Yi Xingchen naturally agrees with Yan En's speculation, he knows that the United States will definitely try to deal with Xinghua Group next, and Yan En's guess that the target of the United States of America will be the scientific research department of Xinghua Group, which is not unreasonable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some of the economic powers like the United States have strong economic strength for scientific research or military research, so if they want to deal with the Xinghua Empire, they are indeed the most likely to target the scientific research department of the Xinghua Group.

At the moment, the United States of America is obviously eyeing the sub-base established by the Xinghua Empire in Ganglong.

After thinking about it, Yi Xingchen instructed Yan En to pay close attention to the movements of the United States, especially the American Intelligence Agency, in the near future. As long as they have any action, no matter how big or small, they must pay attention to it immediately and report it at any time.

Yan En nodded yes, and wrote down Yi Xingchen's orders one by one.

Yi Xingchen looked at Yan En, who had been busy recording, and he suddenly thought that the subordinate in front of him, who was both brave and calm, was not a rare military general?

In fact, Yi Xingchen had already had the idea of selecting more suitable generals for the Xinghua Empire. As the strategic territory of the Xinghua Empire expands more and more, wars in various places are naturally endless, so it is natural that the more military talents, the better, especially the excellent generals and elite soldiers.

Therefore, Yan En is undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates.

In terms of strategy, Yan En has been putting forward suitable strategies for the empire since he followed Yi Xingchen; in terms of personality, Yan En is obviously a calm and wise good minister; in terms of loyalty, it is estimated that there are few in the Xinghua Empire who can be more loyal than Yan En.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen suddenly looked at Yan En as if he had taken a fancy to a prey, and he especially wanted to ask Yan En's opinion, so he asked: "Yan En, you really don't want to go out to lead the troops to fight?" I know that your ability is extraordinary, and you also understand that the empire has always lacked generals to lead the army to fight. I think you can definitely take on the role of general, and I am confident in your ability to lead the troops into battle, it is up to you to decide whether you want to or not. As long as you make a contribution, I will knight you. ”

For Yi Xingchen, Yan En is the guard who has been by Yi Xingchen's side for the longest time, and Yan En's loyalty to Yi Xingchen, the emperor, and the Xinghua Empire is evident from the sun and the moon. For such a good minister and loyal man, Yi Xingchen certainly didn't want to stop him from making meritorious achievements, but he had always followed him and had no chance to achieve fame.

Even, Yi Xingchen was willing to provide him with the opportunity to establish his own family.

In the Firmament Continent, the concept of family is very rigorous, and it is precious, and the status and class are also based on this, if the family has a deep enough reputation outside, then the people in the family will also have a light on their faces, and at the same time, they will also enjoy the admiration and respect of others outside, and they can enjoy some additional preferential treatment everywhere.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen also hopes to establish a family system for Yan En that belongs to him, so that he can make his own name on the Firmament Continent from now on.

This not only requires a strong enough clan of the same clan, but also needs to have a famous clan in this family.

Of course, Yi Xingchen still needs a qualified and good guard chief who is good at handling various affairs, who can often share his worries and do things for him, before and after the saddle, but Yi Xingchen knows that Yan En has always done his best to him, and he also hopes to repay Yan En, so he still tends to provide Yan En with a brighter development prospect, so that he can one day shine in front of people and glorify his ancestors.

However, when Yan En heard this, his reaction was relatively flat, as if he was not talking about his own business, he just shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty has worried too much about me, in fact, I am very satisfied with my current work, as long as I get Your Majesty's approval, I am already satisfied." Moreover, I am willing to always be by His Majesty's side and serve His Majesty. ”

Yi Xingchen smiled and said: "Everyone is an independent individual, you can't just live for the empire, you also need to properly consider your own future." Well, let's do it, if you don't have the idea of making a career for the time being, we can discuss it later, I have one more thing I want to know from you, you and I have been with me for a long time, in fact, do you have a favorite object? Or I can also arrange a marriage or something for you. ”

When Yan En heard this, he didn't seem to expect Yi Xingchen to ask such a question, and suddenly turned to the major events in his life, and was a little stunned for a while, and then replied embarrassedly: "Not yet." ”

"Don't forget your life's work! For the next three months, I will order you to go to work for only two hours. You have assistants, give them a lot of exercise, arrange affairs to assistants, and then, you leave work, and the rest of the time you are not allowed to enter the palace. Yi Xingchen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan En's face turned red slightly, but he didn't forget to thank Yi Xingchen immediately.

