Chapter 274: Chanting
"Let's go out for a walk with Ling Xuan!" I don't know why, in the military tent, Ling Xuan can only feel a burst of sullenness, and after looking at Jia Lan who bowed his head and stood silently for a long time, Ling Xuan suddenly said.
Garland nodded softly.
At this time, it is noon, the sun is lazily hanging overhead, compared to the depression of the dark clouds in the past few days, today can be said to be a rare good weather.
"I didn't expect to be back here so soon. Patting the tree that was still stained with blood, Ling Xuan let out such an exclamation, the sound of killing seemed to ring in his ears, and it was here that Magula left Ling Xuan and went to meet with Lord Char and General Lamis alone.
"The hosts. Garland took a step forward, as if he wanted to comfort Ling Xuan, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"The commander of the Wandering Legion, the first dragon general of the Djegunvol, and the guardian officer of Landinovia, the title pressed on Ling Xuan's head is really heavy, so heavy that it takes three thousand lives to confirm this fact. ”
Knocking on the trunk of the tree, the enemy Ling Xuan lying under this soil has nearly three thousand lives, and the other name of the Telavino infantry battle is "one-man war", all the sacrifices only make Ling Xuan's name shine on the mainland, and the rest, nothing.
"Master, this is fate. Garland suddenly said this.
Ling Xuan looked at her and laughed: "Fate, fate once chose Ling Xuan to be a god." ”
Garan raised her head, revealing a shocked expression, after all, disrespect for gods is no different from a madman in the eyes of ordinary people, but her eyes quickly softened, and she said softly: "Master, for Garan, you are already a god. ”
"Yes, Ling Xuan is already a god!" Raising his head, letting the not-so-warm sunlight shine on his face, feeling the breath of the heavens, then Ling Xuan's eyes widened and said to Jia Lan: "Since Ling Xuan is already a god, it is necessary for Ling Xuan to change his fate, Ling Xuan must change your fate first." ”
"Master......" Garland looked puzzled.
"Garan, after so many things, Ling Xuan doesn't want you to disappear from Ling Xuan's side again, since Ling Xuan is a god, then please agree to the god's request...... To be Ling Xuan's wife, not the wife of the commander of the Wandering Corps, but to be Ling Xuan, the wife of the Semitic Fap Hines, to give birth to a child for Ling Xuan, so that Ling Xuan's soul can be inherited in another situation. ”
If it was the original Ling Xuan, he would never have the courage to say such a thing, but when he realized that there was no possibility of leaving anything in his soul, Ling Xuan finished speaking in one breath, and then blushed and looked at Garland.
Garland's eyes were a little distracted, and after a moment of silence, he nodded.
Ling Xuan didn't know how to describe Ling Xuan's mood at that time, when the great joy rushed to his heart, Ling Xuan couldn't help but pull out his scimitar and roared at the sky, countless forest birds were startled, hovering in the sky, making a noisy sound.
The nearby guards were alarmed by Ling Xuan's roar, and rushed over with scattered steps, and after a while, they formed a circle around Ling Xuan.
"My lord, what's going on?" asked one of the guards cautiously.
"Tell everyone, Ling Xuan is ready to marry Garan as Ling Xuan's wife!" Ling Xuan shouted loudly.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then let out a cry of joy, and then flew everywhere, and the sound came from afar, and soon merged into a torrent that swept over the whole camp.
New life was born from the place of death, and this strange thought crossed Ling Xuan's mind in an instant.
"Garan, Ling Xuan doesn't have any good dowry for you, so let's use the happiness of hundreds of thousands of people in the territory as your dowry!" Turning his head, Ling Xuan suddenly said, let the people in the territory live in peace, this merit can bless Ling Xuan's children to grow up happily!
Garland's face bloomed with a smile like a melting glacier, and at that moment, Ling Xuan felt as if he felt spring flowers blooming in front of Ling Xuan......
