Translator: 549690339 

Although there were tens of thousands of troops in the barren County, this small number of troops was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood in front of the Zhou Army. It was not enough.

Although he was anxious, he had no other choice.

The Imperial court’s decree had yet to arrive. If he dared to privately mobilize his soldiers, the price would be too great.

He was not the only one who was unlucky.

Most of the people in the kun Peng camp would be wiped out.

Even their families would not be able to escape this calamity. They might even have their entire family executed.

It was worth mentioning.

The great Xia Army was separated from the Imperial court, and they each minded their own business.

The garrison troops could not interfere with the local government affairs. Even he, the Marquis of Eastern desolation, who controlled the armies of several provinces and defended against foreign enemies, could not interfere with the internal affairs of the country.

Once he was stabbed, he would not have a good time.

At the same time.

Apart from the longtai camp, the other four camps would rotate once every three years, and sometimes they would be transferred back to the Imperial court.

There were also invigilators in the camp who were in charge of politics.

He would do some ideological work on the soldiers and generals and spread the word that they were loyal to Emperor Shengwen.

There was only one purpose in doing this, which was to prevent them from building up their own troops and establishing their own provinces.

In the middle Camp tent.

A middle-aged man in purple-gold armor with a sword on the table sat there. He had a resolute face and was not angry. He gave off a powerful aura.

His name was hun Wulian. He was the Marquis of the eastern desolation, the East-defending general, and the leader of the kun Peng camp.

On his left sat an old general. His surname was Xia, the surname of the great Xia Kingdom. However, he had no relations with the royal family. His name was Xia Zheng. His name was quite upright, and it sounded like he was filled with righteousness and had a firm and unyielding character.

He was the supervising general and was in charge of the ideological work in the kun Peng camp.

Other than the Marquis of the East wilderness, he was the most powerful man in the kun Peng camp.

Although he didn’t command an Army, he still couldn’t be underestimated.

“Lord Marquis, is there still no news from the higher-ups?” Xia Zheng asked in a deep voice.

“Yes.” The Marquis of East wilderness responded expressionlessly.

“The news has already been sent seven days. If we count the time, news from the Imperial court should arrive soon.”

“I heard that His Majesty is unconscious. Without His Majesty’s decree, who would dare to risk this great taboo and order us to send troops?” Xia Zheng’s face was filled with worry.

The Marquis of the East desolation Kingdom rubbed his head. This mess made the generals at the border restless.

“Let’s wait!”

“If the Zhou Army takes action at this time, by the time the Imperial court’s news comes, the barren County will have already fallen. Without the barren County as a gateway, the Yingzhou gate will be exposed in front of them. As long as they take down Shangqing County, Yingzhou will be in danger!”

“I also know what you’re talking about! But no one can bear the consequences of sending out troops without the decree of the Imperial court. ” The Marquis of Eastern desolation shook his head.

“What if Later Zhou makes a move at this time?” Xia Zheng voiced out the worry in his heart.

The Marquis of Eastern desolation did not say anything, but his gaze turned even colder.

Xia Zheng could already guess the answer when he saw her expression.

His jinx was very effective. At this moment, a Deputy general rushed in from outside.

The man was called Pei Yuanqing, the East vanquishing general, one of the Deputy generals of the Kunpeng general, and a high-ranking general. If the Marquis of donghuang was not present, the Deputy generals would discuss and deal with the generals in the camp.

His face was filled with urgency.

He rushed in hurriedly and didn’t even bother to bow. He said hurriedly,”there’s an urgent report from the barren County. The Zhou nation has made their move. 300000 troops, in addition to other Special Troops and martial arts powerhouses, have crossed the barren River and are charging towards the barren County. I’m afraid there’s a fierce battle going on in Barren County right now. ”

“Lord Marquis is still waiting?” Xia Zheng asked impatiently.

Pei Yuanqing was also anxious.”Lord Marquis, we can’t wait any longer. The longer we wait, the more disadvantageous it will be for us!” If he waited any longer, he didn’t know when the Imperial court’s decree would arrive. By that time, the cucumbers would have turned cold. The soldiers and civilians of the barren County would have all died in battle. Even the nearby counties would have been taken down by them! In the worst case scenario, Shangqing County will fall!”

“I know everything you’ve just said!” The Marquis of the East desolation was expressionless and his eyes were cold.

“But have you ever thought about what will happen to you if you send out your troops without the Imperial court’s decree and wait for the war to end?”

The two of them were silent.

They were not afraid of death, but they had to consider the generals and officers below them.

Once the Zhou Army was driven out, no one in power would be able to tolerate them.

Who knew how many people would die!

Plop!

Pei Yuanqing knelt on the ground, his face determined.”I’m all alone. I’ll die! Lord Marquis, please give the order for me to lead my troops to the barren County and kill all these Zhou country bastards!”

Bang! Bang!

The Marquis of the East desolation slammed the table with a cold face and scolded,”are you the only one who’s not afraid of death?”

She was so angry that she stood up from the couch.

“Go and ask the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the camp of kun Peng. From me to the ordinary soldiers, who is afraid of death?”

“Are we just going to watch? Looking at the soldiers of the barren County and the countless people dying under the blades of Zhou? As a soldier, please forgive me for not being able to do it!” Pei Yuanqing roared.

“Shut up!” The Marquis of Eastern wilderness berated.

Seeing that he was angry, Pei Yuanqing did not dare to provoke him any further.

In the kun Peng camp, the Marquis of Eastern desolation was highly respected. Other than his cultivation, he was also very good at military strategy. No one from the top to the bottom was unconvinced of him.

“Lord Marquis really can not drag this on any longer.” Xia Zheng persuaded.

“If we rush over now, even if the barren County is lost, we can still use Shangqing County as a defense to block the Zhou Army. If they delayed any longer, once the Zhou Army swept through and took down Shangqing County, the entire Yingzhou would be in danger! At that time, no matter if they send their Army to the East or to the West, they’ll expand the battlefield. The people in several provinces will have no means of living, and countless people will die tragically under their blades!”
