Although Jiang Chen understood Su Daqiang's intentions, after careful consideration, Jiang Chen finally agreed to Su Daqiang's request. The morale of everyone had finally been boosted, and if they didn't seize this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, a rout might occur quickly if there was another tough battle later.

After all, the current team was no longer just the most elite imperial guards; there was another group of people wandering around here as well.

"Just do as you said, but you should know in whose name this should be done."

Although Su Daqiang felt somewhat dissatisfied that these actions were benefiting Jiang Chen, he understood that this was the best outcome.

The Su family members who had been implicated by Su Dingtian's previous crimes could finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer having to worry about losing their heads at any moment, as they had in the beginning.

While Su Daqiang was arranging for people to purchase various items needed to reward the troops, some conflicts arose on the Zhennan King's side. Although the arrival of the Zhenbei King had relieved a lot of pressure on the Zhennan King, the Zhenbei King completely disregarded all the arrangements and deployments made by the Zhennan King.

Because of this, the two sides had reached a tense standoff.

"I've already said that we are only here to assist you on the Khan's orders. You don't really expect my troops to go and die, do you? You occupy such a rich grassland, but now that you're fighting like this, you want us to be cannon fodder?"

After learning about what had happened earlier from a soldier under the Zhennan King, the Zhenbei King, who had originally planned to launch a direct attack, fell silent. The Zhenbei King was very clear that without understanding how the white mist was formed, launching an attack first would mean that most of the people he had brought would be sacrificed.

Because of this, the contradiction between him and the Zhennan King became increasingly sharp.

"Instead of arguing about these things, why don't you and I join hands to launch a joint attack? I have been wearing them down here for so long that they can't fully utilize their previous combat power. With a little preparation, we can easily take them down."

"My manpower is no longer sufficient to launch an attack on my own. If you are willing to participate, I can give you seventy percent of the credit."

When the Zhennan King offered this condition, the people around him were filled with regret, because a seventy percent share meant that they would not be able to make up for their previous losses.

Looking at the Zhennan King, who seemed to be cutting off his own flesh, the Zhenbei King turned around and left without even thinking.

"I know what you're planning. If you and I join forces to break through their defenses, the thirty percent you get will allow you to recuperate and return to normal, but I don't want to see you regain your previous strength."

"If you're willing, then let's split it two-eight, me eight and you two."

"Let's talk in detail about how to divide it up after we've taken it down. What do you think?"

As he said this, the Zhenbei King revealed a fox-like smile. Looking at the Zhenbei King's expression, the Zhennan King pondered for a long time but remained silent.

After all, the losses he had suffered in front of Jiang Chen were not small. Although he was nominally the king of this vast southern grassland, everyone knew that those tribes were only living here temporarily and did not have a strong sense of attachment to him. If he really chose to split it two-eight, he might not even be able to make up for the losses of those tribes.

Small tribes could still be dealt with through annexation, but those large tribes...

But if he really gained nothing and just persisted here...

At this moment, the Zhennan King was plunged into endless sorrow. He suddenly regretted why he had driven away Mei Pengfei earlier. If Mei Pengfei were here, he might have been able to come up with some ways to deal with Jiang Chen.

While they were worried about this, countless bonfires were lit on Jiang Chen's side, and everyone was singing and dancing there to celebrate their temporary victory. Standing on the city wall and seeing the lively scene below, the Jiangzuo King couldn't help but swallow, but in the end, he silently retreated back into his room.

The Jiangzuo King understood that he had probably become a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone. Thinking that he had actually believed the Zhennan King's nonsense, the Jiangzuo King felt annoyed and hateful. If he hadn't believed what he had said, he wouldn't have fallen into this situation.

Because of this, his heart was now filled with anger and sadness. Just as he was struggling with this, those who had infiltrated the city earlier began to move according to Jiang Chen's orders.

Looking at the devastated state of Shimen Pass, they all felt a sense of helplessness. When they had first arrived at Shimen Pass with Jiang Chen, it had been so prosperous, but now Shimen Pass could no longer be described as desolate.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the people inside the pass had already been evacuated by Jiang Chen, which prevented them from suffering too much loss.

"Why doesn't His Majesty let us just capture the Jiangzuo King? The Jiangzuo King is right in front of us now. Capturing him is just a matter of lifting a finger."

"His Majesty must have his own deep considerations in these matters. You and I should not speculate too much on the Emperor's will and just do our own job honestly."

While they were all moving quickly, those who had followed the Jiangzuo King were constantly providing cover for them, because they were ultimately loyal to Jiang Chen.

After burying all the things that Jiang Chen had instructed them to hide in the planned locations, they quickly evacuated Shimen Pass, and the remaining people huddled back into the ruins as they had done in the beginning.

"I don't know if what those guys said will work. I don't want to fall into the hands of my own people in a muddle."

"Don't worry, they will wet the cloth next to them with water and cover their faces when they boil the mafeisan (an ancient Chinese anesthetic), which can greatly reduce the effect of the mafeisan. Although it won't make us completely immune, it's better than them just falling asleep."

Thinking of the news that had come back from outside the city earlier, they all felt a chill in their hearts.

After all, they never imagined that this one medicine would have such a terrifying effect.
