"As long as we send scouts to report the news in advance and let the Mingzhou army come to support us, the original fifteen-day journey can be shortened by half! At that time, we will have nothing to worry about!"

He paused, glanced at everyone, and continued:

"But if we stay here to stop the Northern Barbarian Army, the disparity in strength will make our chances of winning slim."

"If we fail, we won't even have the chance to retreat. We will be annihilated! Everyone, are you willing to die in vain?"

Zhao Tiangang's words shook some generals.

They looked at each other and talked in low voices.

After all, no one wants to die here.

However, Zhu Wei and Liu Rushuang were furious when they heard this.

Zhu Yu had a hot temper and could no longer hold back. She stepped in front of Zhao Tiangang and shouted angrily:

"Zhao Tiangang! As the commander-in-chief, you deserted the battlefield and wanted us to stay and die? What a bullshit decision!"

Before she finished her words, she punched Zhao Tiangang in the face.

Zhao Tiangang was caught off guard and was knocked back by the punch, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, the generals of the vassal state behind him immediately drew their swords, stepped forward, and glared at him.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

"Enough!" Xia He shouted coldly, his voice shocking everyone like thunder.

He walked between the two groups of people, glanced at Zhao Tiangang and Zhu Yi with a cold gaze, and said indifferently:

"Sister, let them go."

"Since General Zhao has decided to go to Mingzhou, there is no need for us to keep him here."

"snort!"

Zhao Tiangang covered his bleeding mouth and led his men away in embarrassment.

"Brother He, are you really going to let them go?"

"Leave us here to guard, why?"

"You're rebelling, Brother He!"

"From now on, we will be the Xia family army!"

Xia He paused, glanced at everyone, and shook his head:

"It's not to cover their retreat."

"There is a flat area on the way to Mingzhou. If there are no mountains to rely on, once we are chased by cavalry, even if there are only 5,000 people, it will be enough to wipe out the 20,000 remaining soldiers!"

"So, staying here to stop the barbarian army is the only chance of survival!"

"this……"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Xia He's analysis was well-reasoned and forced them to rethink the current situation.

But even so, we have little chance of winning as the enemy outnumbers us.

Xia He pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of someone.

He turned around and said to everyone, "Please be patient, I will be back soon."

Having said that, he walked straight towards the tent where the prisoners were held.

Inside the tent, Su Changfeng was tied up and sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.

Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Xia He walking in. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Why, General Xia is here to take my life?"

Xia He shook his head and said calmly: "Su Changfeng, I'm here to discuss a deal with you."

Su Changfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile: "Oh? What deal?"

"Did Wanyan Bi promise you that he would help you capture Youzhou City, destroy the two great families, and avenge your father?"

"Then did you know that the Xu and Qu families also joined the Northern Barbarians?"

"This time the imperial court sent troops here not only to destroy the White Robe Army, but also to attack Youzhou, so actually you shouldn't have stopped us from the beginning!"

The rebellion of the White Robe Army was originally planned by Su Changfeng.

The Su family’s goal is very clear - to destroy the two major families in Youzhou and avenge their family.

As for those sects that were won over, they did so for the Northern Barbarians' method of worshipping gods, hoping to use it to increase their strength and restore the glory of their sects.

However, now that most of the White Robe Army has been killed, the Northern Barbarian Army still attacks as planned.

It seems that he will still fulfill his promise and capture Youzhou.

But Xia He knew very well that things were far from as simple as they seemed.

"Su Changfeng, do you think the Northern Barbarian Army is really here to help you?"

"The real purpose of the Northern Barbarian Army is not just Youzhou, but to destroy the main force of the Qin Dynasty and take over the Central Plains! You, the White Robe Army, are just a pawn in their plan."

When Su Changfeng heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked incredulous.

Xia He sneered and continued:

"The Northern Barbarians are deceiving both sides, and are asking your White Robe Army to block the imperial army, so that they can't reinforce Youzhou."

"But in fact, Youzhou had already rebelled, and the Youzhou troops were originally here to attack Youzhou."

Su Changfeng is actually not stupid.

But how could he know about the struggles in the court?

This is nothing more than a lack of information.

At this moment, he had already believed Xia He's words to some extent, and his face turned slightly pale.

Seeing this, Xia He softened his tone:

"Su Changfeng, you underestimated the cunning of the Northern Barbarians and overestimated their integrity."

“The situation is critical now. If you still want to avenge the Su family, you can only cooperate with me.”

Su Changfeng raised his head:

"Cooperation? Barbarians can't be trusted, but you can? Why should I trust you?"

Xia He said calmly:

"I came here this time because I know you still have some remnants."

"As long as you gather all the forces that can resist and supply the army with food and grass, we can stop the Northern Barbarian Army together."

"As a reward, I promise you that once we defeat the Northern Barbarian Army, I will personally lead the troops to pacify Youzhou City, destroy the two great families, and avenge your Su family!"

Su Changfeng was silent for a moment, his eyes full of doubt:

"Why should I trust you to keep your promise?"

Xia He didn't say much, but waved his hand.

Soon, a man tied up was brought up.

Xia He pointed at the man and said:
