"It's surprising that they'll go straight to Cheng?"

Li Qingyan looked at Xu Yuan's strange look and asked with a smile.

Xu Yuan raised his eyes and smiled, without concealment:

"A little, the sects I've seen before basically don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and this time they are really a little uncomfortable with being so active."

"People are already lying in, why don't you see the coffin?"

“.” Xu Yuan.

Li Qingyan shook his head, turned around, pressed the knife on his waist, and walked heroically towards the city gate:

"Don't you don't understand the importance of morale if you don't melee formation, although the elite of these sects is still established, their morale has reached the verge of collapse, the general is a smart person, and a smart person will naturally make the best choice."

Xu Yuan stood in place for two seconds, smiled dumbly, and quickly kept up with Li Qingyan's pace.

Although he knows that morale is very important, he doesn't have a perfect concept, and the only intuitive understanding of morale is through some SLG-type games in his previous life.

But even if it's just a game, you can see a lot of things in the subtleties.

When the wind is downwind, the people in the alliance are all beaten with chicken blood, and when the wind is fighting, there is no such person one by one, and they just lie down and take CAO, and the commander shouts and cuts his throat without moving.

In reality, this emotion will be magnified countless times under the pressure of death.

Houting County's acceptance of these routs is their only hope for survival now, and it is also the only hope that they can evacuate here in an organized manner.

Once the generals shatter this hope, the morale of the army will really collapse.

The possibility of a battalion howling, surrendering, and fleeing is far greater than if they were performing a duty as a soldier.

The city wall is composed of a special material, which melts when the wind and snow falls, and will not form snow, which will affect the soldiers' city defense.

After the soldiers patrolling the Beifeng Army saw the two people who went down to the city tower, they gave way and saluted.

Of course, this etiquette is only for Li Qingyan, and now Xu Yuan can only be regarded as a supernumerary idler.

Old proton.

After going down the city tower, Xu Yuan thought that Li Qingyan would greet the two generals of the sect's border army at the gate of the city.

The other party chose to directly surrender to Cheng Cheng or something, but in the end, the woman directly called people to bring two horses with demon beast blood.

Looking at the tall and mighty Beifeng military horse, Li Qingyan simply turned over and got on the horse, while Xu Yuan stood in place and asked with a slight hesitation:

"Qingyan, are you going back to the mansion?"

Li Qingyan rode on the military horse, the wind and snow reflected the smile on her lips, and asked rhetorically:

"If you don't go back to the mansion, is this palace still here to welcome those people from the sect into the city?"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment, turned over his horse, and replied with a smile:

"That's right, the face is earned by yourself, and now even if you don't give these sects face to the army, they can't afford to make any waves."

As they spoke, the two rode side by side.

Because Houting County has fallen once before, the whole city is said to be in ruins, and it is a ruin to say that it is ugly.

The barbarians are very poor, and after they get a place, they are basically directly Sanguang, and basically all those who can move away will be moved, and in addition to the baggage, a large part of them is building materials.

The materials science of the Great Yan Dynasty is very developed, and the strength of the spiritual iron here can probably make Gundam in Xu Yuan's previous life, and the building materials are similar.

As an outpost of the Northern Closure City, the entire Houting County is basically a military facility, and the building materials are naturally military materials.

The ability to resist the cold and protect is extremely strong, and basically has a shelf life of a hundred years, so these building materials are the rarest treasures for the barbarians who live in extremely dark places.

If it weren't for the barbarian king's strength to override the public opinion and use this Houting County as their stronghold to go south, before Dayan recovered Houting, the city walls would probably have been dismantled and transported away by those poor and frightened barbarians.

However, after several months, the reconstruction of the entire Houting county is also on the right track.

The ruined walls have been repaired, the most important moats have been re-engraved, and the barracks and warehouses of the soldiers in the city have been rebuilt one after another.

Looking at the half-repaired military camp in the distance, Xu Yuan suddenly looked sideways at Li Qingyan beside him and asked:

"Qingyan, there's something I want to ask you."

Li Qingyan was in a good mood and snorted:

"When did the colt become so polite, just ask directly if you have something."

Xu Yuan groaned slightly and said in a low voice:

"Now that we have only 40,000 soldiers in Houting County, won't it be a problem to directly receive these nearly 20,000 defeated troops?"

The defense line around Houting County stretched for nearly 300 miles, and the three cities and more than a dozen camps were divided into horns at the same time.

When Li Qingyan heard this question, he chuckled and shook his head:

"Mr. Zong was anxious for us generals to have a meeting, and the first thing he did was to discuss the arrangements for the rout of the army."

"Oh?"

Xu Yuan was suspicious: "I remember that at that time, even the Yun Qi bullet had not been sent to the sect, and Mr. Zong was so far-sighted?" ”

"It's just a plan, and you have to plan ahead for everything when you're out on the march."

Li Qingyan didn't care about this, and said clearly: "The way to deal with these sect rout armies is actually very simple, take off their armor, hand over their blades, and then disrupt their establishment, their combat strength will be directly reduced to six or seven, as long as they don't let them know that their father and emperor are ready to take action against their mountain gate, it is basically impossible for these rout troops to risk death and rebel." ”

Xu Yuan pursed his lips and said in a low voice with a smile:

"Discuss this matter, and as for not even letting me sit in on it?"

Li Qingyan stared at him with a smile:

"You should know that Mr. Zong is not guarding against you, my younger brother doesn't care, but if you participate, does my second brother want to participate?"

Fair.

Now Li Zhaoyuan, the sixth oldest, is now suspected of fornicating with the sect, and if he knows the actual military information, it will be easily leaked.

