Chapter 150 Northern Qiang Sends Out Troops

The general's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he stared into the distance. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what do you need my instructions for?"

Jiang Chen slowly turned around, his face calm but with a hint of worry in his eyes. "I dare not give any orders, but the two young masters of the Zhong family are trapped on the flanks, and the Northern Qiang troops have not yet officially attacked Gaochang. Time is very tight for us."

The general frowned slightly, clearly deeply concerned. "Your Highness, do you want me to temporarily hold back the Western Regions' frontal forces to buy time for the Northern Qiang to attack Gaochang?"

Jiang Chen nodded, his eyes filled with determination: "Yes, we must use the main force of Daliang to hold back the Huben Army in the Western Regions, preventing them from quickly returning to defend, allowing the Northern Qiang to attack Gaochang, thus giving the Zhong family army on the flank a chance to escape.

The main force of the Western Regions cannot be underestimated, but as long as we stabilize the situation, they will be unable to divert troops to support Gaochang."

The general pondered for a moment, then smiled. "Leave it to me. The Western Region Army may be strong, but they may not be able to attack with all their might. I will do my best to hold them back."

Jiang Chen looked at Zhong Wenbin's resolute face, and a trace of respect rose in his heart. He gently patted the general's shoulder, his voice full of trust: "Thank you, General."

After receiving the order, Zhong Wenbin took the main force into action quickly, preparing to carry out a diversionary operation against the Western Region Army.

At the same time, Deng Yunde rushed to the Beiqiang camp without stopping.

He knew that this trip was crucial. If the Northern Qiang army could attack Gaochang as Jiang Chen said, they would be able to completely tear apart the defense line of the Western Regions and save the lives of the two young masters of the Zhong family.

After arriving at the Beiqiang camp, Deng Yunde was stopped by Beiqiang sentries.

The sentries were tall and looked at Deng Yunde with vigilance. One of them even sneered, "Where did you come from, little bastard, to dare to break into our Northern Qiang camp alone?"

"Sir! Please inform me that I need to see the Third Princess again!"

"Where did this wild boy come from? Do you think you can meet the third princess of our Beiqiang just by saying so?" One of the fat sentries looked at Deng Yunde with disgust.

"Are you a traitor from the Western Regions? Or a spy from Daliang?" said another burly sentry, holding his spear against his chest, his eyes full of vigilance!

Deng Yunde tried to explain, but the two simply didn't believe him.

Just when the situation was tense, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves and a figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Stop!" With a clear voice, Yelu Pei'er, dressed in military uniform, rode over on horseback.

When the sentries saw that it was the maid of the third princess Yelu Mengmeng, they quickly made way.

Yelu Pei'er frowned and glanced at the sentries, then walked straight towards Deng Yunde and smiled slightly: "This is the Third Princess's distinguished guest, how can you be so rude?"

Deng Yunde bowed slightly and said, "Thank you Miss Pei'er for your help."

Yelu Pei'er nodded, and then took Deng Yunde into the Northern Qiang camp.

Only at this time did Deng Yunde truly witness the strength of the Northern Qiang army.

The neatly arranged cavalry in the camp, the armory filled with bows, arrows, swords and guns, and the high morale of the soldiers made him feel the powerful fighting capacity of this unit.

After entering the tent, Deng Yunde met Dianzhang and told him the purpose of his trip in detail.

"Dianzhang, do you have any way to meet the third princess and the eldest princess? His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan said that if the Northern Qiang can help us capture Gaochang, all the cities will belong to the Northern Qiang, and Daliang will never invade within ten years." Deng Yunde said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

After listening to this, Dianzhang nodded thoughtfully, but he also knew the difficulty and complexity of this matter. "Brother Deng, I'll see if I can take you to see the Third Princess! As for the First Princess, only the Third Princess took us there.

However, this matter is of great importance. The eldest princess has always been cautious. Even if I meet her, I am afraid she will not easily agree."

While the two were talking in low voices, the tent curtain was suddenly lifted and Yelu Mengmeng walked in lightly.

She was dressed in a simple combat uniform, with a smile on her face: "Are you the Sixteenth Prince's guard?"

Deng Yunde bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Third Princess, Your Highness hopes that the Northern Qiang can cooperate in the attack on Gaochang and break the defense line of the Western Regions."

Then Deng Yunde told Jiang Chen all his plans in detail.

Yelu Mengmeng nodded, a thoughtful look in her eyes: "This plan is indeed feasible, but getting my eldest sister to agree to this may require some effort. Come with me."

Not long after, Yelu Mengmeng brought Dianzhang, Deng Yunde and others to meet the Northern Qiang Princess - Yelu Qingmin.

The eldest princess sat high in the middle of the tent, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

After Deng Yunde and Yelu Mengmeng explained their purpose, Yelu Qingmin sneered, "Your Sixteenth Prince of Daliang has always been renowned for his wisdom, but what makes me believe he'll keep his promise? If we capture Gaochang, will Daliang really keep his promise and not invade for ten years?"

Deng Yunde and Dianzhang exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat helpless. Yelu Qingmin's suspicions were not without reason. After all, the relationship between Daliang and the Northern Qiang had never been truly friendly, and trust was even weaker.

Deng Yunde stepped forward, his attitude humble but firm: "Grand Princess, His Highness the Sixteenth Prince always keeps his promises.

He has never broken his promises to Northern Qiang, and he personally oversaw the implementation of many post-war treaties, which have benefited Northern Qiang greatly. Grand Princess, rest assured that if Daliang breaks the agreement, His Highness will be personally responsible."

Yelu Qingmin's expression remained stern, and she obviously did not believe these words easily.

"Although your words sound nice, how much value can the words of the prince of Daliang have? How can you guarantee him?" Yelu Qingmin's eyes were sharp, and it was obvious that he had not let go of his concerns.

At this time, Yelu Mengmeng stepped forward gently, her eyes firm. "Sister, I can guarantee the Sixteenth Prince! If he breaks his promise, I am willing to use the name of the Third Princess of Northern Qiang as a witness."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Yelu Mengmeng's words undoubtedly put herself at great risk.

If Jiang Chen broke her promise, she, as the Princess of Northern Qiang, would undoubtedly be subjected to countless criticisms. However, her words were firm, and her eyes remained unwavering.

Yelu Qingmin frowned. She knew her sister's temper very well. If Mengmeng didn't trust Jiang Chen very much, she would never make such a promise.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn. Deng Yunde and Dianzhang held their breath, waiting for the eldest princess's reply.

Yelu Qingmin finally spoke, her voice cold and sharp: "Okay, I believe you this time." Her eyes swept over everyone present, "But you must remember, if there is even the slightest falsehood, we in the Northern Qiang will not show mercy."

The atmosphere finally eased somewhat. Yelu Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes. "Don't worry, big sister. The Sixteenth Prince has dealt with us before, and he has never broken his promise."

Yelu Qingmin nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Prepare the troops. We will set out tomorrow morning."

Deng Yunde was overjoyed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Things finally took a turn for the better. The Northern Qiang Army was about to set out to jointly attack Gaochang, and Zhong Xiaodan also had a better chance of survival.
