Lin Luoyu's residence in the manor was not very far from Shen Leng and Chaye's residence, the two of them entered the door one after the other, and when they stepped in, they saw Mr. Shen sitting in the courtyard looking up at the sky in a daze, the black mastiff squatted beside Mr. Shen and looked up from time to time, as if he was curious about what he was looking at, there was nothing in the sky, but Mr. Shen's eyes were a little lost.

Seeing Shen Leng coming back, the black mastiff jumped down the steps and gave Shen Leng a loving hug.

"Look at its long hair, it should be cut and cut in hot weather."

Shen Leng rubbed the black mastiff's head, the big head rubbed into Shen Leng's arms, Shen Leng looked at Mr. Shen's lonely and complaining expression and smiled, and then hugged the black mastiff to the side, after half a pillar of incense, the shaved black mastiff squatted beside Mr. Shen and looked up at the sky, it seemed to understand Mr. Shen at this moment, one person and one dog, with a lonely and sad face.

Mr. Shen raised his hand and patted the black mastiff on the back, and the black mastiff put its head in Mr. Shen's arms with a whimper and cried......

The tea master came out of the kitchen with a rolling pin and saw the bald black mastiff at a glance, and then the rolling pin was raised, and Shen Leng hid behind the tree: "I'm for it!" ”

The tea master glanced at Shen Leng, and Lin Luoyu continued to go back to the house to busy the meal, Shen Leng leaned against the door: "It seems that you have convinced Mr." How so? ”

Tea Master: "I'm for his good." ”

Lin Luoyu: "......"

The hand-rolled noodles for four people are actually easy to make, but there is also a dog, when they eat, Shen Leng has a bowl for each of them, and the black mastiff has a pot alone, Shen Leng sits next to the black mastiff, and the black mastiff looks at the big pot of noodles and does not move.

"No appetite, huh?"

Shen Leng said: "No, how can it be as ugly as you think." ”

The black mastiff ignored him.

Shen Leng said while eating: "Although the hair is short, it looks quite powerful, you can't see it yourself, if you can see your whole body, you will find that it has not changed much." ”

Tea Master came out with a bronze mirror and put it opposite the black mastiff, the black mastiff looked at it, and with a snort, Shen Leng really saw tears in the black mastiff's eyes.

Shen Leng: "Look at your ......"

Tea Master: "I have to let it know exactly what you've done." ”

The black mastiff jumped down the steps, ran all over the yard, and after a few laps began to scratch the trees.

"Is this ugly crazy?"

Shen Leng looked at the tea master: "You are responsible for appeasing it." ”

At this time, the black mastiff came back again, holding the scissors that Shen Leng used to shave him just now, ran to the tea master and rubbed his head against the tea master's leg, and put the scissors in his mouth at the tea master's feet, and the tea master was stunned: "Do you want me to repair it for you?" ”

She bent down to pick up the scissors, and the black mastiff bit Tea Ye's pants with his teeth and pulled them to Shen Leng's side, and Tea Master reacted: "You want me to shave him too?" ”

The black mastiff raised his head: "Whew~"

Shen Leng: "......"

At this time, there was someone outside the door, it was Zhuang Yong's pro-soldier battalion Zhengma Huachun, standing outside the door and looking a little restrained, Shen Leng's pro-soldier came in to report, and he stood there and waited in a proper manner.

Seeing Shen Leng coming out, Ma Huachun hurriedly leaned over and bowed: "General Shen, the general invites you to go over to discuss the matter." ”

Shen Leng thought that he had only come back from Zhuang Yong's side not long ago, and something big must have happened suddenly.

"I'll go back with you."

Shen Leng turned around and shouted to the tea master to go to the General's Mansion, and then left the manor with Ma Huachun, the soldiers and horses on the street were still sealed, and the people who had been trapped for nearly a day were all slumped on the ground, one by one they looked like deflated balls, they seemed to be desperate, and when they saw Shen Leng riding by, they had no strength to shout for mercy again.

After Shen Leng entered the General's Mansion, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, there were two generals who came with him, and people came over one after another, obviously there was an emergency military situation.

Seeing Shen Leng enter the door, Zhuang Yong pointed to his side: "Two things, I just received a military report, the Rilang country, which is about 300 miles away from the country, suddenly sent troops, and there are about 200,000 troops to take advantage of the air defense of the country to invade, the country of Japan and the country of Miao were originally allies, when I attacked and destroyed the country of Yao, the country of Japan had asked for help from the country of Japan, but the country of Japan did not send troops, and now it is suddenly killed, I suspect that it is related to the rest of the suzerainty of the country of Japan." ”

Shen Leng frowned slightly, and began to recall the map in his mind.

When Daning hundreds of thousands of soldiers invaded the country, the emperor sent more than a dozen groups of people to the country of Lang for help, but the emperor of the country did not respond, shortly after Daning announced the destruction of the country, Vasily also sent a team of envoys to the country to see Zhuang Yong, conveyed Vasili's greetings to Zhuang Yong, and expressed his position, the country recognized the rule of Daning over the country of Yao, and the envoys also discussed with Zhuang Yong, It was said that the Emperor of Rilang was going to send a delegation to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Emperor Daning, and Zhuang Yong also agreed at that time, and wrote a special note for this matter and sent it back to Chang'an.

It was only a long time before the attitude of Rilangguo suddenly changed.

The map in Shen Leng's mind quickly emerged, the country of Rilang and the country of Miao are not far apart, about three days on the sea can be reached, according to the people of the country, the national strength of the country of Japan is almost the same as that of the country of Miao, the two countries are not very strong militarily, but because of the unique geographical conditions, so the country's economic strength is not weak.

