Since defeating the Jagged Army, a large area of land in the east of Anyun has fallen into Wei Zeng's hands.
Zhang Leng knew that his strength was not strong enough, so he had been developing secretly for several years, and he had no intention of getting involved in the eastern part of Anyun.
But since defeating Du Feng and taking the southern part of Anyun into his hands, Zhang Leng's self-confidence began to expand, and he continued to create friction in the eastern part of Anyun to test Wei Zeng's reaction.
After Wei Zeng eliminated the demon sect, he originally planned to fight Zhang Leng to open the road to Kansai.
However, the Yaodong army invaded Guanbei; the Mobei Zhantu people united together and invaded the Yanbei border, causing Wei Zeng to fall into the quagmire of war.
Therefore, the plan to attack Anyun to the west has been shelved.
Now that Wei Zeng has led his army northward to wipe out the Zhantu people, the defense on the western border naturally seems empty.
Seeing an opportunity, Zhang Leng gathered his army at the border and planned to invade Yanbei.
The news of Jiang Luqing's death in battle made Zhang Leng very excited and strengthened his determination to attack Yanbei.
The enthronement ceremony was held soon, and then Zhang Leng led the elders of the Strength Sect and the assembled army to attack Yanbei in a large scale.
"Our goal this time is to seize as much land as possible while Wei Zeng's army does not return to defense.
With land and population, our strength will be stronger.
When our strength reaches the point where no one can compare, the world will naturally belong to us.
Yes.
But we still have to send an army.
Attacking in the direction of Shifeng City, it would be great if we can capture Shifeng City.
If we cannot capture Shifeng City, we can also contain Wei Zeng's army and buy more time for us to capture the land."
Zhang Leng came to Anyun.
In the east, he said to the patriarch of the Power Sect.
"Your Majesty, Wuzhuang is willing to lead people to attack Shifeng City.
When your Majesty asked me to launch an uprising in Shifeng City, it was because of my negligence that Wei Zeng took the opportunity to rise.
Now I want to personally dedicate Shifeng City to your Majesty to make up for the original uprising.
It's a mistake."
Wuzhuang immediately asked for orders.
"I can rest assured that you are doing your job.
I will give you 20,000 infantry, plus 6,000 cavalry.
Don't worry about anything else, and rush directly to the direction of Shifeng City.
Wei Zeng's main force is still in Mobei.
No one can stop you. .
You must be quick and unexpected to defeat the enemy."
Zhang Leng was very satisfied when he saw Wuzhuang personally asking for orders.
Then he handed over 20,000 elite troops to him and asked him to send troops to Shifeng City.
After Wuzhuang took the people away, Zhang Leng personally led the force of the sect to attack the lands east of Anyun and Yanbei.
The soldiers on the western border of Yanbei saw a massive attack by the Power Sect.
They immediately lit up the smoke and reported to Shifeng City, asking for support.
Wolf smoke billowed into the sky, burning from the border to Shifeng City.
When all the merchants and farmers saw the smoke, they already knew that the war was coming, so they either sold their goods and fled far away; or they stayed behind closed doors to avoid passing soldiers.
"As expected, Zhang Leng took the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
However, the Zhantu people have been defeated.
The wise brother will come back soon.
When the time comes, he will naturally be able to repel Zhang Leng.
Order the soldiers on the front line to abandon those small cities and send the main force to Gathered in Hexi and Hedong The big city, and then wait for the support of the wise brother.
As long as the big city is not lost, all the land can be recovered after Zhang Leng is defeated."
After receiving the news of the border attack, Qi Weilun organized troops to support the front line and issued orders to hold on.
Order.

