Chen An's face remained unchanged, his mind was racing, weighing the pros and cons, but after a while, he said with a smile: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, use it for a while, Lord and Uncle Han, you have cultivated me a lot on weekdays, and now at the critical moment, of course I have to use it on the top, once I have a life, don't dare to disobey." ”

"Okay", Jiang Luhan said with relief: "I knew your loyalty, and at the clan council the day after tomorrow, I will appoint you as the head of the three towns of Tan, Qian, and Qi. ”

"Thank you Uncle Han for your trust. "Good words don't need money, Chen An will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

The topic that followed was much easier, Jiang Luhan cared about Chen An's daily life, Chen An scrupulously answered one by one with the junior etiquette, and finally the two ended the conversation happily, and Chen An said goodbye and left.

After sending Chen An away, Jiang Luhan returned to the room and sat silently, as if waiting for something.

"Knock, knock, knock. ”

After a while, there was a sudden knock on the door of his room, as if he knew who was coming, he was still sitting on the chair and didn't move, and the person who came seemed to have an agreed version without waiting for his permission, and pushed the door in directly, it was Jiang Gan who had just left.

The first thing Jiang Gan did after coming in was not to greet Jiang Luhan, but to walk directly to the desk he used to work, put away a bronze mirror facing the place where Chen An had just sat down, and then looked at Jiang Luhan and said, "Sixth, what do you think? Do you really want to continue the story of ten years ago, as Fifth said?"

Jiang Luhan was silent for a moment, and did not answer Jiang Gan's question, but asked Jiang Gan: "Fourth brother, you also saw the scene just now, what do you think of Jun Yueyi's son?"

"Well, the means are sleek, decisive, both capable and ambitious, it's hard to imagine that this is a teenager who has not reached the crown, as for the character, I can't see through, you know, there are more people who are loyal and loyal, and there are more people like him, like him, if you really want to hide, who can see through it until the day when he is really exposed. ”

Jiang Gan spoke slowly, as if he was carefully evaluating everything he had just seen.

Jiang Luhan regained his usual serious face and said seriously: "Fourth brother also thinks that he is capable, this is okay, I think what was done ten years ago is very promising today." ”

"But Xijun ...... her"

Jiang Gan's face was hesitant, but before he could say what he was worried about, Jiang Luhan replied directly as if he knew what he was going to say: "From the moment Xi Jun became the lord, she was ready to sacrifice for the family, not to mention that she had a good impression of that gentleman, so she could only be regarded as a little wronged." ”

Jiang Gan still hesitated a little and said, "What Lao Wu said has always haunted my heart, the Gao Yang clan may grow, but at that time, was the Gao Yang clan still surnamed Jiang?"

Jiang Luhan's face was unmoved: "The Gao Yang clan will only have the surname Jiang, at most, Qingfu City will no longer have the surname Jiang, but what about that, if there is really that day, my Gao Yang clan will already take advantage of this east to soar into the sky, will I still care about a small Qingfu City?"

Jiang Gan was stunned, and only after a long time did he shake his head and sigh: "I didn't expect you to be so ambitious, maybe I should have fully supported you ten years ago." ”

"No", Jiang Luhan said calmly: "The incident ten years ago was actually my fault, I mislooked Shen Lin, I thought that good character and ability were enough, but now it seems that there is no ambition, the will is not strong enough, everything is false, now, I will never make the same mistake again." ”

When Chen An returned to Shen Lin's courtyard, it was lunch time.

Shen Lin has already set up a table to eat, this product is not only a warm man but also a little expert at home, although he is a little bit of a bad taste and a little cheaper, he is still good.

Chen An didn't be polite to him, and sat down to eat.

Shen Lin looked at him and said speechlessly: "Forget it, you are now my top boss, and I can't be angry with you." ”

So he also sat down, and also picked up a taro peel and put it in his mouth, feeling the sweet taste of soft and glutinous, and said vaguely: "What is Uncle Han looking for you?"

"Tell me to garrison the auxiliary city. ”

Chen An continued to eat with an indifferent face, but he didn't want Shen Lin to stand up and say, "What?

The food in his mouth hadn't finished swallowing yet, and it was spraying everywhere like this, so frightened that Chen An hurriedly put the table aside.

"How could he let you go and garrison the auxiliary city?"

Shen Lin couldn't care about eating and drinking at the moment, and his mind was full of the information that Chen An had just brought.

You must know that when the Twelve Cities are facing the Blood Demon Tide, it is a good thing to garrison the auxiliary city, because the Blood Demon will only attack the large main city with a large number of people, and the sparsely populated auxiliary city is generally not very interested, at most send some stragglers to harass one or two.

But when the enemy turned into the Great Cadre Changfeng Army, this situation was not right, the style of the Changfeng Army has always been to annihilate all the enemy's living forces, before attacking the main city, in order to prevent the enemy from being attacked on the back, the surrounding auxiliary cities will generally be uprooted first.

So at this time, under the trend that the Changfeng Army is about to carry out a retaliatory attack on the Twelve Liancheng, to garrison the auxiliary city, isn't that to send you to death?

"Don't disturb me eating. "Chen An is guarding the food, and he is really hungry if he doesn't have the vitality of the sea.

"You can still eat?" Shen Lin looked incredulous.

"Why don't you eat?" Chen An calmly bit down a large piece of animal meat.

