Great Xia Landu City, it has been nearly a month since the capture of Landu City. Han Pingzi ordered the city to be repaired and the damaged houses and streets in the city were cleaned up. For the people in the city, the military advisor Lu Mu gave a pacifying policy. Since Xiyue wanted to occupy the Landu City to the west as his own, he could not force the looting. Those who remain, re-ascend the throne and enter the register, and those who want to leave, will not be hindered by opening the city gates.

In the Shuaifu, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu sat opposite each other. Although he took Landu City, there were some things that Han Pingzi couldn't be happy about. There are many soldiers and horses, and the consumption of just one day's eating, drinking, and Lazar is huge. After taking Landu City, Han Pingzi did not find grain and grass in the camp. After so many days, all the corners of the city have been rummaged, and they have not found the grain and grass of Fang Jiye's army.

Han Pingzi looked at Lu Mu at a loss, "Lu Mu, do you think Fang Jiye's army is really running out of ammunition and food, or is it hiding the grain and grass somewhere and we haven't found it?" According to the statistics of the quartermaster, the grain and grass we collected from the city were only enough for half a month's hoarding. I couldn't find any more food and grass, so I had to rely on the rear to rescue. ”

Lu Mu took a sip of tea, "Han Shuai, the grain and grass must still be in the city." But Landu City is so big, it will take time to find out. I have given the lord of the kingdom a watch, and the grain and grass should be on the way. It's just that the soldiers and horses in Lidu City haven't moved, and I think it's a little strange. ”

"Hehe, there's nothing strange about it, Maotou Xiao'er is a little overwhelmed after a few victories. The current Landu City has more than 300,000 troops stationed here in my West Vietnam, even if the Lidu City dares to come, what can he Duan Lang do. Han Pingzi said disdainfully.

Lu Mu thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, the army of Lidu City is mainly cavalry, and there are not many infantry soldiers and horses. Han Shuai, how are you going to proceed next? ”

"The army temporarily repaired for two or three months, and then took the Landu City as the foundation and approached the Lidu City. As long as the capital city is taken, there will be no obstacles in the western part of Great Xia. At that time, it will be possible to row away even half of the Great Xia. Han Pingzi said proudly.

Lu Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Han Shuai, I think that it is better to keep it for the time being within two years. Great Xia was by no means so weak as it seemed, they were just restrained by Nanping and Xining Hou. If our army advances boldly, it will inevitably arouse the wrath of the whole country of Great Xia. A few days ago, I received news from the flying pigeons in Nanping, Mo Kun had ordered the evacuation of Shuangfeng Mountain, but Zhao Li's army failed to stop the soldiers and horses of Daxia and began to defend Xining City with all its might. If we press too hard now, I'm afraid that Great Xia will send a large army to support. It is better to first lay a solid foundation in Landu City and occupy the vast territory west of Landu City as the actual territory. ”

Han Pingzi frowned, "Lu Mu, the more this is the case, we should do it as soon as possible." Xining Hou Zhao Li's subordinates were all a group of wine bags and rice bags, and they couldn't stop the attack of Great Xia at all. Among the famous generals of Great Xia, Yan Facheng is not simple, without the support of Nanping, Zhao Li is not his opponent at all. While the war on his side is not over, it is the best policy for us to take Lidu City as soon as possible. ”

Lu Mu smiled slightly, "Han Shuai, Mokun's old fox can't afford to be early, if I guess correctly, Nanping withdrew his troops this time to obtain greater benefits." Only when the Xining army was beaten and hurt would Zhao Li let go. Nanping needed Zhao Li as a buffer, and they would never watch Great Xia destroy Zhao Li. Therefore, let Nanping and Zhao Li consume more of Daxia's strength, so that we can be more relaxed. Now that Great Xia has been carried away by a small victory, if we take action, it will become the focus of their attention. ”

Han Pingzi was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean~ Mo Kun will fight back again?" ”

"Absolutely, and it will give Da Xia a surprise blow. Losing Zhao Li, Nanping will face the soldiers and horses of Great Xia. This is by no means something that Mo Kun can tolerate. Let Zhao Li stand tall in Nanning, this is the most practical interest of Nanping. First, it can block the soldiers and horses of Great Xia, and secondly, it can earn a large number of silver taels every time it borrows troops. This kind of good thing, can Mo Kun let it go. ”

Han Pingzi said with a smile, "Yes, Mo Kun is as shrewd as a thief, he is waiting for Zhao Li to ask for help." Lu Mu, how will I lay out this side of Landu City? ”

"Withdraw your troops!"

Lu Mu said and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Withdrawing troops?" Han Pingzi was stunned, "Could it be that you really stopped?" ”

"Whether it is moving forward or not, it depends on whether Nanping consumes the vitality of Great Xia. In addition, there are too many garrisons in Landu City, and it is inconvenient to escort grain and grass. It is better to withdraw part of the troops and garrison the Two Realms Mountain. If there is really a tight situation here, the side of the Two Realms Mountain can also come to the rescue in time. Moreover, the cities west of Landu City and many county towns also need to be stationed. The needs of the people are very simple, as long as they are given the conditions to survive, it will not take a few years for them to identify with the identity of Xiyue. ”

"What do you mean, do you really want to turn the west of Landu City into the provincial capital of my Xiyue?"

