() Sioux House, Council Hall.

Li Yuxuan and Su Bingbing sat on the side, and Li Xia sat on one side. Below stood several generals of the Suger garrison, Li Fang, Tang Xu and others.

No one could figure out what was going on. Several of Suger's generals peeked at Li Yuxuan, who was sitting at the top, from time to time, and secretly muttered in their hearts where this kid was sacred.

However, Li Fang and the others were full of curiosity about Su Bingbing's existence, and they didn't know what her identity was. And Tang Xu, who was standing at this moment, who was standing with Li put down his hand, clearly recognized that the girl sitting next to Li Yuxuan was the girl who knocked him out of the ring that day, and his heart was full of questions.

Just when everyone was in doubt, the old butler of the Su Mansion walked out from behind the screen of the conference hall, and walked straight to the seats of Li Yuxuan and Su Bingbing at this time, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall for a while.

"Generals, my lord has passed away just now. Sitting on it at this time was the young lady's fiancé, Young Master Li Yuxuan, who was also the current patriarch of the Li family. From today on, he will officially become the lord of Suger as the heir of the lord, and also inherit the title of marquis of the lord kingdom and all the fiefs. ”

For a while, the crowd was in an uproar.

The old butler did not say a word, but took out an official document from his bosom and handed it to the general who stood first on the right hand side of the hall. After all Suger's generals passed it on, they took it back from the last general and handed it to Li Yuxuan, who was at the top.

Several of Suger's generals glanced at each other a few times, and then under the leadership of the leading general, they saluted Li Yuxuan and said in unison:

"From today onwards, we will be as loyal to you as the old city lord!"

It turned out that what they had just passed was a suicide note written by Su Dongyao, which clearly pointed out that Li Yuxuan would take over the position of the city lord, and it was stamped with the seal of the city lord.

At the moment when Su Bingbing was announced as Li Yuxuan's fiancée, Tang Xu, who was standing below, suddenly turned pale and bloodless, and this expression fell into Li Yuxuan's eyes.

There's no way, I'll find a chance to explain to my brother in the future. And Su Bingbing, who was sitting next to Li Yuxuan, did not change his expression at all, and his face was still haggard. Everyone thought that she was still in the pain of losing her father just now. After all, for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, this pain does not disappear all at once.

When everyone was quiet, Li Fang stood up first.

"City Lord, the total number of Atterbury troops who invaded the kingdom this time was 64,000, including 22,000 light and heavy cavalry, 7,000 light infantry, and 35,000 heavy infantry, and captured Bollinger Pass at noon yesterday. ”

"And what about the enemy's movements now?"

As Su Dongyao's deputy, General Su Mi was shocked by the meticulous and detailed information of Li Fang and others, and obviously paid more attention to the next move of the Atterbury army.

"Five thousand hoplites and two thousand light cavalry set out yesterday overnight from Bollinger in the southwest direction, and the target was estimated to be the town of Wright, but it could not be conclusively determined. The remaining troops remained at Bollinger Pass, and for the time being there was no action. ”

"Leyte Town, this is the largest military grain storage place in the northern part of the entire kingdom! There should be more than a thousand kingdom soldiers stationed there for a long time!"

Sumi muttered to herself.

"General!" said the squad leader standing at the end of the squad with a shudder that made everyone present hear, "The three towns of Brin have taken refuge in the side of Atbury, and the news has been delivered to the city lord by the scouts this morning. ”

All the people's eyes widened in surprise, but Li Yuxuan, who was at the top, was unmoved, just frowned, muttering to himself, as if thinking about something.

"General Su, how many troops does Suger have now, and how is the establishment?" Li Yuxuan suddenly asked after thinking for a moment.

Although Sumi was still immersed in the huge impact of the information just now, he was a forty-year-old veteran of the battlefield after all. When he heard the current city lord's question, he immediately gathered his mind and reported the situation of the entire Sugar garrison one by one.

"The total strength of Suger is 4,000 men, and the specific establishment is one city guard brigade, one heavy cavalry brigade, two light infantry brigades and one heavy infantry regiment. ”

"Got it! By the way, how long will it take for the battle report ahead to reach me?"

Li Yuxuan is now asking the squad leader who spoke "stammering" just now, obviously he is in charge of intelligence work.

"For two days, we had a scout team rush to the front every other day. ”

"Then if you start from Bollinger Pass, how many days will it take to reach Sugal in the shortest time?"

