After hearing the news, the entire hall suddenly exploded, and these Ruoyang officials, who had originally had a conservative attitude, immediately changed their attitudes and became excited.

"If there are really 40,000 Beiliang troops attacking Huaishang, Xu Han's gang is by no means an opponent, your majesty, this is a good time for us to regain the lost territory with a large army and be ashamed of the snow."

"There are many soldiers in Beiliang, and their combat power is strong, Xu Han will definitely resist with all his might, and then Qianyang will be empty, which is a good opportunity for us to take over."

Everyone was eager to try it, and they all fell to the side of the main battle faction.

Na Shici said even more angrily: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army to fight against Xu Han, for the king, for our shame before the snow." ”

In the face of the impassioned enthusiasm of his subordinates, Han Zhaofu's old face showed relief, secretly gritting his already loose teeth, and the long-suppressed resentment was quietly gushing.

The dignified Eight Horses and Famous Men commanded millions of people in Luoyang, but they were forced to speak low for such a pawn as Xu Han, such a shame, how could they not hold a grudge.

In Han Zhaofu's view, now is his chance to take revenge.

However, Han Zhaofu did not rush to make a decision, but moved his gaze to Rui'an, "Rui'an, everyone is asking for battle, do you think this king should send troops." ”

After a moment of silence, Rui An said: "If it is true that the Northern Liang Army attacked Xu Han, this is really an excellent opportunity for us to sweep away Xu Han and recover the lost territory." ”

Rui'an's words mean that he is also in favor of war.

Affirmed by the chief, Han Zhaofu's confidence increased greatly, and pride appeared on his calm face.

Syllable!

Han Zhaofu took the case and said excitedly: "Xu Han's dog thief, invading the land of our state, is really hateful. This king is now determined to follow the will of the Xuan Kingdom to wipe out this thief, and I will order you to gather an army of 50,000 people, and when the time comes, Keri will send troops to attack Qianyang. ”

"No, my subordinates will not be dishonored."

Shi resigned to receive the order, and he was also very excited, and when he thought of being able to avenge the previous revenge for being played by Xu Han, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to send troops immediately.

Han Zhaofu, who gave the order arrogantly, looked at the north from afar, a slight sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, and he muttered in his mouth: "Xu Han, you are a lowly person, you have been humiliated many times, this time this king will definitely return it together!" ”

。。。。

Qianyang City, Taishou Mansion.

What was originally a relaxed atmosphere quickly turned heavy.

Ling Zirui's Si Wen who was densely spread in Luoyang was meticulous, and sent the latest information to Qianyang as soon as possible.

The army of Luoyang City was gathering, and even part of the army stationed in Gangneung was ordered to move in the direction of Huaishang by water.

There are all kinds of signs that Han Zhaofu is mobilizing an army of about 50,000 people to the north, and it is naturally self-evident who such a huge number of soldiers and horses are used to deal with.

Not only in the direction of Luoyang, but also the news from the south also made Xu Han feel a little uneasy.

On the order of Li Zhenwei of the Yi Kingdom, he went south to collect and surrender the southern department, and is currently moving west from the south, approaching the direction of Qianyang.

There are about 10,000 troops in the department, in the name of assisting Xu Han to deal with the attack of the Northern Liang army, but Xu Han knows that the actual purpose is to take advantage of the situation to plot against Qianyang.

This series of information made Xu Han feel the severity of the situation even more.

Han Zhaofu has 50,000 soldiers and horses, Zhu Xuan's five Beiliang troops have 40,000 cavalry, plus 10,000 Yi troops who are eyeing him, he will face the siege of nearly 100,000 enemies.

Although these 100,000 enemies have their own ghosts and are not subordinate to each other, just the absolute superiority in strength is enough to suppress Xu Han breathlessly.

At this time, Xu Han couldn't help but realize that he was facing an unprecedented crisis.

What he had to do was to use Huai Yi County, 20,000 soldiers and horses, against the powerful vassal kings of the three sides, and defeat the enemy of 100,000 people.

When the news spread, Qianyang went up and down, and suddenly fell into tension.

"I heard that no, the Beiliang Army and Han and I are going to attack our Qianyang, and our General Xu will definitely not be able to pass this hurdle this time."

"General Xu is very tight, didn't he repel the first few enemy attacks."

"That's in front of you, this time it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of enemies, and General Xu Han will definitely be defeated even if he has three heads and six arms."

"Hundreds of thousands of enemies are scared to death, if this is the case, General Xu will definitely have no chance of winning, why don't we Qianyang suffer."

"yes, so we have to get out of the city quickly and find a way to avoid it."

……

In the streets and alleys, rumors of a strong enemy were spreading, and the Qianyang Shimin, who had just established confidence in Xu Han, were also shaken at this time, and many people began to take their families out of the city, planning to take refuge in the countryside.

In the lobby, Xu Han was as calm as water, closing his eyes and listening to the unfavorable news from the counties.

Not only Qianyang, but also the rest of the Huaishang counties also had a panic.

"General, the great enemy is coming, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and the situation can be said to be very unfavorable for us."

Even Man, who has always been calm, became anxious at this time.

