In fact, Kong Donglai blamed the eldest prince wrongly. The eldest prince was indeed tempted and wanted to support Nanyang County. The one who really made the decision was Xiao Liming, and it was Xiao Liming who fooled Kong Donglai.
But no matter what, the situation is extremely critical for Kong Donglai now. He originally wanted to wait for the eldest prince to launch an attack from the north to disperse the joint forces of Guangling County and Songzhou County, so as to relieve the pressure on Nanyang County and even save lives; but in the end, the life saver became a spectator, and the crisis did not change at all.
No, after such an ordeal, the morale of the Nanyang County army began to be seriously shaken; while the confidence of the soldiers in Guangling County and Songzhou County was unprecedentedly firm.
As one side gains strength, the other side loses strength. Nanyang County seems to be in danger!
"How about we ask for help from Dongyuan County?" Wen Cheng Guo Hongyan said carefully beside him.
"By the time the reinforcements from Dongyuan County arrive, our place will have already fallen!" Kong Donglai sneered, "I'm afraid that when the Dongyuan County army arrives, they won't come to rescue us, but will take the opportunity to annex our last territory! Dongyuan County is going crazy in its desire to expand now."
"Ah... then... use the last resort?!" Guo Hongyan said carefully.
Kong Donglai gritted his teeth and said, "We can only use the last resort. Dongyuan County has already used it anyway."
The last resort was to use some separatist regimes and other hidden masters. This was the change caused by Li Yulong extending the fate of the Great Xia Kingdom by fifteen years. The 30,000 or 40,000 elite troops led by Yuan Yong at the last moment were the hidden masters of Dongyuan County.
This is the last resort of every separatist regime, it is used to pursue great undertakings, not now. Kong Donglai does not want to use this power now. Once this power is exposed, many things will be difficult to do later.
In particular, Kong Donglai knew one thing very well—the assassination of Li Xian was arranged by himself, and those people were one of Kong Donglai's hidden forces! Therefore, once this hidden force is used, Nanyang County must be prepared to face the fallout between Anyang County and Li Xian!
Moreover, everyone has hidden powers. Whoever uses the hidden power first will lose.
After hesitating for a long time, Kong Donglai finally made a decision with a serious face: "Kong Yingzhi, listen to my order, immediately lead 50,000 Shenlong troops to support Nangong Zhi! Remember, how to use this army is to obey Nangong Zhi's command!"
"Yes!" Kong Yingzhi immediately turned around and left, ready to lead Nanyang County's most elite Shenlong Army.
As for handing over the 50,000 Shenlong Army to Nangong Zhi, Kong Donglai had no other choice. There was only one Nangong Zhi in Nanyang County. If he didn't trust Nangong Zhi, he wouldn't be able to find anyone capable. It's easy to find a good general, but it's hard to find a good commander.
Kong Donglai and Nangong Zhi used to get along well, at least on the surface. But since Chen Jin reported to Nangong Zhi instead of Kong Donglai, a clear rift began to appear between Nangong Zhi and Kong Donglai. And we know that once a rift appears between almost all "military officers and centralized leaders", there is almost no possibility of recovery!
But now, there is no second Nangong Zhi in the entire Nanyang County, and Kong Donglai can only pretend to be generous and trustful. It is not easy for a talented person to appear, and a loyal talented person is even rarer!
