Hearing Zhao Xun's decision, Situ Liang smiled at the rest of the people and said, "I'll just say, the adult's decision must be made at the same time in the north and south, how about it?" I've won! ”

Hu Yi, Secretary for Finance, Pei Yi, Chief Secretary for Administration, Shen Meng, Secretary for Commerce, and others shook their heads and sighed: "I didn't bet with you if I knew it, okay, I invite you to go to the Hero Building for a drink!" It's still General Xue Lei who is smart, and he follows Brother Situ with an answer. ”

Xue Lei smiled: "I know the determination and courage of the adults very well, and I know that the adults must attack at the same time from both roads, and will not shrink the south road and support the north road." ”

Hu Yi smiled bitterly: "It seems that we still don't know anything about military affairs. ”

"What are you?" Zhao Xun asked a little strangely.

Situ Liang smiled: "Don't blame me! In this way, we have made two judgments about the decision of the adults, and the three generals and I believe that the adults must go in two ways. However, several directors believed that the adults would withdraw from the south route to support the north route. So, we decided that whoever loses will invite everyone to drink in the Hero Building. ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "What about the other two commanders?" ”

Situ Liang said: "The two commanders are both involved. ”

The two commanders were naturally the heads of the Blood Shadow Guard and the Shadow Guard, and Zhao Xun was slightly satisfied when he learned that the two were not involved. The responsibilities of the two are different, and neither of them can do things based on subjective guesses.

"Don't talk too much about this, don't do it, all military matters can only enter your own ears, and you can't leak them out." Zhao Xun said sternly.

Several people responded with a straight face: "I'll understand!" ”

"This Northern Navy is simply not human, dare to kill my people! Hmph, if he goes north one day, he will definitely destroy his people! Zhao Xun said coldly. For what the Northern Navy did, Zhao Xun hated it deeply. If it was the army that was killed, Zhao Xun would not be like this, after all, the two sides were at war, and killing prisoners was nothing, but killing unarmed people would be unforgivable.

"Okay, you all prepare your own affairs, be prepared for a long-term struggle with the Northern Navy, and let the logistics department be ready."

Situ Liang said: "My lord, is it not necessary to set up a special logistics department to prepare logistics affairs for the army and cooperate with other departments? ”

Zhao Xun thought for a while and said, "Okay, set up a logistics department to specialize in hoarding armaments, this is a very critical department, so it will be strictly investigated by the Supervision Department and the Shadow Guard." At the same time, strict warrants are required for every entry and exit. The director is Zhang Jun, who is known as the cold-faced man. Personnel include the Guards Battalion, the Shadow Guard and the Inspectorate, as well as a number of soldiers who have been discharged from the army due to serious injuries. Zhao Hai, Situ Liang, Gao Tu, Wei Dong, you immediately arrange people and set up a new department. ”

"Yes!" Several people took the order.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xun rushed back to Zhao's mansion, after all, there was another expedition, and it was possible that it would be long-term.

Su Ziyan also rushed to his contact point and told the intelligence officers some of the information he had collected about the Huolin Army, and asked him to send it back to Shunzhou Mansion and report it to the Shunzhou Army.

The place where he contacted Su Ziyan was in a very ordinary courtyard, where there were very ordinary people for a while, only a pair of young sisters and brothers, and these two were the contacts sent by the Shunzhou Army.

"Miss, now it seems that the assistance of the Fire Lin Army is indeed unlikely. Is the eldest lady going back to Shunzhou Mansion? If you want to go back to Shunzhou Mansion, you don't need us to pass on the news, just have the eldest lady take it back. The young woman whispered.

"Me? I don't know yet...... Forget it, let's stay here for a while and see the situation of Yanzhou Mansion and the Huolin Army. Did you find that the people of Yanzhou Mansion have their own fields, and the Huolin Army is strongly supported here, as for the original court officials, it seems that they have been forgotten by the people of Yanzhou Mansion. Su Ziyan said a little strangely.

