In the Ganyang Protectorate's government office, Cao Tingjin, the Grand Commandant of the Ganyang Protectorate, said in a deep voice to Fan Cheng, the Grand Commandant of the Huaide Protectorate, and Liang Zixing, the Grand Commandant of the Shaochang Protectorate: "After the prince was murdered, the Crown Prince sent someone to inform me to have the Ganyang Army release the Zhenxi Army to force their way through the pass."

As soon as Cao Tingjin finished speaking, Fan Cheng sighed and said, "The prince also sent someone to deliver a letter to me, asking the Huaide Army to prepare to support the Ganyang Army."

Liang Zixing then said, "I also received a letter from the prince, ordering the Shaochang army to be ready to support the Ganyang army at any time to resist the Zhenxi army's breakthrough."

Cao Tingjin hesitated for a moment and said, "But I feel that the real culprit behind the assassination of the prince should not be the Marquis of Zhenxi."

Fan Cheng nodded and said, "Although the Marquis of Zhenxi may not be loyal to the court, he would not assassinate Prince Yong'an.

If the Marquis of Zhenxi really wanted to rebel, he would have done so more than two years ago in Leizhou."

After the Liang army defeated the Northern Jin army in Leizhou, if the Zhenxi army, whose strength was intact, had launched an attack on the seven-town imperial guards led by Prince Yong'an and several border troops, it would have been equivalent to destroying 80% of the elite troops controlled by the Liang court in one battle.

Liang Zixing then said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether Sun Hao is the real culprit behind the assassination of the prince, our three protectorates must also be prepared to prevent the Zhenxi Army from taking the opportunity to attack Suolong Pass and Longyu Pass.

Does the Jinyiwei have any news about the Zhenxi Army?"

Cao Tingjin shook his head and said, "News came from the Jinyiwei that there have been no major movements in the Zhenxi Army recently.

However, to prevent any accidents, I have already deployed a guard at both Lock Dragon Pass and Longyu Pass."

Fan Cheng sighed again at this time, "What do you think our three protectorates will do in the future?

Now that the prince is gone, there is no one left at the court to support us."

Cao Tingjin then said in a deep voice, "This is also the reason why I invited you two here. The three of us really need to think about the future."

Liang Zixing frowned, "General Cao, General Fan, what do you mean by this?

Although the prince is gone, the crown prince is still here. Of course, the three of us protectorates must submit to the crown prince's command. I believe the court will soon appoint the crown prince as the new Prince of Yong'an."

Cao Tingjin said calmly: "If the prince is the prince's biological son, then no matter how untalented he is, I, Cao Tingjin, will definitely choose to be loyal to him.

Now, I have to consider the future of the 160,000 soldiers of the Ganyang Army."
