……

July 30, Han Tomb ......

In Liu Ce's "General's Mansion", at this time, the generals above the general level of the banner gathered together, and each of them had a solemn look on their faces......

"According to the information obtained by Tanma, 90,000 Hulan people have gathered fifty miles away from the border of Yuanzhou, and if the humble post is not bad, at most, in half a month, Hunu will go south to invade all parts of the Far East......"

Su Wencan, who was already the first director of the Intelligence Department, informed all the generals present of all the movements of the Hulan people he had discovered. Vertex Says X 23 U OM

Liu Ce sat in front of the table and closed his eyes silently, as if he was thinking about something, and the thumb of his left hand kept rubbing the pendant that Jiang Ruoyan asked Qin Mo to bring to him......

After Qin Mo heard this, a trace of bitter hatred flashed in his eyes, and he tried to calm down his emotions and said to everyone: "I don't think that Hu Nu will actually gather nearly 100,000 people this time, it's really an unprecedented move, I don't know how many Hu Nu invaded Yuanzhou this time?" ”

Su Wencan said: "Looking at the movements of Hunu this time, the one who has a strategic trend for Yuanzhou should be the 10,000 cavalry of the Hulan Luojin Department and the 13,000 people of the two special concessions and Duoyan, with a total of 23,000 Ma Hunu......"

"Twenty-three thousand? Amusing! Sun Biao didn't care when he heard this, he looked up at Liu Ce, who was closing his eyes, and said slowly: "Now there are a total of 11,000 soldiers in each battalion of my Jingwei Battalion, and the Hu Nu is only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, which can be eaten, and there are still 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Yuanzhou Prefecture, no matter how fierce Hu Nu is, is it really possible to defeat one enemy and ten enemies?"

Before everyone could speak, Ye Bin hurriedly came out and said to Sun Biao: "No, Mr. Sun Qi, you don't know the combat power of Hu Nu, if it is really as simple as you say, then the officers and soldiers of the Far East will not be afraid of slaves like tigers, and they will shrink behind the city wall......"

Yang Kaishan touched the chin of the bearded scumbag just now and asked, "Mr. Ye, is Hu Nu really so brave?"

Ye Bin said with a smile: "You have to ask Qin Changshi about this, I'm afraid that no one present knows Hu Nu's strength better than Qin Changshi." ”

Qin Mo sighed and said: "Hu Nu is indeed brave and ferocious, the officers and soldiers of the Far East provinces have been defeated many times when they encounter the Hulan people, the best battle record is thirty-four Hu Nu heads, you think about tens of thousands of people only killed thirty-four Hu Nu, and this Hu Nu head Governor Jiang has opened to two hundred and twenty-one, but still no one dares to fight, you think about how strong this Hulan Hu Nu is......"

"This ......" Yang Kaishan heard Qin Mo say this, and immediately closed his mouth with Sun Biao and stopped talking, and also pondered like Liu Ce.

Yang thought for a moment, got up and said: "Guys, Hu Nu may be really powerful, but it is not impossible to fight, after all, my Jingwei Battalion is different from other officers and soldiers, and has always grown up in the war, so why be afraid of him Hu Nu?" ”

Guo Tao also nodded in agreement: "Yang Ying is right, my Jingwei Battalion has been fighting against strong enemies since its establishment, I think that more than 1,000 soldiers can attack the city and plunder the land, and they have always won more with less. ”

Feng Chounian also stood up at this time and said loudly: "That's it, I'm afraid of his eggs!" Lao Tzu is trying to twist the necks of a few Hu slaves down! ”

The crowd in the house was full of excitement for a while, and they were infected by Feng Chounian's words, and everyone wanted to fight Hu Nu to the death.

Qin Mo saw that his mood was very complicated, he was not only relieved by the belligerent and fearless Jingwei Battalion, but at the same time worried about the overly optimistic scene in front of him, so he could only sigh softly.

Liu Ce heard that the generals in the room were in a mess, and he couldn't help frowning, and the thumb holding the pendant rubbed back and forth heavier, slowly he opened his eyes and glanced at everyone in the room, and the generals saw Liu Ce's gaze, and suddenly quieted down.

Liu Ce looked at them for a while, and then asked, "How is the current armament situation in our army?" ”

Ye Bin hurriedly said: "General Hui, now the arsenal inventory is sufficient, the armor (iron armor) rate of the soldiers of each battalion is as high as eighty, the Qi knife and ring head knife are three thousand eight hundred in addition to the flag equipment of each battalion, and the stock of crossbows is one hundred and sixty, and the rest of the various types of arrows, bows and other weapons and equipment will be listed and submitted to the subordinates......"

Liu Ce nodded and continued to ask, "How is the progress of the construction of the fortresses everywhere?" ”

Zhou Feng got up and said: "General, not very satisfactory, at present can only build a thirty-mile main road outside the city, the city wall has only repaired a section of the Han Tomb, far from the goal set in the plan, one is not enough population, two is too tight, now the Hulan people are about to go south, the humble can only let them take refuge in the city first, postpone the start of construction, and then ask the general to decide after the Hulan people retreat." ”

Hearing this, Liu Ce got up and came to the generals, motioned for them all to sit down, and then walked to the door and looked at the scene of the people crowding around the street corner and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy we will face this time is different from the past, not the undisciplined thieves and bandits, not the poorly equipped and moraleless rebels, but the real elite ...... of Hunu."

As soon as everyone heard Liu Ce's serious tone, they immediately quieted down, especially Qin Mo and Ye Bin, who looked at Liu Ce in a daze......

