Yuan Zuozong joked, "The real mess is a fire in the backyard if you're not careful. If I remember correctly, Second Commandery Princess has never been kind to the Emperor of West Chu. Moreover, your two fathers-in-law are not easy to deal with. Do you know about the Princess of Beiliang? "
Hsu Fengnian was silent. He touched his forehead and kept silent for a moment. Finally, he said, "I have never hesitated on this matter."
Xu Yanbing nodded, "That's right."
Yuan Zuozong suddenly said, "Xie Xibian is also in the army. If we can get his help, our Beiliang Frontier Army will be like a tiger with wings. No matter if we put him in Liangzhou or Liuzhou, he can be an army of tens of thousands."
Hsu Fengnian smiled, "There can't be two tigers in one mountain. There can't be two Bodhisattvas in one temple. In case Kou Jianghuai feels that I don't trust him, even if Xie Xibian wants to join the army, I won't put him in Liuzhou. Moreover, Xie Xibian is not familiar with the affairs of the army. Why don't we put him in Liuzhou first?"
Yuan Zuozong shook his head, "I, Yuan Zuozong, will use Xie Xibian alone. It's better to use Xie Xibian in Liangzhou. He and Kou Jianghuai are the top military geniuses in West Chu. After a series of battles in Guangling, they can be independent. "
Both of them had their own ideas when it came to using troops. It seemed that they were both 'abandoning the main course for the strange', but in fact, they were very different. When Kou Jianghuai used troops, he was good at abandoning the city and often found a way to survive. Relying on his erratic deployment of troops, he was able to win a battle where the overall military strength was inferior, slowly nibbling away at the enemy and suddenly gaining momentum. Back then, on the eastern front battlefield of Guangling Road, he had caused Zhao Yi's army to lose inexplicably. They always felt that Kou Jianghuai's army was pressuring the border in every battle. Although Xie Xi Bian's use of troops was unexpected and extremely dangerous, in fact, Xie Xi Bian was more inclined to be open and aboveboard, striving to make the final decision. Therefore, they needed Kou Jianghuai's' gentleness' in the Liuzhou battlefield, and Xie Xibian's' strength 'in the Liangzhou battlefield. Right now outside the Liangzhou Pass, after the Left and Right Cavalry were transferred, their vitality has been damaged. Why don't we give Xie Xi Bian to He Zhonghu or Zhou Kang? It can also be considered a compensation. As for the official position, first, it will depend on Wangye's boldness, second, it will depend on Xie Xi Bian's confidence. "
Hsu Fengnian asked in a low voice, "Did Brother Yuan help to lay the groundwork?"
Yuan Zuozong squinted his eyes and smiled, "Your Highness is more skilled than me in buying people's hearts."
Xu Fengnian remembered Xie Xibian's sorrowful face in the team and muttered angrily, "Isn't it because you're afraid that you'll be snubbed?"
Although he was nagging, Hsu Fengnian still turned his horse around and rode in the opposite direction of the army.
After the young vassal left, Yuan Zuozong curiously asked, "How is Confucian Saint Cao Changqing's cultivation after he turned to Hegemonic Path?"
Xu Yanbing said in a deep voice, "Among the four martial arts experts in the world, Tuoba Bodhisattva already has a gap with three of them. If Wangye, Cao Changqing, and Đồng Thái fight with each other, I'm afraid they won't be able to determine the winner, only life and death. However, if it's life and death, I guess the three of them will be in a cycle. Wangye will defeat Đồng Thái, Đồng Thái will defeat Cao Changqing, and Cao Changqing will defeat Wangye. Of course, if Tuoba Bodhisattva can find a suitable weapon, he can immediately step into the Celestial Being realm. As for the others, I only suspect that Gu Jiantang has a trump card that can't be underestimated. Well, there are two others who also have a chance. One is the one called White Fox Face by Wangye, and the other is the missing Guanyin Sect's Tantai Pingjing. "
Yuan Zuozong smiled and asked, "What about you and Chen Zhibao?"
Xu Yanbing said indifferently, "It's not worth mentioning."
Yuan Zuozong, who knew Xu Yanbing's terrifying strength, frowned and asked, "Why is that?"
