Chapter 364 Situation in Dongzhou and Xizhou

In the light screen, Pang Yunyi raised his eyebrows and tilted his chin up, but his gaze did not fall on the person in front of him.

Xu Zhen, sitting opposite him, remained calm and even had the leisure to pat the small insects off his clothes.

“Pang Yunyi, General Pang. This is Dongzhou. Although the terrain is treacherous and the mountain roads are difficult to travel, the He Kingdom is just ahead of us. Why do you think I’m joking with you?”

"You know the mountain roads are treacherous? Then why did you send us on patrol?"

"May I ask, General Pang, what is the purpose of our visit here?"

"Guard Dongzhou and do not let the people of the Brown Kingdom set foot in an inch."

“Then let’s go on patrol,” Xu Zhen said, pulling his thick cloak tighter around his neck. For someone like him who lacked internal strength, the weather on the mountain was still too cold. “His Highness sent an urgent letter, isn’t that enough to make you take it seriously?”

"Hmph! All you can do is wave His Highness's banner?"

"Qi Yongji is not a man who plays by the rules. His purpose in sending Mo Sheng to the border is still unknown. We do not know his whereabouts. If we do not strengthen our defenses, who will take responsibility if something happens?"

"That sounds nice, but it's not you who's going on patrol, it's my men. In this awful weather, who can stand it? If you get tired from patrolling, that's just deliberately revealing your weakness."

Inside the Hezheng Hall, Zheng Xun suddenly chuckled softly.

Pang Yunyi is quite good at putting on an act. He deliberately caused a lot of trouble in the capital before finally compromising with Xu Zhen. It turns out it was all an act.

[Having achieved their goal, upon arriving in Dongzhou, their true colors were immediately revealed.]

[Xu Zhen may well know this too; he claims he can control this mad dog, Pang Yunyi, but it's unclear how he'll actually do it.]

Zheng Xun values ​​results more. She can turn a blind eye to whether they lie to her or not, but if it delays important matters...

In the light screen, Xu Zhen's tone was serious: "I know, so the patrol method needs to be changed. His Highness said we need to conceal our tracks, so we can't be discovered. Therefore, we need to break up the usual small teams. Also, I recently visited the local people and hunters in the mountains and asked them for some medicinal wine and equipment. These things need to be prepared for our soldiers. I drew a simple map and identified several important passes. The terrain is good, and they are located on the only routes to and from these passes..."

He considered everything meticulously, just like a mother sending her child off to war.

The mocking look on Pang Yunyi's face gradually faded.

After listening, he remained silent for a moment before asking, "Anything else?"

Outside the light screen, Zheng Xun smiled with satisfaction.

Pang Yunyi was not a stone. Although he was born with a rebellious streak, it couldn't stop him from wanting to fight the Brown Kingdom.

Once Xu Zhen's goal aligns with his, he will no longer act recklessly.

Sending Xu Zhen to Dongzhou was indeed the right decision.

The light screen then switched to Xizhou.

"General, would Mo Sheng really come to this godforsaken place?"

Jianyang weighed the water in his hand: "Although I don't want to admit it, compared to He Jiajun and Pang Yunyi, I, Jianyang, still look like an easy target."

"what?"

The Red Eagle Army soldiers who were setting up the trap all looked at her, their expressions somewhat subtle.

Soft persimmon?

Do their generals have some misunderstanding about themselves?

Jianyang glanced up at the sunlight: "It's getting late today, and a strong wind is expected later. Girls, give it your all, the best and fastest work will be rewarded..."

She was speaking when her expression suddenly changed.

She heard a commotion in the distance.

She straightened up, her sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on the direction from which the sound came.

A gust of sandstorm approached, and a Red Eagle Army soldier on horseback galloped up to them.

After tightening the reins, before she could even dismount, her voice rang out: "General! Someone is approaching in our direction! About twelve li from here!"