Liu Ce didn't turn back, but stood with his hands in his hands, took a deep breath and continued: "To be honest, I'm very nervous now, and I can even say I'm scared, but...... Isn't that what we came to the Far East for? I know that you are dismissive of Hu Nu, which is very good, and it is also an encouragement to the officers and men of the three armed forces to have this kind of thought, but ...... Therefore, it is never a good thing to underestimate the enemy too much, and we will suffer a big loss, we can despise them strategically, but we must not despise them tactically! ”

After hearing this, the general in the room couldn't help but bow their heads to ponder Liu Ce's words, and nodded in a vague way......

After being silent for a while, Liu Ce continued: "What we have to do now is to adjust the best condition of the soldiers of each battalion and actively prepare for the battle, I believe that as long as I work together in the Jingwei battalion, I will definitely be able to tide over this difficulty......

"Obey military orders!" The generals in the room stood up and saluted in unison.

Liu Ce glanced at the pendant in his hand, put it to his nose and smelled it, and a fragrance came to his nose, which made his suppressed mood a little better.

"Jiang Ruoyan......" Liu Ce called softly, and then threw the pendant behind his head, only to see a perfect arc slid through the eyes of the generals, and the pendant slid steadily into the box in front of the case, and when everyone looked at the door again, they saw that Liu Ce had already stepped outside the house.

Looking at the black clouds rolling in the sky not far away, and there was a tendency of a rainstorm coming, Liu Ce's eyes were firm: "I swore that I would let the people under my rule enjoy peace forever, since I said it, I must do it!" ”

At this time, a drop of rain hit Liu Ce's face, he gently stroked it, and sighed at the black cloud: "Mountain rain is coming......

……

At the same time, in the Yuanzhou Governor's Palace, Jiang Xun received a secret report from the Hulan people on the border of Yuanzhou, and his face was also solemn, and this time the Hulan people were more turbulent than before......

"I don't know how many places have been poisoned by Hulu this year...... Jiang Xun sighed helplessly, the erosive situation in the Far East made him physically and mentally exhausted.

Although the Jiang family is still the No. 1 wealthy family in the Great Zhou, Jiang Xun himself also knows that although he has watched the scenery over the years, only he knows the difficulties: the court is constantly suspicious, first detained Li Suwen to prevent his marriage with the Li family from further strengthening, and then sent a brave elite army with an unknown purpose to stay by his side to make it difficult for him to sleep, although Jiang Xun tried to ease the tense antagonism between them with Liu Ce, but a month has passed, Liu Ce still has not come to the Governor's Mansion to report to himself, which makes him worried. Then there is the destruction caused by the Hulan people going south every year to all parts of the Far East, which is quite terrible, and they have the intention to run the Far East that is gradually crumbling, but they always feel haggard.

"It's a pity that I don't have any soldiers who dare to fight in my hands, otherwise I wouldn't have let Hu Lu be so rampant, Liu Ce, I hope you are really not sent by the imperial court to deal with my Jiang family, as long as you can let the people under your rule survive this catastrophe, this governor will definitely use you......" Jiang Xun sighed heavily and sat down weakly in front of the table.

On the top floor of Heyang Tower, Jiang Ruoyan looked at the dark clouds rolling outside the window, and her mood was very heavy.

Wan'er stayed by her side and whispered, "Miss, it's about to rain, let the slave close the window, be careful of catching a cold......"

Jiang Ruoyan shook his head: "No need, I want to blow the wind......"

Wan'er couldn't bear to say: "Miss, you are worried at this time of year, Wan'er is really distressed when she sees it, why don't you talk to the master about going back to Suzhou as soon as possible, you can save ...... upset."

Jiang Ruoyan said: "Wan'er, don't you know my temperament? The people of the Far East are about to suffer, how can I just leave it?"

"But ......" Wan'er was about to say more, but was stopped by Jiang Ruoyan.

"I know what Wan'er wants to say, it's just that I'm afraid that I will feel embarrassed and hurt by what happened to the people in the Far East, right?"

When Wan'er heard this, she nodded in agreement, after all, every time after the Far East disaster, her own young lady would cry sadly for several days, and she really couldn't bear to see Jiang Ruoyan like this again.

Jiang Ruoyan sighed and said to Wan'er: "Actually, I also know that I am very stupid, at this time, I should leave this place of right and wrong and go back to Suzhou Mansion to travel to the beautiful scenery to change my mood, but do you know Wan'er, the reason why I stay here is to see the day when the miracle happens, I don't ask much, I just hope that when that day comes, I can hear the cheers of the people in Yuanzhou City, and I can see the night sky of Yuanzhou City blooming beautiful fireworks, do you know?" Wan'er, I want to see that scene more, even once, I really don't want to see the lifeless scene inside and outside the city after the Hulan people retreated, and the faces of the people were full of despair! ”

Wan'er sighed: "Miss, you are really kind, God will not treat you badly, and one day this miracle will happen......"

Jiang Ruoyan took Wan'er's hand and said, "Wan'er, thank you for always being by my side and comforting me, let's look forward to this moment together." ”

"Hmm!" Wan'er nodded heavily and held Jiang Ruoyan's hand tighter.

At this time, the Shura Knight scroll hanging on the wall was shaken by the storm outside the window, as if it was responding to Jiang Ruoyan's words.

Jiang Ruoyan heard the prestige, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Liu Ce, please, let Ruoyan witness a miracle, just one time is enough, the people of the Far East really need a victory, don't let Ruoyan down, okay? Although you and I have never met, I don't know why I just want to believe you...... Liu Ce...... Can you hear me? Liu Ce! Jiang Ruoyan looked at the picture scroll, and kept muttering silently in her heart.
