Both Kou Zaixiong and Jing Ling knew that this was a conspiracy of the northern barbarians, in order to isolate them and kill them all.
What makes them confused is whether the northern barbarians don't care about the army of Shanu Kingdom in the west.
By doing this, wouldn't they be handing over most of their country to others?
Although the two were confused, they took action quickly.
However, they later realized that their movement speed was not as fast as that of the northern barbarians.
At this time, the waterway armies of the three northern countries had already set off, and it was Li Chu who was leading the way.
In addition to his 20,000 troops, there were also 100,000 northern barbarian troops on the waterway.
This time, they did not seek to capture Yingcheng, but only wanted to stop the Dingbei Army in Yingcheng.
The Dingbei Army was not good at water warfare and had been passively defensive in the past.
Nowadays, if you want to break through the attack of the northern barbarians, you must take the initiative to attack, which is much more difficult than before.
"Send my order and the whole army will attack Yuanhe."
Kou Zaixiong summoned 150,000 Dingbei troops, shouted in the city, and passed on the order.
No matter what, they couldn't let the northern barbarians' plan succeed.
However, just when Kou Zaixiong issued the order, Jing Ling also sent his cronies to sneak into Eagle City secretly.
This person is none other than Guan Zheng. Last time he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of rebels and managed to break through. He passed the news to Bai Yutian and rescued Jing Ling.
"Huh? Give up the rendezvous, attack directly, and let me contain them."
"No, this is too risky. Going deep alone has always been a taboo for military strategists."
"You originally launched the attack together with our Dingbei Army. How could I let you attack on your own?"
After Kou Zaixiong read the letter, he immediately expressed his opposition.
"Marshal Kou, this is the best way at the moment."
"When it comes to taking risks, we have already taken countless risks."
"Writing in a war is a matter of keeping your head in your waistband."
Guan Zheng cupped his fists and persuaded Kou Zaixiong.
He is the deputy governor of Fenghuo Camp. After sending the letter, he has to return to Fenghuo Camp and attack with Jing Ling.
Seeing that Kou Zaixiong was unmoved, Guan Zheng sighed.
"Marshal Kou, for how long the Zhou Kingdom has been preparing for this operation and how much financial resources it has consumed, we must not return without success."
"At this time, the northern barbarians took the initiative to attack, which seemed to put us in a passive position, but in fact it also gave us an opportunity."
After hearing Guan Zheng's persuasion, Kou Zaixiong finally made a move.
But he was still worried. You must know that Jing Ling and the others faced several times the number of enemies.
Once you are surrounded, it will be difficult to escape.
"Why don't you wait for my son Kou Wang to come and attack with the Thunder Battalion led by him? In this way, the chance of victory will be greatly increased."
However, Guan Zheng shook his head.
"The place guarded by Governor Kou is the main transportation route from the Great Zhou Dynasty to Mobei and Monan. The attack of the northern barbarians must be prevented and cannot be dispatched easily."
"Marshal Kou, please promise us."
Kou Zaixiong was in hesitation at this time. He knew that this was the best solution.
Unfortunately, this is too risky.
Jing Ling is brave and resourceful, possessing both ability and political integrity. He is an absolute genius. He should not put himself in danger like this.
If something unexpected happened to Jing Ling, Kou Zaixiong didn't know how he would explain to Bai Yutian or Jing Zhao.
"Marshal Kou, please take care of yourself."
Guan Zheng sighed and said in a deep voice.
He has made up his mind, and it will remain so whether Kou Zaixiong agrees or not.
After saying that, Guan Zheng walked out of the room directly without giving Kou Zaixiong a chance to speak.
"Why."
Kou Zaixiong clenched his fists, his eyes bursting with anger.
"Okay, if you young people dare to take risks, I will give you a try."
Li Chu's 20,000-strong army plus the 100,000-strong army of the northern barbarians were both elite.
However, the Dingbei Army is also elite from top to bottom, and has experienced countless life and death tests.
How could a mere 120,000 troops stop the Dingbei Army?
On the other side, after Guan Zheng returned to Fenghuo Camp, the entire Fenghuo Camp army advanced and attacked the northern barbarians.
Both Mobei and Monan were the territory of the Zhou Kingdom. Although they were occupied by the three northern kingdoms for seven or eight years, the regional terrain changed little.
In Jingling's Fenghuo Camp, there are many people from Mobei and Monan, and they are very familiar with Mobei and Monan.
