"What youth? Your Highness the Crown Prince, what are you saying? "
A solemn voice came from the side. In the tent, the only person in Mengshe Zhao who could interject at this time was the only Great General of Mengshe Zhao, Duan Gequan.
Although Mengshe Zhao's strength was far inferior to that of the Tang dynasty or Ouzan, he was the only Great General who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Geshu Han, Huoshu Huizang, and Zhangchou Jianqiong. This was enough for Mengshe Zhao to squeeze into the ranks of the various kingdoms.
And this wasn't even mentioning that the ruler of Mengshe Zhao, Gelofeng, was a top-class expert.
This was also why the ruler of Mengshe Zhao was so ambitious and wanted to break free from the control of the Tang dynasty, even suppressing the Tang dynasty to become the hegemon of the southwest.
"The southwest only has Xianyu Zhongtong and Wang Yan, and these two can only be considered Brigadier Generals. And where did this youth come from? "
"Great General truly is a youth in his teens. He wore golden armor and pretended to be Wang Fu. Jiaosiluo and I were able to see this for ourselves. The army commanded by Wang Yan and Wang Fu was already surrounded by us and was at the end of its flight, but this brat seemed to have learned some sort of military art. Ever since he appeared, the Anxi Protectorate army seemed to have become a completely different army. It became extremely sharp and difficult to deal with! Our vanguard was already on the verge of piercing through them, but who could have expected that ten thousand of our men would be killed instead!
"It was precisely because Jiao Serro and I noticed this that we wanted to assassinate him. But we didn't know that although this brat's strength is insignificant, he's extremely crafty. Not even Jiao Serro and I were able to kill him! "
Fengjia refuted.
Although Great General Duan Gequan's reputation in the Central Plains wasn't that great and not many people knew of him, within Mengshe Zhao, his word was law. Let alone Fengjiayi's father Gelofeng, even Ouzan's Great General Huoshu Huizang dreaded him.
In the whole of Mengshe Zhao, other than his father, Gelofeng, who was the king, Huoshu Huizang had to show some respect. Only General Duan Gequan's words could make him take it seriously.
"Great General, Prime Minister, Crown Prince Fengjiayi is correct. There was indeed a very powerful young man among the Tang people. Our cavalry's charge was very powerful, but I don't know how he did it. He actually made our army fall into chaos. Our own people blocked our own people, and we couldn't attack them at all. Although I don't want to admit it, in terms of the art of war, we are indeed far inferior to that youth. "
Jiao Serro opened his mouth as he lay on the ground.
His head was pressed against the ground, and he didn't dare to move.
In the tent, upon hearing Jiao Serro's words, Huoshu Huizang and Dalun Ruozan immediately grew quiet. Jiao Serro was a general of Ouzan. The people of Ouzan were fierce and valiant, and as a result, they were also proud.
It wasn't that they wouldn't lower their heads, but that they would only lower their heads to their own people, to the people of Ouzan who had a higher status than them. And not to outsiders.
The people of Ouzan would not easily submit to outsiders, much less a general of Ouzan.
In front of so many people, Jiao Serro, one of the Five Tiger Generals, had actually personally admitted that his skill was inferior to someone else's. This wasn't something that could be easily done. This could only mean one thing: that fellow truly was very strong.
Moreover, he was far more powerful than Jiao Serro. That was why he dared to say such words in public.
On the other side, Gelofeng and Duan Gequan also fell silent.
If it could be said that Fengjiayi's side of the story was only one side of the story, then Jiao Serro's testimony was enough to prove that they were speaking the truth. On the side of the Tang dynasty, in the Annam Protectorate, there was indeed an unknown, young, but extremely powerful military strategist.
For a moment, the tent was silent. The leaders of both sides were speechless. “
"Jiao Serro, let me ask you. You said you've seen that young man. What does he look like?"
Huoshu Huizang suddenly said. A strange look flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something.
"This …"
Jiao Serro hesitated for a moment, then described Wang Chong's appearance.
"Guards! When the Tang people broke out of the encirclement yesterday, call over all the commanders in the northeast! "
Huoshu Huizang suddenly ordered.
At these words, everyone turned to look at him, especially Fengjiayi and Jiao Serro, their faces filled with amazement. Huoshu Huizang had never been the type to talk much.
Since he had suddenly done this, there had to be a reason.
"Great General, have you discovered something?"
Gelofeng looked at Huoshu Huizang. If he remembered correctly, the army led by Huoshu Huizang had first been routed in the northeast yesterday, and it was from there that Xianyu Zhongtong and the others had broken out of the encirclement.
"I don't dare to say that I've discovered anything, but I have some vague ideas."
Huoshu Huizang sternly said.
… …
A few moments later, a group of Ouzan commanders who had been guarding the northeast last night and had been responsible for sniping Xianyu Zhongtong and the others immediately filed into the tent.
"Encircling Xianyu Zhongtong and the Annam Protectorate. You are all in charge of the northeast, right?"
"Yes, milord!"
They all spoke in hushed voices.
"Tell me everything you have observed about the Tang people's commanders. Forget about Xianyu Zhongtong and the others, just talk about the unfamiliar Tang people's commanders! "
At Huoshu Huizang's words, everyone's expressions became strange.
"Great General, do you suspect that the people who routed you last night were the same people who defeated us? Also the work of that brat? "
Fengjiayi blinked.

"Whether it's true or not … we'll know once we ask."