The young woman sighed and said: "This is also the strength of the Huolin Army, all the privately occupied land in Yanzhou Mansion has been forcibly taken back, and those who do not obey have been conquered by the Huolin Army with knives, in addition, some large landowners with more heaven and earth, their fields have also been recovered by the Huolin Army at market prices, and those who are not sold have secretly disappeared." Although this move offended the people of the landlord level, it received the support of all the people, in other words, they will get the support of hundreds of thousands of people, and they will have a steady reserve of troops. ”

"The promulgation of the new commercial law has won the support of the merchants, so that although the support of the landlords has been lost, it is really nothing compared to what has been gained. After all, soldiers, horses, money, and food are the key to war, and the landlord is not one of them, but the saboteur. ”

Su Ziyan was stunned, and said for a while: "This Zhao Xun is really bold, he does this, that's ......"

The woman smiled, "Isn't it?" This is also what I admire, Zhao Xun, a real hero, will definitely be a hero in the future. ”

Su Ziyan smiled: "What? Sister Wei is tempted? ”

The young woman said, "I can't climb high, but the eldest lady can." My younger brother has the idea of joining the Fire Lin Army, you say ......," he said and shook his head.

Hearing the young woman's words, Su Ziyan was shocked, the intelligence officers sent by his side all wanted to join the Huolin Army, what did this mean?

Back at home, Zhao Xun was naturally warmly welcomed, in addition to Xu Qinlian, Li Ruolan and Li Xinyan, who had been living in the house, Su Ran was also there.

Seeing Su Ran, Zhao Xun couldn't help but think of her father Su Yunlai, if he hadn't met Su Yun, he wouldn't have the current Zhao Xun, although he saved Su Yun, but Su Yun brought him a chance to rise. But since he became the lord of Yanzhou Mansion, he has had less contact with Su Yun, and he suddenly felt guilty.

"Miss Su, what does Master Su do on weekdays? I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

Hearing Zhao Xun's name for himself, Su Ran was a little disappointed, but still replied softly: "My father? I spend my days at home basking in the sun, occasionally having drinks with friends, and now I don't have much to do, and I'm not as busy as before, and my mother is very happy about this. ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun decided to give Su Yun a position in the Governor's Mansion, after all, he was a "nobleman" who had risen by himself, and he couldn't use it up and ignore his past kindness.

Su Ran saw that Zhao Xun was no longer talking, and then asked, "Is this battle going well?" This battle is over, ready to stay at home? ”

Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "The war will be smooth when it comes, but staying at home is unlikely." ”

Li Ruolan on the side asked urgently, "What?" What's the matter? ”

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly: "The Yan Yan army, which was driven out of Yanzhou Mansion by us, invaded south again, and has already been killed under the county seat of Baixian. Here, they have to be driven back again. ”

Looking at the worried expressions of several people, Zhao Xun comforted: "What are you afraid of?" I can defeat him once, I can defeat him twice, and I have nothing to fear. ”

After having a meal with his family, Zhao Xun hurried towards Bai County again. At the same time, the heavy armor infantry of the heavy armored battalion of Gushan Fort will also rush to Baixian, while Gushan Fort will be stationed in two new barracks.

Zhao Xun took the guard battalion and hurried to Bai County first, while the heavy armor battalion rushed to Bai County with the logistics team. When I arrived at Baixian, the sky was dark, and the black smoke drifting in the sky above Baixian was still faintly visible, hovering, flying in the sky above Baixian, and I was reluctant to leave for a long time.

It seems that the day is another bloody battle! Zhao Xun couldn't help frowning.

After informing the name and checking the customs defense, Zhao Xun hurried into the city with the personal guard battalion, and Lin Luo, the captain of the Zhongzi battalion who rushed to hear the news, and Zhong Wen, the county commander of Baixian County, were all dressed in clothes and hurried to greet them.

"Go to the Captain's Mansion and talk!" Looking at the somewhat crowded street, Zhao Xun said urgently.

As soon as he entered the captain's mansion, Lin Luo knelt in the center of the hall and said bitterly: "My lord, they are all stupid subordinates, and they went out of the city to fight in the Northern Navy, losing more than 1,000 people, and also seriously injured the two captains Zhao Fei and Qin You who supported them. ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "You get up first and explain things to me one by one, what is going on?" ”

Lin Luo didn't get up, and said: "Six days ago, the Northern Navy killed 10,000 people in Bai County, and Zhong County Ling and I hurriedly let Bai County in the towns and villages north of the city retreat, and began to clear the wilderness. Who knew that part of Baixian was unwilling to evacuate, and finally fell into the hands of the Northern Navy. It may be that he saw the Jingguan in the north of the city, so he killed the people to vent his anger. More than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 people, and finally killed them one by one in front of all the soldiers in Bai County. ”

