When Chu Zheng hurriedly returned to Lingjiu Palace with Zhu Jian from the underground stone chamber, Qin Ruyun, Guo Xiang, Wu Xingyun and others had been waiting at the exit for a long time. With them, Wei Zhibai, the chief guard who had originally camped at the foot of the mountain.

The few of them looked serious and immediately met Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng felt a sudden slap in his heart. He knew that something must have happened, but he still smiled calmly and asked, "What happened?"

His calm and composed expression subconsciously alleviated the solemn expressions of everyone.

Qin Ruyun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There are three things. The first thing is that the Li family sent troops to attack Suizhou from three directions. It is estimated that the Young General's Army and the Li family's vanguard troops have begun to fight. The second thing is that Liu Wuzhou from Xingzhou and the Li family alliance, sent 30,000 troops and attacked Suizhou from the back. The third thing is that the Mongolian side dispatched more than 30,000 troops to defeat Xiangcheng to restrain them. Let Wei Zhibai talk about it in detail."

Wei Zhibai immediately went forward to salute, sent the latest information and gave the explanation.

This information was delivered only early this morning. Because the Young Marshal's Army and Lingjiu Palace did not establish a letter from Feige, the Young Marshal's Army's intelligence station in Lingzhou, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom received the letter from Feige from Liangdu, and then sent someone to send it over quickly.

Although Chu Zheng was on a half-time vacation, he had been paying attention to the movements of Li's family, so as soon as Wei Zhibai received the information, he rushed over to report immediately.

It turned out that the Li family launched an army of 160,000 half a month ago, claiming to be 500,000. They were led by Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, Qin King Li Shimin, and Left Wu Guard General Li Shentong. They rushed into the border from three directions and attacked Suizhou.

At present, Xu Ziling is still in Chuanzhou, and the Young Commander's Army also divided four groups to meet the enemy. Kou Zhong resisted Li Shimin, Xuan Yong resisted Li Jiancheng, Zuo Xiaoyou and Qin Chaowen resisted Li Shentong, Gao Zhantong and Bai Wenyuan resisted Liu Wuzhou, and the situation is extremely tense.

Chu Zheng frowned slightly.

"160,000 Li family troops, 30,000 Xingzhou soldiers, 30,000 Mongolian troops..." He passed the information in his mind and immediately understood the current situation.

This was expected to launch an attack on the Li family, but I didn't expect to join forces with Liu Wuzhou and Mongolia at the same time.

Previously, the Young Marshal's Army had always used the ancestor of Dugu's family, You Chuhong and his granddaughter Dugu Feng as bargaining chips to negotiate with Li. You Chuhong and Dugu Feng were related to the reputation of Dugu's family. If they were held on for a long time, the Li Marshal would certainly be afraid of the mouse, but it would also arouse the anger of the Dugu's family. Once the critical point is reached, the war will be outbreak. Moreover, if you really kill this old woman and a young girl in the flowery season, it will also have a negative impact on the reputation of the Young Marshal's Army. It would be better to use it for some benefits.

Therefore, after Kou Zhong paid a lot of food, horses, and weapons in exchange for the Li family, he finally released You Chuhong and Dugu Feng.

During this period, the Young Commander Army had been using this time to prepare for war without stopping. Both sides knew that once the negotiations were officially over, it would be when the two major forces started war without reservation.

Mongolia and the Li family were originally secretly forming an alliance. At this time, in order to prevent Xiangcheng from sending troops to raid the Li family's rear route to support the young commander's army, Mongolia launched a 50,000-strong army invasion, which was the only thing that was the subject.

Fortunately, a fire in Nanyang City at Chu Zheng burned down the food and grass accumulated by the Mongolian army for many years, making the Mongolian army lack food and grass. Even if it is re-transported, it cannot support a huge number of troops. Now it can send 30,000 troops, which is almost the limit.

The Mongolian army has always been brave and mainly cavalry. It is difficult for these 30,000 troops to capture Xiangcheng, but it is not difficult to restrain Guo Jing's 30,000 Xiangcheng army.

In addition, Liu Wuzhou's Xingzhou soldiers attacked from behind, the current situation of the Young Commander's Army is indeed not optimistic.

"What is the current situation? Is there any latest news?"