"Nonsense, nonsense!" De Cos raised his hair, rushed to Ling Xuan, and splashed saliva on Ling Xuan's face: "I just thought you were mature, but at this time you suddenly wanted to get married, Fap, when did you become a single-celled creature like Rhaedis?"
Wiping the saliva from his face, Ling Xuan said, "Ling Xuan wants to marry Jia Lan, and Jia Lan also agreed, it's as simple as that, there's no need to be so angry!"
"God, Fap, what time is it, you have just experienced the crushing defeat of being ambushed, and now it is even more time to march into Fran, and you are suddenly going to get married. What others think, they will say, "Oh, it turns out that Fap is nothing more than a lustful unscrupulous person." And the wall in Sylvia is thinking about whether it is better to throw himself into the arms of the womanizers, or to go to the enemies of the same nobles. De Cos's anger rose, and he finished the above words in one breath, and then gasped sharply.
"Strategist, take a sip of tea. At this time, it was not a good opportunity to anger him, Ling Xuan hurriedly handed over Decos's favorite teacup and said softly.
De Cos took the teacup, and his tone suddenly softened a little: "Fap, Ling Xuan is not here to stop you from marrying Garan, Garan is a good girl and is worthy of you, but, please look at the timing." You're going to fight a bloodless battle, and if you let those people in the noble army underestimate you, where will you get your chance!"
Ling Xuan nodded: "Ling Xuan is very clear, but before Ling Xuan announced this matter to everyone, Ling Xuan had already thought about the consequences, and he had also made a decision at that time. ”
"Oh, Ling Xuan would like to hear about it?" Decos put down his teacup and stared at Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and then said, "Ling Xuan wants to show weakness. ”
"Ahh
"Ling Xuan's current troops are too sharp and exposed, especially this time, tens of thousands of troops have been mobilized...... If Drakop pays too much attention to Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan will only be able to meet the challenge of the south in winter, and the barbarians have heard that the recent offensive is very weak!"
"You have a point. ”
"Also, Ling Xuan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the dissidents in the army in one fell swoop. Ambitionists must only reveal their purpose when they think they have a chance, and now Ling Xuan will give them a chance. ”
De Cos blinked, and then suddenly said: "Indeed, although the current army is very large, it is far from the original purity, it's just that Ling Xuan suspects that if there is any turmoil, I am afraid that it will affect Ling Xuan's future way out." ”
"It's just a matter of dropping the seeds now, and if you want to harvest them, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while!"
Decos sighed: "It is always said that Ling Xuan is a fox, Ling Xuan thinks that the real fox should be you!"
"The military advisor has won the award, but many things may not be developing according to Ling Xuan's ideas, maybe, the seeds planted today will become a big tree that cannot be cleaned up tomorrow. ”
"Haha, at that time, let's cut it down with Ling Xuan!"
Facing Decos, Ling Xuan also laughed out loud, as if attracted by Ling Xuan's laughter, Radius opened the tent and rushed in: "Fap, Ling Xuan's little warriors of Travino are back!"
"yes, that's good news. For that Falis, Ling Xuan gave a high evaluation, and it was really unexpected for Ling Xuan to come back at this time, Ling Xuan hurriedly signaled to lead the way, and followed Radius to see the little assassin of Travino who had been away for almost a few months......
Faris and Yani hugged each other warmly, and after seeing Ling Xuan's arrival, they were reluctant to separate, the little Travino looked a little taller, and the growth rate of children in this period was really amazing.
"My lord, Farys Laleh is back in the team. Farys knelt down in front of Ling Xuan and said.
Ling Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Very welcome, but have you taken care of the affairs at home?"
As if touching Farlis's pain, he lowered his head with red eyes: "Yes, everything has been dealt with." ”
Needless to say, Ling Xuan also knew that his family was all unfortunate, and after sighing softly, he said, "If there is nowhere to go for the time being, stay in the army!"
"Thank you, my lord, but Ling Xuan hopes that my lord will promise Ling Xuan one thing. Faris suddenly raised his head, a resolute expression.
