Qian Feng and the others all looked unhappy. They even wanted the general to come and greet them. Who the hell did he think he was!

Wei Dongzhu said coldly: "The three Turkic tribes have been making frequent inquiries, and General Shen has left the city to deal with them."

Instead of praising her, Zhou Ru'an frowned and asked, "Didn't we ask her to go recruit soldiers? Why did she leave her post and go out of the city without permission? You have so many men here, why did you let a woman go? Wouldn't the three Turkic tribes look down on our Great Zhou when they see that we only sent a woman?"

Zhou Ru'an became furious when he thought that the war in the northwest might change because of Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi really has no self-awareness at all. Are women necessary in war?

Doesn't she know that she is a woman, which will only make the three Turkic tribes laugh at them for having no one in the Great Zhou?

Wei Dongzhu said coldly: "Before the Second Prince came, the Zhenbei Army was commanded by General Shen alone, which is why they were able to recapture a city in such a short time!"

When Zhou Ru'an heard Wei Dongzhu say this, his face instantly turned cold. He thought he had already subdued Wei Dongzhu on the way to borrow grain, but he didn't expect that Wei Dongzhu would actually speak for Shen Lanxi.

Is it that a hero is tempted by beauty, or have the two already formed a private alliance?

When Zhou Ru'an thought of Shen Lanxi's face, the corners of his mouth turned down. Compared with Shen Lanxi, the two people around him were indeed mediocre.

"Second Prince, there are so many men here, how can you let women go to the battlefield? My father has told us since we were young that letting women go to the battlefield is unlucky and that the war will most likely be lost." Sun Miaoling leaned close to Zhou Ru'an's ear and said.

Zhou Ru'an glanced at Qian Feng and the others: "Aren't you still here? Why don't you go? Why let Shen Lanxi go?"

Qian Feng suppressed his anger and said, "We want to go too, but we have to resist strong enemies and cannot go to deal with the three Turkic tribes."

Zhou Ru'an didn't believe it: "What powerful enemy? Apart from the three Turkic tribes, where else can there be a powerful enemy?"

Qian Feng: "I guess the Second Prince has heard of Northwest King Liang Shao?"

Of course I've heard of that damn Northwest King. He's just a mob leader and a traitor.

“Of course I know.”

Qian Feng: "Liang Shao is leading his army outside Huangtu City."

Zhou Ru'an's heart skipped a beat, thinking he had misheard, and hurriedly asked again, "Are you sure it's Northwest King Liang Shao?"

Qian Feng: "I'm sure Liang Shao has sent a messenger here before. He wants to bring people to join our Zhenbei Army!"

Zhou Ru'an didn't believe it.

"It's a trap, definitely a trap. Wasn't he fighting Zhou Ruyuan in Dongchuan? Why did he suddenly come here? Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to seize the northwest?"

Qian Feng: "My subordinates think so too, so General Shen will deal with the three Turkic tribes, and we will stay behind to guard the city. This can also be regarded as a deterrent to Liang Shao. When he sees that our army has not all left the city, he will definitely not dare to act rashly!"

Zhou Ru'an originally wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Shen Lanxi, but now it seems that it is not the right time.

"Go into the city first."

"Yes!"

It would be terrible if Liang Shao wanted to kidnap him and use him to threaten the Zhenbei Army.

Zhou Ru'an still complained that the speed was too slow and urged those who were accompanying him to whip their horses faster and go into the city.

Seeing that Zhou Ru'an looked unhappy, Sun Miaoling and Chen Mianmian looked at each other and then kept their mouths shut.

……

Shen Lanxi received news that the three Turkic tribes dared to send troops to Qinglong Lake to massacre civilians. This was an unforgivable crime!

Shen Lanxi ordered: "Today, my Zhenbei Army will go on a killing spree. If any foreigner dares to step into the territory of my Great Zhou, they will be annihilated without a single drop of life!"

