The weather is getting cooler, and winter in the northern border often comes a little earlier than in the Central Plains, and the soldiers even need to add an extra piece of clothing on their bodies.

This kind of weather is actually quite comfortable, neither lukewarm nor hot, and the horse can move away from the horse's hooves. Logically speaking, it should be the most intense time of the war between the two sides.

But unexpectedly, the Yan army on Wuguan and Tianlang Pass suddenly ceased to stand up on the entire line, and all the siege troops retreated and set up camps. The front-line war fell into peace.

The army stationed on the border of Northern Liang began to rest in a harmonious manner and cherished the few peaceful days.

There is only one reason for the Yan army's armistice.

The two princes who led the front line all returned to the imperial tent~

Shule Mountain, Dayan Royal Tent

There are not many people in the tent, including two princes, the patriarch of the five clans, and Xun Kongzi, the master and apprentice.

They are all Mu Yun Canglan's absolute confidant, an important minister of Dayan, and even the King of Dongting Zhou Weiran who had just escaped were not qualified to participate in this discussion.

Three days ago, Zhou Weiran and Nalan Tingye finally escaped back to the tent, met Mu Yun and Canglan immediately, and told in detail about the battle between Dongting.

As for Mu Yunyi and Mu Yunhai, they only breathed a sigh of relief when they came back, and they were still unconscious.

Xun Kongzi on the left, Mu Yun Duankang, Mu Yun Huan, Bai Li Shen;

On the right side, Shentu Longfu, Nalan Jing, Tu Danyan, Kelietutu, and Dong Eque.

Nine people, these nine people are the powerful figures in Dayan now, and are the foundation of the Yanrong clan. They are enough to determine the future direction of the entire Dayan.

They were already aware of Dongting's disastrous defeat, and they were not surprised after hearing the news. This should be the most serious defeat of Mu Yun Canglan since the founding of the country. To be precise, it was Mu Yun Canglan's most serious defeat after the rise of the grassland.

The kind that hurts the muscles and bones.

They also realized that it would be difficult to maintain an absolute advantage in combat with the Liang army in the future.

Everyone did not expect that the battle on the Dongting battlefield would be like this. It was unexpected that Yan's army was killed by their own people and Wanyan Bi turned against each other in the battle, and it was also the fuse of this great defeat.

Nalan Tingye was beaten to death by Nalan Jing last night. The Nalan tribe, who had always been as calm as a mountain, was furious and furious.

If it weren't for Nalan Tingye's suspicion and doubting this and that, the Dongting battlefield would not have ended in such a situation.

Now that Nalan Tingye has been confined to his home, Nalan Jing asked to remove all his son's official positions and let him confess that he had passed.

Fortunately, Mu Yun Canglan did not hold Nalan Tingye responsible because his younger brother decided on this matter. Could it be that Mu Yun Longyou's crime was punished?

Besides, those who should rebel will sooner or later rebel and will not be able to escape.

On the contrary, the King of Dongting was the most innocent. He was fleeing from beginning to end, helpless, and watched the great situation he created to pieces.

Mu Yunlongyou and Nalan Tingye completely bypassed him in this matter, causing him to suffer from the muteness of the coptis chinensis.

The tent was silent, and everyone could feel the anger of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Tell me, what should I do next?"

Mu Yun Canglan looked at these confidant officials coldly, and his face was extremely bad.

Shen Tulongfu stood up with a tough bullet and said:

"Your Majesty, the black-bottom silver lion flag, the yellow-bottom silver fox flag, and the yellow-bottom silver falcon flag were wiped out. In addition, the last time General Tuoba died in battle, the black-bottom silver leopard flag no longer exists.

My main force of the Eight Banners of the Great Yan has been lost more than half, and it is difficult for the elite cavalry to replenish it for a while, so I am afraid that the four banners will only be temporarily vacant.

The young and strong men from various tribes in the grassland have been almost all drawn during the recruitment of the past two years, and it is difficult to squeeze out the troops to rush to the front line.

Judging from the front-line forces alone, our army can no longer start war in Liaodong and Beiliang at the same time."

Shen Tulong's mouth was bitter and he told the truth with difficulty.

Regardless of whether you want to admit it or not, the Yan army's strength was greatly damaged after this battle, and its advantage over the Liang army was far less than that before.

And there is another thing that everyone knows very well. It is harmful to constantly draw the young and strong tribes in the grassland to fight, and it is easy to arouse resistance from the tribes.

It’s fine to win a battle, everyone is happy to share money and land, but now that people are dead, who can withstand it?

Even the leaders of the puppet tribes supported by Yan Rong began to complain privately.

This is the biggest problem that Dayan has been going on along the way. It seems extremely large, but in fact it is too scattered inside. Once it collapses, the trees will fall and the money will scatter.

This time Dongting's defeat is an example.

Mu Yun Canglan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes slowly swept across the head of the five clans, and said with an expressionless face:

"The five clans should have many private troops, right?"

Just this sentence made the heads of the five clans tremble, and their minds began to turn rapidly. Your Majesty's meaning is very obvious~

Xun Kongzi silently glanced at the five clan leaders opposite him and smiled bitterly. The army was defeated, and the family that the five clans had been hiding was still targeted by Mu Yun Canglan.

In fact, Liang Yan has been in war for so long, and the main forces on the front line are almost all the surrendered soldiers of various tribes.

Among the five clans, except for the Dong E family who suffered a serious blow, the elites of the other four clans are all there.

Only a few clan leader knew about the specific amount of troops they had to mobilize.

Mu Yun Canglan said calmly:

"The establishment of the country of Great Yan, five of us have made great contributions. I have always kept this contribution in my heart.

So whether it is forming the main force of the Eight Banners or the infantry attacking the important town of Beiliang, I have never drawn all the family private troops.

But now the situation on the front line has taken a sharp turn, and our troops in Dayan are in short supply.

The five clan leaders should move, right?"

Although Mu Yun Canglan's words were not harsh, his expression told the five clan leaders that this was by no means negotiation, but an order.

In the past, Mu Yun Canglan gave enough face to the five clans. Now it’s not that he doesn’t want to give it to him, but because of the situation, he can no longer hide it.

Sitting in the first place and the strongest among the five clans, Shen Tulong fell down and saluted, saying in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I am your Majesty's minister, and the members of the Shentu clan are also your Majesty's people. The whole country of Dayan shares honor and disgrace, and the Shentu clan has never had selfish thoughts.

Starting today, the Shentu clan will mobilize the clan, and all the elites in the clan will set sail on the front line and let His Majesty dispatch it!"

As the commander of the Yan army, the leader of the Shentu clan was naturally the first to stand up and express his opinion.

Mu Yun Canglan gave the Shentu clan supreme glory. If it was their turn to work hard, he would be afraid that the Shentu clan would no longer exist~

“Very good~”

Mu Yuncanglan nodded slightly and looked at the others and said:

"Where are you four?"

With Shen Tu Longfu taking the lead, who else dares to say that he is not a word? Several people stood up together and shouted:

"We will follow the emperor's orders!"

The happiest thing here was the old patriarch of the Dong E family. His family's private army died and his vitality was severely damaged. This order was a good thing for him.