Looking at his eyes, Ling Xuan couldn't refuse at all, nodded, Faris showed a childlike smile, and then clapped his hands, and saw dozens of Travino teenagers of the same age as him appear in front of him: "They are all the same as Ling Xuan, they have lost their villages and families, Lord Fapu annihilated those villains who destroyed Ling Xuan's villages, that is, he avenged Ling Xuan, according to the practice of the Travino people, Ling Xuan can only repay this kindness with his life." Therefore, please accept Ling Xuan and let Ling Xuan participate in the war. ”
"Yes, this is the descendant of Ling Xuan's Travino, Fap, just accept them!" Retis on the side cracked his mouth, his face full of pride.
Engage children in battle...... Feeling like an executioner, but Ling Xuan couldn't think of any other way to settle these orphans, the self-esteem of the Travino people, Ling Xuan could be regarded as having seen a lot, after turning a few thoughts, Ling Xuan said: "Okay, Ling Xuan specially set up a youth league, Falis Lale, Ling Xuan appointed you as the head of the regiment, Yanni, you are Faris's assistant." ”
"Yes!"
"For the first task, you will temporarily follow the actions of the grain and grass team to ensure the safety of Ling Xuan's lifeline. "It's a good idea to move the kids to the rear.
Although there was a little disappointment on his face, Falis still saluted solemnly and said that he accepted the task, Ling Xuan continued: "But before this, let's take a rest in the camp tent first, it's hard to travel so far!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Young beings, looking at them, Ling Xuan seemed to have come out of the shadow of losing Magura. Today is really a lively day, looking at the sun that has sunk in the west, Ling Xuan has a smile from the bottom of his heart......
The news of the Commander of the Wandering Legion, the First Dragon General of the Tergent Wall, and the Guardian of Landinovia was linked to the marriage of Daiki in a matter of days.
It seemed to be similar to Ling Xuan's expectation, after snorting coldly, Drakop in the south stopped paying attention to the war in the north and focused more on dealing with the barbarians, while on the other hand, Ling Xuan stepped up the siege of the Fran side, while constantly persuading the renegades, while pushing the troops at the forefront to the city of Fran, I heard that the urgent documents rained down on the table of the southern Drakop.
"Winter is coming, once it snows, the enemy will retreat, you are also warriors from noble backgrounds, if even a womanizer is afraid, Ling Xuan will not spend any effort to save such waste!"
This was Drakop's reply, and the Francos seemed to have given up on themselves, and soon abandoned the outer defenses and retreated to the city of Fran, at this time, the first troop of grain carts had already driven out of the Lost Forest and stepped on the road to the Travino steppe......
"It's snowing...... Ling Xuan stretched out his hand to catch the white ice crystals that were falling from the sky.
A snowflake landed on his hand and quickly turned into a drop of water, which turned into mist and dissipated after a roll, followed by a second flower. Clapping his hands, Ling Xuan turned his head to Melchior behind him and said, "How's the grain?"
"Everything went well, after Ling Xuan took over the grain cart from the Gandar people, they delivered it to Travino as soon as possible, but it was ......"
"The Gandals have left some!" Looking at Melchior's face, he knew what good things Ling Xuan's people had done.
"Yes, my lord, they have withheld about fifty thousand stone of food, and Lord Fapu will forgive them for their difficulties......" Melchior's face was ugly, and he barely scolded out loud.
"Forget it, the Gandals are also nominally allies of Ling Xuan's people, and if they are allowed to starve to death, it will not be a good thing for Ling Xuan. Ling Xuan waved his hand, revealing a wry smile.
