Ren Fengrui never imagined that his threat to Feng Jiang would in turn give him a fatal blow.
It's not that Feng Jiuer and Feng Jiang are not worried about the queen's safety.
But thinking that his compromise would only put the queen in a more dangerous situation, it would be better to resolve the matter quickly.
Sure enough, just five days after the battle in Xizhong City, Fengrui's delaying troops arrived.
As soon as the enemy's delaying troops arrived, the Fengjiang troops, which had always been at an advantage, gradually weakened.
In order to give their army a chance to breathe, Feng Jiang and Feng Jiuer led the army back one county.
Fengrui's soldiers refused to give up and attacked Fengjiang's soldiers three times.
Fortunately, Feng Jiang and Feng Jiu'er chose this place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so they were not forced to retreat further.
A mountain range separated the two armies on the north and south sides, and the battle ceased again.
After completing the defensive work, the soldiers immediately set up camp to rest and recuperate.
In this battle, many soldiers were injured. Feng Jiuer and his brothers from Tianji Hall worked continuously for a whole day and night before getting a formal dinner.
After dinner, Feng Jiuer and Jian Yi went to the mountains to check the situation.
After walking around for a while, I came back and it was almost dawn.
With the support of the army led by Zhao Yusheng, Feng Jiuer finally had a peaceful sleep.
On the third day, after lunch, everyone gathered in the tent camp in Fengjiang.
"Third brother, let's talk to everyone about the situation." Feng Jiuer took a sip of hot tea and leaned on the back of the blanket.
"Yeah." Fengjiang nodded lightly and looked around at everyone.
"I received a report from spies from the capital today. About half a month ago, three teams set out from the capital."
"They are the armies led by the eldest prince Feng Jin, the second prince Feng Yan and general Han. The three armies are divided into the east, middle and southwest to provide support."
"According to information, the three teams have no less than 100,000 troops. The eldest prince Feng Jin's army has the largest number of troops, as high as 300,000."
Feng Jiuer calmed down and asked: "What are the respective directions of the three armies..."
"The second prince Feng Yan is heading west, General Han Yinghan is taking the central route, and the eldest prince Feng Jin's army is heading east." Yang Sheng responded softly.
"Miss Jiu'er, according to the spies' report, the army led by the eldest prince is either the Royal Army or the Dragon Guard Army, both of which are relatively elite troops."
"What I mean is that once the eldest prince's elite team arrives, the prince's side will definitely not be able to defend it."
"He plans to leave today and head east."
"Jiu'er, the time agreed between Lord Yue and us is almost here. Is there any news?" Feng Jiang looked at Feng Jiu'er and asked.
Feng Jiuer sat upright and nodded.
"I also received a letter from Sister Hua. They successfully crossed the river three days ago and can arrive before sunset today."
Feng Jiuer picked up the teacup, squeezed it, and raised her eyes.
"Is it still too late to go to the east?"
"Yeah." Feng Jiang nodded, "It should be too late."
"Uncle Four Emperors has long been in contact with General Shi who is stationed on the eastern border. Now the situation is critical. I want to go there in person."
"According to General Shi's wishes, when Feng Qiongcang drove him to the barren mountains and wilderness in the east, he was left with only a few thousand people."
"General Shi couldn't swallow this anger and tried every means to recruit troops. To this day, he has nearly 100,000 troops."
"But..." Feng Jiang's eyes fell on Feng Jiu'er and fell silent.
"You don't need to worry about us." Feng Jiuer pursed her lips, "As soon as Sister Hua arrives, we will immediately counterattack."