The soldiers defending the city were filled with righteous indignation, and they all said that they would go out of the city to kill the enemy. The subordinates took the Zhongzi battalion out of the city, but they were outnumbered and trapped outside the city, and finally the two captains led people out and rescued their subordinates, but Captain Qin and Captain Zhao were seriously injured, the Zhongzi battalion was lost more than half, and the infantry battalion also lost 500 people. It's all subordinates who are involved in it, so that's it. ”

Zhong Wen on the side also said: "In fact, the soldiers defending the city were full of indignation at that time, and the officers couldn't suppress it, so they sent troops out of the city to fight with the Northern Navy." It's not that Captain Lin deliberately wants to send troops to fight, my lord knows it! ”

As for the situation this time, Shadow Guard has already informed Zhao Xun of the detailed situation, and the actual situation is the same as what the two said, and it is indeed not Lin Luo's fault.

Zhao asked: "Lin Luo, get up!" It's not your fault, and you don't have to. The people of Baixian were able to return to the city along the way, thanks to your caution and sending long-distance exploration horses, otherwise, more than 10,000 people would have been killed. ”

Sighing, Zhao Xun said: "If you want to say something wrong, it's still my fault, I thought that the Yan Ya army would not kill, but it still came." I thought that Jingguan could deter the enemy army, but I didn't expect that thousands of people died tragically. ”

"Northern Navy! He looks good with you! ”

"By the way, how are Zhao Fei and Qin You's injuries? Where are people now? ”

Lin Luo replied hurriedly: "The two of them are not worried about their lives, but they are only injured in the abdomen and cannot get up for a while. Now he is cultivating in the back office of the Governor's Mansion. ”

"How has the offensive of the North Navy been lately?" Knowing that the two of them were not worried about their lives, Zhao Xun relieved himself, he didn't want his brother to be one less.

Lin Luo replied: "The offensive is extremely fierce, but it seems that the siege team is not the main force of the Northern Navy, some are similar to slaves or prisoners, and the equipment is poor, but when they attack the city, they are completely deadly." It can be said that the North Navy is using human lives to wear down our weapons and strength. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "These people should be the hostile forces of the Beihai King, and now they are forced to attack Bai County." This King of the North Sea is really a ruthless character. What siege equipment does the Northern Navy have? ”

Zhong Wendao: "At first, there were only ladders, but now crashes and siege towers have begun to appear. Fortunately, our supplies can still be transported from the south gate, otherwise, Bai County is afraid that it will be ...... by now."

"Looks like it's really bad! How many defenders are there in White County now? ”

Lin Luo smiled bitterly: "Originally, the Baixian garrison was the two infantry battalions of the Zhongzi Battalion and the Youfu Army, with a total of 3,000 soldiers. But now, in addition to the 500 cavalry, there are less than 800 foot soldiers of the 3,000 soldiers. The defenders of the city are all young and strong people who have volunteered to join, and after a few days of bloody battles, there are now thousands of soldiers who can be regarded as soldiers, but after all, they cannot be compared with regular soldiers. ”

After inquiring about the situation in Bai County, Zhao Xun came to the place where Zhao Fei and Qin You were recuperating.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Zhao Xun, the two were ready to get up to greet each other, but apparently, they forgot that they were seriously injured at the moment.

"Don't move! Take care of your wounds, and I'm counting on you two to get better and help me defend the city." Seeing that the situation of the two of them was indeed not bad, Zhao Xun really put his mind at ease. One of them was stabbed in the left chest and the other in the abdomen. But fortunately, both of them have been treated now and are fine.

"My lord, has the Yan Gang army of Yanshan Fort been defeated?" Qin You asked.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "The Yan army in Yanshan Fort has been completely annihilated by us, and now, our army has fully entered the territory of Yingzhou Capital and launched the recovery of Yingzhou Capital." I believe that it will not be long before the Yingzhou capital will also be ours. ”

"That's great! It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to attack the Yak Army. Both said with annoyance.

Zhao asked: "Who said, this battle of Baixian will take a while, as long as you recover from your injuries quickly, you will be able to fight with the Northern Navy, and you can't let the Northern Navy be injured, let's not reciprocate." ”

Zhao Lin said hatefully: "We must clean them up very much and avenge more than 10,000 people!" ”

"They won't be happy! Certain! Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
