Seeing the worry in Fan Bohou's eyes, the old lady comforted:

"It's definitely different, the king herself is a person who loves the people like a son, and the official team she wants to build will naturally be different from the previous ones."

"When the war broke out and hundreds of people were displaced, in the entire Xiyu Country, only the Heavenly King paid attention to the lives of the displaced people and resettled the displaced people at all costs."

"This alone can be seen that the Heavenly King is completely different from the previous emperors and those officials of the imperial court."

"It can also be seen from the officials she appointed and reused that she pays great attention to human character in employing people, and the emperor Zhou Yunxi she relies on has never served as a big official because he is unwilling to be in the same stream with those people in the officialdom before, otherwise, with Zhou Yunxi's talent and reputation, he is the first civil official!"

"General Liu, as the person most familiar with the Heavenly King, when he chose the city lord of Linghai City, he must also choose according to the standards of the Heavenly King, what he values for his senior brother should be the reputation and character of the senior brother, the senior brother just let go of the big work, there is no need to have any worries, I believe that the senior brother will definitely make Linghai City more prosperous, and the people will be more happy and healthy."

Fan Bohou immediately relieved and said:

"Senior sister is right, the king of heaven is a person who loves the people like a son, the court she created is definitely different from the previous court, Zhou everyone has always been my idol, he used to sneer at officialdom, unwilling to be a big official, but now he is willing to serve the king, it can be seen that the king of heaven in his mind, than the previous emperor and the prince are more respected by him!"

"Since she is a person that everyone in Zhou is optimistic about, I should be full of confidence in her, I must try my best to maintain the integrity of the officialdom of Linghai City and not disappoint the Heavenly King."

"Actually, the more important reason why I am willing to accept the appointment of General Liu is that I have my junior sister by my side, and I can't see through many things, if it weren't for my junior sister's help, I wouldn't even be able to do a good job as a dean, let alone be the lord of a city."

"Because I also understand that whether it is to be a dean or a city lord, it is not enough to have a pure heart, but also to have a big pattern, as well as the wisdom to see human nature, in this regard, the senior sister is far stronger than me."

"If I can, I'd rather nominate my junior sister to be the city lord, how good it would be for me to still be a dean."

The old lady shook her head and said:

"No, I can't be the dean, let alone the city lord, I'm used to being a quiet woman, I'm not used to showing my head and speaking in public, when facing others, I don't even want to talk more, only by my brother's side, I will know everything, talk endlessly, and help my brother analyze various situations."

"In the future, I will still be the military advisor next to my senior brother, and I will give advice to my senior brother in private, analyze all kinds of complex situations, and our complementary cooperation is the best match, just like the king of heaven and Liu Tingfeng, if it weren't for the situation, Liu Tingfeng probably wouldn't want to be a general for the rest of his life!"

Fan Bohou looked left and right, and couldn't help but ask softly:

"I heard that the relationship between the Heavenly King and Liu Tingfeng is very close, and it is by no means a simple relationship between a senior sister and a brother, according to the senior sister, what is their relationship?"

The old lady smiled and whispered back:

"Does that need to be said? Naturally, it's like this relationship between me and my senior brother! However, in this case, let's just talk about it, and we must not talk about it with outsiders, you know? ”

Fan Bohou immediately smiled meaningfully and said:

"Understand, understand, I know the importance, what to say and what not to say, I can still tell the difference, but I'm a little curious, so I'll just talk to my sister."

The two of them whispered in the study, Fan Bohou had already drunk the sobering soup and tea, and when he saw that it was already over, Fan Bohou said to the old lady:

"Talking to my junior sister, I'm calm down now, it's not early, let's rest quickly! Starting tomorrow, we will be busy, and we still have to keep our spirits up in order to cope with the myriad of work! ”

After speaking, they took the old lady's hand and walked to their bedroom together.

Early the next morning, Liu Tingfeng left the two million army in Linghai City, and then took Bai Xiaolong and Bing Lan to the Xiling Canyon again, preparing to face the two million army sent by Wu Changkong for reinforcements again.

Fan Bohou personally sent Liu Tingfeng's army out of the city gate, and after watching them go away, he turned around and returned to the city.

According to the distance, two days later, the two armies happened to meet again in the Xiling Gorge.

The spies reported that Wu Changkong's army was indeed rushing to the Xiling Gorge, because Liu Tingfeng deliberately blocked the news of the previous ambush, so Wu Changkong's reinforcements did not receive the news.

However, that night, the spies reported that Wu Changkong's 2 million army had turned around and was about to return to Yong'an City.

It turned out that when they were about to approach the Xiling Gorge, they finally found out the news that the two million troops in front of them were ambushed, and when they were hesitating whether it was necessary to move on, they received a message for help from Yong'an City.