"Two days, if it's cavalry. For infantry, it takes five days. ”

"Okay!" Li Yuxuan waved his hand to signal him to retreat into the queue, and turned his head to look at Li Qiu, who was standing second from the left, "From now on, you will be responsible for the operation of Suger's entire intelligence system, and send a scout team every two hours, I will get the latest battle report from the front at any time." ”

"Yes!" Li Qiu gave a military salute, "It's just the number of people in charge of intelligence, it should be ......"

"Don't worry, I'll transfer that heavy cavalry brigade to you and change it to a lightly armed scout unit! As for the current establishment of Suger's other troops, it will remain the same as it was and will not be changed. ”

Li Yuxuan's words were undoubtedly said to those former Suger generals who were standing on their right hands, which could temporarily give them peace of mind to fight against the enemy, without worrying that the power in their hands would be affected by the change of the city lord.

But Li Yuxuan also knew very well in his heart that this was only a temporary buffer. If it weren't for the fact that the war is tight now, I'm afraid that these generals would still be in trouble, and it would not be so easy for them to control the entire situation. And the most important thing for me now is a victory. Only then can they truly admit their current status from the bottom of their hearts. Only in this way can he establish his prestige in Suger's army, and if there is really any problem in the future, he can also gain the support of lower-level soldiers and generals.

After arranging the intelligence matters, Li Yuxuan announced the dismissal of the meeting, and Li Xia also accompanied Su Bingbing to the back to rest. There are only three people left, Li Yuxuan, Su Mi, and Li Fang in the entire council hall, and it is obvious that there are some important matters that need to be further discussed.

After Li Yuxuan instructed the servants in the palace to bring a large table, he immediately dismissed all the servants who remained around the council hall. Then he took out a huge scroll from behind the screen and spread it flat on the table.

This scroll, about five zhang long and eight feet wide, was none other than the map that hung in the tent of the "Black Dragon Knights" station. Li Fang hadn't seen it before, but he didn't think anything about it. But Sumi, who was on the side, was obviously surprised when he saw such a detailed and detailed map. In her nearly twenty-plus years of military career, Sumi had never seen a map that depicted the military disposition of the southern countries of the entire continent in such detail as the one in front of her.

"This one is based on the intelligence we have collected over the years, and it was drawn by my second uncle Li Qiu himself. ”

"Is that the same general just now?"

Su Mi was originally quite dissatisfied with Li Yuxuan's handing over the management of the intelligence system to a person who did not belong to Su Ge's military system, but after knowing that the map in front of him was from Li Qiu's hand, he had to admire his ability. It seems that the Li family is not only full of talents in business, but also elite in military, just like Li Fang, who is standing beside him at the moment, the military temperament exuded from his body is enough to show his strength.

Li Yuxuan nodded, and then turned his attention to the map.

"Two generals, do you have any thoughts on Atbury's use of such forces to attack Bollinger Pass this time?"

Su Mi glanced at Li Fang on the side, and saw that he didn't mean to answer, so he buried his thoughts in his stomach.

Before I don't know the temper of this new master, it's better to say less.

"General Li Fang, what do you think?" Li Yuxuan threw the question to Li Fang first.

"If it were me, as long as there were 30,000 light and heavy infantry, my subordinates would be ten percent sure that they could take Bollinger Pass, of course, if there was no backup at Bollinger Pass. ”

Su Mi on the side also nodded, agreeing with Li Fang's point of view.

"Waste, isn't it? So our biggest goal right now is not Bollinger Pass, it's here!"

Li Yuxuan's finger was on a small dot on the map, and next to it was marked a line of text:

Wright Town!

On November 20, 173 A.D., King Atbury** 20,000 cavalry set out from Bollinger Pass, and the destination was the city of Sugal, located in the center of the Luoping Plain. He was followed by 19,000 hoplites and 3,000 light infantry under the personal command of Remel. The flames of war began to spread from Bollinger Pass to the entire Lo Ping Plain, and no one knew how long the war would last and where it would end.

On the same day, Basr 20,000 horsemen arrived at Kefield, the capital of the Carol Kingdom. Bai Yunqi and his 3,000 cavalry disappeared at this critical moment, and the south gate guarded by him was immediately lost. After a short morning of street fighting, Basr's army completely took control of the city. When the old king learned of the destruction of the city, he finally completed his life's journey from his hospital bed, while the two princes were reduced to prisoners and escorted to Basil. Three days later, the party escorting the two princes was attacked by unknown thieves and killed by mistake.

It was from this day that the mainland began to move from superficial contracts to a process with war as the main theme.