Xu Han didn't have a trace of anxiety in his heart, but he knew deeply that the more he was in this kind of crisis, as the commander-in-chief, he had to show extraordinary courage, otherwise how could he suppress the panic of his subordinates.

He took a secret breath and slowly opened his eyes, a little disdain flowing in his cold eyes.

Looking around at the anxious faces under the seat, Xu Han only sneered, and said lightly: "Now is not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, what is there to panic about, you just need to do your own job, and you will have your own means to break the enemy." ”

Of course, Xu Han didn't expect a strategy to break the enemy, but if he didn't have it at this time, he had to say that he did, after all, stabilizing people's hearts was the first priority.

Everyone had seen Xu Han stage various Jedi counterattacks, and when they heard Xu Han claim that he had a means to break the enemy, his anxiety calmed down a little.

"It is naturally best for the general to have a strategy to break the enemy, but now that the people are fleeing and the situation of Dingkou is outflowing, I don't know how the general plans to deal with it?" Man Yi asked.

Xu Leng snorted, "These guys usually enjoy the protection of the general, but now the enemy only wants to protect themselves, how can there be such a cheap thing, pass on the order of the general, and the counties will be strictly investigated from now on, and if there are any escapees, they will all be punished heavily." ”

The resolute cold words only shocked everyone.

Xu Han used his ruthlessness and self-confidence to appease his subordinates, and this military meeting, which originally implied defeatist sentiments, ended with a high spirit.

The subordinates retreated, but Xu Han left Liu Xu alone.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Hanfang said: "The strong enemies around are around, and the army is pressing the border at hand, I don't know what good strategy Mr. can have to break the enemy." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xu suddenly looked stunned.

Just now, he was still infected by Xu Han's self-confidence, thinking that Xu Han had already made up his mind, and he didn't want to blink an eye, but he asked himself again.

Stunned for a moment, Liu Xu began to understand, and said strangely: "The old man listened to the words of the general, and thought that the general had a strategy to break the enemy. ”

"That's right, isn't Ben General's strategy to break the enemy exactly your resourceful mind, sir." Xu Han looked serious.

Liu Xu smiled bitterly, "The general is really praised, such a heavy burden, the old man's body, I'm afraid he can't bear it." ”

"Mr. and Ben Jiang are already in the same boat, if this predicament can't be overcome, we will go to Huangquan together, so this burden, sir, you have to carry it if you don't carry it."

Xu Han's tone was filled with a bit of threat.

He knew that Liu Xu was the best at protecting himself, and in order to protect himself, he could abandon Deng Yinshuo, so now in order to protect himself, of course he may also abandon himself.

In order for Liu Xu to fully assist him through this crisis, Xu Han must tie this old fox to his fate.

Liu Xu's acting-like expression changed secretly, and he already felt Xu Han's cold chill.

At the moment he could only laugh and scratch his head in contemplation.

Xu Han was indifferent and idle, only caring about tasting his own tea.

After a while, Liu Xu coughed a few times, suggesting that he had an idea, and Xu Han raised his head and listened quietly.

"Li Zhenwei is sick under his eyes, and his mind is all on collecting the states and fighting the country all the way, and he is expected to just wait and see the success or failure, and move wantonly, and only need to send a capable general and thousands of soldiers and horses to prevent it."

Liu Xu expressed his judgment.

Xu Han nodded slightly, agreeing, in fact, he had analyzed it before, and his ideas coincided with Liu Xu.

"Go on."

Liu Xu said again: "Han Zhaofu, this time he has gathered 50,000 troops, looking at this situation, it should not be like the previous two times, taking advantage of the opportunity, our army should be able to fight with him." However, Han Zhaofu is mediocre and incompetent, as long as we have enough soldiers and horses in Chaoyang City to drag Han Zhaofu until we can withdraw and return to the army to the south, then Han Zhaofu will naturally retreat along the way. ”

Xu Han pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Mr. is reasonable, then I will order Manman to lead an army of 5,000 to guard Chaoyang City, with his ability, I think it is enough to ensure that the city is not lost." ”

Liu Xu did not comment on Xu Han's deployment, but his expression became solemn at this time.

"Therefore, the biggest enemy that the general faces this time is the 40,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry led by Zhu Xuan, the king of Beiliang, as long as they can repel this strong enemy, the other two roads are not to worry."

Xu Han was deeply convinced of Liu Xu's analysis.

However, he smiled and said, "Sir's words are generally good, but a little is not quite right. ”

Liu Xu was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "I don't know where the old decay is missing?" ”

"The gentleman just said that this time, the 'biggest enemy facing the general' should have been corrected, and it should be 'the biggest enemy we face'." Xu Han is serious.

He never forgot to remind Liu Xu, don't keep thinking about staying out of the matter, we are ants on a rope, and no one wants to dump anyone.

Liu Xu had no choice but to force a smile and nodded yes again and again.

Xu Han was satisfied, and then said: "Since Mr. said that the Beiliang Army is the biggest enemy, then in Mr.'s opinion, how can Ben General break this strong enemy?" ”

"Well...... "Liu Xu stroked his beard, "With all due respect, if the Beiliang army doesn't kill each other, the world will be invincible." ”

Invincible!

Hearing these four words, Xu Han's heart shook slightly.

The world is invincible, what arrogance is that.
