"yes."
With a face full of hatred, Gu Na pleaded, "Back then, my elder brother was killed by the Sunan army. Your Highness, please allow me to avenge my brother!"
Twenty years ago, in the Battle of Guixiong Pass, Xiao Yuanshan was ostensibly in charge.
However, in secret, Su Zhen led the Southern Jiangsu Army to wreak havoc behind enemy lines, killing more than 50,000 enemy soldiers and burning countless grasslands and livestock of the Northern Barbarian tribes.
If we were to name the second group the Northern Barbarians hated, besides Zhao Yunqi, it would be the Southern Jiangsu Army.
Back then, Xiao Kui, who was still a prince, was chased by Su Zhen and had to hide everywhere. He almost died on the grassland. How could he not remember this grudge?
Xiao Zhixing glanced at Gu Na, whose eyes were red, and waved his hand, "No rush. If it really is the Sunan Army, we are afraid we are no match for them. We will have to join forces with Father Khan's army. You all should be on high alert, turn offense into defense, and be wary of their attacks."
Archie carefully analyzed, "It is said that the Southern Jiangsu Army does not obey Zhao Yunqi's orders and is only loyal to the former Yin. Why are they here? If they are here to rescue the emperor, Emperor Zhao would not issue a formal decree to force them to come."
They naturally didn't know that Xiao Zhixing resembled Xiao Yan; they only knew that she was Xiao Yuanshan's daughter, so they didn't think of that.
Xiao Long frowned. "Tell Father Khan all of this."
They were waiting for news. In the late afternoon, Xiao Kui sent a letter saying that the Southern Jiangsu Army had indeed arrived. They did not come to the imperial palace, but instead marched towards Xiao Kui's main force.
Xiao Long's spies also reported this situation, which is true.
"Your Highness, I humbly request permission to join forces with the Khan's main force to encircle the Southern Jiangsu Army!" Gu Na jumped out impatiently.
Xiao Long glared at him. "Calm down. Father Khan has given me a secret order to think it over carefully."
A moment later, "he" came out and ordered, "Guna, you follow me and lead 30,000 warriors, with cloth wrapped around their hooves and their muzzles sealed, to cooperate with Father Khan in surrounding and killing the Sunan army!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" Gu Na was overjoyed and immediately rushed out of the tent to begin mustering his troops.
Archie hesitated before reminding him, "Your Highness, we only have 20,000 soldiers left here. What if they use a diversionary tactic..."
He found it strange that the Great Khan, leading an army of 150,000, was so unsure of himself that he had to send troops to deal with the Southern Jiangsu Army, which numbered only tens of thousands.
He just didn't dare to voice his thoughts.
"Hmph, my Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry can take on ten Sheng infantrymen at once. If he runs away, once we annihilate the Sunan Army and Father Khan's army arrives, where can he run to? What? You dare to doubt that we can annihilate the Sunan Army?"
"Your Highness, please calm down. I was overthinking it." Aqi hurriedly knelt down.
"Rise. You will stay and guard the camp, protecting the palace in my stead. Are you confident in your ability to do so?"
"Your Highness, thank you so much for your trust!" Aqi kowtowed deeply, overwhelmed with gratitude.
Xiao Long grunted in response, took off his sword and tossed it to him, saying, "You are a person I have personally entrusted with this important task. If anyone is disobedient, you are permitted to kill them."
"Yes, Your Highness!!"
