Tuoba Zan chased Xiao Zi all the way, and Xiao Zi did not fight him head-on. Almost as soon as the two armies fought, they immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, without any intention of confronting Tuoba Zan. Tuoba Zan naturally would not be polite to him, leaving some troops to resist Zhu Yaohong and Chu Ling, and all the remaining troops chased Xiao Zi. This time, Tuoba Zan finally put his personal grudge against Chu Ling in this battle, which shows that it is reasonable to learn from his mistakes.

But Tuoba Zan no longer pestered Chu Ling, but Chu Ling did not let him go so easily. As soon as Tuoba Zan's army left, Chu Ling immediately led his troops out of the pass to meet with Zhu Yaohong and chased Tuoba Zan's army.

As for Huang Jian, who had caused the whole Liangzhou to storm, was almost forgotten. On that day, Tuoba Zan did not shoot Huang Jian with an arrow from afar. Chu Ling found that Huang Jian was really just a person who had eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard. He was not a mysterious figure behind him, and then threw him to the person below. When the Shenyou Army left Zijing Pass, Huang Jian had already escorted him back to Liangcheng. With the Shenyou Army's people there, I guess Huang Jian would never have any chance to cause trouble in his life.

What's more, even if Huang Jian escaped, I'm afraid his life may not be better than being a prisoner. Any bandits and powerful men in Liangzhou area were cheated by Huang Jian this time. Except for those who were killed in that battle, those who escaped by chance also began to clamp their tails and never dared to provoke the Shenyou Army easily. But if Huang Jian ran out himself, it would be fine if they wanted to seek revenge on him. If Huang Jian was smart enough, he knew how he should choose.

When the war in Liangzhou was in a stalemate, Jun Wuhuan, who was far away in Ningzhou, had already fought with Tuoba Yin again. Tuoba Yin was seriously injured in Cangyun City last year, and his shoulder bones could no longer be healed, and one arm was deposed. Therefore, Tuoba Yin naturally understood the importance of playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, and almost never confronted Jun Wuhuan head-on. The two of them only knew their troops and horses, and they fought three times in just half a month and each had their own victory or defeat. For a time, the land of Ningzhou was also trapped in the sky.

"Young Master." When Mingjing found Jun Wuhuan, Jun Wuhuan was standing on the hillside and looking at the North Jin camp in the distance. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head and looked down on the letter in Mingjing's hand and asked, "What happened to Cangyun City?"

Mingjing was stunned, and then nodded heavily, "Su and Mingguang led 60,000 light cavalry to attack Cangyun City, but now it is probably almost here." The news they received was at least three days ago. Even if Cangyun City is far away, Su and Mingguang and his army are far less than the messenger's journey day and night, they will not be too far from Cangyun City at this time.

Jun Wuhuan frowned slightly and lowered his head to think.

Mingjing hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master, Cangyun City cannot be lost. Should I ask the gods to bless the princess..."

"No need." Jun Wuhuan said in a deep voice. Mingjing frowned and said, "But it's too late for us to rush back now. And..." Moreover, it's not so easy for them to escape with Tuoba Yin. The efforts before retreating now were in vain. Jun Wuhuan folded the letter casually and smiled indifferently, "You don't have to worry, I said it's because you don't have to worry."

"The city lord was prepared?" Mingjing was delighted.

Jun Wuhuan said with some regret, "I have learned a lesson last year. Could it be that I will repeat the same mistake this time?" Last year, there was an accident because of the empty military force in Cangyun City. Jun Wuhuan naturally would not ignore it before sending troops."

Mingjing said, "Young Master means..."

Jun Wuhuan said, "A Ling will definitely send someone to delay Su and Mingguang's pace to buy time when he gets this news. You can send a message to A Ling immediately so that she doesn't have to worry, Su and Mingguang will not reach Cangyun City."

Mingjing looked at Jun Wuhuan blankly, and Jun Wuhuan said, "I have Qin Shu's agreement. As long as there are soldiers and horses of the clan approaching Cangyun City within 300 miles of Cangyun City, he must send troops to protect the safety of Cangyun City." Hearing this, Mingjing finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Western Qin Dynasty who are stationed at the border. If the regent of the Western Qin Dynasty gets the news, they will rush to Cangyun City. It is indeed time to stop Su He Mingguang. It is still worth discussing whether the Western Qin people are Su He Mingguang's opponents. Western Qin has always been a country that is good at fighting, and Su He Mingguang is also known as the Wolf Lord of the Demon North, so naturally it is not an easy person.

