Wasteland, Western Liang Barracks.
"The Jin Emperor is attacking the Northern Underworld Kingdom in Xia Zhou!" A middle-aged man paced back and forth in the tent. He had a pair of thick black eyebrows that were almost joined together. It was obvious that he was a hot-tempered man.
"This is Mo Rongzhan." Lu Lingzhi said lightly. Qi Ruoshui had taken Ye Zhen away. Mo Rongzhan would not sit still in the Capital City. He probably wanted to flatten Western Liang.
However, he did not expect Mo Rongzhan to be in Xia Zhou instead of leading his troops to Qing Zhou.
Why did Mo Rongzhan choose to attack the Northern Underworld Kingdom? He did not want to go to Western Liang to rescue Ye Zhen, but went to Xia Zhou. Lu Lingzhi did not understand what Mo Rongzhan was trying to do.
"Wan Ziliang is on our side. Without him, we definitely can't beat Ye Chunnan," Chu Li said in a low voice. "That idiot Fan Ludo doesn't know how to fight."
"The Northern Underworld Kingdom does not only have Wan Ziliang as their general." Lu Lingzhi said lightly. "Besides, the Northern Underworld Kingdom only brought ten thousand elite soldiers to the Wasteland this time. Where do you think the Northern Underworld Kingdom's real military strength is?"
Chu Li turned to look at Lu Lingzhi. "You mean this is what Wan Ziliang expected?"
Lu Lingzhi looked outside. "Why do you think the Northern Underworld Kingdom wants to join forces with Western Liang to attack the Jin Kingdom?"
"They want to take down the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop." Chu Li said that he used to be a citizen of the Northern Underworld Kingdom and knew the ambitions of the Northern Underworld Emperor. Many years ago, he had the intention of conquering the Jin Kingdom. Now that Western Liang initiated a war, the Northern Underworld Kingdom would not be indifferent.
"Wan Ziliang has a good idea. He wants to join forces with us to delay the Jin Kingdom and let them think that the Northern Underworld Kingdom's general is in the Wasteland. If I'm not wrong, the Northern Underworld Kingdom's two hundred thousand soldiers are waiting for Mo Rongzhan." Lu Lingzhi smiled lightly.
Chu Li's eyes widened. Two hundred thousand soldiers! "The Northern Underworld Kingdom is going to attack Xia Zhou?"
Lu Lingzhi said. "Not attack Xia Zhou, but to kill Mo Rongzhan and the generals around him who are a threat to the Northern Underworld Kingdom."
"Are you talking about the people around Mo Rongzhan?" Chu Li asked.
"In the past, Mo Rongzhan was invincible on the battlefield because of these people. As long as they are by Mo Rongzhan's side, Mo Rongzhan's Jin Kingdom will not fall. Wang Cuo, Sima Jian, Cheng Zimao, Wang Qu, Tang Zhen and Jin Lou are all Mo Rongzhan's confidants." Lu Lingzhi's eyes darkened as he recalled his life on the battlefield with these people.
Chu Li laughed. "You're still talking about one person missing. And you, Lu Lingzhi, if you were in the Jin Kingdom, Mo Rongzhan would have one more general."
Lu Lingzhi looked at him coldly. "It's enough that you're here. I have to go to Donglai."
"Why are you going to Donglai?" Chu Li asked.
"Jin Lou is going to Qingzhou to wage war against Donglai. I must go to Donglai. If I can't stop Jin Lou, it will affect the Wilderness," Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice. He could not let anyone have the opportunity to take Ye Zhen away from Xiliang.
Chu Li shouted, "You have to tell the Shaman King about this.
"It'll be too late if I wait," Lu Lingzhi said. "I'll send someone to inform the Shaman King on the way."
"If we can't annihilate the Jin Kingdom this time," Chu Li looked at Lu Lingzhi seriously, "then Xiliang is finished."
Lu Lingzhi nodded. "I know."
Mo Rongzhan stood on the city wall of Xia Zhou, his sharp eyes staring ahead.
"Your Majesty, over there is Anhe City of the Northern Underworld Kingdom." Wang Cuo stood behind Mo Rongzhan, pointing at the city gate in the distance.
Anhe City was at the border of the Northern Underworld Kingdom, separated from Xia Zhou by a desert. A year ago, Xia Zhou belonged to the Northern Underworld Kingdom, but now it belonged to the Jin Kingdom.
"Wan Ziliang only has ten thousand elite soldiers in the Wilderness," Mo Rongzhan said lightly, his tone very calm.
Wang Cuo did not speak. Soft footsteps came from the stairs. It was Mo Rongzhan's other two confidants, Sima Jian and Wang Qu.
"Your Majesty." They came in front of Mo Rongzhan and bowed. "There's news from Anhe City, the Northern Underworld Kingdom has two hundred thousand soldiers coming this way."
"Two hundred thousand!" Wang Cuo shouted. "We only have fifty thousand!"
Wang Qu glared at him. "Are you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Wang Cuo shouted angrily.
"Your father is my father." Wang Qu snorted.
Mo Rongzhan's sharp gaze swept over them, and they immediately fell silent, not daring to argue.
Sima Jian whispered, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a trap by Wan Ziliang."
"I know." Mo Rongzhan's face was cold. When he knew that Wan Ziliang went to the Wilderness, he knew that this was a trap against the Jin Kingdom. If he did not bring his troops to Xia Zhou, the Northern Underworld Kingdom's two hundred thousand soldiers would have trampled Xia Zhou all the way to Sha Draw City.
He had guessed this, but he did not expect the Northern Underworld Kingdom to put all their troops here. It seemed that Beitang Yu was determined to win against the Jin Kingdom.
"What's there to be afraid of with two hundred thousand? Don't forget that we used twenty thousand soldiers to defeat their army of a hundred thousand," Wang Qu said.
Wang Cuo nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. Two hundred thousand is two hundred thousand. We may not lose."
Sima Jian asked, "Your Majesty, do you want Jin Lou to come back?"
Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "No, I want him to attack Western Liang. We only need to delay the Northern Underworld Kingdom's two hundred thousand soldiers."
As long as the two hundred thousand soldiers were delayed, the Northern Underworld Kingdom would not be able to send troops to support Western Liang. He only hoped that Ye Yiqing could rescue Ye Zhen.
"Your Majesty, why don't you return to the capital first? With us here, we will definitely think of a way to delay the Northern Underworld Kingdom's army." Wang Cuo said in a low voice.
"If I were not here, these two hundred thousand soldiers would not move." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Beitang Yu wanted to kill him.
"Your Majesty, what do we do now?" Sima Jian asked.
"General Meng has already gone everywhere to mobilize troops. We just need to delay these two hundred thousand soldiers until General Meng's reinforcements arrive." Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
Sima Jian said, "Your Majesty, this general will lead troops to attack Anhe City tomorrow."
"This time, we cannot fight the Northern Underworld Kingdom head-on." Mo Rongzhan's fingers lightly tapped on the city wall. "Sima Jian, Wang Cuo!"
"This general is here!" The two immediately cupped their hands and bowed.
Mo Rongzhan said coldly, "Each of you take five thousand elite soldiers and sneak to the rear from the north and west. Wait for the arrival of the two hundred thousand soldiers. They need a lot of rations. Think of a way to cut off their rations."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sima Jian and Wang Cuo accepted the order.
At this time, Jin Lou should have met up with Ye Yiqing in Qingzhou, but he did not know how Yao Yao was doing in Western Liang.
Huangfu Chen and Murong Ke were both in Western Liang. They should be protecting her.
His disappeared, he missed her very much.