Xu Yuan said indifferently about this:

"I think it doesn't hurt to let your second brother know, on the contrary, it might be better if you let him know, there are only a few people who participated in the meeting, and he dared to leak the military information. Oh no, we can take the initiative to leak the military information and provide your eldest brother with a hat that can kill him. ”

“.”

Li Qingyan stopped with his horse and stared at Xu Yuan, his eyes were a little strange.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan also stopped the demon horse under his crotch, spread his hands, and said with a smile:

"Why are you looking at me like that? Ben Gongzi has a flower on his face? ”

“.”

Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths, and then sighed softly:

"I found out that your heart is really dirty, even dirtier than the heart of this person in the army."

Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, looked down at his hand, shook his head and said:

"Politics is the most cruel, but I do seem to have changed a little."

After a pause,

Xu Yuan's voice changed, he changed the topic, and said with a smile:

"Alas, Mr. Zong is really, I haven't seen him for a long time, and this time he didn't even fight me, so he took Li Yunqing and Li Zhaoyuan directly to Guangzhen City."

Li Qingyan didn't continue to talk about the topic just now, drove his horse and continued to move forward, and said along Xu Yuan:

"Mr. Zong should be worried that you, the actual "person in charge" of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the north, will you be uncertain about Mr. Zong's heart after you successfully plot the sect and the barbarians. ”

After a pause,

Li Qingyan looked sideways at the phoenix eyes and bent into two crystal crescents, and said with a smile:

"As long as I don't meet you, I will not be subject to military orders abroad, are you right?"

“.”

Xu Yuan blinked his eyes, a little puzzled:

"These words. Qingyan, how do you know? ”

Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, tilted his head, and said:

"This sentence has been spread by the Yuan Commander throughout the northern border, and now many generals under the palace have this in their mouths, why doesn't the palace know?"

“.” Xu Yuan.

Li Qingyan restrained his smile and raised his eyes to look at the magnificent mansion at the end of the road:

"Okay, let's get ready, we'll still have to meet those two sect generals later."

Xu Yuan was slightly stunned, raised his hand and pointed at himself:

"I'm going too?"

With the current situation in the north, everything that should be planned has already been planned, and the next battle against the barbarians depends on the play of Zong Qingsheng and Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled, stared at him and said meaningfully:

"There are some things that are inconvenient for the palace to end up in person, and they need a gentleman to say and do it, after all, in addition to their baggage, they also have to confiscate their Sumeru rings."

Half an hour later.

Sitting on the main hall of the mansion, Xu Yuan stared at a man and a woman who slowly walked in below, his eyes were slightly amazing.

The man Xu Yuan didn't look at it.

The woman took off her armor, dressed in a slim suit, with slender curves, cloudy sideburns, snowy skin and red lips, and beautiful eyes with a hint of heroism.

He had seen so many sect disciples, but he didn't seem to have seen a few ugly ones.

But think about it, it is difficult for ordinary people to pursue beautiful and handsome men, but for families with power and money, it is easy to obtain, and for thousands of years, as long as there is no genetic mutation, it is basically impossible to be ugly.

And after the two entered the mansion and saluted briefly to Li Qingyan on the main seat, they didn't say anything more.

Time passes minute by minute,

And Xu Yuan's gaze kept wandering back and forth on the woman in the hall, and his unscrupulous appearance made the two people below frown slightly.

But it's a pity that the form is oppressive, and they can only bear this anger.

I don't know how long it took,

"Ahem!" Li Qingyan suddenly coughed lightly.

“.” Xu Yuan came back to his senses when he heard the sound and glanced at Li Qingyan.

“.” Li Qingyan frowned and glared at him.

Let you be a wicked person, not let you be a demon in lust.

Xu Yuan smashed his mouth, touched his chin, chuckled and began to do business:

"Luo Qingfeng?"

“.”

Hearing this, the woman below frowned even tighter, was silent for a moment, arched her hand, and her voice was as crisp as a silver bell:

"It's Qingfeng, but Qingfeng doesn't seem to have seen Gongzi, I don't know who you are."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan suddenly grinned.

Gotcha, old acquaintance.

After a year, his memories of the many heroines in the former Cangyuan are almost blurred, but he didn't expect to meet one here.

Luo Qingfeng, Dad is the Supreme Elder of Xueluo Palace, and the barbarian is the limited heroine in the world line where the final boss appears.

Since she only appeared once, Xu Yuan almost forgot about her.

is one of the heroines of the heroic female general type, a woman with a strong appearance and a weak heart.

In Cangyuan, after befriending her, Luo Qingfeng will tell the player that she would rather be a lady who keeps to herself than leading troops to fight.

The final ending is also very good, Luo Qingfeng will change from a female general who fights in all directions to a virtuous helper with a husband and children, and even takes the initiative to help players attack other heroines.

It's a pity.

With the current situation, this woman probably has to follow in the footsteps of Ji Qingyue's two sisters.

Stopping his thoughts, Xu Yuan looked sideways at the scar-faced man on the side and asked:

"In this way, this gentleman should be Hou Jiancheng?"

Hou Jiancheng's brows were also furrowed, but he smiled instead:

"This son seems to have investigated me and Qingfeng, so he thinks it should be the top of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

"It's not like the higher-ups, I'm just an idler."

Xu Yuan waved his hand, and as he spoke, his eyes wandered back and forth between the two, with a bit of amusement.

These two people are called childhood sweethearts when they say it well, and they lick the dog and the goddess when they say it badly.

When he was in Cangyuan, he also slapped this kid in the face.

Qingmei can't beat the sky.

The contest beat this kid, and then hugged Luo Qingfeng and walked away, and then it was the 18X plot that he liked to see.

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan had an inexplicable smile in his eyes, and said lightly:

"Two generals, you are also clear about the current situation, so I won't say much nonsense, for the sake of the overall situation in the north, please hand over the Sumeru ring on your body."