"Do you have a goal? I allow you to find a wife in the two realms, but no matter which realm the woman is, she will never know about the existence of the spatial passage. The woman of Blue Mercury only has one chance to relocate to the Xinghua Empire. Yi Xingchen allowed Yan En to freely choose to fall in love, but he also wanted to remind Yan En to pay attention to confidentiality and remember that the secrets of the empire could not be revealed.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Yan Endao.

"On the day you get married, I'll give you a big gift...... It's okay, you can go down and do something. Yi Xingchen promised.

When Yan En heard this, she retired and left.

Yi Xingchen sat for a while, then got up and went to see his wife and children and enjoy family life.

Jiangzhou, Tai'an City, an army of the Xinghua Army, 3,000 soldiers on horseback, hurried out of the city.

Leon stood on the tower of the city gate, watching Fang Shaohai's troops go on the expedition.

"General, Lieutenant Colonel Fang Shaohai is an excellent officer, he will definitely be able to achieve another great result and eliminate the Xia army's troops. An officer standing next to Leon said.

When Leon heard this, he knew that it was Wang Zhongping, the chief of staff of his own army, who spoke. He smiled slightly and said, "Fang Shaohai is one of the best officers in the officer training camp with excellent results. Not only that, but he has also participated in overseas military operations and has extraordinary actual combat ability. This time, if Fang Shaohai can annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, he will be promoted to become a colonel, and he will have the qualifications to lead an army or defend a place. I'm looking forward to his development. and Lin Hengtong, he is also good. Leon said.

"The empire is getting bigger and bigger, and there is more and more need for good officers. I just don't know, there are a few people who can seize the opportunity. Chief of Staff Wang Zhongping sighed.

Leon was silent, looked at the troops that were drifting away, closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to go down. On the battlefield, you must not only seize the opportunity, but also survive countless battles in order to have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of your struggle. After so many years of the establishment of the empire, Leon saw many of his colleagues die on the battlefield.

Xiguancheng, Wei Yingcai was a little depressed. The day before yesterday he received a reply from Leon, asking him to cooperate with the actions of the large army. This made Wei Yingcai's pride fall to the bottom all of a sudden. After continuous setbacks, Wei Yingcai had to put away his pride and take the initiative to cooperate with Leon's deployment.

"Report, there is a telegram from headquarters!" the adjutant walked up to Wei Yingcai.

"Read!" Wei Yingcai said.

"The headquarters telegraphed the order: The support troops will arrive at the periphery of Xiguan City within five hours. At that time, the support force will use walkie-talkies to establish contact. Your troops follow the original plan to attract the enemy into the encirclement. The adjutant read.

Wei Yingcai's adjutant finished reading the telegram, put it away, and stood aside.

"How is the preparation of the troops?" asked Wei Yingcai.

"The troops are ready! Five hundred soldiers of the security force are also willing to evacuate Xiguan City with us. However, they want to bring their families with them. Their families were waiting outside the barracks for the commander's decision. The adjutant replied.

Wei Yingcai thought for a while and said, "Since they want to bring their families, let's bring them." Only, you have to tell the security forces. Their families, protected by them. If they can't keep up with the pace of the big army, the big army will give up on them when they have to. ”

"Yes, sir. I'll deliver your orders at once!" replied the adjutant.

Wei Yingcai watched the adjutant leave and sighed slightly. In fact, Wei Yingcai felt that it would be safer for the families of the security soldiers to stay in Xiguancheng. It's just that the soldiers of the security forces are all refugees, and they finally have a place to eat and feed their families, so they are naturally unwilling to give up. Their families are also willing to follow them on their adventures. In this case, Wei Yingcai will not refuse. Sometimes, bringing some civilians with you may be more attractive to the enemy.

The task of Wei Yingcai's department was to attract a large force of the enemy army to chase after him, and then bring the enemy into the ambush circle.

Five hours later, Wei Ying received Fang Shaohai's message. He used the walkie-talkie to communicate with Fang Shaohai.

Fang Shaohai told Wei Yingcai that their troops had set up an ambush on a road five kilometers south of Xiguancheng, and that Wei Yingcai's troops needed to attract enemy troops over.

"What preparations do you have, do you need my troops to make any more preparations?" Wei Yingcai asked. He wanted to know Fang Shaohai's specific arrangement so as not to make mistakes.

