Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

Gu Qing pointed to the west side of the map: "Go west and take Linyao City."

Linyao City is a medium-sized city, adjacent to Changping in the northern part of the border.

"But this will lengthen the battle line. Although the vanguard is very fast, it will not be able to reach Linyao City before dawn. If the army moves westward, it is likely to be attacked from the flank by the barbarian cavalry."

Shen Junyan said with disapproval.

Qulin City is more than 200 miles away from Linyao City. Even if they attack all night, let alone whether they can arrive before dawn, the long journey and the fatigue of the soldiers and horses will make it difficult for them to guarantee even 50% of their combat effectiveness.

"Your Highness, I am not discussing this with you. This is a military order."

Gu Qing tapped the map twice with his fingers, making a "dong dong" sound on the table.

These two blows were like knocks on Shen Junyan's heart.

"The king knows."

Shen Junyan's face darkened.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing. I have other arrangements for the Guiyin Army." Gu Qing said again.

"Then how do we break into the city?"

Shen Junyan's face turned even worse.

His 10,000 men are all cavalry, without any siege equipment and without the cooperation of the Ghost Hidden Army. How can they break the city defense formation? Can they force their way through it?

"The Wuwei Division will dispatch a battalion from the Tiangong Division to accompany Your Highness. In addition, I will arrange another 5,000 people with formation-breaking crossbows to assist Your Highness in attacking the city."

Gu Qing spoke of his arrangements without changing his expression.

"The marching speed..."

Shen Junyan gritted his teeth.

This was the Tiangong Department, and they had the Formation-Breaking Crossbow, which slowed down the marching speed greatly. He couldn't just leave them alone, so he led his men to Linyao City and glared at the barbarians.

He always felt that Gu Qing was deliberately targeting him.

Gu Qing, what do you want to do?

"Your Highness, can you capture Linyao City in three days?" Gu Qing asked.

"Yes, one day is enough."

Shen Junyan clenched his fists and replied coldly.

Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Since he doesn't know what the other party wants to do, he can only accept it silently.

It would be best if all this was just an arrangement made by Gu Qing for the overall situation, and not targeting himself.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Junyan climbed onto the Red Fire Tiger Beast, turned his head and said to Qi Ji, "Let's go west to Linyao City!"

"Ah? Linyao City?"

Qi Ji was stunned. According to the plan, it shouldn't be Hedeng City, but how did it become Linyao City?

The distance between the two is more than twice as great. The journey is full of unknowns, and the danger level has doubled in disguise.

"Stop talking nonsense, follow me!"

Shen Junyan glared at Qi Ji.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Qing was assigning tasks to other generals according to the plan. The Guiyin Army's plan to advance to the river and enter the city remained unchanged.

"Marshal Gu!"

Zhuque folded his flaming wings and descended from the sky to the City Lord's Mansion and shouted.

"Mr. Suzaku."

Gu Qing’s current rank and position are on the same level as Zhuque’s, and considering his age, we can just call him Mr.

"Why was His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin sent to the west? Shouldn't he go north to attack Hedeng City?"

Suzaku asked straight to the point.

When he came over, he happened to meet Shen Junyan leaving the city, and the large army was heading westward in a mighty manner.

"There's a temporary change in the plan. We need to put some pressure on the barbarians on the west side to ease the pressure of the barbarian army on Saibei City." Gu Qing explained lightly.

Zhuque narrowed his eyes upon hearing this: "But it would be too risky to let Prince Jin go!"

Shen Junyan's identity is different from other generals. He is the second prince of Daqian.

This identity alone is enough to cause the barbarian army to allocate part of its main force for encirclement and suppression.

Once Shen Junyan is captured, the barbarians will have complete control of the initiative.

"Mr. Suzaku, we need more information about the barbarians' movements. I hope we can gather it as soon as possible."

Gu Qing changed the subject.

"The main force of the barbarian army is entrenched in the second line. Their masters are all gathered there, so it is difficult for our people to penetrate deep into the country. However, the harassment by small groups of elite barbarians can be fully handled by our Wuwei Division." Zhuque took a breath and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Suzaku."

Gu Qing bowed.

"It's my job, so I won't bother Marshal Gu for now."

Zhuque waved his hand, spread his flaming wings and flew away from the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, Gu Qing was the only one left in the huge conference hall, guarding the map.

"Marshal Gu."

Hearing this, Gu Qing turned his head abruptly, saluted and said, "Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy!"

Shen Yian nodded slightly: "I came here to listen to Marshal Gu's arrangements."

He just flew towards Hedeng City and checked the situation. It was almost the same as Qulin City. The city was empty with only a few thousand defenders. The Guiyin Army could take it if they went there.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy."

Gu Qing did not hide anything and told the map about his battle arrangements and plans.

"Is it your majesty's arrangement that the Prince of Jin attack Linyao City?"

Shen Yian glanced at Gu Qing out of the corner of his eye.

Changing plans at short notice is not like Gu Qing's character.

Moreover, the location of Linyao City is very special, and the barbarians will not give up easily. The siege of the city by my second brother may be very difficult to fight.

Once the identity of the second brother is confirmed, the barbarians will definitely send experts to find a way to capture him.

No matter how you look at it, this arrangement seems like using Shen Junyan to fish.

No one else can do this except my old man.

The old man has good intentions.

He knew that he was here. Even if the barbarians sent out powerful people in the Divine Wandering Realm, he now had the Mountain and River Seal in his hand and had a way to protect Shen Junyan.

Fortunately, it’s not some melodrama.

Otherwise, there might be a touching scene of brothers recognizing each other in the end.

As for Shen Junyan's attitude towards him now.

No need to guess, it must be very bad.

If it weren't for me, An Lingyu and the An family wouldn't be so miserable.

As long as An Lingyu exaggerated the matter in her mind, he would be the one who committed the most heinous crime.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy."

Gu Qing nodded without hiding anything.

"I see."

Shen Yian responded indifferently, and in front of Gu Qing, he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.

The strong ones in the Divine Wandering Realm are so terrifying.

Gu Qing sighed inwardly.

After returning to the air, Shen Yian left Yin Zai in Qulin City so that he could meet and take over from another powerful Divine Wandering Realm expert. He himself planned to go to Linyao City.

It wasn't that he wanted to see Shen Junyan get humiliated, he was simply afraid that he would be kidnapped by the barbarians.

After hurrying for a long time, Shen Junyan and his group of more than 15,000 people finally saw the shadow of Linyao City in the distance when the sun rose high in the sky.

Without any unnecessary words, Shen Junyan directly ordered them to rest on the spot, without even setting up tents. He was confident that they could capture Linyao City before dark.

Above the clouds, Shen Yian covered the entire Linyao City with his spiritual sense and raised his eyebrows.

The temperament of these nearly 30,000 barbarian soldiers is completely different from that of the previous defenders of Qulin City.

There are only four knights in the Tianwu realm in the city, and two mages in the Tianwu realm.

Looking at his second brother, there are only three people in the Tianwu realm.

The number of troops and experts is simply multiples different.

For a moment he almost couldn't figure out which side was attacking the city.

(Approximate map, the words are ugly, please forgive me)
