and told him to quickly send a message to Tang Yin in the river west, telling him to attack Shaoling County again before defeating them again. Only then, would he have a strong excuse to send Zhangsun Yuanhong south.

According to his meaning, the Sky Eye Scout would send a message to Hexi Province and explain Zhang Zhihong's intentions.0

Very quickly, the message arrived at the west side of the river, and was finally handed over to Tang Yin.

In this period of time, Tang Yin had been waiting for news regarding Liangzhou, and now, he finally received a message from Zhang Zhihong. He read through the contents carefully, then closed his eyes and sank into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes, faced upwards and laughed lightly, as he muttered to himself: "Very good, looks like Zhang Zhihong is indeed working for me."

Zhang Zhihong allowing himself to suffer another defeat was obviously to confuse the Liangzhou. The reason he was willing to do so was definitely because his admonition was being obstructed.

They were not afraid of his request, only that he would not make a sound request.

First, it was the arrival of the second batch of reinforcements from Feng Country. This caused the strength of Heavenly Eagle Army and the forces of Directly Subordinate Army to be restored to only one hundred thousand. Second, it was the reconstruction of the new army.

Originally, Heavenly Eagle Army belonged to the cannon fodder army, but now that the new army had replaced Heavenly Eagle Army, they became the new cannon fodder army in the Feng Army. From the soldiers, up to the thousand-man commander, and even the Regiment Commander, all the people in the army were the same, but only the Regiment Chief was a Wind Man, and they were also personally appointed by Tang Yin, and just like before, they were still Guan Tang.

Last time, the new army had all lost to the Zhang River, and after being rebuilt, they had gathered around 50,000 people, with Guan Tang as their Regiment Chief. Actually, the new army was still far from being able to complete the army formation, and Guan Tang's title of Regiment Chief was also far from that of Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Zi Ying and the rest. In truth, his rank was only slightly higher than the army leader.

The current status of the new army within the Feng Army could also be seen from the rank of their commander.

After receiving the order, Tang Yin immediately ordered for Heavenly Eagle Army and the new army to join hands to attack Shaoling County. Zi Ying was the leader, Guan Tang was the support, and like last time, this battle was only to be defeated, they were not allowed to win, but to accomplish what seemed to be a huge loss on the surface, it would all depend on Zi Ying's ability.

After receiving their orders, Zi Ying and Guan Tang got together to discuss the plan of the battle.

Guan Tang was very self-aware and understood what the role of the new army was. He smiled at Zi Ying and said, "General Zi Ying, with our new army as the lead, we will definitely lose. We will lose completely and in a complete mess."

Hearing that, Zi Ying could not help but laugh, he shook his head and said: "The new army is a peaceful army, for them to send you guys to the front, and for you to be defeated, does that mean we understand our intentions too clearly?"

Guan Tang scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly: "General Zi Ying, then what do you think we should do?"

Before Zi Ying could reply, he heard someone speaking outside of the tent: "Uncle Zi Ying, can you bring me along this time?"

Following the voice, Han Zhan walked in from outside.

After Tang Yin brought Han Ning and back to the camp, he originally wanted to send the two back to the Feng Country. However, since Han Zhan insisted on staying, Tang Yin didn't stay any longer.

He could have kept Han Zhan, but he could not have kept his. Han Ning was a woman after all, he had not joined the army, so it would be inconvenient for his to stay in the army. Furthermore, Feng Army was reorganizing the military discipline in the military.

In the end, he left Han Zhan behind, sent someone to send Han Ning back to the Yan City, and patted her chest as he assured her that he would definitely not let Han Zhan injure a single strand of hair on his body.
