"If we allow them to completely absorb the northern border, and suddenly turn against us in the future, it will be a serious threat."
Li Jingang stroked his beard, his eyes flickering. "Hmm... So, Zhao Muyun is just going to watch us and Yin Xi fight to the death here, and then he'll reap the benefits?"
"That's right!" Mr. Feng nodded. "Our current plan is to break the deadlock with the Jin army as soon as possible."
"Either we quickly defeat Yin Xi, capture the capital, and consolidate our forces to deal with the changes in the north; or... perhaps we can try to contact Zhao Muyun secretly."
"But I heard that Yin Xi's daughter, Princess Qinghe, is engaged to Zhao Muyun. I'm afraid we're at a disadvantage."
Li Jingang's eyes flashed: "Who doesn't have a daughter? Zhao Muyun wants a woman, I will give it to him."
"However, we must first win this battle. Pass the order, and the entire army will march out tomorrow. I will fight a decisive battle with Yin Xi at the gates of the capital."
......
South of the desert, Loufan royal court,
The atmosphere in the magnificent royal tent was oppressive.
Prince Loufan's face was as gloomy as water, and the golden cup in his hand creaked as he squeezed it.
Han Yanshou narrowed his eyes, expressionless, as if he was thinking about something.
"The Daqingshan Fortress has been captured! The Shulechuan Salt Lake has been lost! Timur has suffered another crushing defeat! Yunzhou has fallen! King Zhelan is on the run!"
His voice grew colder with every word he spoke. "What a Zhao Muyun! What a General Zhenbei! Now that King Zhelan is no longer a buffer, he's heading straight for us, Mo Nan!"
Zhao Muyun and King Loufan were sworn enemies because they had poached his Murong tribe and drowned nearly 5,000 of his warriors in Weizhou.
The leaders of the various tribes under his command were discussing among themselves, most of them with fear and worry on their faces:
"Looking at his expression, could it be that his next move is to use military force against us in Mo Nan?"
"Your Majesty! The Yin people are going too far! We must gather our army and retake the pass!" A captain with a fiery temper stood up and shouted.
"No!" another elderly and prudent captain immediately objected. "Zhao Muyun's army is at its peak, and their equipment is exceptional. Even the skilled and battle-hardened Wuliangha commander-in-chief was defeated. If we rush forward, wouldn't we be courting death?"
"It's better to avoid the sharp edge for the time being and ask for help from the Chanyu..."
"Looking for help? The right wing army just suffered a defeat, and I heard that the Uriankhai Grand Commander has been stripped of his military power! And the Left Wise King is going to deal with the Koreans..."
There was a lot of noise and arguments in the tent.
King Loufan had a splitting headache.
He knew that Zhao Muyun's ambitions were not limited to Yun, Sheng and Feng states.
Zhao Muyun seemed to want to conquer all the Beidi people.
"Mr. Han, what should we do?"
Prince Loufan looked at Han Yanshou, who had been silent.