The Zhenbei Army had not fought a war for several months. Without a war, there would be no income and no chance for promotion. When they heard Shen Lanxi say this, they cheered and kept volunteering.

Che Mingyuan thought of Liang Shao outside the city, and a plan came to his mind.

"Don't worry, General. I have a plan."

Shen Lanxi: "Please speak!"

Che Mingyuan: "Didn't Liang Shao say he wanted to join our Zhenbei Army? Now is the best opportunity for him to show his loyalty!"

Shen Lanxi's eyes moved and she understood what Che Mingyuan meant.

"Do you want Liang Shao to send troops to wipe out the three clans?"

Che Mingyuan smiled faintly and explained: "If he attacks the three Turkic tribes, it means he has a blood feud with them. This will cut off the possibility of Liang Shao switching to the three Turkic tribes!"

It was also a test. If Liang Shao dared to destroy the forces of the three tribes, it would mean that he had no alliance with the three Turkic tribes!

Shen Lanxi's eyes lit up, and she praised: "There must be a teacher among three people. If anyone has a good plan, please tell me. I am not a dictatorial and intolerant person!"

Xiao Fang took the lead and said: "The general is wise and brave, the best in the world!"

The others immediately followed Xiao Fang and shouted.

After the cheers died down, Shen Lanxi said, "This is a great idea. Military Advisor Che has made an indelible contribution. I have said before that meritorious service must be rewarded. I will reward Military Advisor Che with 5,000 taels of silver. You can pick any two items from our warehouse!"

Che Mingyuan immediately raised his voice and said, "Thank you for the reward, General. I would be very honored to refuse it!"

Shen Lanxi immediately sent someone to deliver the message to Liang Shao, then selected three thousand soldiers and headed straight for Qinglong Lake.

The Qinglong Lake water diversion project has been under construction. There are not only civilians there, but also soldiers of the Zhenbei Army.

Shen Lanxi met the coalition forces of three Turkic tribes halfway through her journey.

"General, the coalition forces of the three Turkic tribes are ahead!" the scout came on horseback to report.

Che Mingyuan frowned: "It looks like we won't be able to wait for Liang Shao's men."

Xiao Fang stepped forward and said, "General, I request a fight."

Shen Lanxi asked Qian Feng to stand by and asked the scout, "How many troops are there in the three-tribe coalition?"

Scout: "About 5,000 people."

Shen Lanxi sneered: "For a small Qinglong Lake, they are willing to use troops!"

Che Mingyuan pondered and said, "I'm afraid this move is intended to warn us!"

Xiao Fang said anxiously: "General, I only need two thousand soldiers and horses to bury all five thousand soldiers of the three tribes here!"

Shen Lanxi: "Explore again!"

Che Mingyuan comforted Xiao Fang and said, "Don't you understand? Wiping out the three tribes is not our main goal today!"

The main purpose today is to make Liang Shao surrender.

Xiao Fang said impatiently: "Liang Shao is really so slow. Is he sincere in joining our Zhenbei Army?"

Che Mingyuan: "Why are you in such a hurry? Hasn't the three tribes' coalition forces arrived yet?"

Xiao Fangxin thought that Liu Yanhui and Wei Dongzhu all had things to do, and he was the only one sitting idle in the army. If it were Che Mingyuan, he would see his colleagues all making contributions, but he was the only one who had no achievements. If it were him, he would wonder if he would be anxious!

There was a rumbling sound of the ground and the sound of horse hooves.

The scout came quickly to report: "General, Liang Shao's troops are coming, he is here personally with the troops!"

Shen Lanxi: "Be on guard!"

Xiao Fang immediately passed the order down.

Liang Shao came forward with his troops in the blink of an eye, and Shen Lanxi greeted them loudly!

"I didn't expect that the King of the Northwest would come in person. Qinglong Lake is now glorious!"

Liang Shao stopped his troops fifty meters away and advanced alone.

"General Shen gave me the chance, and I accepted it. After I kill all the foreigners, I will talk to you properly!"
