C1468

That was an army of four hundred thousand! Even if they stood still in their original position, the alliance troops would probably have to wait for a few days before they could still kill them!

Receiving the battle report of Dahe Mountain's defeat, the commander of the Chuan Country, Xue Rong, said it three times in a row. At the same time, he was also extremely saddened by the old general's death.

Vice Marshal Jin Zhuo smiled bitterly at Xue Rong: "General, you should be able to tell by now, it won't be easy to fight in Everlasting City!"

Back then, when the four nations were cutting off wind, Jin Zhuo had been the vice commander-in-chief of Chuan Army. Although his Chuan Army was not completely destroyed by the Feng Army, he was still forced to retreat in the end. From that time onwards, in Jin Zhuo's eyes, Feng Country was the number one, strongest enemy in the future.

"Feng King will take on the role of a spy, infiltrate the Huan Army camp, and use tactics to lure the enemy in. This spirit is truly admirable!" Xue Rong said with a smile as he put down the battle report in his hands and sighed.

The Xue Clan he belonged to was one of the most established and traditional aristocrats of the Chuan Country. Xue Rong was born of nobility, lived like a pauper while being pampered, and was extremely arrogant and prideful. It was already rare to see words of praise come out of his mouth.

Jin Zhuo and Xue Rong were around the same age, so they were close in origin and knew each other since childhood. Even though they were young, they were friends that talked about everything, and their relationship was pretty deep. Jin Zhuo held his shoulder and said worriedly: "With Qian Chong's entire army wiped out, the Huan Country court can only send out a maximum of two hundred thousand troops. Even if they were to regroup with our army, it would be hard for them to be an opponent for the allied army. General, we should immediately return to the imperial government and have the King send more reinforcements! "

Xue Rong curled his lips, looking at Jin Zhuo strangely, he laughed and asked: "Jin Zhuo, were you scared to death by a man of the wind? "Without waiting for the battle to begin, we will first request for reinforcements from the King. If this were to spread to the Imperial Court, it would be strange if we would not get laughed out of our wits by him."

"However, the current situation with the Huan Country cannot be controlled by our three hundred thousand reinforcements." Jin Zhuo said with a stern expression: "If the battle were to be lost and there were large-scale losses to the army, then the reinforcements that are requested would not be something that could be stopped by a hundred thousand people."

"You shouldn't try to extinguish the prestige of my family with the determination of others."

Xue Rong waved his hand impatiently. "Although the combined army of Feng, Yu, and An is a large force, I do not place it in my eyes. Even without the assistance of Huan Army, and only relying on three hundred thousand of our soldiers to fight the enemy head on, we may not necessarily lose."

But in all likelihood, he would not win! Jin Zhuo muttered in his heart. If he did not take the last loss, he would not look down on his opponent. However, the battle with the allied army was not child's play, as one loss after another, would bring the entire army into a perilous situation where they would not be able to recover from it.

He looked at He Rushui helplessly, hoping that he would find a way to persuade Xue Rong. Although He Rushui was not a traditional aristocrat with power in Chuan, he was also not a young and burly aristocrat. He was young, but he was already very mature, his mind was sharp, and his shrewdness was deep.

When He Rushui looked at him for help, his eyes turned and he smiled, "I actually feel that not only should General Jin Zhuo ask the imperial government for help right now, the amount of reinforcements that he needs for a hundred thousand is too little. He should ask for two hundred thousand, or even more."

When Xue Rong heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva. He looked at He Rushui with a 'are you crazy?' expression.

He Rushui calmly shrugged his shoulders and said faintly: "As a general, what's the most important thing in my hands? Military power! Right now, the young aristocrats of our country are all gathering troops from all over the country. If we just sit and do nothing, the power we have will be slowly taken away by others. "General, you have to be on guard against anyone. If you don't take advantage of the situation and strike the imperial court down, wouldn't you miss out on a good opportunity?"

After listening to his words, Xue Rong and Jin Zhuo both took a deep breath. Jin Zhuo was secretly angry in his heart. He was hoping that He Rushui would convince him, but he did not want to use a method to satisfy his personal interests to convince him!

On the other hand, Xue Rong's heart moved as he thought that it was reasonable. The war against the allied army was secondary, and the clan's interests in the country should be placed at the top of the list.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded his head, pointing at He Rushui, he said: "What Ru Shui says is reasonable, looks like I need to think carefully about how to write the letter for King."

Jin Zhuo still wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words back, thinking that regardless of what Xue Rong was thinking, winning the battle in front of him was the most important thing.

Under the suggestion of the two vice commander-in-chiefs, Xue Rong wrote a letter to Xiao Xuan. In the letter, he first reported the results of the battle with the Dahe Mountain, and then, he reported that the allied army was courageous and battle-ready, that their Huan Army was extremely weak, and that their own forces were insufficient. Finally, he mentioned in the letter that he asked Xiao Xuan to send more troops over, so as to ensure that there would be no mishaps during the battle to aid the Yue Clan.

This letter of his gave Xiao Xuan no leeway to reject it. He could only agree to his request and continue to gather troops for him.

