The eldest son is fierce

After hearing Yi Hongxiu's words, Qin Shujian, Meixiang, and the others' expressions changed. Beidi, Dongyu, Nanjing, martial arts masters... plus the 200,000-man Zhennan Army, what a formidable force that would be!

Tang Yi only had the Zhennan Army and the New Army. No, to be more precise, only the New Army. Although the Zhennan Army was temporarily under control, no one could guarantee that they would not rebel on the battlefield.

As for the border troops, their situation was even worse than that of the Zhennan Army. They had long been frightened by the Northern Di Army. This was one of the reasons why Tang Yi chose to start with the Zhennan Army when he entered the southern border.

To put it bluntly, Tianyong Pass was a grave dug for Tang Yi by Huangfu Zong and his forces.

However, after hearing what Yi Hongxiu said, Tang Yi jumped two feet high, danced with excitement, and even turned around twice excitedly while holding Qin Shujian.

Meixiang, Qin Shujian and others were all stunned when they saw this scene. The enemy has set up many traps for you outside Tianyong Pass, and you are still so happy?

"Husband...Husband, are you okay? Don't scare me!" Qin Shujian has a cold personality and is not as open as Meixiang and the others. She has always called Tang Yi by his name.

But now she was frightened by Tang Yi and thought he had gone crazy.

"Husband, don't be afraid, we will protect you."

"Husband, don't scare me, I'm timid..."

"..."

Meixiang, Qiuju and the others also gathered around, staring at Tang Yi with nervous expressions.

Seeing the nervous expressions of the wives, Tang Yi raised his hand and tapped them on the forehead, saying unhappily, "Don't worry, I'm not crazy. I'm fine."

"Do you know what I'm most afraid of right now? I'm most afraid of being harassed!"

Tang Yi folded his hands and said, "Although the Zhennan Army is under my control and its morale has been restored, it is actually not difficult to disintegrate the Zhennan Army again."

"As long as we send out experts to constantly harass and launch surprise attacks during the day, and then beat drums and gongs to create momentum for the attack at night while the Zhennan Army is resting, we will make the Zhennan Army defenseless and exhausted. Even if we can bring the Zhennan Army to Tianyong Pass, they will be exhausted. How much fighting power will they have left?"

"As a result, Huangfu Zong would rather dig a trap at Tianyong Pass than come and touch me... Could it be that all masters at the Grandmaster level have this mysterious self-confidence?"

Meixiang, Qiuju and other beauties blinked and said, "Yes, that makes sense!"

Qin Shujian raised his hand to his forehead and said unhappily, "Husband... Tang Yi, have you ever thought about one thing? It's not that Huangfu Zong didn't send anyone over, but that Huangfu Zong didn't expect you to win, right?"

"Don't forget, the Prince of Zhennan has a hundred thousand Zhennan troops, and his chief advisor to the Huangfu clan is personally in charge. With such a battle, no one thinks you can win!"

Tang Yi stood there!

Damn, it seems so!

The Zhennan Army was just conquered today. It is impossible for Huangfu Zong to react so quickly, and he cannot predict the future.

"Qin Shujian, you will die if you don't speak!"

"That's right, if you dare to question my husband again, I'll tear your mouth apart."

"..."

Meixiang and Qiuju glared at each other, saying, "Whatever your husband says is right, why are you making trouble?"

Tang Yi looked at the people who were fighting, raised his hand and patted his head. That's right, his nerves were too tense, which led to him to preconceived conspiracy theories as soon as some things happened.

"Ahem, maybe I'm overthinking it, but what Miss Hongxiu said is indeed a good thing."

Tang Yi looked at the busy Zhennan Army camp and said with a smile, "I was worried that we might run into Huangfu Zong and cause trouble along the way, and it would be difficult to bring the Zhennan Army with us. Now that Huangfu Zong has this mysterious confidence, the chances of him causing trouble along the way are not very high."

"That way, things will be much easier to handle."

Tang Yi tapped his fist lightly on his palm, his face excited. "Since Huangfu Zong has dug my grave, I'll let him know... So what if he's a Grandmaster? I'll let him know that his mysterious self-confidence is nothing compared to me."

Yi Hongxiu looked at Tang Yi, who was full of confidence, and her beautiful eyes suddenly sparkled. He was worthy of being the man favored by Her Royal Highness the Princess and Sister Meixiang. Look at his expression, look at his profile, look at his confidence, so charming.

"We can't miss this opportunity. We need to hurry up. Speed ​​is of the essence in war."

Tang Yi put his hands on his hips, thought about the original plan in his mind, and said to Liang Shao who was standing not far away: "Liang Shao, pass the order down. In one hour, the entire Zhennan Army will march towards Tianyong Pass."

"Since they want to play, I'm going to have fun with them this time!"

The truth is only within the range of artillery fire, not to mention that I have a fear of insufficient artillery fire!

After the military order was passed down, the pace of activity in the military camp became faster. In less than an hour, the entire army was fully organized. A total of 50,000 Zhennan troops and 10,000 bandits who were temporarily incorporated into the Zhennan army were all assembled in the Zhennan army camp.

At Tang Yi's command, the army marched towards Tianyong Pass in a mighty manner.

Xiao Liang led 20,000 troops as the vanguard, Tang Yi personally led 20,000 troops as the central army, and Xiao Di led 20,000 troops as the rear army.

Qin Shujian and Xiao Di and his group sternly rejected this order. Tang Yi personally led 20,000 troops as the central army. Once the Zhennan Army mutinied, he would be attacked from both sides, which was too dangerous.

But Tang Yi still decided to take the risk. He trusted the people he employed and would not employ them if he doubted them. On the one hand, he told them that he would lead them back to the border to avenge the dead civilians, while on the other hand, he was on guard against the rebellion of the Zhennan Army. What do you think the generals of the Zhennan Army will think?

Besides, as the commander-in-chief of an army, if he doesn’t even have this little courage, he might as well go home and breastfeed his children!

At nightfall, Tang Yi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the torches that stretched for dozens of miles below him. The smile on his face gradually faded. "Mr. Nangong, what do you think of this scene?"

The person Tang Yi had the emperor secretly send back to the southern border was none other than Nangong Yue, the former Nanjing envoy. After the Nanjing embassy was destroyed by him, Nangong Yue was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei until he was released before the expedition.

"Oh, it's spectacular."

Nangong Yue stood in front of the cliff, smiling and admiring.

He was wearing a simple Confucian robe and his hair was combed meticulously. Although he no longer had the noble air of the past, he had more of a scholarly air, making him look more like a teacher.

"But, so what?"

Nangong Yue turned his head and stared at the handsome young man beside him: "Even if you can control 100,000 Zhennan troops, plus 10,000 bandit troops, and 60,000 border troops, the total force will be less than 200,000."

"And what are your opponents? A martial arts master, two hundred thousand elite soldiers from Nanjing, plus masters from Beidi and Dongyu, plus countless martial arts masters who want to kill you..."

"All told, Huangfu Zong has about 300,000 soldiers and horses at his disposal."

"A martial arts grandmaster can easily dismantle your hastily assembled army of over a hundred thousand. How can you win?"

Tang Yi ignored Nangong Yue and stared calmly at the Zhennan Army at the foot of the mountain. He said, "Let me tell you a story! There was once a killer named Bai Qi who fought a very famous war called the Battle of Changping."

"In that battle, Bai Qi killed all 300,000 enemy soldiers!"

Having said that, Tang Yi turned his head to look at Nangong Yue and smiled.

"It's a pity that the Nanjing army only has 200,000 soldiers..."