Xu Yanbing smiled and said, "After fighting to the death, those who survive will be ordinary Celestial Being experts at most. What more do you need to say?"
Yuan Zuozong was speechless.

Among the mighty Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, the five hundred riders of West Chu seemed out of place. It was not only the difference in physique between the north and the south, but also the difference in momentum.
Hsu Fengnian dismounted and led the horse to the vicinity of the five hundred people. Facing the northwest vassal king who was entangled with the fate of Da Chu, some looked unfriendly, some looked apathetic, and some looked hateful. As for those who looked curious and longing, they were a negligible minority. Hsu Fengnian came to the side of Jiang Ni, who was carrying a sword and wearing armor. She had been avoiding him recently. She was not even close to the officials of West Chu who continued to call her Her Majesty. Today, Jiang Ni and more than a dozen women of West Chu families were together. They followed the Beiliang cavalry all the way to the north. All the women looked after each other. Most of them thought that entering the Beiliang army was tantamount to entering the tiger's mouth. They were not without all kinds of worries, especially those who were used to seeing all kinds of banquets in Guangling since childhood. They were used to seeing romantic and talkative scholars. Suddenly seeing so many armored and silent Beiliang cavalry, as weak women, how could they not be worried about their future? Only when Her Majesty arrived on her sword and saw the young vassal king whose name shook the world with their own eyes did they relax slightly. They followed the army north for half a day and found that the valiant Beiliang cavalry did not make any trouble, especially when the King of Beiliang took extra care of the five hundred people of Da Chu. They began to smile intermittently. Occasionally, when the army stopped by the river, they could not help but laugh and play. They also did a good job of washing the horses' noses, brushing their backs, and feeding them fine grain.
Hsu Fengnian walked to the willow tree beside the official road. He did not walk directly into the shade of the tree. He was still seven or eight steps away from Jiang Ni and the young women of the wealthy families. Without waiting for Hsu Fengnian to speak, four or five young men with blades and swords at their waists quickly walked over. Their boots were covered in yellow mud. They were no longer as handsome as they were in the past. These young men did not speak. They only stared at Hsu Fengnian with dark expressions.
Hsu Fengnian looked at Jiang Ni and said softly, "Cao Changqing will arrive outside Great Peace City soon. Do you want to take one last look? I can accompany him. "
One of them pressed down on the sword that he was still unwilling to take off. With a face full of grief and anger, he said, "Hsu Fengnian, are you going to stop the Minister from entering the city?! Are you going to be a guard dog for the Zhao family of Li Yang?! "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "I am not going to go that far."
In the distance, a group of cavalry from the Phoenix Battalion glared at them. The madman Hong Shuwen stood with his blade in his arms, his eyes fierce.
Another person said angrily, "I, Da Chu Minister Ling, do not need you, Hsu Fengnian, to send him off!"
Hsu Fengnian said warmly, "There are some things that you do not have the right to say."
Jiang Ni finally lowered her head and said, "Chess Waiting for the Imperial Decree. Uncle said that the farewell in the capital was a farewell. He did not allow me to go north."
Hsu Fengnian said calmly, "Don't listen to him. Since you have already left Guangling Path, follow your heart. If you want to see Cao Changqing, then go see him. I will accompany you."
She raised her head. Her eyes were hazy with tears. "Can I?"
Hsu Fengnian's eyes were determined. He smiled slightly and said, "With me here, there is nothing in the world that is impossible."
Before the students of West Chu under the willow tree could stop them, the women who had heard those words blushed. Their eyes lit up and they all spoke up. All of them tried to persuade the Emperor and the King of Beiliang to go north to Great An City.
Not far away, Xie Xibian was helpless. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Fine, they had not even reached Beiliang and there was already internal conflict.
Jiang Ni took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.
Then.
Then she flew away on her sword … …
Seeing the young King's defeated face, almost all the women nearby covered their mouths and laughed. Hong Shuwen and the Phoenix Battalion also had a hard time holding back their laughter.
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and glared at Hong Shuwen and the others. The latter quickly pretended that nothing had happened and looked as if they deserved a beating.
Xu Fengnian rose from the ground, like a white rainbow rising from the ground.
The people on the ground, whether it was the Beiliang cavalry or the West Chu refugees, were all dazzled.
