The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

After the host and the guest sat down in order, Duan Tianyang raised his lips and asked, "Two generals, are you coming out in full force this time to lead the entire army to Saint Luo City?"

An Qinshan and Dong Zhi exchanged a meaningful look, and An Qinshan replied solemnly: "That's right, one hundred thousand soldiers from our two families are stationed outside the city at this moment. If you have any doubts, you can send someone to check."

Duan Tianyang smiled even more when he heard this, and waved his hand gently: "That's not necessary, the two generals are sincere, I believe it without a doubt."

After that, he changed the subject slightly, his tone revealing some deep meaning: "In the future, the soldiers under your command will still be led by you two in person. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Dong Zhi and An Qinshan looked at each other, their shock evident in their words.

They thought that after surrendering to the Hongxing Army, they would lose their military power and were lucky to be appointed as a corps commander.

Unexpectedly, Duan Tianyang not only did not strip him of his power, but returned his people intact. This trust and magnanimity was unprecedented and moving.

Dong Zhi and An Qinshan sat there, unable to react for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Wen Daozun, Chi Xun and Li Jiu's expressions suddenly changed. They all frowned at the same time, secretly worried.

How can you allow these two to continue to lead your troops? The lessons of the past are still fresh in our minds. Fang Quan's case has fully demonstrated the harm of this action. Do you really want to repeat the same mistake?

Wen Daozun cleared his throat deeply, trying to remind Duan Tianyang.

At present, Fang Quan is already a major hidden danger. If Dong Zhi and An Qinshan are added, the future of the Hongxing Army will be torn apart.

However, Duan Tianyang turned a deaf ear to him and didn't even look at him. He smiled at Dong Zhi and An Qinshan who were still in a daze and asked with a smile: "Do the two generals have any doubts?"

When these words were spoken, Dong Zhi and An Qinshan suddenly woke up, their bodies trembled, and they quickly shook their heads to deny it.

They quickly stood up, and An Qinshan knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and expressed his loyalty to Duan Tianyang: "Your Excellency's trust in me, I am deeply grateful, and I am willing to follow you to the death, even if it means death!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhi also knelt on one knee, saluted with his hands, and said earnestly: "I am willing to follow you till death, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Duan Tianyang waved his hand, signaling Dong Zhi and An Qinshan to stand up, and said in a gentle tone: "Generals, please stand up. Since you have joined our Hongxing Army, you are brothers. Why do you have to be so formal?"

"Thank you, sir!" Dong Zhi and An Qinshan stood up, their faces full of joy, unable to hide their excitement.

They had never expected that after surrendering to the Hongxing Army, not only did they not lose their military power, but they were instead given important positions. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

As night fell, the city lord's mansion was brightly lit, and Duan Tianyang hosted a banquet to entertain the newly joined Dong Zhi and An Qinshan.

During the banquet, he treated the two with courtesy, provided them with delicious food and fine wine, and showed his sincerity.

Dong and An were touched by his hospitality and praised Duan Tianyang highly, feeling that joining Hongxing was a wise move.

After the banquet, Wen Daozun, Guan Hu and others found Duan Tianyang. Wen Daozun was the first to ask, "What is the meaning of this action, sir?"

Guan Hu and others were also impatient: "Brother Tian, ​​Fang Quan's matter is still before us, how can we let these two continue to lead the army?"

Duan Tianyang looked around at everyone, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he said slowly: "Have you ever thought about this? Although Dong Zhi and An Qinshan are fence-sitters, if their military power is deprived, what will those rebels who are still waiting and watching feel? Will they still choose to join our army?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, then suddenly realized what was going on and asked in unison, "Brother Tian, ​​is this a temporary solution?"

Duan Tianyang did not respond directly, but continued: "The war in Xiguan has lasted too long, it is time to put an end to this dispute. If we can induce them to surrender without spending a single soldier, why not do it?"

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Guan Hu asked unwillingly, "Brother Tian, ​​what should we do with Fang Quan? Should we just let him become powerful in Dongguan?"

After Fang Quan successfully captured Jinluo Town and incorporated Deng Guang's cavalry, he did not choose to stay in Xiguan or go to Shengluo City, but decisively led the large army back to Dongguan.

In response, Duan Tianyang smiled calmly and turned to Guan Hu: "Tiger, what do you think about this?"

"It should be eradicated as soon as possible to prevent future troubles."

Duan Tianyang chuckled after hearing this, but did not comment: "Now our army has taken control of the entire Xiguan area. This is a moment worth celebrating. We should write a letter to General Fang and invite him to Shengluo City to celebrate this moment of victory together!"

Upon hearing that Duan Tianyang had invited Fang Quan to go to Shengluo City to celebrate together, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Wen Daozun asked doubtfully, "Do you think Fang Quan will come to Shengluo City?"

Duan Tianyang looked confused and asked, "Why not?"

Wen Daozun didn't know whether Duan Tianyang was really confused or just pretending to be confused...

At this moment, Chi Xun said solemnly: "If Fang Quan is unwilling to come, I will go to Dongguan to invite him in person."

He knew that this was trouble he had caused, and he also knew that it was his responsibility to solve it.

Duan Tianyang raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Mr. Chi and General Fang have a deep friendship. If Mr. Chi invites Fang Quan, I believe he will definitely come."

However, Wen Daozun and Li Jiutong showed worried smiles.

Fang Quan has now become disloyal, and even if Chi Xun has a good personal relationship with him, he may not take the risk to come to Shengluo City.

In this matter, except Duan Tianyang, no one else had much hope.

When the letter reached Dongguan, Fang Quan immediately summoned his trusted advisers and generals to discuss countermeasures.

"General, perhaps you can use your illness as an excuse to decline this invitation." These words came from Chen Yuan, Fang Quan's think tank.

Fang Quan stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Chen, do you think Duan Tianyang has evil intentions in inviting me to Shengluo City?"

Before he could finish his words, a burly general stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "We have 80,000 elite soldiers at our disposal. Why should we be afraid of Duan Tianyang? If there is a conflict, we can just go our separate ways."

Chen Yuan shook his head slowly, saying in a long tone: "Dong Zhi and An Qinshan have now surrendered to Duan Tianyang. They have a force of 100,000 men under their command. We must be on guard."

Fang Quan tapped his forehead with his fingertips, his expression solemn: "I am not worried that Duan Tianyang will harm me when I go to Shengluo City. What I am worried about is that he will ask me for Deng Guang's more than 10,000 elite cavalry."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Fang Quan looked around and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Where is Cheng'er now?"

The Cheng'er he was talking about was his nephew Fang Fengcheng, who was known as the best general in Fang Quan's army.

His master is Yuan Yin, the elder of Tongtian Pavilion, and his martial arts skills are far beyond those of ordinary people.

A general stood up straight and bowed respectfully to Fang Quan, saying, "General, General Fengcheng has gone to Qifeng Mountain to suppress the bandits."

Fang Quan was stunned when he heard this: "Cheng'er went to Qifeng Mountain to suppress the bandits? I didn't order him to go."

The general explained, "General Fengcheng said that the bandit problem in Qifeng Mountain must be eliminated sooner or later. He happened to have nothing to do, so he went there."

Fang Quan asked: "How many people did he bring?"

The general replied: "I didn't bring any soldiers with me."

Fang Quan was surprised: "He went alone?"

The general replied affirmatively: "Yes, General Fengcheng said that he alone is enough to wipe out the bandits."
