"Report, King." A soldier stepped forward and reported: "Commander Murong sent news that Qin Pei has been shot and killed, the cities in the south have been pacified, and he has joined Zhang Shunxiao's brother and sister."
"King, now that we have captured King Kasi, all the heroes have outstanding military achievements and should be rewarded." Jiang Yuxuan said.
"Yes, it's time for a reward." Luo Feng said happily: "I thought that I could meet you in this life and do something big enough to record in history."
"King, can you talk about the key points?" Zhang Xuli said with a smile.
"Hehehe, okay." Luo Feng said: "Your contribution is definitely enough for the army commander."
"Thank you, King. You must honor your salary and don't forget it."
"Do you still want the official position of legion commander? Don't want me to leave it to someone else."
"Yes, of course." Zhang Xuli said anxiously.
"Shunxiao and Murong are not here. Send a letter to them and make them army commanders."
"Yes, I will go and deliver the order immediately." Guan Pei responded.
"And Yuxuan, Tuoba, you are already court officials. The kingdom does not have a higher official position for you at the moment, so I can only reward you with a mansion."
"Thank you King."
After Jiang Yuxuan and Tuoba thanked Xiangchang, Xiangchang Tuoba continued: "This time we have expanded a large territory and our power has increased a lot, but Xiujie is even more powerful and has completely unified the northwest."
"Fortunately, there is a divine punishment." Zhang Xuli said happily: "Otherwise, Ma Xiaoke would have been defeated and retreated to Aiqian City by now."
"Ma Xiaoyao is not optimistic now." Tuoba Xiangchang said: "When Xiujie attacked Yan Xiao, Ma Xiaoyao took the opportunity to move westward and swallowed up Xiujie's four cities. Now Xiujie has settled the northwest and is returning to the army to destroy it. Ma Xiaoke."
"If Ma Xiaoke is defeated, it will be even more difficult for us." Luo Fengchou said.
Jiang Yuxuan said: "Although our army won this time and saw that the kingdom has become unprecedentedly powerful, it is actually empty. We must rest and wait for the coming year to first destroy Chen Zishu and then fight Xiujie."
"Can you win?" Luo Feng asked.
Jiang Yuxuan said: "There is no other way. This is the only strategy closest to success."
"I hope Ma Xiaoke can hold on." Luo Feng sighed.
Ma Xiaoke had just captured Xiujie's Yuwa City and was waiting for news from the right army group Ningtai in the city lord's palace.
"Report, King, the commander of the Ning Army has sent information that He Xiqing has been defeated, and the army on the right is approaching us." A soldier reported.
"Okay, great." Ma Xiaoke said happily: "Now Xiujie is finished."
Ma Zhou said: "King, since Commander Ningjun has defeated He Xiqing, we will continue to advance and make all the cities in the southern part of Zhongzhou belong to our kingdom."
"Okay, give me the order to assemble the army and prepare to march westward."
"yes."
Ningtai was heading south, preparing to join forces with Ma Xiaoke. When he heard that Ma Xiaoke was preparing to continue heading west, he could only order the entire army to march west-south.
Xiu Jie led the army slowly southward, with an unhappy expression on his face as he said, "I originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture Chen Zishu, but Ma Xiaoke showed up."
Futuo also had a dull look on his face and said: "King, in comparison, if we destroy Ma Xiaoke first, it will be advantageous for us to unify Central Continent."
"What's the advantage? Our army moves from south to north, and from north to south. It's a waste of time and resources."
"If Chen Zishu is destroyed first, Ma Xiaoke will pierce us from the east to the west like a sharp blade, and the west is our foundation." Futuo said.
"Then if we withdraw our troops, Uncle Chen won't come to attack us?" Xiu Jie asked.
"Of course not, because there is Luo Feng to the east of him. Even if he comes to fight, it will be a small fight and cannot cause trouble."
"You suggested leaving Lan Yao in the north to lead the entire army. I regret it now that I think about it."
"King, if your wife is in the north, she will definitely keep the north safe. Besides, the king is in a hurry to return to the army to support He Xiqing. He has no time to send better heroes."
"I'm always worried about Lan Yao," Xiu Jie said.
Futuo was silent after hearing the words, and after thinking about it, he said: "Please let the king trust your wife. Xu Gong should be near Ningtai's army now."
"You two battalions are very brave to surprise an army." Xiu Jie immediately showed an arrogant smile on his face.
"Two battalions are naturally not enough, but there is still He Xiqing's army. When Ningtai reacts, Li Qun'ao's army will also arrive, which is enough to defeat Ningtai."
"Hahaha." Xiu Jie laughed loudly and unscrupulously: "This time, we will kill Ningtai first, and then kill Ma Xiaoke."
To the south, Ningtai's army consisted of nearly 100,000 men. The front army was led by Leng Shengyi, and the rear army was held by Liang Qiwa. There was also an army led by a young swordsman who was heading south to join Ma Xiaoke.
This young swordsman is about seventeen years old. He holds a silver sword in his hand. He is handsome, like a white-faced scholar.
"As long as I hit one more foot, I should be able to be promoted to army commander." The young man thought in his heart.
"Report, Captain Fang, He Xiqing's army has been spotted ahead." A soldier ran over and reported.
He Xiqing had just been defeated by Ning Tai, and now he appeared, definitely with the remnants of his army. Fang Yue immediately shouted: "Catch up and destroy He Xiqing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yue immediately led the army and hurried away.
Arriving in front of the Shili Embankment, Fang Yue saw He Xiqing and his troops standing neatly on the embankment. He stopped and shouted, "He Xiqing, do you dare to come down and fight?"
He Xiqing led the army to retreat all the way. Unexpectedly, he would encounter people from the Ningtai Army. He said angrily: "You are just a child. Get the milk quickly."
Fang Yue was furious when he heard this, picked up his silver sword and rushed forward.
Not to be outdone, He Xiqing led his troops to rush down from the Shili Embankment and fight with Fang Yue's army.
He Xiqing fought forward for a while, then reached Fang Yue's side, and fought with Fang Yue again. The two fought for about half an hour, but Fang Yue couldn't resist, so he retreated and ordered someone to ask Ning Tai for help.
Ningtai received the news and immediately sent the former army Leng Shengyi to support.
Leng Shengyi's army had just passed Wusonglin and received the military order to turn around and head south.
The army turned south one after another. Halfway through, strange movements began to be heard in the five pine forests on the north side.
Leng Shengyi's army nearby heard the sound and felt something was wrong, so he immediately reported it to the commander of the banner.
After hearing the report, the flag commander led a small team and walked from the side to the five pine forest.
Just as he was about to check, the pine tree in front of him suddenly shook, and a man came out of the tree and raised his ax to chop at the flag leader.
The flag leader was shocked and immediately wanted to retreat, but it was too late and he was knocked to the ground by the axe.
"Kill." Xu Gong took back his bloodthirsty battle ax and roared.
Figures of people were moving in the five pine forest, and they rushed out one after another and rushed into Leng Shengyi's army. Under the leadership of Xu Gong, they fought all the way and cut Leng Shengyi's army in two.
Leng Shengyi was in front. When he heard that the middle part of the army was being attacked, he immediately ordered the Third Banner to go to support.