"Yes, that's what the lord of the country meant. So, it takes two or three years to build here. Only in this way can food and grass be self-sufficient. Lay a solid foundation and it will be easy to move forward. What's more, in the next two years, I'm afraid that Duan Lang won't let us be so idle. ”

Han Pingzi pondered for a while, but also agreed with Lu Mu's suggestion. Although the army is now in full swing, the war not only depends on the number of men and horses, but also on the silver taels and logistics supplies.

Han Pingzi and Lu Mu are studying future plans, and in the capital city, Duan Lang and others are also working hard to plan a battle of revenge. However, the decree from Kyoto made everyone angry.

In the government of the capital city, Duan Lang and the others looked at the official documents and decrees sent by Kyoto urgently, and their faces were like frost, as if they were going to eat people.

This decree was issued in the name of the regent, but it was stamped with the jade seal of Great Xia, indicating that Prince Hong also approved the contents of the notice. Fortunately, the post official who delivered the documents also handed over a secret letter from Prince Hong to the seventh prince Delong, which explained the situation to Delong and Duan Lang. Otherwise, this announcement alone would have provoked the wrath of the soldiers.

Duan Lang looked at everyone, "Listen, everyone, this decree is secret, and it is as if this has never happened." Kyoto is Kyoto, and in our capital city, then we have the final say. ”

Zhang Ruming scolded angrily, "A group of old bastards in Kyoto, aren't they afraid that once such a decree is issued, it will cause a mutiny in the army." His grandmother's Landu City was lost, and it was a matter of in our capital city. ”

Li Jianshan pursed his lips, "Isn't it written on it, the rescue is not good." ”

"Even if the rescue is unfavorable and Duan Lang's title of protector general is removed, why should the title of Lao Tzu's Imperial Heavenly Master be removed? Paralyzed, the next time I enter Beijing, I have to theorize with those bastards. ”

The Seventh Prince Delong looked at everyone embarrassedly, "Lord Shangguan, in fact, His Royal Highness the Prince is also helpless to do this. Yu Ban pressed forward step by step, and Dezhang's side won the battle again. In order to grasp the 200,000 soldiers and horses in his uncle's hands, Prince Hong had to make concessions. ”

Duan Lang nodded, "It's hard to be Prince Hong, after all, military power is real power, and the titles that have been sealed are all false, and it's nothing to take them away." It's just that it's a bit unfair to treat my father-in-law and the soldiers who died in the battle of Landu City. ”

Duan Lang said, looking at Yutai Mingyue and Fang Yan beside her. Except for the generals of Landu City, Duan Lang did not hide Fang Yan from this meeting. Landu City was lost, and the coach Fang Jiye, Shen Qishan and others died on the battlefield, not only did they not chase the title, but they were also openly refuted. In other words, generals such as Fang Jiye and Shen Qishan, who are the commanders-in-chief, not only did not chase and compensate, but also served as a warning of shame in the army. Once these news spread, I am afraid that the military camp of Landu City will be able to blow up.

Seeing Fang Yan's pale face, Tantai Mingyue hurriedly comforted, "Sister Yan, you should understand the situation in the court now, someone is definitely getting in the way." I believe that sooner or later, Uncle Fang and the people of Landu City will be fairly evaluated. ”

Fang Yan gasped dismally, "It's nothing, I've long been disappointed in the Kyoto court." As long as I can avenge the soldiers of Landu City, I can accept any kind of evaluation. ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang and the others, and said softly, "Lang, it's not a way to hide it, after all, such a decree will be announced to the world, and sooner or later they will all know, I think we should tell everyone." Anger is anger, and anger can be turned into motivation. If you want to get a fair evaluation, then wash away the shame of defeat with the blood of the enemy. ”

"What if I can't hold it back?" Duan Lang looked at Yutai Mingyue worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, leave this to me. Later, Sister Yan and I will go to the camp, and first gather Feng Ming, Wei and other generals to do a good job. Wait until everyone has figured it out, and then pass it on. ”

Duan Lang was just about to agree, but he listened to the Seventh Prince Delong and said, "I'll go with you too." ”

"You?" Duan Lang was stunned.

The Seventh Prince, Delong Zhengse, said, "Actually, everyone understands that Prince Hong retreated to this step to protect His Royal Highness's reputation. Therefore, there is no mention of this prince in this decree. In that case, I, Delong, can't disappoint everyone. I will tell the soldiers of Landu City that if I become emperor one day, I will definitely erect a monument to the heroic warriors of Landu City. ”

Duan Lang nodded, "Okay!" With your words, I believe that Feng Ming, Wei Du and other generals will understand Prince Hong's difficulties. ”

Duan Lang said and untied the war knife at his waist, "Yue'er, you go with the war knife and Xiang Tian and the others. Once it can't be suppressed, it depends on the situation. ”

Tantai Mingyue smiled faintly, "No need, with Sister Yan here, I believe nothing will happen to everyone." Tantai Mingyue said, quietly giving Duan Lang a look.

