Balcony City is a small city at the junction of Yunzhou and Tongzhou. The barbarians launched a massive attack and the Anbei Army continued to retreat, so they temporarily stationed here, waiting for the arrival of the Zhenbei Army.

Inside the city, a spacious house has been transformed into a temporary command post, and many generals have gathered here.

"General, are we really not going to greet King Zhenbei?"

"The king of Zhenbei led the Zhenbei army to take over our army. He should go to welcome him both emotionally and logically."

"yes!"

Everyone asked.

Guan Zian, who was sitting in his seat, said coldly: "Is the war situation more important or these false flatteries?"

"Should we at least send someone there?"

Lieutenant General Zhou Qing said: "Our Anbei Army cannot resist the barbarians and has been criticized a lot outside. Why bother holding on at this time?"

"What did you say?"

Guan Zian raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Qing and said angrily: "I am still General Anbei. Doesn't it matter if it is me?"

"I don't mean this, I just..."

"Enough!"

Guan Zian calmly said: "Send the order, the entire army is reorganized and prepared for the delivery. After the arrival of the Zhenbei Army, our army will retreat to rest and recuperate..."

"General, our army can definitely cooperate with the Zhenbei Army in fighting, and..."

"Didn't you listen to what I said, General?"

"Everyone, stand down!"

Guan Zian scolded loudly, and the generals shook their heads and left helplessly.

"Bang!"

But Guan Zian grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.

His expression was extremely gloomy!

Guan Ning is coming!

Bring the Zhenbei Army to replace the Anbei Army!

shame!

What a shame!

Guan Zian subconsciously touched his chest and abdomen, and he still felt a dull pain. This was a hidden injury left after being beaten violently by Guan Ning during the investiture ceremony.

That day was originally his most glorious moment. He was awarded the title of Grand Champion, awarded the title of General Anbei, married the princess, and reached the pinnacle of his life.

But it turned out to be the darkest day!

After that day, he became the laughing stock of everyone.

He knew what others were saying about him behind his back, and he endured it. He held his breath. Guan Ning's reputation for saving the country in times of crisis was even greater. He wanted to defeat Barbarian and win, proving to everyone that he was no worse than Guan Ning, or even stronger.

!

So after he came to the north, he showed a tough attitude towards the barbarians.

In fact, the barbarians did not take the initiative to attack at that time, they just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. After all, they were bound by the armistice contract.

It was just a small fight, both sides exercised restraint, and no dispute occurred.

But after Guan Zian came to the north, he immediately sent a large army into the wilderness and wiped out a small tribe.

This was regarded as provoking trouble, and Savage used this as an excuse to directly tear up the armistice treaty, causing the war to break out!

In other words, the armistice treaty signed by himself was ruined by himself.

If that's the case, let's fight.

Guan Zian couldn't wait any longer. He urgently needed a war to prove himself.

He had learned a lot of skills from Guan Zhongshan. He was familiar with the wilderness situation and was not an armchair strategist. Moreover, he had the newly established Anbei Army!

Fight!

He is ready!

But reality slapped him hard!

In actual war, the Anbei Army was no match for the barbarian army.

Only then did he realize that he had been carried away by the eagerness to win, and had ignored an essential issue.

The Anbei Army was formed from the local garrison regular army, and was considered the elite of the original army.

But Dakang has not experienced war for a long time, and so have they. Moreover, they have never experienced fighting barbarians before, which is also a big problem.

The barbarians are quite cruel.

When fighting against Wei and Liang, both sides would have a tacit understanding to allow each other time to clean up the battlefield, that is, to collect corpses...

Even if you don't care about collecting it, the enemy will collect it for you, and they will not hurt innocent people or kill prisoners.

Barbarians are completely different.

They will kill you in the most brutal way. If killing is not enough, they will also cut off certain parts of your body, such as your ears, and string them around your waist to show your military exploits.

They will also cut off your head and make it into a Jingguan, and even pull you back to eat when the rations are short...

This is too scary.

No ordinary army has ever experienced such a battle. These cruel behaviors made the soldiers very scared, and they naturally had a sense of fear.

Morale fell into a slump, and there was great disharmony within this army, which had been patchworked when it was first established... These factors constituted the defeat of the Anbei Army!

It is also his failure!

He is very aware of the current situation. Outsiders have already scolded him, and his prestige in the Anbei Army has been completely lost.

If it weren't for His Majesty's protection, I'm afraid he would have been removed from his position long ago.

Now that Guan Ning has arrived, he has been rendered completely useless...

"Why is this happening!"

"Why is this happening!"

Guan Zian let out an unwilling growl.

"General, a secret envoy is coming to Beijing."

At this time, a person came in to report, and walked in with a man with slightly darker skin.

"Secret envoy to Beijing?"

Guan Zian was slightly startled. He knew this person, he was from the Imperial City Department, and he had also sent him His Majesty's secret decree.

"This is His Majesty's secret decree. Please be sure to destroy it after reading it."

Guan Zian took the letter and opened it, only to see what was written on it.

"The Zhenbei Army will be fully responsible for the barbarian war. If necessary, it can make some concessions in order to preserve the strength of the Anbei Army. When the chaos in the North is calmed down, or the Zhenbei Army will be wiped out, you can pay close attention to the war situation and stay vigilant at all times...

…”

"this……"

Guan Zian looked surprised. Although the secret order was cryptic, how could he not understand it.

This is about to take action against Guan Ning, Your Majesty has made up his mind!

A flash of excitement flashed in Guan Zian's eyes.

Your Majesty is using the Zhenbei Army for the last time. After the war is won, he will completely eliminate them!

I'm afraid that not only his Anbei Army, but also the imperial court will send another army...

Your Majesty is still the same Majesty.

No matter how majestic you Guan Ning is, no matter how powerful you are?

I'm the one who laughs last!

The frustration in Guan Zian's heart disappeared instantly, and he felt extremely happy...

Let you be proud for a few more days.

Maybe even if he doesn’t have the prestige, will he definitely be able to put an end to the chaos in the north once he comes?

The new Taiyang Khan of the Barbarians, Bai Buhua, is not an easy person to deal with...

Guan Zian had a sneer on his face.

"Send the order, always pay attention to the movements of the King of Zhenbei, and notify him when he is about to arrive. I will go out of the city to greet him!"

It was impossible for him to miss them when they arrived at the station, and knowing His Majesty's plan made him feel much more comfortable.

Two more days passed.

Guan Ning led an army of 50,000 people to the balcony.

Guan Zian led the main generals of the Anbei Army to greet him outside the city.

"I've met King Zhenbei!"

"I've met King Zhenbei!"

Everyone greeted him respectfully, and Guan Zian was uncharacteristically smiling.

"If the spirit of my foster father in heaven knows that you, my foster brother, have grown up to this day, I think it will be very gratifying."

He said this on purpose.

After all, in the name of outsiders, the two of them do have such a relationship.

"Adopted father? Adopted brother?"
