The news about the killing of prisoners of war in the Wuwei Army soon reached Xiao Yan's ears. When he heard that all the elite soldiers under his command had been killed, he became furious on the spot.
The Wuwei Army is his elite light armor, responsible for the imperial guards around him all year round, and can be regarded as a direct descendant of his elite.
They were originally sent out to chase Huo Qubing just for some training, but they didn't expect that this time Roubaozi would beat the dog and never come back.
"Anyone within the Three Realms who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed without mercy!"
"Damn it, Cao Ning has such a loud tone!"
"Who does he think he is? The Emperor of Heaven? Not even Pluto dares to be so arrogant."
"He is just a ferryman, but he still dares to speak nonsense. He really doesn't know the heights of the world."
The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his sleeves and said loudly: "Here, call me the left and right military guards immediately. I want to see how capable he is."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. A mere thief from Cao will not make you go into such a big fight. Our main enemy now is still the underworld. You must not let him mess up your sense of proportion."
Qiankunzi, a counselor under Xiao Yan's tent, urged: "Your Majesty, among the coalition forces, we and Beijun are currently the most powerful. If we lose part of our military strength, the Beilan family will be the only one."
"Look at Dongjun now, does he still have a place to speak within the coalition?"
"The best policy is to preserve your strength!"
What Qiankunzi said was not groundless.
It can be seen from these military decisions alone that Di Xi has lost the right to speak in the coalition.
Even his soldiers were dissatisfied with him.
Inside the Donglan Military Camp, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an undercurrent.
After listening to Qiankunzi's analysis, Xiao Yan finally calmed down.
But he was not convinced at all. After all, his elite men were inexplicably wiped out by Cao Ning. If he didn't even take any action, it would really be hard to save his face.
"What you said makes sense, but if I just let him go, people who don't know would think I'm afraid of him." Xiao Yan said angrily.
"Hey, of course we have to take revenge, but soldiers, we can't just let our family take action!"
"What do you mean?"
"hey-hey..."
Qiankunzi showed a meaningful smile and whispered: "It means that the king can encourage Dongjun and Beijun to send troops together?"
"In this way, the three families will advance and retreat together. Even if there is a loss, it will not be a loss for us as a family."
"What's more, Bei Jun still has a musketeer team in hand. If you don't use it, it will be in vain..."
Qiankunzi was halfway through speaking, but Xiao Yan could hear the charm in it.
It is nothing more than taking the opportunity to suppress Ouyang Yu, and by the way, it will have the effect of killing people with a borrowed knife.
In fact, the coalition forces appear to be monolithic on the surface, but in fact the three palace masters have their own agendas and are constantly fighting secretly in private.
Xiao Yan is naturally very satisfied with this plan. The risks are shared, which is in line with the joint strategy.
"Very good. I'm very satisfied with your plan. I'll do as you say... But how did you go about the other thing I asked you to do?" Xiao Yan said.
Qiankunzi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have already contacted the insider in Fengdu City. He will take action tonight and promise to rescue that person for you."
Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I will not treat you badly after this matter is completed."
...
On the front line of Youshou Pass, King Qin Guang looked at the military information just sent by the scouts and couldn't help but feel curious.
"It's strange, how come the Beilan, Donglan, and Western Territory thieves all sent troops to the northwest at the same time? What happened there?"
"Is it possible that the Black Flag Army broke the sky?"
"That's impossible. Even if the Black Flag Army breaks the sky, where did he get so many Hot Wheels from?"
The more King Qin Guang looked at it, the more confused he became!
Logically speaking, the two of them are still the main targets of the conquest. There is no reason to seek revenge for the 50,000-strong Wuwei army that has been completely destroyed, right?
In this case, wouldn't they face the risk of fighting on both sides?
Fan Zeng, the counselor standing in the audience, replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know. I heard that the Black Flag Army killed 20,000 surrendered soldiers in a trap, and even made some wild words."
"What nonsense?" King Qin Guang asked curiously.
Fan Zeng took a deep breath: "Anyone within the Three Realms who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed without mercy!"
"hiss..."
King Qin Guang took a deep breath: "What a big statement! When the Lord conquered the world and cleared away the dirt of the underworld for thousands of years, he never uttered such wild words. This kid... is a bit interesting!"
"This man is indeed a little arrogant. With his hundreds of thousands of black flag troops, he dares to be so arrogant. It's no wonder that Guiyu will go to war on his behalf."
At this point, Fan Zeng suddenly added with a gloomy face: "I think since this person dares to speak arrogantly, he is either an arrogant and ignorant person, or he has the appearance of a hero."
"If it's the former, it's okay. With a little comfort, I won't be unable to surrender."
"But I'm afraid it's the latter. If that happens, I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble in the future!"
"I think I have to guard against this person right now, and even put some pressure on him appropriately, otherwise I'm worried that he will become a bigger trouble than the ghost domain rebels in the future."
"Bigger trouble?"
Fan Zeng's words made many people present frown.
They originally thought they had gained an extra ally, but now after such analysis, they feel like they are feeding a tiger.
It's no wonder, mainly because Cao Ning's words shocked not only the ghost realm, but also the underworld.
Judging from the meaning of his words, he not only regarded the underworld as his own property, but also included the declining world of gods.
How could a person with such ambition be content to be inferior to others?
"What Brother Zeng said is absolutely true. This person is definitely not an ordinary person. If he continues to be outside, there is no guarantee that he will not change over time."
"Although this is a good thing, if we put pressure on him now, wouldn't it be the Ghost Realm that would be happy? They are eager for us to fight to the death with the Black Flag Army."
"We have to find a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to allow him to continue to grow bigger, but also to make full use of them."
"Yes, yes, everyone, don't forget, our main enemy now is the Ghost Domain."
Facing the questions raised by Fan Zeng, the generals and counselors present expressed their opinions one after another.
At the end of the discussion, the ball was kicked to King Qin Guang's feet again.
King Qin Guang meditated for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Let's put this matter down for now. Regardless of what he said, our front line is tight now and we can no longer use too much force to fight. It is a good thing to have the Black Flag Army to support us.
.”
"As for how to arrange this matter, I will write a letter and give it to the Lord, and let her decide!"
"In addition, since Guiyu has mobilized part of its military force to encircle and suppress the Black Flag Army, we naturally cannot remain idle, otherwise we will really treat our main force as our stepmother."
"No matter how big a trap the Black Flag Army creates, my underworld will definitely help."
