Fan Cang's reminder made Zhu Zhen silent.

He sat down, feeling extremely depressed.

He could not refuse, let alone disobey orders. There could be no internal disagreements at this time. Even if he led the army of Beilin Province to attack quickly, it would be difficult to achieve without the response of the Wei army...

There is no way!

Zhu Zhen's passion for war quickly faded.

The opportunity is too good to miss and will never come again.

In comparison, he prefers to seize opportunities by himself rather than putting his hope on others.

It's obvious.

Now his father and Wei Jun put their hope in the army of the Western Regions.

Active and passive.

One word difference makes a huge difference.

Any chance?

He didn't know either, but now he just hoped that the Western Region army would be more powerful and cause heavy damage to Daning.

When the war situation in the northwest becomes tense, Daning will inevitably dispatch troops from the south to rescue. Only then will it be the time to truly attack.

Normally you can wait.

All Daning's troops have been transferred to the southern border. How can there be any extra troops to be transferred to the northwest? What's more, there is no news from Beiyi...

But who can explain this clearly?

He was always a little uneasy in his heart. How could Guan Ning be unprepared?

Wait!

Pray!

Zhu Zhen opened his mouth and said: "Fan Cang, Zong Wuji... you guys will discuss it and implement it according to His Majesty's combat orders."

"What about you?"

"I am going to burn incense and worship Buddha. I hope that the Western Region army will be strong and can win this war for us."

These extremely sarcastic words made everyone stunned, but they could also feel His Highness's state of mind.

Zhu Zhen shook his head and left.

He was not sure whether the Western Region army was strong or not. He only knew...if he lost this opportunity, he would really be gone...

The calm southern battlefield began to have some fluctuations, but only relatively speaking.

New tactics are still being explored.

Zhu Wen and Zhu Zhen took things for granted too much. They issued their self-righteous battle plans, but it was not easy to actually implement them.

In the end, it all turned into three words... inaction!

Didn't you ask us to conserve our troops?

Then if I don't fight the enemy, there will naturally be no casualties.

You say the enemy advances and we retreat?

Then I just take the order and retreat, what's the problem?

The essence of these sixteen words is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

But Zhu Zhen was right.

The basis of this strategy is to place hope on the Western Region Army...

Guan Ning is also waiting for military information.

Changes in the northwest battlefield will affect the entire battlefield...

Even Guan Ning felt uneasy.

The attack of the Western Region army caught Daning off guard. Fortunately, there were 100,000 new troops that had been recruited earlier, otherwise it would have been really over...

Even now I feel uneasy.

There was no preparation in advance and it was already too late to mobilize the troops.

Even if the Western Region army is stopped outside the pass, it won't work.

There are no troops stationed in the north. The attack by the Western Region army will affect the Kele tribe's resistance to the Northern Yi army. The best result is to temporarily trap them in Weizhou.

This is done to minimize the impact of the war.

Daning can be compared to a house with air leakage everywhere. It is too late to rebuild it with bricks now, but it can be covered with paper first.

That's roughly what it means.

But this is difficult to do.

Before this, there was no strong guard force in the northwest, so how could they possibly stop the Western Region army.

By the time the Anbian Army arrives, Weizhou must have fallen, and the war in the northwest is a foregone conclusion!

But what no one expected was that...the Western Region Army was actually temporarily trapped in Weizhou...

This is a miracle, and it is also a tragic history of blood and tears!

Because before the Anxi Army arrived, it was the people of Weizhou and even the entire northwest who trapped the Western Region Army in Weizhou!

When the army from the Western Regions attacks, when the war in the northwest sweeps across.

After learning about the situation, the first thing Veyzhou officials thought about was not to avoid the war and relocate, but to defend themselves against powerful enemies!

Huizhou Muma Hancheng made a quick decision.

He is well aware that the country's situation is serious, and the southern border is being invaded by enemies. If there is another chaos in the northwest, Daning will collapse if it is not careful.

He has made up his mind.

Even if everyone in Bizhou is killed, the enemy cannot be allowed to leave Bizhou!

This is cruel, but it is the best choice.

Weizhou is the most barren place in the country. It has no development itself. Even if it is completely destroyed, it will not matter, but people will die... but so what?

If you can keep the country safe, you will die a worthy death!

When the country is in trouble, we should take the lead!

All officials from the state capital to the government offices and county offices under their jurisdiction all have this determination!

Guard the border for the country and fight to the death to stop the enemy.

Officials took the lead, and their determination also inspired ordinary people.

When the war emergency regulations were issued, there was a flood of applicants!

The people all remember His Majesty's kindness.

They did not expect that His Majesty would come to the most remote Weizhou and provide relief and kindness many times.

They say that the people in the northwest are extreme, and they say that the people in Weizhou are all unruly people.

This is not correct.

In fact, they are all poor people.

Poor people don't want much, just a bowl of rice, even a bowl of porridge.

They all remembered to pay it back.

Of course, this also includes the foundation laid by Wukong’s earlier missionary work in the northwest.

In short, a battle to defend the northwest has begun!

They did not ask for troops or food from the court, everything was a spontaneous organization.

From old and young children to women and children.

Almost everyone is a soldier!

The people who were originally planning to flee and migrate did not leave either...

When word of this situation spread, even the people of Tongzhou, which is adjacent to Vezhou, responded and came one after another.

Instead of migrating, they moved towards the enemy!

They are all rebels!

Yes, not only Weizhou, but also the people of Tongzhou are all participating in this northwest defense battle!

They don't have strong bodies or bravery, but they have hot blood!

These people came to the front line under unified deployment and formed a line of defense to resist the Western Region army...

An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood.
To be continued...