"Yes, sir. Melchior sighed slightly, so he had no choice but to respond, then raised his head, looked at the white sky, and said: "Since the adults don't pursue the matter of grain and grass, then forget it, but my lord, the weather is really not suitable for Ling Xuan to continue to besiege Flange, is it necessary to withdraw the troops to Travino in batches." If the weather continued to be so bad and the snow was too deep, Ling Xuan's situation would be more dangerous. ”
"Ling Xuan knows. Ling Xuan retracted his hand, wiped it on his armor, tilted his head and thought about it, and then said, "Inform all the troops to evacuate tonight." ”
Melchior's eyes widened: "All evacuate, my lord, in this case, is it a little hasty, if the enemy detects, he will soon be pursued by light cavalry, Ling Xuan's army is basically infantry, if you meet the battle, it is very unfavorable, is it appropriate to leave some troops, and then point more flags to confuse the enemy in France." ”
"No need, let's just go, the current French army, just like suspicious rabbits, will not come out to pursue Ling Xuan, they are still wondering if Ling Xuan is tricking them into coming out for a decisive battle!"
Since the adults thought so, Ling Xuan immediately went to pass the order. ”
"However, in the past two days, Ling Xuan had to slow down and make a gesture of waiting for the Fran army to come up, now it's just a little snow, and for Ling Xuan, there is still a chance to break through Fran City, right?" Ling Xuan smiled.
Melchior gave a thoughtful look, then a hint of respect flashed in his eyes, and he saluted, "Yes, my lord!"
Ling Xuan knew that Melchior had already understood what Ling Xuan meant, the enemy on the French side, but he had suffered enough from Ling Xuan's army's sneak attack, and seeing Ling Xuan's retreat so slowly, of course, he immediately thought of whether he wanted to tempt them to take the bait, and then attack the city.
For the frightened bird, just use a small sound. Winter was officially about to enter the coldest days, and Ling Xuan didn't want to spend the harsh winter in Flange, a place where enemies were on three sides.
Looking at the flange caged in the snow, Ling Xuan grinned and said, "I'm really sorry, I can't come to receive you now, wait for next year, if it goes well, I can pin Ling Xuan's military badge on you." ”
The snow continues to fall, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger......
Just as Ling Xuan expected, Flang's enemies did not show any signs of pursuit until Ling Xuan retreated into Travino, but after that, Flange's enemies hurriedly released a message: "...... Repelling the attack of tens of thousands of traitors, the corpses are piled up under the city of Fran, the traitors are gone, and in the spring of next year, they will follow the banner of Lord Drakop and annihilate the Franco-Prussian party in one fell swoop......"
Sometimes I really doubt the brains of those nobles, it seems that flattery has become their instinct, exaggerating the results of the battle to such an extent, it has to make Ling Xuan admire, but this is good, it can show the weakness of Ling Xuan's army, then after the spring of next year, the enemy's attention will be more on the other side!
After throwing away the report submitted by the spy, Ling Xuan ignored Fran's movements, and began to prepare for his wedding to Garan while distributing the grain and grass to the various places under his jurisdiction.
Garland is not a person who likes to be extravagant, and besides, these are difficult times, so the preparations for the wedding are very simple, and after the news of Lord Fapu's marriage is announced in various places, the New Year's birthday and the wedding ceremony are simply handled together.
※※※
The first day of the first month of the first month of the year of the year 1355 in the royal calendar
At this time last year, while preparing for the New Year's birthday, Ling Xuan sneaked up on the Wyton Norr Army in the cloister, and the snow was as heavy as it is now. Under the same snowy sky, the personnel are already different.
A lot of things have happened in a year, and at that time, it was almost reduced to a wandering army that became the guardian army of a small northern country, but now it has swept through half of the continent, and everything is really like a dream. Standing at the head of Danlu's city, countless thoughts turned in Ling Xuan's mind, "Master." Garland stood beside Ling Xuan and snorted softly.
Ling Xuan turned his head and forgot to breathe for a while, although Jia Lan was still wearing a corseted battle uniform today, he didn't know when the color would change to pink, even the silver hair that had covered his face for many years was neatly combed behind his ears, and his face was lightly powdered, making her skin look extraordinarily fair, and her lips were like delicate roses.