Huoshu Huizang said.
The final result came out faster than everyone had expected. After a month of fighting in Lion City, the Ouzan commanders were now very familiar with the commanders of the Annam Protectorate.
Moreover, the observation ability of a commander was far sharper than that of an ordinary soldier.
In just a few moments, a youth who looked exactly like the one described by Jiao Serro and the others appeared in the mouths of the commanders.
… Just think about it, a group of veteran and extremely experienced generals of the Tang dynasty had a young, tender youth mixed in with them. Moreover, he was the one giving the orders. It was hard not to notice him.
"How is this possible?"
When the final answer was reached, everyone's expressions became both marvelous and strange. This was especially true for Fengjiayi and Jiao Serro. Jiao Serro, who had been lying on the ground, couldn't help but jerk his head up, his eyelids twitching.
"This is impossible!"
They had only arrived in the morning and had been punished as soon as they arrived. They only knew that Great General Huoshu Huizang's operation had failed and that Xianyu Zhongtong had succeeded in escaping.
But they had never imagined that the one who had defeated them and the Great General was the same youth!
"How could this fellow be so formidable? Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could that fellow defeat the Great General? "
When Huoshu Huizang was speaking to his subordinates, it was normally not his place to interrupt. But Fengjiayi couldn't care less. Although Huoshu Huizang couldn't compare to the Ouzan Great General We Tadra Khonglo, nor could he compare to the Tang dynasty's Wang Zhongsi or Zhang Shougui, he wasn't too far off.
This was not a matter of pure martial prowess.
No one who could reach the Imperial Great General level had relied solely on their martial prowess. Wisdom and courage were the most basic requirements. Cavalry in the hands of Huoshu Huizang and Jiao Serro would never be the same.
The cavalry led by Huoshu Huizang was an existence that could crush Zhangchou Jianqiong's infantry. If even he had been defeated by that youth, then that youth's mastery of the art of war had reached an absurd level.
No one in the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army could defeat him.
"It's not really defeat. They just used the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain."
Huoshu Huizang indifferently said, his expression extremely calm.
If he hadn't been lured away, Xianyu Zhongtong and the others would never have been able to so easily break out of the encirclement. However, even so, the ability that the other party displayed was already quite shocking.
At the very least, if he hadn't appeared in time last night, the leader of the Five Tiger Generals, Longqinba, would already be dead.
The sudden appearance of such a formidable figure on the southwestern battlefield was extremely bad news for the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army. Even people of high status like Gelofeng and Duan Gequan couldn't help but frown.
"To think that the Tang Dynasty would produce such a formidable figure, and a young one at that! This is definitely not good news for our Mengshe Zhao and Ouzan! "
For the first time, Gelofeng revealed a worried expression. In the war of the southwest, Mengshe Zhao had staked the fate of his country on the line. There was no way out. At this stage of the war, there was no room for any variables.
"I know all the famed generals, great generals, and generals of the Tang Dynasty like the back of my hand, as well as all the rising stars of the younger generation. My Imperial Palace has even set up a special archive for them. Anyone who can reach this level of mastery in the art of war is definitely no ordinary individual, but why have I never heard of such a person in the Tang Dynasty? "
"The appearance of such a person in the southwest is definitely a disaster, not a blessing. I only want to know, just what is the background of this youth? "
"Why does Your Majesty need to boost the morale of others and diminish your own? General Huoshu Huizang has already said that the opponent is only using the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Since he is using this method, he must believe that he is no match for the Great General. Otherwise, why would he abandon what is near and seek what is far away? "
A voice came from the side. Compared to his own ruler, Great General Duan Gequan's attitude was much calmer and more objective. As the only remaining Great General of Mengshe Zhao, as well as the only Great General, Duan Gequan would not underestimate his opponent before understanding the details, but he would also not pointlessly overestimate him and strike a blow to his own morale.
"The Great General speaks correctly. The Annam Protectorate is made up of infantry, with only a small number of cavalry. No matter what, he will never be able to escape. Imperial Father, Great General, Prime Minister, based on my and General Jiao Serro's personal experience, this youth will definitely be a great foe for our Mengshe Zhao and Ouzan in the future. He's so young and already so formidable. If he matures in the future, won't he become a great threat to us? "
"So no matter what, we can't let him escape!"
Fengjiayi's face was gloomy. That youth who had defeated him and Jiao Serro at the same time and had even rescued Xianyu Zhongtong and the Annam Protectorate from the hands of Ouzan Great General Huoshu Huizang, Fengjiayi's heart was seething with an intense killing intent.
Not even he himself had noticed that for the first time, he had faintly begun to envy another person.
As the Crown Prince of Mengshe Zhao, Fengjiayi had been a child of outstanding talent, and at a young age, he had been praised by the War God of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhongsi, as a future Great General.
Even in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Fengjiayi had been one of the finest geniuses. There truly weren't many people in this world worthy of his envy.
But at this moment, Fengjiayi was envious.
An even younger and more outstanding youth meant limitless prospects, as well as an endless threat to Mengshe Zhao and Ouzan. No matter what, he could not allow this youth to leave the southwest alive.
"Hahaha, in truth, there's no need to worry so much. As for that mysterious youth who defeated all of you last night, I pretty much know his background!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of hearty laughter. The silent Prime Minister of the Ouzan Ngari Royal Lineage, Dalun Ruozan, narrowed his eyes and lightly waved a feather fan in his hand.
"Buzz!"
