The enemy was in chaos, but the situation was tense.

Ji Gang led the army and quickly passed through Yuanzhou within three days. At the border between Yuanzhou and Mingzhou, Ji Gang personally released Qian Zhen and Chen Yunxuan.

Qian Zhen, who got off the carriage, looked at Ji Gang in front of him and said slowly: "Commander Ji is a talented person. Why don't you abandon the dark and join the Third Prince's army and create a great cause with us? The Third Prince will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."

Chen Yunxuan was not stupid either. He quickly said: "What Qian Sikong said is very true. As long as Commander Ji is willing to come to my side, he will have a high position and generous salary in the future."

Ji Gang said without any ripples on his face: "Since I have chosen the Sixth Prince, I will not waver. Thank you for your appreciation, His Highness the Third Prince, but I am sorry that I cannot obey your order."

Seeing this, Qian Zhen had no choice but to nod his head helplessly. The two thousand soldiers under his command had also regained their freedom and their armor and weapons were returned. Qian Zhen, under the protection of the Qin soldiers, went all the way to the Yuanzhou Army that followed Ji Gang's army closely.

In the forest not far away, a black shadow saw Qian Zhen leaving and quickly disappeared. Ji Gang looked at the direction where the black shadow disappeared thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "A strong man in the Martial Emperor Realm, it seems that Qian Zhen has some background."

"The whole army is moving forward, the target is Wuzhou!"

Seven days later, Ji Gang finally led the army back to Wuzhou, and came to Wuzhou Prefecture as soon as possible to report the situation to the Sixth Prince Chen Yunque.

"What did you say! You let Qian Zhen and the Third Prince go! In this way, what's the point of taking them out of the court at the cost of the troops!"

Cheng Yu was furious, his eyes wide open, staring at Ji Gang viciously.

You Hong also sneered with a gloomy face: "Your 50,000 troops took Qian Zhen out of the capital, and you let the tiger go back to the mountains when you encountered a little resistance. Do you have evil intentions?"

Ji Gang did not give in and said: "The three states have a total of 200,000 troops, and we only have 50,000. If you don't release Qian Zhen, do you want me and my soldiers to die on the battlefield?"

"You can't let him go easily. Your 50,000 prison soldiers are called elite, but I think they are just trash!"

Ji Gang drew his sword in an instant, pointed the blade at Cheng Yu, and said coldly: "What did you say? I'll give you a chance to say it again."

Without waiting for Cheng Yu to speak, Chen Yunque stood up and smashed the teacup in his hand without any warning.

"Alright! It's not appropriate to make a scene. Facing an army of 200,000, it's best to preserve our own strength. Let's forget about this matter and no one should mention it anymore."

Chen Yunque forced a smile and looked at Ji Gang and said, "Commander Ji has been very tired all the way. Go down and have a good rest. I have asked people to prepare a banquet. Let's get together in the evening."

Ji Gang nodded, saluted Chen Yunque, and turned to leave.

Chen Yunque turned around, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said to Cheng Yu: "Even if Ji Gang did something wrong, you can't have any conflict with him face to face. At present, the 50,000 prison guards are one of our biggest trump cards, understand?"

Cheng Yu was unconvinced and said: "Your Highness, the prison guards are too perfunctory. They didn't even say a word when they met Qian Zhen's army. It's really unreasonable."

Chen Yunque slowly said: "Although the prison guards are elite, they will inevitably suffer losses when facing the large number of troops from the three states. It is reasonable for Ji Gang to want to preserve his strength."

"But if Qian Zhen and the third prince fall into our hands, we can completely hold the emperor hostage and command the princes, mobilize the hundreds of thousands of troops in Qian Zhen's hands, and compete with the eldest prince."

Chen Yunque shook his head "In fact, we are not without gain this time. It is enough to rescue Qian Zhen. In this way, Big Brother will not be able to focus on me. On the contrary, if Qian Zhen is captured, we will have no power to resist Big Brother."

"Now that the situation in Tingjing has been determined, my uncle in Luzhou will definitely support Big Brother. Although Qian Zhen has the power to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, my big brother is far-sighted and must have a way to deal with it. We must also quickly win over the Qin army, which is the best strategy."

"But before that, I want to meet Murong Junwu first!"

Since Murong Junwu handed over the 50,000 prison soldiers to Ji Gang, he has been hiding. No one knows where he is, and he has never had any communication with Chen Yunque. Murong Junwu's move made Chen Yunque feel a little uncertain.

He must meet Murong Junwu to determine the other party's attitude.

Two days later, Murong Junwu, dressed in coarse cloth, looked solemn and walked into the state government with a fish basket.

Seeing Murong Junwu coming in, Chen Yunque hurriedly stood up to greet him and said, "Uncle Murong is here.

I haven't seen Uncle Murong for many years. When I saw him today, he was still as charming as ever. "

Murong Junwu stood tall in front of Chen Yunque, bowed slightly and said: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, don't be polite. What do you want to discuss with me? Just tell me directly."

Chen Yunque pondered and said: "Uncle Murong is a master of the Martial Emperor Realm. If Uncle Murong leads the prison army in person, I will feel much more at ease. Although Ji Gang is talented, he is not as stable as Uncle Murong."

Murong Junwu smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, don't worry. If I need to take action, I will definitely die without hesitation."

Chen Yunque nodded, and changed the subject: "Uncle Murong, you also know that compared with my eldest brother and third brother, the troops I have are stretched to the limit. Can I ask Murong Ying and Murong Jie to help me? "

Murong Junwu's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Since Your Highness has opened his mouth, when necessary, my son will definitely lead the troops to come and add bargaining chips for Your Highness."

The two talked happily. Half an hour later, Murong Junwu took his leave, and Chen Yunque personally sent Murong Junwu out of the state.

Murong Junwu did not delay at all and went directly back to the prison station.

"Master Si, His Highness the Sixth Prince suddenly wants to see you. What is the important matter?"

Murong Junwu picked up the teacup, drank a sip of hot tea, and said to Ji Gang: "This Sixth Prince is very complicated. His words implicitly explained that he was not comfortable with the action of the prison army this time, and suddenly asked Ying'er and Jie'er, saying that he hoped they would lead troops to help. This is to test my attitude. "

Murong Junwu has two sons. The eldest son, Murong Ying, is the governor of Guanzhou in the south and the governor of the army. He is a frontier official who controls the military and political affairs. He is also the only exception in the Beiting Dynasty.

The second son, Murong Jie, is a third-rank general who suppresses bandits. Although he is called a general, it is actually a sinecure. He has only 20,000 men under his command. Wherever the bandit problem is serious, he will mobilize the army to help the local troops to eliminate the bandit problem.

Ji Gang's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance: "It seems that the Sixth Prince is not at ease with us. The reason why he wants to see the Lord Sizhu is to take a reassurance pill."

Murong Junwu nodded and said: "I have expressed my attitude sincerely. In the future, the Sixth Prince should be able to let down some of his guard against us."

In the state government, Chen Yunque sat quietly for a while, and suddenly called Cheng Yu to order: "Now that Murong Junwu has made his attitude clear, our focus should be on winning over the Qin army. Send a message back to the five southern states and let the major clans immediately raise a large amount of silver bills. The more the better. "

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Your Highness, I will arrange it right away."