She had always thought that Garland was very beautiful, but when she really dressed up, Ling Xuan found that the word beautiful was really difficult to describe her beauty.
Seeming embarrassed by Ling Xuan, Garan lowered his head and said, "Master, everyone is waiting for you." ”
Ling Xuan patted his head: "Yes, today is the day of great joy for Ling Xuan and Garland, and they should sit on their seats early and drink the wedding wine handed over by everyone." ”
Garan's head hung lower, as if it was about to touch his chest, looking at her shyness, Ling Xuan laughed, and the original sentimentality dissipated from Ling Xuan's heart without a trace.
"Ling Xuan, let's go!" Saying that, Ling Xuan stretched out his hand, Garan looked up at Ling Xuan, and after a trace of blush slipped across his face, he also stretched out his hand, and the two hands were gently clasped together.
"Garland, starting today, you will be Ling Xuan's wife!"
"Yes, master. ”
The sound wafted through the city of Danlu and did not dissipate for a long time......
"Cheers!" Retis blushed and raised his glass: "Let's have a good drink today, finally Ling Xuan's Lord Fapu begged his daughter-in-law, congratulations to them!"
The hall of the meeting was filled with a noisy atmosphere, even the principals of Landinovia and Tegenvol rushed over, and Brother Rusu dragged Ling Xuan aside early in the morning, and said with a smile: "After today, you are an adult, congratulations!"
"That's right, after passing this level, he is more qualified to be the commander of Ling Xuan's people, otherwise, Ling Xuan has been dissatisfied for a long time if he is in charge of a milky child who has not dried up. Decos's mouth was full of wine, and he drunkenly bumped into Ling Xuan's side, grabbed Ling Xuan, and shouted loudly.
Ling Xuan was eager to find a hole to get into, and it wasn't long before another poisonous tongue rushed over.
"Ling Xuan's Lord Fapu, finally can't bear to ask for a wife, but it's really pitiful for Jialan, she was trapped by such an incomprehensible guy at a young age, if it is possible, Ling Xuan will rescue her. With a vicious grin, Tatum cracked his mouth and laughed.
"Alright, if it were you, that guy wouldn't have looked at you!" De Cos tilted his head, more viciously.
"But it's better than you old fellow!"
"It's hard to say......"
The two men looked at each other, then laughed in unison, raised their glasses and touched them.
"For the idiot commander of Ling Xuan. ”
"For poor Miss Garland. ”
Holding Garland's face, Ling Xuan imprinted a tremor on her lips, and the surroundings became dark, except for the rustle of snow on the ground outside, and the last music of winter was playing......
"Commanders of Ling Xuan, you are still indulging in Miss Garland's gentleness!"
This is the story that circulated in the New Yarufasil Liberation Army in early 1355, and the rumors were spread by old men with fox smiles and unscrupulous young people, and then after being exaggerated by more people, Ling Xuan was turned into a decadent and faint monarch who ignored government affairs.
As the person concerned, Ling Xuan frowned, sitting in the living room and looking at the news from the front-line scouts, it is now the season of heavy snowfall, most of the roads have been covered by snow, logically speaking, there should be no war, but judging from the reports from all over the world, it seems that everyone has gone crazy.
"Master, is there something wrong?" handing a cup of hot tea to Ling Xuan, Garan showed a look of concern.
Even if she becomes Ling Xuan's wife, she can't change the humility she used to have, the only thing that makes Ling Xuan happy is her face, which often has a hint of a smile, this can be regarded as Ling Xuan's achievement, some things are better to take your time.
Patting Jia Lan's hand, Ling Xuan said with a little worry: "It's a bit troublesome, everything is very abnormal. ”
"Abnormal?" Garland tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Are you going to call the generals?"
Although Garan was an excellent warrior in her own right, she did not want to interfere in military affairs, and quickly made this suggestion.