The country of rest is the suzerainty of the country of Rilang, it is rumored that the country of peace is a very powerful country in the west, there are merchants of the country have been thousands of miles to the country of peace, the customs and customs there are completely different from the Central Plains Daning, the country of peace advocates force, year after year of continuous foreign expansion and conquest, with heavy cavalry to shock the West.

The country of Rilang once had a ten-year confrontation with the country of rest, at that time the country of peace was busy conquering other countries, and when the country of Japan and further west of the country was basically destroyed by the country of peace, the country of peace mobilized 150,000 troops to begin to attack the country of Japan, relying on the strength of the economy, the country of Japan lasted for ten years, and this decade was also extremely uncomfortable for the country, although about one-fifth of the land of the country of Japan was defeated, but the consumption was really huge, and the two countries had to start negotiations, and the country of Japan declared that it was a vassal to the country, However, the emperor of the Rilang Kingdom still has the throne and pays a certain amount of tribute to the rest every year, and the rest of the country, as the suzerain, will send troops to rescue when the country of the day is attacked.

If the strength of the country is equal to that of the country of Qiang, it is simply not able to take the initiative to provoke Daning.

Shen Leng looked at Zhuang Yong: "The general has seen it thoroughly, it may really have something to do with rest." ”

"Rest claims to have a million troops, and also claims to have 100,000 heavy cavalry."

Zhuang Yong said: "If it is really a matter of resting and wanting to expand eastward, the attack of the Rilang Kingdom is just a temptation to rest." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "So you have to fight harder." ”

Zhuang Yong looked at Shen Leng: "I urgently brought you here to ask your opinion, if General Haisha wants to return north to Eastern Xinjiang, he is not suitable to go to the country of Qiao." ”

"I'll go."

Shen Leng said: "But I don't have any soldiers in my hands, I have to be transferred from Qiu Li's side, how many people can the general give me at most?" ”

"20,000 is the limit."

Zhuang Yong said: "The guards have been withdrawn to Daning one after another, on the side of the country, our soldiers are left with only two guards, less than 100,000 people, and distributed all over the country, now there are only about 10,000 people who are transferred to the sea to fight, and the number of soldiers on this side is less than 100,000, after the general Haisha leaves, the strength will be less than 80,000, and the country is different from Qiuli, the people of Qiuli do not admit defeat and are gloomy, most of the people of the country are safe as long as the life is passable, there will be no big fluctuations, and there are 80,000 troops on this side, In addition to the garrisons in various places, the transfer of 20,000 people is already the limit. ”

"Five thousand."

Shen Leng said: "I will draw 5,000 troops from the patrol division, the general will give me another 5,000 people, and I will take 10,000 soldiers to the country of Qiao." ”

"200,000 troops of the Japanese country."

Zhuang Yong glanced at Shen Leng: "When you get over there, there are only 20,000 people who will join us." ”

"It should be enough, and it's not in the sea, as long as it's on land, there's nothing to worry about."

Shen Leng said: "The general can immediately send someone to inform the country of Miao, and transport grain and grass supplies in advance, I just calculated the distance, it will take me about seven days to gather the team of the sea patrol division, and it will take nearly a month to rush over at the earliest, so I plan to take the five thousand people from the general's side to set off tomorrow, and prepare the necessary materials tonight, and leave early tomorrow morning, and my five thousand people will rush over." ”

Zhuang Yong: "Won't it be too urgent?" ”

Shen Leng said: "War waits for no one. ”

Zhuang Yong nodded: "I'll give you 10,000 people." ”

"Five thousand, no more."

Shen Leng said: "I have calculated the number of troops, and it is a lot to transfer 5,000 people, the remaining troops on the side of Nanping City are less than 10,000, and now those big families and big forces are thinking of making trouble, less than 10,000 troops are not enough to deter, there is one more thing I wanted to say to the general...... As mentioned before, in order to establish a person to govern and seek to establish a person, the local officials have already accepted almost the same, but militarily we are indeed a little stretched, in recent years, Daning has been fighting one after another, and the troops cannot be moved, so they can recruit soldiers to maintain the locality, only recruit among the civilians, and recruit among the civilians who have begun to burn the rich and ghostly flower fields. ”

"The first is to avoid the local forces of the major families and prohibit them from infiltrating the new army, and the second is to tell the civilians who burn the fields of ghost addiction that the Daning military will support them and distribute leather armor and weapons to them, so that they feel that they are already soldiers of Daning, so that the local forces in Qiuli will also be jealous, and try their best to divide the rich and the civilians, so that their contradictions are as big as possible."

Zhuang Yong glanced at Shen Leng with relief: "What you said is very good." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Didn't the general say that there are two things?" What's one more thing? ”

"City of Saints."

Zhuang Yong sighed: "The Rilang Kingdom will not send troops here for no reason, the Zen master in the Saint City is the royal family of the Rilang Kingdom, and it is rumored that he is the last emperor of the Rilang Kingdom......"

Shen Leng was taken aback.

Zhuang Yong said: "Therefore, we have to find out their intentions in this battle against the Rilang Kingdom, because we know that we have besieged the Saint City, so we want to take their old emperor back, or do we have other plans." ”

Shen Leng nodded: "I'll figure it out." ”

He strode out: "I'm going to straighten out the armament, and the general will send someone to inform me that I will lead the army out of the city early tomorrow morning." ”
