The general will camp.

Sun Qian sat in the main seat with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to indicate to Ning Zhuo to sit on his left.

He leaned towards Ning Zhuo and said, "Commander Ning is indeed a young and talented man!"

Ning Zhuo smiled, straightened his upper body, and slightly cupped his hands: "General Sun, thank you. I am summoning you this time. Do you want me to predict whether it is safe to return to the city?"

Sun Qian's pupils shrank slightly and he no longer leaned towards Ning Zhuo. Instead, he leaned back on the chair and sat upright, with a noncommittal smile on his face: "Could it be that when Commander Ning came here this time, he had already made some calculations in advance to figure out our army?"

Do you want to go back to the city?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly: "I'm actually not good at divination. When certain crises come, I will feel depressed and have a premonition. Only at such moments can I get more accurate results."

"As for our army returning to the city, there is no need to worry about it."

"We are the rear army and want to converge on the main force. However, during the march not long ago, our army was ambushed and suffered heavy losses."

"There are only the generals and soldiers left in the Barbarian Demon Camp, and there are only more than a hundred people in the White Jade Camp. It's miserable."

"Honghua Camp and the Three Generals Camp all had a lot of attrition. Only Huoyun Camp and the Golden Halberd Army did not suffer any casualties."

"Most of the overall strength has been lost. Even if we rush to join the main force, it has lost its original significance."

"Furthermore, most of the armies suffered heavy losses, but only the Golden Halberd Army led by Master Sun did not lose a single member. It is actually not nice to hear this kind of thing.

Sun Qian narrowed his eyes and his expression darkened a little.

Ning Zhuo's words completely hit his mark.

If the Golden Halberd Army loses a few people, it will be okay.

Now the entire army has lost no one, but other armies have suffered heavy losses. If other people knew about this, they would probably think that Sun Qian prioritized self-protection and chose to sacrifice his friendly troops in exchange for his own achievements.

Although there is no evidence, such a perception will greatly damage Sun Qian's reputation and prestige.

As for the Huoyun Camp, they marched at high altitude and used key methods to defeat Long Ye. Others would not point fingers at them.

On normal days, Sun Qian wouldn't worry too much about these gossips.

But now there is a big trouble - Baiyu camp suffered heavy losses, with only a hundred people left. Too many high-ranking disciples and noble disciples were lost in this ambush.

As a leader, Sun Qian must bear responsibility.

He is now very worried that the people in the royal capital will be angry with him and cause trouble for him because of the sacrifice of his own children.

In this case, if there are discussions in the army that are unfavorable to him, then the Avengers will definitely seize on this and use it as favorable evidence to attack Xu Sun Qian.

Amid the raging public sentiment, Sun Qian might be impeached and lose his position as general, and be replaced by someone else!

Ning Zhuo continued: "Thousand Peaks Forest is unpredictable."

"Right now, the Fire Cloud Battalion has been exposed, and there is no longer any surprise force. Besides Long Ye is still alive, and the Ginseng Xu Dragon King is stronger than life, treating Long Ye is naturally an easy task."

"We have suffered heavy losses. What if we continue to move forward and are ambushed again?"

Sun Qian tapped the seat handle with his fingers and was silent.

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Actually, let's forget about Master Long and many other powerful enemies."

"What I'm more worried about is the old monster in the stone!"

"This Nascent Soul Daxiu's Earth Bending Technique is really too powerful."

"He fled underground, as if he was in a deserted place!"

"I have watched the video of this battle at least three times. The old monster in the stone does not match the old information. This city building is deep, has a smart mind, and has harvested the most loot. It is the biggest winner of this battle."

"Such a Nascent Soul monk might be hiding under our noses right now, quietly listening to the conversation between General Sun and me. Sun Qian took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "What you said makes sense."

Ning Zhuo observed the words and expressions and saw Sun Qian's solemn expression, so he guessed that the Golden Halberd Army probably did not have a powerful means to restrain Tu Xingju.

Ning Zhuo was about to speak when the curtain of the tent was opened and Shuang Jing walked straight in.

"What Military Advisor Ning said is extremely reasonable! Our army has fought against the old monster in the stone, and we know very well that this monk looks simple and honest, but is actually very cunning and cunning. In the previous battle, the old monster in the stone contributed the least, but he made the greatest contribution.

!”

As the biggest sufferer, Shuangjing was extremely impressed by the old monster in the stone. When he spoke at this time, he subconsciously gritted his teeth and his face was full of hatred and anger.

"Two Generals." Ning Zhuo greeted him with his hands in hand.

Sun Qian frowned and stared at Shuang Jing: "General Shuang broke into my camp without warning, why are you here? At this time, you should be inspecting your camp and condolences to your wounded and disabled soldiers."

Shuangjing shrugged: "Our army has been completely crippled, what else are we preparing for? Now I just want to go back to Canglin Fairy City as soon as possible and ask for help from the royal capital!"