Ling Xuan nodded: "Those guys should have been brought here, otherwise, I don't know when they will spread the rumors." ”
Garland chuckled and lowered his head, then clapped his hands, and there was a soft sound of broken footsteps on the roof, as if someone was leaving, and it didn't take long for the officials of the army command to rush over.
The meeting took place not in the house, but in the bright corridor, with a few low tables, a few stoves, looking at the snow outside, and a few sips of Langji wine, it was a comfortable meeting that made people moan.
"Ling Xuan's commanders, since he begged his wife, he will enjoy it. Taking off his shoes, Decos, who was the first to sit by the fire, stretched out his hand and muttered a comfortable moan.
"A change of environment! Sitting in a drowsy house all the time is not good for your health. Ling Xuan responded to the old fox's words with a smile, and then turned his head to scan the officers sitting in the column, although some companions were sacrificed, but the people I saw today were still full of people sitting around the three tables, including Faris and Preston, it was the first time for the officers to participate in this kind of meeting that symbolized the highest level of the military organization.
As if he was not used to it, Ling Xuan's palace of the Duke of Preston glanced left and right for a long time before sitting next to Melchior, who was also a noble officer.
"El-Fasir's Northern Army, which had launched its winter offensive six days earlier, was advancing almost on the corpses of its own men, and I heard that most of the soldiers were improvised peasant soldiers, and even those under the age of fifteen and over fifty were drawn into the ranks. ”
When the scout's letter was circulated to the officers, Ling Xuan briefly explained the situation, not everyone in the officer hierarchy could understand what the scout wrote.
"There are more than 10,000 dead and wounded, is this an attack or a death!" Tatum screamed in surprise with his eyes wide open.
"Where!" Retis next to him snatched it, looked back and forth for a while, and then handed it to the next one unwillingly.
"What a slaughter in disguise!" De Cos shook his head and directly stated the intention of the Northern Army: "It seems that the food crisis will affect them faster than Ling Xuan's!"
"But aren't the people of Taranvino in the grain business right now?"
"The people of Taranvino are very shrewd, besides, those noble lords don't care about the life and death of the people below, if they want to buy only the grain and grass needed by the army and the inner court, there are very few people like Ling Xuan's commanders who empty the treasury to buy food for the people!"
The officers talked a lot, revealing a leisurely atmosphere that had nothing to do with themselves. It is no wonder that they have this kind of thinking, in the world of war, they can quickly divide people into different camps, and for the enemy, whether it is the army or the people, they are enemies, even if they are compatriots born from the same roots. Ling Xuan coughed lightly, and stopped the officers from drinking while turning the meeting into a drinking party for small talk.
"Another news, the famine has also occurred in Yarufasir, a large number of fugitives have appeared in the border area, the people of Falan seem to have sucked away all the strong men inside, and drove the old and young women and children to the territory of Ling Xuan, and the urgent report from the Sylvia side sent sixteen letters in three days, saying that they were really overwhelmed and needed to send people and food to meet the refugees. Ling Xuan continued.
"It's not good if too many people die in Ling Xuan's territory. Decos burped and said in confusion.
"And even more confusing is the fact that there have been massive fights between civilians in the border areas. ”
"Ahh
"No way, the people on both sides are Yarufasir......"
"This, it should be definite news, the victims have already been reported, both sides. ”
Starvation was perhaps the most threatening weapon, and some of the frontier people in the territory spontaneously organized militias to use force to drive those who fled in.
"Ling Xuan's food was bought by Ling Xuan's hard work, why should it be distributed to you people from enemy countries!"
On the other side, from the initial "Ling Xuan are compatriots, can't you pity Ling Xuan?" to "Since it is an enemy country, Ling Xuan is here to grab food!" It took only three minutes for the change of feelings, and then there was a large-scale fight, and in the recorded reports, the number of victims was one hundred and fifty-three, and the number was constantly expanding.
Psychologically, along the line of Sylvia, Yarufasil has been divided into two hostile states. There was no war in the winter, but the situation was even more dangerous than the war.
