Liang Zixing sighed and said, "Your Highness, there are less than 9,000 soldiers left in the Shaochang Left Guard. Given the financial situation of the Shaochang Protectorate, it will be difficult to restore the Shaochang Left Guard to its full strength of 20,000 in a short period of time.
I wonder if the imperial court can provide financial support to the Shaochang Protectorate."
Fan Cheng then said, "Your Majesty, considering the size and combat power of the Zhenxi Army, even our three Protectorates combined are no match for them.
It would be best if we could double the military strength of all three of our protectorates, so that we can pose some threat to the Zhenxi Army."
Yong'an Prince Chen Su said helplessly: "The seven imperial guards that I led this time have all been severely injured.
From now on, I will do my utmost to replenish the troops of these seven towns. I fully support your three protectorates in expanding their forces, but the military expenses will need to be borne by yourselves."
After a pause, Yong'an Prince Chen Su said to Fan Cheng, "If you have the chance, please help me eliminate the Wang family of Quan'an City and take back the military power of the left and right guards of the Huaide Army."
Upon hearing this, Fan Cheng said in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, the Wang family of Quan'an City is deeply rooted in Suide County.

I am worried that if I rashly attack the Wang family of Quan'an City, I might be retaliated by the Wang family of Quan'an City."
Cao Tingjin also said: "Your Highness, Commander Fan's concerns are not without reason.
The Wang family of Quan'an City has been entrenched in Suide County for many years. If we don't take drastic measures, it will be difficult to eliminate the Wang family of Quan'an City."
Yong'an Prince Chen Su said in a sinister tone: "I must eradicate all separatist vassal states like the Wang family of Quan'an City.
I now give you three Protectorates a mission, which is to destroy the Wang family of Quan'an City at all costs.
As for what methods you use, I don't care, I only care about the final result."
Then Yongan Wang Chen Su said in a cold voice: “Zhenxi Army, you three can’t handle it, and this king will not blame you.
But if the three of you combined cannot take down a small family like the Wang family in Quan'an City, then that's a problem of ability."