Wei Zhibai shook his head: "The distance is too far, and it is estimated that the latest news of the battle will be two or three days later."

"Okay. Come and report it to me as soon as possible if you have any news."

"Yes." Wei Zhibai wanted to speak but stopped, but finally he took the order and retreated.

Chu Zheng knew what he wanted to ask, probably just wanted to ask when he would return to Liang, but Chu Zheng had other plans for this.

Seeing Chu Zheng thinking, Wu Xingyun said, "Boy, I have to remind you here that your martial arts are high enough now, and it shouldn't be a problem to fight with one person, but don't think about any assassination or capturing of alive in Chang'an City, otherwise you will easily encounter big nails."

Chu Zheng never thought of fighting Huanglong directly. After all, fighting for hegemony is different from fighting in the world. The Young Marshal's Army has always been a positive person. If he attacks the Li family's lord, Tang Emperor Li Yuan will only be regarded as a despicable means and loses the hearts of the people. Things in the world still have to be divided on the battlefield.

Moreover, the survival of the Li family is not related to that court. Even if the court is in trouble, as long as the anger of hundreds of thousands of troops is aroused, the arrogant soldiers and generals of the Li family will lose their restraint and burn, kill and loot everywhere, which will be a great disaster in the world.

However, Chu Zheng was still curious about Wu Xingyun's reminder and asked, "Why did Master say that?"

"Anyone who has been designated as the imperial capital for a long time will have dragon energy gathering to form a great formation of heaven and earth, which will greatly suppress the strength of the great master. Not only Chang'an, Jinling, Yangzhou, Yancheng, and Lingzhou City in Xixia are no exception. If you break into these cities without knowing it, there will be great risks, especially where the imperial city is located, the strongest power of the formation."

Chu Zheng has never heard of such a saying, and it is probably unique to this world. Think about it, even if there are any real gods and god weapons, it is not surprising to have such a dragon energy array.

However, he did not enter Lingzhou City, and had no feelings about it, nor did he listen to Yan Shisan and Xie Xiaofeng mention it - but Yan Shisan and Xie Xiaofeng had not entered the imperial city either.

"I understand, thank you for your reminder."

He turned around and asked Qin Ruyun: "Are you ready for a map?"

"Yes." Qin Ruyun unfolded a rough map on the table, which had already marked the battle situation between the Li family and the Young Marshal's Army with arrows and different symbols.

"There is still too little information at present, and it is difficult to deduce and analyze. I can only simply mark one or two."

Chu Zheng nodded and asked while looking, "How is the training of the Chenxi Army during this period?"

"If Tong Hai, Cheng Sanniu and others have been training strictly as planned, the past six months will be enough to train five thousand elite troops. Do you want to mobilize them to participate in this defensive battle of the Young Commander Army?"

Chu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes."

"No, it will take more than half a month to mobilize these 5,000 troops and prepare food and grass." Qin Ruyun shook her head and said, "And Chenxi Island is too far away, even if you walk on the sea route, it will take nearly a month. The Li family's navy has blocked the coast. Although their strength has been greatly reduced, they are stronger than the navy of Chenxi Island. Even with two sea snakes to help, it is not easy to break through their blockade. Besides, a mere 5,000 troops will not play a big role in the face of more than 100,000 troops."

"What if I have a way to let them appear directly in Xiangcheng?" Chu Zheng pointed his finger in Xiangcheng.

Qin Ruyun's eyes lit up. At present, the Li family advanced in three directions, including 50,000 troops from Huzhou and Chuanzhou, which were adjacent to Xiangcheng. They were led by Qin King Li Shimin, including the most elite Xuanjialing cavalry. For this reason, Kou Zhong had to personally lead the elite Feiyun Guard of the Young Commander's Army to fight and hold on to the dangerous position at Shengcheng Pass.

If Chu Zheng's Chenxi Army could accidentally attack Li Shimin's army from behind from Xiangcheng and cut off its food route, it would at least cause chaos, and it would be better to attack Kou Zhong in front and behind and achieve a great victory.

"The Chenxi Army does not grow wings, how can it suddenly appear in Xiangcheng?" Qin Ruyun looked at Chu Zheng: "Do you have a way?"

"Yes, I have a [Telection Formation Token] created by the ancient true god Fuxi." Chu Zheng explained the purpose of the [Telection Formation Token].