Yong'an City was also raided by Mu Qianmei's army.

The army in front has been ambushed, and the base camp in the rear has also been sneak attacked, they immediately chose to return to Yong'an City without hesitation, and rescuing the base camp is the top priority.

Liu Tingfeng, who got the news, immediately gathered Bai Xiaolong and Bing Lan to discuss the matter.

Liu Tingfeng looked at Bai Xiaolong and asked:

"Xiaobai, how should we choose?"

Bai Xiaolong groaned slightly, and then replied happily:

"I propose to speed up the march and follow the pursuit."

Liu Tingfeng looked at Bing Lan and asked:

"What does ice blue mean?"

Bing Lan replied coldly and succinctly:

"Chase!"

Just one word, the tone is very firm.

Liu Tingfeng thought about it for a longer time, and he said softly:

"Linghai City has been stabilized for the time being, and the matter of catching up with Gao Xiujie is indeed not in a hurry, and the siege battle of Yong'an City will not be so smooth, no matter what, it is Wu Changkong's base camp after all, if it can't be attacked for a long time, and the reinforcements here arrive in time, the situation of General Baili will not be optimistic."

"Okay, let's speed up, follow the pursuit, be sure to go to support General Baili, if we can catch up on the way, it would be better, we will attack them directly."

After a brief discussion between the three of them, they set up camp first, and no matter how urgent the march was, they had to rest when it was time to rest, and if they had their spirits rested, the speed of the march would be faster.

However, they chased for three days in a row, but they couldn't catch up, and the spies reported that the situation in Yong'an City was critical, and they continued to urge them, so they hurried almost day and night, and only when they were really hungry and sleepy, they would take a short rest, so their speed was also very fast.

Liu Tingfeng couldn't help but ask Bai Xiaolong:

"Xiaobai, should we speed up too?"

Bai Xiaolong replied almost without hesitation:

"No, don't look at them rushing day and night, in fact, we are chasing faster than them, after we slept for a night, the speed of the march is faster, and the physical strength and mental state of the soldiers are very good, we don't want to see them in a hurry, but also in a hurry, there are still two days to catch up before, and now if you want to catch up, you can catch up in half a day."

"It's just that, in this way, our army is also a tired division, and with a tired division against another tired division, our advantage is not so obvious."

"We can't change with their rhythm, but march at our own pace, we have a good spirit tonight, we can catch up tomorrow night, when the time comes, we will sneak attack them with a full mental state, and we will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort."

Liu Tingfeng said in a slightly anxious manner:

"But tomorrow night, they will not be far from Yong'an City, and if they are allowed to join forces with the army of Yong'an City, it will be even more difficult to win."

Bai Xiaolong shook his head and replied:

"No matter how fast they are, it will take a day and a night to reach Yong'an City, at present, Yong'an City, our army has a great advantage, from the news that it can be known, General Baili has easily taken the city around Yong'an City, and now Yong'an City is a lonely city, and it has been besieged by our army."

"How easy is it for this support army to successfully break through our defense line and enter Yong'an City? General Baili will inevitably stop them, and in order to be able to recuperate their spirits, they will definitely choose to rest a little tomorrow night, and our task is not to let them rest well. ”

"In this war, in order to reduce casualties, we will not fight them head-to-head, but we will continue to sneak attack and harass them in a flexible and mobile way, forcing them to move forward, and when the time comes, we will fight with General Baili before and after, and take them in one fell swoop."

Liu Tingfeng thought about it and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Your method of fighting reminds me of my senior sister, she likes to fight with this way of fighting the most."

Bai Xiaolong said in surprise:

"Oh? And such a thing? Did the Celestial King also like this style of play in previous wars? ”

Liu Tingfeng nodded and replied:

"Yes, Senior Sister also called this kind of combat method guerrilla warfare, and for this reason she also summed up a 16-character policy, that is-the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase."

"Senior sister said that this way of fighting, flexible and mobile, can minimize the casualties of our army, but the damage to the enemy is very great."

Bai Xiaolong's eyes lit up and he muttered:

"Guerrilla warfare? Ha ha...... It's a good name, yes, it's guerrilla warfare, and that's the most apt name. ”

"This sixteen-character policy is also very subtle! I only have a vague idea, but I have never summed up any battle policy, these 16 words are indeed a very concise summary, tonight after all the officers and men of our army have recuperated their spirits, tomorrow night, we will proceed according to this way of fighting. ”

"We just want to make this tired army even more tired, and wear out their will to fight little by little."

"When they have no way to retreat and can only choose to move forward, we will launch the most fierce attack when they reach the outside of Yong'an City, and cooperate with General Baili to annihilate them outside Yong'an City, so that they will leave an eternal regret."
