The eldest son is fierce

Huangfu Zong twisted his fingertips, and the chess piece on his fingertips shattered into powder on the spot.

Ye Ying's sharp old eyes narrowed, and he looked up at Huangfu Zong opposite him, with a hint of thick mockery on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that Brother Huangfu has overestimated his advisors and the Prince of Zhennan, and underestimated Tang Yi!"

Huangfu Zong waved his hand, and the chess pieces that had been crushed into powder fell from his fingertips, dotted onto the chessboard, making the black and white chessboard feel hazy.

Huangfu Zong picked up another chess piece and placed it: "It's not a big change, it won't affect the overall situation."

Ye Ying chuckled and said, "The death of Prince Zhennan is enough to prove that this little guy's methods and mentality... are not suitable for his age. Brother Huangfu, don't let the next person to die be you."

Huangfu Zong smiled contemptuously and said, "You know nothing about the Grandmaster Realm."

Ye Ying subconsciously clenched his fist, and the chess piece in his palm was crushed into powder. The sword on his back trembled slightly, making bursts of sword sounds.

The feeling of being looked down upon made him want to kill, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to draw his sword.

He was at the half-step Grandmaster level, and although he was only half a level away from Huangfu Zong, a slight difference could lead to a huge mistake. If they really started fighting, he wouldn't be able to last more than a few moves against Huangfu Zong.

"Haha, that's right. The Grandmaster level is indeed awesome." Ye Ying circulated his true energy to suppress his murderous intent.

"Boring. I thought I could kill a Half-Step Grandmaster before fighting Wei Yuan."

Huangfu Zong casually dropped the chess piece, turned his head and looked at the spy. "Keep an eye on the movements of the Zhennan Army and report back every hour. Also, write a letter for me and give it to Tang Yi."

"Yes." The spy stood up and left.

Huangfu Zong looked at the messy chessboard, and after a moment, a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I have always believed that Tang Yi is just a marshal in name only. The real decision maker in the southern battlefield is Wei Yuan."

"Now it seems that I was wrong. The real decision maker in the southern battlefield is Tang Yi."

"Putting aside grudges, this little guy is truly a heroic young man."

Ye Ying snorted lightly but did not say anything. I have reminded you a long time ago, but you still don’t believe it. If he were an ordinary person, could he have easily destroyed An Jinglou twice, causing serious damage to An Jinglou?

"But now it's finally interesting."

Huangfu Zong stood up and looked towards the Nanjing Army camp, his smile gradually becoming more severe: "A battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people is more suitable for me to comprehend the meaning of life and death."

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

……

At the same time, inside Tianyongguan City.

At the Border Army Headquarters, the burly, bearded General Li Yuanyang sat in the main seat, his expression gloomy.

Sitting in the hall were a group of border army generals. All of them had grim expressions, making the atmosphere in the hall extremely depressing.

After a long silence, a general finally looked at Li Yuanyang, stood up, and bowed, saying, "General, I think the army should abandon Tianyong Pass and retreat to Yangcheng to defend it. I also ask the General to think about the remaining 60,000 soldiers of our border army..."

"No."

Before the general finished speaking, someone immediately stood up to object.

The speaker was a young general in his early thirties. He said, "It's shameful enough that the border troops retreated to Tianyong Pass and abandoned hundreds of thousands of civilians. If we retreat another two hundred miles, how will the people of the world view our southern border troops?"

"Furthermore, Yangcheng has no strategic locations to defend. Once the enemy breaks through, the Nanjing cavalry can reach Kyoto in two days."

"By then, we will be sinners for eternity!"

At this point, the young general swept his eyes across the room and said, "Also, the Marshal ordered us to hold our ground and wait for reinforcements. You can think about the consequences of withdrawing without authorization."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall instantly became noisy.

"Marshal? Marshal is bullshit! Does he treat the battlefield like his own home? Tianyong Pass is so huge, and he only sent a few hundred people to assist in the defense. Do you call this reinforcements?"

"Everyone, I'm not trying to sound harsh, but are all those veterans of Da Yan who have been rewarded with hundreds of battles dead? Your Majesty actually let a young man under twenty years old lead the troops."

"Hold on and wait for help. I think we should just hold on and wait for death! Tang Yi only brought 5,000 soldiers from Kyoto, and the court didn't send any other reinforcements. How could there be any reinforcements in the entire southern border?"

"..."

When Li Yuanyang heard the complaints of the generals, his face became extremely ugly. The Zhennan Army withdrew, and the border army fought a battle with the Nanjing Army and was directly defeated.

All his energy and spirit were gone.

In addition, the truth about the great victory in the southern border spread, and Tang Qi, the culprit who personally created the great victory in the southern border, also had some relationship with Tang Yi.

How could the border army generals, who were already filled with anger, not have any opinions about him?

Thinking of this, Li Yuanyang subconsciously raised his hand and pinched his brow. If he didn't retreat, Tianyong Pass would be the grave of the border troops. If he retreated, his entire clan would be exterminated...

The most important thing is that there are countless martial arts masters gathered outside Tianyong Pass, and they all come to kill Tang Yi.

"Report!"

At this moment, a scout ran in quickly and knelt on one knee to salute Li Yuanyang: "General, the latest urgent news has come from the mall."

"General Tang Yi has successfully subdued the Zhennan Army and is leading them and 10,000 recruited bandits towards Tianyong Pass."

Upon hearing this, the noisy hall fell into silence in an instant.

The border army generals, who were originally furious, were all stunned and stared at the scout kneeling on the ground in disbelief.

What? Tang Yi has taken control of the Zhennan Army and is now leading it towards Tianyong Pass? How is this possible? The Zhennan Army only obeys the King of Zhennan.

Li Yuanyang was also stunned. Even though he was a veteran, his heart was filled with shock when he heard the news.

That's the Zhennan Army! He said he would control it?

"Nonsense, this is impossible!"

Finally, one of the generals in the hall came to his senses and pointed at the scout, angrily shouting, "Tang Yi controls the Zhennan Army? This is absolutely impossible. The Zhennan King is insidious and cunning. How could he be persuaded by Tang Yi?"

"General, this news must be false. Tang Yi deliberately spread it to us. He wants to trick us into defending Tianyong Pass to the death."

Upon hearing this, the scout kowtowed in fear and said, "General, the Prince of Zhennan and Situ Yan are dead. Situ Yan was killed by the Prince of Zhennan, and the Prince of Zhennan was killed by Tang Yi."

"Now, the 50,000-strong army from Shangcheng has already marched towards Tianyong Pass, and the Southern Guard troops from all the major cities in Shangzhou have also begun to gather and join Tang Yi."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall fell into silence again, and they felt the hairs on their bodies stand up.

Prince Zhennan is dead? Situ Yan is dead?

The King of Zhennan was so majestic and powerful that he dominated the entire southern region. How could he be killed by Tang Yi?

Li Yuanyang was no longer calm and felt uneasy. He decided to listen to Tang Yi and hold on until help came.

This is so damn scary. This guy even dares to kill the prince. If he dares to withdraw his troops without authorization, he will be chopped into pieces!