"If you follow this situation, Ling Xuan will have to deal with the hungry soldiers in the north on the one hand, and the hungry people in the south on the other, and the new country will be finished because of hunger, which is really a ridiculous result. Decos let out a breath of wine, as if uttering it with the last of his senses, and then slid under the table.
"The impact of the famine is much more serious than Ling Xuan thought, according to this trend, it is estimated that 300,000 refugees will pour in in a short period of time, this number is far more than Ling Xuan can bear, and the reaction of the border people is to some extent to delay the influx of refugees. In terms of interests, Ling Xuan should not overreact to this. Melchior, with a calm face, then made a suggestion that, as before, in order to protect himself, he had to sacrifice the interests of the people appropriately.
"Let's send people to the border, if we let the fighting continue to expand, it will make meaningless blood flow. Moreover, following the orthodox knightly way, Ling Xuan could not abandon the weak. Preston said suddenly, and his thin body seemed to shrink from the cold wind.
Ling Xuan looked at this newly joined nobleman for a long time and laughed: "Ling Xuan has come all the way from Landinovia under the banner of opposing the nobles, if Ling Xuan can't even compare to the mercy of the nobles, there is no need to go down!"
Melchior opened his mouth and said nothing more.
"This matter is up to ......" Originally, Ling Xuan wanted to push the boat down the river and let Preston deal with it, but after thinking about it, it was still inappropriate, and then turned his head and picked another person: "Melchior, you are responsible." ”
"My lord, Ling Xuan is in charge?" Melchior looked surprised.
"Ling Xuan knows that you don't agree to this matter, but Ling Xuan believes in your ability to handle things, and Ling Xuan's chiefs of staff can handle the most difficult tasks!" Ling Xuan smiled after taking a sip of Lang Si wine.
"This ......" Melchior hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Since Lord Meng takes a fancy to it, the lower officials will definitely try their best to handle this matter." ”
"As for Lord Preston, Ling Xuan would like to ask you to build a new city close to Sivia to house the refugees. ”
Preston blinked, puzzled.
"Just build it out of wood, Ling Xuan doesn't need a strong fortress, as long as it can live in people, the land there should be suitable for farming, and in the coming year, he will rely on those to provide enough food." ”
Ling Xuan ignored Preston's surprise and continued, seemingly immersed in his own thoughts: "As for the manpower, let the refugees do it themselves, as long as Ling Xuan can provide enough food. ”
"My lord, I don't understand why Zai Xia is responsible for this matter?"
"Lord Preston used to be an excellent lord, but it's a pity that the original manor has been destroyed by the war, this city will be your city in the future, and it is okay to name it Preston City, as for the refugees who live there, Ling Xuan hopes that you will treat them well with the mentality of a manager rather than a ruler." Ling Xuan said with a smile.
Preston threw himself on the floor, his face showing a complicated expression, and after a while, he slammed on the floor and began to cry: "My lord, from now on, Preston entrusts you with the future of the Orville family. ”
"The ability to win people's hearts is the best in the world. Later generations used this tone to evaluate Ling Xuan, and they didn't know if this ability was born or realized later, but Ling Xuan knew that for different people, he couldn't use a single encouragement, after all, many people in this world lived for themselves.
"The situation is not optimistic now, whether Ling Xuan can survive this winter depends on your performance. ”
"Yes, sir. After taking the last sip of wine, the officers lowered their heads.
"The snow scene is very beautiful, next year, Ling Xuan will have a good drink here!" Turning his head to look outside, the snow covered the rockery in the courtyard thickly, and the ground was like a soft white carpet, this is a kind of whiteness that purifies people's souls, and if you can drink wine and look at this scenery, it is really a happy life.
After listening to what Ling Xuan said, the officers with solemn faces cast their eyes outside, and then laughed heartily.
With a look of relief, the officers retired, except for Decos, who was still asleep under the table.
