"But there is one thing. The people living around Changhe City must be evacuated now and all of them must retreat to Changhe City." Ning Quan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I will finally understand."

Xiang Yu responded, ending the communication.

"Everyone, trouble has arrived. General Xiang Yu just sent a message that the Arabs have also sent troops, and their target is our Beiting."

Ning Quan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"What? The Arabs are also sending troops?"

"Didn't they just finish the war with Persia?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"Everyone, it's useless to discuss why the Arabs sent troops. Let's study how to respond." Ning Quan said seriously.

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the only other option now is to concentrate our forces to eliminate one of the groups first, and then focus on dealing with the other group."

After a long time, Li Jing said seriously.

"Ok!"

Everyone agreed with Li Jing's point of view.

"Well, I share the same opinion, but the question now is, should we eliminate the Arabs or the Xiongnu first?" Ning Quan frowned.

"Your Highness, I think we should eliminate the Arabs first." Li Jing said without hesitation.

"I agree. The Arab army is obviously weaker than the Xiongnu. We should destroy the Arab army first." Li Cunxiao agreed.

"But the Arabs have a lot of troops, a full 120,000. Our army only has 100,000 soldiers in total. We are not superior in terms of manpower, and we have to divide our troops to garrison."

Zhang Liao said worriedly.

"Your Highness, military strength is not the decisive factor. I only need 70,000 soldiers and horses." Li Jing said confidently.

"Seventy thousand soldiers?"

"How long?" Ning Quan asked.

"I dare not say for sure. It may take one month or two months," Li Jing replied.

"No, it's too long."

"If I give you 90,000 people, how long will it take?"

Ning Quan continued to ask.

"Ninety thousand soldiers and horses?" Li Jing asked in surprise.

"What? Is it not possible?" Ning Quan asked.

"Your Highness, if you have 90,000 troops, I can guarantee that the problem will be solved within a month."

"But our army has a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses. If I take away 90,000 soldiers and horses, Hulan will only have 10,000 soldiers and horses left. How can we resist the Hun army?" Li Jing asked.

"Don't worry about this. I am absolutely sure that I can defend Hulan." Ning Quan said confidently.

"this?"

Li Jing hesitated. He knew where the prince's confidence came from. Of course, it was the powerful weapons in his hands.

But apart from seeing the power of the Barrett, Li Jing had never seen the other so-called killer weapons with his own eyes. He didn't know how powerful they were, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Prime Minister, what do you mean?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jing looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.

"Since Your Highness says so, then let's follow His Highness's wishes."

"It's not a big problem to have 10,000 soldiers guarding Hulan. Besides, if necessary, doesn't Your Highness have heavy cavalry and auxiliary troops available?"

Zhuge Liang thought about it and finally said.

"Ok."

"In that case, let's follow your Highness's arrangements." Li Jing nodded.

"Well, that's right, you don't have to worry about me at all."

"Would this king dare to joke with his own life?"

"Okay, now that we've made up our minds, let's discuss the details."

"Destroying the Arabs is not a problem. The key is how to eat up all the 200,000 Xiongnu troops." Ning Quan said with a smile.

"I will obey your orders!"

Li Jing, Zhuge Liang and others said in unison.

Then, everyone began to discuss the battle plan.

An hour later, the battle plan was finalized.

The dominant policy was to first destroy the Arabs and then the Xiongnu.

In order to complete this plan, Ning Quan mobilized almost all of his troops, leaving only 10,000 infantrymen to defend Hulun City.

All the remaining troops were handed over to Li Jing, who went to Changhe City to seek a decisive battle with the Arabs.

Ning Quan was responsible for staying in Hulan to resist the Hun army.

Once the Arabs are defeated, Li Jing will turn around and return to destroy the Xiongnu with all his strength.

In order to ensure Ningquan's safety, Huo Qubing's troops who were withdrawn later would also stay in Hulan and be responsible for supporting the periphery.

At the same time, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Yue Fei, Li Yuanba also stayed in Hulun, including Zhuge Liang.

Everything was ready the next morning.

Li Jing led the army towards Changhe City.

Ning Quan also began to prepare for war and stepped up the storage of boulders, wood, etc.

At the same time, Ning Quan ordered all the surrounding people to evacuate to Hulan.

.........

The capital of the Dashi Empire.

Oldenburg.

This is where the Imperial Palace is located.

King Philip III of the Arab Empire sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy expression.

There were four people standing beside him.

He was the governor of the three major provinces in the Arab Empire and the commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Your Majesty, Governor Hassan invaded Daqian without authorization. This behavior is extremely foolish and very dangerous. I suggest that he be recalled immediately." A provincial deputy governor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have just reached a ceasefire with Persia. Now is a good opportunity to recuperate. Why should we take the risk of entering Daqian?" another person echoed.

"Humph, Hassan did this because he didn't gain anything from the war with Persia and feels like he's been at a disadvantage."

The Governor of Eastern Province, Arud, sneered.

"Governor Adlu is right. Hassan is a man who never wants to suffer any loss."

The other two quickly agreed.

"Okay, stop talking."

"He has already led his army to set off. It's too late to recall him now. Just let him go." Philip III said with a grim face.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"But shouldn't we make some preparations so that we can provide timely assistance if Hassan's attack goes awry or even fails?"

Adlu, the commander of the Royal Guards, reminded him.

"Humph, failure is his own fault. Who told him to go into battle without permission?"

"So, whether we succeed or fail, it has nothing to do with us." Philip III waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes."

Adelu and the other three lowered their heads, bowed and retreated.

…………

at the same time.

Northeastern part of the Arab Empire.

“Boom~Boom~”

A huge army is marching towards Beiting.

This army was none other than the army of Hassan, the governor of the northern province of the Arab Empire.

"Hahaha, we finally set foot on Daqian territory."

Hassan laughed happily while sitting on horseback. After a difficult march of half a month, they finally arrived at the territory of Daqian.

Hassan is about forty years old, with ordinary looks, dark skin and a sturdy build.

Although he inherited the governorship from his father, he was not a playboy. Instead, he was brave and good at fighting and was a famous general of the Arab Empire.

This time he conquered Daqian entirely on his own initiative.

He was the governor of the northern province of the Arab Empire. The war between the Arab Empire and Persia was mainly in the south. Because the distance was too far, Hassan did not participate in the Persian campaign on a large scale.

Therefore, after the victory of the war, he did not get much credit.

So he planned to recover some of his losses from Daqian.

Because Hassan heard that a civil war had just broken out in the Daqian Beiting Protectorate, the former Beiting Protector General Li Chenglin had died, and all the elite Beiting troops under his command had been destroyed.

The new person in charge of Beiting was the son of Emperor Daqian, a young boy.

How could he miss such a good opportunity?
