"Haha, the governors don't need to be polite."
Zhao Zhen smiled at this time and said, "In the future, I will have to ask a few governors to take care of me."
"I will do my best for Mr. Zhao!"
Seven people drank at the same time, which made Zhao Zhen smile and nod.
"Haha, I told you that none of you are his opponent, right? What now?"
Wang Zhan also laughed at this moment, which made Jiang Ying and others also smile. Not only did their eyes not show any anger, but there was a sense of relief in their eyes.
As He Changkong's most loyal subordinates, they certainly knew how difficult He Changkong's situation was, and they were very worried about the future development of Fengxue City.
Because in their eyes, He Changkong has no successor. Even if He Changkong's daughter He Yun is good, she is still too young after all.
But it's different now, Zhao Zhen is here.
In terms of status, Zhao Zhen is the last master of the Qingyun Sect. In terms of talent, Zhao Zhen has reached the sixth level of martial arts at the age of sixteen, and his explosive power can reach Wutian.
It can be said that this is the best of both worlds. They are naturally extremely pleased that Fengxue City has such a young man to inherit it.
"Haha, okay, since you have no objections, let's go and get busy. Wang Zhan will stay."
At this time, He Changkong smiled, which made the seven governors nod, and then left one after another.
"Zhao Zhen."
Seeing them all leaving, Wang Zhan also put away his smile and looked at Zhao Zhen.
"King Governor."
Zhao Zhen nodded. He knew that the other party must have something to say when he showed this look.
"Shi Lei and Liu Zhen have already told you, right? The 100,000 troops I lead are the most elite 100,000 troops among the 800,000 troops, also known as the Snow Guards."
Wang Zhan said, Zhao Zhen nodded, "You did tell me."
"Well, among the Snow Guards that I command, there are ten generals out of ten thousand people, one hundred captains among one thousand people, and one thousand captains among one hundred people. And each of these people are the best among their peers. Finally, The key thing is that every one of them is extremely loyal to General He."
Wang Zhan said seriously, "So, they are the soul of Snow Wind City and the center of the army, so you must respect them extraordinarily. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understand."
Zhao Zhen nodded immediately. He knew clearly that Wang Zhan was telling him that if he wanted to take power, he must control Wang Zhan's army. Only in this way could he truly inherit Fengxue City.
"Well, after that, I will spread your deeds and let them know you first."
Wang Zhan smiled again, "But knowing you is one thing, recognizing you is another, so if you really want to convince them, you still have to show your true ability."
"I am clear."
Zhao Zhen nodded again. Of course he knew that the most important thing in the army was strength, so he was ready.
"Okay, then from now on, you will be a sergeant in my first regiment of Snow Guards."
Wang Zhan smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I won't give you a military position, but that you have just arrived and have not made any meritorious service, so once the war starts, you must perform well."
"yes."
Zhao Zhen nodded again, and Wang Zhan was very straightforward. With a wave of his hand, dozens of sets of armor were thrown in front of Zhao Zhen.
"Put these away and go back and send them to your people."
Wang Zhan said, Zhao Zhen nodded again and put away the armor. He Changkong also said at this time, "Zhao Zhen, you meet your people first and let them put on their armor. After all, the war will start soon."
"good."
Zhao Zhen responded, then turned around and left the camp directly.
And looking at Zhao Zhen's leaving figure, a light flashed across He Changkong's eyes.
"Wang Zhan, if something happens to me in the future, you must assist him well."
"General, don't worry!"
Wang Zhan suddenly knelt down on one knee and said seriously, "If something unexpected happens, I will be as loyal to him as I am to the general."
"good."
Hearing this answer, He Changkong smiled again, and the sorrow hidden in his eyes was completely replaced by relief.
The day passed quickly.
The next day, just after dawn, the sound of heavy drums came from the south of Snow Wind City, and instantly the wind and snow in the world began to violently stir.
In a tent outside the south gate of Snow Wind City, Zhao Zhen had already put on a suit of dark armor and walked out of the tent.
Looking far away, Zhao Zhen's eyes were filled with solemnity.
"Is the war about to begin?"
But last night, the Hanxue Dynasty's army had already arrived outside the Death Forest. However, they did not attack immediately. Instead, they camped on the spot and repaired all night.
Now that the night has passed, the drums have sounded, and naturally Zhao Zhen knows that the war has really begun.
At the south gate of Snow Wind City, the sound of trampling footsteps and horse hooves could be heard. Teams of black-armored sergeants were seen running out of the city. They quickly formed huge square formations one after another and began to prepare.
At this time, the tent behind Zhao Zhen was opened again, and dozens of young men and women wearing black armor walked out of it, all of them with cold auras and indifferent expressions.
"Are you all ready?"
Seeing them, Zhao Zhen asked lightly.
There was no answer, just a silent nod.
"Well, let's go."