Duan Lang was stunned, and his face suddenly showed embarrassment. Just now he patronized the safety of everyone, but he didn't expect Fang Yan's feelings. In her mind, the soldiers of Landu City are like relatives.

"Yan, I don't mean to disbelieve the soldiers of Landu City, I'm worried that the guards are too impulsive." Duan Lang hurriedly explained.

Fang Yan looked at Duan Lang calmly, "Lang, do you and I still need to explain?" Actually, I have long wanted to suggest that the soldiers and horses should be redivided. In the future, everyone will be a whole, and the commander of this army will no longer be my father Fang Jiye. Therefore, everyone must obey a military order. This time I will go to the camp, and I will talk to Uncle Feng and Uncle Wei. The city of Landu has been lost, and the western battalion must be included in the army of the capital city. Only by coming together can we avenge the blood hatred of the soldiers. ”

Duan Lang walked over and gently grabbed Fang Yan's hand, "Yan, I know that everyone is holding back a wave of hatred in their hearts. Tell everyone, I, Duan Lang, will not watch the Xiyue barbarians occupy Landu City for a long time. It is not only your home, but also my Duan Lang's home. Now, all the soldiers must work together, even if we don't recover the country for Great Xia, we must wash away the shame for the relatives who died. ”

Fang Yan nodded, she had gradually become tenacious these days. The pain of losing her parents must be buried in her heart. Fang Yan couldn't watch the soldiers from Landu City depressed, even if it was for her father, she had to stand up and let everyone regroup their military prestige and wait for the opportunity to return to Landu City.

As soon as Yutai Mingyue and the others left, the hall seemed empty. Zhang Ruming looked at Li Jianshan and Duan Lang and said depressedly.

"I said two, why does Lao Tzu feel more and more aggrieved now. We are fighting on the battlefield, but the bastards in the back are always ready to stab you in the back. The paralyzed, if you want me to say, simply set myself up as king. Angry with them, it's better for a few of us to fight the world together. Paralyzed, the emperor of Great Xia who loves to be who, Lao Tzu is no longer serving. ”

Li Jianshan raised his eyes, "Duan Lang, do you think that if this continues, will Delong still have a show?" Dezhang's side has won the battle, and the old fox who is forbidden is very shrewd and has begun to rein in the hearts of the people. ”

Duan Lang smiled bitterly, "How can I have time to think about these now, just like Lao Zhang said, the Emperor of Great Xia loves to be whoever he wants, but don't interfere in our Lidu City." Otherwise, which hand is inserted, which hand does Lao Tzu chop off them. What Lao Tzu is thinking about now is how to cut Lu Mu with a knife. ”

"Beautiful, that's like a gentleman. Hearing you say this, Lao Tzu's heart is much more comfortable. Zhang Ruming let out a long breath.

Li Jianshan asked, "Duan Lang, are you going to attack Landu City now?" ”

Duan Lang looked at the two of them, "It's definitely not possible to fight the Lan Capital, but Hu Binggao, the quartermaster of the Lan Capital City, said that he didn't leave the grain and grass for the West Vietnamese army." I have asked Da Fei to closely monitor the passage of the Two Realms Mountain, and once he finds their army of grain and grass, Lao Tzu must take it for him. Aren't Han Pingzi and Na Lu Mu a lot of people, I see what they do to feed so many people. ”

Li Jianshan and Zhang Ruming were stunned, and Li Jianshan hurriedly said, "Isn't that to cross the Landu City?" It's easy to rush through, but it's hard to come back. ”

"That's right, so I plan to lead the team personally, and all the people I bring are veterans who have experienced the battle of Wuliang City."

"Then what if you want to be blocked by Landu City?" Zhang Ruming asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter if you can't come back or not, I'll take people back and forth between the Two Realms Mountain and the Landu City. This kind of quick and fierce battle, no one can beat our Lidu City. In short, Lao Tzu couldn't let them transport a grain of grain into Landu City. When the time comes, force Lu Mu to abandon the city and leave. ”

"Then what if they come directly to attack the capital city?" Li Jianshan asked.

"There is a moon here, I am relieved. In terms of offensive and defensive command, I'm afraid she's still above me. ”

Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang and asked seriously, "You decided?" ”

Duan Lang nodded, and Zhang Ruming continued, "I'm afraid those two girls won't agree." ”

Duan Lang's expression was solemn, "I have the final say in the war, and no one can change it." Even if I don't go, everyone else will. But as a commander, no one is more suitable than me. ”

This matter has been brewing in Duan Lang's heart for a long time, but he hasn't told everyone yet. According to Duan Lang's estimate, Da Fei is about to bring back the news. Now that he can't attack Landu City for a while, Duan Lang can't just watch them sit and defend the city. Since you can't take the capital, let's give full play to the advantages of the army of the capital city and make the Landu city an isolated and helpless dead city.