"Talk to me to Uncle Han for a theory. Shen Lin said hurriedly, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"Why theorize, I think it's good. ”

"Okay, where is it? You don't know that if the Changfeng Army comes, we will not have the ability to resist at all, so we can only abandon the auxiliary cities and retreat into the main city, because all the auxiliary cities do not have the ability to resist the Changfeng Army. ”

Chen An raised his head and asked, "Then what if the Changfeng Army can't come?"

"Not coming?" Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "How is it possible?"

A hundred years ago, the personality of the cadres and soldiers was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it still makes the old people of the Twelve Cities remember it vividly, even the new generation like Shen Lin, under the influence of the ears and eyes, is also very afraid of the Changfeng Army. Therefore, in a hundred years, even if there is a shortage of population, the Twelve Cities only dare to go to the mining area to steal people, if it weren't for the next blood demon tide that is difficult to survive, such a large-scale raid would not have happened at all.

Now this kind of action is just drinking to quench thirst, that is, calculating that the current Twelve Cities are deeper into the hinterland of the Eastern Wilderness than the ten thousand city-states of the past, and the Changfeng Army is beyond the reach of the whip. But the last blockade proved how unrealistic this kind of extravagant hope is, because the equipment of the Changfeng Army has also been updated in the past hundred years, and the new type of air ship that can penetrate into the Eastern Wilderness for more than 45 days is the best example, so how can people not panic.

Chen An still said with an indifferent attitude: "How is it impossible? You don't have to be too pessimistic, you must know that it was the cadre army that defeated the city-state of all races back then, not the Changfeng army, and the current Twelve Liancheng and Changfeng Army may not be able to practice." ”

Since he wants to counterattack Taiyi Pass, how can Chen An not do his homework, these days, in addition to studying the soul card and improving himself, he also looks through his memory and goes back to the history of the scriptures and chapters he learned when he was in Kunlun Academy. He clearly remembered that in the heyday of Zhenguo Gong, there were four major military groups in Daqian to suppress it, namely the Guanzuo Military Group established on the ruins of the Guanzhong Army, the treasure of the family, the Dingshen Army Military Group stationed in the northwest to make the fairy demons tremble, the Northern Righteous Alliance Coalition Army formed by the sect forces of Zhen Guogong's biggest supporter, and the East China Sea Training Corps stationed in the northeast to defend the ice field.

Although Chen An has not commanded large-scale battles, he is by no means a person who does not know soldiers, and he was still strange when he first studied, thinking that there was nothing to guard against in the ice field, and the goods that only dared to stand behind the prairie and wave the flag and shout in previous wars required a whole military group to guard against it, which was too exaggerated, but now it seems that this military group was probably not guarding against the ice field at all, but the city-state of all ethnic groups at that time.

It's just that the Eastern Wilderness and the city-states of all ethnic groups are considered the black history of Daqian, and the relevant words have never existed in the textbooks that Chen An studied. But this did not prevent Chen An's reasoning and conjecture.

In a hurry, the Guanzuo military group was divided into the north and the south, and the forbidden army was still stationed in the center; the military group of the Dingshen Army changed its name and surname to Kunlun, and the garrison corps was still stationed in the northwest to defend the fairy demons and the Western Regions; the Northern Righteous Alliance coalition army existed in name only due to the split of sects, but its nutrients were bred and appeared in the Nie Haifeng military group, which was the strongest in Daqian; among the four major military groups, only the East China Sea Training Corps fell apart, leaving only the Changfeng Army.

Chen An always thought that the reason for this situation was that the family and the royal family wanted to erase the traces of the existence of Zhenguo Gong, but now that he thinks about it, why the other three military groups just changed their names, at most they reorganized, but there was no loss of strength at all, only the East China Sea Training Corps fell apart.

You must know that the Donghai Training Corps in its heyday was composed of five major corps, including the Dongxing Army, which had a strong frontal offensive force, the Changxing Elite Cavalry, which did sharp knife raids, the Mechanic Research Engineer Battalion, which could cooperate with large-scale operations of any arms, the Heluosui Battalion, which was good at building various fortifications, and the Changfeng Army, which was good at long-distance attacks.

And now, in the heyday, there were nearly 30,000 Changxing elite cavalry gone, and the machine research engineer battalion was also canceled and merged into the Heluosui battalion to fight, and even as the main corps, the Dongxing Army, which claimed to have 300,000 troops, can now only help transport grain and grass in the rear, or help transfer the distribution of wanderers. In the entire East China Sea Training Corps, there is only one Changfeng Army left, struggling to support the façade.

In that battle a hundred years ago, the people of the Twelve Cities only saw that most of their god rank had died, and they were terrified, but they never thought that the battle would also kick and break one of the four pillars of the Central Dynasty.

In Chen An's view, the duty of the Changfeng Army is to defend it, not to go deep and rush to achieve results, because no one can predict the consequences. Last time, they took revenge on the way to the mining area in the Twelve Liancheng, which is already a kind of limit, let them come to war, not to mention whether they have the ability or not, and the court will not allow it.

This is still the news brought by Wen Liang, the old emperor is dying, and the court has become a pot of porridge, how can it be easy to start a war with the outside world at this time.

However, Chen An did not plan to tell Jiang Luhan the news, or to persuade the high-level leaders of the Twelve Cities to give up preparing for the war, telling them that the cadres would not come, because it was a completely thankless task. When you see a poisonous snake with a bloody throat crawling on you, showing its fangs to you, and then someone tells you that it doesn't bite, but just scares you, can you stupidly let down all your guard and play happily with the poisonous snake?

So instead of shaking the tree to be a villain, it is better to show your loyalty and courage by taking advantage of the situation.
