Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

As the Shenmu Kingdom gradually began to make big moves.

Liu Chuang's troops also arrived at the border of Shenmu Kingdom. They were in the border area in the southern region.

There are dense forests and lush grass here.

It is precisely because of this extremely complex mountain forest environment.

This made it convenient for Fang Yuanjian to hide quickly after his defeat against Hua Yunhong.

After Liu Chuang arrived here, he still had to go through informants for two days before he finally entered an open space in the deep mountains and forests.

I met Fang Yuanjian here.

Fang Yuanjian no longer has the high spirits he had when he was conducting the transaction with Chu Ying and the people from Datong.

He was extremely haggard, with stubble all over his face and a tired look, and he looked much thinner.

"General Liu, you are finally here."

When Fang Yuanjian saw Liu Chuang, he immediately cheered up and took the initiative to step forward to greet him.

"Tell me how you plan to fight. I heard that you have already arranged troops to go and test the enemy in the past few days."

As soon as Liu Chuang arrived here, he immediately got down to business. He returned to support Fang Yuanjian on Qin Ming's orders.

Then we can't let Fang Yuanjian disappear silently in the mountains and forests.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Liu Chuang's help, Fang Yuanjian would really be at his wit's end.

The battle between the two armies originally required a huge amount of supplies.

Now Fang Yuanjian's blockade has basically been taken back by the imperial court, and he himself has taken his remaining troops of less than 20,000 into the mountains and forests, gnawing on tree bark all day long.

Sometimes, hunting and getting some wild game is considered a meat-eating treat.

Because the climate was humid and the temperature was high, many soldiers became ill after entering the forest.

Various strange diseases and poisonous insects continue to erode their bodies and wills.

Even among the enemy's originally loyal troops, there were waves of deserters.

Faced with this situation, Fang Yuanjian saw it and felt anxious.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.

In this situation where food and supplies are scarce.

Not to mention things like weapons, they basically don't have any.

Fang Yuanjian's battles have now fallen into the era of cold weapons.

But the court of Shenmu Kingdom was not like this. They still used advanced mechanical technology and powerful firearms to continuously clear out the remaining remnants of Fang Yuanjian.

Now the only fighting force they can count on is Liu Chuang.

"How much gunpowder did you bring this time?"

"Don't worry about the gunpowder. I just want to know what your goal is now? Do you want to retake the area or disrupt them?"

Liu Chuang needs to establish a goal first. The situation they are facing now is actually quite difficult. After all, the Shenmu Kingdom is so huge and has a powerful army.

If they forcibly occupied a piece of land in their hands, Liu Chuang and Fang Yuanjian would be faced with continuous attacks.

They definitely can't hold on.

So they need to discuss whether they can set up a stronghold first, and the choice of the stronghold needs to be considered by Fang Yuanjian.

"I've already thought about this. I plan to establish a stronghold in the border area."

While speaking, Fang Yuanjian also took out a map from his arms.

Then he pointed to a place above.

After seeing this place, Liu Chuang immediately gave a thumbs up and praised:

"Your Highness, you made a good choice!"

Fang Yuanjian was a very shrewd man. The place he chose was the border between the Datong Sect, Western Shu and the Shenmu Kingdom.

In this place where three forces intersect, it is very chaotic and there are many opportunities.

Any kingdom would be hesitant to send their troops to the border.

By choosing here, they can develop very well.

By connecting with all directions through the advantages of this area, you can survive.

However, in a place where three forces intersect, it is impossible to develop into a great power.

No force can allow them to develop and pose a threat to themselves.

After choosing this place, Fang Yuanjian can only be a gang force and cannot reach the national level.

Being able to make such a decision means that he has already made the choice in his mind.

Compared to achieving great things, staying alive is the most important thing.

As long as they are alive, they have many possibilities.

"There's no other way. This is the only way for now."

Fang Yuanjian smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned around and glanced at Liu Chuang's army.

"Now we just need to break through. As long as I am alive, Hua Yunhong will never be at peace. I think we can meet His Majesty's requirements."

"What does His Majesty require of you?"

Speaking of this, Liu Chuang suddenly became curious. When Qin Ming and Fang Yuanjian met, they did not let anyone else follow.

They just stood together and chatted for a while, then dispersed.

After that, Qin Ming ordered people to secretly send Fang Yuanjian back to the Shenmu Kingdom.

As for what they said in between, many people still don’t know it.

"I can't tell you that yet, but at least I'm not your enemy yet. General Liu can trust me."

Liu Chuang smacked his lips twice.

"His Majesty loves to be mysterious and won't tell me. Could it be that I, Old Liu, am so talkative that I would reveal his secrets?"

After complaining a few times, he continued to Fang Yuanjian:

"We have a military doctor with us. Bring your wounded and sick here for treatment. We'll set off in three days and head towards the stronghold you mentioned."

"We brought a lot of weapons and ammunition this time. We'll distribute them evenly among your most capable troops. The rest of the troops will serve as support soldiers."

Liu Chuang said this not because he looked down on Fang Yuanjian's troops.

They can take out any unit from the four camps of Fenglinhuoshan.

Ordinary elite troops cannot keep up with their pace.

If they fall behind, the Fire Camp will have to go back to rescue them, which will be counterproductive.

So except for some of the elite among the elite.

All the others will serve as logistics soldiers, helping them transport ammunition and supplies.

"Row."

Fang Yuan gradually understood what he meant.

So he nodded and called someone over.

"This happened just now. I helped Chu Ying fight against the Western Region coalition forces before."

"General Liu, I have long heard of your great name."

"General Fang, I've heard of you too. Nice to meet you."

After the two greeted each other.

Fang Yuanjian continued:

"The last batch of elite soldiers I have are the ones I just brought with me. He will arrange for someone to come and discuss assistance with you later."

"no problem."

Liu Chuang was just about to arrange people to transport supplies when he followed.

"General Liu...stay."

"what's up."

Liu Chuang turned around and looked at what had just happened in confusion.

But he found that the other party sighed and said:

"I have something I want to discuss with you."