Jun Wuhuan said calmly, "I don't need Qin Shu to defeat Su He Mingguang. As long as Qin Shu can hold on until Bai Xing back, it's enough. If we're fast enough here, we can even go back and fight Su He Mingguang."

Mingjing only understood this time. The young master did not want Princess Shenyou to face Su and Mingguang directly. Otherwise, with the current situation, even if Tuoba Yin defeated, they should advance all the way to the northeast, instead of turning around and turning back to take care of the affairs of Liangzhou and Cangyun City. As the vanguard, Cangyun Army itself is the most difficult battle and the most powerful enemy. The matters in the rear should naturally be worried by the people behind, otherwise it would be a mess to plan if both ends wanted to take into account.

However, if Princess Shenyou fights Su and Mingguang, the outcome will be unpredictable.

This is naturally not what the young master wants to see.

"Young Master, with Young Master Nangong here, nothing will happen to the princess." Mingjing frowned and said a little disagreeing. He naturally understood that Jun Wuhuan threw Nangong Yuyue to Chu Ling not because Nangong Yuyue was too annoyed, but because Nangong Yuyue was very powerful. Even though Nangong Yuyue had some problems now, he was still very powerful, and he listened to Princess Shenyou very much. With such a master, there would be no danger anywhere in the place where Princess Shenyou was.

"Mingjing." Jun Wuhuan turned around and looked at Mingjing and said in a deep voice.

"Young Master?" Mingjing said respectfully.

Jun Wuhuan sighed lightly and said helplessly, "You should find a girl and get a home."

Mingjing looked at him blankly, not understanding why the young master suddenly mentioned such a thing.

Jun Wuhuan said, "A Ling is amazing, right. I never want to treat her as a delicate flower to protect her in her arms without any storm. But... she is still my wife, the most important person for me. It is no problem to let her do what she wants, or even take risks occasionally. But... I can't really let her face huge dangers or even desperate situations again and again. It is even more impossible to give her safety completely to others."

Mingjing said, "I understand what the young master means, but... if Cangyun Army turns from Ningzhou, will the previous sacrifice be wasted? How should the young master explain to Cangyun Army soldiers and the people of the world?"

Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "When did I say I want Cang Yunjun to turn back?"

Mingjing was stunned, "Young Master is planning to go back alone?"

Jun Wuhuan said, "You are right, this is indeed my own business."

"Young Master, that's not what I mean..." Mingjing said hurriedly.

Jun Wuhuan waved his hand and said, "This is not important, you are right. Send a message to A Ling and tell her that I have my own arrangements in Cangyun City. She just needs to concentrate on dealing with Tuoba Zan. In addition, send an order to Han Tianning and take down Tianshui City within three days."

"Yes, young master." Mingjing bowed and retreated.

Jun Wuhuan looked back at the North Jin camp in the distance and frowned slightly, "Tuoba Yin... is such a difficult character to deal with." In the past few years, Cangyun City and Tuoba Yin were fighting each other, and it was mostly time for Cangyun City to defend the city. Now, when the two armies are really fighting each other, they can only realize Tuoba Yin's ability. It is not unreasonable that Tuoba Yin can be praised as the number one general of the Northern Jin after Tuoba Xingye at a young age. In the past half month, even Jun Wuhuan has not gained much advantage in Tuoba Yin.

However, he must win this battle, and as soon as possible.

This time, A Ling can no longer take risks. Jun Wuhuan said in his heart.

When Chu Ling received Jun Wuhuan's letter, he was besieging Tuoba Zan's army with Xiao Zhu Yaohong in a small town northeast of Liangzhou. Tuoba Zan never expected that one day he would face a situation similar to Baili Qinghong back then. He chased Xiao Zhu, but he didn't expect that Xiao Zhu chose to retreat because he was not afraid of the iron cavalry of the Clan. Xiao Zhu was intentionally guiding them to chase them all the way to the northeast. When everyone reacted, Xiao Zhu suddenly turned around and fought back. Although the two armies had suffered casualties and injuries, neither of them had much advantage. And their retreat had been cut off by Chu Ling and Zhu Yaohong.

