Tohedi hesitated for a moment and said to Duke Aissaizi, "I think we should immediately summon the generals from all the countries leading the troops into the city to discuss launching a decisive battle with the Liang State Zhenxi Army in advance."
Currently, only a part of the Cheshi army has entered the Emerald City to assist the Wensu army in defending the city. The armies of other countries in the coalition are stationed outside the city.
Duke Esaizi murmured, "It has to be this way."
Although the Zhenxi Army discovered a huge fire in the Emerald City, they did not know that the fire was burning in the largest official warehouse of the Wensu Kingdom.
However, someone soon delivered this good news to the Zhenxi Army camp.
It turned out that it was Xie Dongkui, the leader of the Green Flag Hall of the Seven Flags Sect, who brought people from the Green Flag Hall to burn down the government warehouse in the Emerald City.
"Brother Xie, I didn't expect that we would meet again today and you would give me such a big gift." Sun Hao said to Xie Dongkui excitedly.
Xie Dongkui acted a little reserved when he saw Sun Hao. After all, Sun Hao was no longer the leader of a gang in Ganyang City, but the commander-in-chief of the Liang State Zhenxi Protectorate with hundreds of thousands of elite troops under his command.
"The Grand Commander led his army to rescue the Liang people of Wensu State. We, the Green Flag Hall of the Seven Flags Gate, just did what we should do and offered a little help to the Grand Commander." Xie Dongkui said respectfully.
Sun Hao then said with a smile: "This is not a small effort. If my Zhenxi Army can defeat the coalition forces, Brother Xie will be the first to be credited.
I think since Brother Xie is here this time, he shouldn't leave. I wonder if Brother Xie is willing to join my Zhenxi Army?"
The Seven Banners Gate consists of seven halls: red, yellow, blue, green, purple, white and black, which are distributed in various countries in the Western Regions.
For example, the main power of the Blue Flag Hall is within the territory of the former Gule Kingdom, while the main power of Xie Dongkui's Green Flag Hall is spread across the territory of Wensu Kingdom.
There is a chief flag master above each of the seven halls of the Seven Flags Sect, but the current chief flag master of the Seven Flags Sect does not have much real power and does not have much control over the various halls.
After the establishment of the Zhenxi Protectorate, although the Blue Flag Hall still existed in name, its core members had been absorbed into the Zhenxi Army, leaving the Blue Flag Hall of the Seven Flags Gate with only an empty shell.
Xie Dongkui agreed to Sun Hao's offer without hesitation. He knelt on one knee and solemnly said to Sun Hao, "Xie Dongkui is willing to die for the Grand Commander!"
After Sun Hao helped Xie Dongkui up, he asked Xie Dongkui to take more than a hundred people from the Green Flag Hall and follow him first. He would reward Xie Dongkui according to his merits after the battle with the coalition forces was over.
Pang Tong, who was following Sun Hao, then asked Xie Dongkui, "Brother Xie, I wonder how you managed to leave the city after burning the granary in Emerald City?"
Although Xie Dongkui still didn't know who Pang Tong was, he knew that anyone who could follow Grand Commander Sun must be his confidant, so Xie Dongkui quickly said, "Fei Cui City was once the headquarters of the Green Flag Hall of the Seven Flags Sect. Later, because the Wensu State began to restrict the number of Liang people in Fei Cui City, the Green Flag Hall moved out of Fei Cui City.
However, the Green Flag Hall has been operating in Emerald City for many years, and they've dug three secret passages just to connect to the outside of the city. After we burned the granary this time, we relied on these secret passages to evacuate Emerald City."
When Pang Tong heard that the Green Banner Hall of the Seven Banners Sect possessed three secret passages leading to the Emerald City, he excitedly said to Sun Hao, "My lord, with these three secret passages, our Zhenxi Army's chances of victory will increase by another 10%!"
In a ducal mansion in Emerald City, generals leading troops from all the coalition countries gathered in a hall.
However, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressing. The generals of the coalition countries already knew that the food and fodder prepared by Wensu Kingdom for the coalition had been burned.
Duke Aisaizi said to everyone dejectedly, "This fire was caused by my negligence. If I had been able to control all the Liang people in Emerald City earlier, perhaps this incident would not have happened.
The remaining food reserves in Emerald City can only sustain the entire coalition for ten days, so the decisive battle with the Liang State Zhenxi Army must be brought forward."
At this time, Dagati, the general in charge of the Puwan Kingdom, spoke up: "Now, the armies of the countries in the Western Regions have gathered here in Emerald City, numbering 1.2 million.
Even if the remaining 300,000 troops were unable to arrive in time to join the battle, with such a strong force, they would be able to crush the 200,000 Liang troops.
I agree to immediately launch a decisive battle with the Liang State's Zhenxi Army. My Puwan State's 150,000-man army is willing to serve as the vanguard!"
The Parthian general Aonu followed up, saying, "I'm getting impatient waiting. It would be best if we start a war with the Liang Zhenxi Army tomorrow!"
Tuohedi, the famous general of Cheshi, also nodded. "With one million and two hundred thousand troops, our strength is six times that of Liang's Western Guard. I think it will be difficult for our coalition to lose."
After the generals of the three major powers in the Western Regions expressed their agreement to start a war with the Liang State Zhenxi Army in advance, the generals of the five major powers in the Western Regions, namely Yanzi State, Shache State, Qumo State, Yuli State, and Pilu State, also spoke out and chose to agree to have a decisive battle with the Liang State Zhenxi Army in advance.
Originally, seven major countries in the Western Regions sent troops to join the coalition forces. However, the 60,000 troops of Kangju and the 50,000 troops of Wuli have not yet arrived at the Emerald City and are still on their way.
Seeing this, the generals of the various small states in the Western Regions raised no objections. Duke Aisaizi then said loudly, "Since everyone agrees, tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack with all our forces and strive to destroy the Liang State's Western Guard Army in one battle."
On the very night when the allied generals decided to launch a decisive battle with the Zhenxi Army in advance, Duke Aisaizi was summoned into the palace by King Kemal of Wensu.