Taking off his coat and gently covering De Cos's body, Ling Xuan sat on the edge of the corridor and stretched out his feet to step on the snow, the soft snow immediately wrapped Ling Xuan's feet, feeling a different kind of warmth, Ling Xuan exhaled comfortably.
The snow was still falling, raising his head and looking at the sky, Ling Xuan couldn't see the end of the snow that was falling like goose feathers: "Hey--I really hope everyone doesn't have to worry about the future!" At this time, from behind Ling Xuan, there was a low sob......
※※※
January 1355 in the royal calendar
It was a month of disaster for many, famine spread uncontrollably across the continent, and even as far east as Sarden-Air, there were reports of freezing and starvation, and the endless snow had become a snow disaster, and there were many records of crushing houses.
The homeless had to look to the new Yarf Fasil military lords who controlled places like Travino, where there were warm houses and food to fill their stomachs, and the benevolent Lord Fapu had their doors open.
So at that time, the refugees who flocked to Travino drew countless long black lines on the mainland.
"The Francois had begun to waver, and the soldiers who had been forcibly drawn into the army seemed to have started a rebellion. The news was delivered to Ling Xuan's desk on February 10, and at this time, Ling Xuan was filling his stomach with half-thick and half-fine rice.
Putting down his rice bowl, Ling Xuan stared at the guards who were passing the news for a long time, and then said, "Investigate again!"
Three days later, the news came that was confirmed.
"Due to the lack of food in the Frans, the noble units of the Francois and the Delakop army withheld the rations of the ordinary soldiers, causing discontent, and the rebellion began with the troops who had been forcibly drawn into the army, and then spread to the lower ranks of the noble army, and each side occupied half of the city and engaged in street fighting, in which seventeen named noble generals were killed. Now the two sides are at a stalemate. The scout, kneeling in the center, said loudly.
There was silence in the hall, and after glancing at all the generals sitting upright, Ling Xuan raised his hand: "Who should be the envoy." ”
After the officers looked at each other, Faris suddenly raised his hand and said in his immature voice, "Ling Xuan is willing to go!"
"Oh--" Touching his chin, Ling Xuan looked at the young officer with a little interest: "If you were an envoy, what would you say?"
Faris puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "Even the young men of the Wandering Legion have the strength to cross the snow and walk from Travino to Fran, and there is nothing more convincing for a hungry and cold enemy." ”
"Do you have any opinions about Faris being an envoy?" The officers around him shook their heads, and Rhettus's face showed the pride of Ling Xuan's descendants of the Travino people.
"Ling Xuan wants to go with Faris. Arni pulled out of the queue and said loudly.
"Why?"
"Two teenagers together will double the persuasiveness!"
There was a burst of laughter all around, Ling Xuan nodded with a smile: "Since this is the case, let you be the envoys, although half of them can be their own people, but it is still very dangerous in the war zone, Ling Xuan will send another brigade of soldiers to protect you." ”
"If you want to send people, please draw them directly from the Youth League, Ling Xuan doesn't want to be a logistics army all the time. Faris said loudly.
Staring at those fearless eyes, Ling Xuan nodded: "Okay, it's up to you to choose, all the equipment can be applied to the Decos Military Division." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
The average age of the young soldiers was sixteen years old, this was the first time that the Wandering Corps Junior Team had appeared on the battlefield on the mainland, and their performance was even Ling Xuan's eyes.
On the 21st of February, Falis and his men entered the city of Fran, and as he said, his presence quickly brought the rebel troops under the banner of the Wandering Regiment, after which Faris was left with only a dozen young soldiers to the other side.
Even the "ghost" Bardock didn't pay attention to these teenagers, and summoned them directly, without even checking their weapons. At the beginning of the negotiation, Faris put forward harsh conditions, and at the moment of angering Bardock, he suddenly took out a fire gun from his arms, and a single shot shattered Bardock's brain, and when the splash of blood stained the bright clothes of the nearby nobles, the teenagers took out the fire guns from their arms and put all the nobles involved in the meeting into custody.