After receiving Xue Rong's letter, Xiao Xuan immediately dispatched another hundred thousand reinforcements. In addition, he also dispatched another army with the most elite Chuan Country, Blood Camp.

Blood Camp and the other four great battalions of the Heavenly Mystery, Temple, and Peerless Battalions, these four great battalions did not have much strength, but the soldiers in them were all elites, and they were extremely familiar with the hidden arrows and the Peerless Battalion of the Feng Country. Amongst the Four Great Barracks of Chuan Country, a considerable portion of the soldiers were Spirit Cultivator s born with Divine Pool, and among them, Blood Camp was the largest.

When Chuan Country and Feng Country were at war, Xiao Xuan had always wanted to pull Divine Pool to his side, and wanted to let Divine Pool and Chuan Country fight shoulder to shoulder against Feng Country. And all this while, Chuan Country and Divine Pool had always had the best relationship.

Because of this, Xiao Xuan had long since sent a letter to Divine Pool, but the reply he received regarding Divine Pool was not to participate in the battles between empires. This made Xiao Xuan feel rather upset in his heart. He repeatedly sent messages, but the replies from his Divine Pool were always the same; he did not interfere, and he did not participate.

Xiao Xuan even wanted to personally make a trip to the Divine Pool, convince the elders' courtyard in the Divine Pool to send troops to help with the Chuan Country, but Ren Fang's words made Xiao Xuan stop his journey. Do you really think that Divine Pool does not covet the throne? "

The meaning behind Ren Fang's words, was that the Divine Pool was clearly watching a battle between tigers and tigers. It hoped that the various nations would fight with each other, consume each other's strength, and in the end, form a unified structure, and then, someone would stand out to overthrow the current Son of Heaven and become the emperor, and at that time, the Divine Pool would be able to legitimately punish and replace it.

Divine Pool did not have the ability to conquer and unify all the kingdoms under the heavens, but they definitely had the strength to 'eliminate' the new Son of Heaven, and they also had the prestige to replace him.

's words caused Xiao Xuan to shiver. In his heart, he was also unwilling to believe what Ren Fang had said, but if Divine Pool had such a plan, then it was definitely an enemy that was a hundred times scarier than Feng Country.

If there really came a day where his Divine Pool became an enemy, then he would not even be able to sleep soundly, because Xiao Xuan did not know how many people around him, and even amongst the nobles and concubines of the harem, were those who were born with the Divine Pool. How many would take the opportunity to stab him in the back when he was not paying attention, and this, was precisely the true terror of the Divine Pool.2

The reason why Xiao Xuan sent out the Blood Camp this time around was mainly to test the reaction of his Divine Pool. If a large number of casualties were to occur during the war with the allied armies, then logically speaking, his Divine Pool would not sit idly by.

As long as Divine Pool was willing to intervene, then it would mean that Ren Fang's estimation was wrong, and he would be able to sleep peacefully. And if Divine Pool was still unwilling to intervene, then Ren Fang's deduction would be very likely to be correct, and he would have to start preparing for this early on.

Right now, in Xiao Xuan's eyes, the biggest enemy was no longer Feng Yuan's Three Kingdoms, but rather that mysterious and terrifying Divine Pool that had always been concealing its intentions, making it impossible for others to discover its true intentions.

The Chief General of the Chuan Country was not only a commander who planned all the strategies on the battlefield, she was also a politician with profound eyes. Of course, his suspicions towards the Divine Pool and even enmity towards it did not mean that the people around him were the same.

As an old noble who owned a set of Chuan Country, he was extremely clear about the strength of Blood Camp. Among them, there were numerous experts, even if they were to take out an ordinary soldier list, they would still be considered as outstanding Spirit Cultivator. The fact that the King was willing to send the Blood Camp out to him showed the trust and importance she had placed on herself.

He Rushui and Jin Zhuo were very surprised with Blood Camp's participation. Right now, the enemy did not threaten their own land, so why did the King send them out?

The two of them could not understand the deep meaning behind Xiao Xuan's words, they only thought that the King valued the battle greatly, and had sent them Blood Camp, telling them, that they could only win this battle, not lose.

No matter what, with the addition of the hundred thousand strong army and Blood Camp, the battle power of the Chuan Country's reinforcement had increased by a level. This time, Xue Rong was even more confident, and did not place the allied army in his eyes at all.

On the other hand, after the victory of Dahe Mountain, the entire army would be temporarily stationed within the Huan Army Camp.

During the celebratory feast, no one knew who to reward. The biggest credit for this battle naturally belonged to Tang Yin, but he was already the noble king, what other rewards was there to reward?

Tang Yin was not greedy, he took out the contribution that he owed to himself and distributed it among the warriors of the three armies, and even praised Ann Army heavily.

When he was trying to annihilate the main forces of Huan Army, he failed to come into contact with the enemy and cause them to be defeated. This was already a huge achievement, at least in Tang Yin's eyes.

Even Bai Qing felt guilty for separating the two who had achieved the greatest victory and annihilating the enemy with the slowest speed. From the start of the celebratory feast to the end, her face was red all the way until the end of the celebratory feast.
