Barbican camp.

Leng Kui sat in Leng Hua’s tent. His main general’s tent had been given to the King Liang, and he was now resting with Leng Hua.

The two of them had lost their grandson and brother, and their hearts were filled with sorrow. Their dissatisfaction with Qin Canglan’s family had also reached its peak.

“Grandfather, this can’t go on. His Majesty sent Qin Canglan here to intimidate

Northern Yan, not to kill the enemy.”

Although Leng Hua was pro-war, he hoped that he would be the commander-in-chief and not Qin Canglan.

Leng Kui said, “Do you think I want to? That King Liang just had to come at this time and ruin my plans!”

King Liang was the eldest son of the emperor. Who would dare to disobey his words?

Moreover, no one knew why the King Liang suddenly came to the border. Was he under the emperor’s secret decree?

Leng Hua said, “In today’s battle with Northern Yan, Northern Yan’s combat strength was only so-so. Even without Qin Canglan, I can still beat them to a pulp!”

He didn’t even think about it. If it wasn’t for Qin Canglan scaring the soldiers of Northern Yan, how could they have shaken the morale of Northern Yan so easily?

In his heart, he would never admit it. He would only think that Noorthern Yan was weak to begin with, which made him more determined to fight.

Leng Kui glanced at him. “You’re only facing Tuoba Lie. Don’t forget that there’s still Helian Ye in Northern Yan.”

Leng Hua inadvertently agreed, “Grandfather, why do you have to boost the morale of others and lower your own prestige?”

Leng Kui said, “I’m just stating the facts. I don’t want the Leng family to become the second Wei family. Moreover, His Majesty doesn’t want a war.”

Leng Hua frowned and said, “I don’t understand. Five years ago, Northern Yan lost. Why is His Majesty the one who is afraid?”

Leng Kui paused for a moment. “Because the price is too heavy. How many warriors have died in the Wei family, and how deficient is the national treasury? His Majesty even thinks that if Qin Canglan had not been transferred away, he would have died at the hands of the Northern Yan people.”

Leng Hua said, “I don’t think so. If you win, you win. How can there be a war without paying a price? Speaking of tragic, isn’t Northern Yan even worse? His Majesty vented his anger, and that’s why he has stoked the ambition of

Northern Yan.”

Leng Kui said sternly, “Enough! His Majesty is not someone you can interfere with!”

“I realized my mistake.” Leng Hua admitted his mistake insincerely. “But Grandfather, even if His Majesty doesn’t want to fight anymore, he has already done so. There’s no turning back now that the arrow has been fired. Are we supposed to hand over this battle merit to the Protectorate?”

These words. .h.i.t Leng Kui’s Achilles’ heel.

He had been guarding the border for many years and had worked hard. In the end, wouldn’t it be too aggrieving if he gave up the credit just for a battle?

“But King Liang…”

“Grandfather, I have a plan.”

Leng Kui looked at him.

Leng Hua stood up and went outside the tent. He asked the guard a few questions and returned to his seat. He smiled at Leng Kui and said, “It’s already the middle of the night, but Su MO and Qin Su haven’t returned. They went out from the east city gate.”

“Did they go to Wan City?” Leng Kui asked.

Leng Hua said, “It doesn’t matter where they went. We can only lie that the two of them were ambushed by the Northern Yan and let Qin Canglan lead his troops to save them. Naturally, we can only take away that girl’s Crimson

Shadow Army. We can’t let Qin Canglan squander our Leng family’s forces.”

Leng Kui looked at him suspiciously. “Are you trying to…”

Leng Hua sneered, “Send a message to Tuoba Lie and tell him where Qin Canglan is. Ask him to lead his troops to surround Qin Canglan.”

Leng Kui was a little tempted.

Due to the sudden attack, the peace talks had been ruined. If he could take this opportunity to do Tuoba Lie a favor, he might be able to ease their relationship and restore the possibility of peace talks.

He convinced himself that this was for Great Zhou, not for his own selfish desires.

Leng Kui had a way to contact Tuoba Lie. He found his confidant and asked him to go to Young Feng Mountain.

He went to find Qin Canglan and told him about the “discovery” of the Leng family’s scouts outside the east city.

“Northern Yan has about 5,000 troops.”

The reason why he didn’t say much was because Qin Canglan also needed a lot of troops. If he wanted to borrow troops from him, there was no reason for him not to.

As if Qin Canglan would believe him.

He was afraid that if he led the Crimson Shadow Army out, he would be ambushed by the Northern Yan army.

However. Oin Canclan still went.

This was because if they could split a portion of Tuoba Lie’s troops, he could reduce the pressure on his precious granddaughter and Su Mo.

There were casualties in the battle during the day. There were 10,000 Crimson Shadow Troops, but there were still 9,000 combat troops left.

Qin Canglan led 9,000 soldiers out of the east gate of the barbican. Zhang Yong asked, “General, how are we going to fight tonight?”
