The sound of killing on the training ground was shocking. Rows of new recruits in Shuntian Army were training on the wide school ground with spears and big swords, led by officers. Looking at the recruits walking past him, some of them were even barefoot, most of them were wearing straw sandals, and their clothes were even tattered. Wu Xin even saw a young recruit with his butt exposed.

"There is no way!" Wu Shixiong smiled bitterly, "Actually, they gave each of them a pair of shoes, but they are used to being poor and can't bear to wear them even if they get new shoes, for fear of getting worn out. They prefer to wear straw sandals. There is really no way for military uniforms. We can't find enough cloth, so we can only do this first."

"Everything will be fine." Wu Xin murmured. "The Chu people have already obtained Baoqing Port, and the first batch of aid supplies should have arrived."

"The Chu people's things are not that easy to take. They support the king in attacking Shayang County, just to ask us to attack Qi and share the pressure for them." Wu Shixiong said.

Wu Xin nodded. "There is no free lunch in the world."

"But now that we are not going well in Shayang, will the Chu people still support us?" Wu Shixiong sighed.

"Yes, they will." Wu Xin narrowed her eyes, "or, they want to intervene in person."

Wu Shixiong changed his color: "General, this may not be a good thing for us."

"Let's watch while walking. We can only watch while walking. I hope that the king can go well in Shayang. As long as we can win Shayang, we can still have the initiative. If we fail in Shayang, we will really encounter unprecedented difficulties." Wu Xin whispered.

"General Wu, General Wu!" A loud shout came from afar. Wu Xin suddenly looked up and saw Lu Yifan running towards him in the direction he was. She suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Wu Shixiong asked, looking at Lu Yifan who was climbing to the reviewing stand.

Lu Yifan lowered his voice, but still trembled: "I lost, general, I lost."

Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Wu Xin's body suddenly became much hunched, her body shook a few times, barely stabilized her body, and whispered: "Don't stop training, continue, Shixiong, let's go back. Yifan, how many people know the news now?"

"I detained the person who came to report the news and did not let him contact outsiders." Lu Yifan said.

"Okay, you will take a team out now and block the road from Shayang County to Fenxiangguan. Anyone who escapes from Shayang County will be held first. They cannot escape to Fenxiangguan, which will disrupt the hearts of the people here."

"I understand." Lu Yifan suddenly turned around and left.

Wu Xin stood up straight, her face had returned to normal. She stood at the forefront of the reviewing stand, and waved to the enthusiastic army training below the stage with a smile. Then she turned around and hurriedly left with Wu Shixiong.

The Battle of Qianliushan came to an end with the great defeat of the Shuntian Army.

Moluo had been unable to attack Qianliushan for a long time and mobilized reinforcements from under Shayang County. However, although Qianliushan was shaky, it still stood firm. The last time he was dispatched, he was attacked by an ambush from the Taiping Army that had long been ambushed outside, and the entire army was destroyed. The counterattack was also launched in Shayang County. The empty Shayang County Camp was broken by Old Master Liu. Then Shayang County City came out in full swing and attacked the Taiping Army in front and back at the foot of Qianliu Mountain. Shuntian Army, which was attacked from both sides, was defeated. Moluo now led the remaining troops to retreat to Lu County, and barely stabilized his position.

What made Wu Xin even more sad was that Li Han was killed in battle.

This attack on Shayang not only made nothing, but also lost Bao Bufan and Li Han, two generals, were injured.

"Is the king okay?" After hearing what came to the army, Wu Xin couldn't speak for a while.

"The king was slightly injured." said the messenger.

"Even the king was injured?" Wu Shixiong exclaimed. Molo is a master at the peak of level nine. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the army, with Molo's personal cultivation alone, how could someone injure him?

"We were attacked from front and back in Qianliu Mountain, and the form was not good. In order to cover everyone's retreat, the king led his troops to cut off the rear and fought with the opponent. He was attacked by two level 9 masters of the opponent. Although he finally repelled his opponent, the king also suffered a little bit of minor injuries. It was nothing serious." The messenger said,

"What should I do now, General?" The great form reversed instantly. Wu Shixiong was a little nervous, looked at Wu Xin and asked.

Wu Xin stood up, walked to the map, looked at it for a while, suddenly turned around, looked at Wu Shixiong and said, "We are in a bad shape now. Regardless of whether Shayang County and the Taiping Army have the ability to take advantage of the victory or counterattack, I am afraid that Zhang Jian from Zhengyang County will not be able to sit still."

"Take the robbery?" Wu Shixiong said.