"So, what are we doing here now? Are we waiting for those bastards from Qianfenglin to come back and attack?"

Sun Qian snorted coldly: "My Golden Halberd Army is here, why should we be afraid!"

Just as he was about to continue talking, the curtain of the tent was opened again.

A strong Nascent Soul cultivator broke in from outside, it was Xu Dali.

Xu Dali held the jade slip and asked Sun Qian with an angry look on his face: "Sun Qian! What the hell are you doing? Our army suffered such heavy casualties and withstood the largest offensive, buying you the most precious reaction time."

"Result!" Xu Dali raised the jade slip in his hand, "Are you going to give us such a small pension? Do you know that many people died for the country not long ago, but you are picking at it, how are you?

Stingy and cool!"

"Shut up!" Sun Qian was furious. He stood up from his seat and yelled at Xu Dali, "General Xu, you'd better figure it out. I am now the commander-in-chief of the rear army. And you are not in a good position to fight.

What qualifications does a sinner have to yell at me in front of me?"

"After you return to Canglin Fairy City, you will be held accountable!"

Blood flushed on Xu Dali's face: "Sun Qian, you are a villain! This time you failed in leading the army, you just want to put all the blame on me. I don't believe that the civil and military forces of the royal capital will let you confuse right and wrong, and avoid the easy and take the heavy.

!」

Sun Qian slapped the table: "Shut up, you bastard."

Xu Dali stepped forward, and when passing by Shuang Jing, he pushed Shuang Jing out of the way, walked up to Sun Qian, glared at him across the table, and yelled: "Bring up the pension quickly, otherwise

You will never have an easy day!!"

Sun Qian and Xu Dali immediately fell into a quarrel.

Shuang Jing shook his head, smiled bitterly at Ning Zhuo, and then pointed at the door curtain.

Ning Zhuo knew the opportunity, stood up, handed over Sun Qian and resigned.

Sun Qian was entangled and was scolding Xu Dali, who was blushing and thick-necked. How could he care about Ning Zhuo?

Shuang Jing and Ning Zhuo left the camp one after the other. The former immediately invited Ning Zhuo and waited for him to have a banquet when he returned to Canglin Fairy City, hoping that Ning Zhuo would appreciate it.

Shuang Jing is a Nascent Soul cultivator, Ning Zhuo is no better than Ji Zhu, but the former's attitude is quite cordial and gentle.

This would never have happened before this battle.

Obviously, Shuangjing also realized the accuracy of poetry. The heavy losses this time made him understand the four words of war and danger. Therefore, he must make every effort to make use of all factors that can lead to victory.

Ning Zhuo agreed immediately and expressed that he was flattered.

There is absolutely no harm in communicating with Shuangjing.

Ning Zhuo's impression of Shuangjing was not bad: "Although this high-ranking disciple is arrogant, he is quite well-organized. In previous battles, he took the initiative to give orders and constantly replenished the armory in order to delay the 'Old Monster in the Stone'.

This strategy is excellent!"

Ning Zhuo returned to the camp of the three generals, who were discussing matters.

"The military advisor is back so soon?" The three generals stood up, Liu Er was full of spring breeze, and took the initiative to greet them.

Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly: "Sun Qian and Xu Dali had a quarrel."

He briefly talked about the trip and also talked about the banquet.

Liu Er's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized that Shuangjing was probably trying to recruit Ning Zhuo, and the smile on his face couldn't help but become a little more enthusiastic.

Liu Er grabbed Ning Zhuo's arm and led him to sit down: "We were just discussing future plans. The military advisor has outstanding strategies and his achievements are obvious to all. Please ask the military advisor to teach me."

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "I originally thought that our army would return to Canglin Immortal City. This time I met with Sun Qian, and I basically confirmed this guess."

"This arrangement will naturally bring more advantages than disadvantages to our army."

"Isn't it true that our army lacks training? Just a long snake formation and a triangular arrow formation are far from enough. We must at least have a defensive battle formation, right?"

Liu Er sighed: "What the military advisor said is true, and the three of us thought so just now. But now there is a problem!"

Ning Zhuo suddenly understood: "General Liu is referring to military expenditures?"

Liu Er sighed: "Exactly! We have suffered a lot of casualties, and we need to allocate a large sum of money for compensation and to stabilize the morale of the army."

"But our military's previous military expenditures were stretched thin."

Ning Zhuo smiled: "That's right. I spent a lot of military money on setting up formations and divination before."

Liu Er quickly waved his hand: "Military strategist, this money is well spent, so worth it! If the strategist hadn't calculated it, our situation at this moment would have been even more miserable than that of the Barbarian Demon Camp."

Ning Zhuo also waved his hand, interrupting Liu Er's next words of thanks: "General Liu, General Guan, and General Zhang and I hit it off immediately, and we became very close friends. In addition, we have a family feud with the Liudong faction, so we tried our best to help each other.

wishes.”

"I can also contribute to the military expenditure issue."
