As the wild geese flew south together, Zhao Pingshan's sharp gaze passed through the clouds and landed on the towering mountains that fit the sky.
A strange thought gradually emerged in his mind, making ripples in circles. The Dragon and Tiger Cavalry were the elite of the Cangxi Yin clan, and they were a golden sign in the sky.
Often just by waving the military flag, any enemy will be routed thousands of miles away, and it can be said that every battle is victorious.
However, just the day before yesterday, on the Makino beach less than seventy miles away from the military camp, all of this legendary cavalry was buried in the bottomless swamp, as if they had never existed.
When he first heard the news, Zhao Pingshan was stunned. Even after two or three days and nights, he still couldn't believe it when he looked in the direction of the Makino tidal flat. He always felt that time and space were wrong.
"Eldest brother."
"explain."
"Really..." Zhao Hongying pondered for a long time, then spoke with difficulty, "Really we met Chen Tian in arms?" "The matter has come to this, is there any way to turn back?" Zhao Pingshan withdrew his gaze and looked at his brothers behind him, "
As generals, you and I have the responsibility to defend our territory. Chentian came to the northern region of Cangxi and invaded the area like a demon from outside the territory. We can only meet each other in war.
That’s all.”
"But..." Zhao Hongying hesitated.
The eldest brother is like a father. He has been taken care of by Zhao Pingshan since he was a child. Whether he is studying or practicing martial arts, he will always be Zhao Pingshan's staunchest supporter.
Zhao Pingshan, a talented young man, also showed extraordinary talent far beyond his peers, which made Zhao Hongying follow him closely and treat him like heaven.
But in the face of the combat power displayed by Chen Tian's troops on the Makino tidal flats, Zhao Hongying finally questioned that his own Xuanjia Anvil Battalion was certainly no match for the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, and Chen Tian's Yongtai Army was far superior.
So taking the initiative this time, wouldn't it be asking for death?
Zhao Hongying knew for sure that the Yongtai Army would suffer heavy losses after the fierce battle with the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, and now was indeed the best time.
But frightened by the majestic spiritual power fluctuations in the sky above Makino at that time, and the real will to fight, even Zhao Hongying, who had never been defeated in a hundred battles, was still timid.
The thirty-foot-high Wangcang soldiers, the sword energy that stirred the sky, and the roar of the holy beast that shook the universe all left an indelible shadow on him.
"There's nothing to worry about." Zhao Pingshan looked indifferent and put his right hand on Zhao Hongying's shoulder, "Chen Tian is indeed devoted to the people, but he did so at the cost of killing aristocratic families."
"However, looking at the world, who will ultimately bear the important task of clarifying Yuyu? And who will provide the monks to rid the world of evil?"
"Aren't there thousands of aristocratic families like our Linjiang Zhao family?"
"So Chen Tian is destined not to go far, and we are destined to meet him in battle. If Gusu City falls, Linjiang City will be the first to bear the brunt."
Having said this, Zhao Pingshan's tone softened a lot, and he said slowly:
"If you don't seek the welfare of the people in the world, you should also think about Linjiang City behind us. The beautiful scenery of Luosu River cannot be trampled by Chen Tian."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongying was silent for a long time. Finally, he swallowed back his words of advice and agreed to take the initiative to attack Muye Wubao.
But a fight is a fight.
Chen Tian had previously personally led a team to visit the military stronghold of Xuanjia Zhanzi Camp and presented many generous gifts. The biggest conflict was limited to the fighting generals in front of the formation.
Having been with him for more than ten days, it was more or less an old relationship that was hard to explain, and now that he suddenly met with a sword, it actually made Zhao Hongying a little unnatural.
He told Zhao Pingshan about his feelings, which caused Zhao Pingshan to express his heartfelt emotion:
"If we weren't each our own masters, Chen Tian would be considered a gentleman worthy of close friendship. It's a pity, a pity."
