"It's snowing in my hometown, and you're outside, can you be safe?"

- "The Book of the White Horse"

Xiping City.

Ying Qiong received the good news from the Ganzhou camp early and waited at the city gate early.

"I didn't expect that there are still two more Chang Dan shots." Han Chufei couldn't help but sigh, he thought that Chang Dan should be a gentleman.

"I said earlier, he wants to inherit Chang Long's mantle." Ying Qiong said with a smile.

Han Chufei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, maybe one day, they would meet on the battlefield......

In the distance, the mighty Ganzhou battalion team marched steadily towards Xiping City.

Chang Dan led a group of generals to arrive.

"Congratulations to Childe, you won the first battle!" Ying Qiong and Han Chufei were on the same path.

Chang Dan, supported by the guards, dismounted, and bowed his hand to the two.

"It's all up to the soldiers!" Chang Dan waved his hand, pointed to the soldiers behind him, and said loudly.

Ying Qiong nodded, and secretly said in his heart, he was getting better and better at talking, remembering that when he saw him, he was still like a lump of wood, and now although his face is green, his old spirit has also increased a lot.

"Let's go into town." Ying Qiong said sideways.

"There are many prisoners this time, so I'm tired of settling down." Chang Dan said.

"Huh? The affairs of this city should be decided by the child, and I am only here to help. Ying Qiong said with a smile.

Chang Dan also laughed, and the two of them tacitly agreed.

"Then leave it to Governor Han Dudu, what does the marshal want?" Chang Dan glanced at Han Chufei.

"Just do as Childe says." Ying Qiong tilted his head slightly, Han Chufei understood, and immediately took the order and left.

Chang Dan strode towards the county mansion, and Pharmacist Li took the generals back to the barracks.

………………

County capital.

Chang Dan changed his clothes in the room, changed the medicine for his leg injury, and was sitting by the brazier, making a pot of tea, ready to rest.

"Report, young master, there is a letter." A guard whispered outside the door.

"What letter?" Chang Dan couldn't help but wonder.

"It was said that the prescription that Gongzi wanted, and it was sent by Lang Zhong."

"Bring it in."

The guards brought the letter in.

Chang Dan took the letter, frowned, quickly opened the letter, and read it.

The book says: Li Bibu successfully received the Suzhou battalion Leng Wushuang after leading the army back to Xiping City, Wuwei County is now garrisoned by Leng Wushuang led the Suzhou battalion of 1,000 people, the main movement of Menghu is unknown, Xianrong people sent troops from Yunzhou, marched into Suzhou, and soon reached Luling, hoping to make preparations as soon as possible.

After reading it, Chang Dan was happy and worried, but it was not a taste in his heart for a while. The Suzhou battalion, which can fight well, now has only 1,000 remnants left, alas, sad and lamentable. Xianrong people finally responded to Changdan's speculation and began to act, Suzhou was lost, Xianrong was like no one, and the people would fall into dire straits. The unclear movement of Menghu's main force is even more unsettling, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

Chang Dan stuffed the letter into the brazier.

"Someone is coming, call General Li and Vice President Wang."

"Yes!"

………………

Inside the house.

Chang Dan personally poured hot tea for the two who came in a hurry.

"Young master, is something wrong?" Pharmacist Li asked keenly.

Chang Dan's face was worried.

"Alas, the Xianrong people have sent troops from Yunzhou." Chang Dan sat down slowly, melancholy.

"This ...... If this is the case, it will really make matters worse, once they join forces with Menghu, the strength may not be less than 100,000......" When Li Yaoshi heard the news, his face instantly sank, this time the battle of Hutou Mountain, although the results were remarkable, but the so-called killing of one thousand enemies and eight hundred self-losses, the casualties of the Ganzhou battalion were not negligible, and the opponent was the Menghu people, in this battle, the casualties reached more than 3,000, almost one-third of the entire Ganzhou battalion.

"yes...... In this way, even if Chang'an's reinforcements arrive, our total strength will only be 70,000 or 80,000. Vice Admiral Wang also had the same expression.

"The main force of Menghu is gone...... Chang Dan continued, and another piece of even more shocking news came that made Pharmacist Li and Vice General Wang stand up directly.

"What ??!" The two said in unison.

Chang Dan glanced at the two helplessly and waved his hand.

The two sat down slowly.

"It was imperative to find out where Mongo had gone...... I'll write a letter urging Chang'an to send troops later. You go back, hurry up and comfort the soldiers, prepare for battle, I know that we have suffered a lot of casualties this time, but this is our land, don't think about relying on others. Chang Dan looked at the letter that had turned into ashes in the brazier and said softly.

Pharmacist Li looked at Chang Dan, thinking about his last sentence, and always felt that there was something else.

"The Admiral understands! That's it. Adjutant General Wang got up and saluted, and hurried out to the barracks.

Pharmacist Li sat for a long time, then slowly got up, picked up the helmet on the table, and looked at Chang Dan sitting on the ground as he walked out.

"That'...... The old man retired. Pharmacist Li thought that Chang Dan would say something, but when he walked to the door, he saw that Chang Dan was motionless, so he spoke.

"Old general, do you know the battle between my father and Tubo back then?" Chang Dan suddenly spoke.

Pharmacist Li didn't understand what he was asking for, but he thought about it anyway.

"The old man knew that the old man was in the North Route Army at that time, and the soldiers were divided into four routes, and the South Road was used to deal with the Tubo invasion, but he lost the first battle and retreated to Jingzhou." Pharmacist Li carefully recalled the old events of the year.

"Does the old general remember how Mr. Bai was martyred?" Chang Dan asked again.

When Pharmacist Li heard this, he immediately felt angry in his heart, but after thinking about it, he looked at Chang Dan's appearance again, and he still held back.

"The Tubo people made a detour to attack Chang'an, when the army was outside, Chang'an was empty and defenseless, and the white governor was stubbornly defending the city, constantly like Changlong...... The marshal asked for help...... "Pharmacist Li accidentally lost his words, quickly changed his words, looked at Chang Dan, and saw that there was no reaction, so he put his mind at ease.

"The governor held on for nearly a month, and finally the city was martyred, and then Chang Fushuai recovered Chang'an, repelled Tubo, and pacified the western border." Pharmacist Li held back his anger and finished speaking.

Chang Dan got up slowly...... With his back to Pharmacist Li.

"It is said that the past cannot be traced." Chang Dan laughed to himself.

Pharmacist Li was a little nervous when he saw Chang Dan's strange appearance.

"The old man didn't mean anything else, the son wanted to ask, and the old man answered." Pharmacist Li said calmly.

"I don't mean anything else." Chang Dan suddenly turned around, and then said loudly after Pharmacist Li's words, as if he was a little angry.

Pharmacist Li was stunned.

"The young lord is angry." Pharmacist Li bowed.

"The mountains are thousands of miles long, the wind is mighty, the spear is like a forest to go to our country, the grievances of the people are boundless, and the sun and the moon are shining in the danger of inheriting the king's life." Chang Dan chanted, pacing back and forth in the hall.

Pharmacist Li was puzzled and looked puzzled.

"General Li, I'll give you a word." Chang Dan turned his head and said solemnly at Pharmacist Li.

"Childe, please speak!" Pharmacist Li didn't know why, so he replied.

"The rain is like a dream, and I am happy to take advantage of the spring breeze." Chang Dan smiled, and after speaking, he slowly turned into the back room.

Pharmacist Li was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed and went out.