"Our people also found out that the enemy's troops did not capture any land.
They rushed directly towards Shifeng City.
We don't have enough manpower to stop them.
How about withdrawing Miss Sa's troops to strengthen the defense of Shifeng City."
A civilian official reported the movements of the troops led by Wuzhuang.
"The Ding brothers are watching eagerly.
Miss Sa wants to withdraw.
Guanbei will definitely be attacked.
When the time comes, we will be fighting on both sides, and we will be in great danger.
Therefore, Miss Sa's troops cannot move.
The enemy's troops cannot Capturing any land and rushing straight to Shifeng City is just to take advantage of the emptiness in our rear.
But how could Shifeng City be captured so easily?
"Order people to recruit strong men from the surrounding areas and send more manpower to defend Shifeng City.
I will send a message to Brother Xian.
Ask Brother Xian to send Brother Gu's cavalry team.
As for Brother Xian's main army, naturally it must be properly arranged to completely defeat the enemy. ."
After Qi Weilun finished speaking, he wrote a secret letter with his own hands and sent it to Wei Zeng who was still in Mobei.
Wei Zeng was very sad because of Jiang Luqing's death.
After ordering people to clean up the Mobei grassland, he led his men and horses back slowly.
When the news came that Zhang Leng was leading an army to attack, Wei Zeng was not too surprised.
When he decided to gather more than 100,000 troops to attack Zhantu from the north, he had already predicted that Zhang Leng and the Ding brothers would definitely take action.
Just to break the situation of being surrounded by enemies and forced to defend, Wei Zeng decided to eliminate the weaker Zhantu people first.
Because whether it is Anyun or Yaodong, there are a lot of cities that need to be attacked.
Once trapped in a protracted siege, it is difficult to escape.
It is much easier to deal with the Zhantu people in Mobei.
There is no need to occupy their land, just defeat their army.
"I was originally worried about where to send troops after defeating the Zhantu people, but now I no longer have this trouble.
The careerists of the Strength Sect have long wanted to eliminate you.
They have been delaying it for three years, and it is not too late now."
Wei Zeng I thought to myself.
"This is a secret message from eldest brother from Shifeng City.
What eldest brother means is to let Cha Yi lead the cavalry to support Shifeng City and resist the enemy forces trying to attack Shifeng City.
Our large army will be divided into two groups and go south from Mobei.
Hedong, fight directly with Zhang Leng's main force, attack all the way to the land of Lao Qin, threaten the enemy's rear, and force Zhang Leng to withdraw."
Wei Zeng summoned the generals after receiving Qi Weilun's secret message.
"Mr.
Qi's plan is very good.
Firstly, it can protect Shifeng City from worries, and secondly, it can quickly repel Zhang Leng's attack.
Moreover, our losses will be very small."
Yu Chaogui agreed.
"But I don't want to just repel Zhang Leng.
I want to completely defeat Zhang Leng.
I only cooperated with these ambitious people in order to defeat the Iron-Blooded Army.
In the past few years, I haven't found an opportunity, so I have allowed them to grow bigger.
This time Since they provoked the trouble in the first place, they must pay the price," Wei Zeng said firmly.

"What does the general mean?
Does he have a better plan than Mr.
Qi?"
Yu Chaogui asked.
"I decided to lead an 80,000-strong army south to Hedong to fight Zhang Leng's main force.
This is no different from what my elder brother said.
But I decided to leave it to you to support Shifeng City."
Wei Zeng pointed at Yu Chaogui and said .
"My hands are full of infantry.
If I go too late, I'm afraid something will happen to Shifeng City.
The general's family and the main officials of Yanbei are all in Shifeng City.
Shifeng City cannot tolerate any mistakes."
Yu Chaogui said in surprise. .
"Of course I know this, so I will also ask Cha Yi's 10,000 cavalry to support Shifeng City.
They should be able to arrive in time.
As for your troops, you must cut off the retreat of the enemy's troops.
Now that they are here, Don't even think about leaving again," Wei Zeng said.
"Then what you mean is that we won't send people to attack the land of Lao Qin.
After annihilating the enemies who have penetrated deep into Yanbei, we will directly engage in a decisive battle with Zhang Leng.
This is actually okay."
Gu Cha listened to Wei Zeng's words He nodded and said.
"No.
We still need to send people to attack, but the people sent to attack are those Zhantu people who have surrendered."
Wei Zengyi gritted his teeth and said.
Gu Chayi and Yu Chaogui were very surprised when they heard Wei Zeng said that the Zhantu people should attack the land of Lao Qin.
"I don't think it's right.
They won't listen to us and let them go to war.
They probably all ran away before they reached the battlefield."
Gucha shook his head.
"But is this too risky?
Are the surrendered Zhantu people really reliable?
We killed their king and burned their grasslands.
If they betray us, it will be dangerous."
Yu Chaogui also had doubts. road.
"You don't need to believe them, you just need them to fight with you.
Select tens of thousands of people and detain their families.
Then let them attack the land of Lao Qin.
They are not going to attack the city, but to harass the enemy's rear.
"As long as the enemy's rear is unstable, we have a greater chance of winning on the front line.
If they dare to betray us, I will kill all the Zhantu people."
"Wei Zeng, do you really hate the Power Sect so much that you can't even wait a day longer?
We don't have to take this risk at all.
We can defeat the enemy in a few years if we work step by step.
If Mobei is in trouble again, we will Months of hard work have been in vain," Gu Cha advised as soon as he felt something was wrong.
"We have been waiting for so many years, and naturally we can't wait any longer.

