The old year is over, and the new year is coming.

Han Yuan had already left for Nanping Mansion, and he was accompanied by Zhu Yifeng, the military advisor, as well as his five generals, as well as more than 50,000 soldiers and horses mobilized from various counties.

Because of the rapid expansion of the number of soldiers, almost all of the original brigade generals under Han Yuan were promoted to generals except for Huang Lang and Wang Biao.

Han Yuan really didn't mean to target the two Huang Wang, but because his current strength was insufficient, he could only barely make up six armies, and he had to wronged the two of them to be deputy generals next to the big tiger and the second tiger.

However, the ability of the two Han Yuan is still clear, before leaving, he specially instructed the two brothers of the big tiger and the two tigers to march and fight at that time, everything is subject to the arrangements of the two Huang Wang, and they must not be rigid and self-serving, and delay the fighter.

For the upcoming war, almost all of the arrangements of the Korean won are strictly based on Zhu Yifeng's suggestions. Of course, Han Yuan is not blindly following without thinking, Mr. Zhu's arrangements, Han Yuan has actually seriously thought about them, except for admiration, he has nothing to say.

Because Nanping Mansion was about to become a battlefield, Han Yuan specially sent someone to take the father-in-law of Gaoyang County to the state city for resettlement. Jiang Feng can reunite with his daughter, and he has no choice.

Because Han Won personally went to Nanping to command the war, the defense of the area around Bei'an Province must be handed over to a person worthy of trust. After thinking about it again, Han Yuan finally decided to hand over this important task to Li Kui.

In terms of personal ability, among Han Yuan's current subordinates, there is no one who can compare to Li Kui, Ma Erhan is good, but he is still slightly inferior to Li Kui, so Han Yuan did not let him stay in Bei'an. Han Yuan is sitting in Nanping, and there is no shortage of generals around him who can fight, and Ma Erhan is the best candidate to charge into battle, so Han Yuan will keep him by his side and call him.

After Han Yuan arrived in the capital city, he lived in the earl's palace built for him by the imperial court in the past. Because of the needs of the war, Ma Erhan and other brigades will be stationed in other counties outside the city, and any news between them depends on the post guards.

At this time, Han Yuan felt more and more haggard, he was worried about the situation in Chuzhou on the one hand, and his wife in Zhoucheng on the other. Speaking of which, Jiang Luoyue has been pregnant for nine months, and she is afraid that the delivery will only be in these ten days. For some reason, Han Won was always upset when he thought of her.

…

In the backyard of the Earl's Court, Han Won sat in front of a lobby, behind him was a huge map hanging on the wall.

Because it was too lonely to live alone in the Earl's Palace, Han Yuan specially asked Zhu Yifeng to come and live with him, so that it was convenient for each other to discuss the military situation.

However, it was not only Zhu Yifeng who came to the court today to discuss the military situation, but also dozens of scribe staff recruited by Han Yuan in the past.

"Gentlemen, the strategy that Mr. Zhu formulated before must be clear to everyone, but the purpose of my summoning here today is to talk to you about some other situations."

Han Won cleared his throat and tried his best to pretend to be light.

"As the old saying goes, if you prepare, you will stand, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted. Another cloud, unexpectedly won, first expected defeat. You might as well imagine that if we lose in Nanping, or in Bei'an, or both sides lose, in that case, how will we deal with ourselves. ”

When Zhu Yifeng heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and reminded in a low voice: "Lord, it's not appropriate to talk nonsense like this. Otherwise, the enemy has not arrived, and our army will be disorganized. ”

Han Yuan smiled dryly: "It's okay, I just want to hear everyone's real thoughts." ”

A staff member said: "My lord, my generation is the lord of the father, if the general trend is like this, naturally there is only to follow the lord's side, and there is only death." ”

When the other aides heard this, they followed suit and expressed their loyalty.

Han Yuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not asking you this, I mean, do you have any ways to help me preserve my strength and make a comeback?" ”

When Zhu Yifeng heard this, he couldn't help but stand up and reprimand: "Lord, before the war started, you first feared the enemy, and it is really stupid to mess up here!" ”

"Heh, I thought that you Han Yuan was the chosen son, the savior of the world, worthy of my Zhu Yifeng's dedication and sworn to follow, but I didn't expect to say such vulgar words! It's ridiculous. ”

To be honest, Han Yuan was really panicked this time, if he had a choice, now he just wanted to take Jiang Luoyue to a place where there was no war, and be an ordinary person, even if life was hard, as long as he could live peacefully.

However, Zhu Yifeng's words woke him up. yes, haven't you always prided yourself on being a person who does great things? How can such nonsense be uttered?

The gentleman's words were like a blow to the head, waking up Yuan. Yuan knew that he was wrong, and Yuan was ashamed. Han Yuan folded his hands and saluted Zhu Yifeng and apologized again and again.

Zhu Yifeng saw that he had changed his mind, and he also took advantage of the situation to find a step, pretending to be panicked and said: "Yifeng has just lost his temper, and the lord forgives his sins." ”

Han Won was busy saying that he didn't dare. A small storm has now disappeared.

…

A few days later, news suddenly came from Bei'an Mansion that Zhongzhou had sent troops.

What made Han Yuan cry and laugh was that it was Bai Junwu who led the troops to fight in Zhongzhou this time! Tsk, I don't know what Zhou Ning in Zhongzhou thinks, is it because the other party has fought with him and is more familiar with his own situation?

After learning that the enemy commander was Bai Junwu's defeated general, Han Yuan's hanging heart finally eased a lot. But what really made Han Yuan uneasy was the situation on the Yizhou side, the counties of Nanping have been very quiet for several days, and it seems that Sun Xun has no intention of attacking him.

However, Han Yuan still believes in Zhu Yifeng's opinion, which is also his own judgment: Sun Xun will never watch the fire from the other side, and in the same situation, he will definitely make some moves, and Sun Xun must be the same.

After receiving Li Kui's news, Han Yuan immediately replied to him, in which Han Yuan handed over all the military and political power of Bei'an Province to the other party, and as for how to command the battle, Han Yuan also handed it over to him to deal with, and he did not intervene.

Han Yuan knew that the safety of the Bei'an area was related to the success or failure of the overall situation, and he was in Nanping, so he had no choice but to believe in Li Kui unconditionally, let him go and fight, and win the overall situation for himself.

In fact, Han Won could have stuck to the state city and commanded in the center, which was the best choice for him at least on the surface. However, Han Yuan still listened to Zhu Yifeng's words and personally sat in Nanping Mansion to deal with the imminent strong enemy of Yizhou.

Zhu Yifeng is right, in fact, Sun Xun of Yizhou is far more terrifying than Bai Junwu of Zhongzhou, he is the opponent of Han Yuan.

A few days later, the Battle of Bei'an officially began. Han Yuan, who was in Nanping, had no way of knowing what the situation was ahead, and he didn't want to send a letter to ask, so as not to distract Li Kui.

However, this time Zhongzhou was known as a huge 100,000 army, and the Chu army stationed in Bei'an was only more than 30,000 people. Although the Chu military had made a lot of preparations, it was conceivable that this would be an unusually tragic defensive battle.

Han Won could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that God would bless him as usual.