"I heard that the naval commander of Liubo City, Han Yuankai, made a big fuss based on this and accused his headquarters of collaborating with the enemy, but he was eventually suppressed by the military advisor Yin Chou." After Zhao Hongying finished speaking, he asked doubtfully, "Does the eldest brother have a relationship with the military advisor?
"
"No, not at all." Zhao Pingshan said firmly, "Yin Chou came from a poor family, and I never had any interaction with him before he took up a position under coach Yin Jianyuan."
"Then why did he speak out for justice and stand up for the headquarters?" Zhao Hongying was even more confused. Zhao Pingshan smiled slightly: "Yin Chou is the military counselor and has a smart mind. Of course, I can see that Chen Tian has won over the headquarters before, but I will take all Chen Tian's documents
Submitting it intact, he could naturally see that Han Yuankai intended to slander his headquarters as a collaborator.
Already."
"This Military Counselor has a keen eye for understanding people. After this battle, let us express our gratitude to him on behalf of Linjiang City." Zhao Hongying nodded.
Strategists who strategize are very common, but counselors who have insight into people's hearts are rare. Previously, Zhao Yutang, his elder brother in the family, also aspired to become a military counselor, but throughout his life, he did not gain recognition from the outside world.
Zhao Yutang, who was an armchair strategist, eventually died due to his arrogant temper. He failed to attack Xieyue Valley on a rainy night, but was surrounded and killed in the forest by Yanshan Fan Changxiang.

"Brother, can three Zhao Yutangs be worth one Yinchi?"
"Zhao Yutang? He is ashamed to be compared with Yin Cho. It is estimated that only Pang Xingyun of the Yongtai Army can compete with Yin Cho." Zhao Pingshan concluded without hesitation, but asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Yin Fei led the dragon and tiger cavalry to ambush Chen Tian but failed. Instead, the entire army was wiped out. I'm worried that Pang Xingyun will advise Chen Tian and cheat again." Zhao Hongying's face was full of solemnity.
Zhao Pingshan waved his hand: "If you use the counter-ambush method once, it won't be effective the second time. You don't have to worry."
"not to mention."
"This headquarters' attack is a frontal attack on Muye Wubao. It is considered a battle of annihilation. The competition is about bravery and blood. All strategies will be useless."
"Then I feel more relieved." Zhao Hongying felt relieved, "When will the headquarters be dispatched?"
Zhao Pingshan thought for a while and asked: "Are all the siege equipment ready? Especially the rams. Without more than a hundred of them, we will definitely not be able to take down the fort."
"Thirty percent of the craftsmen in Gusu City are at the headquarters and are working on it overnight. The work is expected to be completed tomorrow. We have more than 200 siege vehicles, which are completely sufficient." Zhao Hongying reported truthfully.
"Very good, we will mobilize the troops and set off tomorrow." Zhao Pingshan nodded slightly and suddenly said, "Han Yuankai is also in this operation, right? Where is his naval fleet?"
Zhao Hongying handed over the document briefing: "There was news two hours ago that there was a sudden abnormal noise coming from the water, like thunder on the ground. He mobilized troops to investigate."
"Even if there is a strange noise, it won't call the whole army, right?" Zhao Pingshan frowned and curled his lips and said, "There is no need to count on him. The navy under Chen Tian is all a troop carrier and has no fighting power. In the end, it will be
We have to rely on our headquarters to attack the city."
"As ordered." Zhao Hongying clasped his fists and saluted.
Within half a quarter of an hour, more than 15,000 people in Xuanjia Anzi Camp were all informed of the order to attack Muye Wubao tomorrow.
Starting from tonight's supper, the three armies are not allowed to drink alcohol, go out privately, and are not allowed to send letters to the outside world.
These heavily armored soldiers were all elite disciples of Linjiang City, and Zhao Pingshan's strict military management meant that the ban was quickly and completely implemented. From the cooks to the sentries, everyone was preparing for tomorrow's siege.
The storm was about to come, and the wind filled the building. A sense of warlike readiness permeated the sky above Makino.