Fang Shaohai paused and told Wei Yingcai, "We have planted jumping mines on both sides of the road. ”

Wei Yingcai was stunned when he heard this, he knew very well what a thunder jump was. Jumping mine is a kind of anti-infantry mine, after the jump mine explodes, it explodes a large number of fragments and kills the enemy, the main target of the attack is the unsuspecting infantry, which is extremely lethal. In the Ganglong Civil War, Wei Yingcai once saw soldiers who were injured by jumping mines. Most soldiers, after the explosion of the thunder, do not die immediately, but they will lose their combat effectiveness and become a living target for the enemy. Even if you are alive, you are a burden to your allies.

Wei Yingcai thought of this, and immediately asked Fang Shaohai carefully where to bury the jumping mine or let Fang Shaohai guide his troops on how to walk.

Fang Shaohai did not hide Wei Yingcai, he had participated in the Ganglong Civil War, and knew that Wei Yingcai was the commander of the Xinghua Royal Guards in the Ganglong Civil War. These jumping mines are lethal weapons purchased by the Republic of Xinghua Island from China. Because the price is cheap, Xinghua Island has purchased 1 million jumping mines, which are being shipped over one after another and put into the battlefield in Jiangzhou.

Fang Shaohai received five hundred jumping mines, all of which were used in this ambush.

After getting in touch with Fang Shaohai, Wei Yingcai ordered the troops that had been prepared long ago to leave the city and leave Xiguan City.

As soon as the Xinghua army opened the city gate, the soldiers of the Xia army immediately went back quickly to report to their general. Bai Lixi, the general of the Xia army, learned the news and ordered his troops to pay close attention and not to take the initiative to attack the Xinghua army. Before knowing exactly the intentions of the Xinghua Army, Bai Lixi did not dare to take risks. At this time, although Bailixi's army had some advantages, the Xinghua army was too powerful, and in the last battle, Bailixi's troops suffered a lot of losses.

Bai Lixi led 5,000 cavalry and left the barracks. In order to prevent accidents, Bai Lixi thinks that he must keep an eye on the movements of the Xinghua army. If the Xinghua Army really wanted to escape, Bai Lixi didn't want to let go of the opportunity to bite hard.

Bai Lixi led the army out of the camp, and in less than ten minutes, there were scouts who reported that the Xinghua army left Xiguan City, bringing a lot of civilians with them.

"General, the Xinghua Army must be trying to escape. Otherwise they wouldn't have brought civilians with them. Those civilians must have been the families of the security forces who had joined the Xinghua State. The officer next to Bai Lixi said to Bai Lixi, "We must not let them leave safely!"

"General, no, our purpose is to recover Xiguan City. As long as we recover Xiguan City, we will be a great achievement, and we should not continue the pursuit, lest we fall into the trap of the enemy. "There were steady officers who said not to pursue.

Bai Lixi saw that several officers around him were about to quarrel and prevented them from continuing to speak.

"Send a thousand soldiers into Xiguan City and take control of Xiguan City. The rest of the soldiers, following behind the cavalry. If we have a chance, we will go again, and if we don't, we will let them go. Bai Lixi made the decision to observe.

The other Xia army officers saw that Bai Lixi had made a decision and no longer argued.

Bai Lixi rode a horse, and after ten minutes, he soon saw the Xinghua army.

It seems that the Xinghua army is not marching fast because the speed of the civilians is too slow. Moreover, the Xinghua army is the position of the queen of the palace, and they did not leave the civilians.

Seeing this, Bai Lixi smiled disdainfully. He laughed at the benevolence of the woman of the commander of the Xinghua Army, who was actually influenced by civilians in the army's movements. Obviously, these civilians are a burden to the Xinghua Army.

Bai Lixi thought that civilians were a burden to the Xinghua army, but Wei Yingcai of the Xinghua army thought that civilians were a magnet that could attract the Xia army to pursue. Not only that, Wei Yingcai also thanked the families of those security forces. If it weren't for them, the Xinghua Army would not have been able to slow down and let the Xia Army's large army catch up with the Xinghua Army.

If the Xia army did not catch up, it would mean that the ambush plan of the Xinghua army had failed. Then the Xinghua army is afraid that it will have to face the Xia army head-on and make a strong attack. Since a long time ago, the officers of the Xinghua Empire have been conscious. When fighting, guarantee victory and minimize your own losses.

As long as this ambush is successful, most of the Xia army's military strength within the Xiguan area can be wiped out, and the Xinghua army can be regarded as having completed the task of destroying the enemy.
