Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

Zhenbei King Hongxuan looked at Hongli and said:

"You can only survive if you follow my arrangements. There is no other way."

Hong Li responded respectfully:

"Yes, King Zhenbei! This prince will follow your arrangements."

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at Miao Sina and said:

"Miaosina! What about you? Are you willing to follow me?"

Meowsina's beautiful eyes flickered,

She showed her canine teeth and said

"The King of Zhenbei has great ambitions in his heart, so I am willing to follow him. Your Majesty, what should I do now?"

Hong Xuan looked at Miao Sina and said

"Just protect Hong Li's safety for now."

Miaosina responded respectfully:

"It's the King of Zhenbei! I obey your orders!"

"Qilin Guard!" Hongxuan called out softly.

Ten Qilin Guards came to the hall.

"Your humble servant! I pay my respects to the King of Zhenbei!" The Qilin Guard responded respectfully.

Hong Xuan said to the ten Qilin Guards:

"Take the eldest prince and Miss Miao to the Zhao residence! Send three hundred Qilin Guards to protect them!"

"Oh right! Have the craftsmen replace the signboard of the Zhao Mansion with that of the Grand Prince's Mansion!"

The ten Qilin Guards clasped their hands and responded respectfully:

"Yes! I obey your order."

Qilin Guard took Hongli and Miaosina out of the hall.

After arranging everything, Qilin Guard returned to the hall.

Hong Xuan looked at the returning Qilin Guard and said

"Gather soldiers outside the city. It's time to destroy those bandit rebels from the southern border!"

All the Qilin Guards responded respectfully:

"Yes!"

The King of Zhenbei rode a tall and majestic horse.

The shining armor made him look heroic, and his eyes were firm and sharp, revealing an awe-inspiring authority.

A team composed of a thousand Qilin Guards.

Hundreds of Qilin Guards held flags that symbolized their status and authority. The flags fluttered in the wind, making rustling sounds.

The other Qilin Guards wore heavy armor, held sharp blades, and marched in unison, demonstrating unparalleled discipline and combat effectiveness.

Under the protection of the personal guards,

The King of Zhenbei arrived outside Ezhou City. Hongxuan looked at the five military camps in front of him:

"Pass this king's order!"

"All officers, assemble. Army commanders, deputy army commanders, division commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders, assemble."

Zhenbei King Hongxuan issued an order.

At the Second Command, officers from the five field armies all gathered with their soldiers.

Quickly assembled 150,000 troops outside Ezhou City.

Hongxuan gave the order again.

"Commander, deputy commander! Division commanders, quickly assemble and come under my command!"

As soon as Hongxuan's order came down,

The commanders, deputy commanders and division commanders of the five field armies gathered in front of Hongxuan.

Hongxuan was very majestic at this time, and he looked at his subordinates with eyes like a dragon.

"Roll call of the five major field army officers!"

"The commander and deputy commander of the First Field Army of the Second Command, step out!"

The commanders of the First Field Army, Fu Jincheng and Meng Yuhuan, knelt on one knee with their hands clasped together, and saluted respectfully to the King of Zhenbei:

"The general is here!"

"Commander Fu Jincheng! Tell me the names of your six division commanders and deputy division commanders!"

"Return to the team!"

Fu Jincheng stood up and returned to his team.

"Yes!"

King Zhenbei turned his gaze towards the deputy commander Meng Yuhuan and said:

"Meng Yuhuan, deputy commander of the First Field Army, listen to my orders!"

Meng Yuhuan responded respectfully:

"The general is here!"

Zhenbei King Hongxuan took out the list of soldiers and said to Meng Yuhuan majestically:

"Report the names of the ten battalion commanders of the Second Division of the First Field Army!"

"The Second Division's First Battalion Commander Song Lingze, the Second Battalion Commander Li Anzheng, the Second Battalion Commander Lu Jianglong, the Third Battalion Commander Zeng Lei, the Fourth Battalion Commander Wei Yangxin, the Fifth Battalion Commander Leng Yuansheng!"

Deputy Commander Meng Yuhuan responded respectfully:

King Zhenbei looked at the Second Field Army Commander Jiang Yichen with satisfaction and said:

"Very good! Now get back to the team!"

Jiang Yichen responded in a loud voice:

"The general will obey the order!"

Hong Xuan looked at the deputy commander Xu Jiamu and said:

"Report the names of the ten battalion commanders of the 3rd Division of the Second Field Army!"

"Return to the team!"

He Zhili stood up and returned to his team.

King Zhenbei looked at Deputy Commander Wen Jinglan and said:

"Wen Jinglan, deputy commander of the Third Field Army, listen to my orders!"
