The Sixth Prince Jin Risheng narrowed his eyes:
"National Master, could this person be the one from the battle of Liangzhou..."
"good!"
Wanyan Bi gritted his teeth and said,
"In the battle of Liangzhou, our army lost tens of thousands of casualties, all thanks to him!"
There was dead silence in the tent.
Someone couldn't help but curse:
"Those two idiots in Youzhou! What happened to their promise to cooperate from inside and outside to lead our army into the city?!"
"Qin Chong really doesn't keep his word!"
Wanyan Bi sneered:
"They are not repenting, they are already dead."
He raised his head slowly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes:
"Xia He is a man who uses his troops like a devil. He blocked the enemy in the ravine, quickly seized Youzhou, and lured and killed A Gugan... everything was linked together."
"He doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all. He looks more like..."
"Another Li Qingxuan."
As soon as this name came out, the temperature in the tent seemed to drop suddenly!
Li Qingxuan - the military god of the Great Qin, the nightmare of the Northern Barbarians for thirty years!
It was he who led the four major camps to block the border gates of the Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, he is also one of the most powerful martial saints in the world!
If the Qin Emperor had not been suspicious of him because of his great power and had not reduced his military power, how could the Northern Barbarians have established a country?
Wanyan Bi took a deep breath and suddenly started coughing violently, with a mouthful of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
He wiped it away randomly, his voice hoarse:
"Order... withdraw troops."
"What?!" The generals were in an uproar!
"National Master! Yunzhou is so close, are we just going to let it go like this?!"
Wanyan Bi raised his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot:
"How do we fight? Li Qingxuan is stationed in Yunzhou, and Xia He is guarding Youzhou! If we take another step forward, the whole army will be wiped out!"
He sat down dejectedly, muttering:
"I was finally able to outlast Li Qingxuan... but here comes Xia He..."
The curtain was suddenly lifted!
The Sixth Prince Jin Risheng stood up and smiled slightly:
"Master, take care of yourself. This battle was not without gain. After all, most of Zhao Tiangang's troops were wiped out."
"I will return to the royal court and report the battle situation to my father, the Khan."
As for Ah Gu Gan, he did not mention a word.
Anyway, this third brother was very ambitious, so if he died, then that would be it, and he would have one less competitor.
The Khan might not be that sad either.
But I'm afraid he would be furious, after all, being defeated and killed would be a great shame and humiliation.
After saying this, he turned and left, and half of the generals followed him out of the tent.
Wanyan Bi did not stop him, but just stared at the tea stain that was gradually drying up on the sand table.
"Xia He..."
"I should have paid more attention to this person."
On the other side, Jin Risheng left in a hurry and turned to instruct the people around him,
"Let the Purple King come to see me."
"yes……"
…
…
Yunzhou, Xia He’s residence.
The early summer sunshine shines on the bluestone path, and the locust trees beside the courtyard wall cast mottled shadows.
Shan Xiong ran all the way, his boots making a thumping sound on the stone road, and he shouted at the top of his voice before he even entered the door:
"Sister! Sister! Are you there?"
Shan Ling was sitting at the stone table in the yard, wiping his sword. He frowned and looked up when he heard the sound.
Seeing his brother rushing in, he couldn't help but scold him:
"Why are you panicking? You're already an adult, but you're still so irritable."
Shan Xiong panted and grinned:
"Sister, you might as well just stay here for the next few days and don't even go home!"
Shan Ling's ears burned, and just as he was about to scold him, a gentle voice came from behind him:
"General Shan is here?"
Li Huilan came from the backyard carrying a basin of freshly washed clothes, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing her slender wrists.
Her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, but a faint blue shadow could be vaguely seen under her eyes - she had not slept well in these days.
Shan Ling quickly stood up and glared at Shan Xiong:
"What nonsense!"
Li Huilan had already approached, gently holding Shan Ling's hand, her voice trembling:
"Sister Shan, is there any news about Brother He?"
She paused, her eyes slightly red.
"I have a right to know."
Shan Ling opened her mouth, not knowing how to start.
These days, she comes to Xia's house every day.
On the surface, he was chatting with Li Huilan to relieve her boredom, but in reality, he was doing so to receive military reports from the front line as soon as possible.
But the battle conditions were so dangerous, how could she dare tell the truth?
After saying that, he couldn't help but glare at Shan Xiong.
Shan Xiong touched his head awkwardly, but suddenly slapped his thigh:
"Ouch! I'm here to tell you good news, why are you guys acting like you're about to cry?"
"Good news?"
The two women said in unison.
"Xia He won a great victory in Youzhou!"
Shan Xiong was beaming with joy.
"Beheaded the Northern Barbarian General A Gugan, and annihilated 50,000 enemy troops! Now the whole Yunzhou is going crazy about it!"
"What?!"
The long sword in Shan Ling's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
She didn't bother to pick it up, and grabbed her brother's shoulders.
"Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true! The military report had just been delivered to the Governor's Office. I took a peek and ran over here - ouch!"
Shan Ling pinched him hard, and said in a tense voice:
"Tell me more!"
Li Huilan stood there in a daze, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes.
She had been trying hard not to cry these days, but now she finally let out her emotions, crying and laughing as she murmured:
"It's all right... It's all right..."
Shan Xiong rubbed his arm and grinned:
"Sister, weren't you in a hurry just now?"
"Looking for a fight!"
Shan Ling pretended to hit him, but there was a gleam in his eyes.
"Tell me quickly! How did you do it, Junior Brother?"
Shan Xiong chuckled and deliberately dragged out his tone:
“Well—”
“Bang!”
Shan Ling slapped him on the head.