Zhao Zhen said something again, then mounted his horse and rushed towards the Chinese army's tent.
Others also got on their horses and followed closely.
As they moved forward, many people from other legions naturally noticed them.
After all, in the Legion in Snow Wind City, ten people form a team and a hundred people form a lieutenant. However, Zhao Zhen's group only has more than thirty people. Naturally, many people are puzzled.
However, no one dared to ask, and no one dared to stop him at will.
Because they all saw the armor on Zhao Zhen and others, the green mid-level human-level black dragon armor, which proved that Zhao Zhen and others were members of the Snow Guards, which would certainly make the sergeants in awe.
Zhao Zhen also noticed the gazes from around him, but he ignored them and instead looked at the snowy fields in the distance.
He could see countless soldiers wearing white armor on the snowfield in the distance. Under the sunlight, their snow-white armor seemed to have merged with the snowfield. It was extremely dazzling and extremely oppressive.
What made Zhao Zhen most solemn was the aura they exuded.
Calm, thick, and even pleasant.
Yes, it is pleasure.
It seemed that they were not going to fight next, but that they had seen their hometown and wanted to go home.
This reminded Zhao Zhen of He Changkong's evaluation of them.
The wind and snow are home.
Death is my hometown.
How can it be possible to defeat an enemy with such a spirit?
"It seems that we really can only stick to it."
Talking to himself, Zhao Zhen also turned his eyes, no longer looking at the snowy field, but looking at the array on his side.
The array that Fengxue City put out this time was very large.
He Changkong originally had 800,000 troops, but 300,000 came out, forming thirty huge phalanxes.
And all the troops brought by Zhou Jingshen were sent out, forming twenty square formations.
Of course, Zhao Zhen also heard that Zhou Jingshen was very opposed to the reinforcements he led being sent out of the city last night.
It's just that He Changkong has the final say in Fengxue City. Even if Zhou Jingshen is unwilling, he can only cooperate under He Changkong's pressure.
However, Zhou Jingshen still did something, that is, he could send out all of them, but they must stay close to He Changkong's army formation.
This can be regarded as a defensive method to prevent He Changkong from sacrificing only his people at the dangerous moment of the war.
And this was not what Zhao Zhen expected. He knew that people like Zhou Jingshen who were always calculating people would of course prepare for the worst in everything.
"But the secret decree in Zhou Jingshen's hand hasn't been taken out yet. Well, from this point of view, he probably wants to wait for the critical moment to get it."
Zhao Zhen's eyes turned. He knew clearly that since Zhou Jingshen entered the city, he would definitely seize power with secret decrees. But now that Zhou Jingshen was useless, he must have another plan.
"It seems that I have to adapt to circumstances. It would be best if I could find an opportunity to destroy his hidden agenda."
Thinking in his mind, Zhao Zhen just speeded up and rushed towards the Chinese army camp.
At this moment, inside the Chinese army camp.
Zhou Jingshen and He Changkong were standing side by side, and beside them, they were followed by a group of generals.
At this time, they were also looking at the Hanxue army on the snowfield in the distance, their eyes full of seriousness.
"Brother Zhou, the Hanxue Dynasty's army is very well-organized. A million-strong army can be so silent. It seems that the Hanxue Dynasty is really determined to conquer Fengxue City this time. I don't know, Brother Zhou. How do you plan to respond?”
Zhou Jingshen looked at it for a while, then suddenly turned his head and said to He Changkong.
"This is what I want to ask Mr. Zhou."
He Changkong turned his eyes and looked at Zhou Jingshen and said, "Master Zhou, you are the Minister of War of the imperial court, a first-rank official, and your official position is above mine, so I want to hear your opinion."
"My opinion is that I completely respect Brother He's opinion."
Zhou Jingshen said calmly, "After all, Brother He has been guarding Fengxue City for decades and has had many battles with Hanxue Dynasty, but I have been serving His Majesty in Longjing all year round and lack war experience, so it is Brother He who makes the decision. It’s good.”
"Master Zhou is self-aware."
He Changkong said lightly, which made the people behind Zhou Jingshen's eyes darken, but Zhou Jingshen had no expression, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in He Changkong's words, and just looked at He Changkong.
"My opinion, of course, is to stick to the old method."
He Changkong said at this time, "The Death Forest is the first line of defense, which can cause them a certain degree of trouble, and the 500,000 troops here are the second line of defense, which can consume a large amount of their troops. , when the consumption is almost gone, we will retreat to the city and defend the third line of defense."
"That's it. This is indeed the safest method."
Zhou Jingshen nodded, "But...I'm a little worried."
"Where to worry?"
"For a hundred years, Hanxue Dynasty has been trying to attack us, but every time they attack, they don't use more than 500,000 troops, but this time they brought 1 million. This can be seen from this fact. determination this time, so I’m worried that they have figured out a way to crack Brother He’s tactics.”
