In the court of King Langqiang.

The situation became increasingly tense as the old Qiang King's health further deteriorated.

In the royal court, the ministers formed a constant team to secretly assist and support.

Ni Da and the second prince are also preparing their own preparations.

As for the knight legion quietly led by Han general Ma Zhong, they galloped in and contacted the second prince.

He placed Ma Zhong's troops in the camp of his private soldiers and hid them all together, waiting for the opportunity.

Looking at Zhao Tong, he believed in his word and did what he said.

More than two thousand elite cavalry were directly dispatched to help.

The second prince felt more and more grateful in his heart, and his confidence in fighting for the throne also doubled.

On the contrary, it is on the Qiang Road side.

After the commander-in-chief Zhao Tong received information from the scouts lurking in Longxi, he learned that Cao's army in Longxi County was secretly convening military information.

He has not been idle either.

After careful consideration, he wrote a letter and sent it to the county magistrate to explain the details.

For the sake of safety, Zhao Tong immediately rearranged the soldiers from all walks of life who stayed behind in the camp to garrison the border defense line around Shilibao.

They can spy on the military situation at any time in case Cao Jun takes advantage of it one day!

After arranging defense.

His slightly hung mind gradually relaxed.

But just as the situation in the surrounding area became extremely anxious due to the incident at the Shenlang Qiang Royal Court.

The letter was safely delivered to the county magistrate during the debate.

Unexpectedly, Huo Jun, the governor of Yinping and Yinping counties who was in charge of the full-power governorship of Wudu, was bedridden.

Governor's Mansion.

When his subordinates heard about this letter, Tong Zhao rushed to send it, in order to prevent his governor from being affected by external military affairs so that he could rest in peace.

Determined to drive the messenger away.

Simply, Huo Jun learned about this matter.

Of course he understood the nature of Zhao Tong's descendants.

Knowing that he has a lot of self-confidence in his heart, if he can solve the problem by himself, he will definitely not send someone to come all the way.

"Stop!" Right above the lobby, Huo Jun, wearing a thick brocade robe, slowly walked out of the back room. Seeing that his personal guards were about to expel him, he hurriedly yelled.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards retreated to both sides.

Immediately, Huo Jun, despite his discomfort, sat on the main seat, facing the messenger in the hall, his face regained its original serious look, and said in a deep voice:

"I heard that Zhao Tong sent you here?"

"I wonder if something happened to the Qiang Dao camp again?"

As soon as he said these words, Huo Jun's face unconsciously showed some tense emotions.

After finishing speaking, the messenger in the middle also knew that the military situation was urgent and did not dare to be negligent at all. He quickly responded with his hands raised: "Report to Governor Huo, something has indeed happened on the Qiang Road side."

"That's why the villain just accepted General Zhao's order and rushed to tell you the truth to the governor."

Having said that, the messenger quickly took the letter out of his arms and handed it to his trusted guard to present it.

Huo Jun took the letter and opened it, reading it quickly while listening to his story quietly.

After a long while.

Huo Jun had a rough understanding of what was happening around the Qiang Dao camp.

"Oh? The old Qiang King is suffering from serious diseases and will die soon?"

"I didn't expect that the opportunity to win over Shenlang Qiang would come so quickly."

After hearing the detailed military report, Huo Jun also showed a look of excitement in an instant.

It’s about getting married with Ginseng Langqiang.

When Zhao Yun captured the Qiang Taoist army and returned to Hanzhong, he told Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, about his friendship with Prince Ni Er and the various situations within the Shenlang Qiang.

He subsequently served as the governor of the two counties.

Both of these areas are adjacent to the territories of the Qiang and Di ethnic groups.

Liu Bei naturally informed him of this matter.

However, he did not expect that Old Qiang King Shenlang would be on the verge of death so soon.

Shenlangqiang is about to change!

After hearing it, he pondered in his mind for a while.

Then he gave stern instructions, "Okay, the governor already knows about this."

"You will go down and have a rest first, and then return to Qiang Road to resume your life."

"Let General Zhao rest assured that I will provide him with backup, so there is no need to worry!"

"promise!"

The order was passed down, and the messenger accepted the promise and was about to turn around and leave.

"Cough cough cough..." But at this time, Huo Jun suddenly coughed and shouted loudly: "Wait a moment."

"Ah? What other instructions does the Governor have?"

After hearing this, the messenger quickly turned around and asked respectfully.

"It's nothing. It's just that the governor is seriously ill. After you return this time, don't mention it to General Zhao and my son Huo Yi."

"Now is the time when the situation is changing, and war will break out at any time."

"In order not to affect the morale of the army, you must keep this secret."

Words were poured out loudly.

Huo Jun had an extremely stern look on his face.

When the messenger saw it, he felt that this matter was no small matter!

Then he quickly raised his hands and said, "I will obey the command of the Commander-in-Chief."

Send the messenger away.

In response to what Zhao Tong said, Cao's army in Longxi was gathering secretly with the intention of threatening the Qiang Dao camp.

Huo Jun also knew that the strategic location of Qiang Road was extremely important.

He didn't even bother to go back to his room to rest and recuperate.

He ordered the trusted guards standing next to him to immediately go and summon the generals to discuss matters.

"Captain, you are ill. The doctor said you should not do too much military work and should rest more."

“It’s better to take care of yourself!”

When the guards heard that their commander-in-chief wanted to summon all the generals to discuss matters, they immediately admonished him.

"It doesn't matter, I can handle it."

"On the other hand, A Tong on the Qiang Road side may be facing a counterattack by Cao's army from Feiyao and Dailing tribes in Longxi, so the pressure will be doubled."

"I can't ignore it!"

As soon as he said this, Huo Jun's face was extremely determined, and he reluctantly ordered: "Go quickly!"

The order was passed down again.

Although the guards couldn't bear it, they had no choice but to act separately.

After the guards left the house one after another and summoned the generals to pass, a handsome, burly middle-aged man wearing armor came from the side and asked with cupped hands:

"Commander, you are not in good health now. How about you go to the Qiang Dao camp privately to inform the young master about this, and ask him to take leave from General Zhao and come back to take care of you and accompany you for a period of time?"

As soon as these words were said, this middle-aged man was also Huo's family general who had followed him for many years, and he could be said to be loyal to him.

Now that Huo Jun is seriously ill, he feels extremely uncomfortable inside.

I couldn't help but suggest this.

After hearing this, Huo Jun waved his hands and said: "No! Now the war is about to break out, and Qiang Road is on the front line of the border. Zhao Tong is facing a lot of pressure."

"It is also a time when we are short of manpower. If Yi'er stays with A Tong, he can also share some of his burdens."

"Huo Wu, you don't have to worry, I can still bear it."

Seeing that the head of the family was still thinking of the overall situation and did not approve his request.

There was also a hint of helplessness on his face.
