The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Upon hearing this, many generals immediately found various reasons.

"Oh, so there's a reason for that."

"Well, in that case, those of you who need to recuperate should go back and recuperate, and those of you who need to work should go back and work."

"I'm giving you a long vacation. Is three years enough?"

"If that's not enough, then five years."

Ning Quan's face turned cold and he said in a cold voice.

"This this...."

Hearing this, all the generals were dumbfounded.

They never expected that Ning Quan would be so powerful and dismiss them all with just one sentence.

Although His Highness did not say it explicitly, if taking a three-year leave is not dismissal, what is it?

They wanted to retort, but were speechless.

"Why, you're still not convinced?"

"As soldiers, if you can't go to the battlefield and lead troops into battle, what else do I need you for?"

Ning Quan's face instantly turned gloomy and he shouted angrily.

"Your Highness, I was wrong."

Everyone reacted instantly, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

What a joke! If they are dismissed, their lives will be ruined.

"Humph, it's too late to realize your mistake now."

"Come here, kick them all out."

Ning Quan said coldly.

"promise!"

In an instant, the guards on both sides rushed up and dragged the group of generals out.

"Your Highness, we were really wrong."

"Your Highness, I am truly injured."

"Your Highness, please forgive us this time. We will never dare to do it again!"

.....

At this moment, these generals were really scared and they begged desperately.

But Ning Quan was not moved at all, and even showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.

If you don't want the chance, then you can't blame others.

Soon, these generals were thrown out of the palace.

"Your Highness, should we investigate whether they are corrupt?"

At this time, Jia Xu immediately came up and said.

"Of course we have to investigate, but we can't generalize. If it's a small amount, we can let it go. But if it's a large amount, we must not tolerate it."

Ning Quan said coldly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have it all figured out."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu quickly agreed.

"Okay, now that everything is said and done, you can go back."

Ning Quan waved to the remaining people, signaling them to retreat.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and turned to leave.

The moment they walked out of the mansion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help feeling a little lucky.

Fortunately they made the right choice.

Otherwise, they would end up like those dozen generals.

...................

The next morning, Yue Fei led his army to march towards Jiannan.

The army consisted of 30,000 cavalry and 23,000 Hexi infantry, with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu serving as deputy generals.

Half of the former Hexi generals also accompanied the army.

This is the last chance Ning Quan gives them. It would be foolish not to seize it.

After Yue Fei left, Ning Quan was not idle either. He immediately summoned Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others to discuss matters and conduct an assessment and analysis of the officials in Hexi.

Based on the principle of promoting the capable and demoting the mediocre.

Ning Quan quickly reorganized the officials, and once those who were found to be corrupt or abused their power were found, their homes were confiscated and they were punished.

In just five days, most of the officials in Hexi were replaced.

At the same time, on the same day, Lu Bu also arrived in Xiping with 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry.

Ning Quan personally went to the city gate to welcome Lu Bu's return and held a welcoming ceremony for him.

The arrival of 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry also frightened the people of Xiping, who thought that the Xiongnu were coming to attack.

Later, people learned that these Xiongnu cavalry were all under the command of His Majesty the Ninth Prince, and the people were relieved.

They also learned that the Ninth Prince had actually conquered the Western Xiongnu.

Suddenly, the people were in an uproar.

They shouted that the Ninth Prince was mighty and brave.

For a time, Ning Quan's prestige soared.

After resting for three days in Xiping, Lu Bu's army set out to pursue Yue Fei's army.

At the same time, Yue Fei had led his troops into the Tubo territory.

Aquinas's 100,000-strong army was completely wiped out, which dealt a devastating blow to Tubo.

The Tibetan king Ashina She'er could hardly believe it.

How could the brave and invincible Tibetan army fail?

But he reacted immediately and ordered a nationwide conscription to prepare for Ning Quan's possible retaliation.

The population of Tubo was originally small, and in the end Ashina She'er only hastily recruited 70,000 troops.

Although these soldiers were all young and strong, their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of Aquinas' 100,000 elite troops.

Upon learning that Yue Fei led his troops into Tubo, Ashina She was immediately terrified, thinking that Ning Quan was coming for revenge.

Quickly prepare for war and be ready to counter Yue Fei's army.

However, what Ashina She'er did not expect was that Yue Fei ignored him at all, but headed towards Jiannan.

Ashina She'er was confused and quickly summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, Ning Quan's army is heading towards Jiannan. Could it be that they want to seize Jiannan?"

A Tibetan minister spoke up.

"It can't be about seizing Jiannan. It should be about deterrence, forcing Jiannan to withdraw its troops from Xuanwu."

Prime Minister Bartley said.

After all, Bartley is the prime minister, so he has some ability and can see through the essence at a glance.

After hearing what Bartley said, Ashinashe reacted immediately.

"Well, that should be the purpose."

"That's good, we don't have to worry."

"Inform the counties along the way that they are not to stop the enemy troops if they encounter them, and let them pass."

Ashina She'er said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Zamp."

Upon hearing the order, the ministers spoke respectfully.

A few days later, Jiannan Jiedushi Zhang Ju also received the news.

Knowing that Ning Quan had sent a large army through the Tubo territory to attack Jiannan.

Zhang Ju was stunned.

He could never have imagined that Ning Quan would attack him across Tubo.

The key point is, why would Tubo allow the army to pass?

Right now, most of his Jiannan Army is in Xuanwu, and there are less than 40,000 soldiers left in the entire Jiannan.

Faced with Ning Quan's army of nearly 100,000, he was unable to resist at all.

Zhang Ju was certainly smart enough to consider that Ning Quan might have sent troops to intimidate him and force him to withdraw from Xuanwu.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

"Pass my order to withdraw troops from Xuanwu immediately!"

Zhang Ju took a deep breath and gave the order.

"Yes, Lord Jiedushi."

The deputy general responded.

.......

On the other side, Xuanwu County.

The Daqian and Xuanwu coalition forces have been fighting fiercely for more than two months.

Although the Daqian Army had the upper hand and occupied most of Xuanwu's territory, it was unable to capture Xuanwu County and its surrounding areas.

Xuanwu Jiedushi Zhao Shijie showed extraordinary tenacity and relied on reinforcements from all over the place to hold on until now.

The 600,000 troops of both sides are now deadlocked outside the city of Xuanwu County, and neither side can do anything to the other.

As time went on, both sides became anxious.

Daqian is now facing an attack from Daqi. If Xuanwu is not captured as soon as possible, the prince will definitely not be able to hold on.

Zhao Shijie had problems with food and grass. The Xuanwu Army and reinforcements from various places totaled more than 200,000.

Of course, all these food and supplies need to be provided by Zhao Shijie.

But how could he afford so much food?
