Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The news of the Xiao family's troop support was quickly delivered to the front-line troops.

During this period, Wanyan Tielu and his troops were constantly entangled with Cao Chuan and others.

Wanyan Tielu is worthy of being one of the Yan Dynasty's leading generals, with extremely high tactical level.

It can be seen that after the Daqian troops arrive to provide support in the short term, they will need to go to each occupied fortress to reinforce the manpower.

So he chose to send troops directly to rob them along the way.

These Daqian troops along the way lost the support of the fortress.

Because of the division of their troops, they would naturally be at a disadvantage when facing the Yan army's abundant number of troops.

After accurately determining the route of Daqian's troops, Wanyan Tielu's divide-and-conquer attack in the past few days has achieved results, although his losses are still several times that of Daqian.

What the Yan Dynasty lacked the least was slaves and civilians at the lower level, who could be added to the army at any time.

So judging from the results, Wanyan Tielu has a certain advantage in this recent game.

Just when the situation of the Yan army was improving steadily, Qin Yue, who had been hiding in the rear and unwilling to participate in the battle, received a piece of news that made him panic.

"Sir, Xiao Tianzhu will arrive later with 300,000 reinforcements and some weapons and equipment."

When his men told Qin Yue the news.

Although having support was good news, there was no joy on Qin Yue's face.

"Xiao Tianzhu is coming with 300,000 people!?"

"Why do we have to wait until he arrives to get our supplies?!"

Qin Yue quickly realized that something was wrong.

He knew something about Xiao Tianzhu's situation.

Qin Yue didn't care whether the other party was loyal to the family or not.

In his eyes, he only cares about whether the other party will pose a threat to his position.

Obviously, Xiao Tianzhu is a talented and virtuous person, and is an extremely dangerous person to himself.

He must definitely restrict the other party!

"Xiao, the 300,000-man army is short of supplies and needs to be armed first. Let's wait a moment."

Faced with this question, his subordinates did not hide anything and told Qin Yue the whole situation.

"This bastard is talking bullshit!"

"We agreed before we came here that supplies need to be delivered to the front lines first!"

"He's so good, he got stuck like this, what should I do?!"

Qin Yue was furious.

He didn't know that the other party was holding back his supplies because they didn't trust him.

He just felt that Xiao Tianzhu had snatched the position of the next generation head of the family from him, so he felt a rift in his heart.

Qin Yue angrily picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote a thousand-word letter on the paper.

"Give this to Master Liu, and make sure they bring the supplies!"

"Sixth Master...is sick."

The subordinate spoke hesitantly.

Qin Yue understood what happened in an instant.

"The Xiao family...was seized by Xiao Tianzhu?!"

"It's not yet determined, but the person in charge has been replaced by Xiao Tianzhu."

This news made Qin Yue feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

Qin Yue suddenly felt very regretful that he had used up all his ammunition.

His troops are the last trump card in his hand.

If the Xiao family has been controlled by Xiao Tianzhu, he will become an isolated island.

Especially when the other party comes with a large army, it is absolutely possible that they will sideline you.

A feeling of fear suddenly came over me.

"How can that be! Send a message to the troops, don't move now."

"But sir, the troops outside are still moving."

The subordinates reminded him immediately.

It’s not so easy for them to stop now.

Wanyan Tielu was still fighting on the front lines, and even achieved some initial success.

Qin Yue did not make any contribution. Not only did he waste so many weapons and ammunition in vain, but at this critical moment, he chose to retreat to preserve his strength out of selfish motives.

No one can do such a thing.

So even his subordinates couldn't help but remind Qin Yue at this time.

Unfortunately, he was not facing a normal general, but Qin Yue, who was only concerned with maintaining his own power.

"Just retreat. Wanyan Tielu and the others are not of our race, so why bother getting involved with them?"

"……Yes."

Soon, Qin Yue's troops began to withdraw.

This news also reached Wanyan Tielu's ears.

Just as Wanyan Tielu was analyzing the battle situation in recent days and calculating the next support route for the Daqian troops.

The news of Qin Yue's withdrawal was reported by Wan Ai, one of the four generals under Wanyan Tielu.

"When I returned with my troops today, I saw that their troops had retreated more than ten miles, but there was no news from our side."

Wan Ai reported what he saw and heard with a calm expression.

Qin Yue's departure will not put them under any pressure.

Because a long time ago, Wanyan Tielu had already thrown it aside when he formulated the battle plan.

Let him fight however he wants.

"Retreat...it seems something happened in the rear."

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Tielu fell into deep thought.

Soon, he raised his head and slowly uttered two words:

"Xiao family."

"Are you saying something happened to the Xiao family?"

Wan Ai's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

But then he denied his idea.

"That's not right, General. The Xiao family is now at its peak, how could something go wrong?"

"It may not be an accident outside, it may be an accident inside."

Wanyan Tielu spoke in a low voice.

"Do you remember Xiao Tianzhu, the Xiao family's branch?"

"Remember, he's a talented person. It's said that he contributed a lot to the Xiao family's development to this day. It's a pity that Qin Yue..."

Wan Ai quickly understood Wanyan Tielu's meaning.

"Isn't this a power grab?"

Wanyan Tielu waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, this is someone else's family affair. No matter what, the Xiao family will send a lot of troops to support them. If we can replace Qin Yue, it will save us a lot of effort."

“You’re right, that Qin Yue…just leave it like that?”

"Of course not. I will write a letter right now, denouncing this guy for being unreliable. I'm sure those people in the upper echelons are also waiting for this opportunity to hold the Xiao family hostage."

Wanyan Tielu had a thorough understanding of the domestic and international situation.

Daqian’s troops are not the most critical at the moment.

For the upper echelons, it is not only necessary to strike out externally, but also to give the Xiao family, which has emerged as a new force, a warning.

Qin Yue's performance is a very important handle. When the time comes, people will naturally use this to attack him, and it will become a stumbling block for the Xiao family to advance to the upper class of the nobility.

Wanyan Tielu went with the flow and it was enough for him to do a favor to those upper-class people. He would not participate in more than that.

"I see."

Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Wan Ai prepared to continue with several other generals to ambush the Daqian troops according to the route set by Wanyan Tielu.

Wanyan Tielu patted his shoulder and said:

"The Daqian army has not made any unnecessary moves recently, only sending reinforcements to various locations. When you launch another surprise attack, you must be careful."

"Are you saying they might be planning something big in private?"

Wan Ai's heart trembled.

"Well, so don't overdo it. Let's wait until the main force arrives before we do anything."

"Yes!"
