At the same time, in Ning'an County, which is in the center of three mountain gorge, Zhou Xichen, commander-in-chief of the fast wind army, and Yan Tuohai, commander-in-chief of the xiyuanze army, stand side by side on the wall of the South City, looking at the movement in the direction of the South Valley with a worried face.
Before Lu que arrived at Xiaogushan, xiyuanze's Legion had already arrived at Ning'an city. Zhou Xichen didn't have any suspicion of Yan Tuohai because he was a demoted general or a former Tianxing royal family. Moreover, because they had similar temperament, they had made contact with each other for more than ten days and had initially established friendship. However, the 50000 strong wind troops who stayed in Ning'an city and the new xiyuanze Legion arrived, The two armies, which did not belong to the same country before, became close because of the harmonious relationship between the two commanders.
Now their task is to work hard and wait for commander Lu Que's order. Then they will go out of nangu and attack the flank of Nanli army after destroying the nangu herd and opening the channel. But just as they were waiting, the sentry patrolling in the South Valley suddenly reported that there were herds moving in the direction of Ning'an county.
Zhou Xichen and Yan Tuohai were surprised by this. During this period, the herd, led by the purple leopard, had been trying to break the block of Nanli army and rush out of nangu. It was just because there were 300000 troops in front of the herd, and there were strong men in the army. They had not been able to succeed.
But I don't know why the herd suddenly began to move towards Ning'an city. Although only a small part of the herd came, it was a very bad signal. Because no one can be sure whether the herd is exploring the way for the group deeply trapped in nangu, and no one can be sure whether the Purple Striped Leopard on the ground steps feels unable to break through the blocking of Nanli army and wants to return to xiyuanze via Ning'an valley.
You should know that Ning'an Valley can be divided into inner and outer ring valleys. The location of Ning'an county city is in the center of inner ring valley. Before the herds entered Ning'an South Valley, they went through outer ring Valley and did not pass near Ning'an county city. If the herds really want to turn around, the most likely way is to retreat along their way, but now there are a small group of herds appearing dozens of miles away from Ning'an county city, which seems to Zhou Xichen to be a very abnormal signal.
"Yan Shuai, you have been guarding xiyuanzewai for more than 20 years. What do you think of this matter?" Standing on the wall and looking south for a long time, Zhou Xichen didn't see what he wanted to see. He asked Yan Tuohai.
Zhou Xichen is the most junior commander among the twelve generals except Yu Tianxiang, a new Fengxiang commander. In the middle of last year, he was promoted from the position of commander of youzhuowei to commander of the fast wind army, because he was promoted to commander of the army. The commander of youzhuowei was vacant, and the emperor and waige never appointed a new commander, Only with the help of Gu Huaiyi, the commander of zuozhuowei in Qingquan City, can he lead the army of zuozhuowei and zuozhuowei.
However, although Zhou Xichen had been the commander of Youzhuo garrison before, and he was also a garrison in the south of Daqian, he really didn't know much about the animal tide. What he knows now is just to read the ancient books after the outbreak of the animal tide. Because he didn't know much about the habits of animal tide, he asked Yan Tuohai, a man who had been outside xiyuanze for more than 20 years.
"I'm flattered by Zhou Shuai. I'm not guarding xiyuanze. I just spent half my life in exile outside xiyuanze." Yan Tuohai said modestly with emotion on his face.
Zhou Xichen said with a smile, "even so, Yan Shuai, you are far superior to me in the herd habits. It's only a year since I was promoted to the commander of the wind army. I've been mixing with the emperor for half my life before. Let alone the Jedi herd, I know well about the wild herd, so I need Yan Shuai to solve my doubts."
Yan Tuohai takes a deep look at the commander-in-chief of Daqian swift wind army who has just known him. Although Zhou Xichen says that he has been mixing with the emperor Daqian all the time, Yan Tuohai does not dare to think so. You should know that Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian Dynasty, is not a mediocre master, and the people he used are not stupid.
The twelve main armies of Daqian accounted for almost half of the total forces of Daqian. There were more than 300000 troops, such as Panshi army, benlei army and Changqing army, which had been expanded twice. The rest were all about 150000 troops. The Han Navy and Jing Navy were less, but there were also 112000 troops and more than 1000 warships.
What's more, let's see who are the generals of the twelve main armies now: Marquis Wu Jing Wei Jiu, marquis Wu Yong Ning Darong, marquis Wu Yi Shen Zhang, marquis Wu An Bai Yi, Wang Yu Yuan Gao of Heyang, the son of Fu state Zhu Ge Ju, and the son of an state Luo Chen. All of these people are famous generals who have been fighting for a long time and have a great reputation. Everyone has a record that can be included in the annals of history.
Although Zhou Xichen, the commander-in-chief of the gale army, was not yet 40, he was able to be the commander-in-chief of the army at such an age and command 150000 troops. He took over the gale army at the time when the sky star lion army was destroyed. It just shows that this man is not a simple person, at least not as harmless as he showed.
Looking at Zhou Xichen in front of him, Yan Tuohai can't help feeling that it's not unreasonable for his country's heavenly star to perish. During this period of time, he has met Yuanpu and Gu Huairen, two of Da Qian's military rivals, Shen Zhang, commander of the thunder army, Gu Jieyun, Commander of Fengxiang army, Luo Chen, commander of Huxiao army, and Zhou Xichen, He has met one third of the commander of the 12th army of Daqian. Although he doesn't have much contact with these people, Yan Tuohai can still see that these people are no worse than Qiu lie, the famous commander of Tianxing.
Besides, these famous generals are not all the chips of Daqian. Under these famous generals, there are a large group of steady and staid generals of the previous generation and a new generation of heroic generals. On top of these famous generals, there is Bai Yi, the Marquis of Wu'an, who is more difficult to deal with Lu's father and son than Bai Yi.
It's too powerful to have such a large pool of talents and outstanding people. Coupled with the powerful national strength and the emperor who knows how to use people well and has no doubt about employing people, this is almost a country without obvious weakness.
At this time, Yan Tuohai couldn't help thinking of Lu que again. He didn't think much about that. Most of the time, he was a young man with an indifferent smile. During this time, he could feel the heartfelt admiration for Lu que from several generals. At this time, he really understood how much power and prestige this young man, who was almost the same age as his daughter, had. Also finally understand the original daughter Yan Qinglu why would persuade themselves to make such a choice.
"Yan Shuai, what are you thinking?" See Yan Tuohai did not speak for a long time, but fell into the inexplicable thinking, Zhou Xichen can not help but frown, asked.