"Of course, this is their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Zhang Jian, who is stationed in Zhengyang, will definitely not miss this opportunity." Wu Xin punched the map and said to the envoy: "You should return to Lu County immediately and tell the king that no matter what, please hold on in Lu County for another month. No, twenty days, no, fifteen days are enough. Tell the king that you can make some illusions of counterattack, and even organize a counterattack and launch another attack on Shayang County."

"But we no longer have the power to counterattack." The messenger was greatly surprised. "Forced counterattack will only lead to greater failure."

"Tell the king, all I want is failure." Wu Xin said loudly.

"General Wu, you..." The messenger looked at Wu Xin angrily, "What do you mean?"

"Tell the king that Shayang County is no longer possible. Since the Qi people have intervened, we have been defeated again, and it is impossible to take Shayang. However, Shayang people are unable to attack Changyang County. Moreover, under the rule of Liu Laopinfu, Shayang County will never take the li in order to get the fire from the Yue court to join us. What he wants to do most is to defend his Shayang County. This time, Shayang County was also seriously injured. So what we need to guard next is not Shayang, but Zhang Jian of Zhengyang County."

"What is the general ready to do?"

Wu Xin said: "Let the king make an unwilling state, continuously counterattack, and continuous failure will make Zhang Jian confirm that we are no longer able to do so and suffer heavy losses, which will induce him to attack Changyang at the fastest speed. He definitely does not want the king to return to Changyang County. He must be thinking about attacking Changyang by taking advantage of our king's current anger and chaos. If he takes Changyang, it will be a great contribution to him."

Listening to Wu Xin's words, Wu Shixiong and the envoy looked at each other.

"Zhang Jian joined the Hu Ben Army as the deputy general, but he himself did not have enough qualifications to convince the public. This is also the purpose of the left prime minister Zhang Ning put him in Zhengyang County. He wanted him to seize the opportunity and make contributions. Hehehe, if he went to fight with Qin, with Zhang Jian's ability, he would be afraid of losing more than defeat. But in Zhang Jian's eyes, aren't we bandits the best stepping stones for him to obtain credit for the credit!" Wu Xin smiled gloomyly. "He will come, he will come impatiently."

"Defeat Zhang Jian and take advantage of the victory to attack Zhengyang County. Not only will it take Zhengyang County, but it can also alleviate the dilemma we are currently facing and make Zhengyang County unable to pose a threat to us in a short period of time. This is a solution." Wu Shixiong's eyes lit up.

"Shixiong, next, you organize the young and strong men I brought back to dress up as reinforcements and move towards Lu County continuously, creating the illusion of our support for the king." Wu Xin said: "The court's detailed work will definitely notice us. You hide the elites among these reinforcements, divide some every day, rush to Qingtong Canyon, and ambush them where."

"General, how can you be sure that Zhang Jian will definitely go to Qingtong Gorge?" Wu Shixiong was surprised.

"This is gambling!" Wu Xin gave Wu Shixiong an explanation that surprised him. "Of course, this is also based on Zhang Jian's personality. This person is eager to make contributions and to get the credit for restoring the rule of Changyang County. This is a credit for him. If the king is not successful in counterattacking in Lu County, he will definitely withdraw his troops and return to Changyang. If the king comes back, it will be difficult for him to recover Changyang County, so he will definitely come over and copy our nests as quickly as possible. And if he wants to take Changyang County City as fast as possible, going to Qingtong Gorge is his best choice."

He clenched his fists, "If Zhang Jian doesn't follow this path, then we may really have no way out, because we can't be the opponent of his Hu Ben Army in a head-on battle. So I said this was a gamble."

After saying this, Wu Xinhuo turned around and said to the envoy: "You should hurry back immediately, please believe that I can do this no matter what. We cannot be attacked on both sides. We must defeat this tiger in Changyang County to have a chance to breathe. However, they are in a disagreement with the court in Shayang County, which is not impossible to discuss."

The messenger nodded vigorously, "Okay, General Wu, I will tell the king what you said in its original form. General Wu, no matter what decision the king makes, I personally agree with your plan."

"For the Shuntian Army and for the King, we must win." Wu Xin waved her fist vigorously.

Zhengyang County, adjacent to Changyang County and Shayang County, is an important county governor for Yueguo to guard the city. Its wealth is even more than Shayang. The rebellion of Changyang County once panicked the whole Zhengyang County for a long time, but as the Shuntian Army launched an attack on Shayang, Zhang Jian, the son of the left prime minister Zhang Ning, led 5,000 Hu Ben Army to Zhengyang County, and Zhengyang County finally completely relieved.

The Hu Ben Army, the emperor's personal army, was not only in Yue Kingdom, but also in the world, and was also famous for its ultimate combat power. With their leadership, the Shuntian Army had no courage to come.