If we can defeat Zhang Leng as soon as possible, we will naturally use all the forces we can use.
Didn't we recruit 6,000 Zhantu people in the past to resist the Iron-Blooded Army?
We can do the same now.
Yes."
Wei Zeng insisted.
"But that's different.
At that time, Beihu hated them, and they had no choice but to follow us.
Now, after so many years, they have long recognized us.
Those newly attached Zhantu people are different.
They do not recognize us.
"If tens of thousands of them gather together, there will really be trouble," Gu Chayi said anxiously.
"I know what the general means, but it really can't be like this.
Haste makes waste.
The general must be calm.
Zhang Leng is not our last enemy.
We can't take a gamble just to defeat Zhang Leng.
Kansai's The Death Sect has an army of 100,000.
If we lose this time, there really will be no chance of entering Kansai," Yu Chaogui advised.
"Don't you all agree?
Is this really not possible?
Hey, if only Jiang Luqing were better, he would definitely be able to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Since you all don't agree, then let's forget about the Zhantu people."
Wei Zeng sighed and said.
"There are many mountains in Guanxi.
To defeat the Death Cultists, we must invest a lot of troops.
It is really not worth the risk now.
General, don't worry, good flowers are not afraid of blooming late.
Sooner or later, the general will get what he wants."
Yu Chaogui said.
"I understand, let's go according to the plan and arrangement just now.
Shi Fengcheng cannot be lost, and Zhang Leng must be defeated.
I am a little tired, so let's disperse."
Wei Zeng did not want to say anything more and asked the generals to prepare for battle. , I came outside the camp alone.
Since Jiang Luqing's death, Wei Zeng has been in a bad mood.
It has been seven years since Yushan received Jiang Luqing's support.
During the seven years, it was natural for them to have feelings.
When a counselor who had been following him for seven years died, Wei Zeng felt a little empty in his heart, not because he was sad that he lost a helper in his struggle for world hegemony.
Just a little tribute as a person.
Wei Zeng remembered that since he learned that Feng Liansheng was still alive from his senior brother Chi Xuewen seven years ago, he had made up his mind to rescue her.
But now seven years have passed, and there is not even a shadow of anything.
Wei Zeng was afraid.
What if one day he really defeated the Death Sect and captured Guanxi, but his beloved was no longer there, how should he face it?
"I didn't want to pursue anything.
I just wanted to spend my life with the people closest to me.
If I could choose, I would rather give up everything now, marry a wife, provide for my mother, and then live a peaceful life.

But everything is not the same.
Yes, then I can only choose to wait for the person I should wait for, and then live my life openly.
But can I really do this now?
If the person I am waiting for is gone, then what is the meaning of my life?
Fight and kill, then continue fighting and continue killing?”
Wei Zeng was unwilling to give in.
The autumn night was very cold, but Wei Zeng's heart was even colder.
"Wei Zeng, what's wrong with you?
You were not like this before.
You have always been calm.
Even I can see that using Zhantu people is an inappropriate behavior.
Why are you so insistent?
You are whining and sighing now.
It looks like something I have never seen before," Gu Cha said as soon as he came to Wei Zeng's side.
"Good brother, let's not talk about military affairs.
I didn't think about it well just now, but now I understand it.
I just want to ask you one thing, what kind of life do you think is happiness?"
Wei Zeng asked.
"I really haven't thought about what happiness is.
It's hard for me to answer your question."
Gu Cha was at a loss when asked by Wei Zeng.
"Then when will you be happy?
Do you think it's really fun to keep fighting?"
Wei Zeng continued to ask.
"Fighting is sometimes really fun, especially when you defeat strong enemies.
But if you fight too much, it becomes boring.
But I am very happy when I see Xiu Xiu, no matter how many times I see her.
Xiu Xiu gives I gave birth to a son, and although it was annoying to cry, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw him.
I said to Wei Zeng, you should have a child.
When you have a child, let a few little ones play with it.
It’s interesting to think about it,” Gucha said with a smile.
"I have been fighting outside in the past few years and have no time.
But before coming to Mobei this time, Zhen'er had been vomiting and had other pregnancy reactions.
She must be pregnant."
Wei Zeng said.
"Congratulations to you.
But you are far behind me.
I finally have a place where I can surpass you."
Gucha said with a smile.
"Actually, you still haven't surpassed me."
Wei Zeng said with a smile.
"I haven't surpassed you in any way.
Even if your child is born now, he will be a full year later than my child.
Of course I surpass you."
Gucha argued.

"Let's not talk about this anymore.
We will go south to fight Zhang Leng tomorrow.
Let's all have a good rest.
We still have children.
For the children and the future, we must win."
Wei Zeng was in a good mood and patted Gucha. , said with a smile