The terrain of this place is very strange. It leads to Ningzhou in the northeast, but is blocked by Xiao Shi at the gate. To the east are 100,000 mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles without people. To the west is the most desolate and barren place in Liangzhou. The real yellow sand flying all year round is also the road to the Western Regions and outside the gate. The latter two are not the paths that the Northern Jin army can take. So now Tuoba Zan has only two choices. To defeat Xiao Shi and Chu Ling, he naturally wants to go wherever he wants. Before Chu Ling and Zhu Yaohong chased after him, defeated Xiao Shi and rushed out from the northeast to Ningzhou. But in this way, the first thing Tuoba Zan had to face after entering Ningzhou was Jun Wuhuan and Cangyun Army. Only by crossing Jun Wuhuan and Cangyun Army could he meet with Tuoba Yin.

For a moment, Tuoba Zan fell into a dilemma.

After reading the letter sent by Jun Wuhuan by messenger, Chu Ling couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Zhu Yaohong sat aside and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the princess?"

Chu Ling said Jun Wuhuan's meaning again, Zhu Yaohong smiled and said, "Since the young master had made arrangements, isn't this very good? What else is the princess worried about?" Chu Ling shook her head and said, "I think... Jun Wuhuan just doesn't want me to go to Cangyun City." Zhu Yaohong raised her eyebrows and said, "That's also the young master worried about the princess. I heard that the princess almost had an accident in Cangyun City last year, so the young master naturally doesn't want the princess to take risks again."

Chu Ling smiled helplessly and said, "Where aren't you taking risks on the battlefield?"

Zhu Yaohong said, "You can't say that. There is still a difference between taking risks elsewhere and taking risks for Cangyun City. If the princess is in danger because of Cangyun City three or four times, what do you think about the young master? Moreover, if it weren't for Su and Mingguang, the young master might not be so worried. Ordinary people are not the princess' opponents."

Chu Ling sighed, "It's because it's Su and Mingguang... I couldn't imagine what else could he make to make." If Su and Mingguang were so easy to arrange, she wouldn't have to worry.

Zhu Yaohong said, "What does the princess mean?"

Chu Ling lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and smiled, "Let's deal with Tuoba Zan first."

"What then?" Zhu Yaohong smiled.

Chu Ling curled his lips slightly and smiled, "Since he doesn't want me to go to Cangyun City, why not... let's go to Ningzhou?"

"Go to Ningzhou?" Zhu Yaohong was stunned, "How could the princess want to go to Ningzhou?"

Chu Ling said, "Cangyun Army and Tuoba Yin may not be able to gain much advantage. Since he said there is an arrangement, even if Su and Mingguang cannot be completely solved, there will be no problem for at least a while. Let's help him and then discuss the matter of Cangyun City. Anyway... this place is not far from Ningzhou, right?"

Zhu Yaohong nodded and said, "It seems that it's right." He always felt that these two people were not fighting on the battlefield, but showing how loving they were. This made General Zhu, who is now alone, a little jealous.

"Then do it like this?" Chu Ling smiled happily.

Zhu Yaohong raised his eyebrows and said, "That King Qi doesn't seem to compromise easily. If he insists on his own and refuses to come out, will we attack forcefully?"

I won’t talk about Tuoba Zan’s ability for the time being, but Zhu Yaohong can see that his temperament is a bit awkward. He may go back on his word at any time, but he may also be able to gamble and would rather die than hold on until the end.

Chu Ling touched his chin and thought, "It is said that the people of the Clan are not good at defending the city, and I don't know whether it is true or false."

Zhu Yaohong said, "It should be true that Cangyun Army can attack Liangzhou so quickly?" It is no exaggeration to describe the speed of Cangyun Army's attack on Liangzhou as if it were unstoppable. It almost makes people wonder whether the Cangyun Army is really as powerful as the legendary one.

Chu Ling said, "Then try it first. It's best to be able to defeat it. If it doesn't work, let's think of other ways."

Zhu Yaohong was a little curious, "What method the princess plans to use?"

Chu Ling shook her head and said, "If possible, I don't want to use other methods. We don't have time, and... there may not be any good results. It's better not to use it if you don't have it." Before she finished speaking, Zhu Yaohong was already clear, and then she changed color slightly. She was silent for a moment before she said, "The princess is right."

The permanent population of the small town was less than 20,000, but suddenly nearly 100,000 troops were squeezed into it. Even if the people of the Clan were well prepared for military rations, they would not last long for a long time to stay in the city. Once the Clan was forced into a hurry, what kind of tragedy would happen Zhu Yaohong not only heard of, but also saw it.

Even though he had already rolled back and forth on the battlefield a few times, Zhu Yaohong couldn't help but shivered gently.

"Don't worry, princess, she will definitely take down Tuoba Zan and the Northern Jin army within five days." Zhu Yaohong said in a deep voice.
